A noted mathematician, consid- cred by many wonder, stopped at a hotel in a small town in Mis- souri. As usual in such places, thereewere a number of travelling men on hand: there was also a meeting of medical men at the place, who used the hotel as headquarters. One of the doctors thought it would be a joke to tell the mathematician that some of the M. D.'s had decided to kid nap him and take out his brains to learn how it was he was so good in mathematics. He was then asked by them what he was go- ing to do about it. He replied "Why, shall simply go on with out brains, just as you doctors are doing."

ROTHRING THE BOSS.

The "pcriodic strike is some thing now ,in the labor world. The men do not strike; they sim ply do not come to work on one day of the week. The next day they turn up as usual, and the output is reductd one-siXth for that week. The employer has no remedy but a lockout. A lock- out is hardly remedy for de- crease of production, and has not been used heretofore against men who are willing to work--when- ever they feel like it.
 It is interesting to observe the progress of labor in alienating public sympathy and turning it toward the employers of labor. At present public sympathy is often with labor, but when it ap- pears that labor really has a strangle hold on production it al- so appears that the sympathetic public is the under dog. Manu- lecturers can shut their factories but how then will the public be served? Amplitude of production is the true remedy for the high cost of living, but where is the union which approves ample production The egregious Hay wood in ore of his recent speech es said:
 "We don't propose to speed up the looms, and we don't propose to do as much in eight hours as we formerly did in ten. We pro- pose to take two hours from the ten ten hours of each of 1000 men, so that 5000 can go back to work. If eight hours won't give all the idle men and women work then we will cut the hours down tO seven. OF even six. We will take from the bosses what we can get today. and we will hold what We get. Then we will take mOre.'
 Sooner OF later the malice of such uttrranceS will make itself apparent to those who buy the goods by the shortened hours, and enhanced in cost by delibcr- ately reduced efficiency. The same considerations apply to public utilities as tO factories. For eX- ample, one railway employe in England caused a strike for the right to get drunk. A general strike was avoided in another case because the railway Submit- ted to the demand that it should reinstatp the man disciplined be- cause he was fined for being late to work. What safety can there De when the discipline is of the railways by the unions, and not of the employees by the companies responsible for the safety of their trains Labor leaders who spend their time thinking up something new to put over, on the boss are not true friends of the unions, and they are the declared ene- mics of the public.--N York Times.
