tain phases of what constitutes ma

president as involving violation OF our
treaty with Japan and importing Her
friendship. While the western states
will in all probability patriottcally yield
to such suggestion there is danger that
their abandonment of such legislation
may be misunderstood by thes eastern
states, whose people are un1amlllar

attendant upon Asiatic immigration ana

There should be broad national leg

The Spirit of Work.

The amount of work which each
man accomplishes during the day de-
Ponds upon other factors than the
mere hours of labor. and the most i'm
portant of these factors is the spirit
in which the work is done. The spirit
of the days work will depend upon the
personal relation which exists be-
tween the Office and the workshop. II
the employer is known to be inter
ested in the welfare of his men, they
will be, more truly than otherwise,
his retainers, more jealous for the
prosperity of his business; but If his
relation to them is that OF a taskmas-
ter, they will be his slaves. merely,
and quite capable of any treachery.
The effort of the employer who would
gain the loyal service of his men must
be to preserve in every possible way
the individuality of the employe, to
emphasize his manhood, and thus to
increase his self-respect.-J. T. Lin

The JOY Of Life.

Pray heaven that when your child is
born he may have the 10y of life.
There is not a gift to compare with It
Riches will not buy it. i'll health will
not rob its pOssessor of 1t. Brains do
not insure its possessions nor lack OF
wits prevent one from feeling the Joy
of life.
1t must now and then amuse the
gods when they see some long-faced
and heart-heavy philanthropist up
lifting" some child of poverty whose
delight in mere existence no noisome
tenement or the small amount of food
he eats can take away from him.
That poor lame newsboy, who basks
on the warm gratings along News
paper row and whose knees peep out
of his trousers and stimulate your
sympathies as you pass by. needs
neither your kind word nor your coin
to make him happy. He happens to
have the Joy Of life, and it will stay
by him to the end, whether that end
be the potter's field or a more fash
ionable burying ground.-Smith's Mag
aZine.
