ST. MARY'S ACADEMY,

z We call the attention OF our readers
to the advertisement of st. Mary's
Academy, which appears in another
column of this paper. We do not need
to expatiate upon the scholastic advan-
tages Of st. Mary's, for the catalogue
Of the school shows the scope of work
included in its curriculum, which is
Of the same high standard as that Of
Vassar and Bryn Mawr, and is carried
out faithfully in the class rooms. We
simply emphasize the spirit of earnest
devotion which makes every teacher
Of st. Marys loyalty strive to develop
each young girl attendant there into
the truest, .noblest, and most intelligent
womanAood. Every advantage of
equipment in the class rooms, labora-
tories and study rooms, every care in
the matter of food and clothing, ana
exceptional excellence of climatic con-
ditions-all these features are found at
st. Mary's, in the perfection of develop
ment only to be obtained by the con-
secration Of devoted lives to educa-
tional Christian work I'M a spot ia

miserable condition. Many plantations
are overrun with grass and weeds SIM
ply because 1t has been impossible to
get men to keep them clean. Secre-
tary Wilson thought over these evils
and decided to try to solve the diff
Guilty. He proposed to start a national
employment agency for the purpose of
securing farm hands. He opened COM
munications with over 5000 colleges
and schools, educational and ,philan-
thropic institutions, making Inquiries
as to the number Of students or in
mates who would be willing to work
In the neighboring fields during SOW
ing and harvest times. From the let
tiers thus sent out a list has been
made of over 1000 colleges or other
institutions which are willing to fur
nish the names Of young men who
are anxious to get employment Of this
sort. In making up this list the Sec
rotary has been careful to exclude all
agencies which make any charge
whatever for their service, the idea
being to bring the would-be employers
and deserving young men together
without tax of any kind.

ArprecIatiys Workmsn.

I'm spite Of the belief of many EN-,
ployers in the unresponsiveness Of the
workingmen to good treatment" re-
marked the president of a trust COM
pany in this city the other day. says
the New York Times, my experience
has been that in general If you treat
your men rightly they will treat you
well in return. When l hear discus
sions Of the relations existing between
workingmen and their employers, l in
variably think of an experience my
father, a manufacturer of Philadel-
phia, had with the men employed in a
factory owned by him. At one time
some years ago, when the business in
which he was engaged was being car
ried on with little or no profit he con-
tinued to pay his men the established
rate Of wages in spite of the fact that
the men employed in other factories
doing the same work had had their
wages considerably cut down. After
this had been going on for some time
he was one day waited on by COM
mittee of his workmen, who asked to
confer With him about their wages.
Not unnaturally he was surprised and
disappointed, believing that the men
had come to make some complaint. 1t
Is easy to imagine what his astonish-
ment was when the men informed him
that they had come to insist Oh his
reducing their wages. They said that
they had been we'll treated in good
times, and did not wish him to suffer
in bad times through his generosity to
them. At first he refused to make any
change but in body they said that
they would strike II he did not reduce
their wages. You see, that generous
employer can find appreciation and
even generosity among those whom
he employs"

Summer Of the Heart.
For all the wintry flakes of frost it's
summer time somewhere
Violets in the valleys, bird songs in
the air;
The chilly winds have only blown the
lily's lips apart
It's summer in the world, my dear, and
summer in the heart!
For all the gray skies glooming It's
summer in the dells-
In the merry song of reapers, In the
tinkling of the bells;
The sweet south skies are Frightening
as with springtime's magic art
But the sweetest summer. dearest is
the summer of the heart!
Still, still the birds are singing ana
still the groves are green,
And still the roses redden and the
loyal lilies lean;
Love fades not with the season; wnen
summer days depart,
It's summer still, my dearest, IN tne
Eden of the heart.

We are slowly getting court decls-
ions on the rights of employers and
employed which are in accordance
with common sense; that is, they rec
opnize the freedom of the individuals
to do as they please so long as they
do not interfere with the liberties or
the rights of others, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. In Chicago on Monday Judge
Waterman decided that certain pack
ers had right to refuse to employ
girls who had refused to work for
other packers. The girls had struck
voluntarily and had agreed not to
work for a certain firm because they
did not like the conditions there. The
firms engaged in the same business
agreed not to employ the strikers. The
Judge holds that the agreement OF the
girls was within their rights and that
the agreement of the employers was
also legal. A man may employ CO re-
fuse 20 employ whom he chooses. the
court will not 60 into his motives so
long as he keeps within his rights
The men may work for whomever they
choose or refuse to work, exercising
tteir taste and their judgment in the
matter. BY refusing to work for
man they may intend to injure MS
business, but so long as they simply
abstain from working for him they
are within their rights. This decision
means that the courts will not con-
strain either the employer or the en-
ployed in the exercise of the rights TO
choose where he will work or whom ne
will employ. 1t means that lockouts-
which ought to be written locksoM-
and strikes are legal, which we beireve
has been admitted for some time. But
It does not mean that boycott mas
any justification. The boycott is con-
spiracy to injure the business of an
other. It goes beyond refusing to work
for another man and involves per-
suading others to refuse to work LOT
him or to trade with him. 1t is Or
eanized interference with the rights of
another. Vice Chancellor Pitkin OF
New Jersey has just decided how far
interference can go. He has granted
an injunction restraining certain
strikers in Paterson from interfering
with the business Of one Of the silk
mills in that city. The strikers must
not force themselves on the new
hands in an attempt to persuade them
to stop work and they may net talk
with the new hands without their con-
sent. The pickets may walk the streets
IL they choose, but they must not con-
strain the liberty of any one else. This
Is in accordance with the principles on
which Judge Waterman of Chicago
based his decision. The silk opera
tiyes may work or not as they choose.
The mail owners may employ the old
or the new hands according to their
taste. and the strikers must be pro-
tected in their right to stop work, and
the employers must be protected in
their right to employ those willing to
work. One does not need to be
learned in the law to understand these
decisions or their bearing on the la
Dor problem. They are simply the
enforcement Of the rights of freedom
of contract, which involves the agree
ment of both contracting parties.

We have gone together across the
blue water to the Island of Sacrificios,
where there are palms and a quaint
lighthouse and a bit of beach. From
the little island, Vera Cruz rises like
an oriental dream, pink towers and
domes on which the sunlight plays, a
dream of color and beauty. One gets
his fill of color here; the old massive
houses of the center of the city, with
their Haunting curtains, raised and
lowered by the wind from off the sea,
are of many soft tones Of color, pink
pale blue, grayish white, indescribable
hues. Once in a while black-eyed,
tropical houri peeps from behind bal
cony curtain, surveys the street, and
returns to the cool interior of her
house. And there are such quaint,
semi-decayed mysterious houses every
where! One falls to weaving stories
to fit them. New Orleans has its for
eignness, but Vera Cruz is incredibly
outlandish, remote, as city once
ravaged by pirates should be.
Progress is here as everywhere else

cherished and salutary custom. Mer-

into night, and night partly into day,

Move, Employment Agency.

A novel employment agency has
been started by Secretary Wilson OF
the Agricultural Department, which
promises to give work to thousands Of
idle men, and at the same time relieve
farmers from much embarrassment
growing out of the difficulty in find
ing hands to wolx on farms. For the
past three years there has been a
growing scarcity in farm labor. Men
who for years worked regularly in the
fields have deserted their Old posts and
gone into the cities, where prosperity
has given rise to big demand for help.
This condition has proved serious
drawback to grangers, and there has
been great complaint regarding scar
city Of farm labor throughout the mid
die and northwest. In the south the
cotton planters have suffered also,
and II Is said that had there been
ample labor available this year the
cotton crops would not now be in such

A Little Drama.

In the morning a workman kissed
his wife and children and went to
help a hundred others tear down a
building. During the day he slipped
and fell. Then came an ambulance
and hospital, and then bit of black
crepe on an obscure door. His chill
dren went on without their father. His
wife, whose life had been bound up
in that of her husband, grew pale and
died. Helplessness killed the little
ones. Yet in speaking Of the accident
men said: 1T was not so bad. Only
one man was killed. Chicago Jour-
