CHILD LABOR. Posing as men of refinement, christian, gentlemen and arbiters of the finances of our national business, are a clique of wealthy men In New York, who, if the real truth be known, are little better than first cousins to his satanic majesty. These men are the owners of those great corporations that, in order to obtain cheap labor, are employing hundreds of thousands of children In mines, factories and sweat Bhops. When these men appear In public they are looked up to on account of what is supposed to be their superhuman millions of dollars. Instead uiey should be cursed as traitors for that is what they are. They are betraying thousands of their fellow beings' children Into a soul destroying and mind dwarfing condition in order to make the difference between what a man can command in wages and what a child can get. Dumb animals are better treated than these poor children. A farmer wouldn't think of working a colt until it was fully developed and strong enough to stand the work. A childemploying manufacturer thinks nothing of the health he is stealing from a child of barely five years. We speak of America as the home of the free and the land of equal opportunity for alL As a matter of fact it Is the home of over two millions of child slaves laboring for a miserable pittance, stunting their health and morals in the cotton factories of the south, the coal mines of Pennsylvania and the odious sweatshops of all the great cities. Unless the educated men who are fathering this system have the good sense to right the wrong they are committing, the time will come when they will pay a terrible price for their crime. These children, dwarfed, as we have said, mentally and physically, are growing up to be vicious men and women capable of the rankest kind of anarchy and terrorism. If for their own sakes and for their children they ever revolt against the pernicious system that has ground them down those who are primarily responsible -"Mil not escapt lightly. Ready Far Soaking.

HOME COMING FEATURE.

Cambridge City, Ind., July 20. The members of the Cambridge City Merchants' association in charge of the free street fair and home coming, to take place here during the week of September 10, are now busy with preparations for the event which promises to surpass anything of like nature which this little city ever had. Last year the Merchants' association gave a free street fair and it was so successful that the fair Is to be extended this year, and the home coming feature will add much to it. Fifteen hundred invitations have been sent to former residents of Cambridge, inviting them to be present during homecoming week. Already many favorable replies have been received, thus assuring the committee In charge that many will return to join in the gala festivities. A special day will be set aside for the home-cdming and a program will be prepared. The committee in charge of this feature of fair week is composed of J. L. McDaniel, E. D. Filby, Dr. II. B. Boyd, W. II. Doney and W. A Creitz The head of the Merchants' association is Dr W. It. Littell and the secretary, Chas. F. Wheeler. The organization has already done much for Cambridge and the farmers In the country surrounding. The fair is but one part of the work which the assqciatlon is doing to substantially "boom" the town. Dr. Littell and his organization have confidence in the future of Cambridge and firmly believe that the street fair, now in its second year is doing more to advertise the town and help the merchants than anything else that could be done. Only Best Attractions. Last year a carnival company "showed" at Cambridge in connection with the fair, but this year the merchants will secure their own attractions and there will be none but which is the very best and truly moral. The stock and agricultural display to be held, along with the fair is to be very extensive. A large sum of money has been contributed to a fund to be given as prizes on horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and chickens, while merchants
and others will give liberally for the
best exhibit of all sorts of products
from a glass of jelly to the best ears oi
corn. No entry rees are cnargeo.
the exhibitors and none but home
grown products can ie shown. Last
year many of the products on display
rivaled those at the state fair and it
is thought the exhibits this year will
be even better. Several cash awards will be made In connection with the home-coming. Among these prizes are the following: To the person who
left Cambridge at the tenderest age.
$2.00, $1,00; to the person who travel
ed the longest distance to return to the home-coming, $2.00, $1.00; to the person absent the longest period without returning, $2.00, $1.00, and to the most aged person returning to the homecoming $2.00, $1.00. The association feeling that crows are doing the farmers in Western Wayne county much damage, have adopted a plan for ridding the county of them, and at the present time Is paying 10 cents for every crow's head brought to any member of the association. A count is kept of the heads each farmer brings In and during the fair prizes will be awarded to those who have killed the most crows. Both sdes of Main street for four squares will be used for the fair and parts of the adjoining side streets will also be utilized. The side streets will be used especially for the display of
live stock. Booths in gay colors will be erected on either side of the streets used and during the entire gala week the business district will practically be

London. July 20. In many directions iron and steel are displacing other materials for constructive purposes. The case of girders for colliery purposes is nerhaDS one of the most typical and
striking. Some 20,000 tons of pit-
wood are sent weekly Into Cardiff alone and although pitwood costs 20s.,
and steel about 6 10s per ton. steel s
winning its way all along the line,
mainly because timber is getting
scarcer and dearer, and because steel is a more convenient' and reliable naterial. If this change became general
in the mining world, one can easily Im
agine that the demand for steel girders
would be cnourmous, seeing that the world's output of coal is now close on
to a thousand million tons.
hidden by the fair. Thursday of fair week last year it is estimated that there were 10,000 people in Cambridge. Farmers came from miles around and the crowd was apparently as large at ten o'clock at night as during the afternoon. With fair weather, and the additional attraction of the home-coming, it is thought Thursday of this year's gala week will see even more people in Cambridge.

A Secret That Wai Guarded by an East Indian Trainer. The maharajah of Jammu had atone time the distinction of possessing the finest male tiger kept In captivity anywhere in the world. Ferclval Landon in "Under the Sun" describes this beast and tells a strangely Interesting etory, which he declares is strictly true, in regard to it. . The tiger, a glorious brute of white and orange and black, with steel sinews and teeth like Sikh daggers, lay sulkily In his cage and growled. Nadaun, the attendant, spoke to the tiger, and as he did so the beast flung himself furiously against the flimsy bars. The keeper put his slender hand under his clothing and pulled out a little white bng. Same years ago the tiger had found that the little back door of his den was open. The assistant of the little menagerie returned to find him loose in the garden and fled. In half an hour Jammu's streets were as those of a dead city. No man hindered the tiger, and he glided silently down the main street of the town, a beautiful vision of orange and black striped death. lie reached the jungle and vanished. An hour later Nadaun came back to his work and heard the news. A few minutes afterward another solitary figure made its way down the still empty street. He had no weapon. He had a little white bag in his hand and was soon lost to sight In the jungle. An hour later he returned, bareheaded In the sun. At his heels, fawning and kittenish, slouched the tiger, and round its neck was loosely tied one end of Nadaun's white pugree. It was the little white bag that had done it. "Would your honors like to see the effect of this medicine?" Nadaun put his hand Into the bag and scattered a few whitish grains inside the bars. In a moment the tiger was upon them, searching out the tiniest bit of whatever it was. In fifteen seconds he was on his back, beating the air with his huge paws, like a kitten at play. Nadaun very naturally refused to allow U3 to look closely at the powder. It was his livei:hood. he said, and his secret, if our honors would pardon him. must be kept.

HUMOR IN THE FOOTNOTE. Librettist Gilbert's Joke on a Prospective Dride. In the early days of W. S. Gilbert's success, when Gilbert & Sullivan were considered by managers as the "sure winners' In the comic opera field, a young woman who wan a member of one of the "Pinafore" compnnh , wrote to Gilbert telling him of her approaching marriage with a young man of good position and family. Gilbert congratulated the young woman and expressed the hope that her future might be prosperous snd happy. Only a little more than a month passed, and another letter from the same girl reached him. In which she stated that her engagement with the young man had been broken and that she had accepted another suitor. lie replied that he had every confidence in her Judgment and again expressed his hearty wishes for her welfare. It was almost two months sfter that that Gilbert received a third letter from the same girl, who informed him that young Lord had proposed and that she had accepted him after breaking her engagement with No. 2. Gilbert's humor could no longer withstand the temptation, and ho wrote, "I desire to congratulate you on your approaching marriage with" Here he placed an asterisk and In a footnote added: "Here Insert the name of the happy man." This is probably as characteristic a piece of humor as any that appears la his "Bah Ballads' or in his works for the stage.
