The country generally has nct come into & full realization of the good serv- ice rendered tie peovie by the personal efforts of. Labor Commissioner Neill of the Washington bureau of labor, who succeeded in bringing about an agreement between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen and the railway companies between Chicago and the Pacific It is not strange that portending strike attract- ed the attention of the government and moved its agent to move for a stay of action until the matter could be specifically considered and justly settled. < strike would have tied up all railroad traffic between Chi- cago and the Pacific coast. ‘There weuld have been a blockade of freight beside which congestions such as have passed by that name in any recent vear would have seemed but trifling inconveniences. There would have beem difficulty in securing passenger transperation from point to point which would have embarrassed the ~hole traveling public in the wide re- glon sffected by the disturbance, It would have been a situation without a pasellel since 1594, the year of the sreat A.

It was a great achi ement, for whien United States Labor Commis- siomer 1 deserves the thanks of the American people. WY MEAT PRICES ADVANCED. ttention has been called to the fact the increase of the population by 0,000 and the decrease of the eef stock by 5,000,000 head is the :nsa of the present condition of the Mo eat market. The last advance in is now explained by the Feb- receipts of livestock. At the wen primary interfor markets, across Chicago to Omaha, these re- seipts were only 2,763,304 head. This 3= 10 per cent. below 1909 and 25 per below 1903. Receipts of hoss mere a ffth below the average of the jast five years. Shipments of packing Touse products for two months were a Afth below the five years' average, and canned meats, shipped m two months, were 6,010,506 pounds, when in 1806 they were 30,158,400 pounds, and no one thought them large then. Shipments as small as these cut oft the supply of meat at its source.: The T'nited States is producing more peo- ple and less meat, and meat naturally Tises The price of meat will mot be any lower until the supply and demand, ere properly adjusted . There has got to be a great increase In stock before Beef can be cheaper; and if present prices of milk and butter are to be maintained the decrease of milch cows in New England at the rate of 14,000 year, or an average of 40 a day, must e stopped. These adverse conditions give no future good promise. THRIVING ON VICE. Some people do mnot think that the use of tobacco temperately or intem- perately is a vice, and some who use it admit that it is a I'‘tle one—just a respectable vice—but few of the vic- tims of the habit realize how they »re annually being done out of their good money by the Tobacco trust, ahich has just announced that in 1909 tts earnings were thirty millions, of ~vhich $20,000,000 was paid in dividends upon its common stock, or 50 per cent. of its value. This trust started out with a mo- nopoly of the cigarette trade and quickly added the snuff monopoly and olug and smoking tobacco imdustry. nly the cigar trade is left, and the trust is manifesting its usual diligence in that direction, Excluding cigars, four-fifths of the tobacco: trade of the country is in the hands of the trust. In the last few years 200 independent tobaceo facteries have gone into the hands of the combine, more than halt of the total. It is not strange that congress is 1argely responsible for these ill-gotten profits. The size of tobacco packages was reduced in 1895, when the Spanmish war tax was laid by authority of con- gress, so that the old package prices could be maintained. In 1901 and 1502, when the war tax wes removed, nothing was done about enlarging packages again and the trust continued to delve deep into the pockets of the tobacco consumer for the wonted tax which went into the sobacco treasury to the tune of $20,- £00,000 a year, or about $200,000,000 §n azgregate since the trust was form- ed. The result of all this is that the Wobacco trust has a surplus of $42,- B10,000, or $102 for each share of stock Ehich sells on the New York curb for ore than $400, as well it might, with vidends of 30 to 40 per cent. of its mmr value. The New York woman who deplores #Bat no wife can make a suit of clothes for her husband in these days, doesn’t reelize that the 20th-century husband might decline to wear them, if she csuld.

The price’ of pork is high, but the top-motch, price has not yet been reached in New England. The top- noteh period was after the close of the Civil war when money was not worth much and provender was worth everything. It was then that the one- hundréd-dollar hog was sold in Ver- mont. The Rutland News tells the story in the following words: “Clarence S. Whittier, who was for several years in the meat business in Montpelier, and whose father, R. H. Whittier, had a meat market there for over 40 years, takes exceptions to the present hue and cry that 12 cents is the highest price ever paid for hogs in this section of the coun- try. He can remember, he says, a time shortly after the <ivil war when his father paid 16 2-3 cents a pound for the round hos, instead of the present price of 12 cents, and that, too, when a hog jvas supposed to weigh from 404 up before he was big enough to be butchered. He fells of one occasion when his father bought a hog of one of the farmers which weighed very nearly 600 pounds, which at 16 2-3 cents a pound would come to an even $100. The difference was so slight that his father paid the farmer $100 for the hog, which was the ban- ner price ever paid for one porker in this section of the country. “One summer and fall, Mr. Whit- tiers market ran short of salt pe and George W. Parmenter, who was then employed there, was sent out among the farmers to bu up salt pork, paying them 25 cents a pound for pork which was sold for 28 cents when it reached Montpelier.” Pork has some scope vet before it will reach the top notch prices of the last centur. . PRETTY GOOD NEGROES. The old soldiers have never proven se to the negroes of the country, for they know their true worth; but there are prejudiced white men who are always ready to declare: “L haven’t a blamed bit of use for a niggert—nome of ‘em!” This was said in the presence of an old soldier in Kansas the other day and he de- fended the blacks as follows: “I was captured at Charlestown and was in the fort there with other pris. oners. We officers were to ourselves; the white privates in a quarter to themselv. the negroes off in a little shack. The union fleet was planning to shell Charleston and earthworks were necessary. So one day a con- federate officer came in and climbed on a big box. In his hand he held a rope, made into a hangmean’s noose. He called the negroes to him. ‘Now, you d——n niggers,’ he exclaimed, ‘we need earthworks out in front here. We need them badly. You fellows are go- ing to be gziven a -chance to build them. If you refuse, every one of you will be hung tomorrow morning. It you work, you can have your freedom.” “The negroes dropped back and talked among themselves for a while, and then a spokesman came forward. “‘You kin whup us, an’ you kin starve us; an’ you kin hang us if yo' got to, but yo' caiw't git us to fight ag’in the union.’ “They didn’t build the earthworks, and they were not hanged, either.” Our colored fellow citizens have a proud record. Our colored men have proved loyal whenever and wherever they have been trusted from the days of Lexington to the fray at San Juan hill, when they saved the day. Men who have fought with them respect them for their valor and loyalty EDITORIAL NOTES.

There are quite as many elope- ments as divorces in this country, so sensations are never likely to end. The husband’s opinion of the wo- man’s page corfesponds with the wife's opinion of the sporting page.

When it comes to comets, the scien- tists do not agree upon them any more than the doctors do upon certain rare and rochety diseases. The fact that the editor of the Houston Post has bought a Bible has been noticed by a hundred newspapers: It is seldom a Bible is sold in Texas. Several recent criticisms of Ameri- can imaginative literature have made the point that in all our multitudinous output of fiction, while there has been a general dead level of artistic value, there has been no single peak—no lit- crary landmark, no creation of su- preme and endiring worth. There is nothing surprising about this: nothing that is not in accordance with the development of art and the laws of cultured life. Where thére is a compact and homogeneous society— say, in France, in England, in Iceland or the Isle of Manx—the student of manners, of customs, of dialect, has a comparatively easy task before him. So we have such intimate and distinct- ive stories as Daudet. Hall Caine—a thousand ~ capital tale-bearers—per- vaded by the very atmosphere of a {lmited country, have so cleverly writ- en. It is quite different with us. Our national Lfe is kaleidoscopic. The great American novel has not been written simply because there exists no American type as yet. The Creole in New Orleans, the Swede in Minne- sota, the Dutch in Pennsylvania, the colored man in the south, the Italians in New York—all these have been em- balmed in exqulsite portraiture. That is, in miniature. But until there ar- rives an amalgamation of our racial components how can we expect a story to be written, even by the highest gen. jus, which shall fuse these into on faifhful, Integral picture?—Philadel phia Press.

Speed and peril are always more or less closely allied; and it makes no difference whether the rule is applied | to fast boats or fast human the results age about the same. It is matural to applaud those who get there regardless of speed, but if they get disaster instead we charitably refer to them as the victims of foolishness. There are lots of people in this world who are aware that they got applause Dy the skin of their teeth. You may not have noticed that merit goes slow or that strong foundations are not the work of an hour. it has been discovered that feet tell tales as well as hands, and that one of the best places to read feet is in a restaurant, for when folks are seated and feeding they do not seem to know what to do with their feet. Am ob- server states that nine in every tem will sit with their feet turned outward and on their toes with the soles in full view. What they reveal camnot be told in one small paragraph: but it is said that the underpart of the shoes of a foppishly dressed young man showed his bare foot through the sole, whilé just above the top of his genteel low-cut, shoes a hole was no- ticeable in_his stocking. Now, what s this? Simply a hint to thofe whe dine in restaurants to look out whal their feet are disclosing while they are taking their meals During the month of April, Arcturus, the great sun about which our sun and its entire galaxy of planets has its orbit, making the journey once in 40,- 000 vears, will be one of the brightest stars in the east, and it is calculated to be about 20,000 light years away when at its farthest point from us; and a light-year represents as many miles as there are seconds in the year multiplied by 187,000. We haven't figured the distance, and do not mean to: but if the sun is over 326,000 tim@s the size of the earth, and Arcturus is 000 times the size of our su how large do you suppose the great central sun is that magnetically holds all stellar systems in place and in harmony? The wonders of the heav- ens are past finding out and their glory is incomprehensible, William writes me that when his great-grandfather went to school he used to read out of the Franklin prim- er, which was illustrated with coarse wood-cuts. A worried looking man in nightcap and pajamas is looking down on an adjoining roof upon which two cats are caterwauling, while a full moon rolls across the sky of 1778, or thereabouts; and beneath it is this reading lesson: “Is this a cat and a kit? Oh, yes; it is,a cit and a kit Can you hear the cat and the kit? yes; I can hear the cat and the The cat s the dam of the kit. the cat and the kit!” Now, 't this using swear words without swearing, too? The old school book makers used to regard this sort of thing as being humorous, and it was People are awful careless how they pay compliments. It may be a well in- tended remark to say that a kid looks like his father, but he may always be set down as good natured who can lis- ten to that and not break into e fit of bad temper. How does he know how his tather looked; and if he looks like his father how can he look like a kid? Do not you think there is something offensive in the remark, anyway? A nice little kid cannot look like a nice parent and be natural. We should not say things because they sound good, but because they are good. There is no doubt that dress is an' index of character, but lots of foiks never appear to find it out. A girl who dresses in the morning so that she looks like anything but a belle does not think that her younger evening ap-— pearance is not sufficient to carry her through. The same thing mav be said of 2 young man. It is general average of appearance which counts, not the occasional makeup. If you were going to guess the age of some women as they look in the morning you would have to divide the age they looked up to by two and then subtract ten Yrom the Temainder end you would hit it about right. A woman's youthful look is not wholly natural. Life is a conundrum all of us like to keep guessing and never like to give up. We may say that life lsn’t worth living, but we would not if we knew we should surely die if we said it. We, are queer; and if some of us don’t get any more out of life than we put into it, we shall not get much. We act as though we ought to get out cream when we are contributing parings. We expect a great deal more of life than we think life ought to expect of us; and we dom't mind our equilibriums any better than we do our p's and g Lift makes us tired, but few of us really tire of life, although many of us think that we do. The size of the servant girl prob- lem depends upon the character of the mistress. Some mistresses become a sort of second mother to servants; and some become tyrants in petticoats, with all sorts of varieties between. Such mistresses as think that. a servant hasn't any rights or privileges they are bound to respect are always making trouble for themselves It seems strange that some folks feel bound to treat thelr animals better than they do hired help; and hired help naturally re- sent being treated no better than a dog Tt is not a sign of high birth to treat humble folks with _disrespect. Shoddy plays the tyrant because its part is so unnatural that it doesn't know how to act it.

He is leaving Ve way of whimpers and sweets for the more strenuous way of life. He is for put- nto his muscles, instead vaste into his mouth. are behind him and home run looming up in front. It is a manly ambition thich possesses the soul of a boy and takes him from babyhood and sets him in the way to meet an umpire. It is the opening up of play sad the beginning of trouble—this is just what life is as played along different lines. Someone nas said: “Invite some men to take a drink and they measure gut “five_fingers” just to keep their hand in. This is ciothed as a joke, but it really is the mask of a hog, Some men cannot stand generosity any bet- ter than some others can stand pros- perity. They act Immoderately where it would be better to do otherwise. Politeness never mistakes generosity for licegse—only selfishness is caught doing that. The man who measures up his tod to keep his hand in, doesn’t keep his head level. There are too many heavy drinkers of this type— they are readier to drown themselves in liquor at the expense of a friend than at their own cost.

After greeting to garden and her little world, came with her troops of with father and er, river, a book and apple a nap in the crotch of a a swing on the gate, mother to one of mother's friends, a ramble in the woods, lunch for a hun- gry child and supper for a sleepy one, then a rocking to rest in_mother’s arms, and, finally, her goodnight to the stars. One day followed another, each to- morrow brighter and dearer than yes- terday had been; and to the child the world was a world the earth a friend, the trees were com- panions, the sl was a luminous prom- ise of unutterable things. Sunday was different. 1t was a day of restriction. The child dreaded its| but there were things about it that she liked. She loved the early stillness, the peaceful hush over ail familiar things, and the solemnity of her walk down 'the garden path in the golden sunshine, with the fragrance about her of clove pinks and honeysuckle and single-hearted roses, with the twitter- ing of the birds (who did not have to g0 to church), the rustling of leaves, the hum of impious insects, and, by and by, the ringing of the church-go- ing bells. She loved to hear the music of the bells come breaking over 5 the minister's voice dropped period like a welconfe drop of lead. meadow and river bank and babbling water to her. the child, alone in the perfumed garden. Except for the bells, she thought, people might forget it was Sunday. It was then that she would be called in. and obeyed with a sigh. There followed the swift changing of gar- ments, the pushing of small feet into patent leather ties, the slipping over her head of the starchy Sunday gown, the adjusting of her léghorn hat, and, lastly, the drawing of a pair of white gloves upon hot little reluctant hands. Decorously she would follow mother step by step down the stairs, admiring ber “most gentle lady” in her gown of silik and bonmet all lace and And now comes something else she loves—the lifting of the iron latch of the house door and the long slow re- verberating Tumble of the heavy door settling back upon its hinges. The Sunday rumble of the house door com- forted her in the weariness that was to follow. The little company of church goers filled out through the small front gate and started for the top of the road, forming in a sort of procession with the nelghbors and friends who were marching ahead and pressing after. Stoically little child followed her elders, knowing that neither father nor mother suspected her sufferin; Suffer she did, dumbly, as children do, accepting in silence the inevitable. There were no shade trees along the stretch of road leading to the meet- ing house, the sun beat pitilessly down upon the heat-baked earth, the glare was in her eves, the dust rose thick about her polished shoes, the starch of her Sunday gown scratched her neck, and, long before she gained the top of the road, the sensitive child was 0roop- ing in exhaustion. Clinging to her father’s hand, she was giad to mount the wooden steps, and to enter the ves- I i h lth shait gfi i : | : i £ 1 ai; i B I it § i i % i H N i it ;E ‘ st | i %izég Hee i ! g i eyeli could have re-peopled the aisles and with the heroes of old, and would have loved the sermon-time even more. If onl. had all been over when the ction was pronounced! | Dut af- ter church came Sunday school, held in the chapel adjoining, where the tired and tortured child was put into a class with other small vietims and ques- tioned concerning high and holy mys teries, to which not even “a little child” can give answer. At last, even this was over, the closing hymn had been shouted out by shrill childish voices, her hot-held coin dropped into the mission box. and she was free to go. She flew. There was the long hot dusty walk home in the glaring sun- light of an August noon, and it was a tired but grateful child that heard once more the rumble of the big front door, and stepped into the cool dark entry, and climbed the stairs to mother’s room, and begged to have her Sun gown taken off. It was a hap- py child who drew a long walked in the garden, and the sky, and breathed in the air, and, in her dumb, childish way, was glad that God had made the world. THE RECLUSE. SUNDAY MORNING TALK GIVING AS YOU GO ALONG. We folks with modest purses stand in awe today in the presence of some of the mighty benefactors of our time. To be able to give a million dollars at a clip and not feel it or $10,000,000 or $50,000,000; to be able to pension a lot of aging college professors; to plant libraries all over the land, 10 subsidize on a royal scale a host of struggling educational institutions, and last, but by no means least, to do an unprece— dented thing in the annals of benevo- lence, namely, to make over prospec- tively the hugest fortune n the coun- try for the ends of human relief and betterment—ah, what would we not give to be able to pour out money like that! Such lavish giving makes the half dollar we put into the contribu- tion box last Sunday look like 30 cents or less. But wait a bit. Do you realize that there are some greaf disadvantages in such tremendous benfactions? In the first place your motives are like- 1y to be misunderstood. “He's doing it,” people say, “because he wants to affix his own name forever to some school building or library.” Another set of critics cynically remark that no matter how much Mr. Money bBags gives away he is sure to reserve an ample supply for himself and his heirs and these critics unfeelingly declare that it won’t make a particle of differ- ence with him personally. He will have just as many estates in this coun- try and Scotland as he had before and hé won’t have to forego @ single golf stick. Even more heartless comment s passed to the effect that all this money really belongs to the public, having been filched from them in one ‘way and another and that Mr. Money Eags is only making tardy restitution to the people or the helrs of the people whom he himself has mercilessly and systematically squeez.ed. I am stating these various eriticisms not to justify them, but to emphasize the point that the wisest and most ef- fective kind of benevolence is that which waits not for great accumula- tions but utllizes the opportunity af- forded by today. This is the kind on which our great missionary and philan- thropic enterprises have relied chiefly in the past. They- have done their splendid work in this and other lands largely because they were made the almoners of a vast multitude of small gifts, and they were all the more pr cious gifts because so large @ propor: tion represented toil and sacrifice. They were the sort of gift and represented the kind of giving which the Saviour commended when one day he saw a plainly dressed widow step shyly up to the treasury and put in her mite, for said he: “She hath given out of her poverty even all that she had.” We make a great mistake when we hold our generous impulses in leash until we have a big pile of money to dispose of. That day may never come, and even if it should we must not lose, as we go along, the education and the joy that arise from giving out of even slender resources. “In his wide kingdom God has nnu- merable uses Tor just such little gifts the fruit of thought and love and sac- rifice. A thousand pities it would be if the world should become so full of \generous millionaires tumbling over one another in their haste to give away money that the day laborer who loves God and his fellowmen, or the seam- stress who, as she stitches away, cheered by the thought of her little investments in home and foreign mis- sions, should come to feel that their little offerings were not needed or were overlooked by their Father in heaven. In the long march of the.years the kingdom of God could get along bet- ter without the millionaire than with- out them THE PARSON.
