A Girl Grocer.

A Girl Grocer.
Mary Elizabeth Evans, II years old,
has right to be proud of herself. She
is not grocer's girl. but girl grocer.
Began business one year ago. Original
capital, one hundred dollars. Twelve
months net profits, besides mainten-
ance for family of four. one thousand
dollars. Makes a CONNECTION that has
captured the community taste and
brings 60 cents a pound. Her sister,
Fannie, IL years Of age, has popular
lied cake of her own making, and
is securing more orders than can be
filled. Business sagacity Is not a mas
culine monopoly. Many a grocery clerk
who fancies it is would have failed
where this girl grocer succeeded.
Nerve, tact, push, and that foresight
which anticipates public wants charac
terizes her course. Let the trouser-
wearing grocery clerk investigate HIM
self If he discovers qualities like
those named he had better start out
for himself as soon as possible, for
fat business, a prosperous career, and
plenty of shekels await him.-Ameri-
can Grocer.

Slide down old Full Yama's dome.
And see the geishas in their home,
Some day.
You will go to Egypt, see the Sphinx,

You will climb the Pyramids, me-

Sail up the vast, mysterious Nile,
Shoot at the festive crocodile,
And kodak everything the while.

To Italy's classic shores you'll HE,

See Naples Bay and refuse to die,
Some day.
Along the tourists usual grove,
Entranced, with dreamful eyes, you'll
move,
See old Pompeii and climb Vesoov,
Some day.
You'll do old Rome and the Holy Land,
Some day.
Pick shells on India's coral strand,
Some day.
Explore the islands of the ocean,
With naught to stay your locomotion,
Wherever you may take the notion,
Some day.
All, trusting brother. you will find,
Some day,
You've done this only in your mind,
Some day.
But when life's journeys over, and
On Jordan's stormy banks you stand,
Maybe you'll see the Promised Land,
Some day.

| Here is an extract from the message
of President Roosevelt, that may be
commended alike to those who think
organization of labor bad thing and
those who think that organization, law
or anything else can supplant individ-
ual effort: "The most vital problem
with which this country, and for that
matter the whole civilized world, has
to deal is the problem which has for
one side the betterment Of social con-
dtions, moral and physical, in large
cities, and for another side the effort
questions which we group together
when we speak of labor. The chief
factor in the success of each man
wage-worker, farmer, and capitalist
alike-must be the sum total Of his
own individual qualities and abilities.
Second only to this comes the power
of acting in combination or associa-
ton with others. Very great good has
been and will be accomplished by as
sociations or unions of wage-workers
when managed with forethought and
when they combine insistence upon
their own rights with law-abiding re-
spect for the rights Of others. The
display of these qualities in such bodies
is duty to the nation no less than to
the associations themselves. Finally
there must also in many cases be ac-
ton by the government in order to
safeguard the rights and interests of
all. Under our constitution there is
much more scope for such action by
the state and the municipality than by
the nation. But on points such as
those touched on above the national
government can act. When all is said
and done, the rule Of brotherhood re-
mains as the indispensable prerequisite
to success in the kind of national life
for which we strive. Each man must
work for himself, and unless he so
works no outside help can avail him.
But each man must remember also
that he is indeed his brothers keeper,
and that while no man who refuses to
walk can be carried with advantage to
himself or any one else, yet that each
at times needs to have the helping
hand outstretched to him. To be per-
manently effective aid must always
take the form Of helping man to help
himself, and we can all best help our
selves by joining together in the work
that is Of common interest to ALL

Injustice VIII Not Down.

In undertaking to stifle discussion
of the wrong done to Rear Admiral
Schley the president is embarking
upon a very hazardous course. When
the French government found that a
mistake had been made in the con-
domination of Captain Dreyfus the
whole power of official and military
discipline was applied to hush up the
scandal. 1t was conceived that "the
honor of the army required that a
shameful miscarriage of justice should
not be discussed. But the scandal
would not down. The attempts at sup
preston only gave force to the inev-
liable explosion, which overthrow the
ministry and threatened the integrity
Of the republic.

The Declaration Out of Date.

The declaration of independence is
probably sneered at by new-fashioned
Americans who stride up and down
the earth while they assume to decide
whether this or that people. struggling
to be free, are fit or unfit for self-gov-
ernment Nevertheless it is docu-
ment which continues to command re-
spect in some quarters. That old char
ter of liberty is supposed to have laid
down the principle that all men are
free and equal before the law and that
no man nor race was good enough to
govern other men or races.

Japan without Factory Laws.

Factory laws have as yet no exist
ence in Japan. No law regulates the
conditions of labor or the hours of
labor, and the youngest child may be
employed in their factories without
the state taking any steps to watch
over or to protect them. The employer
is sole master in his own house; and
though many Of them do not abuse
their power, still, there are some fac
tories in which the workers are ex-
plotted without mercy. In their haste
to be rich, in their feverish anxiety to
profit by the abnormal industrial &C.
tivity, many employers seem to forget
that their "hands" are human beings.
In order to compete, others have to
follow their example; hence they, too,
have to exploit the labor of little chill
dren who ought to be playing in the
sunshine, and to keep their hands"
at work during whole days and nights.
Hitherto the governing classes have
manifested no desire to promote, or
even willingness to sanction, any leg
islation that would tend to benefit the
industrial masses, who themselves
have no voice in the government, and
as yet no means of making known
their needs, their desires. and theiy
aspirations. There are, however, many
signs that the more thoughtful more
ethical and more progressive amongst
the educated Japanese have already re-
allied the necessity for some change
that will tend to secure to the masses

A Temptation to Extravasanco.

When millions are piled up in the
treasury in excess of all necessities it
means that thrift is being retarded to
great extent and that much money
is unjustly withdrawn from the chan
nels of trade, investment and self-sup-
port. Furthermore, it means that con-
gress is sure to be tempted to make
big log-rolling appropriations for prof.
ects of little or no merit, on the easy
come, easy go" principle, which is just
as pernicious in national as in indi-
vidual finances.

Herr Bebel's phrase, hunger duties"
for the proposed new German tariffs
on foodstuffs fits them and ought to
lead to their condemnation. AS Bebel
said, the tariff would mean a tax levy
of more than 600, 1000, 900 marks-and in
Germany mark is to the masses of
the people almost as valuable as dol
lar is in this country. And the levy
would be upon the poor and upon the
bread of the poor. Herr Bebel's elo-
quent outburst was the warning of a
patriot, and its superheated portions
do not impair the stern facts and saw
age consequences he presented.
Herr Bebels phrase seems only hap
by now. 1t may become grimly his
toric.

To the man who works for stated
wages on salary, which is not increased
when money is plentiful and prices
high. the general prosperity is really
detrimental, because he gets no more
than he did when the necessaries of
life were low, but has to pay more for
everything he buys. This is one Of the
inconvenience Of generally prosper
Gus condition of the country at large,
which works hardship in individual
cases, but does not alter the conditions

years, with no small success.

Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote
have a most honorable ambition II
they are seeking to settle all the ques-
lions in dispute between this country
and Great Britain, with reference to
Canada. The most serious question is
that of the Alaskan boundary. Practi-
cal agreement, as we understand, was
reached by the joint high commission
on all other questions. But our British
friends wished everything settled or
everything left open, and as the COM
mission could not get together on the
Alaskan boundary, its deliberations
were indefinitely postponed. Perhaps
now settlement will be more easily at
tanned. This country has whatever
rights Russia possessed. 1t would seem
that it ought not to be impossible tc
determine what those rights were.
Lame excuses for suicide continue

members of the printers craft, died
recently at the Union Printers Home

old age, the deceased being 81. Mr..
Eckert was the first member admitted
to the home at the time of its opening
ten years ago. He came from the Phil
adelphia union and was worthy and
respected member. He had the dis
tinction of being one of the original
founders Of the Typographical UnioE
of North America in 1852, and always
had been one of the strongest and most
upright members.

1t is a safe assertion that in ma.
jority of the cities of this country
there are more officials than there is
any need for. New offices are created
for the purpose of making places for
those who have political claims on the
party or faction in power, or Of taking
care of friends of political leaders, and
it is seldom that these offices are aboS
ished when the party that created
them goes out of power. 1t 10 an easy
matter to create offices, but it is diff
cult to abolish them.

A Test of Sincerity.

The Republican party, both in its
platforms and through newspapers,
processes anxiety to curb the rapacity
of the trusts. If these professions
have been sincere it can hardly refuse
to repeal tariff duties which have no
other purpose than to buttress these
combines. They may still use the old
arguments about the need of protec.
ton against foreign competition in
some lines of industry, but not in the
case of those which are underselling
foreigners on their own ground.
