The Best Day.

Sumo skies may be gloomy,
Some moments be sad,
But everywhere, always,
Some souls must be glad,
For true IL the saying
Proclaimed by the seer,
Each day IL the best day
or somebody's year!'
Each day finds hero,
Each day helps saint;
Each day brings to some one
A jOv without faint.
Though 1t may not he my turn
Or yours that Is near,
Each day Is the best day
Or somebody's year,
The calendar sparkles
With days that have brought
Some prize that was hoped for,
Some good that was sought.
High deeds happen daily;
Wide truths grow more clear.
Each day is the best day
or somebody's year"
No sun ever rises
But brings JOY behind,
No sorrow In letters
The whole earth can bind.
How selfish our frettiDg.
How narrow our teal!

REMARKABLE PROPERTIES OF

Inc properties of nickel steel are so
peculiar that Mark Twain himself might

STRIKES AND Personal LIBERTY.

Archbishop Ireland in the North Ameri-
can Review.
10 men who are entering upon a strike
1t should be clear that in preventing
others from working they are acting in
drect contradiction to the very principle
OF personal liberty, by virtue of which
they justify themselves in ceasine to
work. When individual workmen refuse
10 continue to work. no one claims the
right to compel them to work, for the
SIMPLE reason that in the enjoyment of
their personal liberty they are free to
work or not to work. But evidently the
coroilary of this is that men who choose
to work must be allowed to work Not
men initiating strike had reason to ex-
pect summary treatment from law courts,
prone as these were to interpret in
manner unfaVorable to such collective ac-
ton the various So-called conspiracy stat
utes strewn over the pages of English
and American law books. Against such
statutes and against the interpretations
usually attached to them the friends of
labor waged unceasing war in the name
of personal liberty, with the result that
now, except in cases involving a breach
of contract or entailing serious damage
to public interests, labor unions may,
without risk of mourning the displeasure
of the law, initiate strike and continue
it as long as they may deem fit Is it not
strange that, after labor unions have
won the long-fought battle for their own
personal liberty, they should turn around
and strive to wrest personal liberty from
non-union workers? 1t would seem that
labor unions sought to be a law to them
selves apart from and above the law of
the land.

the political death of every congressman
and senator who should lift up his voice
to declare that the canteen shield is any
thing but silver. For his political life
he dare not peep. This is not true of all,
but it is of a ~reat many. Where is
there an Iowa, a Dakota, or a Kansas
congressman who would have the temer-
ity to reverse himself on the canteen
question? His political tombstone would
be ordered by the women before his vote
reached the Congressional Record.

draughts to stimulate the tagging cour-
age of the soldiers in their long hours in

So closely connected are the bodily and
spiritual welfare of man that a great
saving could be made if those who adj
minister to the stomach could also adj
minister to the mind distressed. The
chaplain will find his religious instruction
received with much better grace if it
can be washed down by cooling glass
of beer. Then, too, the chaplain will
soon learn the capacity of every soldier
boy and when that capacity is reached,
he can turn off the spigot of beer and
turn on the spiritual advice
Another advantage which this arrange
ment affords lies in the fact that intoxi-

witches, and salad. col Philip Read is a

4 GOOD WORD FOR CORN BREAD.

Nashville CTenn) American.
1t is the misfortune of the Europeans
that they have not always been acquaint-
ed with the virtues of corn bread. Prop
erly made it is the best bread that is
made, more wholesome, nutritious
and healthy. 1t is a remarkable and la
mentable fact that comparatively few
cooks in this country know how to make
good corn bread. 1t is rarely to be
found in hotel; it is comparatively un-
known in boarding houses, where so
many crimes are committed in the matter
of cooking; few people in the city know
how to make it, and it is not often met
with in the country where corn bread is
largely used, and where it ought to reach
perfection 1t would be a wise benefac-
ton if some wealthy philanthropist would
endow a school to teach the art of making
good corn bread and the variety of ways
in which cornmeal can be made palata,
bic. When the European peasant learns
to appreciate the virtues of corn bread he
will no more be content with the abom-
Unable black bread and the cigar-shaped
loaves of adamantine crust and spongy,
ductile contents, which he calls bread.
