Origin of "Punchinello'

James Melvin Lee, in Cartoons Magazine
 In the days when Harper's Weekly was at the height of it's popularity and influ- ence, it commanded the services of the foremost illustrators in America-inciud- ing the cartoonists. Every once in a while group of these artists would be- come dissatisfied with the Harper parental control and would leave to establish an independent illustrated paper Having squandered their substance in riotous printing these artists would come to them selves and return to the Harper home where was bread enough and to spare No fatted calf was killed on the return of such prodicals but Henry Mills Al. den, the veteran editor of Harper's Monthly Magazine, asserts that the house of Harper never held a grudge agains, any contributor, whether artist or writer, who left to try other pastures Such was the origin and such was the end of Punch ipello a comic cartoon weekly. which first appeared in New York city on April ?, 1870.
 In calling attention to the fact that the first number was dated the day after All Fools Day, Punchinello remarked: "ThiI is cheering; since thus 1t is manifest that Punchinello leaves all the fools ant testers behind. and is, therefore, first 1T the race for the crown of comic laure and the quver of satiric shafts" During its short life-less than a year-it Wa! entitled to that honor.

Co-Operation Better Than Strikes

Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslie's.
 Secretary of Labor Wilson, himself formerly president of labor union
 never spoke more wisely than when he said: T have passed through scores of strikes and I have found that the man who advocates disorder or violence is more to be feared by the laboring man than by any host of strike breakers" :" Often the man who advocates strike. even though it is accompanied by no violence, is as little the friend of the laboring man. On last Labor Day the people of the city of Troy. N Y, and vicinity were compelled to suffer the in- convenience of a strike without notice at 5 o'clock in the morning, by the em- ployes of the United Traction company. The three arbitrators of the dispute, in their report, said the calling or rne strike was unwise and unnecessary. If the trivial differences could not have been settled by conferences between the par ties directly interested" said the com mittee, they should have been settled by arbitration before calling a srrlKe.'' The differences between labor ana capital are not always trivial, but they could always be settled better by arbitration without strike than by arbitration following a strike. The agreement entered into, at the suggestion of John D. Rockefeller
 Jr., between the Colorauo ruei anu lroH company and its employees concerning wages, hours of labor. working and living conditions, Is proving to be satisfactory to both sides, because it is friendly agreement designed for the best interests of both parties. The same spirit per vades the Butte mining region, formerly the scene of one of labor's bloodiest wars. About year ago the Anaconda and other large mining companies took the ground that while their employees might belong to any union or none at all. they would employ men without re- gard to their labor union affiliations. The price of copper having advanced. the Butte wage scale is now $4 per eight hour day. as against $3.50 that was being paid under the old regime.

As pointed out in a previous article on Dark Cornish, the ancestors of the Corn ish fowls were Aseels Malays and Eng fish game fowls. The former were im- ported from India in their purity, and the fanciers of Cornwall set about cross ing them with other domestic fowls to produce something distinctive, either in a utility way or for it's beauty. The re- suits of their crossing with the English Game produced what are now known as Dark Cornish, which were very popular in the county of Cornwall for a decade or so before their fame spread over other sections and caused them to be bred in other parts of England. They soon spread to the United States, and as is always the case, fanciers commenced to breed the fowls in other colors. Within two or three years of their importation, Whites and Blues were developed, and within the last 10 years we have the Buff Laced.
 At one time they were all known as

Charles M. Schwab, head of the Bethle- hem Steel company, believes that if an assistant or an employe can by his own efforts add to the prosperity of a concern he should share in that prosperity. Prof it sharing" said he, will settle the labor problem eventually. It will be the sur- vival of the fittest; the producer will be rewarded, while the nonproducer will re- main where he is"

Indian Games, Cornish Indians and White Indians. Of late, however breeders are endeavoring to emphasize and increase their utility value and forget as far as possible their game origin, and a con- certed effort is being made to have the fowls known as Cornish fowls.
 Considerable White Aseel and White Malay blood entered into the composition of the White Cornish, and in America White Georgia game blood was used, also White Wyandottes. Both these crosses almost wiped out the true Cornish charac- teristics
 The White Cornish is recovering from the effects of this injudicious work Fan ciers have been striving for 10 years to recover the massive frames. widespread short thick legs and heavy skulls of the true Cornish, and for the past two or three seasons magnificent specimens have been exhibited.
 When full grown these fowls weigh from eight to nine pounds for males and six to seven pounds for females They make excellent table poultry

MAKING THE AMERICAN THOR
 OIIGHRR ED u

By James Douglas Anderson, Madison, Davidson county, Tennessee The Plimpton Press, publishers, Norwood, Mass.
 In presenting to the public his book, entitled Making the American Thorough bred" James Douglas Anderson has done a great service, since the book is of inn mense value to those interested in the subject and at the same time, a readable clever book, calculated to enlist the sym pathy and interest of those who are in different along these lines.
 The author has handled the question forcibly and with tremendous power, showing his familiarity with his subject and his great gift of expression appeals to the reader and holds his attention from start to finish.
 There are many cleverly drawn delnea- tions of characters well known through out the south-especially In Alabama-men who made the history of this great com monwealth, and whose descendants are now conspicuous and prominent in the present day development of this section of the country.
 In 1887, MT. Anderson was connected with "The Age'' in Birmingham, and he was also with "The Herald,'' ana one of his notable newspaper contributions was Sunday page story of Tallapoosa, which elicited many favorable compli- ments.
 His experience in the newspaper world fits him admirably for other forms of writing and his Making the American Thoroughbred" adds new laurels to his crown of already successful endeavor In preliminary chapter to Making the American Thoroughbred" which is entitled, This Book and Balie Peyton, D MT. Anderson says among other things:
 "The original purpose of this volume was to show the extent to which the rais- ing and racing of thoroughbreds was car ried on in Tennessee during the first half century, or more, of the states existence.

by the example of his life and impressed with his high ideals and consecrated de- votion to duty.
 "Dr. Massey has rendered one more dis tinguished service to his people by giv- ing them this book It's value Is mani fold.
 Tt cannot fail to be helpful and inspir- ing to any young persons who, struggling against obstacles, however great and many, seek to secure an education which will fit them for honorable and useful life. The author has himself faced these difficulties and triumphed over them. The judicious character sketches of wcll-known men and women who have figured in Alabama and helped to make l the history of the last 70 years, add much to the interest and value of this work and will be useful to the future historian of the state.
 "All former students of the University of Alabama, the Alabama Conference Fe- male college (now the Womans' College of Alabama), and of other schools In which the doctor has taught will be pe- culiarly interested in these "reminiscences and profited and pleased as they read them"
 One of the charms of the volume con- sists in the glimpses given the reader i here and there, into the heart of the writer revealing all unconsciously the mo- tlVeS ana the Ideals which nave molded his character, shaped his life and made him what he is.
 The writer of this preface deems it not out of place to say that with char acteristic generosity the author donates to the Woman's College of Alabama any royalties that may accrue from the sale of the book.
 The name of John Massey spells char acter, influence and sterling worth to the people of the south and his "Remin- iscences" will undoubtedly be productive Of good, and far-reaching in effect.

THEIR TRUE FAITH AND
 ALLEGIANCE"


 By Gustavus Ohlinger The Macmillan
 company, publishers, New York.
 Perhaps the best recommendation that Gustavus Ohlingers book, Their True Faith and Allegiance" has to its credit is the praise that Owen Mister has ac- corded it when he recommends it so high ly by saying:
 For the sake of the facts that it gath CTS this book should be read not once but two or three times by all Americans who believe in union, in Lincoln and in liberty. A single reading is not enough; most of us forget what we have read but once. What is here presented is worth keeping in mind and dwelling upon not merely today but during many tomorrows. It bears upon the future of our national health.'
 WITH KITCHENER TO KHARTUM.' .'' GA new edition with biography of Lord
 Kitchener).
 By G. w. Stevens Dodd, Mead & Co.,,
 publishers, New York.
 Of all the books that have been writ ten on the subject of the late lamented Lord Kitchener none has surpassed and very few equaled G. w. Stevens mar velous account of With Kitchener to Khartum."
 Even though Kitchener has gone-his lTdHlC QedIn recently SnOChl1lS luG cullTe universe-he is still "the man of the hour in Great Britain, one of the most force full and most potent personalities in the world today, one whose quietly calcu- lated, far-reaching plans are likely to have results that will affect Europe for generations. A revival of the description of the best single bit of work that Kitch- ener ever did is well worth while just at this time In this book G. w. Stee- hri1 En cE spondent, tells the story of Kitchener S famous march to Khartum It was a march which succeeded not because it was boldly conceived and daringly car ried out, but because it was so carefully planned, down the very last detail, that 1t could not fail. This characteristic is the secret of Kitcheners success. When he strikes he knows what is going to happen.

What Sympathy Means.

Did you ever ask yourself what is
the greatest tragedy of life? Did
you ever ask yourself what is the one
lasting and indestructible JOY of life
What sorrow is without reparation Z
What joy is untainted by bitterness ?
Let me tell you. The greatest, the ir-
reparable sorrow of life is isolation
the only cup of joy that has no Gregs
is love and sympathy. This is true.
You may walk triumphantly through
poverty, deprivation, suffering and
helplessness, If only you march with
the love and the sympathy and the
goodwill as lonely personal burden,
and you will be utterly defeated. The
weight of life upon you, borne alone,
will be insupportable. Take life, full
of defeat and grief, of inevitable
losses and partings as it must be, with
all the love of your fellow man to
brighten it, and life is success.-Delin.
