The American boy is thoroughly i'm bued with the get-rich-quick spirit whether in a greater or lesser degree. The learning of a trade Is too slow, too tedious and offers too little lmmedi. ate inducemeut Why should he work as an apprentice at 1 to 8 cents an hour after reaching the age of seven teen or eighteen when he can earn 10 to l5 cents at piecework running a ma chine: Once he has entered the door of the piccework shop the boy Is doom

Seven In the nihIc.

The number seven plays prominent part In events in the Bible. The crea
 ton took six days, and on the seventh
 there was rest. On the seventh day O! the seventh mouth a holy observance was ordained, and the Israclites feast, cd seven days and rested seven days
 Noah had seven days warning of thc flood, and the seven years of plenty were foretold in Pharaoh's dream by seven fut beasts. as were the seven years by seven lean beasts. We speak of the seven heavens, and the seventh son was supposed to be endowed wiL pre- eminent wisdom. In short, there is no other number which enters Into the Bible so often as seven. No doubt the wide popularity of the number and the suDersduans which are connected with 1t came from It's wide use In the Bible

Industrial School Controversy.

Golden.-In relation to the attack Of
the labor unions on the wiring done
at the school Superintendent Paddle
ford OF the State Industrial school,
says that he would be glad to have
a committee from the Electrical Work
ers' union examine the wiring at the
school. For the last twenty-three
years the boys have done all the cleo
trio wiring at the institution and dur
ing this time, he says, there has never
been trouble due to defective work.
He objects to the union calling the
boys convlcts and says that the fatn-
ers of three-fourths of them are union
men.
In addition to the wiring the boys
do all the work about the school, such
as runnlag the dynamos and pumps.
blacksmithing, horseshoeing, machine
work, make their own clothes, shoes
and the wagons used at the institu-
ton He believes that all labor
unions would be as much justified in
making complaint as the electricians.
The appropriation allowed the school
by the state does not justify hiring
all this work done and the boys are
taught these trades under competent
instructors, thus giving them oppor-
tunity to make an honest living when
they go out into the world.
