LABOR DICTATOR

clares he is ready to go before the in

Driscoll said that while he was labor
dictator of Chicago he had settled or
avoided about four hundred strikes,
and had paid about $4,000 to labor
officials for that purpose.
Methods Of Dictator.
The method used by Driscoll, accord
ing to his own statement, was this:
An employer, or an organization of en-
ployers who was affected by strike, or
who were likely to be, would call and
ask him to use his influence to bring
about an adjustment of the difficulty.
The fees, according to Driscoll, paid
the union men ranged from 800 to
thousands Of dollars, the aggregate be-
ing estimated at $4,000.
Driscoll declares that he never re-
ceived a dollar of this money for his
efforts in averting trouble except from
ing as secretary.
~ will prove that this is absolutely
true,'' said Mr.. Driscoll, tby the evil
dence that I have on hand. The
charges that I have been a CRATER;
that I have paid money to bring about
strikes; that I conspired with union Of
ficials to levy blackmail on employers
under threat Of strikes, are all made OF
whole cloth. $3.50 . =
Tired Of Being Abused.

these charges. I want every. business

Brilliant conversationalists are
found only in society plays.
With all the modern ingenuity of
man, boots are as hard as ever to get
on.
How woman enjoys telling other
women that her husband thinks she
works too hard.
When a man wants to compliment
barkeeper's whisky he doesn't
drink water after it.
There is one comparison we never
yet heard a man make; his first
wife's children with his second
wife's.
Forgiveness may be divine, but
there is state of affairs much more
heavenly. To be able to get along
without needing it.
1t becomes a matter of economy
to have more than one baby; one
child isn't an infant long enough to
wear our the baby buggy.
When a woman is so old she can
not see how much powder she has on
without putting on her glasses to
look in the mirror, she ought to stop
using it.
When the women see the heroine
in the hero's arms on the stage; when
they read in the last chapter in a
book that the hero and heroine are
embracing, how they applaud! But
when they see the man next door
kiss his wife bood-by before starting
for work how they laugh and wonder
"how long will it last"

When a girl says young man is

Tell a married woman she is a

happy.
The wise virgin never distributes

If it wasn't for women the cynic

Scandal is the devils merry-go-

The men who believes there

Some divorces are based upon in
compatibility of finances.
Love generally dies from heart
disease.
1t is quite impossible to be happy
in spite of riches.
When a man has more money than
he knows what to do with, it stands
to reason that he isn't married.
Men are what women make them,
and the world is full of masculine
fools.
The devil doesn't care how meek

DIVORCES.
The United States Grants More
Than Europe. Canada and
Australia Combined.

Recent exposures of the divorce
situation have again brought the
question: Is marriage a failure?"
before the public. The fact that
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Kansas
City and Seattle count their divorces
at the rate of one to every four mar
riages is all the more significant
when it is known that Paris, long
famed for the laxity of its morals.
records nineteen marriages to every
divorce. In 1901 Paris had 9,404
more marriage than Chicago and 4S6
less divorces. Nor is it only in
France that the United States suf-
fers by con parison. Europe. even
with Canada and Australia added,
falls far short of this country in the
total number of divorces granted.
The statistics complied by the
United States Commissioner of La
Dor show that the increase in the
number of divorces granted in this
country has been at the rate of "a
per cent a year. On this basis those
permitted in 1905 will number 49,
$50. On the other hand, recent sta
tistics of Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Switzerland, Belgium. Swe-'
den, Russia, and the Netherlands
show that the increase in Europe and
Australia for 1905 at 23,127.
If, therefore, the increase has been
maintained at ga per cent a year, as
every indication would seem to
point, the United States at the pres
ent time issues each year as many
divorces as Europe, Canada and Aus
tralia combined.

Origin of the Cocktail.

There has been much curiosity as
to the origin of the name cocktail. &"
At last some one has come forward
with an answer to this much disput-

sounds plausible. In the early days,
when doctors used strenuous meth

Of treating certain disease of the
