FRoCKS OF ONE MATERIAL

The very triumphant cape. which is

OF the dress In one of its fresh mani

that adorns the corsage. recalling the

GET EVEN WITH EMPLOYER
City Laborers Who Handle shoveIs
Have Many Tricks They Are Not
Slow to Employ.

The employers who hire day la
borers in Chicago seldom supply
them with shovels nowadays. They
give them picks. as they used TO. but
they expect the men to provide their
own shovels. The reason for this is
that as soon as the men arp given
shovcls some Of them file on the cor.
ners OF tho shovels. They claim
and there Is reason for their claim
that the shovel being more pointed
enters the earth easier so that the
digging Is made less laborious. and
this only Is their reason-they would
MT think OF cutting down tho shovel
70 that we II they threw out the
same number OF shovelfuls a day they
would be accomplishing less.
But at times they have n different
reason for making their shovels
smaller. II they think they are not
being paid enough they will make a
still further cut in the size Of their
shovels. This makes the work Just
~ hard for them. the gang boss
probably makes them throw out Just
a. many shoveifuls each day-al-
though OF course each load will be
slightly lighter-but at the end OF
the day they will not have covered as
many yards as they would have with
the larger shovels. This Is their way
OF getting ven with their employer:
they will work as hard as ever, but
they don't want him to get as good
results

SIX VICTIMS OF cANNlBALs

Early in May eight missionaries
crossed over to Malakula. and
preached In a native village. afterward
returning to headquarters. A few
days later DIR. Sandiland. who Is in
charge OF the mission station. received
a request from the Malakula natives
that the missionaries should be SEN

we're dispatched to the village. and.
after preaching. stated their intention
OF going on to the NEXT. This propo

that IT would be dangerous to 60 far

however. and went to their doom. Al

they were set upon BY a huge
crowd Of armed savages. who hemmed
them In on every side. uttering hide
