The employment of convict labor in
road building was one of the principal
objects of discussion at the interna.
tional good roads congress held in
Buffalo recently. Senator Earle OF
Michigan stated that 96,0OO,O00 days
labor is locked up in the prisons and
penetentiaries which can be utilized
A strong point in favor of road build
ing by convicts is that prisoners may
be employed on works of public utility
and not come in competition with free
labor, as is the case when prison shops
are devoted to shoe making and other
industries.

Welcome Assurance.

1t is a pleasure to know, from relia-
BILE sources of information, of the
assured feeling which exists at North
field, at the end of another conference
season, of the permanent and endur-
ing success of what the world at large
knows as the Moody movement"
1t has been known through the news
papers that the attendance at the CON
ferences of the past summer has been
larger than ever before, with a deep
and active interest manifested in all
the proceedings. The business of the
hotel and the bookstore has been
amply sustained. Mt. Hermon school
opened it's fall term with an enrolment
much greater than ever before. Every
thing indicates uninterrupted success
for the Seminary.
These are all surface indications of
highly favorable character. But
the real ground for encouragement
lies in the fact that the heads Of the
several departments of work see in
the developments of the summer as
sured ground for belief that this in
terest and success have a solid basis
of permanency. 1t was felt that the
first years after D. l.. Moody's death
would be years of test and trial. At
the end of the second season since
that event it is seen, from the disposi-
tion to give money for present needs
and for permanent endowment, from
the increasing tendency to secure and
build places of residence at Northfield
for regular summer use, and from the
general spirit that marks the attitude
of visitors, that the Norhfield work is
expected and understood to be per-
manent institution, with broadening
development in the years to come. 1t
is felt especially, not only that no mis-
take was made, but in fact that it was
the wisest choice possible, in placing
Rev g. Campbell Morgan and Rev. F,
B. Meyer at the front as exponents OF
this work.
These are all facts which we are
glad to put on record, and which will
give pleasure to everybody in this
section of the Connecticut valley.

Where "oueen Quality" Shoes Are
Made.

The Thomas G. Plant company of Bos-
ton, makers of the Queen Quality"
shoes, have recently reduced, voluntarily,
the working day of their employees, 1000
in number, from nine hours to eight
hours, with no decrease in pay. Only
two years ago this company made a re-
duction of working hours from ten hours
to nine, and the result of the experiment
convinced the management that by the
adoption of special methods In their
specially equipped factory this further
reduction could be made with advantage
both TO the company and its employees.

large factory is very perfect, not only
In mechanical but in sanitary appliances,

MONEY IN THE MILK.

There.

There was a much-hurried woman at
o certain annual church ting the
other afternoon. 1t is customary at
such functions TO serve supper after
the routine proceedings, and this lady
was in charge of one of the tables.
She had brought her silverware, milk
pitcher and other table necessaries,
and of course wore her most pleasant
afternoon tea" smile. Along toward
the usual supper hour she was obliged
TO go home to prepare her husbands
evening meal. Then it was, finding
that she needed sonnet thing at the
grocery, that she missed her purse
from it's accustomed place on the pam
try shelf. She searched high and low
without result, and was about TO con-
clude that daylight burglars had made
a call during her absence, when her
husband quietly suggested that when
she returned to the church il would be
advisable for her to look through her
belongings there, says the Detroit
Free Press.
"You probably left 1t in the sugar
bowl" he said.
Nonsense" replied the disturbed
housewife; 81 never do such ridiculous
things as that"
The husband retorted that il would
do no harm to look, and his surmise
proved to be correct. When the wife
returned to the scene OF festivities,
one of the participants, who had just
drained the milk pitcher, was some
what startled to see an alligator
skinned object roll out. She gave a
half-suppressed scream and jumped
from her seat in alarm. Then Mrs. x.
identified her purse, and the converse
ton drifted 10 the odd things that
