' he Man of V Melancholy, 6 oooooooooooooo (Copyrtf ht, 1909. by American Prtss Asae- clatlon. Cbamonlx is a little village In a val ley of the same name surrounded by the Swiss Alps. The chief occupation f tbo young men of Chamonlx Is that of guide to tourists. One of theso guides, William Lubken, came home one evening from conduct ing a stranger on a mountain clirubrag expedition without his charge. lie re ported that the stranger had been caught in an avalanche and carried over a precipice. LubUn at the begin ning of Uie snow's movement, which was slow, had succeeded in reaching a rock, to which be clung. The rope by which climbers are always united broke, and the stranger had been borne sway from him. The broken part of the rope he showed in evidence of his story. Albert Twlngle started a suspicion that Lubkln had cut the rope to save himself; that Lubken had frayed the cut part to show that it had been bro ken. This suspicion grew till it was believed by many of the villagers. though the guides who at any time might be liable to the same charge would not hear of it Lukbeu never recovered from the obloquy cast upon him. He left Chamonlx, and the place knew him so more. One day twenty years later a trav eler with white hair and beard came to Cbamonlx. All the guides were anxious to be employed by him, but he engaged none of them. He sat all day looking up at the mountains and the glaciers, apparently suffering from melancholy. While he was at Qiamo nlx a traveler appeared and asked for a guide. Albert Twlngle, now Bearing an age when guides usually givo up a calling requiring both nerve and strength, was engaged. lie started with the traveler to explore the Mer de Olacs. In the evening Twlngle re turned and reported that while ths stranger was attempting to look dowa into a crevasse the ice had broken and he had fallen between the cold Jaws. When he told the harrowing story to the assembled people the man of mel ancholya name given to the unknown stranger was sitting, as usual, on the porch of his hotel. He spoke the first words he was known to speak since coming to Chamonlx. "You lie? You have rnnrdered and robbed him!" Twlngle was horror stricken at the accusation, but could not prove that it was false. The other guides took up the matter in his behalf, and it was agreed that one of their number should be lowered into the crevasse to bring up the body. The lot fell to one named Obers, and the next morning all went to the crevasse, the man of melancholy going with them. The sacrament had been administered to Obers before his dangerous descent, and as he was about to put the rope about his waist the man of melancholy seized it and, encircling his own waist, said: "Do you think I am a coward to make this charge without bearing the brunt of a conviction or an acquittal." There was something about the man which, surprised as they were at a mere traveler volunteering to undergo such an ordeal, awed those looking on. They were a superstitious people, and many of them , crossed themselves, thinking that he who made the offer was some guide returned from his white tomb under an avalanche or the devil himself. No one opposed him, and, having placed the rope around his waist, taking a bell In one hand and an alpenstock in the other to push him self from the sharp Ice edges, be was slowly lowered into the crevasse. Tlire times he rang his bell and each time was raised and revived from suf focation. Mori., and more the rope. was paid out, while the women prayed and the men listened for some sound from below. Six hundred feet had been paid out when there came a Jerk on the rope, and the men began to pull. Tho weight was doubled. There was breathless silence while the men pulled, but when the man of melancholy came to the surface bear ing a human body a shout arose from among the onlookers that long rever berated among the surrounding cliffs. The tourist's watch and money were found on the body. Twlngle was in nocent. The people crowded around Twlngle to congratulate him, but be broke away from them and strode toward the stranger. "In heaven's name, woo are your" he cried. "Who am If I ara the man whom years ago you accused of cutting the rope that bound me to my charge. I am William Lubkin." Ilad an avenging angel come from heaven to punish Twlngle the scene could not have been more awe inspir ing than the sljrht of this man who bad vindicated the name of one who had blighted his life. Twlngle's eyes fell to the ground; his head sank upon his breast; then, staggering, he left both his vindicator and his friends and descended alone into the valley. Silently the people gathered around the man of melancholy. Some of the older ones took his hand and kissed it, while the younger ones looked on awe stricken. Finally an old man who had known Lubkln when a boy said: "This is an awful revenge, William. It would have been more merciful if you had driven a knife into his breast" Lubkln made no reply. Turning from the faces that were all toward his, he walked down alone toward Cbamonlx. But If he went there no one saw him enter the town, and he was never seen there a iraln. ERNEST TUCKER. .

Government officials now in Muskogee enert that no fraud in town lots ever investigated will equal the stupendous proportion of that now figuring in the government ease here. Witnesses from a. dozen states be gan to arrive Monday to testify before the federal grand jury whkh met on that day. The government officials say there is nothing in the records to show who these persona are, but that a large corps of secret neTviee men have worked for months to find them. - These secret service men, it f said, have got from the. vitneeg,aflidvtts tha.tr they were used as "dummies" in scheduling tlte lots,' and that they knew nothing of tlie use of their names until 'asked' within the past three years to sign quitclaim deeds to ten lots. About half of this numebr are reported to have signed the deed, while the other half, suspecting something irregular, declined to affix their signatures. . The discovery was made Monday that one of the men sum moned to serve upon the grand jury is the son-in-law of ono f the men accused and brother-in-law of another. These men will be protested 1 as jurors, and other prospective jurors will be exam ined, particularly with a, view to weed out any relative of the men involved. Governor C. N.

Wlsner, national organizer ot the Garment Workers' union, la a re cent address at Watortown, Wis., said In part; ...... The trades union movement has done more toward the elevation of mankind than all other agencies com' blned. Ills has been accomplished by Increasing the wages of the worker, thereby establishing a higher standard of living and by shortening the hours of labor giving the worker an oppor tunity for mental improvement And still greater good will have been ac complished when we shall have abol lshed the system of child sluvery and of discrimination against the female workers. We know that woman must toll, but we protest against her being com pelled to toll for a mere pittance Just because she is a woman. In union printing offices, union cigar factories, union tailor shops in fact, In all union shops we find men and women work' ing side by side and receiving equal pay for equal work. Now, we don't have to go Into the factories to see the other side of this picture. Ge into our public schools and you will find the entirely capable female teacher com pelled te work for from CO to 70 per cent of the wages paid to her mascu line colleague for the same work. If these educated women have te work under these conditions, what must be the condition of their uneducated and unorganized sisters? Perhaps yon will be able to realise something of their conditions when I tell you that ia the city of Baltimore women are making shirts at B-i cents per dozen, that they are working from C o'clock In the morning until 11 o'clock at night in their so called home workshops for six days each week and then receive 15 for their week's pay. In a elgar factory at Perth Am boy, N. J., women are "working fifty-four hours per week for J3, and their product is brought into direct competition with the prod uct of the union shops. The system of child slavery exists in all sections of our conn try. We find the little children of tender years working from dawn until dark In the sardine canneries of Maine, la the cot ton mills of New England and ths south, In the coal breakers of Pennsyl vania and in the sweatshops of ail oar great cltites. I have seen sights which would cause your heart to ache aad expect to see them, again unless yes end this nefarious system. The convicts ia our state prisons are being used for the purpose of dragging down the free and law abiding workeH to a lower level. And we have not the doubtful advantage of purchasing the products of these convicts at a loww price. I have followed this matter uk carefully and have always fotind thai we had to pay the same price for the products of prison labor that we have to pay for the product of free labor, xne sweatsnop exists in all our great centers of population, and it it here that the great white plague hai its inception. It is difficult for you, here in the pure bracing air of Wis consln, here in your beautiful city oi happy homes, to Imagine the conditions ef the sweatshops. Just try to pic ture a dingy, unventilared room of about 12 by 12 and then imagine that room packed with workers of all ages and both sexes tolling In that vitiated air. We can describe the physical filth in the sweatshop, but the moral filth is Indescribable. We have found part ly made clothing in the sweatshops of New York and Brooklyn used te cover children suffering from scarlet fever, whose sickbed was la one corner of the sweatshop. We frequently find the consumptive who has contracted the disease in these pest holes, work ing in the sweatshop, expectorating carelessly, and his germ laden product Is scattered over the land, carrying it burden of disease and death into our homes. We are spending vast sums to fight this cSsease, but It will accom plish little until we abolish child slav ery and eliminate the sweatshop. The power to abolish these condltiens is In your hands. Will you use It? Are you going to make this world a better place to live iu than you found or are you going to try te make it worse? You can easily make It better by using your purchasing power Intelligently. Insist on the union label on every ar ticle you purchase and thereby pro tect the werklug woman and emanci pate the child slave. No labor organisation will permit their label to be used on the product of any manufacturer unless all of his product Is made in clean, sanitary workshops, by fairly paid adult labor and with equal pay for equal work to THE DOCTOR'S QUESTION Advice Against the Use of Harsh Purga fives and Physics. A doctor's first question when consult ed by a patient is, "are your bowel regular?" He knows that ninety-olght bit cent, of Illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver.

At first sight It does not appear te the unthinking to be of much importance what writ Issues from the eourt. Why should we regard the writ of habeas corpus as the foundation of our liberty and the writ of injunction, when applied to la bor disputes, as tyrannical, unjust and unfair: The answer to this lies in the differ ence between the old Roman law ss exemplified in the Justinian code and the Saxou law, which is based upon the right of the individual. The Jus tinian law holds that legal processes of society are for the protection of prop erty. . . Its workings can be seen in the pres ent labor difficulties. A man comes into court with a bill against a corpo ration. If the corporation Is unable to pay the judge forthwith appoints a re ceiver, throws the management out of their positions, spends the payment of Interest on their obligations and in structs the receiver to manage the property with the sole Idea of paying the debt The old Justinian code holds that low is for the protection of prop' e rty and primarily for the protection of the creditors. The law was for the protection of the creditors, and when a judge appoints a receiver over a corpo ration he Is simply enforcing the old Justinian rule. - But whoa an employee of this same corporation finds that the earnings of the. company are taken to pay dtvi dends on watered stock, that bis wages are remorselessly cut down, that he is not allowed any voice In the manage meht and bis protests are unboeded and he goes Into court the Jude tells him that be-has no remedy lu law. The worklngman' roust therefore fall back upon the old Saxon method of trial by battle that Is, be must strike. Now, no .worklngman wants to strike. It means to bim enormous loss, some times failure, change of position, and even if he be successful lie Is looked npoa by capital as a disturber. But he is forced to do it by the action of the court in refusing to listen to any com plaint when a wrong Is done an individual. The Justinian law protects property, while the Saxon law recognizes the right of the individual to protect him self. New the corporations are en deavorlug to apply the Justinian law to strikes. They want the court to is sue injunctions against labor resorting to trial by battle on the ground that It is the duty of the court to protect property. What labor demands is that it shall be put upon the same basis with prop erty. If the management deliberately defrauds Its employees, oppresses them, the individuals ought to bare the same right of legal process that would be given them if the road owed them money. This Is plain common sense. This is the old Saxon law, and this Is the reason why there is such violent opposition to government by. injunction. It is an effort to put the dollar above the man, and in the end It reduces the worker to a condi tion of slavery. When we neglect this plain and sensible principle we strike at the very foundation of good govern ment. For the effort of organised society must be in the last analysis the ele vation of the common man. The weakest child that plays in the gut ters of our great cities has a right to demaud pure food, pure air, pure water and the development of all the faculties the Almighty has given him, and if organized society tails to listen to his plea it will suffer the penalty. We are beginning to see that it is the duty of organized society to pro tect the individual; that when a state ceases to produce men decay sets in. The application of the Justinian code thus produces in modern society Just what it did in ancient Rome. . In put ting the dollar above the man it ex terminates the man. These are facta .that lie at the foun dation of good government. If the in dividual is forced by the construction of the law by the court to fall back upon the old Saxon trial by battle he should be allowed an opportunity to carry bis fljrht to Its logical conclusion. This will teach organi?sd society that It must listen to his complaint and give him a legal remedy. If capital has the right to appoint a receiver when the corporation violates Its obligations labor ought to have the same right. This would go far toward stopping the Issuing of Watered stock and overload ing our railroads and the corporations wilh obligations for the benefit of the privileged few. If the first earnings of the road should go toward labor and toward the protection of the public In keeping up the rolling stock the divi dends on the bogus stock would soon be so small that the stock would be worthless. It will thus be seen that government by Injunction Is not a mere question in the difference of writ, but It strikes at the very foundation of good govern ment, and ns It Is settled we shall bar a government by the people or by the cersc-rations, " Do you know of any woman who ever received any benefit from taking Lydia E.

Myjteryi ICopyrlcht, ISO?, by American Press Asso ciation. Rockland bad been a rough town, but It bad settled down into a town with out the adjective. ' One day a man without a record tame to town. Since be gave no name, as was customary in such cases, a name was given him. But this was not till It was noticed that he appeared lo be looking for some one. Then they called him "the shadower." He had no confidants, no associates. lie en tered upon no business, but seemed to have what money he needed. He was continually walking about, always with a revolver at each hip, and it was no ticed that he usually kept an eye to ward his rear. He was a well favored man about twenty-eight, and what few. young women there were in Rockland adored blm. Perhaps it was the mystery there was about him, though he never took nny notice of them. One of the girls, Eunice Parks, bet she could make him smile, but she lost the bet. Neverthe less she succeeded in at least estab lishing an acquaintance. They were seen occasionally walking together and usually in earnest conversation. Eu nice was a good deal of a hoyden, Just the girl to make such a bet, but from the time she fell in with the shadower she began to get sober, and it wasn't long before she was going about ap parently with Just such a load on her shoulders as the stranger seemed to be carrying. ; Her intimate friends questioned her about the mysterious man who never smiled and who seemed to have drawn her under the spell by which he was influenced. They got nothing out of her, and by and by her parents, per ceiving that there was something wrong with her, made every effort to induce her to give them her confidence. They succeeded no better than her companions, who were her companions no longer, for, like the stranger, she was without associates, without con fidants. When she was asked if he had confided in her nhe answered "No," but hesitatingly, as much as to say that she was in a measure at least in the dark. Was he influencing her without telling his story, or had he no story to tell? Wherever there is a mystery there are a thousand explanations, and of the mystery of the shadower now extended to Eunice Parks no two explanations were alike. After Eunice was drawn into the vortex the parents of those who had been her friends feared that their daughters might be contaminated as people catch diseases from, one an other. Cut If this contributed to the separation between her and her for mer associates It was but a slight part, for Eunice dropped them before any of them dropped her. As time went on the shadower grew more cautious in bis motions, as if the altercation he seemed. tobe expecting might be more" Imminent. , "He" was seen on one occasion while walking through the town to turn suddenly, clapping bis band to bis right hip. It was noticed that when coming to a corner before advancing to cross a street he would hastily glance to the right and left as people in crowded cities do to avoid swift moving vehi cles:. . One afternoon the shadower was seen walking rapidly toward a wood on -the outskirts of the town. A boy who saw him said be was talking to himself. Suddenly from the wood sev eral shots rang out. There was no doubt about this, for they were beard by four different people who noUced them particularly, there having been no shooting in the town or vicinity for a long while. They differed, however, in the number ef the shots. Two of these persons were chatting together when the shots were fired. They were talking about the stranger, who had hurried past them a few min utes before. They went to the wood, and there lay the shadower with a bal let in bis temple. One chamber of bis revolver had been emptied, aiid after searching a ball was found in the trunk of a tree near by. The body of the shadower, who now seemed to have been really the shad owed, was examined and the clothing; searched carefully for evidence of his identity. On the body a number of scars were found, and the clothing; was bare of any evidence whatever. Search was made for the man who had killed him, but he was not found. The ground was examined for his tracks, but it was not of a character to receive impressions, being coarse and covered with dead leaves. Some were surprised that the bullet found in the tree was of the same caliber as those of the stranger's weapons, both being 45 caliber. But in that country everybody carried a 45 caliber re volver. , People were divided between sever, al opinions. There were those whd maintained, ' as appearance indicated, that the stranger had been killed by an enemy. There were those who be lieved the man had committed some crime and feared retribution till he imagined he was followed and had eventually killed himself. A third class believed that punishment had been visited upon him by the ghost of some one he had wronged. . . Of course every effort was made to Induce Eunice Parks to tell what she knew if, indeed, she knew anything. She did not admit that she knew any thing and would tell nothing. She was much affected by the stranger's death and would not look at his body after death. It was bnried where It fell and a stone put up bearing only two words, "The Unknown." Eunice Parks pined away and died. ANDREW C. EWINO. Artificial Butter.
