WHAT LABOR TROUBLES COST.

Thirty million dollars in wages looks
like big sum, especially If the work
men of a single city are to lose 1t, but
that is the estimate placed on the an
sicipated shrinkage during the next
wear in New York. Labor troubles
have largely brought about this sl1ua-
ton in the building business.
The Chicago Journal figures that
$40 100000 would support 10000 fami
lies for year, allowing $500 to each
family. Ii would provide 100000 men,
women and children with shelter food,
clothing and some of The luSuries OF
life
Thirty million dollars out of the
Jackets of the rich would enable per-
Maps $4,000 boys to go 10 school who'
without this income, will have 10 work,
if they can get work
Thirty million dollars would make
times pros porous for the grocer, the
butcher and the merchant

labor is undoubtedly ore of the prime
causes of the abandonment OF plans
for the future, and the financial aspect
IL another cause. Between unreasona-

and exorbitant prices and pools on the
pther, the capitalists of New York have
siaid down" and will loan their idle
money instead of building.
The Journal declares that what is

The $50 100000 estimate IN New York
Is based on reports FROM the principal

"Oh, Jean, he is gone. gone, gone.'
Jean stepped closer to her while she
sobbed again like little child.
She pulled him to her and held him
tightly against her breast while she
once more read the note through blind
ing tears. The words We're few, but
to her they bore the message of desola-
ton and despair A great haunting.
hollow voice in her heart repeated
them until they echoed from vague dis
lance to distance.
1t was written with a bit of lead on
the half of widowed fly leaf torn
from the book:

poignant was her sense of a despair
which bordered upon desperation.

Alice's heart, Il sweet comfort and a
crushing weight. when an hour later
Hamilton sent for her and she was
taken before him. Her face was stained
with tears and she looked pitifully dis
tressed and disheveled, yet despite all
this her beauty asserted itself with
subtle force.
Hamilton felt ashamed looking at
her, but put on sternness and spoke
without apparent sympathy:
''Miss Roussillon, you came near COM
hitting great crime. As it is, you
have done badly enough, but l wish
not to be unreasonably severe. hope
you are sorry for your act and feel like
doing better hereafter"

w EVERLEY'S absence was not
49, noticed by Hamilton until late
OH the following day. and even
then he secuted Helms sug-
gestion that the young man was posi-
bly, carrying out his threat to disre-
gard his parole.
HE would be quite justified in do
ing 1t. You know that very WE'LL said
Helm, with laugh And he's just the
man to undertake what is impossible.
OF course hell get scalped for his
trouble, and that will cost you some
thing. m happy to say
1T is matter of small Importance
Hamilton replied. "but III wager you
the next toddy that he's not at the
present moment half mile from this
spot He may be fool-1 readily
grant that he is-but even a fool Is not
going to set out alone in this kind of
weather to go to where your rebel
friends are probably toasting their
shins by the fire of green logs and half
starving over yonder on the Missis-
sippi."
Joking aside, you are doubtless
right. Beverley Is hot headed, and if
he could he'd get even with you quick
enough, but he hasn't left Vincennes,
l think Miss Roussillon would keep
him here il the place were on fire"
Hamilton laughed dryly. He had
thought Just what Helm was saying.
Beverleys attention to Alice had not
escaped his notice.
Speaking of that girl" he remarked
after moments silence, what am
to do with her? There's no place to
keep her and Farnsworth insists that
she wasn't to blame" He chuckled
again and added:
Its true as gospel He's in love
with her TOO. Seems to be glad she

thing but being genuine angel. Why.

is a pretty thing. Beverley doesn't
know his foot from his shoulder blade
when she's anywhere near him. Boys
are bows. I'm sort of boy myself.
IF she'd give up that flag 10 let her

her. 1t looks brutal and makes me feel
like tyrant."
Have you ever happened TO notice
the obvious fact, Governor Hamilton,
that Alice Roussillon and Father Beret
are not all the French in Vincennes?
what do you mean
II mesn that ! don't for moment
believe that either the girl or the priest
knows a thing about where that flag is.
They are both as truthful and honor

them. Somebody else got that flag

depend upon that II Miss Roussillon

LIBRARIES, CORN AND HOGS.

A convention OF public librarians and
library promoters has held forth in
Marshalisown for three days and adj
iourned. There were 100 earnest
minded delegates present. To the aver
age citizen the proceedings were not
thrilling The librarians discussed
cataloging, system AMI management.
while the lay delegates talked books,
tax levies and methods of promotion,
but the fact that 100 earnest, working
citizens should journey many miles TO
attend such a convention speaks VOL
tines for the intelligence OF the state,
present and future in which such a
movement is possible.
Iowa is notable for the intellectual
life, the enterprise as well as the thrift
of It's small centers, Unlike other
states 1t has no great cities. unlike 9TH

where ignorance thrives apart from,
the world, and unlike most states
Iowa's small towns and It's rural neigh
borhoods are alive with the culture of
the very highest order In hamlet as
ere maintained. in rural homes as we'll
MS urban mansions books are read. For
these reasons free public library affairs
interest great number and the citi-
zens of the state are creating for them
selves the free opportunity for book
knowledge faster than the average
elsewhere. Critics may deplore her
tack OF literary genius, but the remark

above and beyond the knowledge of
corn and hogs.
In this convention there appeared an
Iowa Library Association, an organza-
ton of free public library enthusiasts
who have been working for years to
promote the establishment of free pub
lie libraries in this state. There ap-
peared representatives OF the Iowa
Federation of Women's Clubs, an or
ganization of club women of the state,
who are engaged in seeking literary

ONLY WOMAN MASON.

Took the Degree in an Irish Lodge in
 the Eighteenth Century.
 Much nonsense has been printed from time to time relative to women who were reported to have been re- ceived into the Masonic order--a few with a knowledge of their sex but most by means of subterfuge. There are, however. authentic reports Of the iriti- ation of but one member of the sex. She was Mrs. Aldworth, the youngest child and only daughter of Arthur St. Lodger created first Viscount Doneraile, Ireland, June 2s. 1703. and Elizabeth. daughter and hetress of John Hayes of Winchelsea.
 She was born about 1713 and was mar ried to Richard Aldworth, of Newman ket, county Cork, who was the son of Sir Richard Aldworth. provost marshal of Munster.
 It happened that on such an occasion the lodge was held in a room separated from another by stud and patchwork. The subject of this sketch being proba- bly giddy and thoughtless. determined to gratify her curiosity. With pair of scissors she removed portion of a brick from the wall and placed herself so as to command full view of everything which occurred in the next room.
 Tn this position she witnessed the first two degrees of Masonry, which was the extent of the proceedings of the lodge that night. From what she heard when the members of the lodge were about to separate for the first time she felt tremblingly alive to the awkward began to consider how she could retire without observation.
 She became nervous and agitatedl and stumbled against and overthrow a chair.
 The crash was loud. and the tyler of the lodge who was in the lobby, gave the alarm, burst open the door and with a light in one hand drawn sword in the other appeared to the now terrified young woman. He was immediately joined by the members of the lodge present. They, for the most part, were furious al the transaction. She was placed under guard Of the tyler and a member in the room in which she had been found. The members re-assem- bIed and deliberated for two hours as to what was to be done.
 At length it was resolved to give the young woman the option of submitting to the Masonic ordeal to the extent she had witnessed it. or if she refused the members were again to consult. Miss St. Ledger, exhausted and terrified, yielded and was accordingly initiated. The other inmates of the house were in perfect ignorance of the transaction.-- Chicago Record Herald.
