"No, sir. On the contrary, 1t took
him q year to die. He was out West

"On snow, l suppose"
"And how could he write you a let

HE used quill teothpick and blood
from his arm"

Gentlemen. l trust you will excuse

Many good things can be said OF
Japan and Japanese, but nothing re-
fleets more credit upon that people than
the fact that profanity is vice entire
ly unknown among them. In answer
to an inquiry on this subject. the Ram s
Horn gives this interesting informa-
ton: Very high and competent au-
thority asserts that it is true. A writer
in the Evangelist asserts that there is
in the japanese language no word that
is equivalent to an oath. Not only is
there no native word In which profanity
may take refuge, but there is no import
ed word During the last ten years
foreigners have added thousands OF
new words to the language; but not one
profane word. In this respect Japan is
believed to stand alone among the ma

A gentleman who had been intrenched
behind newspaper in crowded car
happened to look out of the tail of his
eye and to see lady standing whom he
knew.
He rose and was about to offer the
lady his seat when colored man, who
thought he was vacating his seat, slip
ped into it.
"Look here" said the riser. Il was
going to give that seat to this lady"
The colored man instantly arose with
a profound bow.
'Suttinly, sah," he said, "I'm some
thing of a lady's man myself, sah."

these costumes will be worn during the

BLESSINGS OF WORK.

Employment Of Some Kind Is Neces-
sary to Enjoyment of Happiness.
One of the peculiar features of life is
that the man or woman who suddenly
becomes idle at once begins to think
about death and worry about the grave
II isn't feeling confined to any one
class of society 1t is almost universal
1t isn't pleasant feeling, for every
healthy person is apt to think about
death as thing of the future-some-
thing to be faced sometime but not now
When person physically healthy
commences to brood over a grave and
a coffin his whole disposition changes
The sun may. shine for some, but no.
for him. He is morbid, gloomy, blue
There is only one panacea for that
mental i'll, says the Cleveland Press.
1t is work.
The man who labors energetically
with mind or muscle has no time fol
brooding about graveyards.
He must play his part in the game oi
life, and happy is he who is allowed
to labor up to the very minute that the
grim specter raps at his door.
Of course, people are lazy. Most o1
us were born so, but how few people
did work ever kill, and what an army
has been destroyed by idleness!
Wear out, but don't rust out. Labor
necessarily at something. 1t is good
for the body, good for the mind and
good for the conscience. People who
loaf through life are seldom happy

mankind.

Shall thousand men submit to the rule
Of one, in operating street cars or pack
Ing house or a factory? II you will
stop a moment to consider you will find
monarchy In industry and democracy in
politics, Incompatible. For if majority
have right to make laws. then they
have the right to make any laws they
please They can make and unmake con-
stitutions, statutes and regulations. II
they have this right. then the majority
can make laws that will give them the
control of the Industries, and permit the
people who work in them to make the
regulations governing them. If they
have not this right, then q majority
cannot control the law-making power
and have no right to control. II there
are any laws. no matter what, that the
majority cannot make, then who can
make or unmake such laws? 1t is this
conflict that is coming. 1t will never
be still until 1t does come, and it is set
tied. 1t will be up for all time until the
majority does rule, not only in politics,
but in industry When the majority,
who are wageworkers, realize the con-
fict, they will make short work of the
capitalistic system. They do not yet
see the vital point and right in the mat
ter. The capitalists do, and are con-
stantly throwing more and more red
tape and difficulties about the ballot,
but the majority are waking up. Every
strike shows that the men forget their
party and church affiliations when they
meet the masters in a strike combat In
the next few years they will meet them
at the ballot boxes with their own men,
and men who want democracy in in
dustry, and THAT MAJORITY WILL
RULE. The masters may meet in con-
ventions and banquets, and resolve they
will not employ union men, and will run
their plants as they see At, but it will
be as so much wind. THE MINORITY
SHALL NOT RULE.

Baron Johann Faber, who died in
Nuremberg, Germany, recently, was
practically the founder of the celebrated
lead pencil factory carried on under
his name. When as a young man he
succeeded to his fathers business,
which turned out cheap pencils of an
inferior sort, he employed 20 hands
Now over 1000 men work at his dif-
ferent factories. Faber succeeded in
driving English-made pencils, at one
time in almost universal use, out Of
Germany.

CAPITAL
ITS ORIGIN AND ITS CURSE TO THE
MASSES.

When-a man like Rockefeller says:
Labor is indebted to capital for its
subsistence" he lies: and he knows he
lies, as Dr. Johnson used to say. Labor
creates its entire miserable wages and
every cents worth besides. Anyone
capable of reasoning can understand
this. Where was the capital to employ
the first laborer7 The laborer worked
and the loafer future capitalist, stood
by hungry and detected. After a time
he hunted up some pretty bright thing
or found samething that might be USE
full and traded 1t to the laborer. Such
articles became as money tokens. Ae
time passed and governments were
formed taxes we're imposed on laborers
to subsist the kings head men and idle
soldiers. Thus inequality began and
labor was made contemplate. Later
when money evolved cunning. men in.
duced rulers to adopt a metal that was
wasted and worn by circulation. This
gave the excuse for usury.
Why shall you not pay me for the use
of my bit of metal seeing it has lost
some weight in your service? That was
reasonable. But see how cunningly the
business was managed. A little later
the money lenders got the privilege OF
Issuing their own bills while they kept
their gold back in their bank vaults. In
our United States they were allowed to
Avo Ar11 ooh in,
on deposit. Then as people deposited
their own money bills with them they
were allowed to lend out two-thirds OF
such deposits. These bankers could
draw interest on a thousand dollars for
one dollar they owned. This is the
origin Of capital. 1t began in the mo-
nopoly of money and through that 1t
grew by monopolizing lands. railways,
telegraphs, mines and all public neces-
stiles. And now we are so stupid that
we meekly bow under this awful tyran-
ny where throne rests on lies and now
look with awe upon the sums of this
robbery of the labor Of the globe. As
that old Briton, ,Calgacus, in his i'm.
mortal speech reported by Tacitus In
Agricola said of the Romans, Robbers
of all this world they make q desert and
call it peace" so we can now in these
last days of monopoly rule exclaim:
Robbers of the whole globe they gaze
upon the stupendous plunder and call 1t
capital-upon the misery of all laboring
peoples and call it prosperity.-C1ark
Irvine In National Era.

brought her to her feet in alarm.
"Well?"
She asked the question in anxious
tones, as If realizing that life and
| death were in the balance. Then she
placed her ear to the mouthpiece.
| At first she could not make out the
words spoken by her invisible in
terlocutor. Then, gradually, they fell
upon her ear with terrible distinct
ness; and she stood spellbound, as in
ahorrible nightmare, with sudden ter
ror in her staring eyes, and with the
fearful sense of impotence in her trem-
bling limbs.
