THROUGH At As.

The Pennsylvania railroad has just discharged
1900 employees. not because it does not need
workers. but because these men were beyond the
limit when taken into service.
Back during the days the railroads reached
out for men and it laid aside its inexorable rule
that be employed who had passed his 45th
birthday.
These 1000 hired then. answering the call
of industry and the country do their bit They
knew that they could work and did work but when
the boys came back and jobs became scarce the
road dug up its old rule and they go.
This railroad is alone in its age limit for
employees and its rule is but reelection of the
attitude of all industry and even commerce towards
the worker

4 CLUB FOR KINGS.

What is that impulse OF the human mind which
plans the gortesque sDectacIes for mankind?
some one Interested in tracing the beginning Of
impulses should explain the suggestion of that for
rner Indiana woman. now princess by marriage,
that there be formed n club which only kings
be admitted.
A terrible thing has happened. she says. She
finds that pensions of deposed monarchs and OF IT
reigning ones have shrunken so far that longer
are they able TO give those lavish entertainments
for which the people shaved. She proposes for them
a club where only royalty may gather with the few
retalners and there divide the expense of gaety.
Another thing which her to shudder is
the fact that at the big gambling resorts once the
favore haunts OF these aris9ocrats they forced

brains and cannot that their fathers grand

made cheap by large production in order to safe
guard property rights.

crime, 1t might be suggested that newspapers do
terrify potential criminals than any other

Fell like Bedlam on our ears.
From the drive We heard the tumult

From the Bronx a sharp explosion
