IN HOTEL. LoBBiEs
colleelans at Home.

The unusual number of young fellows
with athletic figures and pipes stuck in
their mouths reminds me that the col
leg1an is at home for the summers said
man about town last night. Even If
the college boys did not wear class caps,
fraternity badges and carry pipes and
canes it would be easy to distinguish
them from the rest of humanity. In the
hrst place they have the appearance Of
being out for a good time and work is
far removed from their well tailored fig
ures. They have an air of great import
ance and moreover. give themselves away
by score of those academic airs which
are SO easily contracted after the fresh
man year is passed. Just now the col
leglans seem to be more anxious to keep
informed as to the baseball scores than

sage in regard to eliminating vacations
in favor of continuous work"

THEORY AND PRACTICE
OF SPANKING A WIFE

A husbands right to spank his wife
has perhaps existed in law ever since
law began But for the NEST part 1t has
existed in the law alone. The law has
ever declared the husband to be the head
of a house but in most cases the wife
has seen to it that he is only the figure
head.
Possibly every husband might enjoy
the privilege OF spanking his wife if he
were content to take her into court to
do it. But this would be announcement.
Besides, the husband would be wise first
to consider what might happen after she
should get him back home.
OF course, man is physically superior
and ordinarily might spank his wife If he
would. But no bachelor can be expected
to know the wiles by which a wife can
conquer her stronger husband through her
very weakness. AS rule, the husband
who could spank his wife wouldn't and the
one who would couldn't.
A bachelor judge may know the law.
But he doesn't know = husband and wife.

If a man is in love with a girl she can

she can guess YOU are thinking it.

THE ROSE.
BY Andrew Lang

BY Andrew Lang.
See. Mignonne, hath not the Rose,
That this morning did unclose
Her purple mantle to the light.
Lost, before the day be dead,
The glory of her raiment red,
Her color, bright as yours is bright
oh, Mignonne, in how few hours,
The petals of her purple flowers
All have faded, fallen, died;
Sad nature, mother ruinous,
Thas seest thy fair child perish thus
'Twixt matin song and eventide.
Hear me- my darling, speaking sooth.
Gather the fleet flower of your youth.
Taking your pleasure at the best;
Be merry ere your beauty fit.
For length of days will tarnish it
Like roses that were loveiiesr

New Jerseys Special Session.

Some people have called it absurd
and preposterous for Governor Murphy
of New Jersey to call a special session
of the Legislature, for the sole purpose
of passing a bill prohibiting pigeon
shooting. 1t is true that it was a
matter of sentiment" which prompted
the governors proclamation, and it was
a matter of sentiment on the part OF
the people of the state who appealed
to him to take such a step. but it was
a sentiment highly creditable to the
people of New Jersey, and that Cover
nOr Murphy recognized it's force and
acted accordingly is eminently credi-
ought to have been attended to at the
regular session. but as long as it was
rot attended to then, New Jersey is to
be congratulated that a special session
was called to enact a law preventing
the demoralizing influence of brutal
pastilne, which has been most map
proDriately termed form of sport.
Those who call the action of Governor
Murphy preposterous and unpre-
cedented are probably the few people
who are making dollar out of trap
shooting, and also the local politicians
"ho profited by having the sport
protected against Legislative influence.
But the wisdom of Governor Murphy's
policy was most emphatically vindl-
Gated by the Overwhelming by which
the pigeon bill was passed. 1t is posi-
BILE that some of those who voted
AYE" when their names were called did
so mainly because they realized the
potency Of the sentiment which Cover
nor Murphy had the courage to respond
to. Sentiment of a right kind has won
4 notable victory in New Jersey. May
it be a long day before that state, or
any other has a governor who hesitates
to call special session of the
Legislature when the people demand it
in cause that is humane and noble.

The Settlement Of Labor Disputes.

| Representatives of both capital and
! labor oppose the bill now before Con-
gress for the establishment OF
national board of arbitration to settle
labor disputes. Although the bill on
, the face of it has much to recommend
it, its passage is altogether improbable.
AS the work of the board provided for
in the bill would be wholly voluntary.
it is difficult to see upon what ground
sound objection to the measure can be
made. Even if it did not accomplish
any good, it certainly could do no
harm. and anything which tends to
! prevent strikes or minimize their effects
| should be welcomed and encouraged by
every good citizen. 1t is possible that
the opposition to the bill arises through
some fear that it might lead to COM
pulsory arbitration, such as already
prevails in Australia and some
European countries. If such forced
settlement of labor disputes were the
! rule in this country, it would doubtless
save much misery and enormous waste
Oh money, but there is hardly prospect
| that it will ever be established. as both

something which would give the other
fellow the long end of the bargain.

officially estimated at s1O,GO00OQ. This
| was practically all in the building
| trades, but indirectly many other lines
of business suffered. There is a
bureau of arbitration in New York, but
it was able to accomplish very little,
ard what il did do concerned only 1000
! men. The walking delegates and
agitators lined their pockets. and pro-
flied at the expense of the idle working
men and their suffering families.
Bishop Spaulding, who speaks from
a wide knowledge, declares that General
Sherman's famous definition of war
could as properly be applied to strikes.
If Il national board of arbitration could
in any way assist in the work which is
row left undone in large measure by
state boards and various committees
! and councils. the average citizen fails
to see why it should not be established.
