Bert Ralston, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. q. Ralston of Cherry street
staggered into his home shortly
after dark last evening in a semi
conscious stupor. The blood was
streaming down his face and his
condition was pitiful.
After he had sufficiently recovered
ne told his mother that he had been
attacked by three men who knocked
him down and beat him. The police
were Immediately notified and an
investigation was made. The lad is
employed as a news carrier and was
delivering his papers when the incl
dent occurred. Captain Bond followed
up his route and discovered that the
Lad had become frightened and was
laboring under an hallucinatlon. In
crossing from one street to another,
Captain Bond found where the lad
had run against guy wire to
telephone pole. His hat was found
beneath he wire and the rest of the
problem was easily solved.
The police concluded that the lad
was run alng when he dashed into the
wire. He was tripped and thrown to
the frozen ground rendering him un-
CONSCIOUS. When he told the story
about his three assailants it is be-
lieved tnat he was not fully con-
s.ious. The accident occurred on
Darius street. The lad must have laid
on the frozen ground in an uncon-
scious stupor for several minutes as
he was almost completely exhausted
from the cold when he arrived home.
The boy sustained several severe
bruises about the face but was not
seriously injured. His condition was
much improved Tuesday morning.

NOT REACHED BY THE BOOM"
One Million Idle Workinemen Give
the Lie to Bombast of Speak
er Cannon.

Industrial and trade conditions the
country over, according to Speaker
Cannon, ARE booming to the everlast-
ing skies as a result of the work of
congress-" Thanks to a beneficent
tariff, affairs are in better shape than
yer before in the industrial history
of the nation. Factories are running
overtime and labor is in demand at
better wages"
John MitchelPs view of these rose
ate conditions as they affect labor Is
not SO optimistic. Taking as a basis
for comparison the statistics prepared
by the American Federation of Labor
showing approximately 2,500, 900 work
men to have been unemployed last
December, he says:
"The latest figures available for the
state of New York indicate that the
unemployment has been reduced to
nearly one-half in this state, and l
think that from previous experience
the condition in the state of New
AClh SuA w IahCA ub u luAb lLulSo
ton of the condition throughout the
country"
That is tosay, with business boom
ing to the everlasting skies as a re-
suit of a benef1cent tariff more than
100000 workingmen yet remain out
Of work. AS the tariff is the prop and
protecting aegis Of labor, it cannot be
through any defect of its operation
that this great industrial army is idle.
The trouble seems to be that labor
is forced to deal with conditions as
they are. 1t cannot discount the fu-
ture for immediate wages. From the
point of view of the 1000, 900 work
men out of employment the industrial
outlook is somewhat less brilliant
than Speaker Cannon's rhetoric.

PAINT FAULTS.

1t is a common occurrence nova
days to hear a man remark with dis
gust; 1T is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the key bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is 8
positive guarantee of purity. However,

lions, ETC., upon request.

Not a Peoples Tariff.

There was, indeed, never any
chance of obtaining at this extra SEES
sion a decent revision of the tariff
schedules. Public opinion was not
we'll developed on that subject. Indi-
vidual members of congress were un-
der pressure from their respective
states and districts. Only a handful
of men took the large, national view.
Every locality in the country-north,
south, east and west-was selfishly
demanding the thing that it believed
would make for its own interests.
Nominally it was a Republican tariff;
actually 1t was just as much Demo
cratic as Republican, and in point Of
fact it was not partisan at all. 1t was
simply a hodge-podge, on the plan of
an old-fashioned river and harbor bill.
The reductions Of rates in so far as the
consumer is concerned were more
nominal than real. The great pro-
tected interests were all we'll looked
after. The nominal reductions in
iron and steel were little or nothing
as compared with what the great
American steel industry could readily
have borne. The textile Industries are
more carefully protected than under
the Dingley bill. There are, of course,
some good things in the law, such as
the relaxation Of the taxes on foreign
literature and art. 1t had been hoped
that congress would at least grant
the country a tariff commission which
could be Getting ready for a scientific
revision at m time in the future.
But this is exactly what the lobbyists
Of the great protected interests do not
want. The present chaotic method Of
tariff-making is the thing they are de-
termined to retain if possible.-Re-

AS st. Louis LAWYERS Talk,

Circuit Judge Reynolds had ap-
nounced that he would hear jurors
who had excuses to offer for not serv.
ing, and a dozen American citizens
crowded up to the bench to tell their
troubles. Their were as
varied as those who were hidden to
the feast that the Bible tells about.
One had an important engagement
and another could not hear very well,
and another had sickness in his fam
lily, and another had duties to per-
form which nobody else on earth could
perform, and another was going on
a journey. And So it went.
The last man in the line wanted to
be let off because he was a German.
He might have been excused if he had
not presented his excuse wrong end
forward.

of Daniel Mcdonald of Plymouth, who
as a member of the Indiana legisE,S
ture in 1907, secured an appropriation
of $4,000 for the purpose.
The site is one of the beauty spots
of nature. 1t is near where the olo
Indian chapel was built, under the di
rection Of Father Baden, in which
Menominee and his band, who had
embraced Christianity, worshiped for
many years. The monument was cut
from Vermont granite. The pedestal
is ten feet high, surmounted by the
statue of an Indian seven feet high, in
native costume. 1t is near the center
of the Menominee reservation.
The story which leads up to the
monuments erection is briefly told
In 1882 a treaty was made with some
Indian chiefs by which they coded
their lands to the United States fol
$4,000 and agreed to remove to In
dian Territory within two years.
Menominee refused to sign this treaty
or release his land to the government.
When the Indians who had signed the
treaty were ready to remove another
attempt was made to get the Menomi.

A council was called at Twin Lakes
and after considerable discussion Col,
Pepper, the Indian agent, told Chief
Menominee that he would have to re-
lease his lands and remove peaceably
OF be forcibly evicted. Then Menomi.
e arose, drew his blanket around
him and with dignity and ~eloquence
that would have done honor to famous
Chief Logan, rebuked the white man
for usurping the country. The coun,
Gil adjourned without result.
Later the Indians were accused of
molesting the white men. They were
surrounded by the military and for
chilly evicted. 1t was a sad scene
The village was wrecked. Mass was
sung in the little chapel by Father
Baden, the first Catholic priest or
dained in Indiana.
On September a, 1888, the process.

and finally withdrew in favor of the
priest. Father Baden fulfilled his mis-.
sion and his journey, but on his re.
turn he died. His body now lies al

They Didn't Have to CHANCE.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any n can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-

The Wolf in sheep,s CLOTHING.

A wolf, clothing himself in the skin
of a sheep, and getting in among the
flock, by this means took the oppor-
tunity to devour many of them. At
last the shepherd discovered him and
cunningly fastened a rope about his
neck, tied him up to a tree which
stood hard by. Some other shepherds
happening to pass that way and OBJ
serving what he was about, drew near
and expressed their admiration at it.

hanging Of a wolf whenever I catch
him, though in the habit and garb Of

PEOPLE WILL AWAKE
MONOPOLY TRIUMPHANT BUT
FOR THE MOMENT.
Ground Under the Wheels of Mo-
nopoly, There viii Come a Time
When Voters Can No Longer
Be Deluded.

In the west unusually high prices
for beef are explained on the ground
that the eastern demand is reckless
and insistent, that only the choicest
cuts are in favor and that the ex-
traordinary hunger of the plutocracy
is likely to create even a greater
scarcity before snow flies. Here in
New York the excuse is that supplies
at the packing centers are diminish
ing and that If growers will not mar
ket cattle, consumers must pay dearly
for meat or content themselves with
the frugal lobster.
Those who have given much atten-
ton to the cost-of-liying problem have
found as many difficulties and contra
dictions as are presented by polar ex-
plorations. Witnesses do not agree.
Facts do not coincide. Time, places
and conditions are all in conflict. In
the vast and complicated machine of
production, transportation and distri-
button there is no n spot that can
be located and of which is can be said,
Here Is the source of the trouble"
Food is comparatively a small item
in the cost of living, and yet what is
true of that is true also of every other
item. The tendency Of prices Is ever
upward, and as most incomes are
stationary it must be that thousands
of Americans are falling packard in
the social scale. Economies cannot
be confined wholly to the table. They
must cover rent, clothing, furniture,
household conveniences and comforts,
travel, amusement and ever medical
attention. There is plenty of room at
the bottom.
L will not always be possible for
craftsmanship resting wholly upon in
flated values and high taxes and
whose chief triumphs are colossal
trusts and ~barbaric private fortunes
to delude the large element which
finds itself year by year becoming
better acquainted with deprivation If
not privation. Americans have been
content as long as they could hope
for progress. If that shall be de-
MED to them their discomfort will
provide an issue one of these days
which will make stand pattism the po-
litical death-warrant of every man
who practices it.-New York World.
