Deals Only In Facts.

In the earlier years OF the work peo-
pie did not, IN many Instances. take
kindly TO the idea OF having their pri-
yate affairs probed for the benefit OF
the public. but latterly this spirit has
largely disappeared. Nowadays II the
special agents OF the bureau OF labor
are refused information by one manu-
facturer they usually have no difficulty
In discovering some other establish
ment where the needed data may be
obtained The government labor ex-
perts have won confidence by never
allowing the names OF parties furnish
ing facts TO be given in it's reports. al
though. to be sure. they take every
possible means TO verify all the infor-
nation gathered. The bureau will
have nothing to do with estimates or
hearsay statements about labor con-
ditions. IL never makes any state
ments unless Il has positive facts to
back them up.
At the outset the government labor
experts thought that they could carry
on their investigations largely by mail.

would respond satisfactorily to queries
thus transmitted and so the bureau OF
labor had to organize a corps OF spe

the wing" securing information at first
hand and recording Il on carefully pre-
pared schedules. The policy Of the

conditions and the problems OF life
affecting the working people is seldom

What has the world to do now with

Why should e heap scorn on his men,
DRY because OF his personal peculiar
tiles? Poe the living man was unfor-

the finest poetic genius the country

best OF the French. the German and
the Slav short-story writer's have been
proud to follow. IL is because of his

STRANGE USES OF PICTURES.
Have Been Frequently Diverted from
Their Prime Purpose.

Though the prime purpose Of pic
lures Is to please and instruct, they
have az times been diverted to other
uses. During the recent hearing of
case at London police court a wit
ness gave evidence that the prisoner
who was charged with attempted MUIR
der and suicide. had drawn his atten-
ton TO a couple OF pictures on the
backs of which. written in pencil, was
a statement by the accused setting
forth the reason for his premeditated
crime.
Ere now pictures have been enlisted
in Hymen's cause. That celebrated
painter OF flower and figure subjects.
William Hunt. was on one occasion
commissioned by a gentleman TO paint
his portrait In the attitude of kneeling
and holding In his hand an open scroll
whereon was written a declaration Of
love and offer OF marriage. The lady
TO whom this unusual proposal Of mar
riage was sent replied with chalk
drawing OF herself with a sheet Of
paner In her hand on which was in
scribed "A laconic Yes"
Pictures have not infrequenty been
chosen by whimsical testators as
hiding places for their Wills. To an
even greater length OF eccentricity did
a gentleman go when he gave hand
some sum 20 Mulready to execute a
figure subject on the back OF his Will,
which. thus adorned. was framed and
hung in his drawing room.
As debt collectors. too. they have
proved oficacious. Etty. when a young
man. received an order from certain
Marylebone tradesmen to make a
dozen caricature sketches Of a resident
OF the locality who was notably averse
to settling his accounts. These por-
traits when finished were displayed
IN the windows OF their subjects long
suffering creditors. who refused to re-
move them from the public gaze until
their bills were paid. Seeing no way
OF escaping ridicule save by yielding
10 their just demands. the gentleman,
on condition that the Objectionable
portraits were destroyed. agreed TO
discharge his debts.
Soon after he settled in London Sir
Thomas Lawrence. then a mere youth,
was witness 10 dastardly assault on
a young lady by a rufIian. who man
aged to make good his escape. not,
however before he had been well
noted by the young artist. who at once

pupils:
am little penny. | was born in
1898. i man had me in his pocket.
Yesterday he gave his little boy new
suit of clothes and in them he found
me. His father told him he had to go
20 Sunday school. The next day the
little boy put on his new suit and took
me to Sunday school | had to stay in
his pocket until his teacher came after
me aud the other pennies. She put me
IN box with the other pennies. and
asked some of the other pennies how
they came, and one said he came with a
poor boy, and the others come with
other boys and girls. | stayed in the
box "A day then 1 was taken away on the
train for Sunday school papers. was
taken into large building and given to
a man. lie took me down to the candy
store and bought some candy for his
little girl The woman that owned the
candy store gave me to her little boy.
He was out playing with some olher
boys and lost me. laid OH the ground
for a month, then a'poor boy found me
He took me to his home as fast as he
could run. His father and mother were
glad that he found me. l was put upon
the shelf over the stove, and one day
when he was hunting me he knocked
me in the stove. There was "A hot fire
in the stove and it turned me black.
| wondered what he was going to buy
with me then. He cried very hard, but
when the fire was out he found me. He
was as happy as could be. Then he
took me and four other pennies down
town and bought some candy and a
whistle. He went home playing the
whistle as hard AS he could. He gave
of the candy and had some left for him
self. The storekeeper looked at me for
II long time and could not read the date.
He told the clerk that | was not any
good, so he gave me to little boy.
This was a bad little boy and he put me
on the railroad rail and the train ran
over me and split me in two.
