How many jobs can one lone man

still the superintendent, because nc
successor to the position has been ap

member of the loan fund commissions.
There are four of them. one for each

his position as Superintendent Of Pub

So, when he isn't going anything
else and time hands heavily on his

of his time no one knows. Some folk
say he squanders six to eight hours

NOT benefited BY TARIFF
ers an Object Lesson to the
Country.

Between twenty thousand and twen-
ty-fire thousand textile mill workers
went on strike In the Lawrence
(Mass) district These operatives
struck to retain their old wage scale,
which their employers had cut In or
der to meet the expenses OF few ex-
ira hours off duty called for by new
industrial law. The cut in wages was
very small, yet from the accompany
ing figures 1t may be seen that, small
as the amount was, 1t was needed and
needed badly to run the workers
households.
Most of the mills in the Lawrence
district are a part OF the American
Woolen Company, the wool tarif's
greatest beneficiary In arguing for a
protective tariff one of the strong
points the woolen company made was
that of highly paid labor. The tariff
board, which recently completed an
examination OF the tariff industry,
learned, among other things, the wage
scale in the woolen mills. This re-
port--on Schedule K, wools and WOOL
ens-was approved by William M.
Wood, president of the American
Woolen Company. Being approved,
the data concerning mill wages may
be regarded as correct.
The tariff board statistics show that
textile mill workers are not highly
paid. On the contrary. their wages
average. much lower than those OF
workers In many other trades. The
scale runs from a minimum Of "a to
q maximum OF $21. Carpenters, brick
layers, cement workers. all receive
much higher wages. In Indianapolis
perhaps a score OF trades could be
cited to show that wages In other
lines Of work which take no more
training or skill than woolen mill
work, are much more lucrative.
Doffers in mills get from SIS to $3.50
a week; spoilers, from IS to 80; ham
ders-in, from 81 to IS; burlers, from
SO to 50, and drawing frame tenders
from SO to $3.50. Doffers, spoilers and
other low-waged workers are generally
boys or girls. The other wages run
as follows: Wool sorter, $40 to 1885,
securing machine tender. 81 to $l1;
card feeder, SO to IS; card stripper,
$3.50 to 50; card tender. So to S.;
comb tender, $3.50 to $40; gill box

Water bugs and worms are among
the tidbits In which the Mexican peon
delights. He catches his bugs as they
skim along the top OF fresh water
ponds, drying them and then eating
them with as much zest as an Ameri-
enn boy eats peanuts. As near as the
peon can explain It, their flavor is
something on the order Of the chest
aut, but as no white man has ever
tried eating water bugs, or II he has
doesn't dare confess 1t, the exact taste
Of these Mexican mOrsels can't be de-
scribed very accurately.
The poems dote, too, on the nice,
tat pulque worm. This insect is about
two inches long and half an inch thick.
They fry the dainty in grease and
pack 1t in brown paper packages Of
dozen worms, which fetch 2 cents
a paper. An industrious pulque worm
collector makes a good living.
The worm lnhabits the maguey orl
pnlque plant, from which is distilled
the aqua mlel, or honey water, OF
Mexico. After twenty-four hours fer
mentation 1t is very intoxicating. Aft
er the Mexican has primed himself
with several drinks OF nGua miel and
has smoked half dozen cigarettes
made Of the dried leaf Of the merri-
huana weed and brown paper be Is
ready for any crime of violence.
This combination Of stlmulant and
narcotic has the effect Of deludlng the
victim into thinking that his enemy--
and every peon has choice collection
OF enemies-is pygmy In stature. At
the same time 1t gives him an idea
that he Is tremendously strong and
wonderfully brave. SO he sallles forth
to make mincemeat Of his enemy or
enemies and, rs a rule, lands in the
local calaboose.
One Of the peculiar effects Of mer-
rihuana smoking Is to distort the size
of all animals, making them of enor-
nous size and horrible shape The
smoker Is filled with n horrible fear,
something like the horrors brought on
by de.irium tremens. A kitten or a
puppy to his distorted vision appears
as some terrible creature. A common
sight In Mexico is TO see swarthy
"greaser,'" armed to the teeth, fee in
terror from a small dog. while he
would fearlessly attack any man with
his knife or his machete

TO YOUR POSTS, GENTLEMEN
Democrats Must Unite and Work
Hard to Restore Good Govern
ment TO Country.

1t is a mistake for Democrats to act
upon the theory that they have a cinch
on the presidency. Every day Mr..
Taft Is growing stronger in the esti-
nation of both his party and the coun-
try. He is proflting directly from ex-
perience which has contributed wis
dom and from clamor which affords
contrast. Mr. Roosevelt is commonly
regarded as the smartest politician Of
his age, and perhaps he is--the smart
est. But Is he the greatest, or even
great, at his own pastime? Consider
the politics he Is playing now. Is 1t
big politics2 Is 1t even clever2 He
makes two issues with the president
--one with respect to the peace trea-
ties, the other on the trust problem.
Mr., Taft personiiies a worldwide hope
of progressive civilization; Mr.. Roose-
velt stands for perpetuatlon Of bar
barrie methods. Mr.. Taft insists upon
impartial enforcement Of law; Mr..
Roosevelt would have the law fit the
case, invariably to his own political
advantage. Can any one really be-
lieve that the sober sense Of the
American people will not ultimately
uphold the president upon these prop
ositions, the only two marked by Mr.
Roosevelt for sharp differentiation?
The thought Is incredible.
!. Is II not possible that Mr., Roose-
velt's political acumen has been over
estimated by both himself and others?
He has been notably successful,
truly, but only when in power Given
all the weapons Of authority and utter
lack of scrup!e In using them, he has
proven himself invincible. Witness
his forcing of money out Of corpora
tions, his terrifying Of individuals, his
robbery of Panama. But as fighter
from outside the breastworks he has
won little renown.-Harper's Weekly.

A FAMOUS RACE.
The Greatest Steamboat Contest on the
Mississippi River.

Mississippi River.
The greatest race ever run on the
Mississippi was between the Natchez,
boat built In Cincinnati and COM
manded by Captain I. p. Leathers,
and New Albany boat, the Robert u.
Lee, under Captain John W. Cannon.
There was spirited rivalry between the
two vessels, and when the Natchez
made the fastest time ON record be-
tween New Orleans aud st. Louis
Q,27S miles In days q hours SO min
utes) Captain Cannon resolved to beat
1t. He engaged the steamer Frank
Pargoud and several fuel boats and
arranged for them to meet him at va
rious points up the river with wood
and coal. Then he had his boat cleared
Of all her upper works likely to catch
the wind or make the vessel heavier.
On Thursday, June 20, 1870 at 4;45
pm, the Robert Il. Lee steamed out
of New Orleans. The Natchez follow
ed Ave minutes later. The race had
been advertised In advance and was
now awaited with gathering interest
at all the river towns. Large crowds
were assembled at Natchcz, Vlcksburg,
Helena and other large places.
Between Cairo and st. Louis the
Natchez afterwnrd claimed to have lost
seven hours and enc minute on account
Of fog and broken machinery. The
Robert E. Lee, however, was not de-
layed and arrived in st. Louis thirty
three minutes ahead Of the previous
record established by her competitor.
Fifty thousand people from the house
tops, the levee and the docks of other
steamers welcomed the winner as she
steamed into port Captain Cannon
was the lion of the hour. The business
men gave banquet In his honor. :
