LATE HARVEST.

Sometimes it doesn't pay for a city Ito deal gently with a mob. For in- stance. Chicago is reaping what she sowed in the Debs strike of 1894, A jury has just brought in a verdict of s1OO.O00 against the city in favor of the Panhandle railroad for the burning of its freight cars in the strike riots The railroad sued for S14O.OOO. The jur- ors decided that $4OOOO was represent ed by merchandise in transit and that the city should not be held responsible for this, but they held that the city could not escape financial liability for the failure of the authorities to curb the mob and prevent the burning of the cars.
 Eleven years is some time to wait for justice in such matter, but railroad can suffer and be strong. Frequently it has to, as any railroad President will testify.

SYMPATHY FOR THE SUMMER
 WIDOW"

Somebody ought to say a word for the wife, remarked a husband desert ed for the summer by his family to a friend the other night. The head of the house was leaning back in an easy chair on the porch of his home in the neglige attire which the season and the absence of the women folks seems to bring about.
 Our sympathy goes out to that man. he went on, because that is the accept ed way of regarding the head of a family who is left at home by his family in the summer time. The fact is, tat he does not deserve half as much as the wife, who is spending the season away from her home and is ob- liged to look after pack of Children. Just think for instance, of being tied down to children from one days end to the other, as compared with entire re- lief from the burden of responsibilitl of their care, which includes their safetl as we'll as their health"
 That is not much of change for some men, interposed his friends, flor they don't pay much attention to their children at any time in the year"
 "Yes, I know" was the repoinder; they apparently prefer to take the trouble later on. when both the boys and girls are likely to get into more serious difficulties. There ifs the case when they are young. It is generally considered the better plan to look after tho ahi1TYnt, haY ,;1sn their habits, but of course, that is a matter of choice. There is one thing certain of this sort cant be evaded.
 When the summer time comes and the family leave the city, then the entire duty falls on the wife In one sense she may be enjoying the luxury of a cool climate. while her husband c@tinues at work in the sultry temperature of the city and comes home at the close of the day to an empty house. All the sam e, she is worried lest the boys get drowied while in bathing, or that some one of the hundred things which might happen to the average boy should materialize in the case of one of her darlings. "The husband, not being on the spot, i is not aut to realize such contingencies, and is perfectly free to do with his time as he may choose. He is therefore not subject to the worries and responsi- biities of bringing up children and is enjoying a vacation, but under the popular guise of a deserted and lonely man.
 That is the fact of the matter but if we are going to the club this evening
