SEAL MONKEYS SUPERIOR.
Jocko Eludes Keepers, Enters Cage of Amphibian and Receives Hard
 Beating.

A seals intelligence is not the most striking characteristic of that ampht- bian, but this story from the San Franci- co Chronicle shows that the creatures possess unexpected pugilistic possibil- ties. Jocko, the king-pi performer in Herr Geisler's troupe of performing monkeys. made the acquaintance of Prof. Rumley's big performing seal a few days ago in manner that left the clever lit- tie monkey sadder, but considerably wiser At feeding time Herr Geisler inadvertently left open the door of the monkey cage and the monkeys stood not on the order of their going, but in a flash were swarming over every available space in the huge menagerie.
 It was only after an hours hard work that the keepers managed to get their charges together, with the exception of little Jocko, who would hang by his tail and grin just out of the keepers reach. At least they succeeded in cornering him, and in desperation he leaped to the cage over the seals, at the top of which was the opening through which the seals were fed. Finding his pursuers close upon him, he jumped into the cage and down upon the seals platform. The big performing seal resented the intru- sion and proceeded to catch the monkey, now thoroughly frightened, between his huge flippers, alternately skipping and biting him. The teeth of the thoroughly subdued monkey did not stop chattering for half an hour after Prof. RumIey had rescued him from his plight

GERMAN WoMEN's ADVANCE
Years of Public Abuse and Ridicule, Followed by Hard Work,
 Bring Results.

Back 20 or 30 years ago, says the Pil- grim, few women began to call the attention of their sisters to all the evil and dependence the lack of educa- tion meant for them in country where knowledge is accounted the highest good. Quiet, steady work fol- lowed, undismayed by legislative ac- tion and by public abuse and ridicule, until now almost all the German uni- versailles are open in a measure to women, allow them degrees in various branches, and high schools and prepar- atory schools and courses exist in varl- ous cities. With the right to study the professions at home has come the right to practice them, and there are number of women physicians and a few women lawyers in Germany to- day, something that would have been considered impossible 30 years ago. Prominent men have been enlisted in the service of higher education for women, and the daughter of minister of education was one of the first pupils of the high school courses opened in Berlin ten years ago. Prominent in this work have been such educators of note as Helene Lange in Berlin, Eliza beth Gnauck- -Kuhne in Leipsic, and those veterans of the movement, now passed away, Louise Otto-Peters of Leipsic and Matilde Weber of Tubin- gen.

ORGANIZED CAPITAL ACCEPTS THE ISSUE

The anthracite coal strike of 1902 gave the employers a sudden percep- ton of the immense power of union ism and was followed by tremen> dous movement toward organization of employers. This new Employers Association movement is discussed in the July MeGlure's by Ray Stannard Baker, in an article entitled Organ ized Capital Challenges Organized La bor." MT Bakers paper is an extraor- dinarily interesting description of an absolutely new condition, for, before we have realized it. both labor and capital have multiplied their organ ized forces enormously. The battle lines are long-and resemble each oth- CT.
 MT Baker brings out the singular similarity between the labor unions and the employers associations. They are alike in methods of reasoning, plans of campaign and in limitations. Both have become inflated. There areswat- ered'' labor unions One uses the strike; the other the lockout. Both use the boycott. Employers sharply criticize the sympathetis strike, and yet some of them apply the sympathetic lockout against the unions. There are "scabs' on both sides. Employers force men to join them just as unions do. Employers rail against picketing I and themselves use detective spies. Both rush to the courts for 1nJunc- tons 'judge-made laws"-the thing they violently hate in each other.
 There are two general causes for the present movement toward the organi- l zation Of employers: First realization of the powers of unions; second, the excesses of the false power of inflated ! Tnionism There are two kinds or ennIoyers' associations those who want to fight the union and those who want to deal with the unions. The first say: seYes, we believe in union ism. but damn the unions The oth- I CTS say: "Yes, we believe in unions, but we want to deal with them ami I cably."
 MT Baker gives a detailed account of this second type of employers assocla- ton by telling the story of the Chicago Metal Trades association, and finally sets down certain general conclusions that are most important.
 I. Both sides have an equal right tc organize.
 ?. Employers associations cannot re I fuse to the unions the same rights and the same methods of fighting which 
 they themselves exercise and vice yer sa. If one side boycotts and ''slugs' I and uses injunctions, the other side will use the same weapons. If one side deals fair it will get fair dealing from the other side sooner or later.
 3. Absolutely stable and continuing conditions are not possible in industry any more than in any bother depart
 ment of life; both sides must be pre- pared for constant readjustment and for the constant concessions.
 4. The condition at present. most fa vorable to industry would seem to bt
 one of strong. well disciplined. reason ] able organization on both sides. A great disparity of strength always
 1aeans the abuse of power by the mos ] vigorous organization.
 5. Organization always presumes { fighting force. as each nation has it' , standing army, but the prime objec should be peace.
 6. The same quantities of fair-des
 ing. honesty and personal contact T

SPEAKER CANNON AND
 LEADER WILLIAMS

Every member on both sides of the house likes John Williams. To ana- lyze his popularity is not so easy. But it can be safely said that it is not his beauty which first attracts one, for his pulchritude is of the singed-cat va riety. Indeed, I do not think hNn so beautiful as Uncle Joe. On this point there would hardly be enough dissent CTS in the house to demand the yeas and nays. Uncle Joe has rtlddy com plexion that matches well with pink carnations, now universally recognized as the insignia of republican leader ship. John is somewhat swarthy and has a sort of compromise complexion on which his party ought to be willing to get together but it is healthy and natural. He has never used any skin food or done any grating. Uncle Joe has also sort of a cockey look, as if he knew he would get his hay all in before it rained, putting his thumbs in the arm holes of his vest and oft times tipping his cigar up few de- grees from the plane of it's orbit just to emphasize the security of American | institutions. John has a f1ercer mien, is somewhat more cumulative in appear ance, holds one hand to his ear for he is slightly deaf) and in the heat of 1 QeDaCo ms ndlT SeeHlS lo IlSe up anu cry for liberty. He has sort of lean and hungry look, as if 1t were always just before dinner, while Uncle Joe wears on all occasions a post prandial aspect. suggestive of that peace and plenty. which comports well with cer-
 tain blanks of. his party platform.
 John misuses tobacco a little now and then and Uncle Joe has been knowa to use cigar ashes to keep the moths esz=s
 of his clothes. There are, in truth, some points about these two men as 1 like as their family haling ports in old
 Carolina And though fastidious crit ics may assert that the line of beauty
 never touched either one of them I still they are both good to look at fo1 Leslie's Monthly.
