His Free Library.

A Main street secondhand book
store was the scene of an amusing lit
tie comedy the other day. A ragged
urchin, who had crept in unnoticed
pulled Il dog cared book with a gilded
title of love and adventure from the
rack and, after lingering it for mo-
ment. became Immediately absorbed in
the thrilling tale.
When the bookseller caught sight of
his impecunious visitor, his first inn
pulse was to chase the boy away On
second thought, however, he left the
youthful reader to his pleasure At
length the time for closing came
around. and the old man set about
boiling the shutters.
The noise awolle the urchin from his
dream. He lingeringly closed the book
and, siding up to the proprietor, asked
with all the assurance of his gutter
training, Say, mister. what time dyer
open termorrer?"- Hartford Telegram.

BEAUTY.

Beauty was born of the worlds desire
For the wandering water, the wandering mo:
Under the arch of her hurrying feet
She has trodden world full Of bittersweet.
The blood of the violet is in her veins;
Her pulse has the passion of April rains
Out OF the heart Of satin flower
God made her eyelids in one sweet hour.
Out OF the wind he made her feet
That they might be lovely and Turing and feet;
Out OF cloud he wove her hair
Heavy and black with the rain held there.
What is her name? There's none that knows
Mother of Mischief or Mouth of Rose.
What is her pathway? None may tell,
But it climbs to heaven, and it dips to hell.
The garment on her is mist and fire.
Anger and sorrow and hearts DESIRE
Her forehead jewels an amethyst;
The garland to her is love in a mist.
Her girdle is of the beryl stone,
And one dark rose for her flower has grown
Filled to the brim with the strength of the sun
passionate rose. and only one.
The bird in her breast sings all day long
wonderful, wistful, whispering song;
The song that is of all passing things,
None knows it-wingless or born with wings.

The P|ONIDQD'S Inheritance.

h Hawthorne and laburnums were in
flower when John Constable presented
himself at Brookland farm and asked
to see Farmer Willoughby
Father is down in the fields He will
not be back before H." said beautiful
Dora Wiloughby, who had responded to
his knock.
Constable took seat upon chair near
the open door.
a narrow passage separated the kitch-
Ell from the cool dairy where Dora was
working. From Constable's position by
the kitchen door she could be seen as she
fitted about but as if this were not
enough, he arose when she began to make
Z the butter into pats, with the pretense of
examining the print.
II am we'll acquainted with that pat
tern" he said, but did not know who
made the butter"
81 suppose you have seen it in the
dairies and markets" she went on.
There is a great demand for our butter.
We could sell three times as much if we
had it to sell. I"
He learned that she was the eldest of
six children: that. on account of her
mothers delicate health, most of the
housekeeping duties fell to her share,
and he was sure that they were all done
faithfully and well, and that she was the
life and soul of Brookland farm.
We have just lost our plowman," she
said at length. Poor Joe Summers! He
died last week, and father is looking for
some one to take his place"
$50 l heard.' said Constable 81 came
to see about the situation
''You. But you don't look like plow-
man." said Dora
Don't - said he. ""rhen what do |
look like?''
Like a gentleman" she answered.
Il am Il plownlan nevertheless.
II think ! hear fathers footstep," she
murmured, turning hastily to glance into
the farmyard. "You have not had long to
wait"
And thus, for two young hearts the
heavens were opened. and each humble
task became sloriied in the light of love
for Constable and Dora had fallen sim
ply and deeply in love with each other
and theirs was the faith that would with
stand all trials and shocks.
Day by day it was strengthened by
slight services and mutual help, and its
growth was silent and unsupported by
the family, who would have discounte
nanced an attachment between their pre-
cious Dora and a common laborer.
For the Willoughbys We're of II proud
old yeoman race, and they counted OH
giving their daughter, with an ample
dover, to one of the wealthy young farm
ers of the neighborhood.
How John Constable worked under heI
eyes may be imagined. Early and late
wherever hand was required. there was
he, ever ready. ever willing.
Little by little Willoughby came to de
pend upon him and to intrust the more
important labors of the farm to his super
intendence, and before Constable had
been six months in his service he had re
solved to retain him at any cost.
One afternoon Constable was holding {;
refractory COW which Dora was milking
and he noticed that the face he loved
looked perpleNed and troubled.

trial world and almost daily contact
with labor since have been a man of
business.
In my business connection It so
happens that | have been engaged in
that class which has necessitatcd the
employment of large number Of la
horcrs. In 1874 it happened for the
lirst time that | had direct dealing
With Il national labor organizations
That was the year the National Bitu-
Hinous Coal Miners Association of
lie United States was formed. | re-
member the incident when the prcsi-
dent Of that organization and its secre-
iary called upon me in my office. 1t
was year which followed long and
disastrous strike In Il section Of the
mining districts of Ohio.
They came to me with a proposition
that something ought TO and might be
accomplished to do away with the dis
nstrous strike, and by way of argument
they read to me their constitution and
bylaws. ! said to them: Gentlemen if
you mean what you have said in those
articles / am with you. If it is your
purpose and determination to lay the
foundation for a better understanding
between capital and labor, | will give
You my hearty cooperation
And, having become convinced that
there was sincerity in their purpose, !
Immediately took up the operators
side Of the question, and in 4 short
time we had an operators organization,
committee appointed from each, to
whom We're to be referred all differ
enccs and difficulties to be settled by
arbitration.
Arbitration settled All Troubles.
During the life of that labor organi-
2ation all troubles and differences
We're settled by arbitration. That in
eldent made me an advocate In favor
Of organized labor
And from that day until today |
lave been believer that at some time
that sentiment might dominate and the
results from it would be what | have
always dreamed of and hoped for.
From that day until today have never
ceased in my individual capacity to
work to secure those results. During
those years | have seen and been in
contact with many differences between
capital and labor. / have studied the
proposition from every standpoint, new
er abandoning the hope, as | saw from
appearances on both sides near ap.
proach to a better understanding
And in this presence and in the interest
which | see-manifested by those here
today believe the day is near at hand
To say that / am interested in it Is
TO put it very mildly, and although
did not intend that that sentiment
should have the publicity which youi
president has given it-and perhaps il
may seem a little egotistical to have
mentioned 1t In that connection-I re
ulilrm the sentiments by the statement
mat | stand ready and willing ant
anxious to give the best that is In M
Wlile life remains to accomplish thi,
purpose.
sincerely believe that the oppor
unity Is now ripe, and from such ex
ptesslons as we have heard from Blsh

MUTUAL AGREEMENT is NEAR.

ohio senator Says He Has Met Only
Fair Minded Men In Labor 0rgani-
cations - A Permanent Arbitration
Committee Soon 10 he In Existence.
New York, Dec. 17.--Harmony and
good will were the keynotes of the
speeches delivered yesterday at the
conference between capital and labor
under the auspices of the National
Civic federation. Men who have thou.
sands of their fellow beings in their
employ and men who are laboring for
others met to discuss the problems of
cancellation, to give and to receive adj
vice.
oscar s. Straus, former United
States minister TO Turkey, presided.
Among those who spoke were MIR.
Straus, Charles NJ. schwab, Bishop
Potter, Senator Hanna and Archbishop
Ireland. The most notable speech was
that Of Senator Hanna
Charles NJ Schwab declared emphat-
ically that he was opposed to labor pr-
ganlzations as they existed today, but
said that lie was open to conviction.
Senator Hanna was revelation to
the labor men, who had believed him
ali opponent of trades unonism. He
cvinccd so hearty and enthusiastic
sympathy by his words and manner
tnat the greatest applause came from
men who had hitherto supposed him
their enemy. Before mentioning the
senator's name Mr.. Straus read this
extract from newspaper interview
with Mr.. Hanna:
senator Ianna's Ambition.
II would rather have the credit Of
making successful the movement to
bring labor and capital into closer re-
lutions OF confidence and reliance than

disputes impossible. | would do so

his feet and admitted that the quota
