BEFORE a commission in Now York recently testimony
was brought out showing that there are 1200,000 men
and women in New York city who are willing to work,
but who cannot obtain employment. Prom this side of
the country comes the declaration that while apparent
prosperity such as has never been experienced -in this
quarter before seems now to be the lot of all the prices
of everything being up real progress in the development
of the section is handicapped. For instance, during tho
past week a certain timber man has advertised for a crew
of 100 men, and to date not one has applied. The Pacific
& Eastern has not as 3Tct ever had all the laborers needed.
The very prosperity of the northwest accounts for this
condition. All the labor that presents itself is quickly
absorbed. Railroad construction takes laborers in great
gangs. Those who are in need of labor are forced to pay
dearly for it. The laborer, if he be of the observant and
intelligent type, discovers, moreover, that his labor, for
which many are bidding high, is a greater asset when em
ployed by himself than when placed at the disposal of
others, and he loses no time in entering upon some inde
pendent means of making a living. He frequently indeed
becomes an employer himself.
The story that the northwest has to tell in this respect
differs only slightly from the' story of the middle west.
The fact is, the whole country is looking and even clam
oring for willing, competent labor. If labor lies unem
ployed in New York city and other great centers of pop
ulation it is because it is removed from the employment
that eagerly awaits it. Very successful efforts are now
being put forth with the view of bringing together the
worker and the work. That these efforts are not always
successful is due in part to the fact that the class of labor
that is idle in the great cities is not the labor that is needed
in the west, and in part to the other fact that large num
bers of people in all great cities cling to occupations that
are declining or to trades that are chronically ovcrsupplied
with help.
The 'Work of distributing labor should be continued.
Governmental and private philanthropy can find a splen
did opening here. There is plenty of work for all; unem
ployment should be unknown in a country where there is
so much to be done and so great a reward for the doing
of it.

SHE READ HIS SECRET.
THE NEW WEST.
HI

There comes s. whisper o'er tho plain,
A hint of. now and wondrous days;
The ripple of the ripened grain
Spreads, wave-like o'er once bar
ren ways.
The broad and corrugated trail,
Where sunk the prairie craft of
old,
Tho glow has conquered, and the
quail
Now revelo In tho harvest's gold.
There floats, against the smiling sky,
That smiled upon the campflre's
glow.
The smoke of cities, and on high,
Tho clouds reflect the furnace
glow.
Old things are passing swiftly here,
Strango echoes throb and never
rest;
Ask not where vanished tho frontier,
There are no yesterday's out west.

Which Led Him to Express mn Opinion
on Married Life.
A young man from Kansas City was
talking to a young woman from the
same town whom be had met by acci
dent at a matinee in New York. The '
young woman was married. The
young man was not
"You've beard that we're to have a
new theater back home?' the woman
asked to make conversation.
"Oh, of course," the young man an
swered. "I get all the news. I get a
letter from Kansas City every day."
The woman began to laugh.
"So when you go back homo for that
vacation you're going to bo married?"
she mused.
"How did you know that?" the man
cried. "We both said we wouldn't telL
And now she's"
"You told me yourself a few seconds
ago, everything but the date," she an
swered. "You see, no matter how fond
your brother may be of you or your
uncles or aunts or your mother or fa
ther, none of these would send yon a
letter every day. There's only one
person who writes a letter every day,
and that's a girl who's engaged to bo
married. For the rest of my sentence
I added two and two."
"You're right," the man mused.
"Say, a married man must have to
play close to the bases. It must bo
like living with a mind reader." Bos

compound of "carry" and "all," but a
slight distortion of the French "carri
ole," a diminutive car. The cbango
was made in obedience to the uni
versal tendency to assimilate the un
known to the known, to make words
mean something by associating them
with others which they resemble U
sound. Often there Is no etymological
relation between the words associated,
as when sparrowgrass Is made out of
asparagus. This particular corruption
was onco in such good colloquial use
that Walker, the lexicographer, wrote,
"Sparrowgrass is so general that as
paragus bas an air of stiffness and
pedantry."
A Model.
"Oh, no," declared tho younger one,
"my husband never goes to clubs or
any other places of amusement unless
he can take me with him."
"Dear me! What a splendid man!
How long have you been married?"
"It'll be seven weeks next Tuesday."

doctor, peering at her from under bis

he may not. I can't encourage you yet
