KANSAS EIGHT HOUR LHW.
Contractors Arrested and Will De-
fend their Claims.
TAX PAYERS PAY DIFFERENCE.

Kansas City, kas-. April 3O--The
Kansas eight-hour labor law is to be
again attacked in the courts This
time the test case. which is to deter
mine the constitutionality Of various
clauses of the act, will be instituted by
a contractor of this city
The eight-hour law, or rather por-
ton of it, was recently declared to be
constitutional by the state supreme
court. but it is claimed by Mr.. Atl<in
that there are several clauses, which
most Objectionable parts of the law.
that have never been passed upon by
any court. He believes that the law
is unconstitutional because it dictates
the price of wages that shall be paid.
The law provides that eight hours shall
constitute a days work, and that the
same wages shall be paid for the eight
hour day as were previously being paid
for a ten-hour, or longer day.
Il propose to attack the law in the
courts" said Contractor Atkin, land if
am compelled to, do all the fighting
myself, the United States supreme
court will have to declare the act con-
stitutiona1 before I will lay down I
don't believe that the law is q just one,
nor do believe it constitutional If
the contractors are compelled to pay
for ten hours work in order to get
eight, why then the extra cost Will ran
upon the taxpayers, as the contractors
| will be compelled to raise their esti-
| mates on work. We cannot take public
| work at the prices we have been ac-
| cepting it, and pay for two hours more
| work on the day than we will receive.
| You take contractor who is employ
| ing $50 men day on a public job. the
| wages averaging 90 cents an hour, and
it will be seen that the eight-hour day
| means great deal to a contractor On
| $50 men per day it would mean $50 a
| day out of the contractors pocket, or il
| the estimates are raised to make up the
| difference, it would be out of the peck

oner of the poor little raccoon. For a
time the little captive bore his i'm
prisonment very sullenly; but good
food and kind treatment soon
changed his wild, shy nature into a
spirit of love and confidence. When
he had attained full size his appear
ance was between that of a fox and
bear, on smaller scale, of course.
For the benefit of our girls and
boys interested in nature, our friend,
Mr.. E. A. Sterling, sends a photograph
of this pretty and intelligent little
animal climbing up the big limb of a
tree.
In the wild state the raccoon always
conducts himself like. a perfect little
gentleman. His favorite feeding
grounds are along the shady banks
of streams, or in some swampy bit of
woods, where can be found those large
delicious frogs he loves so well. He
has, however, no scruples against 60
ing out into the fields and orchards
in search of nuts, fruits and green

tune puts nice fat poultry in his way
Mr.. Raccoon is too much of a gentle
man to refuse them, which often gets
him into trouble with the farmer. He
also eats mice, rats, insects, eggs-in
fact is almost omnivorous. He is ac-
tive day and night.
A curious and interesting habit of
raccoons is that of washing all their
food in water. 1t matters not wheth-
err they have an ear of corn, a nice
clean berry or big fat bug, they
will always seek a little pool of wa
ter and carefully dip the object in it
several times before conveying it to
their mouth.-St Nicholas.

The principal work that they do in this

TO BE HONEST PAYS.
Senator Depew Gives Some New
Views on an Old Subject.
Crooked Methods, He Thinks, Invnri-
ably Lead to Loss of Self-Respect
and Usually End in Finan-
cial Disaster.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, head of
the Vanderbilt system of railroads, in
response to an invitation from the Chi
.cagO Tribune to write a few lines on
the subject of honesty in business"
sent in the following reply:
Honesty is too much talked about
as if it were scarce in these days. The
business principles of to-day are bet
ter, purer, and more universally hon
est than they were in the days of my
5oyhood. Then the motto of life ran
something like this: "All is fair in love,
war and trade!" But this generation
has tabooed that maxim, and business
methods were never better or more
reputable than they are at this minute.
Many immense fortunes have been
made by men of this generation, who
employed strictly honest means to at
tain their ultimate success and great
wealth. Take Bessemer, for example.
He invented the steel which is used so
extensively an over the world for car
rails and revolutionized the manufac-
ture of steel, giving employment to
thousands of persons and bringing
wealth to many beside himself.
John Wanamaker is a good man to
take for another example. He started
in a small way with a small store, and
he is to-day one of the wealthiest men
in the country, and he has been always
an upright, honest man. In what lay
tie secret of his success. Simply in
this: He knew what the people wanted,
he knew where to buy it, and he knew
how to advertise. Many a man, as we
all know, has made a fortune through
judicious advertising. Take two men
starting in business at the same time.
One uses all the money he makes in liv-
ing well-even extravagantly.
The other invests all the surplus cash
that he can lay his hands on in adver-
tising here, there and everywhere that

you will have to find some one who
has. At some other time may tell you
how you can magnetic your needle
without a magnet. To magnetic the
compass needle, lay it upon a smooth
surface, and with one pole or end of
the magnet stroke the steel from near
it's middle to one end; and with the
other end or pole stroke the other end
of the steel from the middle to the
other end. This should be repeated
until the steel is thoroughly magnet
lied. If now the needle be balanced up
on it's support it may dip little. This
can be remedie'l by breaking off a little
of the heavy end. Try different metals
on your needle, and see if all act upon
it in just the same way.-Orange Judd

mand, as Gen. Macarthur ever since
he became major ten years ago has
served in the adjutant generals de-
partment.
In the service of the two men in
the Philippines the successful conduct
of the campaign, managed always,
even in its details, by the senior gen.
eral, has been matched by the vigor-
GUS field work of the junior, and his
uniform success in handling divisions
over which he held command.
Gen. Otis is man of 81 and will
have only two years to serve before
army regulations cause him to be re-
tired. Macarthur is six years young
er and his present high rank in the
regular service insures him a very
prominent place in the army for the
full eight years which remain to him
of active service. Gen. Otis was COM
mander of the departments of Column
bia and Colorado before being as
signed to the command, at first Sec
ond to that of Gen. Merritt, in the
Philippines. On his way to his field
of duty it fell to him to raise the
American flag at Honolulu,
Gen. Macarthur saw service at
Tampa and Chickamauga in the ad-
jutant generals department before
his assignment to the line in the Phil
ippines, and he assisted in the mob
ilization of the army of invasion of
Cuba.

MIX Direct from the Cow,

Mrs. Morey of Coney Island, New
York, peddles milk, but she doesn't
keep a horse and wagon. Instead of
that she drives her COW around to the
houses of her customers, and while
they wait Mrs. Morey says, $50, Bess!"
to the sleek-looking COW, and proceeds
to milk the desired quantity. In this
way each customer is assured that the
milk received is fresh and free from
adulteration. This custom of leading
the COW from door to door was COM
mon practice in this country many,
many years ago, and in parts of Europe
the mich cows or goats are still made
to serve in the place of the modern
milk wagon.
