Sratford, Oct. 24-It has been dis
covered that the famous painting
/ September Morn which has caused
so much comment is nothing less than
an adaptation of the beautiful marble
statue which has gTaced the lawn
of the Selleck homestead on Main
street for twenty years. This statue
| is the cause of as much comment in
! this vicinity as the painting which it
is believed to have suggested. The
bowed head of the "huTnan form di-
vine was crowned with frost yester-
| day morning and the ladies in diapha-
nus gowns who passed slaivered to
note the evident discomfort expressed
in the attitude of the marble figure.

you alive and doesn't decrease the

And he gets the credit of being

The woman who talked to me told /
me something that want to dwell
on for moment.
The employers have said there is
no excuse for delinquency and they
have given you permission to starve.
But we both know. you and l, that |
the charity hospitals Illustrate that
plan, and the employer knows it, too.
Then if starvation is impossible and
delinquency never warranted, there
is one more solution short of being
paid living wage. You might steal.
But l will tell you how they deal
with that. Some years ago man
attempted to introduce in Chicago, a
mush and scrapple, both Philadel-

upon her.
The man told her that if any of the
scrapple or mush looked mussy or
broken she should not offer it for
sale, but should put it in box to be
thrown out at the end of the day.
At the end of the day the woman
gathered up this scrap stuff intending
to take it home for her mother and
children. But the store detective was
too clever. He arrested her as thief
and he took great pride in his as
tuteness in discovering her.
So you see, you can't steal, either
even if it is only refuse. The woman
who talked to me told me of
mother who is. working at Roth
child & Co.'S to support herself and
her baby. She is paid Sc week, S.
of which she spends for the existence
of her child and herself. The other
dollar covers carfare and lunches
but she hasn't cent left for clothes.
On Saturday she was so despond-
ent she said she felt almost desper-
ate. enough to steal.
= And the woman VINO talked TO me

replied to that mother:
%"SteaI! Steal all you can get away
with and then take your baby to
court and say, Yes, did steaI-be-
cause they wouldn't pay me enough
to live on.
And when was leaving the wo-
man who talked to me, she asked
that-I close my article with this verse \
from the Bible:
