STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of the Governor and
Council, at 10 A. NJ, Tuesday, Dec. %.

Deputy Commissioner of Labor and
Industry Henry NJ. Donnelly has re-
Gently returned from an inspection
trip, and reports that he has found
number of cases where the law has
been transgressed in the matter of
certificates filed of the working chill
dren in Maine. At the department or
labor and industry there is kept a file
of these certificates, each certificate
giving the age, date of birth, and other
information of one of the children, I'M
der the age of 16, employed in the
factories of the State. In this manner
the department officials are able to
keep track of all the working chill
dren. The law requires such in
formation to be given regarding thess
children.
Miss Margaret Mccarthy of Lewis
ton, the lady inspector of the board,
and Mr.. Donnelly have been making
inspections of mills in Lewiston, Port
land, Westbrook and Biddeford, and
other cities in that part of the State,
and claim to have found numerous
cases where the dates of births on the
certificates have been changed, max
ing it appear that the children in ques-
ton were several years old than in
actually. Schemes such as this,
however, to avoid the law and fool the
State officials are almost sure to fall
II the guilty parties had known that
each certificate Is compared with in
formation at the offices of the clerks
in the towns and cities, they would
have been less anxious to make such
changes on certificates. The deputy
commissioner easily discovered the
changes, although al. far as can be
learned, the guilty parties were let off
easy.
I Commissioner of Labor and Indus
try John f. Connolly is at present
making inspections of mills, especially
wooden mills, in the northern part Of
the State.

In the rural districts OF the United
States tainted money means one thing,
in the financial habitats another. and
in Washington quite another. When
a Wall street man says tainted
money" he means only such money
as he cannot get his claws on. In the
country the much harrangued-aga against
tainted coin is that which the rural
ties banker to get their claws on In
Washington tainted money is that
which the eountry's saviors hope to get
their claws on.
During a former Administration a
Russian nobleman passing through
New York, impressed with our superb
dollar royalty, asked: Who is yon-
der King? How old is his title? What
is his income?'
After being told that King Dollars
had risen in 20 years from bartender
to an income of a million minute, he
grew meditative. Later, while obserV-
ing the hundreds of thousands or
pasty- faced, hollow-eyed, slunk-chest-
ed men and women rushing to their
slavery and crawling back to their
bowels, he asked: Are these King Dol
lars subjects?" Being answered in the
affirmative, he calculated: Take me
to Washington. / must see your ma
tional playhouse before I return to my
own great country; 1 have been told
that your actor statesmen are very

Once upon time in ancient land
there was a community where the cost
of living dovetailed the ability of the
community to pay. There everything
was peace and plenty. There every
one was happy and hopeful. And it
came to pass that self chosen few
of the community crossed a giant vul-
ture with an enormous centipede, and
there was birthed mastodonic COB
blecraw. And as time passed this
gobblecraw grew and grew, until its
shadow darkened the community's
playground, blackened its church
spire, yelIowed its legislative halls and
gangrened its Courts of Justice.
When this mastodonic gobblecraw
arrived at Maturity the community's
cost of living was so -pedestaled
that the daily wage of the people, save
that of the self chosen few, owners of
the mastodonic gobblecraw, sufficed
only for one half days expenses. And
the people waxed sullen, and their
wise men cried: Death to the horse,
the COW, the dog, the cat, kitten and
goat, for they require so much of the
store that the price of
the balance rises and rises until it is
beyond the peoples ability to get one
days sustenance for one days eff
forts" And the community wrangled
the pros and cons of the policy of ex-
porting the horse, killing the cow, vi
the dog. skinning the cat
and the kitten and crucifying the
goat. And it came to pass that when
the pro-and-connings were pitched un-

The total number of cases of excess

these figures may appear abnormal;
but when cognizance is taken of the
fact that PSI, i'll men were employed
in train service alone during the year,

the bursting-with-g good things barn
wherein the mastodonic gobblecraw
abode, whereupon the now frenzied
community appointed a committee to
invent practical mastodonic gobble-
craw wing clippers and claw extract
ors. The committee organized, pro-
claimed and held forth at Community
Hall until Community Hall became
the rendezvous of the community's
sun gliding and moon-burnishing
dreamers. And as the committee were

olution:
Be it resolved That this committee
cease it's fapdoodlng and proceed
forthwith to shoot holes into our enc
my, the mastodonic gobblecraw until
his carcass shall resemble a peekaboo
waist. and,
BE it further resolved, That his
teeth and wings and claws be distrib-
uted among the children of the COM
munity as mementoes of a thing-that-
was-but never can-be-again.'
And today travellers through Anc-

marks the spot where the mastodonic
gobblecraw fell when his carcass was
bullet-riddled to a peekaboo-waist

WHY FLOWERS AT WEDDINGS
Pretty Custom That Has Been Handed
Down Through Centuries Has a
Real Significance.

Flowers, of course, always have
SO, consequently, at the weddings of
practically every nation. They are the
symbol Of gayety, and hence their pro-
fusion at that most joyous of times
q wedding.
But some of the flowers have more
than a general significance. For ex-
ample, there was long custom for
each guest to dip sprig of rosemary
into his cup of wine before drinking
the couples health. The bride Gf she
were not a widow and the bride
groom once adorned themselves with
garlands of wheat This was symbol
Of plentifulness and increase and at
the present time the bridal wreath of
orange blossoms possesses the same
meaning.
In we olden times there were gar
lands, garlands everywhere at we'd
ding ceremony. Even the rejected
suitor sometimes wore a garland of
gray willow.
Besides the flowers, both the bride
and bridegroom wore a true love knot,
an ornament introduced into England
by the Danes in the ninth century and
called the "trulofa," the troth. The
bride of that time was supposed al
ways to wear three ornaments ring
for a pledge, a brooch for innocence,
and a garland as a crown of victory
for temptations resisted

For Eyenfnu Wear,

Evening dress is quite lovely this
year, and the tunic as much to the
fore as ever, though rather shorter
than that of last winter. The bead
embroidery is all the rage, and it is
almost crowded upon the ninon that
composes these tunics. They are OF
the most vivid colors, and the variety
of designs is surprising. There ap-
pears to be no end to the. inventive
ness Of the clever brains employed IN
this interesting if arduous work. The
great difficulty must be to differen-
tiate the patterns from each other
One of the loveliest has two long
stemmed lilies rising from the hem In
front, and border of similar but
smaller lilies finishes the tunic The
color is cerise, with crystal beads,
and a curiously effective touch is the
very narrow, fiat piping, in the very
palest greenish blue, which finishes
the tunic around the shoulders and
borders the sleeves. Lovely effects
are made by laying these beautiful
colors over each other.

USEFUL HOOK-AND-EYE BOX
Simple Contrivance Will Save Time
and Frequently Much Wear and
Tear on the Nerves.

Have you ever hunted in vain for
the special size of hook and eye you
needed? If not you are an abnormally
neat woman, or one given to buttons
or pins.
During that mad hunt through a
badly mixed box of sewing utensils
you doubtless vowed to have a sep
arate hook-and-eye box forthwith.
Then you promptly forgot
The next time Immediately hunt a
number Of card envelopes, and on the
flap of each one sew hook and eye
to show the size and color within.
Put these envelopes neatly in small
box and your miserable fishing days
are over. There should be separate
holders for cards of hooks and eyes,
detached ones that have not been
used and for those that have been
ripped from a dress, as is the habit
of some economical women
Small boxes with the hook sewed or
pasted to the lid may take the place
of an envelope, but take up more room
and are less easily handled
