L'ENvoY OF THE HOOKED GOWN

When the last hooked gowns in the ragbag. and the hooks are rusty and bent: When the buttoned gowns are but toned. and the dressmakers cease to invent Dark schemes to annoy poor husbands and weary and worn and old, When our thumbs have ceased from their aching, our heated re- marks grown cold, We shall rest-and. faith, we shall need it!-at peace in golden chair Shall Toll on a sort of throne like the man who'd the nerve to swear; {; And the man who set out with the wrong hook and ended the game in a fix. Shall hear the cold ice tinkling where the drinks of the gods they mix. There shall be no pads tn confuse us. no store shapes to get in their place, No foolish. silly contraptions, em- broidery or Irish lace; But all the hooking we do there, on that mythical star, Shall be with a sensible Harness up the Back of Things as They Are.

PLAIN GIRL HAS HARD LOT.
Employer Observes That Good Looks
 Go With Amiabe Disposition.

There seems to be less in modern life for the plain girl.
 Formerly compassionate people used to conclude that sine was more serious minded and commercially capable than her pretty sister. but now even that solace is being taken from her
 For even the business world is turning against her and her want of charm. Business men. always keen on getting the best value for their money, are now coming to the con clusion that the plain girl is not worth her salt as an employe.
 The spectacle, of scores of pretty girls all working together was grant ed to a correspondent at a big sub urban laundry.
 The girls were there because they were pretty. though, of course, a pret- ty girl who did not work well would not stay long.
 ''I always engage pretty girls in preference to plain ones," the man. ager explained. because ugly girls are always cross and unhappy over their duties. At one time I did not choose hands by their looks, but my experience shows that plain girls al- ways seem to have something un- pleasant on their minds. and that does not improve their work.
 Moreover. they are. as rule slovenly in their persons: they skimp their work in a sort of spirit os i'll humor; they are incapable of taking a reproof without being rude and inn pertinent in return. and altogether they are disagreeable.
 Ugly girls. I am convinced, are often ugly, because unpleasant thoughts have twisted then faces into unpleasant lines and angles Inter Ocean.

prices for copper. and next month throws men out of employment be- cause prices have fallen, is not d camp that miners like
 It is practically impossible for cop per producers to form a combination that could advance the price of cop per to an unreasonable height and hold it there. The unavoidable results of extremely high prices would be the produce copper for the high price. and of course a temporary but purely ab- normal demand for labor; next would come overproduction and drop in the market to a point below the nor nal level. the closing of many prop critics and stagnation of the market. with many thousands of men abruptly thrown out of employment. Then, through the slow course of years. as we have seen more than once, copper would gradually work back to a high CT price. In short. it is impossible for any combination of large producers of copper to control the market as prices are controlled in other lines by trusts; they cannot control production to any marked extent, unless they are satis- fled to take reasonable profit for their product. Producers of copper clearly recognize with MT. Bryan "the eco- homie law that a rise in price tends to lessen the demand, while a fall in price tends to increase the demand" And if the market is kept at a req sonable level-say around 14 to 15 cents-there will be a demand for la bor to the fullest extent that the world will absorb the product of our copper mines.

The Shirt Waist Strike.

The strike of the shirt waist makers in New York, which has been on for many months. is one of the most hotly contested struggles that the labor world has witnessed in years The thousands of girls on strike have shown such fortitude and resourceful- ness ,u their ultimate victory is not impro >le The manufacturers have not been sble to fill the places of the strikers. and are compelled to fill their orders from factories in other cities. This phase of the strike seems likely to lead to an extension of the trouble, involving shirt waist manu- lecturers generally.
 The New York girls. while offered various concessions by their former employers. have thus far declined to go back to work unless afforded recog- milton of their union. for they fear that the resumption of work would be followed shortly by punishment of all their number who have been conspicu- ous in the strike.
 This is one controversy in which the sympathy of the public is justly with the strikers. Not only the man. ufacture of shirt waists, but of wo- mems garments generally, is in the hands of girls and women. Until re- cent years. their lack of organization and their compelling necessities have forced them to work under the hard conditions of low wages and unsani- tary surroundings. with taskmasters ever ready to impose fines for any violation of factory rules. Organiza- ton has bettered their condition ma teriaHy. but there remains much to be desired. Above all. the elimination of the garment making sweatshop can- not come too soon.

Mir. Bryan and The Republican.

MT Bryan, in his Commoner. finds fault with The Republican because we mentioned certain well established economic facts that relate to the cop per industry. Referring to the pro- jected combination of large copper producers. we said. some weeks ago:
 '1n the course of adjusting the pro- duction to the demand there will be an increase in prices and curtail7 ment of labor. The latter condition would have to come in any event. It takes just so much labor to produce a certain amount of copper, and there would not, in any case, be more pro- duced, for any considerable period of time, than might be needed
 With rather less than his accus- toned fairness, MT. Bryan concludes his article with the statement:
 'The Republican has inadvertently exposed the whole plan of the trust. but instead of denouncing the scheme it defends it"
 MT Bryan is here referring to the curtailment of labor on nonprofitable properties which would inevitably fol- low the placing of the copper industry upon a permanently stable basis. It is.one thing to state a familiar law of nature, or of economies. and quite another thing to be glad of such law. We might with equal fairness say: MT. Bryan points out the familiar truth that when money is plentiful in quantity its purchasing power is less. and consequently the prices of all commodities are higher; therefore, Mir. Bryan. because he recognizes the in- evitable working of this law. defends and approves high prices
 The Republican was pointing out to labor the consolatory fact that in the long run only so much copper is con- stunned in any event: that in the course of years only so much labor will be employed in the production of copper, and that stable prices for copper make stable demand for la bor. The mining camp that is on a boom this month because of inflated

It now seems probable that Secre- tary knox's proposal to the powers to neutralize the Manchurian railway. which was at first received coldly in European capitals and at Tokio, will be accepted If MT. Knox wins, he will have added brilliant achieve ment to the long list of diplomatic complished since he became a world power.

NELLIE DIDN'T MISS OUT"
Maude Adams Learned Later Who Had
 Sent the Pretty violets.

Edward Box is the authority for the latest Maude Adams story. It seems that a little girl of g. who lives in Trenton, N. J., saw Miss Adams play Peter Pan" two years ago. She wrote Miss Adams, telling her so. but in the stress and shuffle of theatrical hurry received no answer. Yet the child's faith in her actress never wavered. About this time she began saving her allowance for an unnamed purpose. The allowance was six cents a week, which she increased occasionally to nine and even ten by doing family errands.
 A year later, when Miss Adams was playing What Every Woman Knows" at the Empire theater, during the hol- iday weeks. the little girl persuaded her father to take her to New York. She had accumulated s4.12. The ob- ject of the hoard then appeared. The four dollars bought just hundred violets and those violets went to Miss Adams at the Empire theater. And now the tragedy occurred.
 Through somebody's error the little note that was sent with the flowers never reached me tSIdr, ana Sne Knew of no one to thank. So the little girl went back to Trenton and waited day after day. her faith in her goddess sorely tried.
 At this point enter Edward Box. ed itor of the greatest woman's periodical on earth. At dinner in Philadelphia he happened to overhear the story told by an aunt of the little girl
 MT Box knows Miss Adams and he knew that something ought to be done. So. without discriminating himself. he drew out of the narrator the name of the little girl. which in part was Nellie. and her parents address in Trenton. The outcome of all this was that when Miss Adams played in Trenton, there was a surprise for Nellie. The heavens opened and out of the opening came an enormous photograph of Peter Pan with an autograph inscription and an invitation to come behind the scenes at the end of the performance. Nellie accepted-New York Telegraph.
