Mr.. HILL IS GLOOMY
He Thinks That the Labor Unions
Are Going to Kill the
-. Prosperity.
The Same Thing Happening in the
United States as Happened
in England.

New York. Feb. e-stAs labor unions
killed industrial England, so they are
destined to bring about grave financial
reverse in the United States; and this
country is swiftly approaching that crisis.
1t may come in a year; it may be de-
ferred till a presidential year, out 1t is
bound to come
Thus spoke James J. Hill ~- yesterday
noon after discussing the antitrust law
and proposed department OF. commerce.
'"The truth is" said Mr.. Hill, reflective
~, chat this country is losing ground in
a manufacturing way and will do very
well even to hold her own markets. p
1T is a wrong impression that we are
sweeping all competitors aside. They
are sweeping us aside, and why?
Because of the high cost of production
here and the high cost Of production is
due to the growth of labor unionism and
the continued strikes going on among
unions as well as between men and their
employers. ,, :. ssg.,..' :
1--WE can't meet the prices of German
and English manufacturers and pay the
wages which unions compel. II e. !.
80 long as the tariff is maintained we
may hold our own markets, but some day,
perhaps, people in the west-and they
represent majority of the population
will kick over-will demand that the tariff
be lowered.
}''This sentiment increases the further
west one; goes Germany is leading the
world now and is making much swifter
progress than this country or any other.
| England has dropped behind. Labor unions
aided in killing her industrially. France
! is like a bee-always busy, always
! bustling. In France~it is father and son
| and so ON. But Germany is the country
| that is forging ahead. Her laborers work
very cheaply; they spend SIXTY six

spend forty four. At 4

reserve. 1t is hard to tell just when it will
come, but it is approaching. IT may come

of it will depend largely upon who is nom

for with the return Of cold weather,
all the disagreeab1e symptoms of Catarrh
appear: binding headaches, dizziness,
stufy feeling about the nose that makes
breathing difficult, chest pains, and as the
disease progresses, a discharge of nauseat-

one continually hawking and splitting.
Catarrh is a most disgusting disease.
The foul mucous secretions that are con-
stantly dropping back into the stomach
contatninate and poison the blood and is
distributed throughout the body, and it
then becomes a deep-seated, systemic,
persistent disease that must be treated
through the blood, for it is beyond the
reach of sprays, washes, powders or ex-
ternal treatment Of any kind.
S. S. S. soon clears the system of all
Catarrhal matter and purges the blood Of
the irritating poisons, thus efectua1ly
checking the further progress of this seri-
Gus and far reaching disease. Il

A story That Varies.

There is a story more or less fiffused
of n young bride on her wedding day
playing the game of hide and seek ana
concealing herself in one of those an
cient carved chests of large size. After
she had got in the lid closed and she
found herself unable to raise 1t again,
for it fastened with n spring and she
was shut in. Search was made for her
In every quarter but the right one, and
great perplexity and dismay were
caused by her disappearance. 1t was
not till years after when chance led to
the opening OF the chest that the body
of the young bride was discovered and
the mystery of her disappearance
solved.
The story is found in so many places
that it may be questioned whether it Is
true of any one of them. Rogers tells
1t of a palace in Modena. The chest in
which the poor bride was found Is
shown at Bramshill, in Hampshire, the
residence of Sir John Cope. Another
similar chest with precisely the same
story attached to it was long shown at
Maxwell Old Hall, between Winchester
and Bishops Waltham.
The folk tale of Catskin or Peau
dane represents the girl flying with
her bridal dresses from a marriage that
is repugnant to her, and as this tale
is found all over Europe it may have
metamorphosed itself into that of the
bride who got into a chest and died
there.-Cornhill Magazine.

silence often Best Rebuke.

Because a fault exists is no reason
that it should be pointed out with no
regard to time or place. 1t might not
be difficult to prove that there is wis
dom In allowing persons to make mis-
takes unrebuked for the time, but such
wisdom can only flourish in a mind
strong enough not to accept the evil Of
the day as final.
No mother, for instance, really thinks
that her little daughter Of twelve or
fourteen is going to be lifelong slat-
tern because she keeps her bureau
drawers In tumble and Is often seen
withoct proper buttons, nor does any
mother believe that n lie on the lips Of
her little son condemns him TO life of
shame.
The faults must be met, but IL they
are not met by instant fault finding,
but rather by the incubation OF higher
standards and better habits, the actual
offense needs little comment Indeed
absolute silence after a misdemeanor Is
often more severe rebuke than a
storm OF protest and correction.
To make this silence judlclous we
must first of all cultivate In ourselves
a just perception of values and proper
tions. We must train ourselves when
TO see and when not to see, what to
leave out and what to keep In our
