DR.. Herbert's lecture, "Be a
Man," was given in a pleasing
manner, and he kept the assem-

description of the football game
was very realistic and enter

that were worth while to re-
member, and while he criticised
somewhat sharply some of the
older customs and people, there
is no doubt that he drew the
picture accurately. To be a
man of today one must be an
optomist and look through tie

Cannibal Cows.

"Now, children" said the pretty teacher, q want you all to write a composition on the COW. You know what COW is You know that COW gives us all the milk we drink. Now, write me something original about the COW as you know her, nothing com monplace." It would take several pages to print the results, but there is roo'l for at least one composition by a girl of seven:
 "A COW is quadruped having four legs and four feet She gives milk and sometimes has horns, but not always. The cows baby is called a calf and sometimes bossy. When a COW talks she lows A COW with horns can hook, but COW without horns is helpless. A COW is carnivorous animal when she has q chance, but she ordinarily eats grass, if there is any. A COW is can nibal if you let her alone, for she will eat her own kind"
 The horrifcd teacher exclaimed: Sal lie May where on earth did you get the idea, the ridiculous idea. that COW is carnivorous and a cannibal? You meant to say that COW is herblvorous or graminivorous."
 No, teacher. 1 read it in the Holy Bible. Don't you remember there were seven fine fat cows feeding near a brook and seven lean and hungry COWS came and ate them up? See Genesis Xii, f."

industries by reason of the employees demand for reduction of 25 cents per week in the wages of moulders, to the number of about 200. At mass meeting held. the men re- | solved to resist the reduction. A 25- cent advance was granted in October | two years ago; the wages now are | $10.50 per week
 About the latest thing in the limo of labor unions in Paris, France, is the recently formed Association of Inventors, which aims to organize all mechanics and other workmen of m inventive bend, and thus prevent them from becoming the victims of those who may try to steal their ideas. All patents obtained will be held in common, and all cases in the courts will be conducted by the asso- citation.
 Professor Kobatsch of Austria, a recognized authority on labor ques- tions and economies, recently issued a statement in which he sets forth that compulsory arbitration cannot be adapted to the economic and so- cial conditions of continental Europe. He cites in support of the stand he has taken that in England, the most progressive industrial country of Europe, a proposal for compulsory arbitration was defeated by a majority of 660,000.
 Of the total membership of the present congress, four were elected | loh n1atfnrpnC and mated in opposition to the candi- dates of the two older parties. The men are McDermot, of Chicago, and Carey, of Milwaukee, both telegraph CTS: Nichols, coal miner from Scranton, Pa, and Wilson, another coal miner from Blossburg, Pa. Three others elected to congress have union cards in their pockets, but were not elected as representa- tives of union labor.
 Some 10000 coat tailors who about two years ago were expelled from the United Garment Workers union have patched up their differ ences and been reinstated in the IL ion. The expulsion was brought about through the tailors insisting upon an unauthorized strike. They afterward tried to form a central or ganization of their own, but the at tempt proved unsuccessful, hence 1t was deemed advisable to petition for reinstatement in the Garment Work CTS. which was accomplished at a meeting in New York recently.
 The attention of tho lodges of boiler makers, iron ship builders and helpers of America is being called by the international officers to the mat ter of signing future contracts or working agreements with railroad companies.

THE PRISON CONGRESS
Secretary Root Asks For $sO,ooo
 For 1910 MseilDg.

Washington, December 26.-Sec- retary Root, in the best sense or the word, Is an international promoter He has promoted the cause or peace and arbitration; he has promoted friendly and commercial reiallohs with the South American .RepuDiei not by letter merely, but by making tour of that continent in person. And now he is the natural ana or ficial promoter of another great in- ternational enterprise, which Is phil- osophic and human. The lnterna- tional Tuberculosis congress which met in Washington in the fall IS coming to this country in 19lo ana Secretary Root has asked Congress for $50,OOO to show the European delegates some of the best things achieved in the United States ln I'm proved methods of dealing with crime. It's an interesting history, that of the International Prison con- gress.
 Nearly forty years ago the United States became it's legal and natural father. In 1871, the Congress of the United States became a missionary body. It started out to do a little international worldwide good. It passed resolution authorizing the president to send abroad a commls- sioner to secure the cooperation ot EuroDean governments in holding a great international congress for the discussion of all matters relating to the prevention and treatment of crime. President Grant appointed to this important task the late F. c. Wines, the distinguished American penologist.
 Dr Wines was warmly received in Great Britain and the continent, not 1 only by government officials and crowned heads, but by leaders in philanthropy and penology. and by learned jurists Here was the op- portunity for a new internationa' alliance, which did not concern questions of boundary, territory, ol markets; an international alliance l for a war against crime. The dis. tinguished leaders of thought and ac | tion representing their countries 1T this alliance knew well enough thai this war could not be carried or merely with the old instruments o repression, merely by drastic instru ments of torture, such as fill the museum at Nuremberg. They knew that it meant something more thar simply better prisons; they knew that it meant better laws, a recon struction of criminal codes, bette police, and strengthening of ever. form of social defence. Yet th movement meant something ever more.
 It is useless to stay the flood 0 crime by dikes at the mouth of tn, stream; it must be filtered at it source. Intelligent penology, like intelligent forestry, does not consiS merely in cutting down crooked trees; it means work in the nursery the protection of the growing plants
 Of course the new association ali, concern itself about the improve ment of prison construction an, prison discipline. It turned house of punishment into houses of cor rection. All over Europe the path way of this congress can be see from Sweden to Italy, from Franc to Russia in newer and bette type of prison. But it's work is jus as distinctly recorded in a nor practical and more philosophic atti

Burned IL Into Memory.

One Of the most Enthusiastically
eccentric things ever done by Gelett
Burgess (and one Of the few true sto-
ries of him) was to spend three or four
days in constructing Of cardboard,
mica and green velvet a little model
of an old New England house, COM
plete as to windows, curtains, lawn.
garden, trees and even including a
hammock with tiny hat and summer
novel and washing stretched out on a
clothesline on the back stoop. This
was for dinner given to several lit.
erary friends In New York, and when
the coffee was served he deliberately
set fire to the whole farm. His ex.
planation was that had 1t been spared
his guests might have forgotten the
affair, but they would always remem.
Der the destruction Of the house. No
one who ever saw the little house 60
up In smoke OH its little hill of damp
moss will ever forget 1t.
