Originally evaporation played the
most prominent part in coating the
lake over with salt. but at the present

One of the features of the present
campaign in New York City is FULL
grown live tiger in a lower Broadway
window; held securely behind steel bars.
There is a sign across the front OF the
cage which reads do you want 10
turn him loose again: 1t Is up TO you.
The Significance of the tiger and Its
placard cannot be lost
on a New York citizen. and the appeal
is one that ought to win votes for Low.
For the window shows the situation in
a nutshell. The snarling tiger, fretting
in his confinement and annoyed by the
gaze of the crowd around the window,
IS a concrete representation of the
Tammany machine. At present it is a
well Gagged tiger and the city is safe
But the tiger is hungry and in a bad
temper and if the voters turn it loose
there will be carnival of vice, crime
and corruption such as even that city
never saw before.

There is a lesson to labor in the clos
ing and failure of the Morse shipbuila-
ing works in New York A year ago the
company employed 5000 men, had num-
erous contracts and was not only SOL
vent but was in most prosperous con-
ditiOn. The wage schedule was actual
ly higher than the unions demanded,
but the plant was kept open to all
good workmen whether or not they be-
longed to unions and this made trouble.
The union insisted on the discharge of
all non union men and followed this up
with equally unreasonable demands.
Work was interfered with and sus-
pended; contracts were lost and now
the plant is closed for good and the
men at the head of it will leave New
York. Such things have happened fire.
Guently in England but they are new in
the industrial history of America and
this case is attracting wide attention.
1t is a concrete example of misdirected
unionism at it's worst.

The Man of the, Hour.

The man in the lime-light now is
Joseph Chamberlain. No man in the
Anglo Saxon world has the attention
Of more people centered on him, and he
is n man who does not become small
or weak in such an hour. In his long
public career he has begun many
fights alone as he seems to be begin.
ming this one, but in the end he has
always won. Time alone can tel
whether he will win this fight. Here
in America we have rather vague ideas
of what he is fighting for and why
his policy has broken up an English
cabinet and upset the politics of an
empire, but the independence ana
ability of the man are admired, anu
our resnect for him is not lcssened by
the fact that he has an American VIE
who has had much influence on his
public career. Doubtless Joseph Cham
berlain is today the strongest man in
England, and no nation has greater
love for strength, either physical or
mental than the English. Chamber
lain is always aggressive, always n
fighter to the end. During the South
African war, which was commonly
locked upon as his war, he showed this
characteristic combativeness and
when others hesitated or showed q
trace of fear there was no temporiZin G
or surrender en- his part. Here is an
interesting picture of the man which
Frederick Palmer draws in Golfers
Weekly:
There is only one adequate adjective
for Chamberlain; he is strong; strong
in n modern sense as the mechanics
and the seamen of kiplirg's stories are
strong. Mr.. .'leveland'S followers ad-
mred him for the enemies that he
made; Mr.. Chamberlain admire him
for riding to success on his reverses.
The South African war, ridiculously
planned, supposed to be his war, only
made him more powerful. Equally
amazing is the way in which he has
purpose. Two statesmen could not be
more different. BalfOur has the languoT
of an English gentleman of the old
school that accommodates itself TO the
new. He is so fine a controversiali3t.
with such gift FOR seeing both sides,
that the charming incisiveness which
made him So excellent party leader
on the floor of the house is at one with
his indecision and lack of robustness as
prime minister. While the premier
leans back in his seat on the unionis;
side, Chamberlain is erect. with arms
folded, head thrown forWard-a swift
arrrored cruiser always cleared iol
action, whose eyeglasS may be as puZ-
cling as a searchlight. In a crowd
Chamberlain will either become its
leader Or be tramplcd to death; while
Balfour might send it home by Il pleas
ant speech from balcony Stripped of
all power and prestige. strictly as men.
Balfour will follow Chamberlain as
surely as the small man will put the
big man at the apex of the wedge in a
street fight. Balfour cannot help see
ing many sides. Chamberlain sees his
own and fights for it unremittinSly.
'"rhere are two papers in London to
my idea he once said. Il like the
Daily Telegraph. because it is always
with us. without qualification or reser-
walton. I like the Westminster Ga
Zette, because it is always against us,
without qualification or reservation.

A Washington correspondent figures
out that the loss to the postal depart
nent through the frauds which have

mentS have been returned will not
exceed half a million dollars. That is
Il large sum from the point of view of
the average citizen, but considering
that the postal department does Il
billion dollar business every year, that
the frauds have been going on for
many years and that many men, both
in the service and out of it, have been
involved in the wrong-doing, it is a
very small sum. Moreover, the gov

Trail to Boyland.

Where the maple leaves are yellow
And the apples plump and mellow.
And the purple grapes are bursting with
their rich autumnal wine,
And the oak leaves redy flaming
All the blaze of sunset shaming-
In a trail that wanders idly to a land of
yours and mine.
1t goes through the grassy hollows
And across the hills, it follows
All the playful turns and curvings of the
ever singing streams;
Overgrown with tangled grasses,
All the olden haunts it passes
Till it fades into vista that is cherished
in our dreams.
Fast the pokeweeds and their berries
And the dance halls of the fairies,
over field and through the forest 1t goes
ever on and on,
With the thrush and kildee singing
And the ledbird madly winging
Far ahead of us to somewhere, where the
sunset meets the dawn
Up and down the hillsides hugging,
With the hazel bushes Juggling
At our arms and blushing sumach hold
ing spicy berries out;
And the hawtreeS and the beecheS
HicSores and plums and peaches
Just as young and just as plenty-all our
thoughts of age to fiOut!
So it stretches and it glistens
Far away-and he who listens
Hears the echo of the hailings and the
murmur of song
That comes through the silence throb-
bling
Half with laughter half with sobbing--
Till it clutches at the heartstrings and
would hold them overlong.
This the trail-the Trail to Boyland-
How it spans the miles to joyland.
Passing leafy lane and blossom tangled
vine, and bush and tree.
Coaxing bees till they, in coming,
Fill the hush of noon with humming-
And the wondrous way to Boyland
stretches fair for you and me.

development. in gymnastic and athletic
exercises that there cannot be perma-

not blood strength.
