 Shortly after he obtained his de- gree, in 1865, Clemenceau became in Volved in a revolution against Ma poleon III, than emperor and was sent to prison.

At that time CIemenceau wrote for the Paris Temps, and spent most of his spare time at the Astor Library.

Speaking of feminine hobbies, Ma dame Clemenceau Jacquemaire re- marked that her fayorite diversion is needlework, and especially lace work, in which she has become quite pro- ficient.

FARMERS AND LABOR UNIONS.

The farmers have no quarrel with
organized labor, and are in full sym
pathy with its legitimate aims, bu
they feel a little dubious about the
more radical measures which involvei
the production stopping strike, the de
creased working hours and no dis
elimination in wages for efficiency.
Figures carefully gathered have
proved that the average farmer after
paying his expenses receives for his
personal labors, lower wage than
demanded by most unskilled union
workers at trades in the city. Ye
the farmer must work on in the face
Of rising cost of production, or what
would be the result?
Moreover, the constituted forcing of
wages in town is having its effect
upon the farm wage. As an editoria
in the Country Gentleman points out:
Under present conditions farm wages
are sky high and still going up.
Three, four and five dollars day and
board land why not, when masons
are getting eight dollars and the only
qualification is the possession of a
union card? But if these prices are
to prevail on the land, what about

and lockouts. After all, your ques-

There may be and no doubt are
radicals in the labor movement. There
are some BoIsheviks in the United
States who claim to speak in the nam
and IN the interests of labor. These
the organized labor movement of
America regard as enemies to the
cause of labor and justice, and enc
mics to the Republic Of the United
States.

MINCE PIE.

The Great Falls Mont Tribune re-
minded the men who ATTENDED t4ie 34th
Annual Press Association Convention
there recently, that Tor some good
reason. rnince pie is now the fastest
morsel on the bill of fare, or the re-
staurant shelf, whichever the case may
be.
Here's how the Tribune divulged the
secret:
among the Montana editors who
are in Great Falls today there are
many who in the past have advocated
irrigation, and there are those who
had much to do with the drourh which
has settled upon the state 1--WE do not
refer to that kind of drouth which
keeps the wheat growing). But to
Great Falls comes the signal honor of
entertaining the newspapermen OF
Montana at a time, and the first time
when both advocates of irrigation and
drouth have for their common objec-
tive, the mince pie like mother used
to make, with kick given by old
fashioned hard apple cider.
"Time was, and not so long ago,
when a convention Of Montana news
papermen would have shifted at
mince pie. Well, they sniff at it now,
but from an entirely different view
point to that Of other days. The mince
pie sniff of today is as different from
the mince pie sniff of formerly as
sunshine is from rain.
'9The mince pie sniff of former years
was sniff Of utter disdain and con-
tempt The mince pie sniff of today
is expensive of pleasure, hope, and
yearning. 1t lights up the counten-
ance of the sniffer like parlor match
in a dark alley. And the beauty of
it is that cont tell whether the sniff
fling because Of recollections Of mince
pies Of his boyhood's day or becaase
of memories of other days, not so Tar
removed and associated with mince
pies only as regards odor.
"At any rate, editors, have a mince
pie. It won't affect your political or
moral standing, and tim ay do you
good. Times have changed and it's the
best we've got " Empeco News.

AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES

Wages for wives were turned down
by an audience largely of women here
the other night after a debate on
whether husbands should be required
to pay such wages, says the Philadeta
phia Evening Bulletin.
One speaker drew dismal picture
of the future of romance with wives
working for wages.
Imagine scene like this" he said<
Honey, do you love me2"
"Of course / love YOU.
"Then will you marry me?"
"Well, maybe. How much do you
pay?"
Suppose the wives were to join the
soviet of waiters-Hp and charge triple
wages for waiting up nights for hua.

"Imagine wife going into society
and being labeled a $15-a-week wife.
A woman can take last-year hat and
make it look like new. But when she
signed contract for $15 week there
would be no hiding from the Reigh4
bors.
Another speaker pleaded that swom~
an shall not be brought down from her
pedestal as a queen and made mere
of man." In depicting the
future of romance under the wage syS-
tenn he said the marriage ceremony
would have to be revised to read:
with the ring | hire thee, and wilA
pay thee SIS week by the aid of the
world, the flesh and the devil"
Notices like the following he pre-
dicted would be published:

Smith by Rev. Russell II. Conwell,
They will live in Logan and the wife,a

Scenes like the following in court
were forecast:
