The Treaty Of Kiel
By REV. THOMAS B GREGORY.

TIME treaty Of Kiel, signed 80
years ago by the representa-
tives of Great Britain, Swe-
den and Denmark, performed the
somewhat unusual feat of giving
away nation. In their splendid
generosity, the negotiators of the
treaty made Sweden an out-and-
out present of Norway, the land of
the vikings and the old time
stamping grounds Of Thor and
Bladder.
Norway breaks into history about
the year 500, but her story does not
become fairly clear until the close
Of the ninth century, about which
time she became united kingdom.
For nearly four centuries from
Olaf Second to the Union of Cal
mar-the country remained inde-
pendent, but by the union Norway
became united with Denmark and
Sweden. In 144S Norway and Swe-
den were separated from Denmark,
and two years later the three were
reunited. In 1898 Norway and
Denmark were separated from Swe-
den, and by the treaty of Kiel, in
1914, Norway was given to Swe-
den.

Roses Redivivus
By MINNA IRVING.

THE garden where the roses bloomed
A. A few short months ago
Is gemmed with little pools of ice,
And drifted deep with snow.
The thorny bushes, gorgeous then
With queenly blossoms bright,
Are stiffly folded root and branch
In shrouds of frozen white
But all along the windy west,
Behind the dusky pines,
With pink and crimson radiance
The winter sunset shines.
The hue of every rose of June
The glowing sky discloses,
For lol within its glory lies
The heaven of the roses

The Employer
VS..
The Employee
There Is a Debt Which Can Not
Be Met by the Mere Payment
of Weekly or Monthly Wages.
Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. II. Parkhurst

TN HERE is a debt which employ
ers owe to employees which
can not be met by the mere
payment of weekly or monthly
wages. If / give my time, my tall
ent, my thought and my interest to
my employer, and ought to do
that if 1 am a sincere employee.
then nothing which he can give me
in the shape of dollars, no matter
how many, will perfectly cover his
Indebtedness to me.
This mere dollars and cents rela-
ton between the two classes is
ruinous. 1t makes the employer
meaner and degrades the man that
works for him. 1t makes the one q
slave driver and the other a chatteI.
And it is just as true in the
higher as in the lower lines of serv-
ice. l have not forgotten an in
stance of this kind that occurred in
my own experience although it
happened almost 40 years ago. 1t
came on a Sunday in the country.
I had preached as well as / knew
how, one sermon in the morning
and one in the evening. 1t had not
occurred to me to think of my
self as hireling, although / had
assumed that there would be a GER
tain amount of compensation.
Purely Money Relations.
At the close of the evening serv-
Ice, the treasurer of the church
stepped UP, and, laying two bills.
on the pulpit, remarked. There Is
your money" It was chi1ler, and
made the air inside almost as cold
as the ten degrees below-zero at
mosphere outside.
The fact can not be disposed Of
that a purely money relation be-
tween two people is debasing. AS
soon as the personal idea drops out,
the mechanical idea enters In. It
becomes a kind OF slot machine ar
rangement whereby the employer
drops in a certain amount of serv--
ice and draws out a corresponding
amount of some sort Of commodity.
1t is not fair on either side to
treat the other side as being merely
a form of apparatus; and the two
sides will never get together till
there is blood in it, as well as coin,
humanness as well as machinery.
There are instances where that is
the relation, and 1t elevates both
parties. When it is not the relation
labor is debased and the laborer
goes down with 1t. There is an in
humanity on the part of any en-
ployer who is negligent of the best
interests of those who work for
him. And that inhumanity comes

AIR RIFLE SALES
HALTED BY LAW
Boys Expecting Weapons for
Xmas Are Disappointed.

Boys who have hoped and antici
pated that old Kris Kringle would ia
vor them with the gift of an air ri
fie or spring gun for Christmas,
must be sadly disappointed, for the
law will not permit him to do SO.
He may even be arrested for having
such a weapon in his possession.
Among the laws enacted this year is
one known as chapter 1S6 of the
laws of 1913, now in effect, which
makes 1t a misdemeanor to possess,
sell, barter, exchange, loan, give, buy
or use an air or spring gun.
AS a result the police are about to
take steps to prevent the display of
such weapons in store windows. and
hereafter, any person or persons
caught with one in his or her pos
session will be punished TO the full
est extent of the law the police de-
clare. The law in question Specifi-
cally refers to what is. commonly
known as air rifles, in which small
shot is used The propellins power
is air or a spring, mora commonly
the former. They are declared to be
dangerous, having often caused Sc
rious wounds and blindness in some
cases. AS Christmas gift, they
have long been fayorite among
boys. 1t is for that reason that their
use has become so dangerous rs to
cause legislation to prevent their
use. Boys handle them carelessly, it
Is claimed.
The law governing the subject fol
lows:
"It shall not be lawful for any
person or persons, corporation or
corporations to manufacture, sell,
barter, exchange, hire, loan, give,
buy or have in possession, or use or
shoot any air gun, spring gun or
pistol, or other weapon of similar
nature in which the propelling force
is a spring or air and ejecting bull
let or missile smaller than three
eighths of an inch In diameter, with
sufficient force to injure the person.
ANY person or persons, corpora
ton or corporations violating the
provisions Of this act shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor."

There was the liveliest kind of
political squabbling before the eau
Gus met as the various factions en-
deavored to win the advantage. 1t
was featured by a move to concen-
trate on an anti-Wilson candidate for
speaker In order to overthrow Beck
man. Assemblyman McDermott, of
Hudson, who all last session fought
the Wilson men, led in this move.
according TO ASSEM- Dly man Leonard,
of Union, Mr.. McDermott asked him
to accept the support of the anti
Wilson men after 1t became evident
to McDermott that his candidacy for
speaker was hopeless. Leonard said
that McDermott told him that if the
Union man would accept this support
the anti-Wilson men could put him
across as speaker" Leonard indig-
nantly refused this proposition. 81
