The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of THE INFANT TOILERS CHILD LABOR IN THE COTTON FAC TORIES OF THE SOUTH. Twelte Hundred of Them In the Stnte of Alutmniii—-"What Irene AMIX b> Sun on Her I n ventljfntlon of Lnliur Condltloim In Southern Mill*. Miss Irene M. Ashby, the young Eng lish woman who has a reputation as a labor statistician and lecturer, says of her recent Investigation In parts of the south: "Four months ago I accepted a commission from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to agitate the subject of child labor with a view to getting the law limiting the evil through the legislature of Alabama. Although I return with the news of present defeat, I believe that my mission has helped to give an other blow to that 'slowly dying cause' of building commercial success on the ruin of little children. "There Is no question more vital to the Interests of workers throughout America at the present time than that of the employment of young children In the so called lighter factory Industries of the south. The unorganized male worker Is the first Instrument whereby the corporation keeps down wages. A corporation, being Just a machine for making money, works automatically, without respect to the present or future good of the human element In thut wealth making or of the community wherein they dwell. Still more effective as an aid In this direction Is the wom ! an, for even when organized there are reasons, social and physical, why she is a less certnin quantity than the man and therefore more easily underpaid. Deadliest of all is the child. "Wherever an Industry appears in which It Is possible for a child to work the grown people are made subsidiary and the child and young person are used at cheap rates, giving for the mo ment an enormous Incentive to the in vestment of capital, which will receive quick returns from the purchase of la bor at a low rate. The cheapening of lalxjr In one part of the market In the long run causes a cut down In wages everywhere In that particular trade. The reduced si>oiidlng power on the part of one great station of workers re colls on other trades. "Briefly, the general situation hi as follows: The manufacture of cotton goods Is recent throughout the entire south. It is almost new In Aluhuma. There are some 43 mills in the stnte, where there has been a regular boom in cotton mills during the last few years. When a city gets prosperous, the In habitants clamper for one, and in sever al places Thojr'are going up as quickly as they can be fmilt. "While In many places the mills are hailed with delight by the people, there are already inutterings that they are creating misery and wretchedness 011 the one side as quickly as they are making big dividends on the other, and some business men are actually saying that the trade of a city is injured rath er than helped by the vicinity of a mill. "The human material for the Indus try Is as raw as the cotton. Families coine In from the little isolated farms , and cabins, very poor and very prolitlc. ! A few cents seem to them a fortune. Where they come front they have sel i dom seen money, and their next year's j cotton bales are often mortgaged ahead for this year's food. Entirely Ignorant I of industrial life, they are willing to j take low wages for what sounds like I light work without consideration of the , novel demands of rent, food, tire, lights and clothes In a village or a city. "In the 25 mills of which I have sta tistics there are 6,725 operatives, about 1 400 being children under 12 years of { age. 011 the sante basis of calculation ! there are about 900 in the stnte, an cstl i mate below rather than above the actu i al number, as I only corrected the man agers' statements In cases where I was able to count personally a larger num ber than they told me. To these must j 1M added the children who come In to 1 help their elder brothers and sisters j who are not counted or paid as work | ers, although they often do a full day's j work for the fun of it. This would bring the number nearer 1,200. "No difference Is made between hours • by night or by day of the children and j grown up people. These hours are from ! 12 to 12V& 11 tbty, averaging 66 a week, with but one half hour or 40 minutes' break for meals. Mills which run at night generally work 12 hours, some times with no break at all. "One's indignation at such a wrong to childhood rises to fever heat when we learn that these 1,200 little white slaves, worse off than the negro child | in days of slavery, who, being worth j some hundreds of dollars, was allowed I to develop into a healthy animal, are sacrificed to commercial superstition , and not even to a real or fancied ne i cesslty of the industry. Huge fortunes I were made in England and the north at the beginning of the trade by the | employment of children, and it Is the | superstition that this can be done again ! which is responsible for the employ ment of these children. "Out of 11 practical superintendents to whom I talked, several being from Massachusetts or Pennsylvania, ten confessed that doing away with the la ! bor of children under 12 years of age would benefit rather than harm the in dustry' They are wasteful workers, , need niurh supervision and moreover j are spoiled as operatives for the future I by the destruction of their health. I "I saw a bay of 4 helping to unwind 1 bobbins. I asked one tiny girl, 'What i do you do when you're tired?' | "'I cry,' she answered. " 'Ami then what happens?' " 'The superintendent tells me to go ; on with my work.' " Miss Ashby told of factory children I taken Into tlje country who "didn't , know how to play." She blamed north -1 em capitalists, proprietors of southern I mills, for child labor. Couldn't Find the Corkscrew. They live pretty well out. In n hand some home, but not near enough to a lire station to be "handy In case of ac cident." As the house Is their own and their all the husband had been somewhat In terror of a blaze for some time. So he laid In a stock of hand grenades, those little glass bottles which are supposed to put out any Are that may start. One day the blaze came. The cook started it in the kitchen. Then she tied howling to her room and began to pack her trunk. The wife prides her self on lieu ability to keep her head, so tlrst she stepped to the telephone and turned in the alarm, and then she went for the hand grenades. When the Are department did arrive, the men found her standing over the sideboard rummaging through the drawers. Copious streams of water soon drowned the blaze and ruined the lower tioor, and the department left. Still she rummaged. Her husband en me, called by the phone girl. lie saw her there. "Why, my dear girl," he said, "why didn't you use the hand grenades and stop the tire as soon as It starte<l? Then the whole lower part of the house wouldn't have been soaked." "John," Bhe responded Icily, "If you I would just keep the corkscrew where I It belongs, I could use the horrid old i grenades. But It Is gone, and how was I to open them?"— Kansas City Jour nal. Tlie Grind Medicine Mnn. The ceremony of the Grand Medicine I Is an elaborate ritual, covering several days, the endless number of gods and spirits being called upon to minister to the sick man and to lengthen his life. The several degrees of the Grand Med icine teach the use of incantations, of medicines and poisons, and the require ments necessary to constitute a brave. When a young man seeks admission to the Grand Medicine lodge, he first fasts until he sees in his dream some animal, the mink, heaver, otter and Usher being most common, which he hunts and kills. The skin is then ornamented with bends or porcupine quills, and the spirit of the animal he comes tlie friend and companion of tho man. The medicine men have only a lim ited knowledge of herbs, but they are expert in dressing wounds, and the art of extracting barbed arrows from the flesh can he learned from them. In olden times—yes, to within the memory of living Ojlbwiiys—the med Iclne man at the funeral ceremony thus addressed the departed: "Hear friend, you will not feel lonely while pursuing your journey toward the setting sun. I have killed for 3*oll a Sioux, [hated enemy of the OJlbways], and 1 have scalped him. He will accompany you and provide for 3*oll, hunting your food as you need It. The scalp I have taken —use it for your moccasins."—Open Court. When Mayor Meet* Mayor. Chic characters of local fame imbued with a sense of their own importance ! are not wholly unknown In this coun | try, a fact which may account for the j familiar ring of the following story ! found in "Highways and Byways In liast Anglla:" Mayor Wakefield one day set out for j the next town with a load of hay. On j the way a truss fell from the load, and he applied to a passerby for assistance |ln replacing It. The man addressed, I Instead of rendering willing aid, drew himself up to rather more than his nor mal height and said: | "Are 3*oll aware that you are address ! Ing the mayor of Lynn?" | "Man," replied Wakefield, "that don't ! make 110 odds. I'm the mayor of Cat tle Rising. Now will you lend 11 hand?" "With pleasure," replied the mayor of Lynn. Antique Clocks. A common trick of clock makers and | repairers of years ago, when the craze ! for antique "grandfather" clocks first showed itself, was to alter tho names j and dates of the original makers 011 j such of these clocks as came to them. | This trick has made It difficult to prove i the exact ago of an old clock now, even by experts, and still more difficult to . learn the name of the real maker. Rep- I iitablc repaired do not follow the ! practice in these days, having realized i that it results in the end in injury to i tho business.—Jewelers'Circular-Week ly. I.lon* niul TlKcrn. !

Seventy-five educators applied for the position of principal of Scranton high school, recently made vacant by the death of Professor Grant. After carefully looking up the records of all applicants, the hoard of Control gave the position to Professor W. G. Joslin, of Gasthampton, Mass. For the second time within as many months James Pearson was sandbagged at Plymouth. His watch was taken and he was left for dead in the road, but is already recovering. Last year Mr. Plerson was run over by a train, but not seriously injured.
