In view \of the trouble among the railroad men and among traction men in New York, the biggest city in the country, and in other places, the Labor day demonstrations this year assumed additional importance and interest. Pa- rades were held in many cities. Labor leaders deplore the tendency to devote the day, the last holiday of the sum- mer season, entirely to outdoor sports and are endeavoring to educate the public to a recognition of the real and original meaning of the day. Labor day is now a legal holiday in all the forty-eight states of the Union and in all tbe territories. The holiday is now about thirty years old. Pictures show scenes in Labor day parade in which men. women and children participated. Spectators frequently comment on the fact that Labor day paraders show many traces of recent foreign origin

The Untidy Horse Chestnut.

Those who have experienced the difh- culty of keeping lawn clean where horse chestnut trees are growing will appreciate the following composition by ten-year-old boy, which appeared in the New York Tribune:
 "The horse chestnut tree is great shade tree. But it is rather nuisance because of the blossoms dropping all over the grass, next the little green chestnuts fall all over the ground. next the big horse chestnuts fall with the burrs, next the great large leaves fall and dry up. and it takes time to rake them all up. and they won't burn like other leaves. So if l were plant ing trees would plant maple tree"

 Interest In Ancient Days.
 As rule, the ancients frowned upon the idea of interest. They called 1t usury, and, except in the case of ward sh1ps and trusts. when the law insist ed upon money being usefully invested, they looked upon the man who lived by investments as bad character and his trade as a disreputable one. Even Aristotle, a most advaticed think CT in many respects, talked most ener- geticallyt against money. calling it a .'barren thing, which could produce nothing without violating nature." It was not until the crusades that the money lender had any standing or re- ispectability in Europe.-London Tele- graph.

der how certain people can live in the

The woman has stolen her clothes from
dressmakers and milliners. The man
has robbed the tailor Of his. and they've

And to one with old-fashioned ideals Of
