Thus in her broken German did little, prema-

life some time ago at st. Mary's hospital in Detroit,
Michigan.
Years ago she left the Fatherland happy in her
young motherhood, hoping that the prosperous
land of America she might bring up her young
brood.
Instead, she found bitter hardships, unending
toll, sickness, sorrow, failure and heartache.
Her husband died She toiled at the washtub
in tense and tragic struggle for bread. Six of her
eleven children died She married again and the
worthless husband deserted her. Three of the re-
naming children went to the bad, Her health
failed and she was sent to the hospital.
This is picture from real life.

His Revenge.

On the feVrr-Strickcn coast of New
Britain three white men had settled
to hunt for beche-de-mer, and they
had gathered around them body of
natives, among whom their word
was law. Stenhouse, the leader, was
an Australian. He was Il tall, pow
erfully built man, but one side of his
face was terribly distorted and the
eye gone. This he told his comrades
one night had been done curing Il
muntiny on board ship when he was
IL boy. He had had no part in the
mutiny, but Mr. Fullerton, one Of
he officers, had knocked him down
after the fight and kicked HIM in the
face until lie was unconscious, and
on reaching port had him sent to the
penitentiary, from which he escaped.
He vowed he would kill Fullerton
some day, if he had to wait 20 years.
A ship touched at the coast one
| daY, and to one of the natives who
boarded her the captain said he had
| two men dead whom he wished to
bury ashore. The natives also
| brought ashore a number of neWspa-
pers, and from the address on some
of them Stenhouse discovered that
his enemy was on board. His plans
We're quickly laid. He remained in
| the background while his friends,
with % armed natives, lay in am
bush for the burial party. The latter
were overpowered and disarmed as
they stepped OH shore, but We're al
lowed to bury their dead. Fullerton,
who was in the party, could not re-
strain his sObs as the earth was
shOveled in.
A heavy footstep sounded in the
jungle uear them and StenhOuse
carrying two cutlasses under his
arm, strobe into the square and
stood before Fullerton.
For moment or two their eyes
met and then Stenhouse raised his
hand and touched his distorted face
"You know me, Mr.. Fullerton"
81 know you. You have come tC
kill me-"
Yes, unless you kill me- H,
drew a cutlass from its leather
sheath and held it's hilt out to the
man he hated. Fullerton folded his
arms across his chest
EHakc it,n said StenhOuse slowly
"or by G. III cut you down as yol
stand"
LAS you will, replied the old man
steadily, but fight you | win not
My life is in your hands. Take it
am not afraid to die
Stenhouse drew his cutlass slowly
his one eye shining with a deadly
hatred.

NEW ZEALAND AND LABOR STRIKES.

The necessity for industrial peace may yet
force the United States to follow the example of
New Zealand and establish compulsory arbitration
As far as can he learned the effects of the sys-
tenn in Britans's antipodal colony satisfactory
and after Il trial of nine years. there is no talk of
repeal.
At first the employers stood aloof, as if to ig-
more the arbitration act. But they soon
brought to their senses by the almost complete Or
ganizaton of labor.
The employers finally found the position of the
workers too strong to be met by individual effort
and therefore formed organizations of their own.
The result is that at present the employers register
ninety-seven industrial unions, while the workers
register 247.
No trade Of any consequence exists which is not
working either under industrial agreement or I'M
der an award of the arbitration court.
The lie has been gwen to the old claim that the
act would drive capital out of the country. In
eight years the number of factory workers in the
colony has increased from $4,000 to $4,000. In
five years the yearly wages paid have increased from
$0,5OOOOO to Sl5O0O,OOO.
During the last fiscal year New Zealand's ex-
ports rose to S76,O00,000 or $15,O00OO0 more than
for the twelve months previous.
i' Within the nine years many new laws have
been made to meet conditions and existing
laws were changed to meet changed conditions, I'M
til now the bulk of the statutes have reached an
impregnable position. In short, the act has pro-
NOTED business and confidence in making contracts,
has raised wages, shortened working hours, elmi-
mated the sweater, raised the standard of work and
has encouraged legitimate competition in trade.
Of course, New Zealand is a smaller country
than the United States, and what is good for one
country might not be so beneficial for the other
But certainly something should be done to arrest
the war between capital and labor in the United
States.

Ohiected to Unwashed Mnsiciams.

The intendant of the royal theaters recently told
Emperor William that he had succeeded in engaging a
cello player whom Wagner regarded one of the best
of his kind. He continued:

Jumped up embrace and kiss him on his two cheeks.
He has washed his cheeks since then for fear of
rubbing off the imprint of the maestro's lips What
does your majesty think of that?"

years At handling playing cards than any other gambler
Dodge City The gambling spirit was born in him.
He told me that when kid at l{okomo he was the
farthest advanced boy in his Sunday school; that he
won money on the length of sermons, how many con-
verts there would be in week or month. He became
so notorious that he was expelled from church ana the

as Murray Pierces and undoubtedly there never was
such gambling establishment since the time gold was
discovered in the Sacramento valley in 49
Murray made more coin than the Union Pacific

A PLEDGE SIGNING CRUSADE.

The Epworth League, the organized young peo-
pe of the Methodist Episcopal church, representing
a membership of 100000 young Christian soldiers
will begin campaign for total abstinence. That
much was decided at the great convention in De-
troit lastJuly.
The awful effects of liquor upon the body, mind
and soul will be emphasized. Its domestic and So
cal devastations are to be retold. new and de-
termined effort is to be made to stir the hearts of
the girls and boys with deep seated hatred Of the
liquor poison.
To this end pledges by the tens of thousands
are to be circulated. The young people are to be
asked to pledge themselves to abstain from liquor,
tobacco, profan9 language and all forms of I'M
purity.
Christian men and women the world over Will
applaud this determination of the young Metho-
dsts. They feel that latter day efforts have been
centered upon the political aspect of the liquor evil
to the neglect of the moral suason side.
That the traffic in Intoxicating beverages Is a
disbopor to Christian civillzation inimical to the
best interests of society," political wrong of up-
eoualed enormty subversive of the ordinary objects
of government, incapable of being regulated or re-
strained by any system of license, is proposition
now universally accepted by thinking men and wo-
men, but
While the great advocates of the trafic's
complete outlawry have been busy pounding then
unanswerable logic into the heads of men, the bev-
erage liquor business has been active in cutlvatmg
the appetites of the boys
The Cornelius Deorans and Father Matthews
and Francis Murphys men who, with malice toward
none and charity for all, sought to arouse the tip
pier from his course and bring him to a decision by
urging upon him all abstinence pledge, went out OF
business too soon.
But some do not believe in any pledge. Yet
The moral value of right decision is inestima
ble The man who makes a covenant with himse
and tries to keep it is using the universal instru
. m4nt of all civilization, of all commemorative III
strument of pledge words.
To make or sign pledge is not a surrender o
personal liberty us IS frequently urged. 1t i

COLORADO CITY MILL STRIKE
SETTLED BY ADVISORY BOARD

Colorado Springs. Colo, April l.
The advisory board appointed by Gov
ernor Peabody to aid in the settlement
of the strike at Colorado City has
finally succeeded in effecting an am
icable agreement. The board last night
issued the following statement to the
public:
In an official communication 70 the
public made by this board under date
of March 30. 1909. the opinion was ex
pressed that the differences remaining
at the time unsettled between the
United States Reduction and Refining
Company and the Mill and Smelter
mems Union No. 125 of the Western
Federation of Miners. with reference to
the strike at Colorado City, were Of
form merely and that the same result
would follow whether the proposition
OF President Meyer or that of Vice
President and General Manager Mac
Neill were followed. The main ques-
ton undetermined at that time was as
to the time when the men should be
reinstated.
The board was of the opinion that as
soon as the boycott should be raised
on the Cripple Creek district the in
creased shipments of ores to the mills
at Colorado City would necessitate the
employment of such an increased
force in the mills as would give work
to all the men then on strike
Mr. Meyer has this day agreed to ac-
cept the proposition of Mr.. MacNeill,
as given in the communication of
March 10Th. and he has declared the
strike off, basing his action to some
