LOST TEMPER WAS COSTLY.
Poet Banker Threw Away and Bought
Back His Own Property.

Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet
banker. had high temper and was
exceedingly sensitive. One day exas-
perated by the Grass stupidity OF Z
servant. he threw book at his head
The boy ducked and the book sailed
out OF the window. After it hurried
the mental, but he was too late; a
passerby had picked il up and walked
off with it. Stedman began TO wonder
what book he had thrown away. and
10 his horror discovered that it was
a quaint and rare little volume for
which he had paid $50. His chagrin
was intense, as the work was almost
unique and the prospects Of replacing
Ii were remote.
Some time afterward, when brows-
ing in a secondhand book shop, our
ienetic poet banker perceived to his
at delight a copy of the very book
he had lost. He asked the price. It's
very rare" replied the dealer, but as
you are an old customer I'll let you
have it for $40; nobody else could
have it for less than $50" Stedman
gladly paid the $40, got home with his
treasure as soon as possible. and sat
down to gloat over il. A card dropped
out of the leaves. II was his own.
Further examination showed that he
had bought back his property. 1t

Explosion Killed Her.

Through the explosion Of disin-
fecting tank, Lillian Belle Page. a
prisoner at the Detroit house of cor
rection. lost her life With other
convicts she was told Saturday to
put the clothing of newly arrived
prisoners in the disinfecting tank in
the laundry. but warned not to turn
on the steam until told to do so by
the matron. Instead. the woman
turned on the steam full force. and
the tank exploded. She was badly
hurt and removed 10 the hospital
where she fingered until Sunday
morning. when she died. The au-
topsy showed that death was caused
from the shock following severe in
juries to the hin.
Mrs. Page was sent TO the house OF
correction last September for term
of from one To five years for grand
larceny. She was convicted in Kala-
mazoo. where she had worked as
domestic for w. F. Chamberlain. Her
arrest caused considerable sensation
because she had always been regard
ed as a stanch member of the First
Methodist church of kalamazoo. The
stolen property was recovered in the
trunk of n girl friend At the trial it
came out that the woman had been

of signalling the latter. Snow was fall

Cutting Wages.

The Republic Iron & Steel company
the company that demolished the
Springfield, H., Iron Mills plant and
'toted' it away to other fields, after
having agreed for consideration to
keep it in operation in that city-has
decided to cut the wages of its en-
ployes in the Sylvan Steel mill here
33 Is per cent. The employees are
willing to accept a reduction of 20
per cent, but they do not want to sur
render one-third of their wages.
The Republic Iron & Steel company
belongs to the steel trust which has
just announced reduction in prices
all along the line. AS the profits to
the stockholders must be maintained
this reduction in price must be made
up by the wage workers. and the rank
and file therefore have to suffer. The
laboring men can get sweet revenge
for the impositions inflicted upon then
| by the predatory trusts by busting
the trusts through helping TO cleo

The Republican Party's Own An
SWer,


Bryan's Commoner In his address to
The republican national convention,
Temporary Chairman Burrows referred
to the republican victory in 1904. and
then asked: I'm view of this indorSe-
mept, it becomes pertinent and oppor-
tune to inquire, what has the repub-
Iican party done in the last four years
of government control to forfeit pub
lie confidence or create distrust in its
capacity for future administration?
For this question the Rochester
New York; Union and Advertiser
finds a striking answer: This is the
answer which the Union and Advertis-
er takes out of the mouth of Senator
Burrows own party: in the broad
effect of its policy it has precipitated
panic, blighted industry and trade
with prolonged depression, closed fac
tories, reduced work and wages, halted
enterprise and crippled American pro
duction. Every consideration of pub
llic safety and individual interest de
mands that the government shall be
rescued from the hands of those who
have shown themselves incapable OF
corducting it without disaster" CFrom
the republican platform of 1860
