It is against the law to employ
 any child under fourteen years of rage to work in any factory, shop, .lstore or elsewhere. The reason for this law is based on the fact that a
 child should not be housed up before he reaches fourteen. For several years past but little attention has been paid to the law in some parts of the country. Now an association has been formed to see that the law is obeyed. An inspector visited a large machine shop in Philadelphia recently and found a number of It, tie urchins at work, some of them working in front of a large furnace. What made it worse is that it was at night and these little ones worked ten hours. The sanitary conditions were bad. One little fellow who was getting three dollars a week stated that his father did not work, and the wages he~got went to support him. The owner of this plant is noted philanthropist and thought it an awful thing for an inspector to visit his place, and he engaged a lawyer to defend him. Young children should be protected from themselves in their eagerness to leave school to work. and the law against employing children under fourteen should be strictly enforced.

HER STORY roo TRUE
Russian Procurator Confirms
 Girls Tale of Cruelty.
BEATEN WITH WHIPS AND RIFLES.
After Arrest For Shooting M.Luxhen. offsky Mile. Spiridonovo Was Drag ged by Hair and Inhumanly
 Used by Cossacks.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-The procurator at Tambov has investigat- ed the case of Mile. Spiridonovo, the seventeen-year-old girl who shot M.
 Luzhenoffsky, chief of the secret po- lice of Tambov, and who, it has been alleged, was treated in prison with ex- treme cruelty.
 The procurator reported that he found the allegations of cruelty to be correct, but the minister of war has asked the minister of justice to take no action until the military authorities can make separate investigation. The case of Mile. Spiridonoyo is at- tractlng great attention, and the pa- pers are filled with letters from people Of all classes demanding the prosecu- tion of the girls prosecutors.
 After her arrest for, shooting NJ. iLuEhenoffsky the girl was. knocked down and beaten by Cossacks with whips and rifle butts. She was then dragged by her hair downstairs to a sleigh, taken to the police station, un- dressed and thrust into damp, cold cell, where she was subjected to eleven hours of torment in order to force her to reveal the names of her accom- plices.
 Mile. Spiridonovo said that two off, cers repeatedly kicked her back and forth across her cell. tearing her hair. burning her flesh with their cigarettes and threatened her with abandonment to the Cossacks unless she confessed. Her skull was fractured in two places, one eye was injured, and her body was a mass of bruises from head to foot.
