The Case Was Entirely different.

"Papa," asked the little boy, do you
remember the first money you ever
earnedE"
Yes" said papa; "lt was a nice,
new, shiny aye-cent piece that old Mr..
Gregg, the grocer, gave me for doing
about a quarters worth of work in
carrying n load Of potatoes into his
cellar. l worked all Saturday after
noon to earn that nickel, and when
he paid me ran three blocks home,
tired as l was, TO show it."
"And did you put it in your little
bank?' asked the little boy.
''No; got fathers permission to
spend it just as pleased. However,
l kept it for three or four days, just
to have the satisfaction of having
money Of my own earned by my own
eXertions And If l could have bought
all the things l thought of buying with
that nickel would have had about
ten dollars worth of books, toys, mar
bles and what not. Finally l made
up my mind. What do you think !
bought"
II am sure can't guess" said the
little boy. What did you buy, papa?"
Il went to the bakery and bought
custard pie"
why, papal And you said grand,
ma always had custard pie at home
and let you have slice Of 1t as soon
as you got home from school,,
Yes, l used to get a slice, but not
a whole pie, and she never let me eat
it the way l wanted to. SO went
TO the bakery and bought my pie and
borrowed a spoon from the baker, and
ate all the custard and left the crust.
l never had anything taste so good in
all my life"
You never allow me to eat custard
pie that way papa said the little
boy.
"Oh. That's different" said papa

An East Indian paper reports a case
Of automatic justice. Five natives
broke into a gunpowder factory and
stole three bags of gunpowder. The
wlsest of them remembered that the
last time he had made a similar at
tempt, the bags which he had stolen
had turned out TO contain only dust,
specially prepared for the benefit of
intending burglars. They set to work
to test the gunpowder, and one Of
them removed a handful from a bag
to what seemed a safe distance and
set it alight, not noticing that he had
dropped an unbrOken train Of gunpow-
der as he carried Il along. The result
OF his action was that three charrod
corpses ana two skinned individuals
was all that the civil authorities had
left at the disposal Of justice.

A German Custom Imported From I,
Fatherland.


German sentiment expresses itself
in many odd forms-none perhaps is
more characteristic than preserving
flowers. The process is applied to
floral decorations at funerals, bridal
bouquets, christening bouquets and
lovers keepsakes New York is one
of the largest German cities in the
world. and the practice has been
brought over here from the yaterland.
At least ten or twelve fower-prcsery.
ers are to be found in various parts OF
the city, all Of whom have remuner.
atye business. The process employed
is more or less a secret and, Judging
from the finished products, varies. In
some, the leaves and flowers seem to
be crystallized. in others to be coated
with some preparation resembling
wax or plrafiin, while in a third there
has been apparently a desiccation, fol-
lowed by the injection OF some fluid
into the veins of the plant stems. The
work demands considerable skill and
the prices charged are quite high.
ranging from 81 to $40 for a wreath,
garland or bouquet. Funeral gifts are
usually mounted on background of
white silk or satin and framed in a
deep frame and covered with glass.
Sometimes the silk is laid fiat on a
small round, oval, or square table and
covered with a glass globe Engage
ment and bridal bouquets are mounted
in the latter fashion, while lovers
keepsakes are usually arranged in
small jewel case Many Americans
have followed the example of their
German fellow citizens but it must be
confessed with smaller display of
good taste. According TO the flower
preservers their American patrons de-
sire their blossoms crystallized until
they glitter like a wreath Of diamonds
This is especially the case whenNmong
the blossoms are such more expensive
types as the camellia and orchid.
Flowers properly preserved will last
for many years, They undergo Il slow
shrlvelling from the drying ont of tho
moisture, and bleaching from the
effect Of the sunlight At the end of

UP GOES COAL.

According to the State Journal, the people
of Topeka awoke, the other morning, and
found that the price Of coal had advanced fifty
cents ton during the night. They couldn't
account for it, and concluded that the local
dealers had put up a job on the people. In
vestigation, however, proved that this was not
the case, but that the advance was made by the
coal trust, and that the dealers, also, had to
pay the increased price.
Will some apologist for the trusts please give
sensible reason why this advance was made?
Isn't it fact that no good reason can be given?
The wages of the miners have not advanced.
No advance has been made in the rates of trans
portation, to the trust. Coal is mined just as
cheapy now as it was before the advance. The
fact is, the only reason that can be given is
that the trust wants to make more money. No
sensible person will offer any other reason.
Say! How would it do for the government

tine means of transportation Do you think
the prices would then advance?

Millionaire Steel Man Scores Trusts.

From the New York World
Orrin W. Potter, the Chicago millionaire and
former president of the Illinois Steel Company,
has declared against trusts. Mr.. Potter does not
call himself Socialist, but his views on the re-
lations of capitalists and wage workers border
on Socialism.
Mr.. Potter's two daughters, Gertrude Potter
Daniels and Margaret Horton Potter, are known
as the authors of several books, and in some OF
these productions the Socialist spirit has been
given such prominence as to arouse comment
among those who know Of the family. Mr..
Potter said:
81 resigned as president of the Illinois Steel
Company when it entered trust. Trusts are
inimical to the rights of the laboring man.
81 cannot consistently hold position which,
would force me to put Into execution measures
of which my conscience cannot approve.

Fighting Concessions to Cuba.

Chicago Record Herald.
Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa, has set him
self squarely against tariff concessions to Cuba.
He speaks primarily for the beetsugar interests,
but, having committed himself on that ground,
appeals to the tobacco interests for sympathy.
Neither of these interests cares anything about
the other, but each breads the competition Of
great Cuban export, and we find them now in
very natural combination
There Is, however, no way in which we
could help Cuba so much as by a reduction of
the sugar and tobacco duties, and if the people
who agree with Mr.. Hepburn carry out their
policies unimpeded, the country will be in
very bad dilemma, morally. II has refused
Cuba complete liberty, and it has shown dis
result in free trade. 1t prefers to keep hold
on the island which puts 1t completely at its
mercy.
Meantime, it has been making loud profess
sions of humanitarianism toward Cuba, and
has emphasized their hollowness by striking
contrast between its treatment of that country
and Hawaii Hawaii, which has mrcl,
smaller proportion of whites in its population
than Cuba, and much larger proportion OF
Chinese and Japanese coolies, is admitted to
the full rights of an American territory and
given free market for its sugar.
We are certainly not taking the course to
make the Cubans love us, but perhaps that does
not matter so long as the commercial interests
are taken care of. 1t would seem, however,
that If we have nothing TO propose for the
islanders further betterment, we should lot
keep them dangling to US by chain.

ed from the pulpit, OH the Sunday after the
assassination, that mob ought to attack the
Jail, batter down its walls, take ont the prisoner
and hang him, they were aiding, abetting, en-
couraging and endorsing anarchy. They were
advising the people to attack, and perhaps kill,
the officers of the law. They were advising
criminal act. They were endorsing an act
which did not differ in principle from the crime
of the assassin.
How can we expect the ignorant and unin.
formed-the men who know practically nothing
about our government and its principles-to
show respect for that government, and refrain
from assaults upon it, when the cultured and
intelligent publicly urge people to violate the
laws and make assaults upon public officials?

Widespread Anarchy.
ew Era Snringfield, Ohio.

New Era, Springfield, Ohio.
Using the term anarchy" in its popular
sense-that Of disregard of, or opposition to,
law and government-there exists in this coun-
try to-day, and has existed for long time,
widespread condition OF anarchy, and it is and
has been encouraged and abetted by many men
in high political and social positions
Mob law, which has been so prevalent, is
Simply anarchy in this sense-it is defiance of
law and of government.
When mob attempts to take prisoner from
the hands of the authorities, when it batters
down the doors of Jail, or drags criminal
from the hands of the officers that is direct
assault upon the government.
When the crowd at Buffalo attempted to take
the assassin from the officers who had charge of
him, they were making an assault upon the
government, and were anarchists.

MEAT SCARS, TOO.

The price of meat continues to 60 up, and,
at the present rate of advancement, it will soon
be entirely out of reach of the laborng man,
who needs it most. New York meat-market
men say they can no longer sell meat at profit,
because the people are unable to pay the ad-
vanced price. Many dealers have gone out of
business, and many more will be compelled to
quit. They say the "big four"-the large
packers-are alone to blame for the advanced
prices. The poor people of the large cities are
sure to suffer on account OF lack of meat.
1t wouldn't do for the people of the country
to cooperate and furnish their own meats at
cost, would it? That would be "anarchistic, ="
wouldn't it?
When will the people stop and thiuk?
