THE IRON HAND.

THE Iron Hand of the Department Store"
is q recent attempt to depict some of the hor-
rors which seem about to devour all that is
manly and womanly in modern life. One of
the great objections to African slavery was
its brutalizing, debasing influences upon the
masters and its blight was over all. II is
just now beginning to dawn upon the minds
OF all students Of sociology that the evil ef-
fect5 Of commerciali5m are not confined TO
the helpless victims, but that the masters
themselves suffer little less than those whom
they p!under.
The salient facts Of modern wage slavery
are quite forcibly portrayed in the "Iron
Hand" and we would advise all who can to
purchase this little volume and keep it 10 the
hands Of all who can read.
To properly provide against an evil we must
know Of that evil, must know Of its methods
OF attack, It's resources and all Of its charac-
teristics.
To do this we must survey such evil from
every possible point Of view The 'Iron
Hand" presents this evil Ia a striking light
from one point of view.

THE ANNIVERSARY.

Tues Law. November LIST, 1898, proved to be
dav lone to be remembered by Equality COZ
ony. This was their first anniversary, and
when the gong sounded for breakfast and
each person of this large family appeared at
his accustomed place at the tables, the
merry exchange of good morning was an IN
dcation that this, the first holiday in Equal
ty colony, was to be merry one. After
breakfast each person attended to his or her
work. which was soon over, and at ~ O'Clock
we listened to the sweet strains of music from
the brass band of II pieces, led by Prof.
Young, through whose untiring efforts sue
cess has been attained. After two pieces from
the band, the family had gathered in the
sohoolhouse; and as the two partitions had
been removed and a stage 12x28 had been
erected, there was room for all and all were
there Overalls and jumpers had been laid
to one side and each appeared in his best suit
of clothes: and it was not a rustic gathering
either. An informal reception was held from
10 to II, intermingled with two solos from r.
Barton, and two Duets from Profs. Young
and Potts. Promptly at II the gong sounded
for dinner A little extra had been prepared
for the occasion, and all did ample justice to
the repast. After dinner each to his work

we're again called to the schoolhouse by the

Wouldn't it be nice if the children OF the
E c should unite to get some serviceable
machine that the children here could put to
work, and the-proceeds of which could be ap-.
piled to the teaching OF socialism. Let's hear
from the little ones.
August Gerth of San Francisco is the au-
thor of a book which is of great interest to
co-operators. The author outlines plan by
which he hopes that all who will can find
profitable work at home, amid surroundings
and associations of his choice. The plan out
lined has much to recommend it, and if care
fully studied and patiently applied can
scarcely fail to bring JOY and gladness to
many homes. We would recommend a care
full study of ''The Extraction of Poverty
Price rs cents.
The committee on the donkey engine has
been given power to buy according to their
discretion. We have taken plenty of time in
searching for the best bargain that could be
found. 1t is very important that we use the
money to the best advantage, as we have not
yet received enough to fully pay for it. 1t
would greatly aid the work here if our outside
friends would try to get new people interest
ed in our machinery fund. We are but pre-
pairing place for them to work. and they
can hasten the day when they can shuttle off
the shackles of wage-savery by assisting to
provide the necessary machinery for the pio-
neers to work with. We should not hesitate
to approach our socialist friends and ask them
to contribute to circulate literature. The B
G c friends are vast in number and if each
could be identified to even small degree
with the material work now going ON, it
would be an easy and assured success. We
are receiving letters every day of some one
who has sacrificed some little indulgence to
increase our machinery fund. Let this be-
come general and the B c C will stand for
the administration Of the world.

TIE LAND or ANYHOW.

Beyond the Isle of What's the use,
Where Slipshod point is now,
There used to be, when I was young,
The Land of Anyhow.
Don't Care was king of all this realm
A cruel king was he
For those who served him with good heart,
He treated shamefully
When girls and boys their tasks would
slight.
And cloud poor mothers brow,
He'd say, "Don't Care! It's good enough:
Just do it anyhow"
But when in after life they longed
To make proud fortune bow,
He let them find that fate ne'r smiles
On work done anyhow,
For he who would the harvest reap,
Must learn to use the pillow,
And pitch his tent a long way
From the Land of Anyhow.
-B.W. Manson

Nest dogs that kill sheep are bad dogs
all the way through, and sportsmen and

them. A sheep-killing dog is usually a
tramp. untrainable. and worthless for
hunting. Many of the dogs that kill sheep
are ownerless. The farmers shoot them
when they can. and sportsmen, anxious
that their dogs shall not be accounted

for sheep killers. The traps are like wolf

Within a few days several large boxes
were examined. each containing some
thing like 800 stuffed paroquets. \ box
was opened this week in which il was
estimated there were nearly 5000 Japan

caught by the Japanese in immense
members by means of nets. Their

them especially valuable to milliners.
