IDLE "ARMIES" FIZZLK
A few tramps from California
are being fed and sheltered
in a barn on "General" Coxey's
country home near Masslllon. They
are all that i3 left of the rather
formidable "army" which started
from Sau Francisco, months, ;n;o.
under the lead o a man uamel {
Kelley, to make a demonstration j
at Washington in behalf of revolu
tionary schemes of government and
social and Industrial changes.
It is perfectly fair to call these
marchers in freight cars "tramps"
because they havo passed by many
opportunities to earn an honest!
living. They havo come through
grain-growing states, such as Kan
sas, where there is grant need of
men to harvest an unprecedented
wheat crop. They have dodged |
more farm work than many times
their number could do. And now 1
they have reached the place in ,
Ohio from which a smaller and still
more absurd "army" started its
so-called march to Washington,!
only to end with about a score of'
idlers who made not a ripple upon
the surface of things when they j
arrived at the capital.
These "armies" of idlers are not1
impressive when work is waiting
willing hands on thousands of I
farms. They make no impressio
upon public sentiment or public
interest because they are so need
less and so obviously futile. Ir i.~
probable that one of the services I
which 1914 will render the cour.tr
will be the final passing of such j
ibsurdlties as the Coxey and Kel
ley "armies" organized aa political
demonstrations and made to sorv
the vanity and ambition of their
leaders.—Cleveland I.eader.
The name of the Vanities skip
per is Dennis. Ilut thus far lie
hasn't proved it.
By the way, what does Sec
retary Bryan intend to do with
his "Prince of Peace" lecture thi3
summer?
People who believe the Mexi
cans are half civilized probably
would further qualify that opinion
if they visited the country.
It appears that it is just as easy
to get arrested while being borne
shoulder high on a litter as while
spellbinding on a soap box.
Men tempted to commit crime
look at the picture ot" Hairy Thaw
in his fishing costume and reflect
upon the harships of convict life.
Miss' Sylvia Pankhurst's refer
ences io sacrificing her life for the
cause must be regretfully cata
logued under the head of hope de
ferred.
As if being denied a regional
bank w < re not misfortune enough,
l'itisburg is now thoratened with
a home coming on the part of Mr.
liurry Thaw.
"Some of the nicest people we
know have never spent a night in
New York." If that is true, the
census bureau" lias failed in a very
manifest duty.
All accounts agree that Ilucrta

good, eotisiuVriug Utai only five days a
neck are worked In the laundries, the
women not bein;: required on Mondays.
As much as from 20 to 30 shillings a
week can be earned, fl being a com
mon wage, even for girls.
Consequently the women rule the In
dustrial world of Willesden. The posi
tions of man and wife are reversed.
There Is no need for the man to go to
work Not only would he be unsuita
ble for the job. but the labor and the
wages would not suit him.
Therefore a working girl, when she
has saved sultK lent money and thinks
of marrying, looks around to find an
eligible man. whom it would be her
ditty to keep 111 after life. £le must
know how to bathe, dress nnd feed a
baby; how to amuse It and wbut to do
when it has convulsions other than
rolling it on the door or slapping it on
the back. If he can do al! this the girl
proposes, is accepted (if she is strong
enough to work), and the knot Is tied.
When the children grow up they are

HIDING THE JOKER NUGGET.
An Incident cf the Early Australian
Gold Diggings.
Anions the rich finds In tbe Austra
lian cold diggings the Joker nugget
ranks among the chief. It turned the
scale nt thirty ounces und was sold for
SO'K). In size nnd shape It resembled
a em's hand, thick at the wrist part
and tapering off toward the Angers.
The claim had been a good one from
the first, and the owner did not have
to work hard. One day he was reclin
ing full length Idl.v searching for nug
gets when he caught sight of the Joker
lie at once covered it with his hand
and sat up. rather wondering how be
would secure the treasure without be
ing seen If the find became known
every man in the field would tramp to
the spot an ! Invade his claim and so
. prevent Ills working.
A man In an adjoining claim looked
up "Found anything?" he asked. "No.
Seen the color: that's nil ritch my
coat over to me, will you? It's lying
near there. I want a smoke." "Here
you are. mate. But what's the mat
ter? Vou look pale. Don't you feel
right?" "I'm all right, only tbe sun
is a bit hot."
He was struggling with an Insane
desire to Inugli. but he got bis coat
over the nugget and seated himself on
tbo top of It Then laughter overpow
ered him, and he became hysterical.
Thoseiil' int him wondered, but thought
tbe sun had affected him.
In a little while he gained his com
posure and decided to go to bis tent.
In lifting bis coat he managed to take
I up the lump of gold, and no one knew
that he had found anything. It was
not until ten days had passed that the
fact was noised abroad, nnd even then
| few knew the claiui whence the Joker
j came.
