She had slept poorly, and had discov-
cred that her husband had loaned a dol
lar to Capt. Bond. She ate breakfast
with ferocious CLEAN in her eyes, which
chilled the blood of the captain, and di-

Mister Grande," said Mrs. Raggett,
"you will do me the favor of leaving
this house and board"
Monsieur Grande made no move to
leave. He sat, as if stunned, in his room.
Mrs. Raggett was woman of prompt
action. She summoned a ragged, Stat
tern of a man, called Pete, who did odd
jobs for enough to buy drink, and or
dered him to carry the monsieur's scanty
furniture out on the sidewalk.
The neighbors gathered, as the small
pile of effects were placed alongside the

When the last piece of furniture was out
of the room, Pete grasped the arm OF
the old man, as he leaned against the
wall, and began to drag him out. Then
something happened. Pete lay down,
suddenly, on the floor, his head striking
the boards with a thump, and Capt. Rag
gett, his face as red as lobster, escorted
the old man carefully down stairs.
Pathetically, the old man perched
himself on the pile of his household
goods; and concealed his face with his
hands. The neighbors looked on, 81
lently. Many of them had undergone
the same misfortune in their time, and
their sympathy was not the less, because
they were silent. They were not wont to
be expressive of their emotions.

WILL INVESTIGATE
STRIKE BREAKERS
Department of Commerce and Labor to
Find Out Where Packers Are Get
ting So Many Immigrants.

The fact that large numbers OF immi-
grants have been taken direct from
Ellis Island to Chicago and immediate
" given employment by the beef pack
ers has been called to the attention Of
President Roosevelt
The immigrants are taking the places
of the strikers. Labor leaders. II is
understood, declare that the promptness
with which these aliens are given en-
plovment would indicate a violation of
the contract labor laws.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor has been for some months pur-
suing an investigation into the affairs
OF the beef trust Secretary Metcalf
has been instructed to have this new
phase Of the controversy thoroughly in
vestigated.
The President is anxious 10 bring
about an adjustment of the present diff
ferences between capital and labor in
tho Windy City and close friends Of the
Administration declare that he will have
solved the problem that has deeply per
picked him If IL is discovered that, the
claims of the opponents of the beef
trust are true.

The YonkeTS Police.

The policemen of Yonkers are
caught in dilemma. A certain num-
Der of them are mounted, the others
not. 1t has been found by the
Humane Society that the mounted
police are so heavy that they are
wearing out the horses, and that want
of exercise makes them grow fatter
continually The Humane Society
therefore has taken the matter in
hand and suggested that the fat po-
liceman be obliged to walk off their
fat, and the thin policemen take
their places on the horses.
1t will seem to the average reader
that a policeman who is big and fat
enough to wear out his horse ought
not to be on the force at all. But per-
haps the town government has been
trying 10 be economical in horses.
There ought to be horses big and
strong enough to carry the policemen
without Inconvenience. Look at the
chargers of medieval times, which
were accustomed to carry on their
backs knights in full armor with all
accoutermentsi
But there is another point in the
story, and it is this. While the fat
policemen. are getting thin they will
have to do their work all the same.
Suppose a spry young thief should
frisk up to the fruit stand on the po-
iceman's beat, loot the stand, and
run. How much chance would the
fat policeman have of catching him?
And supposing a slim scoundrel
should commit a murder or a bur
glary and make his escape over the
housetops? What corld a 300 pound
guardian of the law do about that?
1t seems as if it would be more
practicable to give the fat policemen
a short leave, and make them diet
and exercise diligently all the time
until reduced 10 the requisite weight

A Changing Bell.

Adjutant General Sherman NJ. Bell,
of Colorado, has sent word TO his able
lieutenant, the governor Of the State,
that the Cripple Greek district is not
yet sufficiently intimidated to make
advisable the governors order 70
withdraw the militia Not enough
miners and citizens have been deport-
ed without considering legal formali-
ties, not enough knees have been
bowed nor backs bent at the behest
of the lordly Bell
Governor Peabody remarks that he
has called of the militia; now let
the unions call of the strike"
Whereupon Treasurer Hay
wood, of the union, replies that the
calling of of the militia has not the
slightest logical bearing upon the
proposition to call of the strike"
A reasonable deduction from this
state of affairs declares that abso-
lutely not a step Of progress has been
made toward a settlement between
mine owners and miners by the inter-
vention Of martial law or by the con-
dition of actual warfare that has pre-
vailed in the Cripple Greek district
for nearly a year; and this deduction
confirms conservative Colorado opln-
ion that had the adjutant general
practiced the sound principle that a
man can get twice as much by tact as
he can by bullying, there would have
been no need Of martial law.
Just to see Sherman Bell walk
down the street is enough to make
the average man mad" said a leading
Denver citizen and prominent lawyer
a few weeks ago; and the amount Of
madness in Colorado would indicate
that Sherman Bell had been doing a
whole lot of perambulating in public.
Governor Peabody might well con-
tinue this pedestrianism by walking
Bell out of the Office Of the adjutanr
general.

New Laws Are Needed.

Secretary Metcalf, of the Depart

that the National Government is alb
solutely powerless to prevent a steam
boat, the equipment of which has
been found dangerously defective.
from making as many trips-and
thereby jeopardizing the lives OF
those who are foOlhardy enough to
embark on her-as her lessees please.
This decision was arrived at after
ali the lawyers of the department had
searched the antiquated inspection
regulations for three days. The posi-
ton in which this puts the Govern
ment is self-evident. In this connec-
ton it should not be forgotten that
Secretary Cortelyou recommended
new inspection laws at the last session
of Congress, and that his recon-
mendations were mysteriously buried
in committee, presumably at the be-
hest of the interests which the laws
would have affected.
1t should also be remembered that
had Congress done its duty at that
time the General Slocum disaster,
which cost one thousand lives, might
never have occurred, nor would the
Government of the United States now
be in a position to be defed by the
callous recklessness of the men, who
declare that they do not propose 10
have the Government officials inter
fering with their business.
Congress will meet again next De-
cember, and one of the first things TO
be considered should be the laws gov
erning steamboat inspections. They
should be made so plain and so dras-
tic that no court could question the
right of the Federal Government to
assert its authority when the lives Of
its citizens were in danger.

Would Have President

Joseph c. Sibley of Pennsylvania. who
is serving his sixth term in Congress,
and viii stand for reelection this fall
was a returning passenger on the
Cunard liner Campania. which arrived
today The Campania made the run
from Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook in
five days, sixteen hours, and forty-eight
minutes.
In speaking of the political situation
Mr.. SiOley declared himself absolutely
opposed to the plan of allowing any
man 10 hold the Office of President
twice. He said that at the next session
he would introduce a bill to lengthen
the Presidents term Of Office 20 six
years. and make it impossible for one
man 70 serve more than one term.
Stop Business Depression.
That would prevent the national
business excitement which plays such
havoc with our trade every four years"
said he And the knowledge that he
could be President but once would deter
the incumbent from doing the many
things which Presidents do toward the
end of theiI first terms in the hope Of
being elected again. 1t would make
honesty and a clean Administration the
ton. And it would remove the prin-
cipal cause Of trade commissions"

man says that his wife once beat him
with a hairbrush until it broke. 1t
would be interesting to know which
side Of the hairbrush vas used. Mere
ly to be hit with the fiat side might
be endurable. but think of being
pounded with a club full of bristles!
It all goes to prove, however, that
when two people disagree they will
use whatever weapon chances to be
at hand to express their feelings, if
they are of the type which seeks re-
lief in personal violence. Primitive
human nature is pretty much the
same and where the cave man or
woman used a club or a stone, the
modern Chicago man or woman uses
gas jets and hair brushes. There is a
chance for some of the delicate SEN
timental theorists 10 figure out the
amount of real home life which exists
in homes where the husband and wife
have the habit of throwing things.
Radical domestic disagreement is
one Of the things in which theories
fail. On general principles, of course,
it is best for self-respecting beings to
avoid disagreements, since these
things can rarely be patched up with
out leaving some scar. In the process
