Sunday Rest in Pittsburs.

Pittsburg, regarded by some as a
modern Nazareth. out of which no
good thing need be expected, has sur
prised the country by a sweeping
movement for Sunday rest. The plants
Of the United States Steel corporation
in Pennsylvania and Ohio were prac-
tically closed on Sunday, March 70.
against unnecessary labor. and this is
to be the order for the future. This
example is expected to be widely OIL
lowed. Indeed, it is already noted that
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
has ordered q suspension OF unneces-
sary Sunday work on all its lines. TX
on Sunday night at bedtime the CAPT
talist class must say. Now good-by,
God. for six days." says q writer IN
The Westminster (Philadelphia), let
it be possible on Saturday night Tor
the laboring masses everywhere to say.
Now good-by, devil of toll. for n
happy day." BY an order OF Mr.. p.
II. Cray, chairman Of the board OF di-
rectors OF HI steel corporation, the
spirit Of a resolution taken by that
body in April, 1907. is to be carried into
effect. The resolution reads:
ION motion, it was voted to recon-
mend to all subsidiary companies that
sunday labor be reduced to the mini
mum; that all work Excepting such
repair work as can not be done while
|~operating) be suspended on Sunday az
all steel works, rolling mills, shops.
auarries, and docks; that there shall
be no construction work, loading or
unloading OF materials.
cit is understood h a 1t is not at
present practicable TO apply the rec
concentration to all departments, not
ably the blast furnaces. but 1t is de-
sirable that the spirit Of h recon-
mendation be observed to the fullest
extent within reason."

John H. Pottiger, the Ida Grove vet

National Military Home, Kansas,
writes us that Col. C. w. Wadsworth,
assistant inspector general. has just
visited the home on his semi-annual
tour of inspection. and pronounced 1t
the best cared for institution in Ameri-
ca. He says the clothing Of the SOL
diers is in the best condition of n he
has seen during his tour, and his re-
port then goes on to say that next
week there will be $4,000 worth OF old
clothes. furniture and bedding that will
be burned.
Uncle Sam is inclined to be foolish

thousands of dollars he loses every
year in printing return envelopes and
beating the country printers out OF q

The other day Ft. Dodge vas voted
a new p~ostoffice, and the city wanted
to buy at a fair price the old building
and use it for a city hall. 1t is Uncle
Sans rule, however. not to sell old
buildings and the structure was wreck

there the government lost several
thousands of dollars, and now another
$40, 900 is to be burned up. Many

But they are beautiful dreams.
There wa a little incident in the Of
fee the other day which expanded or
would be hard to say which. For a few
weeks we had a printer whom a great
many people would have called a hobo
He wasn't for he worked a great deal
more than he tramped. But he had
the wanderlust too strong upon him
to maintain this habitat long In one
place. A genuine tramp printer stop
ped at the office one morning. There
isn't much to the story but 1t Is true.
There were so many good and apparent
that it was easy enough to explain the
situation to him. But our printer look
ed at it from another angle.
He made but one inquiry? Have you
got a union card? yes" Lets see It."
The card was produced and duly in
spected. "Give this man . dollar out
Of my wages" Then the printer went
to work. He afterwards explained
that the tramp would have done as
much for him il he had it when he
needed it.
As the tramp went out he remarked,

IL must have been. There wasn't a
smack of charity about the thing al all.
Just a little accommodation that one
member OF fhe brotherhood owed to
another.
Happening to be well acquainted
with the printers financial resources
we took a mental inventory OF his as
sets. He may have owned, allowing
very literally for the clothes he wore,
as much as $14. And yet he would
have had q dollar to spare for any
member Of the international Typo
graphical Union, who came to him
with a need as long as any of his prop
ctr could BE converted into cash. Fool

With our great institutions for the
unfortunate, with our organized charf-
ties, everything in the wholesale line Is
pretty well looked after. But there are

It may be that the church people

ton from ultra church sources.

and dainty furniture of the sixteenth
century, was cheerful symphony in

way station, facing the desolate, snow
covered plains. In the distance was a
miserable peasant village, with
thatched roofs. The train luxus, the
police, all the passengers, the mortal
remains Of the murdered prince, were
gone. The boy asked a stolid-faced
stationmaster what had become of his
employer, and the latter only
shrugged his shoulders and turned
away.
Wang entered the station, sat down
on a bench and thought for a long
time. Then he came out on the plat
form and walked up and down for an
hour-for two hours, after which he
entered the station and passed anoth-
er hour on the bench. Though he
had not eaten since noon, he did not
feel hungry. Toward midnight man
entered the ticket office, opened the
window and lighted a lamp. Wang
stepped up to the window.
"Do you expect a train?" he asked.
"Yes, in half an hour"
Going which way?"
ITO Moscow"
"How much is the fare?"
The agent told him, and the boy
found that he had enough money with
him to pay for third-class ticket and
leave few roubles over, sufficient to
buy food. He procured a ticket, and
when the train thundered up to
the station he boarded it and soon
was speeding back to the Muscovite
capital. Arriving there after two days

Il know nothing of the duel which
your honor alluded to as having taken
place" replied Wang. The boy showed
not the slightest sign of fear. His vel
low face was flushed, he held his head
high and looked the judge defiantly
in the eyes.

the latter. "Do not attempt to deceive
the court. We know more than you

Murder and Mystery.

Hardy was able TO leave the hospital
on February the first and return to his
quarters at the hotel, where he was
much more comfortable, for the hos
pitals of Moscow are inferior To those
of other European cities of equal size.
He was pale and weak. but his appe-
tite was good and he was gaining
strength rapidly. Though he had come
OFF secondbest In the duel. To all APP
pearances, yet his countenance had
taken on look not in any way char
acteristic of the man who has been
beaten or cowed by punishment. There
was something new in his eyes. and
there was aH expression about his
mouth that suggested rather the man
who has fought mental fight and
won. In his conversations with Wang
he avoided all mention either Of the
