CIGAR SHOP READER.
The Place He Fills Is an Important
 One for Employer and His Fellows.

The reader in a cigar factory Is an important parsonage. Mounted on dais near the center of the room, with a skylight directly overhead, he sits in a comfortable chair and reads to the workmen the news of the world, fiction, history, political economy, poetry and selections that may be requested.
 He is not employed by the owner or manager of the cigar factory, but is selected by committee of the workmen. He is paid usually about $20 a week.
 First, the daily papers are taken up and the telegraph news of the world is read. Where no paper printed in Spanish can be obtained containing press dispatches the read CT translates the English text, after first reading it aloud for the benefit of the American workmen who may not understand Spanish. After the telegraphic report comes the local news and then the editorials. Thus the first half hour is spent. Never more than one-half an hours reading is required of the reader at one time.
 After his first rest the reader takes up some serial, usually Spanish TO- nance. and devotes the next half hour to this. Then comes another rest in which the workmen discuss with their immediate working partners the merits of the story. the probable fate of the hero or the villain and also the author.
 Light literature occupies the next half hour of the readers attention, conundrums, comments and fol-de rol.
 History is then taken up, Cuban history, Spanish history, the histo- ries of various European countries. and especial attention is paid to the history of the United States.
 In the afternoon reading half hours the reader presents selections from the writings of world famous men of letters. The course has been mapped out by the committee ap- pointed for that purpose. and the reader must follow the committees selections.
 How the factories came to be pro- vided with readers for the worksaen is of interest It is a well establish ed fact that people of the Latin races will use their hands. arms, shoulders or heads when they talk to empha- size their remarks. The Cuban or the Spaniard cannot talk two min- utes without waiving his hands and shrugging his shoulders. It is sec ond nature to him. and he can't help 1t.
 Now a cigarmaker has to use both hands in making a cigar. and. as a cigarmaker cannot talk and work at the same time a rule prohibiting talk ing in the factory In working hours is an absolute necessity.
 Tradition has 1t that shortly after the first cigar factory was establish ed in Havana. the owner, seeking to get as much work as possible from the employees and knowing their fondnezs for stories. hit upon the happy idea of having a good reader read to the men an interesting story in working hours
 Then the managers stopped en- ploying readers. strfkes followed and finally an agreement was reach ed that the managefs would install readers stands in convsaisnt loea-

tions and the workmen would select the readers and pay them and have a committee to select the class of literature. This plan has been car ried out for a century or more and works admirably.
 The readers selected are all well educated, and their reading has. as a rule, good effect. It has encourag- ed many workmen to take up courses of study and thus become well in- formed. upon all matters of interest. New York Tribune.

ing majority. The question of issu
ing license or no license was then
brouaht before the remaining mem.
bels Of the Council and bv them de.
cided that license should not be
granted. Since that time another
reclamation took place. 80 Wa had
four RESERVATIONS within q period OF
few weeks alter last SDrina's cleo.
ton. Ever since we have been busy
with special elections. and this even
ing is the first time within four
months that the CITY has been reDre.
sented bv the full number of alder.
men at its meetings. The condition
of the affairs of the CITY. owing to
the contention existing in the past.
has not been the best. and I am in
hopes that Willmar will never exDe-
rience q similar condition again
I do not believe that all of voa are
fully aware of the conditions as thew
actually existed nor the seriousness Of
the case. We have again full quo
ia of aldermen, notw outstanding the
fact that they are divided against
themselves on the question that caus
ed the trouble this Spring and Sum-
mer.
We have had special elections In
three of the four wards in the citv.
Two tickets were in the field In each
of these wards. and the lines were
verv closely drawn. There was a
license and q no license ticket in
each ward and in each one of these
wards the license ticket won out bv
a good majority. From this it seems
evident that the citizens OF Willmar
wish another trial of the license s>s.
tenn. do not know whether thi
chance of heart bv the people of
Willmar means disaDDroval of the
present administration or not, will
be bold enouah to saw. however. that
do not believe this to be the case.
From these special elections and the
wav that the vote has gone 1t seems
d tho there need be no doubt but the
majority of the citizens are clamor-
ing for Il change of some kind. Thew
seem to be of the opinion that the
license did not have a fair trial last
time. and for that reason the people
Of Willmar must want trial again
to demonstrate for q certainty wheth-
or thew in the future wish the CITY
run under q license or q no license
system. wish to say that this ad-
minis*ration has done its best in the
uast to enforce the law and has done
everything within their. power to
furnish the oitv with a GOOD clean

there are none any more anxious
than I AN to see the town Drosoer and
grow In peace and harmony. do not
think that there ia anv one here pres
ont tonight but will admit that dur.
ing these late elections we have had
the ueoD3 have demonstrated the fact
rthat thew want another trial of the
license question. With these facts
staring one in the face it seams to
have become nv simple duty to bow
to the will OF the people in this res.
Dect nc matter how Objectionable it
NAV seem. Majorities are supposed
to rule in this country in all in
stances. and as the majority have spo-
ken on this question. I do not SUPPOSE
it is anv more than just and right
that their wishes prevail. I believe
we are all aware of the fact that
considerable talk has been made bv
both sides in regard to this license
question. and it has been debated in
the homes and on the streets thorolv
and the majority ssem to have come
TO the conclusion that they want
what thew term q fair aud unbiased
trial so to forever decide the question
as to which system is good and which
is bad. I will promise the citizens
o Willmar that all that can be done
will be done during the remainder of
nv adm Illustration to enforce the law
in everv respect. There are ONLY
about six months to the next election
and the citizens of Willmar will bv
that time have had a trial of the H.
cense system and thew can at that
election determine bv their ballot
whether thew want license or not and
settle the question: for good.
Some seem to be in favor of license
for business reasons onlv, and some
in favor of license for other reasons.
From a business standpoint I wish to
saw that the arguments used bv some
in that direction are not verv
