DUST RAG SLAVERY.
and an Entirely Erroneous
Sense Of Duty.

when. the other day, after the Jun
ior blizzard" said Mr.. Billtops, II saw
Mrs. Blltops struggling to open win
dow that was banked up on the outside
with snow and ice 1 wondered what un-
der the canopy she wanted to open 1t
for; why she wanted to open any win
dow, for that matter, with the ther-
mometer the way It was. II 1t had been
left to me I should have left the window
closed till the snow melted off in the
spring. But Mrs. Billtops insisted, and
what do you suppose she wanted to
open 1t for? So she could shake dus,
rag out! She opened it, shook the dust
rag, and then closed the window again.
and went on about her work with a
placid expression on her face.
"She had performed what she re-
garded as q bounden duty. She does a
certain amount of dusting, and shakes
the dust rag out of certain windows, at
certain specified hours daily. When
she comes to a certain window she
stops busting, raises the cash, shakes
the dust rag out. closes the window and
goes ahead on the circuit Of the room.
And she wouldn't be satisfied unless 81, c
had done these things and in Just this
way. They are part Of her daily rou-
tine Of life, which must not be neg
lected; she can't let anything go.'-N.

knows how to make paper sell. You
see the headlines Of the inquest will
run clear across the top Of the page:

was it: The rongshoreman was Mike
Bigelow, and SO we got seven portraits
of Bigelows from various walks of life,
and printed them in line all the way
across a page, with the 'longshoreman
in the middle.
"The philanthropist was on one side
of him, and old Ezra Bigelow, cashier
Of the Wall Street national bank, on
the other. Then there was the society
swell that leads cotillions, and min
lister up in Harlem, and I've forgotten
the others, but they were all good men.
Underneath were few words telling
who they were, and over 1t all the line:

idea was to have them all look little
like the 'longshoreman, and that was
a pretty hard proposition. for he was
a one-eyed desperate with face like
the laughing hyena. Yet I managed
to work something of the same express
sion into John Williamson Bigelow's
benevolent features. Andrews was very
we'll satisfied"
"I'm glad that somebody was salts

there was row about the thing"

paper. That's the way to make cir

"But wouldn't it be enough OF sn
outrage on Bigelow," said I, ITO simply
print his portrait IN the way that you
suggest, without making him look like
Capt. Kidd in the act Of scuttling Sun
day school picnic?"
MY dear fellow" said George,
you're back number. That sort Of
thing might do for the Wayback Week
ly, but it isn't journalism. It would
spoil the appearance Of the page. That
page has got TO holler murder, and
Bigelow has got to help It. Andrews
couldn't have picked better man.
Wouldn't it startlo you, now honestly,
wouldn't 1t, to see the portrait Of n
man like Bigelow right in the middle
Of a murder story?"
"Startle me? Well, I should think it
would. And should say 1t might pro-
duce the same effect on Bigelow."
"Then you'd buy the paper to see
what 1t meant" said George, "and so
would Bigelow. And after you've
bought it, you'll have no kick COM
ing. There'n be the charity story, all
right, with q paragraph referring to
Bigelow's portrait, from his latest
photograph I'm going to letter those
words on to the picture. Then II his
friends don't like it, they can blame
the photographer, not me, nor Mr.. An
drews, by jingo."
George carefully erased few lines
on the face, and then curled up the
lip of Mr.. Bigelow, the philanthropist,
in such way as to expose the eye
tooth. and impart to the countcnance
the expression of one who has just bit
ten off the head Of spike.

1t is difficult, however, to make
peacable citizens of men who have
been professional revolutionists all
their lives, as most of the Cuban lead
ers have been.
In view of the situation at Manila,
where Aguinaldo's hordes are firing
on the Red Cross, using the white flag
to lure our soldiers jim range of their
rifles, acting as midnight incendiaries,
and otherwise showing themselves to
be outside the pale of civilization, the
speeches in praise of the Filipinos
that have been made in congress, are
closely allied to treason, and as such
their makers deserve the condemna-
ton of the country. Representative
Cannon was precisely right when he
said, in the house: eff the speeches
made here yesterday by Mr.. Simpson
Derry and others had been made in
Manila, they would have been arrest
ed, tried by drum head court martial
and shot. The U. S. has and will con-
tinute to exercise sovereignty in the
Philippines. If they are obstructed,
the power of the whole people, as
represented by the army and navy,
will see to it that our authority is
maintained, and the rocks and noun
tains will fall upon any in dividual or
any party which seeks to obstruct it.
