A REALIZATION AND A PLEA.
CHAPTER CxLIIr.

Everett did not once speak to me
all thru dinner. felt my thoughts
disordered, confused. Had 1 again
been wrong? 1 dared not try to make
conversation before Thomas; did not
know what I might say. My brain
was not sufficiently collected. Had it
not been that Miss Pierce had seemed
to eagerly to welcome my presence. I
should still have doubted them. But
she was unaffectedly glad to see me.
so anxious to consult me, that I did
not know what to think.
1t shot across my mind, as we sat
there silent, how strange 1t was that
one human being should have so little
sympathy with another. I felt that
Everett was all out of sympathy with
demning him-my unfair criticism.
but because he did not love me as he
should.
1 felt some way that things had
come to crisis. That Everett would

his ideas upon such subjects. He had
no patience with anyone who did such
things.
The thought of Everett's love for
that other woman who had been his
wife, chung to me like a vicious web.
I had struggled against it, but 1t had
enwrapped me, poisoning my life. I
never had been able to shake It from
me.
1 had been unfair to him in allow
ing myself to become so enmeshed in
jealousy for her that it, had made me
unhappy. SO annoying him-even tho
he knew not the reason. I had been
unfair in regard to his acquaintance
with Irma Barton and others-proved
wrong in my suspicious. And now
had 1 been unjust about Miss Pierce :?
If I had, what had I to find fault
with? Quickly into my mind leaped
the answer:
THE love I long for is not mine!'
Then followed the thought: IT have
heard that one can really love but
once. Perhaps Everett gives me all
he has to give" So, harried by such
thoughts, 1 excused myself when we
had finished and went up to hear
what Miss Pierce had to say.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
man of twenty-one, with common
school education in italian and also in
English. Because of my position in
the day time L have a lot of time to
myself and have ambition to study.
1 would like to take up something
that would lead to good position
and better future What would you
advise me to study?
~ ITALIAN-AMERICA
After sufficient. preparation you
might secure position in an export
sales department. I would suggest
that you talk to the principal of some
night school and ask his advice. After
taking courses in English composition
and salesma nship you ought to be able
to secure position of this nature.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I know a
young man three years my s-nior.
We have been unfriendly for some
time. Before he always showed me
respect, but now is quite different.
One day while standing near the
house he came along and from habit
had my foot out He tripped over it.

time you caused him to stumble.

Thirty years ago we did not deport
anarchists but we did hang them.
Perhaps the new method will be found
just as effectual as the old; it certain
ly is more humane. For years there
went on in Chicago. and known to
everybody, an organized anarchist agi-
tation. A newspaper was regularly
published in its interest. Its adher-
euts held regular meetings for pur-
poses of systematic training. 1t cul-
minated in the mountaineering mas
sacre OF policemen at the Haymarket
Then, after due trial. and after an APP
peal most carefully considered by the
supreme court Of Illinois, four of the
leaders were hanged and several 9TH
ers sentenced to long terms of i'm
prlsonment. For years afterward one
heard nothing more of Chicago an
archism except a pilgrimage made
every year-and> quite undisturbed by
the pollce-to put flowers on the
graves of the four men who had for
feited their lives to the stern require
ments of the law.

AS OTHERS SEE Us.

The efforts of Governor Allen and
the Kansas legislature to solve the la
Dor problem is being watched with in
terest in many parts OF the country.
Under the caption, 1.-THE Kansas
Cure" the Detroit News discusses the
subject as follows:
1t is difficult, of course, to deter
mine just what measure of success
awaits the work of the court of indus
trial relations which Governor Allen
and the people of Kansas are present
ly to launch. On the face of it this
seems to be an effective measure, for
the very curious reason that both cap
ttal and labor are strongly fighting its
passage. Labor does not want It be-
cause labor leaders contend that Ia
Dor cannot be regulated by law or
compelled to do anything 1t does not
want to do. Capital contends that the
plan is worthless because it sets up
a greater alleged interest than prop
erty, this interest being the general
public. To add greatly to the con-
sternation of these two parties 1t is
reported that public sentiment is
strongly behind the measure.
The Kansas scheme Is not new nor
even unique to any one who has given
thought to this question. Many OF US
nave come to the conclusion that the
labor VS.. capital dispute is to be solved
only. in the light of the proposition
that the public is more directly and
vitality interested in the uninterrupted
operation of essentials than either the
employer or the employee; that the
public is as directly interested in good
wages. decent hours. clean. sanitary
and healthful working conditions as is
the laboring man; and that the public
is as Interested in the successful,
profitable and economic operation of
any essential industry as the employ
err" Assuming that both have at heart
the welfare of the whole social group
OF which they are a part, this assertion
is undeniable.
So evident is its truth. indeed, that
it would seem that both parties which
now oppose the industrial court which
the people of Kansas are about to give
a trial ought to be ready to yield any
slight advantage they may apparently
hold, one over the other, and both
over the public. If for no other reason
than to remove all obstacles to give
this experiment a fair chance to DEM
onstrate itself
If. despite present objection to IT
should become an effective means OF
abolishing industrial disturbances and
melting out justice to all parties con-
cerned, the state of Kansas will have
given this country something of which
1t has long stood in need. In the
months to come we shall look to Kan
sas with a great deal of interested
anxiety.

FRIENDS.
The world is peopled thick with men
OF every kind and style,
And some possess the worlds success
And some are much worth while,
Aid some may ride in chariots fine,
And some wear jeweled crowns,
Some rule the state, and some are great,
And some wear ermine gowns;
But each of us. from all this throng,
Selects chosen few.
And names them best above the rest,
For they're his comrades true.
Who cares what robes a friend may wear
Or what his sum of gold?
Who'd turn aside a comrade tried,
To be by Kings extolled?
Who'd change his friends from what they
are
To what another seems?
What stranger great could make us hate
The colnrade of our dreams7
Oh. men by millions fill the world,
And great the deeds they DO,
But better far than others are
4 Remains a comrade true.
BE may be but n humble nan,
But IL his love you hold,
By such a love he stands above
The enighbor rich with gold;
He may not own the touch OF fame.
Nor walk with stately grace,
But IL he knows and shares your woes
No king can take his place.
Let men grow great and men grow rich
Until lfe's struggle ends,
Above the throng tho weak or strong, o =
Man stifT shall hold his friends.

Malt sugar strip is brand new
sweet which has arrived on a com
mercial scale at the psychological mo-
ment to relieve the sugar shortage,
say specialists OF the federal bureau of
chemistry In addition to being a
sweet, malt sugar strip is said to have
delicious flavor, resembling that of
honey. Malt sugar strip is made
from the same grains as beer, and
may be made from corn or potatoes or
any plant containing starch. Barley,
which was used until recently in the
manufacture OF beer, can be used now
to produce malt sugar strip. Brew
cries with very little change can be
used and are now being used for it's
manufacture. Up to a certain point
the process for making malt sugar
strip is the same as the process for
making beer. 1t can be used for
everything for which cane sugar is
used. The brewers, who complained
that their property had been rendered
valueless by prohibition. seem to have
been left without a leg to stand on.

LABoR's CHANGE OF FRONT.

Kansas is the first e. tie to move in
the direction of bringing about the
Incorporation of labor unions. but the
idea has been taking firm hold in
other quarters. Labor is now SO pow
erful and is able to cause so much
damage that it should no longer be
exempt from penalties for OVERRIDING
its own exploitation. 1t should be
placed upon level with corporations
which are regulated and restricted
from injuring the public, thru the
Sherman law and the Clayton law.
Labor unions should be incorporated
and made amenable to damages under
these laws. Any action detrimental to
public policy would then be Stunned
by the unions. as it is now summed by
.he corporations. The public is pro-
tected against the trusts. but the labor
unions, as shown in the threatened
results of the coal strike, can do the
public far more damage than the
trusts could if they were embarrassed
and the unions can do it more
quickly.
Labor is beginning to comprehend
the disadvantage to it's interests of
further threatening use of force as a
weapon in compelling compliance with
its demands and may decide to accept
its share of responsibility for the pub
lie welfare without a fight. This is
shown by the result of the series of
conferences between the American
Federation OF Labor and the four rail-
road brotherhoods, when it was de-
cided that there would be no strike of
railroad workers.
The conference seems to have de-
voted a considerable part of it's time
to endeavoring to formulate a labor
plank for the railroad bill, unmindful
of the fact that no new legislation in
this regard can be considered by the
conference committee, which is con-
fined in it's decisions to the provisions
of either the Eseh or the Cummins
bill. Several of the railroad unions
have wage demands pending before
the railroad administration and are
making efforts to have these passed
upon before return to private owner
ship.
Inc abandonment or strike talk,
says the Bache Review. lis evidently
due to the fact that the leaders believe
that further threats will have a bad
public effect upon their unions. and
one of the leaders is credited with say
ing that he does not believe a general
strike is possible and if it were
brought about it would only defeat it
self by entailing disaster and suffer-
ing to labor in other lines" Another
of the leaders is quoted in the New
York World as saying: Railroad
men are naturally conservative, and
they are. as a rule. inclined to cling
to what they have got rather than to
risk all by striking for something they
at heart do not believe they are en-
titled to, as matter of right"
