How to Decorate With Holly.

-; AAOss w OOSOAs~SO SvANA AA0AAJs
Just why holly. has become recog-
nized as carrying the Christmas spirit
in it's red berries and it's stickery
leaves cannot be told, but is whole
Santa Claus to most people. A scrap
of it on an ordinary cake or pudding
or even an ordinary, prosaic PASTE
board box transforms the article into
something that smells of Christmas.
This year home decorations will
mark the change in the fashions,
and instead Of festoons and punches
behind pictures it will be tied in
punches, like bouquets, and fastened
to portieres, curtains and draperies
to hold them in place, and ineach
case there will be a bow of wide
satin ribbon to match the red, For
table decoration it will be laid in
a loose, rather flat pile on the
middle, with the inevitable bow of
ribbon. A small bit Of holly may
be laid at each plate, with menu
card bearing verse suitable for the
occasion and tied with narrower rib
bon. A loosely tied bunch Of holly
hung in the window will take the
place of the stiff wreaths This
adjustment of the ugly wreaths gives
much latitude. for far more artistic
arrangement Of the festive holly with
it's concomitant ribbon.

HOW EMPLOYERS ARE MISLED.

If Mr.. Employer were less busy and
would analyze some of the glowing
offers he would see that his lack of
foresight was being traded upon, and
that he could get for few cents what
he has paid many dollars for.
Some time after he has been traded
upon he finds out the naked truth of
the matter, which is that the proceed
ings Of the convention which he was
informed were SO important Ito. him
and his, were published In full in an
issue of the official magazine, follow
ing the convention, and that he could
have had the magazine for the asking
plus the postage.
Stress is laid by these agencies upon
the fact that they maintain system
of espionage, and that record is
kept Of the secret transactions Of the
employers agency, conveying the idea
that the trade unions were of a GRIM
inal nature and hotbeds of intrigue
against the employing class.
This idea is so entirely erroneous
that it makes the inflated laugh at
it's Righteousness as it Is very seldom
that anything is transacted that will
not stand in hercest searchlight and
pass muster, yet some Of the unsus-
pecting employers will be gulled into
paying good prices for an intangible
nothing.

pot as we'll as the water before pour

COTTON MILL WORKER
IS FAR BEHIND TIMES
Condition of Cotton Mill Workers
in New England Half a
Century Ago.
It Is Not Much Better in Some
Parts of the New South
Today.

This graphic description of the
evils of bygone day in New Eng
land fits sadly we'll the life of
cotton mill workers in our own day
in many parts of the South. Only
the company store. is missing from
the Rhode Island picture, more
modern invention for returning to
the company the lions share of the
wages paid its employees.
How long will, the American
people endure in one part of the
republic oppression and cruelty thus
outgrown in more humane regions?
Stephen, Al Knight a member of
the great cotton firm of B. B. and
R. Knight of Rhode Island has
been seventy-one years in the mills.
He began at six as bobbin boy.
The Knights use more cotton in
their mills than fertile cotton
field the size of all Rhode Island
would produce. Says Mr.. Knight
to the Providence Journal:
During my connection with the
cotton industry I have seen the
hours of work reduced over 80 per
cent. wages Increased some 200 per
cent. such child labor as was the
unquestioned custom of those days
prohibited by law and an increase
in educational and social advant-
ages that we little dreamed Of.
ut was in the spring Of 1895
when began my labors in a cot
ton mill as bobbin boy or back
boy as it was called in those days.
The mill was in the town Of Cov-
entry; its owner was one of the
progressive and Intelligent manufac-
turers of the day who had been
Governor of the state. And yet his
attitude toward his help as illus
trated in the following incident was
such as would not be tolerated to-
day.
1T was his custom to make a
contract with his help on the LIST
of April. On one occasion a mother
Of several children who were en-
ployed in the mill complained that
the pay seemed small and suggest
ed that better contract might be
offered her.
"'You get enough to eat don't
you?' asked the employer.
Just enough to keep the wolf
from the door she replied.

to wear haven't your he continued.
