"The Lightning Lunch"

Nondon Truth)
A Chicago man rattles ahead at pace
At which a mere Londoner reels,
And, in proof Of his taste
For an ill-advised haste,
Has habit of rushing his meals
He esteems it bad form and old-fogyish,
too,
To sit down at table and MUNICH;
In Chicago, you know,
It is quite cOmme-tl-faut
To go in for the Lightning Lunch"
There is nothing more chic,
Nor more Yankee-ly slick"
Than and up-to-date Lightning Lunch!"
Their soup in the form Of a capsule they
bolt
Their fish course they suck from quill;
Concentrated beefsteak
They're enabled to take
In the shape of rather large pill;
Mutton chops are condensed into waters
with ease,
There is nothing to chew or to crunch;
And a lozenge completes,
If they're anxious for sweets,
What's comprised in Lightning
And they're able to boast,
In minute at most,
They can tackle the Lightning Lunch"
None the less. let us hope that the plan
will not spread:
For whatever the Yankees may do,
We have not the least wish
To consume soup and fish
In the form of a pellet or two.
We should not be content with a tabloid
for tea,
Though the notion seems funny to
Punch,
And we firmly decline
Upon globules to dine,
Or to lozenges suck for our lunch.
If Chicago reveals
A desire for such meals,
Let her stick to her lightning Lunch"
There is not the leas, doubt that some
time may be saved
Where ones food is this way is OBJ
tanned
But, admitting It's SO,
We should much like to know
What is done with the leisure thus
gained,
Because. If it's spent in a sordid attempt
Further dollars together to bunch,
We can only dep1ore
Filthy Lucre" should score
At the cost of the maltreated lunch;
And shall do all we can
To keep under the ban
The cult OF the Lightning Lunchr'

CHILD LABOR SOUTH.

Nearly two pages of the New York Her
AIDS issue OF last Sunday are devoted to
showing up the ''iniquities" of child labor
in the mills of the South. That there are
grave evils connected with working chill
dren in the mills of the South is not to be
denied. but the conditions by no means
Justify the Herald's chapter Of horrors
For. as the Washington Post notes, not
Ions. ago the Chattanooga Times under
took an investigation of this subject, and
the result was much less starting IMAM
the Berald's picture. 1t showed, IN the
first place. that very few children under
IL years Of age were employed In the
Southern cotton mills; that most OF these
were so employed at the instance OF then
own parents, and not by the contrivance OF
the millers; that the proprietors, as
class, infinitely preferred to have them at
school, and in many cases actually erect
ed schools at their own expense for the
benefit of their employees children; final
Nv, the labor was not at all severe, and as
compared with neglected idleness, alto
gether preferable.
Further, it should also be noted that
good deal of the capital interested IN
Southern mills came to this section from
New England; that in various Southern
States efforts-in some Of them success
ful efforts-have been made by Southern
people to secure legislation that would
mitigate the child labor evil and that In
one State at least, reasonable bill look
ing to this end was defeated by the agents
of New Englanders, who had large inter
ests in the cotton manufacturing indus
try of that State.
The fact is that the Herald is behind
the procession in this matter. The dis
cussion of the question has been going
en- for some months, and it has been pref
ty conclusively shown that while the
conditions as to child labor in some
Southern milling sections are far from
what they should be. the responsibility
therefor lies largely on the North.

sion has not been advocated on parti-
san lines. II has claimed support from
both extremes among partisans. And
there is only the smallest possibility
that a bill of the sort at the coming ses-
sion would precipitate division on party
lines. Obstacles that have heretofore
prevented the final passage OF tariff
commission bills do not now exist me
limo is ripe. we have reached what
most men believe to be climax Of
commercial prosperity. This legislation
should cap It. No national election looms
TIP to disturb us.
We Imagine that most men would say
that it would still be practically impos-
siblc to keep such legislation divorced
from politics. and that this Will probably
continue to be the case until the mir
,ennium dawns.

THE PRESIDENTS WOUND.
Why the Second Operation Was Nee
essary-Its Effect.

cSSofy-ktS C1hcce.
New York Herald-Editorial0
The performance of a second operation
on President Roosevelt so soon after the
first one. which was said to promise 50
much, gives a somewhat new aspect 10
the case The natural inference is that
If the recent procedure was so necessary
why was it not instituted from the hrst.
The making of free incision upon the
affected part was comparatively simple
affair, and the exposure of the diseased
parts was not likely to be attended with
any special danger
Now we learn that the bone is slightly
affected" The latter statement may
mean much or little, depending upon the
degree and nature of this new feature.
A superficial injury of the bone con-
fined to it's covering may be easily treat
ed and no harm result. When, however.
this membrane takes on active inflam-
nation pus forms between 1t and the
bone and generally ends in death of the
bone to a greater or less extent. So far
there has been no report of suppuration
having occurred, and we may hope for
the best.
1t is quite certain that no risks are
being taken in this regard with an open
wound and free drainage. The aim is to
close the opening from the bottom by a
gradual process of healing. If the bone
is in healthy condition there will be no
difficulty In so doing. OF course, a
great deal must depend upon the consti-
tuition of the patient. and it goes without
the saying that there are no special
fears on that point. Still. no one can
be positive regarding the ultimate result
until the entire opening is completely
closed by healthy scar tissue. II any
portion of the bone should die healing
would be impossible unless the dead
tissue be first removed

The "PulIer-In."
New York Sum-,

Certain "puliers-in'' for some clothing
stores in Canal street have been arrested
at the instance of certain merchants. We
haven't heard much of the "pullers-in" for
some years. He used to be great char
acter, especially in Baxter street and
thereabouts; and his boldness and activ-
ity won reluctant praise even from per-
sons who couldn't approve his processes.
Along comes a man with no desire for
buying clothes. Five or six -"pullers-in"
fight for him. The strongest or most
skilful drags him in, makes him buy q
suit or pair of trousers, or pummels him
if he Is obstinate. The clothes are cheap
and whole skin is good to wear. The
wise victim of the ''puller-in" bought as
little as was necessary to secure his re.
lease, and avoided that part of the towr
ever afterward. It seems a curious way
OF selling goods and is a purchase b.
conquest. But the flow of language an6
the muscular readiness of the .'puller-in'
are admirable. He may be described a
a barker" who had rather fight thai

The ExaspcratinE Water Pipes.
(Phiiadelphia Record.)

.Some day." said a Mount Airy man,
II am going to write an exhaustive treat
Use on the perversity of inanimate things
I shall take the ground that the Evil One
assumes possession Of objects that nave
neither life nor power Of their own, and
endows them with supernatural gifts so
cunningly wrought as to quite circumvent
mere human intelligence. For example.
have been complaining to my landlord for
months about the water pipes In my
house. particularly those connected with
the bathroom. After the water has been
running and is then turned off the pipes
rumble and groan and rattle and shake
until the house fairly seems to tremble
on its foundations, while the noise is
almost deafening. After repeated appeals
to the landlord a plumber arrived on the
scene one morning last week while l was
at breakfast. He said he had come TO
locate the seat of trouble, and to make
any repairs that might seem necessary.
I was overjoyed 1 felt like grasping him
by the hand and inviting him to stay g
week. But curbed my enthusiasm and
began to turn on and Off the water. Not
a sound came. For nearly an hour
went over the house, trying to get some
noise out of those water pipes. There
wasn't even suspicion OF rattle. Inc
plumber went away firmly convinced that
was simply a crank. What was the re-
suit? He hadn't been out of the house an
hour before those cursed pipes were up
to their old tricks. and now they are

A FIRST EXPERIENCE.
Representative williams's Good
Story on Himself.

Story on Himself.
New York Tribune.)
Representative Williams. of Mississippi,
tells an amusing story Of the first time
he ever saw a white domestic servant.
He writes: IT was just out of the Univer-
sty of Virginia, and was going North OH
my way to Europe. The train stopped
twenty minutes for refreshments at Cen
tralia, Ill. Down toward the end OF the
table. in the dining-room, saw vacant
chair. and was about to seat myself, when
saw comely young woman standlns
close by. OF course, I would not be SO
rude as to take seat when lady was
standing, so I politely asked her 10 be
seated and withdrew. l went around 10
the other side of the table, where there
was one more empty chair. | was about
to take that, when noticed another
young woman standing beside me- Again
bowed and requested that she be seated,
remarking that I was not very hungry
and could wait. BY this time l realized
that I was attracting some attention, but
l could not account for it, and wondered
if the borish crowd were laughing at
my manners Just then a big Hoos!er
caught hold of my coat-tails and said:
Say, buddie, where do you come from,
anyway?' I was beginning to get bit
angry. and replied, rather sharply, that !:
was from Mississippi. I thought So, he
said. Now sit down and eat. The girl
is a waitress, and is standing there to
serve YOU 1 sat down. but I was Sc
much astonished an embarrassed that
did not enjoy the meal"
