much stronger than last Friday and

OF defeat last Friday.

PLEA FOR INDUSTRIAL COURTS
Tribunals First Created In France
Have Accomplished Good, Accord
ing to This Writer.

AS long ago as 1906 France created
industrial courts, and the example has
been followed by Germany, Switzer-
land, Italy and Belgium, says George
Creel in the Century. "a president,
who represents the public, and an
equal number of workers and en-
.ployers sit as a jury rather than as a
court. Lawyers are barred; the par
ties to the dispute take turns relating
grievance and defense, and in conse-
quence of this simplicity, 80 per cent
of the cases are adjusted without for
NAL hearings. In event Of threatened
strikes or lockouts, the courts have
the power to sit as boards of arbitra-
ton, and 1t is only in rare cases that
satisfactory agreements are not
reached"
Compare the simplicity Of this pro-
cedure with the American method Of
frequent trials, frequent appeals, re-
'versed decisions, remanded cases.,
court costs, lawyers fees and months
Of delay, gantlet that no poor man
'dares to run. The dollar out of which
an alien is cheated may mean to him
the difference between bed or park
bench and certainly his sense of in
justice will not inspire him with re-
spect for democratic institutions.

LIKE THE RATTLE OF RAIN
How the TriIled "R" and the Short
"A" Have Been Employed by
Masters of the Language.

The trilled and the short after
Il make a sound which is often Won
dertully suggestive Of the thing de-
scribed by the word which they
initiate, or of the mood of the speaker
using such word.
You feel this in words of very di-
verse meanings; in rapture and in
racket; in ransack and in ravage; In
rally and rampageous; even in rattle.
All these words seem to do their
work with certain JUNCTION, and they
are capable of absorbing the JUNCTION
of the speaker in a remarkable degree

hungry, hear how he rasps on the tlrst

Nae ferly tho ye do despise
The hairrm-scarum, ram-stam boys,
The rattlin squad:

Good bumor, dislike, anger, scorn
pass over these words in the act OF
utterance like rain or hail over a

Venerate Hooded Cobra.

The hooded cobra, or Maya, still has
his derotees in Bombay city, and from
Kashmir to Nepal in the Himalayan
region throughout the Deccan and
southern India, and on the west coast
In particular, this curious veneration
of snake gods survives, says the Times
of India. An interesting account OF
the worship is given in the latest an.
nual report of the archaeological de-
partment. The usual form Of Naga
worship is the VOW taken by childless
wives to install snake stone If they
are blessed with offspring. Closely
allied with this idea is the worship
of trees, and pipal and margosa trees
planted together-"married," as the
saying goes-come in for a share OF
the devotion paid to the snake stones
set up in their shade. It is believed,
says this account, that women will
bear children If they walk round the
married trees one hundred and eight
times every day for forty-fve days
consecutively. Unfortunately no au-
thentic case is cited Of the efficacy OF
this prescription, but the offerings
brought in gratitude by women to the
lhrines may be taken as favorable evi.
deuce.

seIf.Llahtina smudse Pot.

BY the invention Of simple thermo-
static controlling device, a Los An
geles man has developed al ingenious
apparatus for rendering the smudge
pots used by orchardists self-operat-
ing, says Popular Mechanics. The ap'
pliance, which may be fitted to any
standard type Of pot, Is regulated by a
small copper rod. When the atmos-
pheric temperature drops to prede-
termined point the contraction of the
rod is sufficiently great to release a
cup containing an acid. The liquid is
poured into small chamber provided
In the smudge pot. This holds a
chemical substance which burns upon
the addition of the acid, producing a
fame that ignites the crude oil used
in the pot. The thermostat may be
adjusted 50 as to release the acid
when the temperature falls to any spe'
cific degree. With this apparatus in
use, On orchard may be protected from
frost without personal attention beins

HISTORIC TREES PASS AWAY
Historians and Antiquarians Can Only
Regret, While Entirely Unable to
Prevent Their Loss.

It is too bad that nature will not al
low trees, or some trees, at any rate
to live forever. In many places ID
this country, in the East particularly,
the guides or the local historians once
began their holding tales with Under
that tree" The famous colonial and
revolutionary day trees are gone or
are going. Some of the present day
events which are likely to have patri-
otic or other sentimental interest for
posterity might be staged purposely
under thrifty trees of long-lived spe-
cies.
The charter oak is gone, the old elm
of Boston Common Is gone and the elm
at Cambridge under whose shade
Washington took command of the con-
tinental army is gone. The trees which
Alexander Hamilton planted, one for
each OF the thirteen original states,
have either died Of old age or have
succumbed to the encroachment of a
civilization which takes little heed or
sentiment or of natural beauty. And
the treaty tree at the base of which
the whites signed compact (Which
unquestionably they broke) with the
WeQuadequeek Indians is dead. 1t was
under this tree at Sleepy Hollow that
Washington Irving wrote of lchabod
Crane and the Headless Horsema1.
The old cottonwood at Eighteenth
street and the lake in Chicago died
many years ago. A part of it is pre-
served in the building of the Chicago
Historical society, but a bit of dead
timber is as nothing to the living tree.
The sequoias of California come pretty
close to living forever. They certainly
live long enough to satisfy for ages
mankind's sentiment concerning deeds
done in their shadow. 1t is pity that
the ancient eastern and middle west
ern elms. cottonwoods and oaks were
not all seQuoias. Trees ought to be
spared for their own sakes, but when
they mark the scenes of stirring ma
tional events they ought to be tended
with double care and solicitude.

sMALL-T0WR BOY NOT GONE
He Plays the Same Old Franks and
Has the Same Old Youthful
Exuberance.

Not long ago writer in western
exchange bewailed the passing of the
true boy, the boy of natural impulses
with streak of old Adam, and fine
contempt for the minor ordinances,
the Cleveland Plain Dealer remarks.
He was the boy who plotted and exc
cnted mischief Of the boyish type, who
made himself nuisance, perhaps, to
the community in which he ran wild,
yet never mixed meanness with mis-
chief. In short, he was the old-fash-
ioned boy, the embodiment of life and
spirit and impishness. In his place, as
the writer points out, we have the
hulking street corner boy, who travels
in gangs and becomes the bane Of the
police guardians.
No doubt the author Of this disser-
tation had IN mind the boy of the rural
community, not the city boy, but the
small-town boy. That type Of boy isn't
found in the cities. They are too
hampering for his soaring soul. He
needs room, he requires a tolerant
community, he wants a congenial at
mosphere. 1t may be imagined that
the author of the lamenting screed,
having looked out through his urban
window and noted no boy Of the old
fashioned type, believes be end his JOY
Gus type have passed.
The small-town boy still exists, how.
ever. Every little while his boyish
pranks provide material for the coun-
try correspondent. He plays the same
old tricks; he exhibits the same old
brand of boyish exuberance. The 9TH
er day he slipped into Delaware
church where revival service was in
progress, and left a half frozen hor-
nets nest beside the stove. When the
hornets thawed out they organized an
exploring expedition and the congrega-
tion promptly endeavored to leave the
edifice in a body.
There is no use Of worrying over the
decline Of the small-town boy. He
hasn't declined.
