UNION LABoR's LAST DITCH
The drop curtain Of the Miller case
has been lifted and shows President
Roosevelt acting out another OF his
two horse acts. He has stood pat on
the Miller Reinstatement in the gov
ernment printing office. but he buch-
ed and lunched the labor leaders at
the White house and delivered to
them a didactic avowal Of his deep
devotion to the cause of union labor,
incidentally lamenting that the laws
of the land prevented his display OF il
in the aforesaid Miller case
Il is plain as a pike-stan that the
president did all this TO coddie the la
bor element and prevent a situation
that might lose him a large measure
Of its votes next year. He is after his
job with all the insistence of a lock-
ed-out laborer and is not a fool to dis
count the value Of the workingmen's
votes IN next years campaign.
The question of what union labor
will now do about the presidents 20
.sition becomes important to a degree.
What he has said and done In the Mil
Ter case seems to have stirred mp
employers associations in different
parts of the country to demand open
shops all along the line OF industries.
The signs all point to an effort to
freeze union labor out OF the eld
Some employers say frankly that by
their united. concerted action they can
win the open shop by refusing to run
any other kind and if there is a laDor
war they can stand the idle period
much more easily than the working
man. who must get wages or go hun

That foreshadows bruta situation.

my fevered head. Physical relief and
delicious shuddering GOODNESS ran
through me.
From that wet pillow I looked up
and thought again Of what had hap
pened that day, and particularly Of
the girl whom De Chaumont had
called Mime. de Ferrier and Eagle.
Every word that she had spoken
passed again before my mind. Posi-
biHties that I had never imagined
rayed out from my recumbent body as
from the hub Of a vast wheel. I was
white. I was not an Indian. I had
Bourbon ear. She believed I was a
dauphin. What was dauphin, that
she should make such deep obeisance
to it? My father, the chief, recon-
mendins me to the squaws, had ap-
peared to know nothing about it.
All that she believed De Chaumont
denied. The rich book which stirred
such torment in me-"you know 1t was
his mother'sv' she said-De Chaumont
thought I merely coveted. I can see
now that the crude, half savage boy,
wallowing In the spring stream, set
that woman as high as the highest star
above his head, and made her the hope
and symbol Of his possible best.
A woman's long cry, like the appeal
of that one on whom he meditated,
echoed through the woods and startled
him out Of his wallow.

sew Guinea Swamp Dwe,lers.

New Guinea Swamp Dwellera.
Recently the British government pub
lished an interesting report on the ape
like swamp dwellers Of New Guinea.
This strange race Of human beings has
dwelt In the swamps from times which
antedate the oldest native traditions,
and It is evidently on the htghroad to
becoming distinct variety Of animal.
The swamp dwellers have lost three
Inches in stature and, while retaining
muscular arms and robust trunk,
have short and slender legs. Walking
always in water or on moist ground,
they have feet with long, fragile look
ing toes, which they place on the
ground 'like wooden feet" Walking on
hard ground makes their feet bleed,
and, unlike the ordinary natives,
whose skin Is everywhere tight and
smooth, the outline Of their loins Is OBJ
scured by folds Of skin. more apelike
than any human being that I have
seen," is the concluding criticism Of the
British administrator. 1t is probable Of
course that this effort Of nature to ere
ate new species Of amphibious hu-
man being with fat swimming and
wading feet and degenerate physique
will be defeated by civilizing agen-
cies. Fifty years hence the last recog-
nizable specimens Of this queer race
will perhaps have incased their paddle
feet in boots. Perhaps their women
will be wearing high heeled shoes. But
the record Of their existence IS inter
esting.

The Ram Feast.

In Morocco tie strange season Of the
bfohammedan new year, beginning
March 9, is generally called "Ait-el-
Hanwela," the ram feast. The people
Of Morocco pay more elaborate atten-
ton to the item Of sacrifice than any
other Moslems. In every town su'
preme offering Of ram or be goat
takes place at the door Of the principal
mosque. Immediately after it is struck
BY the official imam In presence Of the
multitude it is flung on the shoulders
OF a stalwart Moor, who, exertng his
utmost strength, runs like a deer
through the narrow streets, pursued
by rabble. The poor animal IS pelted
with stones by boys and Is jeered at
with execrations from every house, as
it is reputed to be carrying the sins OF
the people. The man rushes along with
his burden till he reaches the door OF
the cadi's palace If the animal Is stll
breathing, the augury is excellent, for
good luck is to be expected all through
the year. But If the ram Is dead Gil
sorts Of evil prognostcatons are NUT
tered.

The Charitable Americans.

The Americans are looked upon by
the peoples of Europe as the most
wasteful persons in the world, and
they do spend their money with a free
dom unknown elsewhere because they
have the money to spend. But with all
their apparent carelessness there Is no
country In the world nor Is there rec
ord Of any in which the people devote
so much to the welfare Of the unfortu-
nate and the wretched. The practice
has become habit and is looked upon
rightly enough as an obligation. No
one can free himself from 1t. Every
one has a neighbor somewhere, and ne
will not fulfill his obligation merely by
denying himself Of some luxury OF
pleasure unless the self denial bene-
fits his unfortunate neighbor.-Phila-
delph1a Ledger.
