While big interests are fighting the
proposed eight-hour legislation for
women it is interesting to review
some of the unfair methods they
have used in the past two years
against mattresses in Chicago strug-
Cling to gain one days rest in seven.
At the close of the Henrici strike,
when Judges McGoorty, Windes and
Baldwin declared peaceful picketing
lawful provided it wasn't conducted
on Randolph street, restaurant men
organized and schemed to defeat any
further attempt at organization, and
in this they had the backing of the
State street merchants, who realize
that picketing before their depart
ment stores would seriously damage
their business and who therefore
want to crush organization of
women.
A year ago the restaurant combine
used George Knab as tool to attack
organized labor. Mattresses who
picketed Knab restaurants did so I'M
der the Injunction issued by the three
learned judges, which has since been
repudiated by Judge Baldwin.
The restaurant combine stood a
share of Knab's expenses in this fight
and the Employers association fur
nished Dudley Taylor as Knab's le-
gal adviser.
Over 400 cases of mattresses were
dragged into the municipal courts
without single conviction. Knab
sought to enlarge the injunction and

The mattresses went before Judge
Windes and had the most objection

ed into court for alleged contempt
and dismissed by Judge Windes.
Then the combine put girls on the
Street to cause a crowd to gather and
the arrest of union pickets began and
continued for some time and the law
was used to carry on the farce of try

offense against the law.
On Nov. the Knab injunction was
enlarged by Judge Baldwin and
stopped picketing. Shortly after

The affidavit was untrue because

WOMAN.
By William Herbert

(Born 1778-Died 1847-English)
Fairest and lovliest of created things,
By our great author in the image
form'd
Of his celestial glory, and design'd
To be mans solace. Undefiled by sin
How much dost thou exceed all
earthly shapes
OF beautiful, to charm the wistful
eye,
Bland to the touch, or precious in the
use!
His treasure of delight, while the
fresh prime
Adorns his forehead with the joy of
youth,
His comfort in the winter of his soul!
Chaste woman! thou art cen a
brighter gem
To him, who wears thee, than e'er
shone display'd
Upon the monarch's diadem; a charm
More sweet to lull all sorrow, than
the tint
Of springs young verdure in the
dewey morn,
Or music's mellow tones, which float
ing come
Over the water like fairy dream!
Thou hangest like wreath upon his
neck,
More fra grant than the rose, in thy
pure garb
Of blushing gentleness. Thou art a
joy
More sprightly than the lark in vernal
suns
Pouring his throat to heaven, or
forest call
By blythesome Dryads blown; faith
full stay
In all the worlds mischances; help
For man in sickness, and decay, and
death.
Thou art more precious than an only
child
In weary age begotten, clear spring
Amid the desert, and unhopedfor
land
To battle mariners, or dawn of day
To who has press'd all night fevered
couch.
Oh, wherefore, best desired and most
beloved
OF all heavens works, oh, wherefore
vert thou made
To be our curse as well as blessing!
lured
From thy first shape of innocence to
become
A thing abased by guilt, and more
deform'd
AS thine original glory was more
bright!

BILLY SUNDAY US
ALLIGATOR STORY.

The Rev. Billy Sunday in Leslie's.
"Not my will, but"-there's where
you cash in. There's where you &c
into the ditch. There's where you
turn off the light. There's where you
hang up the receiver. There's where
you ring off. There's where you pune
ture your tire. There's where you
strike out. 1t costs too much to say
Chime be DONE"
"Say, papa, may go with your
asked little boy of his father.
eyes, son, come on" said the father
as he threw the ak over his shoulder
and accompanied by friend went to
the woods and felled tree. The little
fellow said:
"Say, papa, can l go and play in
the water in the lagoon?" eyes, but
be careful and don't get into the deep
water; keep close to the bank"
The little fellow was playing,
digging wells, picking up stones and
shells and talking to himself, when
pretty soon the father heard him
cry: Hurry, papa, hurry!"
The father grabbed the axe, ran to
the lagoon and saw the boy, look
of horror on his face, as he cried:
"Hurry, papa, hurry; the alligator
has got mel"
The hideous amphibious monster
had been alternating, and had come
out, lean, lank, hungry, voracious, and
seized the boy. The father leaped
into the lagoon and was just about to
sink the axe through the head of the
monster, when he turned and swished
the water with his huge tail, and the
little fellow cried out:
Hurry, papa, hurry!"
The blood-fecked foam told the
story.
When l read that, for days l could
not eat, for nights l could not sleep.
l said, "Oh, God, what if that had
been my boy?"
There are influences in this world
worse than an alligator, and they are
ripping and tearing to shreds our
virtue, our morality. Young men are
held by intemperance; others by vice.
Drunkards are crying to the church,
"Hurry faster!" And the church
members sit on the bank playing
cards, sit there drinking beer and
reading novels.
They are splitting hairs over fool
playing cards, sit there drinking beer
and out of hell!

WISE HINTS FOR
USE IN THE HOME

When steaming potatoes put a
cloth over them before putting the lid
on. They will take much less time to
cook, and be much more mealy than
when done in the ordinary way.
Before using a new saucepan add a
lump of soda and some potato peel
ings and let it boil for some hours.
Then wash out thoroughly, and all
danger from poisoning from the
timed lining will be gone.
After inserting tape in petticoats
or blouses always tack the tape in
the center Of the back or front, ac-
cording to the way in which the gar
ment opens, to prevent the ends of
the tape from slipping back into the
sacing out of reach.
When lemons are hard cover them
with boiling water and stand them
aside to cool. They will then appear
fresh and full of juice. Neither will
the juice seem in the least diluted by
any water absorbed.
German scientists have discovered
that disease germs quickly die when
they come in contact with the ordin-
airy floor covering known as linoleum.
This is thought to be due to the dis
infectant properties of linseed oil
which is found in linoleum.
When a Japanned tray becomes old
and Clipped give it two coats of white
paint and one of enamel, the bottom
as we'll as the top. Stand it on edge
to dry after each coat. 1t will be
found as good as new, as well as very
pretty. The enamel is easily renewed.
A colored ribbon tied to scissors
will save many minutes that are
otherwise spent in looking for them,
especially if they are used by chill
dren, who forget where they have left
them. A piece of ribbon is always
sure to show where scissors are half
hidden under papers or sewing.
To make gum starch pound to
ounces of gum arabic to fine powder,
and pour one and one-half pints boil
ing water over it. Cover, and leave
till cold Gall night, if conveniently.
Then strain through muslin into a
clean bottle, and keep it well corked.
A tablespoonful is sufficient for a pint
of starch made in the usual way.
When materials are too delicate to
take starch use sugar in the rinsing
water. Sheer fabrics, such as chif-
fons, and all other delicate materials,
will gain their original crispness if
three tablespoonful of sugar are
added to the rinsing water. This also
is the proper treatment for all wells.
For pretty cake for tea you will
require ten ounces flour, one-half Id.
each butter and sugar, one-quarter ID.
dried cherries, one OF. angelica, five
eggs, one-half teaspoonful baking
powder. Chop the angelica, and cut
the cherries in half. Cream the but
ter and sugar together, add the beaten
yolks of the eggs, and mix all to-
gether well, adding the whisked
whites of the eggs last. Bake in a
shallow tin lined with butter paper.

FOREIGN

Missionaries were the first to
give any information about the far
interior of Africa. They have given
the world more accurate geograph-
ical knowledge of that land than all
other classes combined.
The Princess Patricia's Light In
fantry from Canada is now at the
front. They met with a splendid re-
ception. The men are billeted in a
village and ate their Christmas din
ner within hearing of the guns.
Austria is faced with a probable
shortage of grain and flour before
the next harvest. The maximum
prices for grain are now, it is stated,
the higest in the world. Distress and
famine is reported in the country dis
tricts.
An earthquake which rocked the
center of Italy on January 81, ac-
cording to the latest estimates, killed
$4,000 persons, injured 10000, and
did tremendous damage to property.
Vim Rome numerous palaces and
churches, all of important historic in
terest, were damaged. From score
of cities and towns belated reports
are arriving of great damage and
loss of life. Relief is pouring into
Avezzano, and the Italian Government
appropriated 100000 to aid the
sufferers generally.

MATRIMONY

The man must lead happy life
Who is directed by his wife;
Who's free from matrimonial chains
Is sure to suffer for his pains.
Adam could find no solid peace
Until he saw a woman's face
When Eve was given for a mate
Adam was in a happy state.
In all the female hearts appears
Truth, darling of heart sincere;
Hypocrisy, deceit and pride,
Meier known in woman to reside.
What tongue is able to unfold
The worth the woman we behold;
The falsehoods that in woman dwell
Are almost imperceptible.
Cursed be the foolish man, l say,
Who will not yield to woman's sway;
Who changes from his singleness
Is sure to perfect blessedness.

and forth lines of each verse.

Hoboken Prize Fighter
Got Left At Election
Former PugiIist Charles
Seiger, Announced For
Commissioner in Fine
Statement, But Vas
Turned DOUn.

One of the most interesting Incl
dents of the Hoboken election for the
newly enacted commission govern
ment for that city, was the announce
ment of Charlie Sieger, formerly an
exponent of the prize ring. Of course,
he did not have very strong chance
for getting elected, but he knows a
thing or two about politics, if one
may judge from the way he handled
the situation in his announcement.
On a placard which bore his likeness
in the center, there were other pic
lures of the ex-pugilist, first boot
black as a boy, which bore the legend,
an Poverty Shining Shoes" There
was another picture of Sieger sitting
in the corner of a roped arena, and
another showing him in his present
position, stevedore, or longshore-
man. He is rolling a pair of trucks,
on which are placed barrel and a
box in orthodox fashion. This pic
ture has around it the following:
After retiring from a very active
ring career, l secured myself, SOME
job as longshoreman along the piers,
not as a barroom bouncer, in which
capacity would have had things
much easier"
The poster also bore this: 81 have
arisen from the ranks--and / know
what the working class of the public
need in the line of public Fairgrounds,
lecture rooms, gymnasium and school
rooms. l will bend every effort to Sc
cure maximum benefit in the above
line of public institutions--Furth
more, | will act as instructor and
supervisor in all forms of true Ameri-
can athletics" A very fine and noble
sentiment, and no doubt Mr.. Sieger
would have made an efficient officer.
But the piece de resistance of the
poster was this sentiment placed be-
low the picture of the corner of the
ringside:
Entering the prize ring l fought
more fights than any man living and
have never been knocked out. mas
much as no fighter has put me away,
no clique of politicians in Hoboken
will put me out for the count--And
throughout the world l have always
fought as the 'Hoboken Boy My
record proves that have never faxed
or double-crossed the public in the
ring--and if the public will elect me
as commissioner, l will pledge my
past honors that l will surely will not
fake or double-cross when | really
have chance to make good. When
ever the public has seen fit to elect
pugilist to it's public offices they have
proven themselves trustworthy and
handwriting servants to the interests
of everybody. Eddie Santry, a for
mer boxer, is now making good as a
member of the Illinois Legislature.
Matty McCue is in the New York
Legislature, and Young Mitchell is
Commissioner in San Francisco"
1t would take mighty hard think
ing on anybody's part to surpass the
really fine sentiment of this young
mans appeal. If he now sees the err
ror of his way, and has the ability to
perform as he says he could, it might
have been good idea to try him out.
He doubtless could give some politi-
clans cards and spades in decent be-
havior, whatever his past career may
have been.
