TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE GARY
Youthful Lawyer Made Technical Err
ror In Billiard Contest With
Legal Veteran.

Judge Martin, as young lawyer and
on first arrival in Chicago, thought
himself fortunate In gaining an intro
duction to Judge Gary-the Gary who
tried the anarchists. The judge took
a shine to the young chap and pro-
posed game Of billiards, wherein
Martin made a technical error that
he remembered for long. Gary played
an old mans game, and Martin then,
as now, was particularly handy with
a cue.
Picture a contest Of "a points with
four balls on a four and one-half by
nine table. The judge (barely bend
ing), with childish bridge and a
nerveless stroke, missed his first shot.
Martin, in shirtsleeves, crouched over
the table like jockey plotting win
ner, and applied himself to rolling up
run. He had counted fifteen or
twenty when he turned and saw the
Judge disappearing through the door
and moving with rufied dignity.

Rags-a room full Of them, ware
house given to shreds, patches, frag-
ments, to strips of rotted wooden
lengths, thin and faded cotton tat
tiers. Rags once white, now spotted
and soiled. Discarded silks from my
lady's dressing room, homespun
weaves that bore the mark of rain and
CRIME, and wear and tear.
And amid the biggest heap of the
fragments to be sorted plodded and
sang as pure and bright spirit as
cloister or palace might contain. They
called her Floribel Where she came
from, who her father and mother,
no one seemed to know except old
Jacobs, the owner of the rag shop.
Once his wife had given it out that
they had reared her from child, had
taken her from an orphan asylum.
They were coarse, common people at
the rag shop, but even in that atmos-
phere of dregs F1oribel grew like a
beautiful lily.
She would sing when alone like a
lark, but never when Madame Jacobs
was about. Floribel was in deep
dread of the lynx1ike, tigerish-eyed
old woman Not that the madam ever
mistreated her, except to keep her at
work twelve hours day, but because
she shrank from the inharmonious
nature of the woman. Madame
gripped at the heaps of rags in way
that seemed to tell that so forcefully
would she tear at human hearts, If
she could find gold among them!
Once Floribel had found diamond
ring in an old glove. When she gave
1t to the madam, the selfish, avari-
cious glee of her task mistress fairly
appalled, her. She gloated over it,
she kissed it, she fastened to convert
it into money.
After that, the probing eager eyes
of the old woman terrified Floribel.
Ever on the lookout for treasure, for
money or trinkets, the rag woman re-
sembled some famished ferret on the
scent of blood.
Then one day "The Hero" came into
the lonely life of the beautiful iso-
lated girl. A young man entered the
place and asked for it's proprietor.
Old Jacobs was absent on rag buy
ing trip. The madame was also alb
sent, but would return soon. In awe
of the rich tasteful attire of the un-
familiar caller, fascinated with his
handsome face, the courtesy of the
true gentleman that he bestowed

Couldn't Part.

Louis Halle was a colonel on Gov
ernor Yates staff, and in that capacity
accompanied him to Washington to be
a part of an inaugural parade. All the
colonels had uniforms a-plenty, but it
was decided to rely upon the Wash
ington supply of horses instead OF TAX
ing the mounts along.
The governor sat on his horse await
ing the parade formation, and from
time to time an orderly would gallop
sfp with an off ceiitaell On
each occasion Colonel Halle was by
his side. At last the governor OBJ
served:
Colonel Halle, / see no necessity
for your sticking to this orderly in
the performance of his duties"
There isn't any," admitted Halle,
"but, you see, our horses are a life

Then Madam Jacobs came in. The
young man stated his business. He
was Arlo Willis, his sister was Mrs.
Ivan Neal. The latter had removed
from a former home. A great part OF
its old furniture, the varied contents
of a lumber room, had been sold.
Among some papers, old papers that
had been thrown out from the old
furniture, was a certain document the
caller wished to recover.
The secondhand dealer who had
brought the stuff had informed him
that all the old carpets. rags and pa

Unions Reduce Hours; Economic
Power Best.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-The shorter
workday plan that gets results is
the best, writes President Perkins
OF the Cigar Makers International
union. This unionist discusses
eight-hours by law and eight hours
through trade unions in the Cigar
Makers Official Journal, snd shows
that, as far as his organization is
concerned, trqde union methods
have proved most effective.
The question in so far as mem
bers of the international union
(Cigarmakers) are cor cerned,
stripped Of its academic and theory
lore. j" he SAYS, worked out as
follows: Through our own efforts
in the trade union movement we
shortened the hours of labor to
eight per day May l, 1886, and
with great satisfaction in so far as
longevity and health are concerned.
An effort to have done this through
legislation in al probability would
have found us still working ten or
twelve hours day and still fight
ing for the eight hour work day.
Since the adoption of the eight
hour work day ia 1886 the average
length of life for members of the
international union has increased
about thirteen years, and the per
cent of those who die from tuber-
culosis has been reduced from 81
per cent to 20 per cent, while the
vitality, strength, and earning
capacity of the members has been
greatly augmented
"Fine-spun theories, like castles
in the air, are pleasant for some
people to dream and think about,
but actual, concrete results which
make for better life, social and
economic, are the things which
count. In the matter of the short
ening of the hours of labor we have
accomplished this without being
bound, gagged, and delivered to
the state"
