The Steel Trust and Labor.

In IA well written editorial the Re.
public recently told the sad story Of
labor under its taskmasters in the
steel industry. 1t appears that
more than 10 per cent of the EN-
.ploycS in the steel industry work
twelve hours per day, seven days IN
tn" week. The steel trust wurships
no God and knows no Sabbath. For
TINS ceaSless round of drudgery,
half Of the men employed in the in
dustry receive only IL cents per
hour. The steel trust is one % pro-
t"rtion's favored pets. Next To the
wool schedule, it's the darling OF
the stand-pntters. And yet the pro-
lection which the American laborer
l. supposed to get under the system
means only perpetual grind at prices
that barely keep soul and body 10.
geth"r. The biggest hoax of Tn"
century is the fabrication about pro.
lection protecting the laboring man.

|ly entertained at the residenc e
of Mrs. Guy Smith last night.

the Christmas tree was laden
with presents. and it was great
fun finding the present. Strings
were laid about as thick as
telephone wires, each one had
to unite the string, wind it up.

and finally would come to the
tree and find themselves the
recipient of a little toy which
created much merriment. 1t
was very evident that the
choir hold their Organist and
Director in high esteem, for
she was presented with an
exquisite cut glass dish. MIR.
Geo. Schlagenhauff Jr. in a few
kind words, expressing the
harmonius attitude of the choir
made the presentation. Mrs
Smith responded in a happy
and kindly way to the whole
choir. Elaborate refreshments
were served, and each member
of the choir then received from
Mrs. Smith a very tasty calen-
dar, and each guest also re-
ceived a dainty Xmas greeting.
All had a jolly good time.

The first answer was not

The Only One OF Her Kind.
The beautiful young prisoner
entered the box in her own be-
half.
"What is your age, MISS"
asked the lawyer.
"Forty- eight" was the steady
reply.
The feminine jury caught its
breath with an audible little
gasp, and sat there rigid.
GLOW much did you pay for
hat you are wearing?"
"Ninety-eight cents"
care you guilty of the crime
that is charged against your
mo"
Thus did the willy prisoner
attempt to establish her vera
city and then convince the jury
that she was innocent. But

incurable insanity was brought
