The Labor Shortage.

Philadelphia Record.
The shortage Of labor in this eOun.
try appears to be hardly a less dis
ressIng incident Of the prevailing In
dustrial situation than the shortage OF
capital TO carry on great projected
undertakings. The shortage on the
farms is partly explained by the fact
that the urgency comes and goes with
the planting and gathering Of the
crops, being redundant and INSULT
clent by turns. But the farmers are
not the only sufferers. There is a
scant supply Of labor in nearly all
the other industries. This is particu-
larry evident in mining operations.
The Record noted the other day the
Importation Of Australian Goals on the
Pacific coast for consumption on the
Hartman lines Of railroad because of
inability to keep up the usual outturn
at mines owned by the railroads.
Large European orders for anthracite
and bituminous coal for delivery at
Philadelphia and New York have been
declined because of a lack of full
force of miners in Pennsylvania col
neries. Never before was labor in
the United States in greater demand
and never before were wages higher.
III is true that the cost of living has
advanced in correspondence with the
rate of wages, but the time seems in
opportune for reviving the outcry
against an increase of the labor sup
ply as result Of immigration. Every
able.bodied man who comes into the
country willing to make his living by
skilled or unskilled labor is bene-
factor and not an interloper

A School for Railroad Men.

Omaha Bee.
The travelling public will warmly
commend the action of a score OF
high officials in railroad circles who
have joined in a plan for the estab'
lIshmeut of a school Of railroading TO
educate men needed In the operating
departments Of the big systems of the
country. 1t is asserted thai the rail-
roads of the country need fully 2OO,.
600 more men TO meet present require
ments, and 1t Is claimed that the new
plan will fit men, already physically
acceptable, for employment in' many
positions requiring additional forces.
AS a special inducement to young
men TO take up this work, it is pro
posed that the tuition be refunded by
the railroad company with which they
secure employment and give satistac-
tory service for one year.
The new venture Is IN response to
the recognized demand for more and
better trained men for the railroad
service. OFFICIALS OF the railroads full.

the railroads and by the public
through the use of green" hands. The
officials have always had the excuse
that they were compelled to use in.

whether this ultra devotion to things
English will lead to a demand by
american automobiles. who happen
to be arrested, that they be sent to
the rock pile. Paying a fine in filthy
lucre is such a common occurrence
as to be almost vulgar. The man who

Mail Delivered at Churches.

That seems a tremendous big bunch of mail to be delivered at church." remarked an early caller to the sexton.
 "A good deal of 1t belongs to the parishioners," he explained, T do not mean to the regular worshipers, but to persons who drop in for an occa sional service. They are mostly com parative strangers in town. When leaving home they have no idea what they will do or where they will be located, so in order to relieve the anX iety of their friends they give in- structions to send their mail to some church of which they have heard The mere fact that the wanderers have to call at such place once or twice week for letters is considered a guaranty of their safety. The pastors welcome such an arrange ment. It may be an additional re sponsibility to take care of the letters, but it keeps them in touch with many strangers who otherwise probably would not go near church IN. f. Sun.

Mayor as Bell Ringer.

The following story is told in Paris of village priest and mayor; In village in the department of the Ain the cure was his own church warden
 For want of money the church was abandoned, and for many days the viii lagers heard no Angelus when work ing in the fields at daybreak, at noon, and in the evening, The mayor, a re- tired gendarme, an ardena radical, missed the cure and the chimes as much as any other villager, and when the cure had been gone week he be- gan to ring the bells. One night re- gently the village was reused by the notes of the Angelus. It was no call to mass, still less 3 fire alarm; it was a mistake of the mayor The moon, breaking through the clouds just before going down, had brought him from his bed thinking it was sun rise. And now he is awaiting letter from the prefect representing him, and perhaps revoking him for having rung the church bells before sunrise

"A count in the indictment against this businesslike age said the doctor IS that the art Of conversation is dying out. 1 wish respectfully to sub
 init that one of our modern institutions effectually prevents any such catas- trophe, if catastrophe it be, 1 refer to the telephone and it's use. 1 have learned by experience that people not only say good many disagreeable things over the telephone that they wouldn't say if they were face to face with you, but also that the telephone gives flip to ordinary conversational powers quite amazing in it's results. The detailed statement of symptoms which every physician is familiar, and there are patients of a certain mental makeup very apt to diverge easily into general remarks which, however valu- able in themselves are singularly de void of professional interest. 1 shud- der to think what such persons have to offer in the way of talk when they go to the telephone for purely social purposes. Judging from the difficulty l have frequently in getting the wire, 1 should surmise that we live in net work of society telephone calls-all well enough in their way but not sup porting the hypothesis that as a peo- pie we are suffering from dumbness,

DIDN'T SEND THE SEATS.
Actor Not so Gallant as the Fair Ones

well-known American actor who is old enough not to consider himself a matinee idol by any means, was somewhat surprised and pleased in St. Louis hotel a short time ago, when a pretty girl stopped him in the corri- dor and presented him with a rose, without saying word. He was more surprised and less pleased to receive a note the following day reminding him of the incident, and asking him to send the giver of the flower two seats at the theater in which he was play ing "as a mementO of the occasion"
 My dear young lady, the actor re- piled, waxing sarcastic as he realized what had been the object of the atten- tion he had been paid ''I would be glad to send you the seats you ask for, but on consultation with the man. ager of the theater, 1 have been in- formed that the seats are all fastened down, and that he is opposed to hay ing them sent away as souvenirs in any event, so that you will have to be -----.---a--e- OOnu1ntOu wI.AA an auto5TapH TOT d souvenir of your benevolence of yes terday instead. ."-Montreal Herald

PLUM PUDDING ALL RIGHT.
The Lancet Says It Is Good Meal in
 Itself and Is Unjustly Blamed.

The London Lancet, which so often points out the terrible and unsuspeeted dangers to health encountered in every day life, publishes with reason able optimism a hearty defense of the Christmas pudding
 Tt IS accused of indigestibility,' says the Lancet, but synthical con sideration of all the events would in dicate the reverse to be the case For an individual enjoying aY craze health the ingredients of plum pudding should offer no physiological stumbling block"
 The paper then points out that the pudding is generally eaten after an extra large, hearty meal and unjustly gets blamed for what is really the re suit of overeatlng.
 The Christmas pudding" says the Lancet, "is meal for a hungry man, for it is hardly possible to conceive a more complete food. Eggs supply plenty of proteid, suet a sufficiency of fat and bread crumbs, fruit and sugars generous proportion of car bohydrates Moreover, most of these carry the further necessarieS of hu. man diet, namely, mineral salts

Dairying is the best line of farm ing because it best maintain the fertility of the soil, gives constant and steady employment and pro- duces the best type of manhood. On the dairy farm we find better homes, better social and political conditions and better and higher development of mankind. The op- portunities to the present day dairy man are many. The business af- lords great opportunities for i'm provements in increasing soil fertil- ity, in securing better farm equip ment and in breeding and selection of the working herd. The salva- tion of the country depends on agri- culture and the foundation of all agriculture is in the soil. Dairying is the greatest wealth producing industry in the country andis need ed every where, there is a constant demand for dairy products.
