A Recipe for Sadness.

A married man sat in roof garden
looking up at the starry sky dreamily.
"Why are you so sad?"
"I'll tell you," he replied. "This
morning I went into my wife's room
in her absence, and on desk lay
packet of my love letters-old letters
that I had written to her before we
We're married, seven years ago"
He smiled, sighed, shook his head.
"Foolishly,' he said, II read those
letters l read all of them. Every
word every word"
He gazed at the stars that glittered
above him and at the lights of the city
glittering below.
"Oh, you married men," he NUT
tered, eff you would be made wise and
miserable; If you would have brought
home to you the rottenness of yourself
and of life; if you would have a sud-
den clear hideous view of your posi-
ton, of what you expected from life
and what you have got-look up and
read a packet of your old love letters.
1t is the best recipe for a sad day
that I know"

The Woman Makes the Man.

Y ~
Wherever woman is, man is. She
scales the mountains of humanity,
likewise descends to it's depths. If she
falls, or rises. man falls or rises with
her. She is his complement-that
something that makes of him either a
demon or a god. When the way is
dark and rough and man, in his strug-
gle toward the realization of some
ideal, slips, and, perchance, falls. is
cast aside by the world, she guides
him by her love and tenderness, i'm
bues with courage and hope, and by
her generous and abiding faith, gives
him strength to begin life anew, and
reach the goal for which he had striv-
en- before his fall. The gage of a ma
ton is the gage of mans estimate of
woman in home life. If she is held in
bondage and degradation, you will find
the finger marks of barbarism on that
country. In this country woman stands
supreme in the home. When she is
driven from-or forced to abdicate-
her great throne, and made a footstool,
our nation, like the Roman empire of
old, will crumble, totter and fall.

rived in three freight cars, bound hand

ationist the official organ of the AM
erican Federation Of Labor. President
Gompers OF the American Federation
is the editor of the publication and the
author of he editorial. He sgss one
of the early injunction judges" says
the editorial, referring to Secretary
Taft, land as a statesman and poll.
Stician he lis evidently determined to
defend his record"
The editorial stoutly attacks Secre-
tary Taft for his orders and rulings
while Judge as unfavorable to labor,
and particularly condemns him for his
attitude towards injunctions
Secretary Taft's contention with
reference to what he terms the "boy
colt" would. if carried to its logical
result" declares Gompers, lead to the
dispersion and forcible breaking up, by
court orders, of every assemb1age of
workingmen, however innocent or law
full their purpose, and to the nullifica-
ton of all their agreements.
The fact of the matter is that Sec
retary Taft. as a presidential aspirant,
is .afeared' he may have ruffled a
feather here and there in the plume of
capitalistic power. His parting words
are to console corporate influence and
the money power for any uneasiness. as
to his position. One of the reasons
which he gave for advising the people
of Oklahoma to reject the constitution
was that. in his opinion, it contained
bad and dangerous limitation upon the
power of the courts to grant and en-
force Writ.s of injunction."

crime of assault with intent to COM

tried to frighten some boys who We're

couple of times. This seemed to please
the Harr boy not little. and he stayed

the arm. Lamprecht threatened to
lick him if he told his father about
it, The little fellow kept it to himself
for quite a time, but blood poison set
in and the boy is now in a serious
condition. Harr now says that Lam
precht pointed the gun right at him
when he shot. The hearing was be-

Lamprecht was bound over to the
grand jury which meets in October.
The case will probably prove one of
malicious mischief rather than any

was so Indifferent at the hearing
that he wouldn't tell his story. and
the only thing that could be done
was TO send him to Jail to await the
meeting of the grand jury.
