HOW THE People, PAY FOR

While the trusts have h-rer aud
there slightly decreased the wages
of their employees, they have in ev-
cry instance added several times
as much to their own profits, and
made the people foot the entire

Golfers Weekly: 1t is certainly not
true that small hands are bred by
choice descent, for in one family the
hands of both women and men are
found different in size and in every
other quality. The individual woman
of the people stretches and hardens
her hand and batters her nails on her
own account, so that months OF care
would not retrieve it; but doubtless
her baby hand was much the same as
a rich woman's in her own babyhood.
English women and Americans, with
their blonde hands, are admired de-
liriously for this one beauty by the
darker races. But at any rate to Eng
fish eyes there is loneliness also in the
| fine hand that has clear brown color in
place of white-a rare beauty, for the

terrible story of cruelty and suffering

of China and Thibet, and was shot at
time and again. Passing through
countless dangers, and without the aid
of single native servant, she travelled

the circumference a series of-say, six
-roller-studs. These rollers travel
in an equal number of semi-circular
cam ways cut around the inner circum-
ference of the sprocket rim. The same
system Of sprocket mounting and driv-
ing is applied to the rear wheel, the
roller studded wheel, which here car
ries the sprocket teeth, being revolu-
bly, mounted In the frame and the cam
trimmed ring being secured TO the rear
hub. The inventors claim for this
construction is that the diameter OF
the front sprocket can be considerably
increased without lessening the ratio
between crank length and sprocket
radius as the power is applied near the
rim of the sprocket. 1t is supposed
that the friction in the driving chain
joints will be thus greatly lessened.
