The Quiet Man in the Corner

From the Los Angeles Herald.
l fingered Ger a checker game a
night or two ago;
The one who played against me seemed
to have no ghost of show;
L had bunch OF lusty kings that
strutted all about
And bullied my opponents men, who
dared not venture out.
Way over in a corner shrunk a timid
little man.
Who staid right in his station ever
since the game began
He watched my crowned heads march,
ing by with banner and with
song,
And seemed to be discouraged over
standing still so long.
But pretty soon an opening occurred
two blocks away
And not another moment did that lit
tie fellow stay.
He bounded DER the board and took
three kings in one fell swoop.
Then landed in my king-row with n
wild, eostatic whoop.
You've known these quiet fellows that
just sat around and thought
And never made a noise while the
others ragged and fought:
The whole community had come 10
think OF them as dead,
Or else so very near il that their hope
OF fame had fed.
The chaps with recognition for their
portion pose and strut,
But some day. when most every one
Is looking t'other way,
This quiet fellow sees chance 10
break into the play
lie reaches out and grabs things that
the other had ignored
lie puts into the iife-gnme al the en-.
crEy he'd stored
Through 400 the years OF silence. So
you'd better not forget
The hi3i man in fhr corner for he'll
feaeh the kinG yet

being an inveterate poacher.

Congress is to, be petitioned at its
next session to prohibit the removal Of
the Liberty Bell from it's resting place
in Independence Hall, Philadelphia. 1t
is not clear that Congress has any au-
thOrity over the Liberty Bell, but some
of the W. C. T. U. workers of Pennsyl-
vania, assuming that it has such pow
er, have started the movement to petit
ton Congress. They say that whenever
the bell is taken away on a junket, to
some exposition or fair. it is accom-
panied by city officials who make the
occasion one for consuming large
amounts Of intoxicants, at an enormous
expense of money. and morals. We be-
lieve 1t was alleged. at the time the
bell was carried TO Charleston, that a
bar was arranged in one of the cars of
the special train and that string Of
empty bottles and cigar boxes marked
the progress of the train from Phila-
delphia to Charleston. The train
passed through Savannah, and, if our
memory serves us right, the gentlemen
accompanying the bell to safes uard it
from all danger sang for the first time
in this city popular Philadelphia song
the refrain of which was, What the
h do we care!"

A queer murder case is before the
court of Grayson county, Virginia.
Jeff Pierce is under indictment for kill
ing Mrs. Stone. 1t seems from the ev-
idence that Pierce fired his gun at
partridge. Mrs. Stone was standing
near. Neither was aware of the pres
ence of the other. Mrs. Stone was
not struck, but the noise of the gun
so badly frightened her that she took
to her bed and died. Nevertheless,
Pierce was indicted for murder.

1t was published in some of the New
York papers the other morning that
one of the reasons why Speaker Hen
derson declined a denomination for
Congress was that the Democrats had
determined to make an attack upon
his personality and habits, and that
his career was being sifted for mate
rial for the attack. Chairman Griggs
of the Democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee has wired the
Speaker that there is not a
word of truth in the re-
port, in so far as his committee is con-
cerned. There is probably no word of
truth in it so far as any Democrat is
concerned. 1t is not necessary for the
Democracy to attack the private life
of any Republican leader. The poll
cies of the party and the public acts
of the leaders are sufficiently Yulner-
able for all practical purposes.

A year ago Miss Elizabeth Dickinson,
of New York, Joined the Mormon
church. Twelve months of the doctrine
was enough for her, and she is now
once again a Congregationalist. Miss
Dickinson said she believed in INNER
marriages, but qualified the latter
statement by adding that only souls
which were pure enough should at
tempt polygamy. Every few" she said,
"are possessed of such grace that they
can love several people the same, and,
therefore. it is best not to practice
poIygamy at all"

George AIDE, the Slang Carpenter, has
gone, into fpolitics. He will .endeavor
to Work his Graft in Chicago. He
does not propose to Speak Pieces just
at the present time, but will sit on
the platform and Look Wise Later he
may hand out some choice Bunches of
Hot Air, but for the present he will
initiate the owl. AIDE isn't looking for
any special Office at the moment, but
should there come a Hand-out in his
direction he would see that 1t didn't
escape his Ice Hooks. In view of this
announcement, which comes straight
apparently, ii must be that the rumor
to the effect that he had been invited
by Prof. f. Benjamin Andrews to ac-
cept the Chair of Modern Slang at
the University OF Nebraska is an error.

BRITISH AND AMERICAN WORK
MEN.

The committee of the British Iron
Trades Association which spent some
time recently in this country investi-
eating the labor situation, especially
as regards the wages and efficiency of
workmen, has made an interesting re-
port to its principal The report finds
that American labor is at once the
dearest and the cheapest in the world;
dearest in that the wages paid are the
highest and cheapest in that the men
achieve a greater amount of results.
1t has been supposed, enormously, that
the American workman works harder
than the British. The committee finds
that in America the men do not work
so hard as in England. "They have to
be more attentive in guiding operations
and quick in manipulating levers and
similarly easy work. They are also
much more DESTROYS of getting out
large quantities than in England. They
are better paid and more regular in
their attendance at the works, loss of
time through drinking habits or other
wise being not tolerated"
The committee found in the steel
manufactures men drawing $12 per
day and men drawing $3.50 per day
working side by side. AS rule the
high priced men were Americans,
while the cheapest labor was supplied
by foreigners-Poles, Hungarians or
Slavs. The average of pay in the
American steel plants was found to be
about 1895 per year, this including all
classes of labor, against an average of
1895 paid in English plants for similar
labor; yet while the American received
more than twice as much wages, his
productions were relatively cheaper
than those of the English workman,
owing to his quickness, willingness and
use of labor saving machinery.
Too much stress, however, is
not to be placed on the la
bor-saving machinery. The hui
man factor is the main item. Says
the report: '1t is not the guns which
win the battles, but the men who stand
behind them" And so in this matter;
1t is not the machines that win in the
industrial fight but the men who
handle them.
1t is alleged that one of the causes
that has initiated against the eff
cheney of the British workman is
trades unionism. The unions of Great
Britain have sought to put all workers
upon common level; they have en-
deavored to keep men out of trades,
and instead of increasing production
per man, to limit it to the lowest pos
sible figure. They have sought to get
as much as possible and to give back
in return the minimum of value. The
result has been in England cheap
wages and high cost of production.

LearnioqtO L Swim

The value of swimming as an exer-
else has been proved by some of the
mOst f. mou. athletes, and the mastery
Of this acc, mplisbment, moreover. may
some day mean the saving of human
lite. That boys and girls should be
taught to swim admits of no argument.
AS 1t is, the maj rity Of children fear
the water. and much of this fear is due
to the misguided anxiety of theiI
parents. The trouble with beginners is
that they make too much of the task
provided the effort is made the slig htest
muscular exertIon will suffice to keep
one afioat. How readily one may Ieal n

by expert in the art, who describes
the various strokes, fl pats, diving, Coz
