orous statements, also said that Superintendent Mott employed all the teachers for the schools. "Not a teacher is employed without the board's knowledge and its inspection of the applicant's record," replied Mr. Strattan. Then he said, " I would like to ask Mr. VVeisbaupt some questions, Inasmuch as he takes such keen interest In our public schools do his children attend the public schools; did he ever attend the public schools, and Is it not true that he Is opposed to the public school system?" ' Mr. Weishaupt replied that he had not attended the public schools, and his children do not, but that he was in favor of the public school system. A vote was then taken.

THE GIRL QUESTION. The girl who works for you has physical senses as delicate as your own. When her hands are red, cracked and ore they pain her as much as yours would pain you. If you want to keep tier, you should make the kitchen and Its work as pleaHant as possible. Try a cake of Hewitt's Easy Task soap. It's as Rood for the dishes as it is for the linens, and won't hurt the hands. Costs fire cents and will encourage the girl more than a dollar added to her wages.

PROTECT PHONE GIRL

Missouri Making "Sassing" Hello Girl Offense.

8t Louts, June 20. Beginning today all Missouri must refrain from its oft-exercised prerogative of "sassing" the telephone girls. Should any native prefer to be 'shown" the circuit judges are empowered to delegate his presence in jail for maximum of two years. Incidentally, the law is aimed at tho rude person who so far forgets himself as to employ profanity. ' Among two hundred laws passed by the last general assembly, and effective at the same hour, Is one increasing the -speed of automobiles on the country highway to twenty-five miles an hour, nut a penitentiary sentence not to exceed two years, is provided for any joy rider, bibulous or otherwise, who so far forgets himself as to muss up the general contour of the countryside, or Is unfortunate enough to drive his machine over the anatomy of a rural denizen. Missouri caretakers of the dead henceforth are to get especial consideration from a statute which exempts undertakers from jury service. In addition a law is provided prohibiting women or girls from working moro than nine hours a day In laundries, manufactories or mercantile establishments. The price of laundry has gone up 15 to 25 per cent. As an incentive to a greater Missouri a statute provides that any minister from an adjoining state, itinerant or recognized, may perform marriage ceremonies. Two statutes are aimed at the loan shark evil.. One proTides all corporations must pay employes weekly or semi-monthly, and tho other specifically states that unearned wages can not be assigned for debt. In addition reputable mortgage loan corporation are authorized. Child labor is cared for under a law prohibiting children under sixteen working more than forty-eight hours a wek, and boys and girls under ten from selling newspapers, periodicals or magazines on the streets. There are other statutes establishing Juvenile courts, homes, etc. More safeguards for depositors in state banks also are provided.

LITERARY WORLD WATCHJSTRISOIIER Ohio Convict, J. H. Beckman Attracts Attention to His Poetry. New York, June 20. Efforts are being made by a grounp of literary men in this city to assist another prison poet whose work has attracted much favorable attention in magazines In which it has been appearing from time to time in the last year or more. In newspapers also this man's verse has been seen, and he recently appealed to the editor of a well known magazine for a criticism of his work, unbiased by sympathy for one in his predicament. The man In question, who has been writing under tho name of "J. II. Beckman," is serving a three-year sentence in the Ohio state penitentiary in Columbus. The opinion held by the editor as to the quality of the prisoner's work is best evidenced by the fact that several of his -poems have appeared in the magazine with which he is connected. As often is the case iwith writers whose lives are lived in seclusion, voluntary or otherwles Reckman's work shows a strong tendency to introspection, and it is in poems along such lines that his best work Is done. One of the prisoner's first efforts at poetry was printed in Columbus. It Is called, "Where Willows Are Drooping." This is it: Where the willows are drooping and softly swaying I saw a skiff in the dawn of the day On the murmuring brook with the sunlight playing Drifting like the leaves of the autum away . Drifting from childhood's wonderland A mother's love "was the guiding hand Where the clouds hang low, and the storms are soaring I saw a boat in the heart of the day, On the foaming river, where, whirling and roaring It winds over reefs and ridges its way A sweet heart '8 love was the guiding hand. Where the river meets with the surging billows The tide of the traceless deep, deep bay. Far from the brook with its drooping willows, I saw a raft In the dying day Tossed on the brim of Eternity's land God's infinite lore was the guiding hand. And I wondered how can we ever fall Since love sits near us wherever we sail. Thomas II. Benton Jones, warden of the penitentiary has taken great interest In the mental development of his charge, and has done much straining prison rules to enable him to follow his inclination to write. The prisoner In appreciation, has written a poem which "he calls "Amicus Humanl Generis," and It is dedicated to his keeper. It, too, was published in a Columbus newspaper.

GATES' IS A GAMBLER

Declares A. J. Carnegie Who Will Tell His Story.

Andrew Carnegie has just entertained a representatice of the World at Skibo castle. "On a glorious June afternoon," the World correspondent writes from Skibo, Scotland, "we two walked for miles over his thirty thousand-acre Highland estate. His favorite Collie pup raced along. The Iron master was clad in tweed jacket and knickerbockers, and he pointed out the places of interest, laughing like a boy with the pure joy of being again on his Scotch estate. "The lalrdi of Skibo talked freely, taking a vital Interest in all matters of current news. He was just as explosive concerning the unflattering testimony John W. Gates gave before the congressional committee as when I questioned him in London the week before. " 'I don't want to put dirty words in my mouth," said Mr. Carnegie. "This man Gates is a broken down gambler. I have nothing to do with him. "I will say this. Mr. Stanley, the chairman of the investigating committee, wanted my testimony first. I told him that I was sailing the next day with my family, and asked to be allowed to wait until autumn. This was agreed. "'When I return I will take the stand though I don't know why they want me. Merely for sensation, I presume; but when I have finished the public may then judge for themselves whether I or this man Gates has told the truth."

Planktd Him.. "I put a new man to work the othei day." said a well known contractor tt a party of his friends, "and left him in charge of the foreman. It was a class of work the man wasn't exactly used to, but 1 thought be would make out all right After Laving seen him safely started 1 visited another Job and on returning met John limping away. 'Where are you golngr I asked blm. "I got burted snd am going borne for tho rest of the d.iy he replied. 1 asked blm what happened, and here is his version of the accident: -'I pot my foot on a plants, and tbc plank wasn't there: then me and tbc plank ell down together, and tbe plank broke mo leg.

WOMAN IS UNFITTED FOR MAN'S LABORS Suffragettes Can't Stand Working in the Rain, Filing Saws, Etc. Boston, June 19. Miss Marion Hanscom took the advice of Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, a suffragette, last week and sought a job as a man's assistant. The results were disastrous. ' Miss Blackwell said in a recent lecture: . "Men and women supplement each other and usually the best results are obtained when they work together. A man and woman can co-operate better in work than two men." This reasoning sounded so good to Miss Hanscom that she tucked her apron under her arm and hied herself to the office of a big contractor. "I asked them to let me try the pile driver," explained Miss Hanscom as she told of her quest. "The superintendent said I would be in the way there and I might fall in. So finally I asked him what I could do anything at all and after thinking he allowed that I might help file a saw. "Well, you know, It hurt. The teeth of the saw kept hitting my hand and the dirt sifted in dreadfully. It began to rain and there I was out of doors and I knew my hair would get all out of place. "And you never heard such a noise! It was deafening. All the men worked right along and the man at the other end of the saw seemed to be mor bothered than helped to have me around. "So I decided I would' resign because it was perfectly evident that I wasn't helping a bit. I did, and then I went on a hunt for another job." Miss Hanscom next tried being a blacksmith, then a carpenter, then a machinist, but always, instead of helping the men do more work, as Miss Blackwell had expected, she found she delayed the work. She had no difficulty getting work, but the men spent so much time looking at her that soon she had to resign or was fired. Miss Hanscom is now seeking an office job.
