From the corridor one passes through the household kitchen to the old one, which is never used and the walls of which literally lined from top to bottom with every class of earthen cooking vessels, wooden spoons, forks and choco- late beaters. Near by is the dining room, whose long table contains quaint collection of vases and dishes, while the walls hung with pic lures and painted porcelain bowls in two of which the portraits of Maximilian and Car lotta.

 The daughter, in speaking of the school for poor children which occupied room on the first floor of the house for years said: Yes, my father established the school and maintained it for many years In more recent years the teacher was paid by the town government and three years ago the school moved by that same authority to house in the village immediately back of this, which is known La Resurrec- tion. ,"
 When asked about the sale of articles of the museum she said "Yes, have had some offers, but they have been made principally by tourists and have usually been very small, while many Of the things here cost my father much money For example the gun. of Miramon and the cross of La Musa Mexicana each cost $500. Of course many things were presented to him by friends who knew of his interest in rare and historic things but" she added tenderly, "everything is very dear to and we do not care to part with anything"

The consequences were, first, that the maids, including the cook, left Second, that the man had to go out for all of his meals and became a slave to a cross-eyed waiter; and, third, that his wife divorced him for the winter, the grounds of complaint being that he growled continually of cold feet, though this fact was not al lowed to reach the newspapers.
 The idea came to him one evening after the cross-eyed waiter had re- turned his quarter to him with the unasked advice that he might need it to buy petrol for his flying machine, and that the waiting brotherhood rec ognized no smaller coin than half a dollar. He thereupon swore a dire oath that he would shake the mud of New York from his shoes for the win ter and go to Europe; and, "by gol- ly"-here is the idea-"there would be not tip on the way, if he could help it.

Reform on the kongo.

One of the gratifying results that
has followed the accession of King AL
bert to tn. Belgian throne has been
the taking of prompt steps to reform
the horrible conditions that have exist
cd on the kOngo.
Conditions under the administration
of the cruel and rapacious Leopold
were such as to call forth the con-
demnation of the civilized world.
When the congress of Berlin placed
the Kongo Free State under the rule
of that monarch it did not contemplate
that he would exploit it for his per
sonal gain. 1t was to remain open to
terms, and it was assumed that it
wOuld be given wise. humane
and progressive government. All
the world knows that Leopold
proved faithless to his trust.
While the open door" policy remained
in theory, it was practically abrCgated
through the granting of concessions to
the agents of King Leopold that prac-
tically resulted in diverting the re-
sources of the country to the pockets
of that willy monarch. A system of
forced labor. based upon taxation, re-
suited in reducing large portion Of
the native population to a condition Of
virtual slavery. 1t is evident that
King Albert has determined to correct
existing abuses and to give the Kongo
Free state, a government more in har-
gress of Berlin, and more in keeping

Do You Care?
BY ETHEL X. DOWLE

BY ETHEL X. DOWLER.
My brother. do you ever think
How many, many homes today,
Beneath the awful curse of drink
For food, your warmth. and shelter pray
Does not your heart sometimes feel sore
For those in places you would dread,
VINO search the garbage DER, and Ger
For cen crumb of mouldy bread?
Do you not know that mothers weep.
And many hungry children die;
While down in sin so deep, so deep,
In drunkenness the fathers lie?
They care not for their homes and
friends,
Their lives are but tale of woes;
But on you. brother much depends
If your vote helps to make them So
If you but knew that by your vote
These lonely hearts could be made glad:
Would you to Right your life devote
And help to brighten homes so sad?
You may these lonely hearts make
bright
II you will vote as well as pray;
Then oh, my brother, do the right,
And help to hasten that bles't day.
And when in Heaven you meet at last
With those with whom you have helped
to save;
If you, on earth. your vote have cast

You will rejoice that you for Right
And Prohibition took your stand:
That you while here on earth did fight

Redistribution Of Labor Needed.


The South has taken up the cry fo'
more men and the cry is backed by
real need of more men, not mere de-
rire to advertise, as has been the case
at times with some of our miooie
Western states. The South neeos

are being developed, its transporta'
ton facilities improved, it's agricuitur
al activities increased. It is accept
ing machinery of the latest pattern u
aid in its work, but strive as II VIII
the labor element cannot be eiiIhi
mated. Therefore, the men ol ''''
South are organizing for the purpose
of fostering an immigration movement
calculated TO overcome this serious
handicap--lack of labor.
The South is now looking 10 'ht
British Isles. to Sweden and to othei
North European states for ii hisi
class of Immigrants, capable OF al
once taking their place in Southerr
business activities. II has peen Sus-
eested and the suggestion seems to bt
worthy of some consideration at least
that there is really no need TO- &c
across ;he Atlantic for this labor
Some of the cities of the Atlantic sea
hoard and few in the Middle West
and several of the Pacific slope are
oyercrowded with the very class ol
men the South needs. There is work
enough for all when prosperity is al
flood tide, but as the wave recedes
more and more are thrown out of EN-
ployment until, i'm days of stress
thousands are found in the bread
lines and at the soup houses. IL
would seem, therefore, that If some

The Brave Briqades.

Away, away in the morning. to the re-
veile of life.
Over the valleys of sweetness into the
cities of strife:
The brave brigades of the toilng, unto
the mills they stream.
Beautiful out of the starry night of rest
and the golden dream.
Away. away in the morning-good- at
the little gate,
Where love shall stand still eventide with
roses of love to wait.
Over the hills of morning, down to the
streets to roar.
The brave brigades of the daily life from
valleys of resting pour.
Away, away in the morning, and back in
the Star-Sweet gloom,
With lips to the lips of love that wait
under the gates of bloom;
The brave brisades of the toling, the
steady and tried and true,
Good night to you and the little eyes that
glimmer with love for you.
