A FEAST THAT FAILED.
The Story of a Raccoon That Wai

It 1 ? within the memory of many
7ople that the custom of schoolteach

thing in country districts. Although
a custom which teachers sdUoui likia.
it is doubtful if many-'of ilum had as

was to receive $15 a month and his
board.
From the first day I perceived that
I was at board on speculation and at

writes. One day the whole dinner con
sisted of a single dumpling , which
they called a pudding , and five sau
sages , which in cooking shrunk to the
size of pipestems. There were five of
us at table.
A few days afterward , on my return
from school , my eyes were delighted
by the sight of an animal I had never
seen before. It was a raccoon , which
the young man. Jonathan , had killed
and brought home in triumph. When
skinned , he seemed to be one entire
mass of fat and of a most delicate
whiteness. I was overjoyed and went

I was soon ready for breakfast , and
when seated at table I observed that
the place of Jonathan was vacant.
"Where Is Jonathan ? " I asked.
"Gone to market , " said they.
"Market ! What market pray ? I
did not know there was any market
in these parts. "
"Oh. yes , " they said , "he is gone to
, about thirty miles to the south
ward of us. "
"And what has called him up so
early to go to market ? "
"He is gone , " said they , "to sell Tiia

INCENTIVE TO EFFORT.
fho Le * on Lincoln' * Life Tcnckc * to
the Idle Born.
It Is human nature to take it easy
when we can , and with most people u
big bank account will paralyze effort
and destroy ambition. Who can tell
what would have been the effect on
our national history had Abraham Lin
coln been born in luxury , surrounded
with great libraries , free to the multi
form advantages o schools , colleges
and universities , the manifold oppor-
ttonitics for culture that we. Jj be
stows ? Who shall say whether the ab-
senc * of all incentive to effort might
not have smothered such a genius ?
What wealthy , city bred youth of to
day , glutted with opportunities for ac
quiring knowledge , can feel that hun
ger for books , that thirst for knowledge
that spurred Lincoln to scour the wil
derness for many miles to borrow the
coveted "Life of Washington" which
he had heard that some one in the
neighborhood owned ?
What young lawyer of our day goes
to a law school or library with such a
keen appetite , with such a yearning for
legal knowledge , as this youth had
when he actually walked forty-four
miles to borrow Blackstoue's "Commen
taries ? "
Where is the student in college or
university today who experiences that
satisfaction , that sense of conquest ,
which thrilled Lincoln while lying on
the floor of his log cabin working out
arithmetical problems on a wooden
shovel by the light of a wood lire or
enthusiastically devouring the contents
of a borrowed book , as if his eyes
would never rest on its pages again ?
On reading Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech and his second inaugural ad
dress foreign readers exclaimed ,
"Whence got this man his style , seeing
he knows nothing of literature ? " Well
might they exclaim , but their aston
ishment would have been stili greater
had they known that those eloquent
utterances that thrilled tinnation's
heart had fallen from the lips of one
who in his youth had access to but
four books the Bible , "Pilgrim's Prog
ress , " Wecms' "Life of Washington"
and Burns' poems. Success.
LAY UP YOUR TREASURES.
No Han Should Spend the Whole of
His Income.
Is any one too poor to save ? is an im
portant problem which the readers oC
a London daily are at present attempt
ing to solve. The question is not by
any means a new one. It is one whicb
has troubled past generations , just as ,
in all probability , it will affect the gen
erations yet to come. We cannot say
that this latest discussion of the sul >
Ject is throwing much , if any , frcsb
light upon it.
In the first place , there is a diversity
of opinion regarding the term "poor. "
One man , who derives an income of
' $1,350 a year from private property ,
fancies he conies under the category ,
while another 'does not consider any
one poor who has an income of $300 a
year , says a writer In Leslie's Weekly.
It is manifestly impossible to fix any
limit in a matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con
ditions and surroundings of the indi
vidual. An income that would be
amply sufficient to insure a family a
comfortable home , excellent social ad
vantages and a good living in a coun
try village would mean many priva
tions and sore discomforts in any large
city.
city.On
On the whole , however , we are in
clined to believe that Max O'Rcll'a
views on the point under discussion
come nrr.rrr the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have s. en.
"I do not care. " he says , "hovsmall
the income of a man is , he should naver
spend the whole of it. especially if he
has a wife and children. II > should
at least save enough to pay every year
the premium on a good life policy. No
man is worthy of the name who docs
not do this , at Icr.st. at the price of
whatever privations he has to submit
to. Some pleasure may be derived
from high living , but certainly no hap
piness. "
Why ?
One of the wonderful things is that
a woman of fair intelligence will paint
her checks like a clown's and appear
on the streets. Why does she do it ?
Does she imagine that people think the
paint is blconi of youth ? Does she not
know that people laugh at licr ? There
are two things that people are quick
to notice when a man wears a wig
and when a woman paints her cheeks.

Knights of Labor Journal Has

Snvngrcly Attack * Trust and Blow
er * ' Organization Says Both Are
"WcrlclRK Together to Fleece the
Pulslic ac.sult of Factional Fi .Iit
In the Order.
Chving to a tight to u tinish between
the two factions of the Knights of La
bor some important disclosures as to
the evils of protection on window glass
are being made. The worst that the
"wicked Democrats" have ever charged
against the high protection on window
glass is now repeated editorially in the
Knights of Labor Journal just out.
Window glass that sold for $1.-10 per
box in July , 1S03 , sold for $4.SO in
April , 11)01. ) The trust , taking advan
tage of the tariff duties , averaging
about 100 per cent , and of the strike in
Belgium , which raised the price of for
eign glass , put up prices here since
1SU7 to exorbitant figures. The win
dow glass blowers have one of the
strongest labor organizations in this
country. The fact that every man who
blows glass must belong to it. with se
vere apprenticeship rules and the ex
treme cost of initiation for foreign
blowers , .keeps the 'number of ; blowers
much below the number required "to
man the furnaces.
High prices and exorbitant prolits
and the impossibility of manufactur
ing glass without blowers ( blowing ma
chines are just being Introduced ) have
enabled the blowers to control the sit
uation somewhat. As a result , they
have been building co-operative or in
dependent plants until nearly one-third
of our window glass is now made by
"independents. " These "independents"
have all along been in alliance with
the trust in fixing prices and in shut
ting down factories to restrict produc
tion. In fact , the blowers have often
asked the trust to put prices still high
er. The compact alliance between the'
two ends of the trust is evident from
the fact that the blowers' organisation
( L. A. 300) ) owns stock in the trust , and
its head. Simon Burns , is a director of
the trust , the American Window Glass
company.
In the split which occurred at the
annual meeting of the Knights of La-
bcr in November one faction , led by
Labor assembly oOO. elected Simon
Burns grand master workman of the
Knights of Labor and the other fac
tion elected John W. Hayes to this po
sition. Mr. Hayes has been the secre
tary-treasurer and the acting head of
the Knights of Labor as well as the
editor of their journal. It is Mr.
Hayes , therefore , who has prepared a
bill to put window glass on the free
list , which he prints in tln > Journal and
which he says will be introduced in
congress this winter , and who has writ
ten a long editorial on the iniquitous
window glass tariff , from which the
following are extracts :
"The Knighis of Labor , as an organi
zation , must uot be held responsible
for the growth of the system that has
culminated In a partnership between
one of the Hssspinblios and the window
glass trust , whk-h has resulted in cur

"Beenuse we have the cheapest ahr

continued to use antiquated
tttgr
glum. Even now only about half of
the glass made here is made in tank
furnaces. It is only in the last few
3ears that the American glass has ap
proached in quality the foreign glass.
High protection has produced the same
corrupting effects upon the labor end
as upon the manufacturers * end of the
trust The workers have been satis
fied with mediocre skill and hi h
wages for six or eight months of the.
year and only too willing to remain
idle the remaining four or six months.
"The best and most highly skilled of
the blowers are tho imported Belgians ,
but L. A. . " 00 , the labor end of the
trust , has made it next to Impossible to
recruit our skilled labor ranks from
foreigners. By its agreement with the
manufacturers only members of L. A.
300 can blow glass. A foreigner can
get into L. A. . .00 only on payment of
several hundred dollars initiation. Ow
ing to this heavy tax and to ironclad
apprenticeship rules there are only
about 2,400 blowers in this country
with which to man the , ' 1,300 or more
pots , including the tank capacity. Thus
the labor trust is able to dictate terms
to the manufacturers' trust and t
combine its so called 'independent'
factories with those of the manufac
turers and even to take stock in the
big trust' and to. , be represented in its
board of directors.
"Plainly the manufacturers and Avin-
dow glass blowers are in nn allied
trust to monopolize the-industry and to
rob the American people. They hold
up the consumer and compel him to
pay t vo price'sfpr glass. Their instru
meht of extortion is the high tariff on
window glass.
"Not only wouldthe ' consumer save
some ? 8,000,000 p.r $9,000,000 a year on
the 5,000,000 or 0,000,000 boxes of glass
importedbut the effect of free glass
upon both , the'manufacturers and
workers would be wholesome and bene
ficial. Instead of constantly dickering
with each other over wage scales , price
lists , times of shutting down and open
ing , combinations to fleece the public ,
to'unsettle dealers and builders and of
agreements.to keep the industry in u
backward state of development , free
glass , by compelling competition and
attention to. legitimate details of the
industry , would .soon result in a
healthy condition .for all concerned.
Our window glass would soon be going t
to a.11 parts of the world , as most of
our other manufactured goods are now
doing. In no industry , perhaps , are the
advantages more strongly In favor of
this as against any ether country.
"The tariff is certainly blocking the
wheels of progress in this industry.
Take it off. Give the people good glass
at 51.00 to $2 per box instead of com
pelling them to pay.$3 to 94 for poor
or ordinary glass. Stop the importation
of 500,000 to 700.000 boxes a year and
*
not only make.all our own glass , but
make glass for the whole world. If a j
few blowers get lower wages after
breaking their unholy alliance with the |
trust , which monopolizes the industry j
and locks it up from , the people , others
will get better .wages and steadier em
ployment in the.enlarged industry
which-"would soon be born. j
"The United States , by putting wiuI I
dow glass on the free list , Avould dis
solve its partnership with this greedy
monopoly of manufacturers and blow
ers , who are a1 detriment to the indus
try and a curse to the country. "
