Besides the regulation OF female labor,
there are several complaints pending in
my office against alleged violators Of the
child labor law. What will be done In those
cases depends entirely on the disposition
OF the parties concerned. II they quit their
bad practices and stick to the letter of
he law we shall be satisfied. II they do
not, they can have a fight in court.
"And I want to direct attention to the
fact that a statute exactly, similar to that
Of Nebraska, governing the employment Of
female labor has been strongly upheld by
the supreme court Of the United States, In
a decision written by Justice Brewer in a
case carried up from oregon. The hours
between 6 in the morning and 10 at night
are surely long enough in which to put In
ten hours Of work. Employment Of girls
and women outside these hours must
cease. "

The Fur Coat.

LENRY E. DIXEY, the brilliant come
= = dian, has a seasonable after-supper
speech called 1.-The Fur Coat" Tho
speech runs:
There is an atmosphere about q fur
lined coat. Its wearer looks upon other
men as pariahs. If you want to madden
the sumptuous creature. hint that the
fur he is so proud of is imitation, and he
will foam at the mouth. When the fur
is real his rage is Ineligible: and when
it Is false he is naturally beside himself
at seeing his secret revealed to a de-
risive world.
"One of the bitterest moments of my
dear friend Jasper Jays life was occa-
stoned the other day by the thoughtless
jeer of a rude taxicab driver
Jasper Jay had. thanks to the con-
f1ding and truthful nature of a Broad
way tailor. purchased q fur coat with a
superb collar of aStrakhan-the real
thing. 1 assure you on my honor. the
real thing.
Jasper the other day was crossing 9Th
avenue in this superb garment and had
to hop hurriedly out of the way of a
taxfcab. The mud splashed him, he was
irrtated. and so he upbraided the driver
The latter sneered and taking his cigar
cite from his scornful lips. he said:
'Aw, git out, ye curly-haired re-
triever!'
Jasper was cut to the heart, for il
was not a retriever; really and truly IL
was not. But a friend was with him
and the friend reported the taxicabman's
words. and now whenever Jasper essays
to show off his splendid coat at the club
