SUNDAY, DEC. Is. 1901.

An instructive and encouraging article
from the pen of Mr.. H. P. Han is printed
elsewhere in today's issue of T h e
Globe. 1t deals briefly but con1pre-
hensiyely with the jobbing and manu-
featuring business of st. Paul for the
Year now closing. Mr.. Hall is SO well
known that the fact that the article is
from his pen is all the certificate needed
of its character. He is an authority on
matters treated of in the article. His po-
sition as secretary of the Jobbers' union
affords opportunity to get the infornra-
ton from the most reliable sources, and
his long and brilliant career as a news
paper man enables Kim to put the. matter
together in an attractive manner Every
reader of today's paper should make it a
point to give especial attention to Mr..
Halls article.

Wagging his stump of a tail, the brindle
purp trotted quietly along behind his
master He was just a common cur,
honely enough to make a string of pug
dog bells jingle out of tune, but there
was a mean locking overhang above his
left eye that told of biooded ancestors.
The master had noticed the overhang5
when he assumed ownership of the purp
and was willing to pay for q license tag.
The master stopped near the postoff1ce
to exchange greetings with an old friend.
The purp with the mean looking eye trot-
ted over to the curbstoEe and squatted
down ON his launches 10 wait patiently
until the march should be resumed Once
the purp yawned and two white rows OF
rasty looking bone crushers stood out
against a red background.
While the master and the friend cen
versed a coal wagon was sighted DIT
SKI. and Wabasha. In front of the coal
wagon tretted- one of the fieroest looking
bulldogs allowed to run without a Hluzzle.
The bride plrp saw the bulldog, but
his master was stiI1 busy in front of
him and dirty demanded that he wat for
his master.
The coal wagon was in the lead when
Fifth street WAS reached. The fierce
looking baEvog rad stopped to growl at
the window cf a cIlepheuse.
Hey, there shout I'd the driver of the

the master Of the brindle purp. "You had d
better git yer bow-wew out Of sight before
my bulP comes up or there'll be a dorg
funeral
The brinale purp continued to wag his
stump of a tail.
sasHey. your shouted the driver a sec
ond time. This is no kid. Me dorg will
chew the life eatzof your brute if yer
don't git him off the street quick
Well. you need not get excited about
that drawled the master of the brindle
purp as he. broke off his conversation
with the friend. Where is your bull
anyway"
Here he comes right now, shouted the
driver of the coal wagon, land you'll

rs your dog fighter?" asked the own
er of the sbrindle purp.
You Jest bet he is, an it's too late
now cause he is goin' to mix with yer
dorg right now
The driver of the coal wagon spoke the
truth. The fierce looking bull had heard
the shouts from the coal wagon and here
he was coming up on the jump. He look
ed at his master and saw the coal man
staring at the brindle purp.. The bull
read that look to mean go after him, and
he started on the jump for the purp on
The CuTDSIcue.
All this time the brindle purp just
wagged his tail. and the latter never
novel. True, "a big tear appeared at
the corner of that left eye and the tear
rolled out and down his nose, but he sat
still and waited
1t looked like a plain case of dog mur-
der when suddenly the master of tie
brindle purp raised his hand.
go after him, Terror" was the only
order issued, but that one order was
enough; for Terror sidestepped and then
as the bull rushed by he lunged through
the air and snapped those two rows of
bone crushers. The teeth were buried
deep in the neck of the coal mans dog,
and Terror did not intend to let go.
Over and over the two brutes rolled
but it was all one sided. The bull snap
ped his jaws again and again, but he
never closed them on any part of the
brindle's anatomy. All the while Terror
kept grinding away with those bone
cruShers.
For five minutes the fight waged and
then the coal man threw the sponge into
the ring. II givesup,'' he said; TRY and
help me save my dDrg.'
The owner of the brindle purp whistled
a peculiar whistle, and the coal man
grabbed the hind legs of the bull. Terror
let go his hold and backed up, but the
bull was too far gone to make a move.
The coal man picked his dog up in his
arms and lifted him to the coal wagon.
The master of the brindle purp resumed
his interrupted conversation and the Pc
destrians coming around the corner only
saw a honely cur with a mean overhang
above his left eye sitting on his launches
waiting patiently for his master.

ly,'' that. in order to be entertaining, it
is necessary to be good. On the con-
trary, indeed. However, I was referring
to a mental state rather than a moral
state of mind anyway. And apropos of
breakfasts, have any of you ever noticed
how red ones nose is apt to be at break
fast? I don't suppose there is anything
in the world that has the same effect on
a woman's frame of mind as the color
of her nose When it is nice and whito
she feels stately and aristocratic and is
glad to remember that her grandfather
was somebody. When it has just sus-
picion of pink to humanize the white
provided, of course, the color in the
cheeks matches it-she feels frivolous.
But if it S red, an uncompromising home

cross and is incapable of overlooking
trif1es. And it must be difficult for man
to be nice to a woman whose nose is
red"
L have little philosophy of my own
concerning meals, said the Poster Girl,
who agrees with Gibson that it's permis-
sible to put ones elbows on the table.
B breakfasts are OF necessity impersonal
affairs. 1t is at this meal alone that it
is proper to eat simply to live. One
should breakfast alone or with people to
whom one is perfectly Indifferent.
Luncheons. although they are necessarily
light, gay, frivolous affairs are deserving
of more attention. One should lunch
with ones friends and the conversation
may be frivolous, but it is the unwise
woman who wastes her bon mots on
luncheon for no men should be present
at this meal l do not mean tot infer
that my own sex cannot appreciate bon
mot On the contrary. But it is always
an impersonaI appreciation that one
woman gives another's pretty frock or
witty saving, and what woman has ever
been satisfied with impersonal apprecia-
ton?
Dinner, however is an entirely differ
ent affair. One must dine with those one

Babblings Of q
Bachelor Girl.

Ones opinions wSbble so nowadays -
said Nine. Sarah Grand the other night
in Minneapolis during the course of her
lecture on Mere Man
Certainly one of the Bachelor Girls
opinions wobbled frightfully when she
gaZed on the creator of .sThe Heavenly
Twins, and of that impossible .'Babs' .
Confidentially, she expected to see long,
lean woman clad in a curyeless green
blue frock, with quantity of wispy
bronze hair done low over green blue
eyes. 1t seems rather unfair for woman
to crowd between the covers of her book
all the faseinatingly unconventional
things one would do oneself if one
didn't have relations, and then come out
of her literary seclusion and face her
expectant public clad in conventional
black and white frock, her head coiffed
in conventional coiffure
But it was the lecture itself that made
the Bachelor Girls opinion wobble most
if there can be degrees of wobbling Now,
certainly, nobody can accuse Sarah Grand
of writing her books to point a moral
There was not the vestige of a moral
in '.The Heavenly Twins" that is, not
one that could apply to the general pub
lie, although the literary public might
have discovered one for itself And
Babs-welL her worst enemy could not
accuse Babs of having such a thing as
a moral concealed any place about her.
But with the. lecture it was different.
There was a moral, an aggravating. i'm
pertinent. get-aroundabIe moral to
it. And the moral was tackled on to the
end of a goodslittle talk that was a cross
between a woman suffra gist's address
and a Box editorial. The lecture had
been memorized- d-perceptibly memorized.
Babs certainly would never have mem
orized anything. Occasionally. however,
flashes of Babs' irreverence broke rough
ly through the conventional veil that
made the lecturer-novelist seem like one
of her own esoterie heroines Bostenized

A discussion of Sarah Grand natural
ly leads to a discussion of matrimonial
problems, and it was apropos of the lat
ter that5 at a little supper which fol-
lowed the Grand lecture, the Chaperon
made the following remark:

pensively into her glass. that more di-
vorces result from breakfasts than from

No one responded. In fact, the remark
so obviously requires an explanation that

one.

The published reports of the conviction
of the president of the Federation Of
Labor of Porto Rico and certain of~his
associates of conspiracy to- raise the
price. of labor on the island present to
view a state. of facts which gives the ordi-s
nary. person. additional reason to wonder
what .tlle real political status of that isl
and Isl with reference TO the United
States. ~
The alleged crime for which Mr.
Iglesias has been ordered imprisoned for
upward of three years seems to have
consisted in uniting with the other mem
bers of his organization, in securing an IN.
crease in wages. The occasion OF taking
the steps whatever they were in that
behalf seems to have been when the cur
rency of the island was being changed,
from a basis of the pesos to that of the
dollar as dictated by our constitution and
laws. According to the report these men
did nothing more than any other dealers
in a commercial commodity; they took
steps to get the largest possible equiva-
lent in dollars for the commodity they
had to market, such equivalent being es-
timated in. dollars rather than in the
pesos as before. They Were convicted
commission of this offense.
The explanation is offered of the con
viction of these men that it was acc3m-
plsned under the operation of Spanish
laws; and Mr.. Gompers is represented
as inveighing very bitterly against the
Spanish code because it could have EN-
bodied any such provision. Mr.. Gonapers
is quite right in his animadversien on
the Spanish code; but he seems to miss
the point American authority has pre-
vailed on the island of Porto Rico for a
considerable period of time. The inhab-
States for protection in their rights and

as an extraordinary circumstance that
after such lapse of time standards of

1t is not many months since num-

utterly barbarous manner because they

fensible under any state of society what

to show that the cigarmakers of Tampa

1t is a shame and wrong that code

time in Porto Rico as to render such III

forestry in North Dakota. 1t provides
that the government shall donate 10000
acres of land for the purpose. The state
has already inaugurated the school at

aside a tract of land for it. The senator
also offered q bill aprpopriating s20e. 300
