gic ped fron heights w under a new _
name and proclaimed himself a felon
to save another man from suffering
in his stead. President R. F. Wolfe,
of the Shoe Trust, prosperous for
years in a new life in Ohio, lays bar2
to the world, that he may thwart a
gang of blackmailing scoundrels, a
page of his early manhood which in-
cludes a brief term in prison. Two
fine exhibits of courage these, one in
fiction, one in fact. Mr. Wolfe's con-
science made no coward of him. He
expiated his offense long ago. He did
not proposc to endure an endless ex-
piation through persccution. His ex-
ample should go far among the my-
riad cases wherein blackmailers flour-
ish today. He is a winner through
his brave avowzl not only in peace of
mind and in pocket but in pub'ic con-
fidence and approval, observes the
New York World.
An illustration of what may be done
in the betterment of the conditions
for wage-earners, through the hearty
co-operation of employer and em:
ployes, and the cultivation of a spirit
of amity rather than of hostility be-
tween them, is furnished in the record
of a large shoe manufactory in Bos-
ton. This establishment has voluntar-
ily reduced the hours of work for its
2000 employes to cight. The employes
are so well pleased with the new
conditions that the outpnt is as great
as it was when the concern was work-
ing ten hours cvery day. The pay-rotl
is $1,000,000 annually, and the daly
cutput is 8000 finish~d pairs of shoes.

Misusing the Mails.
St. Louis, Mo., (Special). —The Fed-

ng, a Green county farmmer, on a charge
of using the mails to defraud.

try, and collectors. Bogus Indian relics
and various other curiosities—were pro-
duced before the jury by witnesses, wha
said Levering had told them that he dug
them out of mounds thousands of years
old, where they had been placed by In
dians. Levering’s alleged victims pur
chased large numbers of these “relics,”
paving large prices for them.
