Pennywise Peter.
Dr. Britton D. Evans, the brilliant
alienist, said at a recent dinner In
New York:
“Then there is the cunning lunatic,
of whom there used to exist a good
example at Bridgetown.
~~ “There was a half-witted youth In
Bridgetown to whom the neighboring
farmers liked to offer a penny and a
nickel.
"Gathered about him in a circle on
market day the farmers, one after
another, would say:
“ ‘Now, wbieh'll y r er have, Peter?
Here’s a cent —here’s a nickel—take
yer choice.’
“And fool Peter would invariably
choose the cent rather than the
nickel, and the farmers before such
incredulous foolishness would roar
with laughter, double la. two and slap
their legs noisily with their brown
“ ‘Peter?’ 1 said one day to the
lunatic, ‘why is it that you always
take the cent instead of the nickel?’
“Peter grinned a very cunning
grin.
“ ‘Suppose I took the nickel,’ said
he, ‘would I ever get a chance to take
another one?’ ” —Washington Post.

Don’t Weep At
The Ice House.
Some people swell up on “emotion”
brewed from absolute untruth.
It’s an old trick of the leaders of
the Labor Trust to twist facts and
make the “sympathetic ones” “weep
at the ice house.” (That’s part of
the tale further on.)
Gompers et al. sneer at, spit upon
and defy our courts, seeking sympa
thy by falsely telling the people the
courts were trying to deprive them of
free speech and free press.
Men can speak freely and print
opinions freely In this country and no
court will object, but they cannot, be
allowed to print matter as part of a
criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin
other citizens.
Gompers and his trust associates
started out to ruin the Bucks Stove
Co., drive its hundreds of workmen
out of work and destroy the value of
the plant without regard to the fact
that hard earned money of men who
worked had been Invested there.
The conspirators were told by the
courts to stop these vicious “trust”
methods (efforts to break the firm
that won’t come under trust rule),
but instead of stopping they “dare”
the courts to punish them and de
mand new laws to protect them in
such destructive and tyrannous acts
as they may desire to do. • * *
The reason Gompers and his band
persisted in trying to ruin the Bucks
Stove Works was because the stove
company insisted on the right to keep
some old employes at work when “de
union” ordered them discharged and
some of ”de gang” put in.
Now let us reverse the conditions
and have a look.
Suppose the company had ordered
the union to dismiss certain men from
their union and, the demand being re
fused, should institute a boycott
against that union, publish its name
in an “unfair iist,” instruct other
manufacturers all over the United
States not to buy the labor of that
union, have committees call at stores
and threaten to boycott if the mer
chants sold anything made to that
union. Picket the factories where
members work and slug them on the
way home, blow up their houses and
wreck the works, and even murder a
few members of the boycotted union
to teach them they must obey the or
ders of “organized Capital?”
It would certainly be fair for the
company to do these things if lawful
for the Labor Trust to do them.
In such a case, under our laws the
boycotted union could apply to our j
courts and the courts would order the |
company to cease boycotting and try- I
ing to ruin these union men. Sup- !
pose thereupon the company should j
sneer at the court and in open de- 1
fiance continue the unlawful acts in j
a persistent, carefully laid out plan, |
purposely intended to ruin the union
and force its members Into poverty.
What a howl would go up from the
union demanding that the courts pro
tect them and punish their law-break
ing oppressors. Then they would
praise the courts and go on earning a I
living protected from ruin and happy i
in the knowledge that the people’s I
courts could defend them.
How could any of us receive pro
tection from law-breakers unless the
courts have power to, and do punish
such men.
The court is placed in position
where it must do one tiling or the \
other—punish men who persist in de
fying its peace orders or go out of
service, let anarchy reign and the
more powerful destroy the weaker.
Peaceable citizens sustain the
courts as their defenders, whereas
thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks of |
all kinds and violent members of la
bor unions, hate them and threaten
violence if their members are pun
ished for breaking the law. They
want the courts to let them go free
and at the same time demand punish
ment for other men “outside de
union” when they break the law.
* * * Notice the above reference
is to “violent” members of labor
unions. The great majority of the
“unheard” union men are peaceable, I
upright citizens. The - • '-'ont i

ventions and thus carry out the lead
ers’ schemes, frequently abhorrent to
the rank and file; so It was at the late
Toronto convention.
The paid delegates would applaud
and “resolute” as Gompers wanted,
but now and then some of the real
workingmen insist on being heard,
sometimes at the risk of their lives.
Delegate Egan Is reported to have
said at the Toronto convention:
■ “If the officers of the federation
would only adhere to the law we
would think a lot more of them.”
The Grand Council of the Provin
cial Workingmen's Ass’n of Canada i
has declared in favor of severing all i
connection with unions in the U. S.,
saying “any union having its seat of ;
Gov’t in America, and pretending to
be international in its scope, must
fight industrial battles according to
American methods. Said methods
have consequences which are abhor
rent to the law-abiding people of Can- i
ada involving hunger, misery, riot, i
bloodshed and murder, all of which :
might be termed a result of the prac
tical war now in progress in our fair i
province and directed by foreign emis- ;

That is an honest Canadian view of i

the delegates off their feet, and result
in his re-election.
“That his long leadership and this
apparent impossibility to fill his place
has gone to his head, and made him
imagine that he is much greater a
man than he really is, is undoubtedly
the case, and accounts for the tactics
he has adopted in dealing with ques
tions before Congress, where he has
unnecessarily antagonized men to
whom organized labor must look for
recognition of their demands, and
where labor measures are often op
posed on account of this very antag
onism, which would otherwise receive
support.
“There is no doubt but what or
ganized labor in tills country would
be much stronger with a leader who
was more in touch with conditions as
they actually exist, and who would
bring to the front the new policies
which organized labor must adopt if
it expects to even maintain its present
standing, to say nothing of making
future progress.”
We quote portions of another arti
cle, a reprint, from the same labor
paper:
“Organized labor, through its lead
ers, must recognize the mistakes of
the past if they expect to perpetuate
their organizations or to develop the
movement which they head. No
movement, no organization, no nation 1
can develop beyond the intellects
which guide these organizations, and
if the leaders are dominated by a sel
fish motive the organization will be
come tinged with a spirit of selfish
ness, which has never appealed to
mankind in any walk of life at any
time since history began.
“It can be said in extenuation of i
certain leaders of organized labor that
the precarious position which they oc- |
cupy as leaders has had a tendency to
cause them to lose sight of the object
behind the organization. The natural
instinct in man for power and posi
tion is in no small measure responsi
ble for the mistakes of the leaders,
not necessarily in labor unions alone,
but in every branch of society. This
desire for power and leadership and
personal aggrandizement causes men !
who have been earnest and sincere in !
their efforts in the start to deterior
ate into mere politicians whose every
act and utterance Is tinged witli the
desire to eater to the baser passions
of the working majority in the socie
ties or organizations and this is un- I
doubtedly true when applied to the j
present leaders of the Federation. |
We mention the Federation of Labor j
particularly in this article because
that organization is the only organi
zation of labor which has yet found j
itself in direct opposition to the laws j
of the land. There are other organi
zations of labor whose leaders have
made mistakes, but they have always |
kept themselves and their organiza*- •
tions within the bounds of the law |
and respected the rights of every j
other man in considering the rights i
of themselves and their constituency; j
whereas, the motto of the Federation
is just the reverse, and unless the i
leaders conform themselves and their ;
organization in accordance with the ;
laws of the land, the leaders and the ;
organization itself must be disiute- i
grated and pass into history, for In i
America the common sense in man- '
kind is developed to a greater extent I
than in any other nation on the earth, I
and the people, who are tHe court of
last resort in this country, will never
allow any system to develop in this ;
country which does not meet with the ;
approval of the majority of the citi- I
zens of tlie country.
“This must have forced Itself upon :
the leaders of Hie Federation by this
time. If it has not, the leaders must !
be eliminated. The organization
which they head has done many racri- I
torious things in times past and the 1
people are always ready and willing j
to acknowledge the benefits which i
their efforts have brought to their ■

Let the people remember that com
ment, ‘‘The Federation of Labor in
particular stands before the bar of

I of selfishness and a disposition to rule j
all the people of the country in the
interest of the few.”
The great 80 per cent, of Ameri
cans do not take kindly to the acts of
tyranny by these trust leaders openly
demanding that all people bow down
I to the rules of the Labor Trust, and ;
!we are treated to the humiliating 1
spectacle of our Congress and even ;

convicted law-breakers and listening j
with consideration to their insolent j
demands .tliat the very laws bs !

The sturdy workers of America
have come to know the truth about j
these “martyrs sacrificing themselves
in the noble cause of labor,” but it's
j only the hysterica! ones who swell up

“Yas’m, yas'm, yo’ shore has a de

Don't get maudlin about law-break
ers who must be punished if the very
existence of our people is to be main- I
tained.
If you have any surplus sympathy
it can be extended to the honest work
ers who continue to earn food when

thoroughly done. Take care to keep \
i the grains whole. And the grated j
rind of one lemon and the juice of j
two and two scant cups of sugar. Set j

A NEW SOUTHERN DISH.
At least new to some Northerners,
j although many people of the South
I are familiar with it:
j Peel enough Irish potatoes to make
j a good quart after they have been
| cut in small pieces or in the form of
| dice; after removing the seeds from
| two green peppers, wash them well
I and cut into rings: put these and the
| diced potatoes into a stew pan and
| cover with boiling water. After cook
| ing- for eighteen minutes pour off the
vaiSr and sprinkle with flour, salt
and pepper. Turn into a baking dish,
cover with cream or milk, dot with
butter and cook in a hot oven until
nicely browned.—Washington Her
ald.
I CROQUETTES OF ODDS AND ENDS.
These are made of any scraps or !
bits of good food that happen to he |
left from ore or more meals, and in j
such small quantities that they can
not be warmed up repeatedly. As for
example a couple of spoonfuls of
| frizzled beef and cream, the lean
i meat of one mutton chop, one spoon
! ful of minced beef, two cold hard
; boiled eggs, a little cold chopped po
| tato, a little mashed potato, a chicken
j leg, all the gristle and hard outside :
j taken off. These things well chopped
I and seasoned mixed with one raw egg,
' a little flour and butter and boiling
| water, then mads into round cakes,
j thick like fishballs and browned well
with butter in a frying pan or on a
griddle.—Boston Post.
BEST PANNED CHICKENS.
I A famous entertainer whose de
licious panned chicken is noted among
her friends has consented to give the
secret of the peculiar flavor that no
other cook seems to get.
“I have never found broiled ;
chicken- satisfactory. It was cither
raw or burned to a crisp, and most of ,
my cooks get in too dry and tasteless, |
“Just by luck I hit upon the plan |
of cooking the chickens in the
steamer, basting with plenty of but
ter and a little water until they are
almost done.
“Five minutes before they are to j
| be served I remove the steamer from 1
j oven, take off top, and put the pan on
j the bottom of gas stove exposed to
the flame of broiler.
“This gives that crisp brownness
that can only be found in a broiled
chicken, yet the meat is tender and
juicy. Care must be taken not to put
the chickens too close to the flame,
and to watch carefully, as the meat
at this stage easily burns.
“To make dressing remove chick
ens to platter, put a tablespoon or
more of flour in the grease left in the
steamer, and stir smooth oft - the fire.
Return to stove, let it brown a bit,
then stir in enough cold milk or
j cream to make a smooth, thick gravy.
Let it boil up once or twice. Season
highly with black and cayenne pep
per.”—New York Times.
j Black walnut pieces look well up
holstered in figured hair cloth, espe

j For a delicious fudge add chopped
! raisins and nuts to the syrup just be
fore beginning to stir it and then beat i
until it stiffens.
Salt thrown in the oven immedi
ately after anything has been burned i
j in it will make the objectionable odor ;
| less disagreeable.
| A vanilla bean kept in the sugar
box will impart a delicious flavor to
the sugar. This is a bit of advice j
from a French chef.
When running dates, figs or rais- j
i ins through the food chopper add a ,
few drops of lemon juice. It will do
much toward preventing the fruit !
from clogging the chopper.
A delicious salad is made from
canned cherries and pecan nuts tossed
up with a well mixed French dress

hearts it is as pretty as it is tasty. j

Not Wholly to Blame.
“I am a great believer in telepa

begin to think very steadily about the
payments due on my piano, here
comes the piano man peremptorily de
manding one or two or so. Every
time.”
“You begin to think about them
1 when they are long past due,” said he
“That's it. Isn't it? Natural enough.

to hand them out something once in a

How He Got Even.
A traveling man who stutters spent
all afternoon in trying to sell a
grouchy business man a bill of goods
and was not very successful.
As the salesman was locking up
his grin the grouch was impolite
enough of observe in the presence of
his clerks: “You must find that im
pediment in your speech very incon
venient.”
‘Oh, no-o,” replied the salesman.
“Everyone has his p-peculiarity.
S-stammering is mine. What's
y-yours?”
| “I’m not aware that I have any,”
I replied the merchant.
“D-uo you stir y-your coffee with
your r’right hand?” asked the sales
man.
“Why, yes, of course,” replied the
merchant.
“W-well,” went on the salesman,
“t-that’s your p-peculiarity. Most
people use a t-teaspoon.”—Success

workin’ woman, whose nose is in the
wash tub all day, an’ it’s a wicked
shame to rob’er of ’er lorful rights.”
The clerk took down a big ledger
and silently consulted it.
“Mrs. Snugg was married again,”
he said, “and the guardians have de
cided that she is no longer entitled to
i outdoor relief; and, in any event, my
man,” he added sharply, “I should
j like to know if the matter is any
i concern of yours?”
i “Concern of mine!” the man re

and we tried almost everything, but
tha eczema seemed to spread. It
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
“Flnaily I got Cuticura Scap, Cuti

gave them according to directions. I
used them in tho morning and that
evening, before I put ray boy to bad,
I used them again and the improve

Overeating Again To Blame.
Excessive eating is one of our
I hadi<t and most needful scape
i goata. Almost every sin and trouble
j of 13“ human raco is attributable to
i it. We grow fat because we eat
tea much. We die young because
we ett too much. Rheumatism and
all other ills o* the flesh come from
excessive indulgence in food. We
are aot sure but that' earthquakes
and volcanoes result from this com
mon human vice. For could not a
plausible thesis be maintained that
the excessive eating of the Inhabi
tants of one part of tho earth so
alters the pressure upon its crust
as to cause cracks and adjustments
along its weakest lines?
It is not surprising, therefore,
I that aii explanation which explains
so much should also explain the pres
ent high cost of living, and accord
ingly a scientist in the Department
of Agriculture has offered this so
lution of the present economic dif
ficulty. All the nation has to do is
to diet for the high cost of living,
j Det it eat less and grow rich. There
I is only one discomfort involved in
| this interesting and timely discovery,
j The whole dlotarian controversy will
