Reward of Honesty.

One day last week teacher in Boil
ton school picked up in the street a
channels bag, and peering inside saw
some diamonds. Advertisements telling
of the loss of $4,000 worth of dia-
monds led the school teacher to the
residence of the owner, the wife of
a downtown merchant. Incidentally a
reward was offered, but the woman
who found them is of character too
high to make a reward a thing to be
considered in such case. She carried
the diamonds to the woman who had
lost them and the latter seized them
with; all the joy that a woman could
possibly show on the recovery of her
jewels.
"And now" said the woman, you
shall have reward of SO If you take
it out in trade in my husbands shop"
The school teachers sense of humor
prevented her from showing any dis
gust and she told the owner that she
could not think of taking a reward
for common honesty. and was only
too glad to find the owner. During the
conversation the woman was counting
the diamonds and she suddenly broke
out with:
"One of them is missingl One of
them is missingl What are you going
to do about it?"
'"The best 1 can do about that" re-
piled the school teacher. sis to wish
that more were missing. Good day."

FROM OTHER PENS
THE ENDOWMENT OF GENIUS.

Someone has suggested that bur
rich men endow genius as we'll as col
leges and libraries. An objection Of
fered is that a man can tell college
when he sees it, or library, but not
a genius This may be true in general,
but there are occasions when identi-
fication is not difficult. We make
these remarks because of the sad news
which comes from England relative
to Stephen Phillips, the poet and dra-
matist, whose work has displayed all
the elements of real genius. Nothing
more beautiful than "Marpessa" has
been written in English since the days
when Byron wrote, and it may be
doubted of Byron himself ever reach
ed such perfect beauty in thought,
form or expression.
Stephen Phillips was summoned to
attend the bankruptcy court in Lon
don recently. He failed to appear be-
cause he was unable to buy a ticket
who many think is the greatest of
living poets, and one who in after
years will rank high in the literature
of his country, fights the long and
that a suitable pension awarded to
Stephen Phillips would be an excel
lent investment, if it must be spoken
of in so crude way. The man has
all the elements of genius, and it is
more than pathetic to think that he
must waste his efforts in a mere at
tempt to get his daily bread. Eng
land has been more generous in such
matters than America, and she may
pension the poet.-Charleston News
and Courier.
THE RIGHT TO LABOR.
The Illinois decision declaring I'M
constitutional the statute limiting the
hours of women's work will be shock
to all persons whose bent of mind is
70 IA
cause a reform is desirable it can be
put into effect at once by enactment.
whether that enactment be good law
or not.
There is no doubt that the purpose
sought by the societies which induced
the legislature at Springfield to forbid
the employment of women for longer
than 10 hours in given day is salu-
tary and commendable. In some of
the trades it has been customary, eS-
peciaHly at certain rush" seasons,
for the factories and shops to run II
or even Is hours daily-fn most cases,
of course, with extra pay for over
time.
The Illinois court, following a pre-
cedent established in the appeals
bench of New York, held that the
womenS labor law trespaSSed upon
the rights of the women themselves
The CONSTITUTIONS gives them an in
alienable freedom of contract, which
implies the privilege of any woman
to work as many hours a day as she
and her employer may agree upon
Although the decision seems to work
a hardship, its wisdom will become
evident to one rejecting upon the fact
that an invasion of an inherent lib
erty almost invariably leads to an
extension of abuse. The case proves
again that there are better ways than
going to legislatures to accomplish de-
sired changes in conditions--Wash-
ington Post

By No Means Angelic.

very pretty young lady asked.

1.-The case Of The seventeen holesu
will long be remember as one of the
most glarIfIg frauds ever perpetrated
against the United States government.
The trust was forced to pay a large
amount Of money TO make good the
stealing effected through dishonest
methods in weighing. The repay
mept, however, has not changed in
the least the opinion Of single indivi-
dual about the real character of the
action itself. 1t was just plain thiev-
cry, as despicable as could be planned.
The disclosures in tine latest affair
connected with this same company
bring no surprise. Afterthe Weighing
frauds anything might be considered
possible The Pennsylvania sugar re-
fiuery was built in 1903. 1t was
model plant. 1t was better than any
one owned by the trust. The builder,
becoming Involved, was forced to Dor.
ed to l7an it was an unknown agent OF
the trust With the loan he gained
the privilege Of naming the directors
during the period of Indebtedness.
The rest was easy. Some dummy
directors were chosen. They ordered
the plant closed. For the comparative
ly small amount Of 81 $50 600 the trust
had put a dangerous RI al out of the
way. AS for the methods? The old
maxim, "All's fair in love and war;
probably came to quiet any qualms
Of conscience if that monitor still spoke
to those concerned
To cap the climax, the suit for $50,
000,000 brought by the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining Company against the
trust has been settled out of court
for S750, 200, the terms of adjustment
being still uncertain. That makes

The Washington dispatches indicate
that the private settlement Of this suit
has stirred up greater feeling than
ever, and that it may lead to the dsso-
luton of this combine. The sooner the
blow is struck the better it will be for
all, for the average individual who
reads of the wickedness of the sugar

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1909-08-13
We Now Have With Us.

Directly in front of you. you will
now see the Rocky ORD cantaloupc!' T.
The day has come; it is here. There
is the same old delicious flavor which
none other has ever been able to du-
plicate, the same lusciousncss, the
same delightful twang and mellow
watcrinous as it slips off the spoon.
the same old taste which once met is
never forgotten. Step right un, Ia
dies and gentlemen, and greet the well
come guest!
Something ought to be done about
this matter OF other localities stealing
the Rocky Ford hallmark and infring-
ing its right to the name. The pure
food law ought to provide a remedy
against il as much al it docs against
mustard. While it is obvious that no
mustard can be French mustard TN
less made in France, equally is it true
that no cantaloupc can be Rocky
Ford unless grown in the land OF
Swink. They may save the seed out
of Rocky Ford and try to- reproduce
the Rocky Ford soil or the Arkansas
river water or the Colorado atmos-
phcre whence come the special flavor
Putting something that looks a little
bit like it on the bill of fare and call
ing it a Rocky FoSd is as much de-
lusiou and snare of the appetite as
calling a Packingtown ham a West
morcland. and the perpetrator of the
fraud should be as amenablc to law
1t is selling gold-leafed block for a

Because they arc late other countries
which can grow an imitation article

product to the breakfast tables of the
land and are doing the reputation oi
