The Illinois legislature has recently
passed a very stringent child-labor law
which. it is said hits hard many kinds
of business besides manufacturing es-
Establishments. This law prohibits the
employment of persons under IA years
of age in mercantile as we'll as manu-
featuring establishments and the work
ing by night in the same of persons
under Is years Of age. The glass blow
ers have already declared tina they
will be obliged to stop business in that
state and nov elsewhere. The Char
lesion News and Courier suggests that
there should be established an old
mans limit as Well as 4 child's, and
thai all men who reach a certain age
should be prohibited from working, but
it adds hat If such is done the super
ANIMATED would have to be pensioned.
This plan, it remarks, would increase
the demand for laborers between the

-ueIroIana DisappenrinF.

As it was reported from Helgoland
that considerable masses of land had
fallen into the sea during the winter
storms the kaiser visited the island a
few weeks ago to see for himself what
effect this was likely to have on the
fortifcations. His majesty evidently
regarded the situation as serious, for
shortly afterward a number of gov
ernment officials crossed over to make
a thorough investigation. 1t now tran
spires that these gentlemen have given
ND the island for lost. 1t is particular
" the western side of the island, where
the famous grottoes are situated, that
is being rapidly disintegrated.
Eight hundred years ago the island
was five times its present size, and as
the crumbling away of the rock is due
solely to geological causes it is admit
ted that human skill and power can do
nothing to avert its complete disaD-
peaTanee.
Germans are now more than ever
confirmed in their opinion that Bis
marck made an extremely bad bargain
when he made an exchange with Eng
land taking over Helgoland.-London

,linister WI. Humor.

Minister Wa recently attended the
meeting of an association in Canton
composed Of Chinese and foreigners
called the Natural Feet society. Itwas
like this irrepressible humorist to begin
his speech by solemnly asseveradng
that he had never allowed any daugh-
ter of his to bind her feet. admitting,
however, that he had no daughters.
To be sure, his wife has small feet, but
he confded TO his hearers that he de-
ferred marriage three years. hoping
for a wife of suitable rank with nat
ural feet, but when his parents could
find none he had to marry one with
bound feet or remain single. His wife
now thinks as he does about the folly
of the ancient customs. But it is very
difficult to unloosen feet once bound.
though l can tell you sub. rosa my
wife is trying to unloosen her feet.
When she heard of this meeting. she
urged me TO come, and she has author
ized me to say she will give a small
contribution Of 500 to the society"

whereby H. A. Rotermund became

his stock of drugs and stationery from

ness.
In order to make room for the new

is the drug feature to be enlarged,
but complete line of stationery,
books, magazines, shells, sundries
and camera supplies will be carried.
The latter feature will be greatly en-
larged, and to that end big order
has been placed for large line of
cameras, kodaks and camera supplies
Bert Barnes will have charge of

tho opening of his store, here Mr..
Rotermund has proven himself to be
a hustler and his many friends have
no doubt of his making success of
his new venture.
