pies were indicated in Mr.. Asq0lthS speech
to the miners onThursday night.Ihe colllerles'
he said. unique in industrial organization, are
the likelihood of the country, and continuance
of their operation is the very root OF prosPe-
riiy even of existence. The Government IS de-
termined that a minimum wage should be
come recognized throughout the entire co"i
industry by whatever means tne UoN-
eminent can command, control and JUS
tics demand this, and the resistance OF
q minority of the owners must not be al

miners to allow a reasonable latitude re-
gardIng particular rates.

the Minimum Wage Law will contain require

quate output for a minimum wage. The
Lobbies are divided over such an innovation,
equally difficult to apply to the coal indus
try or to avoid applying to all Industries ana

The world would have made poor
progress If every individual effort had
depended on mutual organization. There
would be no kindness, no cheerfulness,
no patience, no charity. There would
be none of the tender graces of life IL

belief that she could not cultivate one
or all Of these attributes, without first
joining a society.

All the morning Captain Greville Sar-

part Of the house party in an otter hunt.
Now, with the hounds that they had
taken for their rather tame hunt in full
cry, they were pursuing a large Shooter
the hounds had started. Through the
open the little creature fed. followed by
the yeping pack-not that, of course
with which Lady Diana had run, and
the party Of men and women on foot with
their savage otter spears
The animal had found its courses along
the little stream no longer in their ac-

seemed to feel that there would be safety

The New Order of Things
By Beatrice Fatt7ax

y NEW YORK woman has formed
n among working girls the "Spug,"
a society for the prevention of
useless giving at Christmas. Undoubt-
eddy the society will accomplish some
good in curbing those who are spend
thrifts when under the influence Of the
Christmas spirit
But the fact that such a society has
been organized, ana that it was needed,
should make young girls and older
women stop and think for themselves.
Has il come to the time when no
woman can exert her own natural God =
given common sense without first join
ing club organized for the purpose of
sanctioning such action?
Are these the days when q woman
can not of her own will power take up
some good study and pursue it; master
the art of cooking become a little
more economical; or smile when she is
depressed, without first joining a club
that mothers such a movement?
Win the day finally come when none
Of us will be brave because we are not
members of a fear not club?
is the day here when a woman will
not hang picture on the wall till she
has first Joined a make home beautiful
club and been told that pretty pictures
are given for just that purpose?
Every one should be a "Spug," if
necessary. but how much there is to be
admired in the girl or common grown
up who conducts her little or great
finances in such common sense way
that membership in such an order has
never been necessary for herr
Christmases come and Christmases
go, and every Christmas there is abuse
of the one who spends fooishly and
recklessly. And every Christmas there
is more contempt for the Old Scrooges
of life. These two extremes attract such
a monopoly of attention that there is
little heed given the great, big army Of
Christmas shoppers who buy in a spirit
Of sanity.
They remember the needs OF their
friends, and they remember, also, the
limits OF their purses. They put
thought in their gifts, and love, and
give not for effect or display.
They make no gifts hoping for re-
turns. and this hottest of all seasons is
not degraded by them with any faint of
barter and trade.
They remember the children FIRST of
all. And since the first Christmas, so
many centuries ago, there has been
remembering OF the homeless waits on
this day that has steadily grown.
