To the Editor:
Dear Sir-As YOU have treated the
policemen fairly In the recent cOntrO.
vcrsy over their protective association
and the request Of the patrolmcn for
an increase of salary, ! hope you Will
find space In your columns for Il few
words from u Woodworking police office
regarding recent occurrence which
bears somewhat on the matters In Qties.
ton. The incident ! refer to is reported
In the Chronicle Of yesterday tFeb. 40
rs follows:
"Will | stand for q cut OF $1,000 II
year In my salaryI' Mayor Harrison
said yesterday. "Ycs, II every other
city cmployc does, hut not before" The
department estimates cut down tho
Mayors office allowance Sl,tGW, and
Secretary Lahlif Is wondering where
the sum Is to he saved
Now In your last edition yOu show
that Mayor Harrison's actual salary
amounts TO over $S1 u day. This salary
is very largely in excess OF the amount
paid To any of the predecessors OF the
present Mayor. II was Increased dur
Ing the term Of the present Mayor, and
there Is no record OF his having ever
vetoed it. And yet the Mayor files into
a white heat because the poor patrol
mon ask for small increase to theil
little salaries. The eighty-dollnr-a
month man must submit to Il reduction
or lay of without pay whenever there
Is u shortage OF public funds, but thu

shudders ut the bare mention of cut II

In lNrls a gentleman who is very
fond Of tine paintings bought FOR 1900
francs a work entitled ''The Bride OF
Abydos" and was cougratulating him
self on becoming It's posscssor when be
suddenly remembered that his wife
dlsllked very much 90 sec him spend
his money In this manner.
How can avoid a scener he asked
himself. II / say that the painting
cost 1900 francs, there win De an
awful time. and NO Ia better say 1000.
No; III say 1000"
By this time he had reached home,
and when he saw his wife he told her
unblushmrly that be had Just secured
u beautiful work OF art Tor the nomt.
nal sum Of 1900 francs. At this good
news she seemed more disconnected
than pleased. but said nothing, and
the painting was hung up,
Next day the gentleman was Obliged
to 20 20 the south OF France, and when
he returned after a weeks absence
his wife met him with a beamlng coun-
tenancc and said: Eve done a good
stroke OF business while you were
away. You know that painting you

Hugh Clswell, the popular lInemln Il

Appropriate Cookery,

"Your majesty" said the cook of the
king of the Cannibal islands, "how will
you have the latest captive prepared p"
81 always like to cook my game in
some way appropriate to their ma
tional characteristics" replied the
king. "Of what nation is the captive ?"
He is an Irishman, your majesty.
Is it your pleasure that he be done
into an Irish stew?"
"oh, no. You may make soup Of
him"
'..But is that characteristic of the
Irish, your majesty?" asked the chief
politely.
Certainly it is. That is the way they
cook young men themselves in Ire
land.
Il beg your pardon, sire, but never
heard of it,"
"That, my dear sir, is because you
have not had so much time to read as
have read. I, sir, have often met, in
my reading about Irishmen, with the
expression, broth of boy."-Phila-

Machinery and Wages.

The effect of machinery on wages is
well exemplified by the following fig
ures: At one time in the United States
a roller in a rail mill, rolling iron or
steel rails, received about Is cents per
ton, turning out from rs to 100 tons
per turn. To-day in some of the mod
ern steel-rail mills, less than one cent
per ton is paid for doing the same
work, and yet by the end of the year
the roller in the rail mill can make as
much money as he did under the old
method of working. At one time IS
cents per ton was paid for heating iron
for making iron rails. To-day,
through the use of the improved meth
eds, very little more than one-half cent
per ton is paid for doing the same
work, and yet the wages received are
better than they were at that earlier
time.
