Prosperity and JOY.

Passing by a busy corner upon State
street the other day we were attracted by
a din of pounding which made the other
noises OF the city seem soft and unobtru
slve, says a writer in Chicago Interior
Presently we discovered that this furious
uproar was caused by the rapid strokes of
an automatic hammer with which the
worIimen were riveting together the i'm.
ihense iron beams OF a new skyscrap~ now
IN process of erection. The work was ac.
conplished with marvellous swiftness and
deNterity that many paused a moment to
admire the operation of this comparatively
new device, device by which a cold stiff
IRON bolt was, as It were, melted right
down to and pressed close against the Hat
surface through which it had been thrust.
Nhen we went on we pitied our ancestors
and envled them.
For, after all, it matters less how long it

worth asking ourselves when we write that

Cold Without Ice.

"a few years ago." writes one cor
respondent, "ice being expensive, my
husband thought of a way to keep
things cold without ice," says the
Ladies' Home Journal "In the cellar

four feet long and two and one-half
feet deep. He masoned it with brick
at the sides and cemented the bottom.
This made 1t dry and easy to wash

through it. In this box we have kept

The possibilities of common ginger

it is well to repeat the tone on the

Lesson Thoughts.
There is one undertaking in this

Lord shall be king over all the

Missionary work Is the changing OF

ence of Him who came to be the
Light of the world.
Selections.
A little more than a century ago the
women of Japan had no hope OF the
future unless, by great merit, they
could be reborn as men. The soul
must go through thousands and thous.
ands of forms, each worse than the
first, before an opportunity would be
given to begin again. Today these
helpless women are learning that they

A people who can change their
whole manner of life for the sake Of
great principle and for the good Of
the state, must be able to change
their religion as well for a greater
principle and for a greater Kingdom.

Home Made Impossibiiitles.

Many impossibilities are home made.
Cowardice turns them out in seemingly
sufficient quantities to block the way to
every path leading TO success. Laziness is
responsible for almost as many more.

other halls as an opportunity. God does
not put insurmountable obstacles in our

Violated ASreementS.

We hear good deal from time to
time about labor unions violating
agreements with employers Much of
this talk emanates from associations
of employers, but we do not often hear
the other side of the question. A dis
pute now on in the city shows that en-
ploNerS do not always live up to agree
ments quite as strictly as they would
have the public believe. Last year
when the strike of picture frame MAX
ers was settled an agreement was
signed which does not expire until
May l, 1904. 1t is signed by all the
employers. although +. w. Job carried
on the negotiations and drew up the
agreement After it was signed Job
said to the president of the union,
'Show me an employer who will vio-
late that agreement and l will show
you yellow dog that is not fit to be a
member of this association That is
the exact language as quoted by the
president of the union.
The agreement provided for nine
hour day and some other conditions,
but was an "open shop" agreement a
short time ago the firm of a. II. Villas
and the firm of h. Il. Cass locked out
their men and will only take them
back as individuals on ten hour
basis. We have not so far heard much
about the duplicity of employers. Job
should not forget that incident in the
next speech he makes about unions

English Employers and UniOnism

A London shipbuilder who has 5000
men on his payroll says: Il am in favor
of unionism because it gives the men a
feeling of security. without which no
workman amounts to much Union men
are generally the best mechanics. They
are better disciplined. and it is easier
to deal with organized labor than with
men who are not organiZed'
a manufacturer said. 1T is worth 20
per cent to feel that my men are con-
tented and satisfied with the conditions
under which they work.
mine owner said: "Employers do
not object 10 meeting their men. so that
the conditions of labor may be discuss
ed. In fact they regard that as a part
OF their business My opinion is that
the union has exercised an influence
for good because it has established. bet

ana because it has put in force collec
tive bargaining, which is best for both

run against snag in the STATE u
Georgia after having enjoyed ciear
sailing for many weeks. 1t Is now
in grave danger of being totally wreck
ed. The ambitious newspaper editor
through his many employees entered
into an alliance with Representative
Griggs of Georgia, who is chairman
of the Dem ccratic congressional COM
mittee. Mr.. Griggs was to deliver
the state delegation to Hearst. He
was to be delegate at large to the
st. Louis convention and chairman OF
the delegation. He made frequent Wis
it's to Georgia to arrange matters to his
liking and was so uniformly success
full that Mr.. Hearst's employees were
confident that the support of the en-
pire state of the sCuth was already
assured to their employer.

Gratis who previously had paid no at
tention to Mr. Griggs efforts in be-
half of Mr.. Hearst, among cnem Mr..

luiries about Mr.. Grisgs' purpose and
ascertaining that he desired to deliver

that he had their earnest support in

MARRIAGE RECORD CLOSED
Old Book viii Soon be Stored
Away With Other Documents.

A new marriage license register
10 now doing duty in the county
clerks office. The old book which
was used nearly two years, has
been closed, and will shortly be
filed away among other books and
documents for future reference and
past records. Between it's covers
may be seen the mention of the drst
step taken toward the vessel that
soon launched two parties on the
wide breast of the "sea of matri-
mony.n The old book chronicles
ll60 names of such persons. A few
of those who took this first step
changed their minds and turned
back after reaching the vessels
side This number, however, was
very small, Just how many of the
above venturesome couples who
launched out bodily on the matrimo-
NAL sea cast anchor in the divorce
mine. This Is made impossible for
the reason that great number of
persons who apply for a divorce 10

other county or state.
BY a reference to the old register
whose pages have been closed 1t
will be found that the first license
recorded therein was issued to s. II.
Hart and Mrs. Ollie j.. Morton,
April 10, 1902 The last license was
issued Thursday afternoon and was
in favor of X. NJ. Barnes and Miss
Elsie Pollock.
The first name TO be found on the
new book which was opened yester-
day are those of J. r. Todd and
Miss Maggie Clarke.
