HE crime Of the century," as a brave dip1o-

wonder it, after all, the world was treated to a

the same Nicholas IT,, who called Europe to stop
before the cataclysm burst upon the peoples, is
at this moment insulting free country with a

The Business Man in Literature

BY SAMUEL GROSS,
Capitalist
dCyrano
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-07-04

The mass is active. When Hanna filled the
dinner. pail of the laborer how little did he
dream of the effect, on the mind, of full
stomach.
The laboring men are beginning to find out
that there is something loose about Carnegie's
three legged stool. "Labor, Capital, Business
Ability" have rolled under the tongue of Car
uepie as a sweet morse until the mergers have
really come to lhink they "the Lords an
nointed," and Of Divine appointment.
Carnegie's three-legged stool is hoax, and
laboring people are finding it out. An idiot
ought to know that tie people who have the
intelligence to create have enough intelligence
to distribute. Is it not fact that the common
sense of the people engaged in creative indus
| tries is superior to that of other classes?
Inferiority is ascribed to the man of superior
accomplishments.
All inventors were laboring men. Laboing
men net-worked our country with railroads,
| and laboring men operate the roads. Laboring
men erected the telegraph lines, and transmit
the messages. Laboring men designed and
constructed the yachts and palaces Of the mil
lionaire. 1t is the engineering skill, cool head

and strong arm of the laboring miner who
brings to earth's surface the hidden treasures of
the Almighty Being; that transforms iron into
machinery and coal into steam. Laboring men
feed and clothe the world with devotion and
Intelligence that is worthy of every comfort
that can be bestowed upon man.
The fabric of mans existence is upon one-
legged stool, and that one leg is labor. Edu-
cation, art, science, commerce, civilization,
1eligion-all rest upon labor. No mind with
out body, and no body without food; and the
better the body is cared for, the better the
mind. Short rations, rags and filth produce
death, and death leads to determination. Suf
fcient food and comfortable surroundings lead
to health, and health to mind, and mind to
power-advancement.
When the "mass'' is inert, the throne of
Justice is too far removed from the ''inass" for
beneficial results.
Activity is the "lever OF Archimedes."
Thank the Lord that the miners, street-car
men, teamsters, carpenters, moulders, weavers,
eugineess, conductors, brakemen-everybody
who earns his bread in the sweat of his face
are beginning to pry with the lever of Archim.

SENATOR BURTON has franked half car
load of Republican documents from Washing
ton to Topeka for distribution. District
Attorney Dean will superintend their disfribu-
ton. They pertain to the Philippines, the
ship subsidy, election of senators by direct
vote of the people, and agricultural statistics.
Topeka Herald.
Exactly! Half carload of documents by
mail, free. And no doubt every senator and
ongressman-especially the Republicans-will
send as much, or more. STILL the postal deficit
is laid at the door of the newspapers of the
country. If the senators and members of con-
gress were compelled to restrict their franking
privilege to legitimate uses, and the railroads
were paid only just and equitable rate for
carrying the mails, there would be no deficit
But, then, some day, Uncle Sam will own the
railroads, and then all this will be changed
Public documents will not be sent out over the
country for political purposes, and the railroads
will not receive three or four prices for carrying
the mails. The postal department can then be
made source of revenue, or postal rates will
be greatly reduced.

| No strikes in India or China. In those coun-
tries, the three-legged stool works to charm,
but one man can accumulate more wealth in
lifetime on Carnegie's three-legged stool than
in India or China in FIVE generations. The
inert "mass" in America is wonderful in pro-
duction, but slow in appropriation.
Literally, the laboring man took 'no thought
for the morrow" If the laboring mans wages
bought to-day's food and paid too day S rent, the
the morrow take care Of itself when ''men of
great intellect and no scruples are against the
justice of the millions"?
There are but two men, at most, on the Car
negie stool-"the one man" and "the mass"
The one man moved-moved on congress and
leeislatures-moved on the bench and on the
executive-searched the law offices for ''men of
great intellect and no scruples" s"-bought up
the press and flooded the country with lies.
Through the men of "great intellect and no
scruples," government erected a throne-the
throne of greed and wealth. Avarice reigned,
and does reign, from the Atlantic to the Pacific;
from the gulf to the great lakes.
Labor is in the grasp Of the wickedest SOW
ereign that ever cursed the human race. To-
day, it is being discovered that the full dinner.
pail is only part full. Homes for the homeless
are an empty dream, No great advancement
along the lines of civilization. The one man
has sampled the dinner-pails of the mass de-
stroyed the title deed to homes, held up devel-
opment with gold-shotted guns. Hurrah for the
union labor men Hurrah for the ''lever of
Archmides'! Let the mass move, and Justice
will again rule and Righteousness will again be
exalted in larger degree for the mass.
Justice, instead of sitting must come down
from its lofty throne. The "mass" must use
its brain as we'll as its muscles Let the mass"
speak-speak through the struggling, friendly
newspapers, through its leaders, through the
pulpit, if the pulpit will only take up the
cause of the oppressed! The mass must also
act, not alone in labor unions and oranges, but
at the ballot.box. Labor unions and strikes
exasperate the Zone man" do not weaken him.
Backed by government, he is as secure as he
olden kings of ''dvne right
Surely, the intellect has not all been monop-
olized Iy the man of no sciuples. Justice can
not fail to respond if the millions invoke its
aid and its power. If the government can be
used in creating billionaires it can be used in
creating happy homes. 1t can be used in de-
veloping mind and morals as we'll as merchan-
dse--in creating grand men and women, as
we'll as palaces aud paupers.
Again say, hurrah for the labor unions,
strikes and the lever of Archimedes!

CABINET.
Richly Ornamental with Burnt Wood
Designed and ColOred to Suit
Owners Fancy.

Among the farmer folk of Norway
much OF the time that they are forced
to spend indoors during the long win
ter season is utilized in wood carving.
They make a great variety of small
boxes, drinking vessels and pals of
white wood. These they decorate
with the sharp point of a hot poker,
making excellent designs of conven-
tional character.
The hot point burns a line of rich
brown in the white wood, making real
ly beautiful objects of the utensils of
everyday life.
Many drinking-bowls are painted in
the strong primary %co]ors; vermillion
serves as the first background color,
on which lines of green or blue accent
the curves and rim of the vessel, and
an inscription in which letters warns
the partaker that Both mead and
beer make red cheeks, but l will I'd.

Rec,pe. for Furntture Po1,.h.

The polishing of furniture seems to
be Of comparatively modern date. The
effect is that a hard-faced surface is
secured, which is not so liable to be-
come scratched as vanished, and
which presents equally as brilliant
and fine appearance. There are sew
eral pastes and polishes used, a few
of which are herewith given: A good
furniture polish is made with one-half
an ounce of beeswax and a quarter
unces of white wax, half an ounce of
ed together until the wax is well col
ored; then add half a gill each Of raw
linseed oil and spirits of turpentine;
strain through muslin. A polishing
paste is made as follows: Take three
onuces of white wax, half an ounce of
CASTLE soap, one gill spirits of turpen-
tine; shave the wax and soap very fine
and put the wax in the ~turpentine; let
the mixture stand "a hours; then boil
the soap in one gill of water AID add
to the wax and turpentine. This paste
is highly recommended by practical
men.

huge nursemaid, and she is a very sen
sible creature. She is so years of age
and weighs something like 5000
pounds. The baby is Master Evan
Healey, a bright 15-months-old young
ster, who betrays not the least fear in
the "hands" of his strange nurse. The
methods adopted by the elephant when
it wishes to give it's precious charge a
ride in its baby-carriage are certainly
unique. Sometimes it pushes the per-
ambulator along with it's trunk with
it's end on the ground, as cen in the IL
lustration; at others it will grasp the
handle with the tip of it's trunk, while
occasionally it will push the carriage
with one of its huge feet, guiding it at
the same time with it's trunk.

the bowl is a two-quart basin in capac-

Our illustration presents a cabinet
with decorations in typography and
color. Typography is another word
for burnt wood decoration.
During the festivals of Christmas
tide great bowls of beer are brewed,
and many quaint-shaped drinking
cups are set afoat in the beer for the
guests to help themselves. The wood
en- boats with carved meads which are
shown in the illustration are used for
this purpose. They are decorated in
color and form altogether unique
ornaments. Some objects of table
service in silver have handles and de-
signs in repousse and antique pattern.

ELABORATION THE U
NeEligee Attire Ii No Longer Char.
Hcterfzed by the Simplicity
of ByEOne Days.

Elaboration is increasing in negli-
gee ittire-indeed, it is almost essential
now to a satisfactory garment. Not
long ago everything but a compare
lively simple boudoir gown was
graded as 0 or less ~extravagant
tinery, according to it's degree of COM
pleNity, but now it is possible to
copy the costly ideas at comparative
ly small outlay, SO highly wrought
robes and jackets are the rule. A
potent aid in much of this copying is
the beauty and abundance of cotton
fabrics made in imitation of silk. The
mercerizing processes have brought
many handsome stuffs and practically
all the lighter ones have been made
available for house gowns, n%egligees
and the like, and while not a few of
these are worthy of really fine trim
mings, there is no end of inexpen-
sive garnitures that will set them off
nicely.
While garments composed in this
way may and do reflect the newest
styles, it is better to study fashions
in more costly materials. And that
is easy, for in the model gowns r
fine stuffs without end. In them
China silk, foulards and soft cloths
abound, especially for teagowns. AL
ternate bands of silk and lace inser-
ton compose many. Handsome
gowns of all-oyer white and beige en-
broidery are finished with rows of
tiny satin-ribbon ruf1es. Empire
styles predominant, and nearly all are
made with short elbow sleeves, beau
tifully finished with lace rufles and
ribbon bows. Gowns of transparent
cloths are appliqued with lace, lace
medallions, appliqued here and there
on the body of the gown being a fire.
quent finish. Black velvet ribbon often
is used as a finish. Figured lawns,
dimities and swisses are very pretty
and are as deliberately trimmed as
any.
White tea gowns are stylish and
are numerous in dainty lawns and
muslins, Valenciennes laces and inser-
tions trim many of these. Some are
made with Spanish founces, tucked
or trimmed with lace; others have
plain gathered ruf1es, headed with
embroidered beading, with delicate
colored ribbons run through. The
handsome teagown pictured here was
made with a Spanish lounce and was
white Persian lawn, white lace and
white satin ribbon. Often the tea
gown in empire style, more or less
distinct, has handsome garniture in
bolero effect. This feature is to be
found in the most expensive grade of
negligee dresses, a point worth re-
Numbering, since it is a finish that
can be reproduced cheaply with COM
plete success.-Chicago Daily News.
