The Cosmopolitan.

Fourteen noted writer's were sent by
The cosmopolitan Magazine to the Pan
American Exposition to study the most
interesting features with a view to pre-
pairing the most beautiful souvenir OF any
Exposition ever made, from both liter
airy and an artistic standpoint. To "Mr.
Dooley" was committed the case of the
Midway. Judge Robert Grant went from
Boston to give a bird's-eye view Of the
Expos ton in his own most delightful
style. Albert Shaw and Nicholas Murray
Butler studied the value OF the EXPOSE
ton, and it's educational influence.
Charles Y. Turner, to whom was COM
milted the color-scheme of the Pam
American, explains the methods by which
he has produced such marvellous results.
Arthur Brisbane, in his own incompara-
bic way, takes the Incubator Baby and
Niagara Falls for his subject. Director
General Buchanan contributes a very
interesting paper on the organization Of
the Exposition. Professor Pupin, Col.

CHARGED With Brutal Assault.

Joseph La Chance, young man about
81 years OF age, had hearing before
Judge Pearson Monday on charge Of
criminal assault on Grace Hembling,
the seven-year-old daughter Of S. ID,
Hemblirg, and was held in $500 bail to
answer in the superior court.
The little girl was sent to spring
near the Hembling residence on the
hill, near the High school, for water,
and while there was assaulted by man,
whom she identified as La Chance. The
girls mother also identified the defend
ant as the man she saw leaving the Vi
cinity OF the spring hurridly about the
time OF the assault.
The defense attempted to prove an
alibi. Two witnesses swore he was
chopping wood with his brother-in-law
the entire day OF the assault, and, ii SO,
could not have been at the spring.
Judge Pearson thought the testimony
sufficient to bind him over to the super
ior court, and $500 bail was given for
his appearance.

AMONG THE MAGAZINES
The Issue In the Steel Strike.

The issue on which strike was ordered
through which 10000 men are idle, of
whom about one-third belong to the
organization ordering it, as the strike is
the work of skilled labor alone, is, as so
steadily happens in recent American
strikes, not on wages or hours. Both
com batants agree on these. The issue,
as viewed by the managers OF the capital
engaged, is whether collective shall be
substituted for individual bargaining
without the consent of the owners of
the mill.
The just answer is that the case was
one for compromise either such as was
offered by the corporation, or one that
could be arranged Neither combatant
had right to insist on an extreme posi-
ton, and it bodies i'll for collective bar
gaining that it's supporters sought to
make it exclusive. If any great industry
is to be both efficient and stable, if it is
both to advance and to satisfy the aver
age, it is necessary that mills for both
ends be represented in the industry.
There must be mills in which initiative
is free, maximum output encouraged,
and the rise of unskilled labor to share
in higher priced jobs facilitated. Unless
such mills exist, progress stops or is
checked, as it has been in England under
the unchecked rule of the union. Such
mills are as necessary to society as to
capital. But it is also just as necessary
to society and to labor that mills shall
exist where the organized average can
have recognition for collective bargain
which shall regulate, define and deter
mine the average scale and standard OF
wages and hours. Unless this exist,
capital too is sure in the end to suffer
from a general conviction that it has
usurped both ends of the bargain. I'M
rest will come, order will not be pre-
served, secret unions will have all the
drawbacks and none of the manifold adj

American in the duties but not in the

Fashions for the Stout.

The general run OF fashion plates are
the despair Of those women whom nature
has decreed for stoutness, or whom time
has showed with gray hair. Many fash
ion cuts show an impossible sylph-like
form of women everlastingly youthful.
The Delineator, whose long career OF
success shows that it meets the needs OF
women, contains in the September num-
Der special article, carefully illustrated
and devoted to the attire OF stout and

practical, useful advice about fabrics and
quantities, will be appreciated by those
who are neither slim nor under twenty

Why She Wns Mad.

One morning, in kindergarten, a
wee mite of womanhood had been
trying to attract the teacher by every
resource of which she was capable,
without directly saying she had
something to tell. Finally, the young
girl went over and sat beside her,
whereupon little Rachel flounced her
skirts, puckered up her forehead,
and, clinching her hand, exclaimed:
"Oh, dear, but I'm mad" The teach
er was surprised, for Rachel had
seemed to be laboring under a de-
lightful secret. "And why is little
Miss Sunshine angry?" asked the in
structor. SWELL, everybody was mad

The woman has pet pugdog, which

noticed that this animal had found a
snug place to sleep behind hat rack
in the paTlor hall, and when she re-
moved the rack to dust it she found
the missing bank books and deeds.
There was no trace of the money.

tried to seize them. The police are
of the opinion that the dog has eaten
