Devices for Shabby GenteeI.

In the present cold weather, 8
dozen or so of the homeless have
been taking refuge every night in
the postofice, where the air is we'll
warmed. Though the pinch of
hunger and exposure, they seem
generally to be of a better class
than hoboes who flock to the city
lodging house. There is a sort
of shabby responsibility about
their makeup.
The wonder is when or where
they sleep. They have to remain
standing in the postofice and they
dare not even doze on their feet
for fear of the Waterman. A few
of the holder ones make no bones
about it that they are there for
shelter. They look out of the
windows and even gossip. a little
together. The greener and timid-
er ones invent pathetic pretenses
for staying under cover One man
scans the lists of unclaimed let
ters for an hour at a time, though
he cannot read them in the dim
light unless he has eyes of a cat.
Another has a soiled envelope, a
crumpled sheet of paper and a
pencil. He pretends all night to
be writing q letter.
One of the most timid of all
comes in at one end of the build
ing. He has something that looks
like a letter in his hand. He
reads the legends over all the
drop boxes, wakes around to the
other side and goes up and down
reading them there. as if he could
not find the right slot, He spends
five minutes or SO, until he gets
thoroughly warmed, and then he
slips his letter into his pocket and
goes out. He is back again IN ten
minutes blue with cold, goes over
the same old game and out again,
and so on all night.-New York

CURRENT COMMENT.

A Legislature in session is a
present reminder of the many ills
a State ls heir to in the way of
petty legislation. The Legisla-
ture considers many questions
that should be left to the regular
monthly meetings of county COM
missioners. AS a usual thing,
our county commissioners are
poorly paid for their services, but
this could easily be remedied and
legislation in line with a %county's
needs could be more easily brought
about by vesting them with a
little authority that is taken up
by the Legislature on matters
which serve as a blockade to other
questions of more Importance
Stanly Enterprise.
Says the Washington Post:
''Old Geronimo will appear in the
inaugural parade, but it would be
an act of discretion to not allow
him to get into the same division
with Gen. Miles," They can hunt
up an old cutthroat and scalper
like that for spectular purposes
but If some of the 81 fighters
against the government we're here
they wouldn't be invited to Off
ciate at a cat fight.

The trouble with those who do

bad policy for the State but like

counties. A small extra tax will

Young Fools That Marry.

A green boy without a dollar,
present or prospective, sparkling a
girl regular and talking about
marrying is a spectacle for gods
and men. He should be reasoned
with, and if he will not quit un-
til he is able to support a wife and
SO know who he loves and the diff
ference between love and passion,
he should be quarantined, or put
in a convent erected Oh purpose
for sucn cases. Nine-tenths of
the unhappy marriages are the
result of green human calves be-
ing allowed to run at large in the
society pasture without yokes on
them. They marry and have
children before they have mus
taches, they are fathers of twins
before they are proprietors of pants
and the little girls they marry
are old women before they are
twenty. Occasionally one Of these
gosling marriages turns out very
we'll. but it is q clear case of ac-
cldent.
If there was a law against young
galoots sparkling and before they
have cut all their teeth, we sup
pose the little cusses would evade
it in some way, but there ought
to be sentiment against it. 1t is
time for these bantams to think
Of finding q pullet when they have
raised money by their own work
to buy a bundle of lathes to build
a coop for her.
But they see a girl who looks
cunning and they are afraid there
are not going to be enough girls
to go around and they begin to
get in their work real spry, and
before they are aware of the n
tity of the marriage relation they
are hitcled for life, and before
they own a cook stove or q bed
stead they have to get up in the
night and go after the doctor, SO
frightened that they run them
selves out of breath, and then
abuse the doctor because he does
not run too, and when the doctor
gets there he finds there is not
enough linen to wrap q, doll baby
in, About this time he realizes
that he has been a colossal, and
as he flies around to heat the wa.
ter and bring the bath tub, goes
whooping after hia mother or her
mother; he turns pale around the
gllls, his hair turns red in q sin-
gle night and he calls high heaven
to witness that if he lives till
morning, which he seriously
doubts, he will turn over a new
leaf Sandwich.

The Future of the Labor Problem

The Future of the Labor Problem
The present chaotic state of thing,
should be transient. the paralyzing un
certainty that now hangs over many
kinds Of business should be forever
removed and something far better than
perpetual strikes and lockouts should
determine the pay OF labor. says Pro
fessor John b. Clark, in Harper's Mag
azine for April. Not even in New
Zealand and Australia have the pos
sibilities OF arbitration been fully test
ed, and there should be q perfecting
OF that measure In our country. which
Is In greatest need OF It. The strike
should become potential rather than ac.
tunl, a resource TO be held in reserve
and seldom resorted to. There should
be a method or accomplishing all that
the strike tries TO do without stopping
production. With such things accom-
plished-with the general wages sys-
ten lifted TO a higher plane the need
OF profit sharing OF the old type will.
indeed, be- somewhat less. but the
chance for securing il will be better.
and IN several different forms we may
see IL extensively in operation. The
gains OF the great corporations of the
future may be shared by its employees.
and these gains themselves may not
be- tainted with injustice.
