Flaming Truths for Canners, Steel Trusts and Especially for the Nation's Rulers Are These, That the Poor's Love of Home Is Born in Heaven and That the Love ef Country Has Its in Love of Home Rise xark that if ever house Let us linger for an instant t } hold affections anil loves are graceful things, they are graceful ¢ poor, a rhe ties that bind the wealthy and proud to home may be forged on earth, but those which link the poor man to his humble hearth are of the true metal and bear the stamp of heaven! The man of high descent may love the of his inheritance as a part of himself, as birth and power; his associations with them of pride and wealth and triumph. The poor ment to the tenement which he holds, which strangers have held before, and may tomorrow occupy again, has a worthier foot, struck deep into a purer soil, His household-gods are of flesh and blood, with no alloy of silver, gold or precions stone. He has no property but in the affections of his own heart; and when they endear bare floors and walls, despite rags and toil and scanty meals, that man has his love of home from God, and his rude hut becomes a solemn place Oh, if those who rule the destiny of nations would bat remember this—if they would but think how hard it is for the very poor to have engendered in their hearts that love of home from which all domestic virtues spring, when they live in dense and squalid masses where social decency is lost, or rather never found—if they would but turn aside from the wide thoroughfares and great houses and strive to improve the wretched dwellings in byways where only poverty may walk—many low roofs would point more truly to the sky than the loftiest church steeple that now rears proudly up from the midst of guilt and crime and horrible disease, to mock them by its contrast. ee In hollow voftes from workhonse, hospital and jail, this truth is preached from, day to day, and has been proclaimed for years. It is no ligtt matter—no outcry from the working vulgar—no mere question of the people's health and com- forts that may be whistled down i In love of home; the love of country has its rise; and who are the truer patriots or the best in time of need—those who venerate the land, owning its wood, and stream, and earth and all that they produce? or those who love their country, boasting not a foot of ground in all its wide domaifi? —Charles Dickens in “Old Curiosity Shop.” Ha! Now Male Dress Reform! The editor of the Christian Science Monitor appears to be almighty bine, for a Scientist, over the proposition for teform in man’s dress that is now raging in Germany and that promises to make its awful way to our own dear country And, by heck! as Uncle Kitchel Pixley or Ralph Emerson would exclaim, anything that’s got a Scientist editor to moan- ing has got us scared to the roots of our hair, if any. The German idea is that man can get along without vest, shirt, trousers, hat and collar. Keep your madras on, figuratively speaking, until we get @ chance to announce that these. German reformers suggest substitutes for the above mentioned articles. For 4 shirt, thou shalt wear a blouss; for a trouser, knee breeches of an evening, or a Roman toga when the daylight s sough through thy busy marts of trade; for a hat, own hair, which fatter means that the bald must train whiskers upward with thatch roof effect Looking some American men over studiously, we garner that you can't always tell what the American man will im the matter of dress. Then, too, there is somewhat of in the idea of. sailing down to work wrapped in a sheet, with a cinch buckle the only thing to fasten or to hung for under the bedchamber bureau. There are certain of our cut-throat collars which we believe we could burn with joy. There are times in the year when we could hang our best shirt as high as Woodrow Wilson's electoral vote and take to the blouse. We have cussed the wilting creases in our pants of an evening until knee breeches have no terrors to us. But all Germany, including Alsace-Lorraine, can't make us promote the breeding of whiskers or the exposure of the top of the male head to August's sunny rays or Feb- “Still, we'll keep “an eye an that German innovation in dress.

Why goew the city run two or three elapmy ment offices at a nominal charge’? This would occasion the sincerest thanks of many working men and they are worthy of some considera tion. tT. H. WINSLOW.

Last time I was in Seattle a man took his hat off in an elevator, but the others did not follow suit.
