Bottles and Children.

Chicago Tribune: Consider the
glass bottle industry, how it rests-and
rests with crushing weight-on the
bodies OF little children. Read Flor
ence Kelley'B article on "A Boy De-
stroytng Trade in last weeks Chari-
ties.
In the glass bottle Industry the child
is pitted against organized labor as
ally organized b sides with h
child against organized capital. In this
case it does not. The glass bottle
manufacturer and the glass bottle
worker unite against the child.
The glass bottle manufacturer ia
protected by the tariff. The glass bot
tie worker is protected by the union.
There is a rule against more than hf-
teen apprentices for every hundred
blowers in the trade. The small chill
dren found in glass bottle works are
not employed as apprentices. They are
employed as dogs" and are required
to trot all night with bottles from the
molders to the annealing over.
1t is all the more exasperating,
therefore, that in the glass bottle in
dustry trade unionism should have al
lowed its constitutional aversion for
child labor to be tempered by Its IA
tary interest in the retention OF
dogs" The more dogs the glass
blower has the more money he can
make. Hence the fact that during the
last session Of the Illinois legislature
the child labor bill was opposed by
glass blowers as well as by glass man

A Pennsylvania Portia.

Harrisburg letter to Philadelphia North
American: With rare skill and shrewd-
ness Miss Aletha Starr pleaded her own
case in the Dauphin county court Mon
day, in the hearing OF a preliminary In
junction restraining ner from interfering
with the Paxtang Electric company in
planting its poles in front OF one of her
houses.
Even Judge Weiss suggestion of a
lawyer, who was present. was declined,
and the woman went ahead with her ease
as though she had been trained in the
law.
Miss Starr is a modest looking woman
plainly dressed in black, but possesses
a strong face, and carried herself In the
court room with apparently the greatest
ease.
When her case was called she ascend
ed the stand as a witness, and told her
story plainly. One witness after another
was called and questioned by the local
Portta, with nothing but the strange ap-
pearance of a woman to violate the or
binary procedure. The case was held
under advisement.

A man called Major Prentiss was one,
Of the wealthiest and haught1est citi-
zens of a certain small eastern city.
Like most naughty men he was pretty
generally hated. but. k most wealthy
e he was pretty generally praised
to his face. The two newspapers of
the town were especially given to say
ing pleasant things about him, possibly
because he held a past-due mortgage
on each of them. indeed Major Prem

between the two editors, each, perhaps,
hoping the mortgage would foreclose
On the other and leave h remaining
newspaper W lost an opportunity to
construe the others utterances as I'M
friendly to the major.
Once, in the course of a heated dis
c%ussion, in which each was trying to
prove the others position to be inimical
to the majors financial interests, one
of the editors undertook to break down
h others argument by anaiyzing his
logic. After ~learnedly stating the
broader clause Of the syllogism, he
wrote:
This major premise is. as usual, all
wrong"
I will not attempt to describe that
writer's disgust when duplicate proof
slips were laid upon his desk and he

stead of his own:
This Major Prentiss is. as usual, ali

OF course he expected the proof
reader to correct the error, but he could
not resist the temptation to express his
opinion of the stupidity of the printer
who had made it. So ne snatched up d
pen n wrote in ~circling pafenthes3s
on the margin OF the proof slips as fol-
lows, a " hat where I use dashee ne

Reflections OF a Bachelor

New York Press: Some girls have such
a knack eot being pretty that they can
even freckle beeomingly.
You can tell a lot Of things by the color
a woman wears underneath, but you
oughtn't to.
There is nothing in the world SO re-.
freshing as to meet a successful man
who believes in luck.
When a girl is in doubt as to which
man squeezes her hand in the dark, It is
because she hopes it was the one who
didn't do it.
When a man kisses a girl she seems to
think she has got to wiggle around and
muss up her hair to prove to others 1t
was done against her will. when, If she
didn't. nobody would know.

The many guests within the church
Coul not suppress a smile.

Each one this feast did eat

With straw instead Of meat.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-02-24

Globe is not up to the standard: the light is miserable and the sanitary condition abominable. Judging from the number of inmates in the jail at the present time Globe is not really bad place, and the prisoners are only awaiting the action of the grand jury to decide their cases.
 The resorts and gambling houses of the town are numerous and are the equal of any in the territory. Some of the saloons are highly ornamental and have costly bar-room fixtures and other accessories. They are well patronized and orderly.
 Globe is a union town and many of the miners belong to the local union. One condition prevailing in the town does not speak we'll for a union town. Chinamen have a monopoly of the res taurant business. There are a few pri- vate boarding houses where meals can be had cooked by white people, but all the day and night restaurants are in the hands of John Chinaman. Two white men, vendors of tamales and light lunches, manage to live. but they have their carts in the streets and only serve meals at night. A white man can not run restaurant in the town. It has been tried time and time again, but always fai,ure-the miner won't pat ronize them. If the Globe miners un- ion expects to retain the good win of the people at large if will he wall to support a white mans restaurant in tie town.
 Aside from heather Chinee,' Globe is very desirable place to live. The climate is healthful, the people hos pitable and the bright future of the town combine to make it desirable locality for anyone
