Bunch and had spent our first day
in disguise at the race track as con-
servators of Uncle Peters fortune.
We had schemed to get him to buy
his bets with key Schwartz, specially
engaged by us, in order to get his
money and give it back to him when
he saw the error of his ways.
Bunch, as a Dago bootblack, had
had a funny sceance with the real
shines, to which /. unknown to Bunch,
had been a spectator.
When ] reached the hotel Bunch
was peeling of the makeup, and he
was SO mad he couldn't tell his own
name.
Damunclepeteri" he spluttered as
/ entered the room.
Hello, old Cherryripe!" l chortled,
pretending not to know anything
about his throw-down. Why didn't
you keep your date with me at the
trsck?"

had all l could do to choke off the
laugh HE can take his money and
his matches and have a prairie fire,
for all care-Im through"
What, Bunch!" l exclaimed with
well-simulated Indignation; leave me
fiat now that we've got our plan cook
ing fine? Shake me now after letting
Uncle Peter win $500 of our good
money? Bump me to the tanbark
Just when the wheeze is ready to
pull? What's the matter with you?
"Matterhell!" yelled Bunch, and
then he told it ell. Didn't land your
fat-headed old uncle for shoe shine
five minutes after l struck the
grounds. Didn't | work like beaver
to put the sparkle on his ferryboats,
and didn't l tell him there wasn't any
charge SOS to get solid with him and
be able to use him later on! And
what then? Why mob of real Mac
aronis hustled me away from the
main push and demanded to see my
union card. How'd | know that all
the Guinea boot-blowers belonged to
q secret society? They wanted to
know what my name was and l had
to keep my mouth shut like beef
stew. How could l tell what my
name is in Italian?"
It's a strange fact that one has to
bend almost double in order to I'M
lace a pair of Reub shoes. so Bunch
couldn't see my face, which was just
as we'll
They kept me there, husky bunch
of them, for over an hour, wrapping
up Italian compliments in garlic and
hitting me on the nose with them"
Bunch went on in deep disgust. Then
a fresh Cop rolled up and threw me
off the farm. Damunclepeter!"
BY dint Of much patience, persua-
sion, talk, and no laughter at all,
finally succeeded III getting Bunch
down on the earth again, and he
agreed to go to Ruraldene with me
to begin that weeks visit.
The trip to the woodlands cured
him, and by the time we reached
Doves Nest Villa Bunch was as chip
per as of yore and rather inclined to
see a laugh peeking through the stron-
uous events of the day.
Uncle Peter came home that even
ing spry as cricket, but never a
word about the track or the horses
passed his lips or ours.
Next morning we didn't even get a
flash of the old fellow. Aunt Martha
said he had left for town early to at
lend to some very important business.
AT Zurberg's hotel later on Bunch
and l met Ikey and we prepared a
plan to make Uncle Peter sick and
tired of horses, thereafter and forever.

Some Reasons Why the Employer

about the new science OF business
management since q witness before

gain $1,000 900 q day. The first au-
Initiative presentation of the subject
appears in the March American Maya

science. Frederick W. Taylor. among
his many ideas and comments M
TAYLOR AYERS that the fundamental
principle on which industry appesrs

LAWS FOR BELGIAN PAINTERS
Restrictions Regarding lntoxIcants-s
Employers Responsibiiities-Pro-
lection for the Careless.

Belgium has just drawn up a spe-
cial code of laws governing painters
and the exercise of their craft which
are singularly strict and exhaustive.
From the fashion In which the new
laws hedge them In with enforced
precautions one would think painting
the most dangerous trade in the
employer Of painters may employ q
man who drinks alcoholic beverages
to the temporary extinction OF his
logical power, and no intoxicating
liquors are to be brought into the vi
entity of the workers. Employers are
responsible for the care which their
men take of their persons.
They must see that every painter
washes his hands before eating, sus-
pend the men whose health is not
satisfactory. and discharge any one
suffering from lead poisoning. A
painter may not wear the same
clothes on the street or In his home
which he uses III his trade. He is in
peratively required 70 arm himself
with special suit Of clothes and a
screened hat.
Contractors and master painters
are restricted in the use of white lead
to the ground lead mixed with oil,
and 1t is stipulated that this mixture
must be so handled tnst it does not
splash or come in contact with the
painters hands.
The law strictly forbids scraping of
dry painted surfaces in which white
lead has been used. This will doubt
less prevent much carelessness and
protect the careless painter frolu his
own indiscretion, but it is terribly re-
strictive and smacks Of over-legisla.

Washington Paid His Card Debts.

The number of lives lost in coal
mining operations in this country
from 1898 to 1908 was 20,293, or 3.11
deaths for every one thousand men
employed. That is much higher rate
than obtains in Great Britain. France
Austria or Germany. An appreciable
saving in life is expected to result
from the creation last year Of fed
eral bureau of mines, which Is to try
10 improve mining methods here and
TO teach miners to be more careful
and systematic. There is great feld
for such missionary work.

Function of Individual From the
Governing Class.
HIS EXPERIENCE VALUABLE
Laboring Classes Should Not SIIuht
the Enlightened Energy of Him
Who Comes From Other Groups
to Help Produce New Society.

The cry of the dispossessed is COM
polling. The working classes must
show the way to social advance. They
alone, free from sentimentality, the
curse of the privileged, and from abb
stract theorizing, the curse of the
scholastic, have that grim experience
of the reaction of economic condi-
lions on the majority from which
right judgment can be born. But If
their function be to furnish momen-
tum, and corporate wisdom, the pow
er OF individual initiative and director
ship will often in the nature of things
be generated among those governing
classes in whom these gifts have been
fostered.
II education and administrative ex-
perieEce are valuable enough to share,
1t Is obvious that the dumb proletariat
must to certain extent look to the
classes that possess them for the
revelation of its own sealed wisdom
and the guidance of It's confused pow
ers. The enlightened energy of those
who come from other groups to serve
1t should not be sighted Their high
impulses, their rich devotions are also,
to ultimate vision, within, not with
out, the evolutionary process-a proc
ess broader, deeper than current
Marxianism admits. In them that
wider loyalty. toward which class con-
seriousness itself is cropping, has been
born already, and to assert that they
have no part in social advance and
that the working class must produce
unaided the new society, would be to
deny democracy at the root.
The best, the final work of democ-
racy will be to give us all the freedom
of the city of the common life. This
all Americans know in theory. Let US
beware lest we deny it in deed by
