FINDS COMFORT IN RE-
LIGION.

Early in October John d. Rookie
teller preached one of his character
istic short sermons at Cleveland
Ohio. 1t was at a Baptist experience
meeting, and the parent of the Octu-
pus said:
"The personal comfort that relig-
ion has been to me has been such
that sometimes feel that would
like to go upon the platform and tell
the people about it."
If there is II human being in this
world who needs the comforts of re-
ligion more than this one man he
has not been discovered.
He works the Jekyll-Hyde bust
ness to a finish. Viewed from one
standpoint he is benevolent, Scrip
transporting, much maligned and
absolutely misunderstood man, EN-
titled to sympathy and respect. In
business he is cold as ice He has
no more heart in his commercial life
than an oyster There is history to
prove it. He has never hesitated to
ruin competitor, even if that ruin
carried with it alone not the blasting
OF hopes, but deliberate transgression
of the law. When John d. Rookie
Teller runs over man funeral has
often followed.
Last month Mr.. Rock efeller's com
psny increased the price of the poor
mans light ~ cents gallon in two
weeks.
Mr.. Rockefeller's share of the new
extOrtion will amount up into the
millions of dollars.
There is no scarcity, no immediate
danger of the supply falling short.
He does not need the money; has
no logical reason for putting the
screws on the people.
But the evenings are long. lights
are much used in the cottage homes,
and the chance for loot was there.
Did Mr.. Rockefeller ever hesitate
It anything when there was mohey !
n sight2
He doesn't need to go on the plat e
oFm. His works speak for him. Z

southern growers. Its nature, origin,
supplies the most effective suggestion
for protection against It's ravages. The
disease is communicated. or carried, on
ly by germs. This years disease comes
from last years diseased plants. TT @
Infection may be either on your own
place, or from the field Of neighbor.
With favorable conditions for the
spread or development of the disease, a
very slight attack, even not noticed.
may develope into very serious attack
OF the next crop. The prevention lies
in destroying oil germs. All onntami-
mated plants and parts OF plants should
be burned. The best method is to des-
troy all tops, eulls and trimmings by fire.
This practice II rlgidly followed is the
surest protec ion at present available.

GET CLOSE TO THINGS.


The Experienced shoppers Advice
to the Quiet Woman.
The modest, unassuming woman had
been trying for some time to get the
attention of a clerk, but they all seemed
to be busy, and she had not the ag-
gressiveness to crowd in and grab one.
The experienced shopper, having com.
pleted her purchases had TING to give a
little sympathy to the quiet one.
do You want to buy something's
she asked.
"Yes," was the reply, IF could only
get the attention of the clerk"
"Oh, that's easyp asserted the expe-
rienced one. Just do as say"
"But they're all so much more siren
uous than am" pleaded the quiet one
I'D rather go without than be as un-
womanly and disagreeable as some Of
the women are. really can't fight for
attention, you know"
mot at all necessary" explained the
experienced shopper. do you see that
tray of trinkets over there"
eyes"
go over and stand by it and pick up
few Of them for closer examination.
Put them back, of course, but just paw
the collection over without any effort
to get hold of clerk. Reach out for
anything you see, as if you were more
interested in what's on the counter than
in what's behind it,"
Il don't see what good that's going to
do"
'"Try 1t and you'll find out"
The quiet woman did as directed, and
within two minutes floorwalker was
at her elbow.
"Do you want anything" he asked
politely.
She said she did, and he made 1t his
business to get clerk TO wait on her.
81 told you So" whispered the expert
enced shopper. Sometimes 1t isn't
necessary to touch thing. If you just
show a desire to get close to things
that are easily carried away they'll
take you for a shoplifter every time
and get clerk for you so that you
won't have any excuse for hanging
around"
The quiet woman gasped and felt |
guilty all the rest Of the time she was |
In the store, but she had TO admit that |
she had learned something about prac-
teal shopping. Brooklyn Eagle.

THE LABORER LIVES.

The secretary of the Chicago En-.
ployers' association recently figured
out that the workingman was never
so we'll off as he is right now.
He estimates that the workingmar
Is receiving from 10 to 40 per cent
more in wages than he was five years
ago, while the cost of provisions has
increased but little over IL per cent
in the same time Consequently he
argues that the workingman is OF
his way to heaven on fiowery. beds oil
ease.
But there are two important facts
which this secretary has overlooked
One is, that five years ago, the
workingmen of the country were not
earning the cost of comfortable
living. Many were, but many more
were not. A very considerable in
crease in wages, without any increase
at all in cost of living, could no more
than have put the labor of this coun-
try In the comfort it deserves.
True, wOrkingmen are not starving
or tramping nowadays. They earn
enough to live on. But shall we take
that meager fact as basis for the
iubilant boast that workingmen are
in clover?
Does labor deserve nothing more
than a living?
With capital piling up immeasura-
BILE fortunes, shall we say that labor
should be content to merely be
above the ragged edge of want?
Shall we become hilarious over the
fact that the man who works six
days week, the whole year around,
is enabled thereby to keep himself
out of the poor house?
The cold truth is that during the
period of great prosperity, in which
enormous fortunes have been accu-
mulated by employers, labor has not
received, and is not receiving, its
share. A mere living is not enough.
Labor, too, ought to have had some
thing to lay up for rainy day.
At the first sign of panic, labor
will suffer. Workingmen will lie
the first to lose income and the last
to get it back again.
The first blood drawn in business
crisis comes from the heart of labor.
The Ii per cent increase of cost in
provisions will go right on. Beef
trust prices have again been forced
up. Everything he puts on his table
or takes into his home costs more
than it ought to.
Prosperity brings him few more
dollars for while, but they do not
20 as far as they did, and when he is
laid off and the dollars cease to come
in at all, the high prices soon eX-
haust his little savings.
Labor is getting comfortable liv-
ing. For that we may be thankful.
It has not always got that. But
there is little else to get hilarious
about.
