EDITORIAL NOTES.

Talk about the benelt of ad- vertising. Down in Florida not long ago family lost a child which they supposed had .strayed away from the house and got lost. After searching in vain for three days the frantic parents placed an advertisement in the nearest newspaper. Imagine the sur prise of the parents upon going to the door next morning tO see a monster alligator upon the doorstep, where he had disgorgcd the child alive and then had died himself, The lad" cost but 25 cents, and il gave them back their darling child; they sold the alli- gator hide for s5, and the par cnts are showing the child in all dime museums of the land at $50 per week. Does advertising pay?

No one assembled the platform. The meet
ing was without leadership. A man climbed
upon a chair and began to make speech,
but he talked at random. He dared not
say what was in his heart to say and what
he knew was in the hearts of all to say, that
common impulse poured them ip here
together. The men perceived his embar-
rassment and turned away inpatiently to
listen to another voice, but the second
speaker adllaunched into a TRADE against
capital and against employers generally.
The men stamped and jeered him down.
1t was bodiless voice in the heart of the
throng that began to shout, "VoteI Vote!
Vote!'
Nobody had named the question, but
they knew what they wished to vote upon.
Just then McKichnie came through the
door and fought his way desperately toward
the platform. He was pale, except for
touch of color that always lay in veinous
patch upon his high cheek-bones, and his
blue eyes sparkled brilliantly, while his
nostrils played distendedly like the thor
oughbred he was.
McKichnie was unrecognized by more
than those Immediately about him till he
climbed upon the platform. "Vote! Vote"
they were still calling, when the gavel smote
sharply, once, twice.
"What is it you wish to vote upon?
Make your motion and will put the queS-
ton" said McKichnie. His words were as
sharp and incisive as the blows of the gavel,
but they carried to the hearts of men a
sense Of new responsibility-of their respon-
sibility.
It was steadying thought.
Once again the gavel fell, impatiently

1t was John Martin who broke the
strange, sickening silence. Z He had been
leaning quietly against the platform.

wives and sickening children, by the every
day witnessing of that wan hunger for peace
and freedom from want, which they saw in
each others eyes and felt in their cherries
homes.
John Martin, the molder, looked at the
roomful of men and it reminded him of
sea of liquid, sputtering metal, glowing
with an indescribable heat, so molten that
it was thin as water, and dubbed and sim
mered and jetted hot, scalding fountains
here and there over its surface, driven up
ward by the terrible fires beneath. Fused
for moment into common agony of fear
and helplessness, they seethed and eddied
like turbulent metal. And like the metal,
too, John felt their will might be still
nodded into any form He elevated him
self slowly to the platform, and stood there
beside McKichnie with his hand on the
table
The hall was large, but there was some
thing in the bigness of John Martin that
enabled him to overshadow every man in it.
His eye flashed, and it seemed like stroke
of lightning to the last man on the bench.
He brought his huge fist down on the table
with low thump and it seemed as though
the whole building reverberated.

when he had cast his spell over them sufi-

Boston. Mass, May 21.-Joe Wood

athletes TO win the final game of the
series here by score of to 0 in spite
of the fact that Big Ed Walsh came

In the ninth round Moran resorted to

A belated April shower caused the
