Mother Jones Hobby.

Another tOXey army l. atoot IN the
East, with woman at its head-a
" Mother Jones"-posscssing all the
audacity and virility OF her male ut
would hardly be proper to say manly)
prototype. She claims to represent
the textile workers, and her objective
roint i not Washington, to camp on
the capitol steps, at the feet OF Con-
sress, but to invade Oyster Bay, and
meet the Presiden. in a face-to-iace
discussion. Mother Jones gathers
fame from martyrs crown, rs did
Coxev, and rs do all crusaders. and
seems to glory rs much over the SEN
sation she creates as did the phenom-
email tramp, who III years agonc, led
his cohorts on as visionary achieve
ments as did the crazy Spanish knight,
Don Quixote, and his devoted and
valiant Squire, Sancho Panza. AS
Mother Jones is sixty years o! age,
she should know better, from expert
ence and observation, it not from the
promptings of womanhood, which
should incite to higher and nobier
endeavor than to pose as champion
the rabble and invite criticism and
provode opposition, at times from
those she seeks to benefit.
Her object is to abolish child-labor
in workshops and factories, and she
seems to be impressed with the belief
that if she can but create acommotion
in the larger cities it will enable her
to approach the President with more
prestige than to steal quietly upon
him, and her appeal will enlist his
sympathies 60 strongly that child-Iabor
will be at once abolished. She has
with her three little boys for object
lessons, brands snatched from the
flames as it were, whose pinched fea-
lures and emaciated forms, she thinks,
will prove Irresistible augmentation
what? Aye, there is the rub. For
what?
The existence OF the evil is univer-
sally acknowledged. 1t needs no plea
nor example to demonstrate its hor-
rors. 1t requires no champion to pro-
claim its slaughter OF thousands of
innocent children whose frames are
racked till the soul departs, on the
wheel of labor. But what can the
President do to ameliora,e conditions?
Evidently Mother Jones thinks him
omnipotent. Undoubtedly she has
imbued that belief into the hundreds
who seek to make q public show;
which, contrary to their expectations,
impels a feeling of contempt rather
than of sympathy and support.
Mrs. Jones would not take no fol, an
answer in New York, and besieged
Mayor Low and Acting Police Com
missioner Ebstein all day before oh.
tanning q reluctant permission to pa.
rade Broadway and hold . mesting on
one of the smaller parks Of the city.
In fact, the authorities could End very
little to urge against the display, ex-
cept that its utter impotence and
ridiculousnen was likely to incite
lawlessness. The parade, with some
notifications Was. however, finally
permitted, and Mother Jones, doubt.
less inspired thereby, has announced
her determination Of marching on
Oyster Bay, although her request to
President Roosevelt for an appoint
ment has met 70 far with o dignified
silence. She. in her speeches, makes
the most of this, a. il TO enforce a
graciousness that does not como with
free will.

that two negroes became involved in

How to Plant Hyacinths.
From Country Life in America

From Country Life In America
First in importance among hardy bulbs
I should place the hyacnths. Much has
been written about putting them in posi-
ton in the bed and then covering them
with soil, putting sand under them, ETC.,
but in actual practice these slow and la
borious methods are not essential to sue
cess. If, however, the planter prefers to
follow the more laborious-and possibly
surer-method, then remove five or SIX
inches of the top soil and cover the sur
face of the soil where the bulbs are to be
set with an inch of sand. One advantage
of this method is that 1t enables the planter
to accurately place the bulbs in position
as to the depth and distance apart, so that
the effect at Towering time is more regular
as a whole than if planted with a dibber.
The layer of sand has its advantage, in
asmuch as it provides drainage at the base
Of the bulbs and minimizes the chances of
decay from contact with manure in the
soil and from water lodging Immediately
beneath them. The writer has seen good
beds of bulbs obtained by both methods,
but the last one described is possibly the
surer one.

The City Fence Must Go.

From Country Life in America.
The development of the modern city resi-
dence street requires the removal of front
fences. 1t was not so very long ago that
cattle were allowed to roam in the village
as they were in the country, and fences
come with cattle When cattle were re-
moved from the streets the fence did not
go. Persons had come to feel that fence
is as much a part Of any place walk
or a well is. It had come to be bound up
with the idea Of the home. The removal
Of stock was not sufficient reason for the
removal of the fence. At best this reason
was only negative. The positive reason
came in the development Of what is really
the art idea in the outward character of
the home-with the grading and parking
of streets. and the feeling that the breath
of setting for the house can be increased
by extending the lawn to the actual road
way. We have now learned that a fence is
no necessary part of the plan of place.
that 1t really does not add to the complete
ness Of the establishment, and, moreover,
that 1t may even introduce discord with
the architecture,

SHAVED WHISPERS.
When Aged Gentleman's Wife Re
turned Pathetic Scene Ensued.

From the Detroit Tribune.
There is a well-known old gentleman in
Detroit who might a few days ago have
been easily distinguished in a crowd by the
length of the hirsute- adornment on his
chin. His wife is motherly old body who
hadn't seen her hubby without those patri-
archal whiskers for more than thirty years,
till one sad day last week that will long
be remembered in that particular household
and by the remainder Of the party that
was spending a few weeks at the st. Clair
flats.
The old gentleman rather prided himself
on his good looks. He is a great admirer
of pretty face. There were a number of
ladies in the party who began to rally the
old man about his looks. He would be 80
much better looking, they said, If only he
would shave off those old whiskers.
One day last week his wife went up the
river with a friend. The old man disap-
peared for long time. When he finally re-
appeared he was sight for the gods. His
whiskers in which he had taken so much
pride, were in the waste basket and his
chin was as smooth as a baby's. 1t took
about fifteen seconds for everybody in the
house to get next, then such shouts of
laughter arose as never before had been
heard in that cottage.
The pathetic part of the incident hap
pened when his wife came back. The old
man had forgotten all about his whisker-
less face. His wife gave one gasp of aston
ishment and sank to the ground overcome.
When she came to she sobbed as If her
heart were broken, and the old man fol-
lowed suit. Locked In each others arms
the couple sat ON table. and members Of
the family say that for at least one hour
the tears coursed down their withered faces.
The aged culprit is making all possible
haste to cultivate new bunch Of spinach.

In their flight from the building they
spread out to the width Of fifty yards or
more, and soon form a dark belt of moving
life extending over the lake as far as the
sight can reach. The discharge of shot
gun into this flying mass will bring down
fully half barrel of dead bats
During the night they fly about over the
lake and bordering lowlands feeding on in
sects that the region bountfully supplies
them, and return to their commodious
apartment before daylight
While clinging to the walls of the build
ing and to one another. and especially when
they are aggregated in bunchy masses they
make constant movement as If trying to
support themselves, and seem to be con-
stantly moving among one another as bees
are when they mass in this way.
Why the animals have located here in
such masses is not definitely settled. 1t is
supposed, however, to have been due tc
their having found unusually satisfactory
accommodations-thet theAter a comfortable
daylight home and an abundance of savory
food. They. are gregarious animals. but
such an accumulation of them as that found
at Tavares in building in a warm climate
is certainly a very unusual If not an un-
heard of thing.
