the shooting of Esporito, at Dilworth

SOME OF LIFEs lRoNIEs.
Little Incidents That Place All Men or
Common Plane,


Washington Post: Life is fuIr ~
little ironies that some time level the
rich with the poor, the brilliant with
the blockhead, youth with old age, the
powerful with the impotent, the tenn
perance advocate with the drunkard.
few nights ago a well-known tenn
perance advocate of North Adams.
Mass, slipped on the ice and broke
both legs. The pain was excruciating.
and he rolled on the sidewalk and an
pealed to the passers-by for help.
Men and women walking past the
helpless man made a detour. and as
frequently happens, simply murmured.
Drunken beast" Many of them nm
doubtedly were temperance advocates
themselves. They believed in charity.
helpfulness and brotherly love. And 40
they turned up their noses and passed
by.
After Ave or ten minutes, during
which the temperance advocate groan-
ed and writhed on the cold pavement.
the town drunkard came along. Hell
lo!" he said. Looks as though you're
up against It," And the town drunk
ard carried the temperance advocate
to the house OF the nearest doctor.
1t was just one of life's little ironies
One OF those incidents that make us
picture some higher power looking
down and smiling at our seriousness
There are times when the world seems
surcharsed with its own Importance.
when men feel their own power grow
ing; when surgeons feel that they can
almost bring the dead from the grave;
when engineers feel that bridge 70
heaven would not be impossible.
Then comes one Of those unexplain-
able Incidents flood, fire, cyclone
wiping out the work of man with a
mighty hand. Or 1t may be just a lit
tie incident like that of the temperance
advocate on the sidewalk. 1t just seems
like little game that all OF us have
played-sitting near an ant-hill and
shifting one of the busy little insects,
or walling 1t in away from it's family
or putting IL in a little pool of water
to see whether necessity will become
the mother Of invention.

HOmemaklng
lT 10 NOW INCLUDED IN THE
MODERN scHEME or
EDUCATION.

THE true homemaker is so much In
= demand that our colleges are giving
special courses to bring back the over
educated modern young woman to the
home 'The history of happy nation
Is the history Of it's homes" And as q
great nation we can't afford to neglect
ours.
The woman who keeps up q cheerful
atmosphere in the home. who provides
appetizing, nourishing food and COM
fort for her husband and children, is
doing a great work, far greater than
she who neglects husband and child
and goes out in the world to make her
mark. She can make 1t infinitely more
successfully at home and in such way
that her work will influence many lives
besides her own.
To be a homemaker means something
more than a housekeeper. good
housekeeper often succeeds In making
home the most cherries place on earth
with her polished floors over which one
hardly dares to walk and her best fur
niture she hates to have one use.
A homemaker, on the contrary, would
make CHEEKY place Of an attic or re-
ceive in one room SO that you would
think you were in palace. She knows
just how to place pillows at the most
comfortable angle and how to plan O
little dinner that is a miracle Of cozi-
ness and yet is inexpensive.
Most girls when they marry want to
be homemakers, but their ignorance Of
household matters prevent them from
being successes. That Is why these
courses In colleges and public schools
are such good things-they help tht
future wives and mothers of this lani
90 insure their own happiness
The day will surely come around
again when the badly kept home will
be the exception instead of the rule and
when a woman will glory in her house
keeping as her mother did; but, even
more than that. she will glory in the
happiness of those whose comfort iR
intrusted to her care.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY


Minneapolis. Mimi, March 10.-Tae
buying power was not SO rapid today
but the market absorbed the offer
ings fairly well and closed with a
strong undertone following session
marked by comfortable long hquida-
tons.
We have advised conservation in
following the sharp advances too
closely with purchases but we believe
the market win sell higher and that
moderate recessions will prove favor
able buying spots Our Information
discloses a serious winter wheat con-
dition and there is large amount of
actual damage that cannot be recover
ed by the warmer spring weather.
The area to be abandoned this
spring will be large. There will be
price recessions as the leadership in
the market is not yet well defined.
Advantage should be taken to buy as
the possibility Of a broad bull market
are quite pronounced. Minneapolis
May has developed marked independ-
strength and Is, we believe heavily

Old Ace Pensions in Eranoe.

London Letter to New York Sun:
| The French old age pensions scheme,
the bill for which has just passed it's
first reading in the senate. follows the
Prussian rather than the English meas
ure. AS in Prussia, 1t is contributory
and compulsory, workmen and employ
ers contributing an equal amount an
nually.
| Men are to pay $3.50. women $3.50,
and persons under Is, 80 cents yearly
until their 65th year, when they will
become entitled to a pension, which
will be paid from the total contribu-
tions plus the employers quota and a
sum tof $12 year paid by the state.
The conditions for receiving the full
| pension are that the worker shall have
contributed to the fund for thirty years,
| including in the case of men the two
years of military service. Those who
have contributed for more than ten
years and less than thirty will be en-
titled to a reduced pension.
Existing friendly societies which may
be taken into the scheme will be au-
| thorized to collect old age contribu-
tions from their members. They will
receive from the state a contribution
of 30 cents a head for sickness and in
surance. plus an additional sum to COW
er expenses.
The working classes in France are
estimated to number 100000. The
government has agreed with the oppo-
sition so far as to restrict the princi-
pie of compulsory contribution to
town and rural wage earners other
wise workmen in the ordinary sense
of this term, and to make contribution
optional to the large class of small
farmers, petty land owners and part
profit cultivators (metayers), all of
whom are laborers in reality. If they
do not contribute they cannot profit
by the pensions scheme. These rural
| classes are computed at 100000 in
number
Forty years hence, when the scheme
is I'm full operation, the pensioners will
have $50 a year They will start the
year after the bill is passed with $2O.4O
year. the pension to rise gradually
during the interval.
The chief newspapers on the gov
eminent side predict that early in
April the bill will become law, and
will be regarded as the greatest achieve
ment of the third republic; but a
great many prominent politicians are
not so optimistic Many senators have
voted for the second reading of the
bill for no other reason than getting
better opportunity of making more
systematic and concentrated attack
of the compulsory CLAUSE.

Continued from Parc one.


Philadelphia National league ball club.
The director of public safety de-
cided that the proposed meeting would
not be allowed to take place and that
the gathering was in conflict with tie
proclamation issued by the mayor for
bidding all gatherings on streets The
strikers attorney replied that police
power could not abolish the constitu-
tionai right of citizens to peacefully
assemble for a lawful purpose.
The baseball club is enlarging The
seating capacity of the park and the
improvement was stopped when the
general strike was begun. The man.
agement asked the union leaders to
permit the contractor to continue his
work, and permission was granted on
the condition that the club would let
the strikers use the grounds for a
mass meeting today.
This was quickly agreed to. but
when the city authorities heard of it
they declared the meeting would not
be permitted. Counsel for the strikers
insists that legally the ball park is the
same as a hall, as the grounds are in
closed and the authorities have no
right to stop the meeting.
