FIX HIS NAME AND FACE.
Recipe Of a Politician For Remember.
ing His Acquaintance.

ing tbs ACQudIntdUCSS'
In the American Magazine writer
says:
"My acquaintance was large, and |
was not only embarrassed. but annoyed
and hurt. by my failure to remember
much more prominent men.
Zone day in a hotel lobby a member
Of congress from my state, who had
been in congress for ten years, spoke
70 me heartily, and as shook hands
with him ! committed the unpardOn-
able error Of asking him who he was.
He happened to be man Of good
sound common sense, as we'll as q good
politician. and here is what he said to
me, after he led me away to seclud-
ed corner:
Remembering new acquaintance
is habit quite easily formed. There
are $4,000 voters in my district, and
I can speak to four-ffths Of them
by their first names. Ordinarily, when
you are introduced to man or when
you see him at distance, you hear his
name. but your mind is on something
else. When his name is pronounced
to me 1 have firm grip on his hand and
am looking at the color Of his eyes
with my whole power Of mind focused
on that one combination Of name and
face. If the thing is done faithfully
there is not one chance in a hundred
that anything can blot out the memory
in ten years."

Preaching Monkeys.

The author of The History Of Bra
zip tells Of q species of monkey called
preachers" Every morning and eve
ming these monkeys assemble in the
woods. One takes higher position
than the rest and makes a signal with
his forepaw. At this signal the others
sit around him and listen. When they
are all seated he begins to utter Sc
rics Of sounds. When he stops these
cries he makes another signal with his
paw, and the others cry out until he
makes third signal, upon which they
become silent again. This author, Mr.
Maregrove, asserts that he was wit
ness to these preachings.

GILDED LINES.
A Feature Of Native Festivals and

Instead Of exchanging cards the well

their esteem on New Years day by
presenting to their friends lines COW
cred with brass leaf, or in some cases
with gold leaf. AS the natives have
several New Years days Of their own
in addition to the special ones Of the
English, the Mohammedans and the
Tamil and Telugu branches Of the
Hindus, the gilded lines are passed
around rather frequently. The custom
is a purely local one, and it had Its
origin so far back that no one re-
members when or why it was started.
In addition to the New Years festi
walls gilded lines are sometimes pre-
scented to the host at the ordinary
"tamash" or social gathering. If a ma

not to mention gold covered ones. he
gives plain, undecorated ones.
1t is said that great quantity of
brass leaf is used for decorating lines
for. these special occasions, and the
bazaar trade in this kind Of gilt is very
large throughout the southern part of
India. Brass leaf is sold also for the
decoration of gilded caps, or 'topi,"
worn by the Mohammedans in that
part Of India. as well as for ornament
ing the dress Of the Mohammedan wo-

Iron BRIDGES.

>. .Iutroduction of the semiellipticul
arch III bridge building in England met
with complaint on behalf of the Tweed
side people, because the roadway over
it being almost level, as one old man
said, you did not know when you
were on it and when you were off it. y
The first iron arch constructed was
made in England at Coalbrookdale by
one Darby The bridge consists Of one
semicircular arch, 100 foot span, each of
thcE cribs being cast in two pieces only.
1t was opened for traffic in 1779, and
a new era in the art Of bridge building
was thus entered upon. Up to 1860
cast iron was predominant in bridge
construction, and although it is be-
lieved that wrought iron was introduce
ed before 1900 it does not appear to
have been extensively used before 1860

A Nickname For Barrett.

Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian, was
subject to dyspepsia, and when he was
suffering from that disorder he was
cold and distant toward his company.
One irreverent fellow always refused,

day: Just look at Cassius. He looks

swallowed the sword Of justice. Let's

In the Eastern territory, for instance

sum OF S2.61 for regular freight train
service, out of which he must maintain
his family at home and take care of him

one-hundred-miIe trip is what represents
one days work. and means that at its
expiration the man must lay away from
home until he is deadheaded back or re-
turned with a train. The conductors in
all classes OF road service receive ap-
proXimately one-third more pay than
the brakeman. The difference between
the wages of the two is easily estimated

CEMENT STRIKE STILL ON.

Mitchell, lnd.--The Lehigh Portland
Cement Company has evidently aban-
doned its policy OF intimidating work
men who have been striking for the
right to organize. Low wages and long
hours at this plant forced the workers
to unite. This was followed by the most
active members being discharged, fol-
lowed by riots instigated by gunner, i'm
ported by the company. The Tribune,
published in this city, indicated the con-
ditions against which cement workers
struck when it boastfully declared IN
Mitchell we have the cheapest labor this
side of China" The editor gave this as
reason why other industries should
locate here.
The Lehigh Portland Company has
discovered its bludgeon policy has not
produced results, and has announced
that hereafter the eight-hour day and
minimum rate of $1.7O will be the rule.
This company is still opposed to or.
ganized labor, and unionists say the
latest move is an attempt to create the
impression among cement users that the
company is fair to organized labor.

WHY CHILD LABOR BILL
is OPPOSED IN SOUTH

Grcenville S. C.-According to the
Home Circle, published in this city, here
are the reasons why Southern cotton
mill owners oppose the Keating Owen
Child Labor bill, which is intended to
exclude from interstate commerce child
labor products:
"First-When children are excluded
from the mills, they have to go to school,
be educated and enlightened.
"Second-lgnorance is what pleases
the cotton mill authorities.
"Third-Education means light, knowl-
edge, power, emancipation and freedom.
Fourth - The cotton manufacturers
have been made vastly rich by working
children at half wages, doing grown
folks work.
"Fifth-When this bill is passed, they
well know they will have to pay the
grown folks enough to support the chill
dren, anyhow. II they don't. the farms
are inviting them.
SiXtf-As long as they can keep the
workers in ignorance, they can cheat and
rob them and control them more.
"Seventll-When the textile workers
are better educated, they can get better
therefore demand better
wages-a decent living
The above are some facts and reasons
why this bill is opposed by the money
powers.
Didn't the mill owners circulate and
beg their employees to sign petitions, ask
ing for this bill not to be passed, because
it would seriously interfere with the fac
tory business ?"

Eight hundred dollars means that the
brakeman who receives that amount
must work one hundred miles or less for
every calendar day III the year. The
railroad men are piece-workers they
do not get paid by the year, but by the
days worked. Whatever wages brake
men receive above $500 are earned be-
cause they have worked overtime. 1t is
no trouble to estimate these wages, for
they are based on one hundred miles or
less. ten hours or less for the days
work. Wages are a trife higher in the
Southern and Western territory.

Preparedness was the principal topic
discussed at the annual Washington's
Birthday dinner of the Peoples Power
League which was held at a restaurant
on Government Square.
More than 600 persons sat down to a

selt-serve dinner of this size ever given
in Cincinnati. William Marion Reedy,

er, was the guest of honor and acted as
toastmaster
Mr.. Reedy introduced Walter Millard,
Socialist leader, as the first speaker.
There is too much oratory in this coun-
try, Mr. Millard declared. He said that
speakers should get out and talk to
those opposed to their theories instead
of mingling with their friends and mod
ding heads He urged that all make a

VALUE OF COMPENSATION LAW

Beaver Falls Pa-The value OF com

city in the case of a workman who had
the tip of his finger cut off. As injuries
of this character are common, the en-
ploye signed an insurance company re-
lease for 81. Later the wound became
serious and the employe could not work.
State compensation officials ruled that
the release was illegal, and ordered that
the cmploye be given medical treatment
and half pay until he is able to return
