HOLD YOUR JOB.

the Philadelphia Press advises
every man who has a good job to
hold on to it. It cities the fact that
few months ago, especially during
last spring and early summer, jobs
were hunting men. Now men are
hunting jobs. The man who has a
steady position day in and day out
every year, who receives his weekly
pay envelope without interruption,
the year round, is fortunate. Many
factories, manufacturing establish
ments and business houses ex-
perience dull times as well as
prosperous ones. They reduce ex-
penses even when running, some
times, by cutting down the list of
employees. The most inefficient or
the last taken on, are usually the
first TO. go.
While the prospects of good times
are evident in the very neal future,
1t may be a few weeks or a few
months until we experience the rush
for labor that we had eight or nine
months ago. The man who has a
good job with reasonable prospects

VALUE OF SILLINESS.
An Occasional Dose of GisqIing Good

An Occasional Dose of GgqIine Good
For the Health.
''See how sedately Katherine is con-
versing with the learned Mr. B. said
a certain maiden, apparently the most
light hearted of merry group of young
people at hOspitable country house.
"Poor Kitty! She doesn't know how
to divide her days between folly and
wisdom, and I'm convinced her health
is suffering in consequence, and incl
dentally her temper likewise. 1 don't
suppose she ever experienced the ex-
hilarating and cheering effect of a
continuous fit OF giggling at nothing
in particular. No doubt giggling is
very silly, but when our friends i'm
plore us not to be silly it's safe to as
sumo that we're in a more than usual
~ jovial mood and that we have tenn
porarily forgotten all our difficulties,
our dignity and our conceit. l don't
intend ever to have any nervous break
downs like other people and am con-
scientiously studying the science of sill
illness as preventive, but Katherine,
poor dear, will be sure to end in an in
sane asylum if she keeps on as she has
begun. She's just the one to benefit
by an occasional season of Stiffness if
she could only be persuaded to try the
experiment, because she's habitually
SO very wise. By being silly she would
effect an escape from her own person
ality-she would get a holiday from
herself and would be immensely the
better for it. Probably most people
think there is no need to proclaim the
value of Stiffness, because they believe
its possibilities are all too fully realized
already, but that's generally by the
men and women who are silly all the
time, and they get no good from it be-
cause monotony of any kind must be
injurious to the constitution in time

Where is mother?" That is a
question asked more often than any
other in the English language. The
moment boy or girl enters the
house and mother is not there the
FIRST question is, where is mother2"
They know she is not far distant,
yet there is satisfaction in know
ing exactly where to find her. The
father comes into the house, looks
around and asks, where's mother?"
II she happens into the room

ENGLISH GHOST STORY.
A Vision That Saved a Life on the
Yorkshire DaIes.

A Vision That Saved a Life on the
Yorkshire DaIes.
1t is not often that we hear of
ghost saving a mans life. There is,
however, an instance, and it seems to
be tolerably well authenticated, and
materialists will hardly know how to
account for it. Here is the story. It
is of the Yorkshire dales and of good
many years ago. A clergyman whose
duty lay i'll that wild country, where
strong race of men and women lived
principally on bacon and oatcake and
knew not save rarely butchers meat,
used to ride or walk to visit the people.
He had been raising a subscription in
time of scarcity and had to be out
late at night. One evening on his out
ward journey he suddenly became
aware of figure moving beside him,
and in the cleaning he recognized his
brother, who had died some time be-
fore. He was too aWeStruck for
words, and after keeping by his side
for some distance over the lonely moor
the figure disappeared. lie noted the
time and the vision, but nothing oc-
Cured to throw any light upon it.
However, some years after he had
taken the duty St a Jail in another part
Of the country ore of the prisoners ly-
ing under sentence desired to make u
confession. After telling him of a lot
of crimes he said: 81 wor very near
once taking your life, sir. 1t was III
that bad year. and heerd as how You
went carrying money about in those
lonesome dales. 1 hid behind the big
powders of the brown moor. saw
you coming up and waited till you
should be near enough, but that night
you were not alone" This is a star
Ting tale and the stronger because
the vision or whatever it was was seen
by two people. The anecdote occurs in
an article twenty years ago in Mac
millan's Magazine by Lady Verney.

MOTHER JoNEsEs NOT NEEDED.

In this country we plume our
selves upon our freedom of the press
and freedom of speech, as well as
individual liberty, but are apt tC
close our eyes to the danger of the
indendiary utterances of those OF
anarchistic tendencies in the cities
until they had to some serious
elimination like the hay market
riot in Chicago. In this same Chi
cago is Mother Jones'" much loved
DY anarchists, who never fails to
give voice to sentiments dangerous
to encourage, when an opportunity
Is given. At a meeting held in
LaSalle street hall in that city a
few evenings ago, before an audi
ence of about 500, Mother Jones
shrieked out:
mo laboring man can receive a
cup of coffee and a bun from the
hand of capitalist without stulti-
flying himself; 1t is more honorable
to starve, If you have not the moral
courage TO take what belongs to
yeu, than to become puppy whin-
ing for bone from the men who
have stolen your opportunity to eat
meat.
when times get hard because the
money. or master, class want to let
up on exploiting human flesh, you
laboring people who have been Gre
ating the wealth must get in line
like a lot of cattle and receive
rations from the hand that has
robbed you"
This was following the announce
ment of the acquittal of Pettibone
of the Western Federation of Miners,
at Boise City, Idaho.
If the Western Federation of Min
ers has any regard for law and
order, or any self respect, the
organization will retire Mother
Jones from active service The
people are in no mood for the kind
of doctrine she breaches, however
gratifying it may be to the little
squad of anarchists, who applaud
her.

The Milwaukee city council
evidently does not believe in curtail-

killed an ordinance which proposed
to require saloons in that city TO be

Prevent a man in Milwaukee from
taking a drink any old time he

Dairy Notes.

Some dairymen fast the COW several
days before the date Of calving to pre-
vent milk fever. All rich feeds are
gradually decreased till the animal re-
ceives nothing but little hay and soft
feed, made of equal parts bran and
ground oats.
Bear in mind that it takes cream and
not skim milk to make butter. When
skimming the cream leave all the skim
milk in the can and feed it to the hogs.
1t will be of value to them, but an alb
solute detriment if any of it is allow
ed to go into the cream jar.

OUNCE OF PREVENTION.
How ChiIdren's Stockings May Be
Easily Darned.

How Children's Stockings May Be
Easily Darned.
"A stitch in time saves nine," it is
said, but there are some stitches that
may be taken even before sin time"
and thus save more than nine" Most
truly is this the case in regard to chill
dren's stockings. Our grandmOthers
were accustomed carefully to run
the heels and toes of new stockings be-
fore ever they were worn, which made
them so thick that darning, like the
evil day, was put "afar off," The man
ufacturer takes care Of that now by
weaving the heels and toes double, but
somehow he seems to have overlooked
the knees. The little bones of children
are sharp and soon cut through, espe-
cially when "a fellow plays marbles"
or does any other of a thousand nice
things that may be done if one never
has to think of the consequences to
ones clothes.
Mother can save herself and the child
many an uncomfortable quarter of an
hour if she will take a little precau-
ton. Before the stockings are worn
at all piece of material from an old
pair may be cut to fit over the knee.
This can be attached to the new stock
ing by invisible stitches. 1t will not
only form a pad which will prevent
the stocking from going so quickly, but
it will be a foundation in which to
darn when the stocking begins to wear,
which last will prevent the appearance
of those hideous, big, crossbarred darns
which look like nothing SO much as a
prison window.
