INDUSTRIAL GAINS NOW.
That there was a gradual revival
of industrial prosperity during the
last few months of 1908, Is indicated
by the New Tork labor bulletin,
which was issued yesterday. The
quarterly report of the State Depart
ment of Labor says: "Returns from
193 of the prclnlpal trade unions in
th state representing about one
quarter of the state's total union
membership shows that the excessive
nnamnlovment which prevailed In
1908 as a result of the financal panic
of October 190T was steadily declln
' lnr In amount after March up to the

Industries sent up the proportion of
Idleness in about the usual amount
At the close of the year the per cent
of unemployed was about five points
below that at th end of 190T, but
till nearly twice as great aa at th
close of 1908.
"Th statistics of strikes and lock
outs collected by the bureau of med
iation and arbitration show that In
th fourth quarter of 1901 there was
less disturbance from labor disputes
than la th same ouarter of 1908 or
1907, but about the same amount as
In 190S. The figures for 1908 are

WHERE THEJT ARE GALLANT. ,
They are telling this story at Don
iphan: The assessor lately appeared
at Doniphan. Boyd Klch, who was
married last fall, had never bees as
sessed, and Herman Koch, the young
man's father, "put up a Job" on him.
When the assessor called on Boyd,
he told him that wives were being as
sessed this- year. "How much do
husband usually value their wives?"
Boyd asked. "From eight to sixteen
hundred dollars," (he assessor re
plied. "Well," said Boyd, "put
mine down at sixteen hundred dol
lars, and If anytone returns a higher
valuation, let me know; I want to
raise mine." The young man ap
preciates hi wife, all right. Troy
