Mr.. Fred emmett. the English show
man. who declares that there Is no
cruelty involved in the training OF per-
forming animals. tells an amusing
story Of the lion and the lamb that
Lord George Sanger trained to appear
together.
When the sale Of the old showman's
menagerie took place the two animals
we're put up together and were bought
by Mr.. emmett, though by this time
the lamb" to say the least Of It, was
getting rather elderly. A few days aft
er the sale an acquaintance asked Mr..
emmett how the happy pair were get

the Bible phrase about Lying down to-

Mr.. emmett gloomily.
"Whyy' asked the other. lis he saw

feet from the ground shows that an ele-
plant has rubbed his itching back
against the rough bark OF q tree, and,

the hardened clay. There a long. sharp
scratch repeated at regular intervals.

sion of the Royal Worcester Corset Company gaining the

We desire, further, to express our appreciation Of the
unique service you have rendered the retail corset trade by
the institution Of the principle of new corset styles for each
new fashion, and by the perfection of your ingenious system
of graduated fittings, whereby the crude, made TO measure

We further offer our congratulations on the pronoun ced
success of Royal Worcester Corsets ia Paris and Brussels,
as indicative Of the authenticity of your Company's products.
The elaborate measures you haye taken in your factory
to safeguard the ~wel-being Of your every employe is partic-
ularly gratifying to US, and we feel that we are only echoing
he wish of every Individual in your service when we ex-
press the hope that, not withstanding your eighty four
years, you may be spared at the helm of your wonderful en-
terprise for many years to come.

THE LAeoRER AND HIS HIRE

The labor OF a human being is
not a commodity or an article of
commeree.-S Senator Cummins,
of Iowa.
Spoken in defense Of the exemp-
ton OF labor unions and farmers or
CARNATIONS from sweeping desirdc-
ton at the hands Of the new anti
trust laws. this great tIuth has been
enac'ed into the highest law Of Amer
lea and the last vestige of peonage
in legal theory has been expunged
from the history of these United
States.
Labor was a commodity and an ar
ticle Of commerce, says the New
York World when it was bought and
sold Under cover Of the common law,

bondage; when peonage was estab-
iished in various parts Of the United
States; when the children Of the re-
public were exploited in the mills
and when great employers imported
thousands Of workingmen to take
the place Of higher-priced labor
These infamies have all been stop
ped by law, but il remained for the
present Democratic senate, under the
leadership of Republican, to put
into few simple words the rule
which has guided us 1t is more than
a rule, more that sentiment and
even more than principle. II is an
inYineible truth as deadly to the
