"S9
elder son Of the squire.
The meeting was, indeed. like a res
direction to both of us. I prefer to
draw a veil over much that passed be-
tween us from the moment of recognt-
ton to the time my friends returned.
MY mother led the way to a small at
tic chamber, lighted by a window In
the roof. Out of boxes and other lum-
her, left behind by the creditors, she
had contrived to form a table and a
rough bedstead. And here. secreted
from the world, she had lived in soil
tude. as I afterwars learned, for sew
tn or eight years. 1t was many days
before l could obtain a coherent u
line of her sad history. She had gone
to the South With my father--both OF
them broken down in health and for
tune. When every avenue for finding
IL means of livelihood seemed shut out,
my father destroyed himself.
Then my mother. friendless distract
ed with grief, and her mental facul-
ties undermined. conceived u longing to
return to the old house and die there.
At length, unknown to any one, she
managed to find her way down to the
Grange and settled down in that attic
chamber.
About once a month, on q Satur-
day night. my mother was in the ha-

Mutuality of Capital and Labor.

During late years the two industrial
bodies, classed generally as employers
and employees, instead Of getting closer,
have drifted ar been driven, further
apart until neither seems 10 perceive
that the real interests of labor and cap.
ital are virtually identical, or ut least
50 nearly allied as to render misunder-
standings and strife between them dis
astrous to both. Tho substitution Of
machine for hand labor and the combi-
nation OF capital invested in active in
dustry have had much 10 do with the
disturbance Of the cordial association of
feeling aud interests which formerly
existed between the employed and the
employer. Undoubtedly the new in
dustrial and mercantile conditions have
brought about a change Of relations be-
tween the two parties, and, just as un-
dOubtedly. must the change, or any
change which has even the appearance
of antagonism between labor and capi-
.al. b, profoundly regretted.
Nothing is clearer than that the two
cannot be at odds without injury to
both: their interests are mutual, and
neither labor nor capital can prosper
without the help Of the other. AS la
Dor must have an employer and the en-
ploycr must have labor, it is self evident
that the fricndier their relations are,
in tho sense of each assisting the other,
the greater will be the measure OF their
common success.
Ono result most desirable of attain
ment is the substitution OF arbitration
for strikes and !ockouts. In all cases it
is probable thai this result could not be
secured hut there can be little cause for
doubt that If the relations OF the en-
ployed and the employers were more
friendly and candid there would be few
serious contentious between labor and
capital which could not be compromised
or amicably determined
The organization OF labor for its own
defense and benefit has again and again
proved its merits and value. Organiza-
tion has demonstrated its efficiency by in
creasing wages and by securing more IA
vorable conditions for labor. Besides
that, the great combinations of capital
have made it essential that the working
men should similarly combine for their
common advantage. But the stronger
their union the easier it should be to
convince their employers that arbitra-
tion is a much more eflicacious device
than strikes or lockouts.- Philadelphia

HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.
The Chicago Girls Travels Recorded
by Photog raphs OF Herself.

The Chicago girl that knows her
business-nnd where Is there one who

devoted exclusively to a collection Of
pictures of the one person whom she
thinks more Of than anybody else In
the world-namely. herself. There are
several laws regulating the collection
Of n personal gallery OF this kind. In
the first place. no two pictures shall
be alike; what is equally important, no
two shall be taken In the same town.
From n glimpse Mt this second condi-
ton, It is obvious that the young wo.
man who has popular collection Of
her own photographs must be some
thing Of a traveller.
In order to give added interest TO
this pursuit of herself In miniature,
each photograph Is stamped In violet
Ink, with the name of the town where

date Of the sitting. There are also
margins for recording any other Incl.

that may be considered worthy of
note.
