Unsocial Socialist.

At Arden, the single-tax colony near Philadelphia, they tell a story about Upton Sinclair.
 MT. Sinclair was having good deal of trouble, both domestic and political, at Arden, and at the height of this trouble he took the train one day for Philadelphia.
 A group of jovial drummers sat near him in the smoking car. One of them, nodding in his direction, said to a friend:
 ''Who is that silent grim, frown- ing chap over there? He looks as though he loathed all mankind. Who is he? 1 never saw anybody so un- social.'
 Him? Oh, he's a Socialist" was the reply

pisarmIna Powers of Evil.

A very interesting custom has just been carried out by the Arab popula- ton of TripoH.. Several huge cranes for salvage work recently arrived there from Genoa, but before any og the 500 Arab workmen could be in- duced to start operations. t"e &osiem priests were summoned. Then began tho celebration of an elaborate riJo during which large number of young lambs were immolated on the altar The new salvage plant was smeared from top to bottom by the priests with the blood of the victims, and the cere- mony concluded with a sacred dance around the cranes. After this the Arabs set themselves joyfully to work in the assurance that the powers Of evil had been effectively paralyzed.

WHAT GOTHAM GETS IN TIPS
culated, Amounts to Over $1oo,oo0,0oo Yearly.

There are on an average 10000 visitors the day in New York Often there are many more, seldom any on pleasure bent, or are passing through on pleasure bent in other places Even those who go to Man. haitian on business decide in favor of the combination cocktail" meaning a mixture ot business and fun Every visitor gives tips, whether he stays at hotel or not. If he visits friends he tips their servants. The tips given by the average person of means amounts to much more than $2 the day Few tip less than 50 cents the day It is a low estimate to put dollar as the average amount given away Svery day in tips by every wis itor to the great city. That means S30O,O00 the day in tips alone, not in cluding tips given by New Workers themselves. That is about $9.000, 900 the month or S109, 300 ,000 for the full year of 365 days.

HIS COMMUNES ALL FAILED
Career of Jacques Etienne Normand, Who Started Saint Simonist
 Colonies in Texas.

Seventy years ago a French settle ment was mace at Reunion, Tex, by a group of disciples Of the social re form proposed by Saint Simon. The moving spirit of the colony was Jacques Etienne Normand. Adopting the theories of the Saint Simonists- Normand associated himself witE Barthelemy Enfantn and later with Jean Reybaud. Disagreements arose and Normand assumed independent leadership of a faction; in the revo lution of 1S4S he sought permission to organize a community of his follow CTS in Picardy. When Louis Napoleon become prince-president he promptly expelled Normand from France. In 1851 Normand found his way to Texas and joined forces with Victor Consid erant, also expelled from France. Nor mand was abundantly supplied with funds and bought 2,000 acres near San Antonio, on which he established the commune of La Reunion. The morals of the community were not above re proach, even in border community, and Considerant urged that commun- ism should extend. to the community of women, who were said to be no bet ter than they should be, hence Texas expelled them all. In 1857 Normand endeavored to establish q commune near Fl Paso and in 1861 he renewed the attempt at La Reunion. For the last attempt he was sent to prison for five years. He died in San Antonio in 1867.

A NEW INDUSTRY FOR LIBERTY.

LIBERTY, Oct. Z. 1912. A new industry is to
be established at this village D. Whiting &
Sons of Boston are about to establish a cream
cry here. They have leased of Will Knowlton
the building known as the spring bed factory
and land enough to build an ice house and
other out building and will proceed to remodel
the building for their purposes, build an ice
house and other buildings at once, and will be-
gin business in the spring. This firm con-
sists of Mr.. Whiting and five sons and has
been in the milk business for many years.
The grandfather of this firm was the first
to ship milk by railroad into Boston. That
was about seventy-fve years ago. They are
now operating eleven plants in Maine and
New Hampshire and are distributing to these
patrons upwards of 100000 annually, and the
plants owned by them are worth more than a
million of dollars, SO there is doubt of their
reliability. The citizens of the' village, the
corn canning company and the farmers in this
vicinity all seem much pleased at their COM
ing. They think that it will prove a mutual
benefit to all. Mr.. c. E. Henry of Pittsield,
the General Superintendent of all the Whiting
plants, has been here, looked the land over and
taken lease Of the property in the name
of the company, and will personally look after
the remodeling of the building and the erec-
tion of out buildings to suit the convenience of
the company. He is an affable, agreeable gen.
tleman. and all who had the pleasure of meet
ing him while here were favorably impressed
with him, as they were with Mr.. Marden, who
has charge of the Belfast plant and who ac-
companied Mr.. Henry while here.
The corn canning company will close their
cutting here Tuesday Oct 9Th. 1t has been an
exceedingly poor season for them and for the
farmers; but the loss will not be so great for
the latter as for the former, as they had to keep
their skilled help from abroad on full pay
while in no instance did they run over a half
day, while the farmers have an increased
amount of fodder to feed to their stock, and
most of them will not be deferred from plant.

this as an extremely off year. 10. J.
