JOHN e. JACKSON.
THE OLD TRUNDLE BED.
lDnyton lOhinl Nowsl

There are still few of us left who
remember the trundle bed-but for
which it would have been impossible
to bring up the old fashioned family
OF good proportions. Houses were
small and families were large in
those days, and providing beds was n
problem. So it was solved by the
trundle bcd-n low structure that roll
ed beneath the regular" bed" and
which was trundlcd out at night and
iilled with children. There was no
more inspiring picture that trun-
die bed full of little pink children
and all trundlc beds were generally
full of them
But the disorder of the room would
run the modern housewife crazy.
Clothes were dumped in piles upon
the floor. Shoes were tossed into
the corners. Stockings were mixed
up generally and to be found all over
the room. but some way IN hour or
SO after the morning dressing every
was not i'll sight and order came out
of it all while mother" was busy
with other things than "straighten,
ing up the room"
1t was II feather bed of course
US s'iNi tHiSh anu SOIt. OH sank
into its very bosom. No danger of
a kid falling out; no more danger
than there would be of II raisin fall
ing out of n cake For the children
fitted into the feather bed for all the
world like peas in n pod-a ncstlikc
formation holding the tiny form. Be
sides, if you did fall out of n trundlc
bed you didn't have far to fall, only
an inch or two, for be it remembered
the trundle bed was built low 30 It
would roll under the bed.
But it was glorious invention!
A billowy, downy couch fit for the
angels-and angels slept in them.
The temperature didn't matter. In
memory they were always comfort
able. Warm in winter and cool in
summer they must have been
sweet and clean and fresh always.
That's the way we recall them. any
way, so it is the way they must have
been. The night had no terrors after
one was tucked away in a trundle bed
and sleep came quickly to "knit up
the raveled slcev Of care" The morn
ing came instantly, IL seemed, but
you were refreshed and ready for the
rough and tumble work or play that
bcckoned to you.

VIRGINIA PROHIBITION.
Correspondence in the New York
IUnrll


WORLDLY
1t was to be expected that prohi-
ton would prove somewhat disap-
pointing to those who expect laws to
enforce themselves, which they never
do.
On the other hand prohibition has
had its surprises, not the least Of
which has been it's effect in Virginia
upon the National Soldiers Home at
Hampton. Situated on narrow pen
insular between Fort Monroe and
Newoptr News, with floating popu-
lation of soldiers and sailors abound
ing in its vicinity, the home has been
a bonanza to the liquor interests. The
managers having no authority outside
the gates, town sprang up directly
outside which was dominated by the
liquor interests. Saloons were as plen-
, tiful as in the mining camp and as
disorderly, supported altogether by
the members of the home, thousands
of dollars being drawn therefrom
monthly and every pension day being
followed by orgies of dissipation Ev-
who had been arrested the night be-
fore we're brought before the Govern
or's court, averaging about 200 a
month. On the last day of October
his court was crowded.
J The morning of November 1, when
prohibition went into effect, there was
not one drunken man brought before
him, nor has there been one drunken
man arrested on the grounds since.
. For thirty-seven mornings the Gov
ernor's Court has been superfiuous.

MORE IMMIGRATION
DECLARED MENACE
Frisco Paper Says Present. Day
Strike Shows Independence
of Organized Labor.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-The
Bulletin OF this city is consistent
advocate of immigration restriction
and believes that present-day strikes
indicate growing independence on the
part of workers and their refusal to
accept industrial exploitation" which
can be only maintained by increasing
immigration. The Bulletin makes
this observations:
UNLESS we are swamped with i'm
migration the industrial exploitation
and absolutism Of the pre-war period
can never be quite restored. When
the present wounds are scars and the
present anger has burned itself out,
the employing classes-or such men,
bers of them as do not seek more
power than ought to be allowed them
in a democracy-will be the better
for living in country where stand
ards of living and of liberty have been
in some degree raised"

and by various exercises calculated to
inspire reverence for the flag and to
strengthen devotion to the things of
which that emblem is the symbol.
''The patriotic address, the flag

1.-THE test to which the question of
Americanization must finally be sub

tween the conditions Of labor in the

Of Americanization. 49,

ITO thousands and thousands OF
immigrants in our country the labor
unions have been schools, colleges and

Movement For Workers.
1.-THE labor movement is a move-
ment of, by and for the workers. Its
interests and objects are limited SOLE
ly to the promotion Of justice in the
relations between the worker and So
ciety at large.
''The labor movement, by uniting
the workers in a bond Of common in
terest, endows each individual with
strength equal to that of the numbers
combined, thus enabling him to make
his bargain for emloympent upon the
basis Of mutual interest instead of
upon the basis Of individual necessi-
ties. ..'..
''The power thus brought to bear
upon conditions Of labor extends to
every detail Of the days work. Wages.

determined by mutual agreement.
The labor movement exerts q pow
erful influence in the formulation of
public policy, as expressed in the laws
Of the country. It stands as q bull

position. Herded into the mills and
mines, living in slums, shacks and
bunkhouses, his last condition is worse
than his first. He leaves a land of
poverty and comes to land Of wealth.
But he finds himself unable to share
IN that wealth. He comes to a land of
liberty, only to find himself denied ac-
cess to natures gifts. He comes in
spired by hope, and that hope turns to
Dead Sea apples on his lips.
Revolts Against Society.
Because he is disappointed in his
hopes and ambitions the immigrant
turns from the spirit of Americanism
and surrenders to the spirit born of
the actual conditions Of his life. a
spirit of revolt against society.
THE conditions created by the con-
gestion Of immigrants in the indus

American Consul At Vancouve,
Reports to u. S. Bureau of
Labor.

WASHINGTON, June s.-The fed

lished statement by the American
consul general at Vancouver, British
Columbia, who warns Americans that
there is no warrant for the call, en-
anating from Canadian sources, for
$4,000 farm 1aborers in that country,
It is stated that there are more than
1000. unemployed in Vancouver and
that many able bodied men in this
province are dependent upon public
charity for the reason that they are
unable to obtain employment"
The consul continues:
There is no demand. for mechan-
les or laboreRs in this part Of Canada,
and I have to recommend that this
fact be made known through the press
in the United state4k as a means of
warning American citizens against
coming to British Columbia with the
expectation of securing employment
of that kind"
