Catching Child Labor Young
Hope Of Heading Off Child Labor
in the West Expressed at Con-
ference in San Francisco

The children won't suffer any more
after this, will theyf' said a small actor
after the child labor pageant given at
the eleventh annual conference on child
labor in San Francisco on May Is While
this pageant, written by Mrs. George
Hough Perry and staged on the exposi-
tion grounds, may not have justified in
the minds of adults the optimism OF the
child, it did strike the note OF hopeful
ness that prevailed throughout the meet
ings and it demonstrated the commun
ity's interest in the conference. An ap
peal to the West to prohibit child labor
before it has foothold there was the
main theme of the address. DIR. Felix
Adler of New York, chairman Of the Ma
tional Child Labor committee. touched
the heart of the matter when he pointed
out that child labor has always been a
by-product OF the change from an agri-
cultural to an industrial community. By
the law of recurrence it has appeared in
every part of the world going through
that change. 1t appeared in England
and our eastern states during such n
time of change. 1t appeared in England
and our eastern states during such n
time of change; it is now at its height in
the South during a similar change; and
it will appear in the West unless it is
forestalled, DIR. Adler said. The West,
realizing the national significance OF
wasted childhood and the community's
responsibility toward each individual
child, can prevent the recurrence Of
child labor there if it will.-The Survey,

CANTON, o. ON THE MAP RIGHT

The Canton city council, by unani-
nous vote, has ordered that hereafter
only members of organized labor can be
employed on work done by or for the
city OF Canton.
In urging the adoption OF this reso-
LUTON unionists insisted that: "Con-
tractors figure on the basis Of the pre-
vailing union wage, and inasmuch as the
laboring men carry the burden of main
tanning those wages, they are entitled to
any money the city may spend on public
works, and that through their labor un-
ions they maintain the rate contractors
accept, even though the contractors re.
fuse to recognize the. union"

OVERLAND PARK.

Racing at Overland closes for the sea-
son next Monday with the Independenc>
handicap, with purse of 81 200 to the
winner. On Saturday the Denver City
handicap for purse of 81 900 will be
the feature. Seven races are to be
given in addition to the big event
Never in the history of the amuse-
ment in Denver has racing been so popu-
lar as the meeting which is now drawing
to a close. The Colorado Agricultural
Fair and Racing association promised at
the outset to eliminate the obiectionablc
gambling features, to see to it that touts
and other disreputable character were
barred and that no Intoxicating liquors
were allowed upon the grounds The
making good on this promise is respon-
sible for the great success of the meet
lng, according to the views OF those who
have studied the question.
The racing has been clean throughout
and the better class of people have gone
to Overland daily in great crowds In
fact, no amusement enterprise has at
tracted more or better people than this
meeting. 1t is estimated that more than
10000 people We're there last Saturday
and that an even greater number will
be there this Saturday and on Monday.

Bavarian Distances.

In the Bavarian highlands signposts along the roads. instead of stating the number of miles or kilometers to the various villages. give the amount of time which the average pedestrian will supposedly take to traverse the dis tance. This is merely an official ex- pression of the very general custom of the peasants in the region, who invari- ably tell inquirers on the roads not how far it is to q place, but how long it takes to get there.
 For instance one asks. How far is it to Oberammergau?"
 "A small half hour," will be the an swer, or perhaps "A good half hour" or "A big half hour"
 Which is puzzling until the stranger learns that a small half hour" means twenty-five minutes, "a good half hour" thirty minutes and "a big half hour' thirty-tive minutes.

RIGOROUS SCHOOLING.
He Carried to His Death the Lesson He
 Learned at Eton.

Learned at Eton.
 Dr. Keate. the terrible head master of Eton, encountered one winter morn ing small boy crying miserably and asked him what was the matter. The child replied that he was cold. "Cold!' roared Keate. You must put up with cold. sir. You are not at girls school.'
 It is a horrid anecdote, and I am kind heatred enough to wish that Dr. Keate. who was not without his genial moods, had taken the lad to some gen erous fire presuming such thing was to be found and had warmed his fro zen hands and feet But it so chanced that in that little snivelling boy there lurked spark of pride and a spark of fun. and both ignited at the rough touch of the master.
 He probably stopped crying, and he certainly remembered the sharp ap- peal to manhood. for fifteen years later, with the Third dragons, he charged at the strongly intrenched Sikhs t30,000 of the best fighting men of the Khalsa) on the curving banks of the Sutlej. And as the word was given he turned to his superior officer. a fellow Eton- ian. who was scanning the stout walls and the belching guns. ''As old Keate would say. this is no girls school" he chuckled. and rode to his death on the battlefield of Sobraon, which gave La hore to England.-Agnes Repplier in Atlantic.

CORRECTED BY A SENTRY.
The Incident Which Led to CoIeridge
 Retjrinq From the Army.

Retiring From the Army.
 In his young days the poet Coleridge had little love affair which ended in disaster, for the lady refused him. In despair he enlisted in cavalry regi- ment, which he hoped would be or dered on foreign service, that he might end his blighted career on the tented field. For family reasons he dropped his correct name, but from a feeling of sentiment retained the initials. so Sam uel Taylor Coleridge became Private Silas Tompkins Camberhatch.
 The regiment did not leave the coun- try, and it was not long before his soul wearied of barrack life and its utter absence of romance His military life ended in curious fashion. One day while Coleridge was doing a weary sentry go two officers strolled past. One of them made use of Greek quo- tation, which the other corrected. The first insisted on his correctness, while the other was just as positive he was wrong.
 While they disputed. the sentry sud denly presented arms and respectfully informed them that they were both in error. He gave the exact quotation. name of the author and other circum- stances. If his musket had spoken the hearers could not have been more as tonished. The incident led to an in quiry, and the poet was restored to the bosom of his family.-Argonaut.

 A characteristic story of Dr. Parker was told me the other day, writes "A Man of Kent in the British Weekly. by a minister who had it from an old minister who was much interested in Joseph Purker's early work as local Eeacher. One Saturday he met Park CT and asked him whether he had an engagement for Sunday. "Yes," was the reply.
 Are your sermons ready. Joseph" asked the minister.
 Il have the morning sermon" was the reply, but I am not sure about the evening""
 Well. Joseph, what is your text for the morning and how do you treat it?'
 Parker went over his text and tho outline of his sermon.
 But, Joseph" said the minister, that is very clever, but it is not the real meaning of the text. If you will look at the commentaries you will see that you are wrong"
 Parker thanked him and went his way. On the Monday the minister again met his friend.
 Well, Joseph. how did you get on yesterday?'
 "Very we'll" was the reply.
 How did you manager"
 "Well," he said, ''in the morning preached my sermon and explained the text in my way. and at the close l said: This is how 1 understand it. But learned men understand it differ ently. and will tell you in the even- ing how the learned men understand it."
 They all came back in the evening, and Joseph had happy day.

Mount Vernon.

Mount Vernon passed into the hands of the Mount Vernon association just prior to the war between the states. It was purchased from the Washington heirs for $2O0.000. Of the purchase money about half was raised by Edward Everett through his lec lures and the balance by the ladies of the association. Each state represent ed in the association has special room in the mansion. The place is kept in faultless repair and vandalism is made we'll nigh impossible by the careful watching. During the war Mount Vernon was, by mutual consent. neutral ground, and the wearers of the blue and the wearers of the gray often met before the tomb of the great who was loved equally by north and south.
