A Tribute.
Sam Edd Squires, son of Mar
gin and Eliza Squires, was born
August the 22nd, 1845, died Feb.
-the 13th, 1913. Was married
.January the 14th, 1873, to Miss
JBelle Squires. He leaves a wife,
lihree sons and sixf daughters.
One son and three daughters are
:single. ,
He professed religion at his
Ihome during a protracted meeting
Iheld in his neighborhood in June
;1907.
His health began to fail sever
al years since, and he was con
sfined to his bed from December
aintil his death. He died of a
tsomplication of diseases.
'Throughout his illness he was
apatient and gratful for every
ikindness from his devoted fam-
isiy and attentive neighbors.
'ZThe last five weeks of his life
one whom he had known from .
3iis childhood staid by him, wait
ing on him as tenderly as he
sould have waited on a father.
Mis kindness and the kindness of
ather neighbors will always be
gratefully remembered.
He had always been devoted to
his family, and when he believed
this days were numbered, he tried
tso arrange his business matters
ifor their comfort. During the
;years of his bad health his de
woted wife never left, and she
sand his children gave him every
retention. He did not fear
"death, but loving his family so
devotedly, he would have been
jglad to live for their sake. How
.yearningly his heart went out to
a his three single daughters.
In his last days he spent much
vtime in prayer. He often said
$he hoped God would give him a
warning before death came.
The night before his death with
ecstasy he exclaimed, "Glory!"
It is believed that death struck
Ihim then. In his last hours he
talked to his family with the
uitmost calmness, often though,
imingling his tears with theirs.
iHis last whispered words were;
""Let me die." There has passed
;'from earth a loving husband and
father, a kind friend one who
will be sadly missed.
TTo weary hearts, tc mourning homes,
God's meekest angel gently comes:
INo power lias he to banish pain
Or give us back our lost again,
jAnd yet in tendered love our dear
And heavenly Father sends him
here.
0, thou who moumest on thy way,
With longings for the cloae of day;
2IIe walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers, "lie resigned;"
,jBear up, bear up, the end shall tell
The dear Lord ordereth all things
well.

Wage and Vice,
The investigation conducted at
Chicago by a committee of the
Illinois senate, has been produc
tive of a great deal of testimony
to the effect that-low wages are
the principal cause cf vice in
large cities. This testimony has
been published by newspapers
throughout the country, and the
impression has been created
that higher wages would do
much to put an end to the white
slave traffic. The investigation
seems not, however, to have tak
en into consideration all the facts
in the case, some of which are
worthy of note.
The United States census
shows that wages of women in
large cities are higher than those
of women in small cities and
towns. It also shows that the
cost of living is higher in large
cities than it is in small towns.
But what seems more to the
point, this same authority pre
sents figures that conclusively
demonstrate the fact that hous
ing conditions in large cities are
more conducive to crime of all
kinds than those in smaller places
This important fact has been em
phasized by a comparison of
housing conditions in Chicago
and in Philadelphia, the former
a citv of tenements, the latter a
city of homes; the former a city
notorious for its vice, the latter,
according to the statements of
investigation, "the cleanest city
of its size in the world."
But, perhaps, the most import
ant contribution to the discussion
of the question has been made
by Miss Milholland, who, in an
article on the subject, does not
hesitate to divide responsibility
for vice between the men and
the women, and who frankly
states that so long as there is sex
attraction there will be vice, no
matter how high the wages paid.
The only way she sees to lessen
vice is by proper instruction of
children in sex hygiene, so that
as bovs and girls grow to man
hood and womanhood they will!,
better understand themselves
and their relations to each other.
Miss Milholland rightly says
that "morals cannot be created
by law." They never have been
and they never will be. Higher
wages will only lessen tempta
tion. Grit.
A Good Laundry Soap.
"Readers of The Commoner"
will find this a good laundry
soap;
Measure twelve quarts of wa
ter (soft) ; take six quarts and
put over the lire in a large soap
kettle; when it boils, add five
pounds of tallow, or any kind of
grease, even the carcklings af
ter frying out the lard; let the
grease boil a few minutes and
then gradually add one
box of
lve: while it is boiling, put four
ounces each of borax and sal so
da into a quart of the water you
have already measured; set on
i the back of the stove until both
are dissolvod. When the soap
begins to get ropy, which it will
in half an hour, add the borax
and soda solution, stir well, and
gradually stir in the five remain
ing quarts of cold water; it must
"rope" well before adding the
borax and soda. Dip out into
shallow pans, let cool and dry in
the air. Commonc r.

Lost Pin Mystery.
One of the mysteries of the
world is certainly the pin. In
astounding quantities they pour
from numerous factories, prin
cipally in Birmingham. One
mill alone is credited with turn
ing out nearly lu,uuu,uuu pins a
day, and no one has ever at
tempted the calculation of the
world's output. A pin isa thing
which, in the ordinary way,
would last for years, and it is a
problem to account for the ne
cessity for the making of such
enormous quantities.
The explanation is undoubted
ly that pins are so cheap that ev
eryone throws away or loses
them as fast as they use them.
Thousands and thousands of
"hem enter the sewers of our
towns, and solid masses are often
found where innumerable exam
ples of these tinv articles have
become welded together in their
passage through the sewers.
The output of a pin factory
includes dozens of different sizes
from the tiny pins used by nat
uralists, only a quarter of an
inch long, and as fine as a hair,
to Ciant blanket pins four inches
in length and nearly as thick as a
wire nail.
Hairpins are another example
of useful articles made to be lost;
they follow the fate of the com
mon pin, and descent in a contin
ual shower on the paths and
floors of every civilized country.
Says the Star: "One. observant
visitor calculated from careful
examination that on an ordinary
day there were over 3,000 hair
pins lying on Llandudno Pa
rade." All pins are made by
antomatic machines, which com
plete the transformation from
wire in a single operation.

Rec
Ad Hemstitching on the Machine.
Several readers have asked for
this method, and two dear good
readers have just sent these
directions in; so we pass them
along at once. Measure off the
hem wanted, tear off, double the
the strip, turn a very norrow
hem on them. Take paper, fold
sixteen thicknesses, pu- the two
edges together, and slip the
thicknesses of paper between
under the hem. Loosen the top
tension of the machine, and pro
ceed to sew as close to the edge
as you can stitch, then tear out
the paper, pull the goods apart,
and you will have the hem-
! stitching. Mrs. Hi. U.
Another: Measure the hem as
desired, draw four or five threads
or as many as desired; turn the
raw edge of the hem, and part
your hem (measure to fit the
goods to keep straight) just a
if you were working by hand.
Now fold them and goods togeth
er, set machine so it will make a
short stitch, loosening the ten
sion a very little, then sew very
close to the edge, having the
drawn threads on top, and part
your hem. Sometimes you will
have to pull the hem to get it
in place. Test on some old goods
until you know how. This will
look like hand work. Ella G.
