LABOR'S PROTEST.
W. D.Greene.

No. sir we do not ask for charity.
Nor in the bread line do we wish %
stand;
We only want a chance TO earn our living
As frce-born sons of this, our native
land.
Throughout the war we worked both late
and early,
We did our duty as we best knew how
4 hundred obs then waited for VIZ daily,
But not single Job awaits US now.
Our poor rich men resolved to make
their millions.
In war times worked us hard both day
and night:
But now they have no places for our labor
Because no triple profits are in sight.
And so while they await the golden
moment
To circulate their shel1els for big gain
The working man. with loved ones "a

Must walk the streets and beg foI
work in vain

HOUR OF KISSES COST $500.
Chicago Jury Assesses Quick Action
Man $50 for Each Oscillation.

Chicago, Jan. l1.--Aurelius G.. 1nr-
pin was fast worker and stuck 10 the Job
with commcndable tcuacity when he
gave Miss Virginia Foster 90 kisses IN an
hour. They were not little canary-bird
limitations Of kiss, but were OF the
moist olinpng variety. Hence Miss
Foster did not have much time to breathe
in that blssful hour. A jury assessed the
kisses at $50 each and Turpin was ordered
to pay her $500 for his osculatory per-
fofmance.
The case was first tried in the Su-
perior Court here and the Appellate
Court has just upheld the verdict. The
evidence showed that Turpin made prom
ises of marriage during such moments
as Miss Foster was getting her breath.
He also promised some other things,
which the jury overlooked, with view,
she claims, of getting her services ms q

pelatc Court holds Tint 1urpin may

srownlna,s Poetry.

The truth is that many readers of
verse resent any demand upon their
intellectS; poetry TO them being only
a pleasing indulgence-an occasional
substitute for Sherbet-not to be
taken seriously. Certainly Browning's
poetry is not for such. No one to-
day who knows 'Sordello'' derides it,
for, difficult as 1t is TO the beginner.
II contains many veins of the pure
gold of poetry and its pictures Of the
passionate, tumultuous life of the late
Twelfth and early Thirteenth CEN

fiicts of Guelf and Ghibelline by which
1t was torn. are unequaled In vivid
