a patron of MandeI Bros. I wish to
take the pleasure of thanking Mr..
Kelly for printing in the Mandel
Bros News a letter thanking the
employees for their hearty co-opera-
ton duEing the previous year \Of
prosperity.
Mr.. Kelly, do you think your I'M
derpaid employees have much faith
in the MandeI Bros store in receiv-
ing reward for their services?
Do you think that with thanks
they can buy more food and dress up
to the minute, with everything going
up, for the meager wages you pay
your slaves?
Mr.. Kelly, you know we don't live
forever. You might die any time. So
at least, while you are alive, do
something for your employees during
this high cost of living.
Consider, there is still chance to
make good with the principle you
preach to your employees to be cour-
teous. Practice on your employees
first what you preach to them.

can 20 q long time without food. and in
his hurried travels between Rome and the
front he has shown unceasing energy and
u%ntiring zeal.
While he has nevcry openly intcrtered
with the conduct of military affairs, the
King has not hesitated 10 exert his au-
'thority as head Of the army when he be-
lieved that his interference was called for.
Among both officers and men of the army
he is respected and beloved, though he has
the reputation of being a strict disciple
marian. somewhat severe al times and very
cxacting in regard 10 his officers, from
whom he expects not only obedience and
strict attention to duty, but. what i Of
even more Importance nj the present time,
thorough capacity and efficiency.
For more than two years now Victor
Emmanuel has spent nearly all OF his time
ut the front. The Soldicrly qualities that
he has developed and his genuine longing
to be ever near the firing line are all The
more surprising I'm view of his maieSty's
well known taste for a domestic life.
Among all of the rulers of Europe the king
of Italy has been known ~ one of the

he lived mere like a middle class French

KING EMMANUEL.
TO BE HONORED
PEOPLE OF ITALY TOMORROW WILL
CONGRATULATE HIM ON REACH
ING HIS 48rH BIRTHDAY.

ROME, Nov. l0.-Many and sincere VII
be the congratulations bestowed by the
Italian people upon their king tomorrow on
the occasion of his maiesty's forty eighth
birthday anniversary. In the great crisis
through which Italy has been passing We
tor Emmanuel has impressed himself anew
upon the government and the country. The
impression i distinctly favorable.
The war has served to reveal 10 the ltal-
ian people the true character and strong
qualities of their king. Before the war.
Notwithstanding the fact that he had oc-
cupicd the throne for fifteen wears. Victor
Emmanuel was almost an unknown guam
tity To the Italian nation. lie seldom or
never openly interfered with his ministers
of state. What he thought he kept 10 HIM
self. and his impressive demeanor, prob
ably cultivated. helped him to maintain n
non-committal attitude.
From the day that Italy entered the
wal the king has shown forth in a new
light. Ills personal acts a. well a. his
proclamation to the people demonstrated
that he possessed the qualities that fitted
him to stand at the head of the nation
through the most critical period that Italy
has known since the establishment of the
kingdom. Those who supposed that the
kings slight physique went along with n
wayering resolution and a supersensltive
temperament nave been speedily rid of this
mistake.
Victor Emmanuel has displayed excellent
judgment a. well a personal bravery since
the commencement of the war. Although
the constitutional head Of the army, he
has not endeavored to pose "a a great sol
der or military genius. In doing his bit
at the front he has been content to fll .
subordinate place. faring little better M
times than the common soldier. The real
direction of the great campaign he has left
absolutely To General Cadorna and his
staff. On frequent orcasIons he has shown
that he has q rather wide understanding
Of military matters and has studied them
closely, but for all this he has not attempt
ed TO impose his opinions or his authority
on the men entrusted with the command 81

manuel has shown himself almost i'm
