Record Left by Taft.
Secretary Taft sent striking brick
layers to Jail in Cincinnati In 1894 and
also punished American Railway union
leaders In the same summary fashion.
Debs and some OF his colleagues were
sent to Jail that same year, and the
supreme court Of the United States
upheld the udge who did it, thereby
giving the sanction of the highest
court in the land to the practice which
many lawyers think is a rotten inva-
sion Of the rights Of the citizen. Laws
have been enacted on the subject in
some states, but the courts have upset
them. Oklahoma has made 1t i1npos-
sible 70 the courts to exercise the
drastic power of sending u man to
prison because g. judge by -erder for
bids things, that are unlawful, and
thereby get rid Of the right Of trial
by jury. ..... .....--..... ..
The railroad brotherhoods. the MEM
bers of which fought Debs and his
American Railway union, are repre-
sented as being more hostile toward
Secretary Taft on account OF his gov

expected. They did not like Debs' way
Of making a fight, but they have no
greater love, it Is said. for the Taft

had for Debs. st
Hostility toward Taft on account OF
those injunctions is said to be strong

Gompers and his associates were
beaten last November by all the candi-
dates against whom they made strong
fights, but in every case the Repub-
lican majority was cut down to dis

In no case was there any man q
candidate against whom organized
labor had as black mark as there is
against Secretary Taft. The fact is
worth considering. Frankly, the test
Of Taft, it is believed here, will be
made on the question whether he
ought to have issued the 1njunctions
he did in 1894.
The fact that he worked as hard
against the eight-hour day in Panama
as he knew how is not nearly so seri-
Gus an offense in the eyes If the labor
leaders here, because they understand
the slow, poky way most Of the labor
ers in the tropics work and can make
allowances for that. But they can see
no excuse for the Taft injunctions in
1894. hence the Gompers fight on the
war secretary.

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Effect Of Boxing on the Mental and

Eject of Boxing on the Mental and
Moral Faculties.
Boxing is an exercise which is not
only of the most marked benefit in a
purely physical way. but it is of the
utmost value a a means Of training
the mental and moral faculties. One
of the most unfortunate whimsicalities
Of our very whimsical day is the preju-
dice against boxing as a sport and
exercise. There is no sport in which
there is provided such splendid exer-
else for body and mind and spirit as
in boxing.
The physical influence Of boxing is
superb. Every muscle and organ is
brought into active use. So far as
mentality is concerned. the perception,
imagination. judgment. discretion, self
confidence, aggressiveness and will are
all brought into active and rapid use.
The boxer who fails in perceiving his
opponents intention. who misses in
Judging the power or reach Of his blow,

M moment to remember all the weak
points of the man against whom he is
working-that boxer is likely to fail, to
lose what we all value-that Is. repu-
tation, public confidence and income.
Among the many sports and games
which are Of value in training the
mind I place boxing as by all mean
the most valuable.-W. r. O. Latson.

"A man who wanted to lecture called
at q bureau presided over by two man

He aroused their interest with a lee
turer's art, says the Lyceumite, but
unfortunately the senior member was
just starting on a trip and would not
return for at least a month.
The senior partner called the young
man to one side and exacted a solemn
promise that he would not visit an
other bureau or read his lecture to
anybody until after he had given this
particular manager a reading and
chance to make him an offer a month
hence.
The interest Of the Junior member,
kept sending for the young lecturer, in
sisting shat he come down to the Office
and rea ] his lecture. The young man
refused with as much tact a possible,
but this only increased the anxiety Of
the junior.
At last the young man told Of the

stead Of quieting the Junior manager,
the announcement made him the more
anxious. and finally the young man
consented.

"Now, your reading this has saved
us all much valuable time. I'll tell you.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The struggle

BLUEBEARp.
Two Different stories a. to Who Wan

Two Different stories as to Who Wa
the Original.
Like many Of the other heroes Of the
nursery tales, Bluebeard nee lived in
the flesh and blood, If the old chron-
icler Holinshed, from whom Shake
speare got so much of his material, Is
to be believed. According to that writ
er. the original Bluebeard was Giles de
Retz or de Raiz, marquis Of Laval,
who became marshal Of France in 1920.
He is described as an impious and de-
bauched man. a devotee Of the black
art, who enticed young men and WON
en- to his castle and killed them in or
der ITO obtain innocent blood for his
magical entertainments and who also
murdered six or Of his wives.
His crimes were discovered, and he
was burned at the stake in l44O ut
Nantes.
According to an old French legend,
however, the original Bluebeard lived
in Britanny in the sixth century and
was known as Count Coroner. After
seven of his wives had disappeared he
became 'enamored of Triphyna, the
daughter Of Count Guereck Of vannes.
The wedding was celebrated at Vannes,
and Conomer took his bride home.
Before q year had passed Triphyna
noticed u change in her husbands man
ner. and, fearing the same fate that
had met her predecessors, she fed from
the castle. but was overtaken by Como
mer, who struck off her head with a
single blow. st. Gildas, by whom the
unfortunate wife had been educated.
happened to pass the spot soon after,
and. seeing the body. he tenderly re-
placed the head and by prayer restored
Triphyna to life. The story does not
relate the end of Conomer.

An Extraordinary Migration.

An Extraordinary Migrat1on.
One Of the greatest mysteries to sci
entists. one for which there Seems to
be no reasonable explanation. Is that
concerning the migration Of the lem
ming. or Norway rat. Instead of TAX
ing place once a year. these migrations
occur only once in eleven years. When
the time comes for the exodus the lit
tie animals journey westward from
Scandinavia, allowing nothing to stop
their movements. which virtually
amount to a headlong flight. They
swim the lakes and rivers and climb
the highest mountains In incalculable
numbers. devastating the whole u
try through which they travel. Natu-
ralists attribute the movement to some
inherited memory Of a flight to escape
an expected cataclysm. but thia seems
somewhat far fetched.

TUB For HEATING WATER.

important points arise in considering
fall b%utchcring upon the farm where
the object is simply to secure a sup
ply Of meat for family use. First is
the easy and convenient heating of wa
ter; next, the making of a simple table
and scalding receptacle; lastly, a sim
pie device for smoking meat, for it is
not often that a closed room can be
given up to this special use.
The first cut shows q big galvanized
iron washtub set upon a few bricks
piled up for the occasion. A small
fire can he built beneath, which will,
of course, melt off the coating of zinc
on the bottom of the tub, but this will
do no great harm. Such a tub a be
purchased anywhere. 1t should be set
up close to the Strengthening table, and
when the water in the tub is hot two
men lift the tub by the handles and
pour contents into the scalding vat.
This latter may have a blanket thrown
over the top if another tubful Of water
must be heated. This is much more
convenient to heat water than by
means of Il set tub, from which all
the water must be taken out in pals
and carried perhaps a considerable dis
lance.
