THE LABOR QUESTION.

New York, Jan 30.-Gilbert Parker, the English author and member of parliament, said, before sailing for home on the St Paul: "One of the ob- jects of my visit here was to look into the labor question for parliament" In my opinion the American workman is more enterprising than the English. The American workingman welcomes machinery, while the English working man has not come up to that yet"

In all OF that splendid showing Of plans

reflections of a Bachelor Girl.

Most men look at a pretty girl as II she
had been porn expressly on their account.
Men are not nearly as wise as women
let them think they are.
A man can earn $4,000 a year, and yet
he has to marry some little woman with
81 a week spending money just to make
himself comfortable.
II all men were wise all women would
seem sensible.
Most men divide women into two classes
Atheir mothers and sisters and all other
women.
1t is surprising how much most men don't
know about babies.
A man generally reforms on account OF
some woman, and then takes all the credit
to himself.
Women don't idealize men. for they nevei
have a chance to.
The average man meets more than hil
match In the average woman.

at one time, the only p~roviso being that the
borrowers must pay the express charges
both ways and return the photographs in
good condition, and that the club must
be a patron of the State Federation.
AS a rule new clubs or those wishing
to take up the study OF art have written
to Mrs. Keysor, who has been in charge
of the collection, and asked for illustra-
lions best suited for that work. These
have been sent, and it not infrequently &C.
ours that helpful literature or outlines
or programs accompany them.
Now that there is no federation library,
the collection is still held at the disposal
of the clubs of the State Federation. The
collection is practically complete, though
1t does not include the illustrations OF
American Art, the subject of the depart
ment's last years study. These illustra-
lions were not added owing to the heavy
expense Of securing them.
Requests are often made for parts OF
the collection to be used for exhibition
purposes, and while It is always gladly
loaned, the department feels that it's pic
lures are hardly suitable for such pur-
poses, being of a size intended for study
work.
In all the years that the portfolios have
been sent about, none of the pictures
have ever been lost or suffered undue wear.
Sixteen OF the portfolios are cabinet-sized
photographs. mounted upon a cardboard
1Ox12 inches, while one is composed Of
photographs 12x16 inches on well pro-
portioned mounts. Each portfolio is kept
In a neat linen anvas envelope, which,
when shipped. is wrapped in paper, and the
express rarely exceeds from rs to 40 cents
The collection, as revised, includes two
portfolios of EARLY Italian Masters" one
Of Michael Angelo and Correggio;" one
Of Raphael" one each OF Venetian. Span
ish, French, Dutch and German masters
one of the Gothic cathedrals Of England
and France; one of the later Italian
masters; one Of ancient architecture and
sculpture; two of Gothic architecture and
two Of modern sculpture.
II often occurs that a portfolio Is re-
tanned by g class during the entire clut
year, but as long as there is no otheI
call for that collection, the department IL
glad to have 1t in use.
The collection has been put in charge
Of Miss Ethelwynne Kennedy, secretary
of the Art department Of the Omaha
Woman's club. and she will attend to Its
circulation in future.

DEACON CHALL IN TROUBLE
Charged with InterCepting Mail While
Assistant Postmaster.
THOUSAND DOLLAR BOND HOLDS HIM
Letters Held sack a to Have Con-
tanned Drafts Against Assist
tant Postmaster, Who il
Also a Merchant.

August Chall of %Saronville, Neb., has
been held to the federal grand jury on
charges of having Intercepted letters ad-
dressed to the Farmers State bank Of his
town. The letters are said to have con-
tained collections on Chall. The scheme
got August into trouble eventually, because
he, It is alleged, extended his interference
to include personal mail from the cashier
Of the bank and his own chief, John w.
Israelson. who was postmaster.
Chall Is a church deacon and a prominent
man in his town. When he received a
polite and carefully yelled invitation from
Postof1ce Inspector d. j. Sinclair to come
to Omaha and have a talk on the matter,
August said that he would be glad TO
come, but must attend a meeting Of the
trustees of the church on Thursday night,
so could not leave Saronville till Friday.
yesterday he walked into the ONCE of
Mr.. Sinclair by appointment at l o'clock
and was cordially received. Then he was
taken upstairs, where United States Com
missioner Anderson sat at a desk and
read to him a complaint. charging him with
various offenses against the laws regulat-
ing the treatment OF mail matter. Chall
listened wide-eyed and was then requested
to give $1,000 bonds for his freedom till
the assembling of the next grand Jury.
This he did and went back to Saronville
marveling at the ways Of Uncle Sam.
Israelson was instrumental In discovering
the actions Of his deputy, who had held that
position for eight years.. The bank cashier
did not tanker for the active duties Of post
master, so let Chall put the once in his
store and attend TO 1t. Later Chall began
to tamper with Israelson's mail, II is al
legged. Besides stopping letters to Israel
sons bank containing collections on him
self, 1t is said. Chall held out a letter
mailed by Ishaelson to the Columbia Fire

Portfolios Recently Revised.
When the Federation library was merged
into the State Travelling Library commits
sion a year ago this collection was not in
cluded. 1t being the property Of the Art de-
partment Of the Omaha Woman's club, and
within the last week it has been entirely
revised by Mrs. W. ". Keysor, some of the
portfolios combined and others rearranged,
until the collection now numbers seventeen
portfolios, including 500 photographs. Four
new portfolios have been added also, in
GLIDING three new subjects.
The collection was started in 1898, when
the department was organized, and has been
added to each year since. Realizing the
fruitlessness Of studying art without illus
~trations the department determined not only
to secure these helps, but to make their
collection the very best that could be had,
and as a result the portfolios are far SUI
perior to the average. Not only are photo
graphs all made from the originals. but
they are most exhaustive of each subject.
For example, Aniens Cathedral is illus
trated by fifteen photographs in which the
art and structural principles OF the build
ing are fully illustrated, while the average
collection OF photographs or slides. even
those generally considered most complete,
do not exceed two or three Illustrations
these limited illustrations being entirely in
adequate for effective student work.
The same principle Of completeness is
carried out In the photographs OF sculp-
ture and paintings. Cellini's famous
statue OF Perseus being illustrated by six
photographs, In which the details of the
finely wrought pedestal are shown in addi-
ton to the statue itself.
AS the plan of the department has been
progressive so far, 1t was decided to loan
the portfolios on subjects that had been
finished to other clubs. that the benefits
OF the collection might be extended, and
accordingly they were sent out over the
state to clubs desiring them.

quently the cashier wrote four more such
missives, but not one ever reached the IRE
insurance company.
This aroused the suspicious Of the post
master, but he was 10th to move In the
matter and 1t was Chall who brought about
his own arrest by taking an innocent vaca-
ton a week ago. During his absence POST
master Israelson visited the postofice and
found there a lot OF letters addressed TO
him, some opened, and many Of old dates.

In the recent disaster at Martinique the
