The mother of Ben Aissa's wife was
another victim Of this blOodthirsty ty-
rant. She was rescued just half alive
after five weeks confinement in a
dark cell, where she was loaded with
letters. Those acquainted with Moor
ish customs have been able to gather
from her condition what she had I'M
dergone. First. they ga her right
hand was sewn up In a damp raw
hide, which by contracting crushed
the hand and rendered it useless. Then
she was hung up by ope or chains

the strain causing her bonds to cut
deeply into the flesh; and her legs
and feet were at the same time
chained. Hafd cares not whether his
bloodthirsty soldiers harm the inno-
cent or the guilty. In either case they
serve his purpose in making terrible
the name of Mulai Hafd.
The credit Of exposing these brutal1-
lies is due 10 the persistency or two
women connected with the Fee Med1-
cal mission and the French and Eng
lish consuls.

VIZ lSHINGTON.-The value Of farm
w land per acre in the north central
a.uJes has practically doubled in the
last ten years. according TO a bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The to-
tai value of farm lands and buildings
in the division has increased from less
than $1,000 600 in 1900 to more than
500 0U. 600 in 1910, while the number
of farmers has increased only a fraC-
ton Of one per cent.
More thar two-thirds Of the farmers
in the section own their own farms,
while more han half these owners
have their and free from mortgage. A
slight decrease from 1900 is shown in
the number Of owners, while the ten
ant farmers have increased by more
than twenty per cent. A significant
feature of the bulletin is the indication
given that the older states Of the sec
ton are decreasing In agricultural i'm.
p]OrtanCe, presumably owing to in
creases In urban manufacturing popu-
latiOns.
The total amount of land included
il farms in 1910 was reported as 349,-
962, 900 acres, as compared with 3D.
349, 900 acres in 1900, an increase OF
80, 613, 900 acres, or ten per cent. This
important increase is largely due to
the extension of agricultural activities
into western North and South Dakotas,

The Toledo Blade thinks that those
that conceived Labor day builded bet
ter than they knew. They not only
taught themselves their strength, but
they emphasized the idea that work
is the bond of brotherhood for all. The
key of the world is work, and more
and more the part of the drone is be-
coming harder to play.
perhaps this altered view might
have come in the course OF time any
way. 1t was preached by the car
penter of Nazareth centuries ago. But
labor has FASTENED it's entrance into
public policy. The union is but the
expression OF a consideration for
others. Each man is working for him
self works for his comrade. In prac-
tice, 1t has other definition, other
terms, out this is the underlying prin-
ciple. And as the worker has striven
for the embodiment OF an idea into
his personal life, so is he bringing 1t
into the life of all. The story of
labor is not written. Its future Is
only family guessed at by a few far
seeing economists. 1t must march

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

II think the C%uticura remedies are
the pest remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but 1t did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. AT last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle Of C%uticura Re-
solvent, a box Of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We rave
the Resolvent as directed. washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never como back again. HIS
head was healthy and he had q beau
tiful head of hair. I think tho Cutl-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and O1nt-
ment are sold everywhere. a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to CUT
cura." Dept. - l., Boston.

How DR.. Graham Bell Keeps Away Heat

n RING the recent heat waves, cost
II ing in six days 12O lives In New
york city alone. DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, the inventor Of the tele-
phone, stocked up the ice stove. his
newest invention, in his Washington
home, and felt quite comfortably cool
while others were sweltering in an at
mOsphere from which there appeared
to be no prospects of relief. Doctor
Bell is not going to patent his ice
stove. Now that he has given 1t a
thorough test and is satisfied that it Is
practical, he says everybody is at lib
erty to make and use the invention in
any way that may seem desirable or
beneficial.
Doctor Bells ice stove is the exact
opposite Of the ordinary coal furnace.
While the latter consumes coal and
radiates heat to keep up the tempera-
ture, the former consumes ice and ra-
dates cooling waves of air to keep 1t
down.
On the ground DOR of Doctor Bells
Washington residence Is what was
once a swimming tank. Having been
built to hold water. it can safely be
depended upon to hold cold air. 1t Is
a well known fact that cold air Is
heavier than warm air. Everybody has
noticed that when a window is opened
in a room in cold weather the feet feel
the cold first. This is because The
admitted cold air has fallen to the
floor. So if cold air vas poured into
the ordinary room 1t would flow out

Changing Ideal

it would like to make the hours short
enough so that all will have to work.
1t notes that banking and profess
sional men work five hours or less,
and hopes to reach the same ideal
some time.
To provide work for the idle affects
the supply Of and demand for labor
and favOrably affects wages-as all
s~hOrt-hour trades we'll know-but the
desire of the worker to have some
time for recreation and amusement
stimulates the demand for shorter
hours.
AS our w~ageearnerS become better
educated they become moro deter
mined to have more of the benefit Of
labor-saving machinery.
They desire more leisure that their
industrial life may be prolonged.
They desire their fellow-men to be
employed.
They desire good wages and realize
that to preserve them their fellow
men must be employed.
The late George E. Mcneil, called
the father of the eight-hour move
ment, said Eight hours for work,
eight hours for rest, eight hours for
what we will"
This seems like an equitable divis-
ion as long as eight hours is the OBJ
j~ective, but as invention follows inven-
ton, it is likely the figures will have
to be revised.
The ideal short hour workday is the
shortest day possible that will give
good wages, and give the largest meas
ure Of freedom, recreation and enjoy
ment to the worker, enabling him to
support his family, educate his chill
dren, and lay aside something for the
rainy day.

TIE military value of the cavalry
L branch has been enormously in
creased by the adoption Of wireless
telegraphy, for the first time in this
country thoroughly tried out in the
Texas maneuVerS.
The signal corps had devised an ex-
tremeIy light and portable wireless APP
paratus, easily carried on the back Of
a horse and capable of being put into
operation from any point in the field
within a few minutes. 1t was fOund
that the messages could be readily re-
ceived when the cavalry detachment
was anywhere within twenty-five miles
Of n receiving station, a fact which
added greatly to the value Of the cav
airy in its scouting capacity. A light
collapsible steel mast. not much larger
than a fishing rod, served to support

TO LABOR.

Shall you complain who feed the world
Who Clothe the world2
Who house the world?
Shall you complain who are the world,
or what the world may do?
As from this hour
You use your power,
The world must follow you.
The worlds life hangs on your right
hand,
Your strong right hand,
Your skilled right hand;
You hold the whole world In your hand
See to It what you do!
Or dark or light,
Or wrong or right,
The world is made by you!
Then rise as you ne'er rose before.
Nor hoped before,
Nor dared before,
And show as ne'er was shown BEFORE
The power that lies in you!
Stand all as one
Till right Is donei
Believe and dare and do!

Not Impressed.

Nine. Nordica at a garden party at
Deal Beach, said apropos OF her re
cent European tour:
Many good people refuse to be I'M
pressed by the armless and legless
fragments of antique sculpture treas
ured in the museums or the old
world.
"One day in the British museum a
guide was ~recounting to q little knot
of tourists the glories of a battered
centaur, when a Chicago meat sales
man broke the reverent hush with the
question:
Excuse me, sir, but what would
they feed a bloke like hat on-han
and eggs or hay?"

1T also Is required that the land

~ RGANIZED labor's ideal Of a
short workday changes with
"a ~ varying conditions. At one timo
~~ II was customary to work II or
more hours per day, but as civilization
advanced the working day has been
steadily reduced.
In reducing the hours OF labor the
unions have been chiefly instrumental,
as they have in various trades estab-
lished a shorter wOrkday and thsn fol-
lowed it up by legislation wherever
they have been strong enough.
Though Eight hours" may be the
objective which organized labor no."
seeks to accomplish, it does not fol-
low that eight hours is ideal, or that
it will be the goal of the future. The
short-hOur movement rests 1uhoa-
mently upon necessity.
"The constant Improvement in ma
chinery and consequent displacement
of labor, together with the further dis
placement of labor by the tendency
toward consolidation in all Hnes OF IN
dustry, must ultimately compel US to
choose between three things: First,
we may shorten the hours On labor to
distribute opportunity for employment,
or, second, we may tax property to
support the idle. or, third, we may
have revolution"
This mastery and unaswerable sum
ming up of the underlying causes Of
the short-hour movement was by a
statesman, no less than the late
Thomas B.. Reed.
1t follows hat as long as machinery
and methods continue so to improve
that less and less hours are required
for productive labor, the ideal work
ing day will be shorter and shorter.
Labor does not expect to live with
out work-it complains that there are
too many who live without work, and

IS A MODERN NERO
Moroccan Sultan the Worlds
Most Cruel Ruler
Denounced as a Monster for Whom
Only the Later Roman and BY
zantine Empires Can Find
a Rival.

LOndon.-The most cruel ruler to-
day is Mulai Hahd. the sultan of Mo-
rocco. Mulai Hatid is a monster of
cruelty for whom only the later Ro-
man nd Byzantine empires can find a
rival. 1t is almost impossible to be-
lieve hi so monstrous and barbarous
a relic Of medievaltsm as Hahds court
in Fee should exist at the very door
of Europe.
Mulai Hafd's reign has been marked
by the most outrageous cruelt1es from
the outset. Immediately on assuming
power he began by mutilating and tor
turing his prisoners, and his aDo1nl-
nable brutalities evoked outspoken
protests from the consuls of the pow
ers at Fee, who drew up a collective
note demanding that in future all
punishments involving mutilatlon or a
lingering death should cease. To that
Mulai Hafd's practical answer was
the putting to death by throwing to
the lions of his hapless state prisoner,
the pretender Ell Roghi, who had for
some time past been undergoing a
cruel punishment, being carried about
on show, cramped up in an iron cage.
One or the worst cases OF torture
laid to Mulai Hafid's charge, the
details Of which have just come to
light. is that Of the wife Of Ben Aissa,
the late governor Of Fee, who himself
had died from the fortunes that were
inflicted on him. The object of the
torturing was to discover Ben Aissa's
supposed hidden treasure. the poor
woman's right shoulder vas d1slo-
Gated, possibly broken, and much
swollen, causing intense pain. Her
right arm hung almost useless. and
the hand was apparently permanently
closed. It showed scars and unhealed
