KNEW HIS BIOGRAPHY"
Well Informed Foreigner Who Was
Willing to Go to Some
''Small Town"

The employment bureau in the rooms
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton is often the source of much amuse-
ment to the secretaries. The most
troublesome applicants are English
men. Some weak and worthless ones
drift into the city from New York and
have an idea that they are going to
make their fortunes the first year. The
other day a sehoolteacher arrived on
the scene, relates the Chicago Tribune.
He was young man who had never
done anything but teach school, and
knew how to do nothing else. Now,
schoolteachers are of no use to the
class Of people who go to the Y. M. G.
A. bureau for employees, and this par
ticular young man didn't seem to
amount to much even in his own line,
for he wrote wretched hand. But he
wasn't particular. In spite of his boast
ed familiarity with the "three RS
and his deep insight into grammar and
Biography he was willing to leave his
profession and accept a position in
some large mercantile house. The Sec
tale Of want takes a fatherly interest
in the waits that come to his mill, and,
unable to give him a situation, offered
an equivalent in the shape Of advice.
my dear fellow" said he, ''there is
no chance for you IN big city like
this. You have no references, no let
ters of introduction. You can't do any
special work, and people are not in the
habit of taking schoolteachers in as
senior partners even on the presenta-
tion of credentials. You don't know the
ways of the country, and if we got you
position ever so humble they would
expect you to git up and git at the
word and to catch on to things, no mat
ter how new and strange they were.
The best thing for you to do IS to go
to some small town in the west where
you can live cheaply, teach little,
learn the ways Of the people, and grad
ually work up to something better.
You say you are well up in geography.
Can't you think of place you would
like to go to; some small town Of 1000
or 5000 inhabitants?"

foreigner, with rising inflextfon and

"spot" cotton-that is, cotton in bale,
ready for delivery-being confined to the
Liverpool exchange. Liverpool, Curl
ously enough, has never been a manu-
facturer of cotton, and sees cotton only
in transit on its way to and from Man
chester in one form or another.
TO see cotton in the process of manu-
facture it is necessary to leave that not
very lovely city and journey to towns
even less lovely. The visitor can take
his choice of so good-sized towns with
in 20 miles of Manchester. He may go
to Oldham and find town the size of Ed
inburg quivering with the vibrations
from countless mills; he may go to Boil
ton and find town larger than Dundee,
with mills in almost every street. Ash
ton-under-Lyne, Haywood, Middleton,
Castleton, and Rochdale will give him
ample opportunity of further study of
the process of manufacture, if his educa-
tion is not yet completed. One thing
he will find difficult to decide is, which
is the ugliest of all these swarming hives
of industry. The cotton trade has
brought many blessings to Lancashire
but it has destroyed the beauty of one
of the prettiest counties in England
How pretty it was may be judged from
the few remaining spots of beauty which
the cotton mill and coal mine have left
untouched.
In every respect the cotton trade is
h,,k &c fr;l1
feature is the relations which exist be-
tween employers and employed. In no
other industry is there the same mutual
confidence and respect between masters
and men. Since the great strike, and it's
settlement by the Brooklands agree
ment, there has been peace, and the
terms of that agreement seem to render
any future strike out of the question.
Under that agreement the representa-
tives of the men have access to the books
of the employers, and so the sliding scale
of wages can be easily determined with
out friction or suspicion.
Much misconception prevails with re-
gard to the cause of the cotton crisis,
and much indiscriminate criticism has
been passed on the American spectators
in futures" Although the action Of
those spectators has been detrimental
to the trade, inasmuch as their dealings
have tended to unsteady the market and
cause unnecessary fluctuation, specula-
tion alone is powerless to fetter great
industry. The causes of the crisis are to
be traced back faI beyond the handful

PECULIAR PHENOMENA.
Great BiIIows Are Rolling in From the
Sea in California.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept 8.-From
many points along the southern coast
Wednesday came reports of damage
by great billows, which are rolling in
from the sea, occasioned by some pc
culiar phenonemena, possibly volcanic
disturbances far out in the ocean
While there is scarcely a cupful Of
wind, enormous waves, in some in
stances 40 feet high, roll ceaselessly
against the shores. Word comes Wed.
nesday that the wharf at Huenema is
doomed to total destruction. At Ter
minal Island the sea has wrought con-
siderable havoc, and hundreds of men
are at work piling UP sacks of sand
to form breakwaters. Several cot
tages are inundated. At Long Beach
and at Ocean Park the pleasure
wharves have been much damaged,
and no one is permitted to go ON
them The heavy seas have been
running for, several days, but Wednes-
day they were higher than before, and
mode damage may be done.

Frankness Wins While Secretiveness
Repels the Advances of
Acquaintance.

There is no more delightful trait in
the young or the old than absolute
frankness and openness of nature, that
transparency of character which lets US
see the best and the worst in them,
their strong and their weak points,
without any effort at concealment, says
Orison SWEET Marden, in Success.
Everybody admires the open-hearted,
the people who have nothing to conceal,
and who do not try to cover UP their
faults and weaknesses. They are, as a
rule, large-hearted and magnanimous.
They inspire love and confidence, and,
by their very frankness and simplicity,
invite the same qualities in others.
Secretiveness repels as much as
frankness attracts. There is something
about the very inclination to conceal
or cover up which arouses suspicion and
distrst. We cannot have the same con-
fidence in people who possess this trait,
no matter how good they may seem to
be, as in frank, sunny natures. Dealing
with these secretive people is like trav-
cling on stage coach on dark night.
There is always feeling of uncertainty
We may come out all right, but there is
lurking fear of some pitfall or un-
known danger ahead of us. We are
uncomfortable because of the uncertain
ties. They may be all right, and may
deal squarely with us, but the trouble is
that we are not sure, and cannot trust
them. No matter how polite or gracious
a secretive person may be, we can never
rid ourselves Of the feeling that there is
motive behind his gSaciousness, and
that he has an ulterior purpose in view.
He is always more or less of an enigma,
because he goes through life wearing
mask. He endeavors to hide every trait
that is not favorable to himself. Never
If he can help it, do we get glimpse of
the real man.
How different the man who comes out
in the open has no secrets, who reveals
his heart to us, and who is frank. broad
and liberal! How quickly he wins our
cOnfidencei How we all love and trust
him! We forgive him for many slip
or weakness, because he is always ready
to confess his faults, and to make amends
for them. If he has bad qualities. they
are always in sight, and we are ready to
make allowances for them. His heart
is sound and true his sympathies are
broad and active. The very qualities he
possesses-frankness and simplicity
are conducive to the growth of the high
est manhood and womanhood.

quantities; but Lancashire, satisfied
with the American supply, and failing
to foresee the ''lean years" forgot to
think imperially." She has belied her
proud boast of anticipating the thought
OF the rest of England, and her want of
foresight has cost her dear. But the
lesson has been learned. and with char
acteristic energy Lancashire has lost nc
time In taking steps to guard against
disaster in the future
The shortage from which Lancashire
is now suffering has perhaps only called
attention to problem which will be
solved in time to avert a greater catas-
trophe to Lancashire and the empire.
When the manufacturers of Lancashire
found themselves face to face with the
Crisis they rose to the occasion with
admirable courage and energy. They
Instituted general short time-that is
to say, it was agreed that the mills, in
stead OF working 64 hours week, should
only work for 4S hours. Recently it has
been decided to still further reduce the
working hours to 40. The object of this
the raw article and prevent the price
from rising beyond a certain point.
Had manufacture proceeded at the or
dinary rate the price of cotton would
have risen to such a point that manu-
facturers would have been unable to
sell their products at profit, and finan-
cial disaster would have overwhelmed
Lancashire. Moreover, the reductions
of output tended to minimize any of
the evil effects of the speculation of the
cotton kings in New York. The hard
ships entailed by short time have been
borne without murmur by the men.
who are, naturally, the first to suffer
from the crisis. Indeed, it is not alone
the men who are the sufferers. In al
most no industry does female labor plav
so important part. 1t is a common
thing to find husband and a wife and
children working practically side bv
side in the same mill. The workers, both
men and women, recognize that the
steps which the masters have been COM
PEELED to take are in their ultimate in
terests, and they cheerfully bear the i'm
mediate loss for the sake of the future
Normal times are shortly expected to
return. In the opinion of those best
qualified to judge, the mills, on the ar
rival Of the new crop, will be able to
resume full time in October, and the
crisis, the severest since the great co,-
ton famine during the civil war in the
>Unitsd States. will be over.

WILL CONTINUE STRIKE
Chicago Meat Workers Vote to
Keep Up the Struggle.
A Riot Took Place Near the CHICAGO
Stockyards, and the Police At
tackled the Crowd With Clubs
and Put it to Flight.

Chicago, Sept. S.-Having voted to
continue the stockyards struggle un-
til better terms can be secured. the
strike leaders Wednesday were in
quandary as to what the next move
will be. When the result of the vote
of the men. defeating the proposition
to return to work, was announced
Wednesday, it was stated by the union
officials that second ballot would be
ordered at once.
Shortly after the announcement was
made, however, the plan was abar.
-doned, and efforts were begun to Sc
cure another conference with the pack
ers. In this the strikers were unsuc-
Cessful, and then second announce.
ment was made that the order issued
last week placing all meat on the un-
fair list would go into effect Wednes-
day night. While arrangements were
being made to put this order into
effect, it was suddenly discovered by
some of the leaders that the allied
trades conference board would have
to give their consent to the order be-
fore it could be enforced, and that it
would be impossible to put the mani
festo into effect Wednesday, as the
Rllied trades conference board would
not be able TO arrange for a meeting
of its members until Thursday 1t
was then stated that the central or.
ganization would meet Thursday at II
o'clock to consider the question.
Following the announcement that
the strikers had voted to continue the
strike, meeting. attended by repre-
sentatives of all the packers, was held
at the Office of the National Packing
Co. After the meeting it was stated
by one of the packers that no oppor-
tunity would be given the labor lead
ers to present proposition embrac-
ing arbitration, as was being planned
by the strikers.
The efforts of a patrol wagon full
of policemen to disperse a crowd of a
thousand persons, made up of strikers
and others, who were watching two
men attacking an escaped steer with
knives, caused riot near the stock
yards Wednesday. The police at
tackled the crowd with clubs. Some of
the crowd fought against the police
men, but all were finally put to flight,
except five, who were arrested. The
steer bled to death from it's wounds
