THE WORLDS NEED
a sTlckLEss BUREAU DRAWER.
SAYS MR.. SHORTLY.
His Experience Has Shown Him How
Much the Human Race Would
Be Benefited by Such an
Invention.

"A fortune. a large, a mountainous
fortune said Mr. shortly awaits the
furniture manufacturer who will put
on the market a bureau with drawers
that won't stick
AS it is. I suppose that half the bu-
reaus in the Norid have drawers that
cant be opened without a struggle.
that couldn't be entirely closed with
out a mall and that could not then be
opened without an axe. ! have one
such bureau myself--a bureau with
drawers that will never close entirely;
bureau that tries me sorely, and
am man OF even temper
III bureaus OF this sort affect a man
of my self-command I'm this manner,
what must their effect be upon
myrads Of people of dispositions more
eXcitable and explosive? See what
trouble one of these sticky drawer bu.
reaus has brought TO friend of mine
He was nice man, but inipulsiye
and somewhat given to seliindul-
gence. and he fought with himself un-
| til one after another he had cut out
all his vices except swearing and last
/ spring he cut that out and came forth
that strongest of all men the man who
has conquered himself In that splen-
did strength he continued until day
/ before yesterday when he fell
"On that day, confident OF his own
strength OF mind, never doubling
never thinking OF it In fact he had
! become now as he supposed go settled
in his power OF selfcontrul he tried
to get collar out of his top bureau
drawer
This drawer had stuck before. but
up TO that day he had always managed
to open II somehow, and what was far
! greater. to keep his temper In opening
It; but on that day IL wedged and
stuck aud resisted in a manner that
would have tried any man and that
proved, alas! too much in the end.
for my friend
For when the drawer wouldn't /
come. anyway. a cloud seemed To come
over his mind. and he grasped the two
handles of Il with his two hands and
planted his foot firmly against the
face of the drawer below and pushed
with that while he pulled on the draw
er. viciously
The drawer did yield at last, hut
when that came the bureau went over
under the pressure OF the foot he had
against It.. and the heavily loaded
drawer came down with It's sharp back
edge square ON tke toes of the other
foot
"All the neighbOrs said the win
dows being opened everywhere as az
this season so that all could hear
that they had never heard anything
like IT, never; and my friend has got
60 move All were willing to admit
when they learned the cause. that the
lprovocation had been great, but they
won't take another chance. and my
friend must go.
And all because OF a sticky bureau
drawer,
Bureau builders Think OF the
dement's YOU would confer upon hu.
manlty By making bureaus with draw
ers that would open and close easily!
But I don't appeal TO your philan-
lthropic side J appeal to your cupidity.
A fortune, a Hlmalayan fortune. awaits
the bureau builder who FIRST puts on
THE market bureau with drawers that
won't stick"

4 BETTER PLAN THAN WHIPPING.

Secretary Bonapartes scheme to
whip the daviltry out Of anarchists
appeals more to our sense of the anar-
chists' deserts than to sensible expec-
teton that it's adoption would accom-
plish the reform of the criminal. Dis
passionatel.r considered there is moth
ing in the suggestion of the secretary
: except the possible satisfaction OF
swhir1pine man who deserves whip
ming. There is no occasion to make an
Uncle Tom out of blatant evil dis
positioned fool The futility of the
whipping post as a reformatory agent
has long been proved and acknowl-
edged. 1t failed in the navy and in the
army. 1t has failed always. There is
not less wfebeating in Delaware than
in similar populations elsewhere that
have not set up the whipping post. And
# is an old and well established truth
that theories and creeds, however
crazy they may be, thrive and grow in
the shadow of the pillory.
The true punishment for the con-
frmed and open mouthed anarchist is
work. 1t is the cure for his cousin
german, the tramp. Instead OF the
whining post, the long reaches of the
highway and the roadside camp. In
stead of blood on their backs, sweat on
their brows Instead of prison pallor
the tan of the sun, and instead of Jail

weakness, health and strength, TO face
are anarchists because they have never
learned the lesson of toll. Most tramps
are tramps because they hate work. If
these men knew they must work, for
the state as penalty, or for them
selves for gain, and the certainty that
outside the choice offered. there re-
manned no way except suicide, in all
likelihood they would follow the plane
of least resistance to ordinarily decent
citizenship.
The highways need the men who re-
fuse to labor for themselves and the
world. Men able to work who refuse
TO support their families belong with
the anarchists. They need the lesson
that society has the right to protect
itself by brute force, If necessary. The
state should take these men and make
them useful 1t has this right quite
as certainly as 1t has the responsibility
of educating their children and feed
ing their families.
Round them up all together, anar-
chists. bootleggers petty thieves, men
who live on the labor of their wives,
men who live on the shame of women,
drunkards whose families starve while
they carouse, round them all up un-
der three months sentence with the
certainty that cumulative sentences
will follow relapse. and string lines
of road camps from Clinton to Council
