WILSON SAYS NJ
 BOSS OWNS LABOR
Secretary Further Says That Violence !. Worse Injury to Labor's Cause Those Who Would Use Force More
 Harmful Than Strikebreakers.

NEW York, Dec. Limited States Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson said before the new Labor Forum in Washington Irving high school, that the labor movement in this country stands primarily for human liberty, and has so stood since the days be- fore the revolution"
 ''E deny," he said, that any em- ployer has any property right in any mans labor but his own. He may own the factory and the machinery in it, but I absolutely deny that he owns the man that works for him. Labor is not property. That is the great note of freedom struck in the Clayton act, that a human beings labor is not a commodity or an arti- cle of commerce."
 The secretary condemned the grant ing of injunctions by equity courts in labor cases.
 q am not the man to countenance violence" he went on. q can say to you, after 40 years of experience, that the man who engages in riots or oth- CT violence in wage disputes is more injurious to the cause of labor than all the strikebreakers that can be brought on the scene"
 Tn QSI6QS6 or the new O0dul0n $ law Secretary Wilson said it had been proved that the real reason why the Pacific Mail company is selling it's ships and leaving the Pacific is the Panama canal act, which prevents that railroad-owned company from engaging, as it had proposed to do, in American coastwise trade through the canal.
 He denied that the Seamen's law will prevent the building up of ar American merchant marine.
 How is it that the big newspapers are against the Seamen's act? Is that a sign the editors are ignorant or cor rlpt? asked a man in the audience.
 ''No," replied the secretary; 'it 1: no reflection on the intelligence ol honesty of these editors that they have opposed the bill and want it: repeal No one man can have {; brain big enough to contain the. sun of human knowledge. The men whC handle newspapers do so with tn, ability that is in them-and no more It simply happened that they frs got their attention focused on tn Seamen's act, when the Pacific Mai cried that the law was driving tha company from the sea. The edition naturally reasoned that such kicl as that indicated something radicall. wrong in the new law. They did no know all the facts in the case"

A Curious Experience.

Lombroso, the famous Italian crimi nologist, once had curious experi ence. He was in printing office cor recting the proofs in his 'Delinquent Man. with the chief reader when on reaching a page which dealt with a young man who, impelled by jealousy. had stabbed his fiancee he made sur prising discovery. The proofreader was this man.
 Suddenly" Lombroso said in telling the story. "he threw himself at my feet, declaring that he would commit suicide if published this story with his name. His face. before very gen tie. was completely altered and almost terrifying. and was really afraid that he would kill himself or me on the spot. | tore up the proofs and for several editions omitted his story"

The hurricane came in the night and on our left and on our right,
 chimneys were sent through roofs, and high, up-rooted trees went scur- tying by; our chicken stepped out doors to see what all of the strange noises could be, and ere she's made her second track, her feather were blown off her back! And the wind caught our poodle up, and right now a Chihuahua pup has lot more hair than what our little poodle dog has got. The wind picked up our high board fence and we've not seen a splinter since. It took our shade tree bough by bough and it ran down and milked COW, and tore down electric wires and it blew up a set of tires, and blew the whiskers off our face, and left the mortgage on our place. We can be thankful, always, some. We're thankful that our house is plumb.-Houston Post.

A LESSON FOR THE NURSE.
she Didn't Like It When She Was Paid
 In Her Own Coin.

she Didn't Like It When She Was Paid
 In Her Own Coin.
 A mother overheard her nurse girl talking to the child she was putting to sleep, and among other legends of the nursery in which she was indulged was this: "If you don't go to sleep this very minute great. big, awful, black bear with eyes like coals of fire and sharp. white, cruel teeth. will come out from under the bed and e-a-t-y-o-u-a-l-l up! The poor little thing nestled down un- der the clothes to dream of horrid bears eating her up.
 That night when the stolid nurse had composed herself in her own comfort able bed and had put the light out there came sudden rap at the door. and the voice of the mistress called loudly through the panels: Maggie! Maggie! Get up as quick as you can! There's burglar under your bedT' At the word burglar" the girl sprang screaming from the bed. tore open the door and fell into mysteries in the hall.
 The lesson was more instructive than the mistress designed, but when the girls fears had calmed she said to her: You did not hesitate to tell my deli cate child. who could not possibly know that it was lie. cruel story about bear under her bed. Now. when treat you to the same kind of a story. you are nearly frightened to death. Tomorrow you can go into the kitchen and work there. You are not fit to care for little children."

Don't Talk About Your Neighbors.

Don't Talk About Your Neighbors.
 Hush! Not a word! You must not talk about your neighbors, be- cause by doing so you get away from Christian teaching. Not only that, but remember that you are a new conner and cannot tell who you are talking to. The iarson to whom you are talking to may belong to, or in some way be related-that's the worst part of ito the ones you are talking about; and the first thing you know there'll be he'll a-popping.
 Never forget either that this world is full of organizations. There are or ganizatiOns galore. As a matter of fact, there are organized organiza- tions the world over and then some. Such being the case you gossipers had better take an old timers advice old timers never talk about anybody, hardly ever-and while you must not take active part in their delibera- tions, join every club, organization, company, corporation, church and ev- erything else that has a semblance of sticking together. But until you get wised up, hush! not word. We've learned our lasson.-Progressive- Miner

Showing How the Eye Sees More Than
 Ore Thinks 1t Does.
 Writing on psychological subjects in the Ladies' Home Journal. H. Adding ton Bruce says:
 From Dr. A. H. of Pennsylvania. one of our well known psychologists. have received this impressive piece of testimony to the power of the eye to see more than one consciously ap- prehends:
 "Three summers ago, when l was on a visit to my old home town, l took short cut across familiar fields where fair growth of weeds covered the ground. was going along at rapid gait, with my mind wholly oc. cupied with matters other than my path. when suddenly, quite refexly. my left foot. instead of going down on the spot where it should. jerked itself over to the left. and I went on fully ten steps before realized that had made the sharpest kind of an offset in my path. I wondered what made me do it, turned, retraced my steps and found an adder still coiled and ready to strike. exactly. as judged. where my foot would have gone.'
 'fDr. A. H., recognizing the correct explanation of his fortunate misstep. adds:
 During my boyhood summers used to go barefooted much of the time. Through sad experiences with stubble fields, brier patches and stony paths learned automatically to pick my way without giving thought to the matter As a result. find myself frequently in my walks avoiding ob- stacles which at the moment I do not consciously discern.'"
