GOmperS Offered Bribe

pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, declares that he has been offered bribe sufficient to make him independent for life if he will assist in the destruction of the federation. The offer comes from officials of the Manufacturers associa- tion, which has recently announced it's intention of wiping out the labor organizations. Gomper5' statement was made i'll an address before the national convention of the Federation of Labor now in session here, and created intense excitement.
 New York, Nov. 21 - Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, reufses to testify in the Chandler libel suit, on the ground that he might incriminate himself. He is indicted for seducing young girls.
 New York, Nov. 22-Secretary Cor telyou is greatly incensed at the ac- tion of certain Wall street banks in hoarding and investing government deposits in stocks that can now be bought at a bargain, instead Of assist ing in the general relief of the coun- try. He has notified them that un- less a change is made in this seifisL policy, he will immediately withdraw the funds belonging to the govern ment from such concerns. His prompt and vigorous action is heartily en- dorsed by the great majority of the banks of the city which are doing their utmost to relieve the financia. situation. The treastrY departments handling Of the crisis is commend able, in that it shows & disposition tc assist all sections of the United States, rather than few specific interests. The situation is now well in hand money is pouring in from Europe, the crops are beginning to move, and it is now apparent that panic has beer entirely averted. The adoption of tho clearing house certificates in variou, cities has undoubtedly saved sGmc banks from going to the wall for want of ready .cash. In financial circles confidence is daily being restored and the dark clouds are rapidly disap- bearing, due to the influx of gold iron the old country and the government, prompt measures for relief.

ONE OF WoMEN's CHARMS.
Sense OF Reserve Said to Add Much
to Attractiveness.

woman, especially to be attractive.
must preserve a sense of reserve, she
must, so to speak, keep up certain
amount of mystery about herself.
There Is folklore tale OF woman
who finding her married life unhappy,
went to white witch for charm
against the trouble. She received a
flask filled with a colOrless liquid,
which she was directed 10 take and
hold in her mouth whenever she was
disposed to quarrel with her husband.
She obeyed directions, and, delighted
with the effect OF the charm, went
back to the witch for fresh supply
when that was exhausted THE liquid
was merely water" said the wise
woman. The virtue OF ths remedy
consists simply in holding your tongue
In keeping back angry answers To
adopt the rule, says Woman's Life,
once given to a gushing girl by a
friend who knew the world, Never
speak Of yourself, and never say any
thing which Is uncalled for" would at
first seem likely to make Trappists OF
all the world; yet it Is to be ques-
toned whether, after all, the advice
was not wise. There always are peo-
pie who like to talk whose favor is to
be won by interested listening, and
good listeners are rare.

and with a few deft touches rear
ranging her hair SO that it fell more
softly about her temples and forehead.
80 distinguished" she murmured,
stepping aside to allow Louise full
view of her reflection in the mirror.
Louise's heart sank.
"Of course | should have known
that a simple thing like that would
have cost fortune, while those elab-
crate affairs of yesterday could be
bought for ten cents" she thought.
"Of course it is not quite impossible,
butt would be reckless extrava-
gance."
But even as she turned away, the
in her mind, and the thought of the
check that Uncle Robert had given
her at parting Extravaganza money"
he had called it. The journey to Bos.
ton had been delightfully."- beguiled in
making a list of the things that won.
derful check would buy. 1t was the
largest sum of money that Louise had
ever had Of her very own. and by the
time she reached the city, not only
the dear home people, but her friends
In the village. Her father. too had
given her five dollars for pocket
money, and that sum. also, was intact.
Out of the very lavishness of the dis,
play in the show windows and on the
shop counters had come the indiffer-
ence OF safety, and the brown hat
was the first real temptation that had
presented itself. Tonight Louise was
to dine with Mrs. Blake and Isabel
and go with them afterwards under
the escort Of MIR. Richard Blake, to
see the new morality play, of which
everyone was talking Louise had
first met Nj Blake last June, when
