longed to the visitors from Wisconsin. In
delivering his remarks Senator Daniel COM
plimented the debaters on the fact that the
arguments had been entirely free from
nonsense. and that it was one Of the best
contested debates he had ever heard. He
complimented the Georgetown and Wiscon-
sin boys alike but said the Wisconsins
had won the decision by unanimous vote
The Georgetown boys gracefully accepted
their defeat and warmly congratulated their
opponents upon their victory.
Besides the debaters there were seated

were outpointed, however and the decision
of the judges though a natural disappont-

The debate was held last evening in Gas

the part OF the motormen, for they have

ures II their objections to the G order

Belmont stands Firm.
President August Belmont. through
his secretary. declared that the In
scarborough Company was going to
stick by its order that the motor
mon pass a rigorous physical ex-
animation in order to ualify. He said
that, after the most careful considera-
ton of the matter. the officers Of the
company had decided that the require
ments called for in the physical exam
ination were not unfair.
When Chief Jencks. of the local union
of engineere. heard of the statements
by Mr.. Belmont. he said: 1T want to
a that We are not now considering a

proposition to make and we are going
to make 1t and stand by 1t. If the

THE FACTORS |
NIECE
BY FRANK H. SWEET
Copyright. 1905, by Daily story Pub. Coz

HERE was music in the La
/ bou cabin that evening. music
mingled with the sound of much
laughter and the shutting of
feet; and if one had gone lit
tie to the windward of the cabin, there
would have been the odors of lavish
cooking. Had not Pierre, the ne'er do
well, come home that day, Pierre, who
had gone forth singing to make great
fortune, and who had come back un-
shaved and ragged, but still singing?
Why should there not be festivity?
Money was good. but ii was such very
small part of life. 1t was Pierre they
were glad to have back, not the money
he had promised to bring. That was for
gotten. The only drawback was that
as soon as he got rested he would start
away once more in search of the for
tune.
So Jean, Of the big black beard and
broad shoulders, who had put by $40
for the cold weather, threw half of 1t
upon the table, ard would have fol-
lowed it with the other half had there
been excuse; and Baptiste, who shared
his means with every needy person he
met, whether deserving or not, and so
had but $40. gave that; and, lastly,
Henri, the youngest and handsomest
and most reeourceful of them all, add
ed $50 dollars as the half of his saw
ings.
Maria, the merry one, the mother of
the boys, the friend of everybody, gath
cred up all this money to meet the ex-
penses of the feast and the music and
to procure new clothing for Pierre.
Should more be needed she would only
have to go to the boy who happened to
be the most convenient, and ii would
be forthcoming. And when Pierre was
ready to go away again, all the boys
would be sure to slip something into
his hand with muttered apology.
That was the Labou way.
But at the big house little distance
up the hill, the house whose large win
dows were always shaded to keep out
the sun, and whose broad front steps
were never used except when the girl
polished them and left the front door
open a little for the neighbors to see
the fine furniture in the hall, things
were viewed differently.
The skinny-faced, greedy-eyed fac
tor and his wife, and the niece who was
staying with them, had been asked to
the merry making, for at such times
the Labous never excepted anybody,
friend or foe; but the factor had
snarled, as he always did, and refused
for himself and family.
So this evening in the little back
Kitchen of the big house, the factor sat
scowling at the merry strains of the
violins and the shutting of feet and
laughter.
"The imbeciles!" he snarled. ''The
lazy, shiftless spendthrifts! They
ought not TO be allowed at large. to en-
courage idleness. Every man, woman
and child within three miles is over
there dancing and carousing. when they
ought to be asleep or at work"
:. Surely it is scandalous," agreed his
wife. THAT big Jean gave Francois,
