Free employment bureaus in Ger
many have been so perfected as to re-
fleet almost instantly the state Of the
labor market. The one T visited in
Frefburg, Baden, had a board of d.
rectors, consisting Of three working
men and three employers, the mayor
making the seventh man. To this bu-
reau all have free access except for
servant girls, a small fee being charged
her, to support lodging house Off
women seeking employment At first
the Workingmen held aloof, but later,
fearing the employers might make
these bureaus agencies for collecting
strike breakers, they took hold in ear
nest and have since supplied the off,
Gals with all needful information.
In the bureau in Freiburg, which
may be- taken as a. type of all, the
chief gets $40 a. year, and by reason
OF the state controlling the railroads,
postoffices, etc., notices Of laborers
wanted are posted In conspicuous
places Immediately, and the railroads
cut the third class rates In two to those
seeking work in answer to official no.
tees
L.
the official newspaper Of the city, also
prints these notices, for which privi-
lege, with other official advertising it
pays the city $4,000 a year. Think of
an American newspaper paying for
| the privilege OF printing official no.
tlces!!!
During the past 10 years this one
bureau alone has been the means Of
| supplying $4,000 men and $4,000 wo-
men with work, and though most of
| these would have eventually found
employment, the bureau, by reducing
| the lost time to a. minimum, is really
an economizing machine which lessons
the cost Of production.
The first Of the week these bureaus
are apt to be crowded with men seek
| Ing work, and with employers asking
for workers.. AS the week advances
there are fewer idle men and women,
until by Friday the waiting, rooms are
almost deserted This shows, the un-
steady and fleeting condition Of labor

Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 10. -
William Elliot, a deputy sheriff, was
fatally shot at Thornapple River dam
by j. r. Dietz. DietZ, with his family,
armed with Winchesters, had been
holding up log drive for two weeks.
Judge Parrish granted am injunction
restraining Dietz from interfering with
the logs, but Dietz refused to recognize
it. The sheriff then organized a posse
to arrest Dietz.
Deputies Giblin and Elliot went to
Dietz' home alone, believing they could
effect his arrest without the aid of the
posse. When the dam was reached,
however, Dietz is said to have rushed
from ambush and to have shot Elliot.
He then fed to the woods. The sheriff
dis said now to have given orders to
take Dietz dead or alive. Elliot was a
son of the chief of police of Eau
Claire

VIII Be "the Cheese"
'1The Dog Will Have His Day.,'

''Ene Dog WIFI have hES Daye'
In Hamlet" act 4, scene /, we read:
Let Hercules himself do what he may,
The cat will NEW, the dog will have his
day.
The latter line has become a popular
saying, but we are naturally inclined
to ask what it means. Why should a
dog have day all to himself any more
than any other four footed creature?
Is not the passage piece of silly slang,
and ought it not to be suppressed, like
any other cant phrase that is. born in
the streets? To harmonic the verse
with sense and Shakespeare a friend
has suggested that the last word ought
to be changed to bay. We should then
read, 1.-THE cat will new, the dog will
have his bay" l have no doubt that
Shakespeare wrote it SO and that the
word day is misprint and nonsense.
The analogy between the cats mewing
and dogs baying is self evident and in
elligible.-Kansas City Independent.

bate between the Hearst and Parker
supporters in the Democratic conven-
ton Friday Ex-Governor Waller and
DR.. Brothers, of New Haven, nearly
came to blows. The scene was almost
unprecedented in a convention in this

many delegates alone prevented a
worse scene. The Hearst men were
defeated, the delegates chosen being

During the American civil war there
was an assistant surgeon in the navy
six feet four inches high, who was
serving on board the Penobscot, which
was only five feet eight inches between
decks. The doctors bunk was scant
six feet in length, so that he was I'M
comfortable even in lying down. In
bad weather, on the blockade, when
the spray was breaking over the ship
the doctor was deprived even of the.
comfort of uncoiling on deck. After
considering the matter thoroughly and
remembering that long letters to the
department We're not always read and
not always considered, he wrote as
follows:

Navy:

Bfsmarck's Wonderful Eyes.

No one ever came into the presence Of
the chancellor without deep sense of
the mind power reflected from those
large gray blue orbs. Their flashing
brilliancy and the piercing penetration
Of the glances shot from them were
never to be forgotten. They seemed
incapable Of expressing affection, and
their steel-like hardness only inspired
awe for the towering intellect, the ire
sistible will, the defiant courage, the
fiery energy Of their owner. To watch
the lightning changes Of expression mir
rored in them, rejecting the strong
emotions evoked by humbled pride,
wounded ambition and thwarted self
ishness, and, above all, by the loss of
his absolute sway, was indeed an en-
viable privilege.-Henry Willard in Cen
tury.

Pittsburg, Pa, May Civilian l..
Hartley, white, and James Edwards,
colored, were hanged Thursday in the
Allegheny county jailyard. Both men
had an ample supply of nerve. Hart
ley asked that he be not hanged with
a negro, as he feared his family would
have to bear the disgrace of the pub
lie having the impression that he COM
mitted crime with a negro. His re-
quest was granted by Sheriff Dickson.
Hartley killed Ernest o. Johnston
in a barber shop on the south side on
March %, 1908. The trouble grew
out of some remarks Johnston was al
legged to have made about Hartley's
wife. Edwards, the negro, pleaded
guilty to the killing of Clinton Banks,
a negro, on July 4, 1903, at Borland.
