Another young man has transgressed the same law and we suppose he is in equal danger- The Misses Bingle entertained a number of friends at their home New Year's eve. It was a leap year event and the ladies put forth their best efforts. We presume their will be some more weddings soon. Miss Ada Shoup and Mr. Lonnie Ford, both well and very favorable known in this community, were married at the brides home, last Wednesday evening, Rev.

Testerman officiating. May life's richest blessings attend them in their future. The sixth annual convention of the Kansas branch Y. P. C.

Also Elders Snider, Deever and Huffman. Many good thing were said and done, the influence of which will be felt for many months to come. We are glad these young soldiers of Christ have been with us and we pray God's choicest blessings upon them. The next meeting will be at Lawrence next December, Xenium. It 1 A', cof TRIBUNE BYJ.

IRWIN GABHU Edgar Allan Poe, whose portrait appears at the jiead of our calendar for January, was born in Boston, January 19th, 1809. lie was left an orphan when a ctild. His parents were moving theatrical people. The boy was adopted by a Mr. Allan, a Virginia planter, and- liberally educated.

Early in life he manifested literary talent and for many years was a popu lar writer for literary magazines. He -rnin hiiiiii hi rTTTTTwnwmwww I 1 RAILWAY PROFIT SHAKING. St. Joseph Her aid." Profit sharing between owners and employes in the business of transportation, or in any industrial or business enterprise, has never been attempted in this country on a greater scale than it has in the movement just inaugurated by the Illinois Central railroad. This railroad has more than 20,000 men in its employ, and it is believed that half of them will become stockholders in the company.

Over 1,500 employes have taken stock, and applicants are coming in daily by the hundreds. The company is a dividend paying, prosperous corporation, operating nearly 3,000 miles of roadway. The president, Stuyvesant has engaged to aid any employe in purchasing stock on installments. Dividends, as earned, are to be credited on the stock contracted for, and when payments and profits reach the sum at which the stock was purchased, certificates are to be issued." The terms of the arrangement are made as possible, and, doubtless, the profit will prove to be more than an experiment. The movement is opportune as a foil to the cant and fusian so liberally indulged in by that industrious phrasemaker.

Mr. Bryan' whose shibboleth, "masses and classes," was shouted throughout the length and breath of the land to create antagonism between labor and capital and arouse resentments, jealousies and suspicion to further his political aspirations. Any movement which tends to bring about an idenity of interest between the owners of great business establish men3 and those employed therein as wage-earners reduce the friction which manifests itself in strikes and lock-outs, and is alike injurious to capital and labor. Happily the relations between owners and employes in the vast majority of cases are entirely harmonious, but the sense of ownership is a great steadying force in conducting any business and, wherever practicable, profit sharing may prove to be good schooling in the responsibilities, risks and management of enterprises' as to the conduct of which many wage-earners know little or nothing beyond their. special employment.

A writer on this subject suggestively remarks that in profit sharing" the element of weakness, which has been fatal to co operations in many instances, the difficulty of finding men of sufficient ability to direct great operations "is successfully met by a limited and carefully adjusted proportionate interest ofthe workmen in the business of their employer, with jtf "la somch voice "in the management of affairs as their best interest entitles them to and no more." Under varying conditions profit sharing has been tried in this country with promising results, though not with unvarying success. It has been conducted much more extensively abroad, and it is sat 1 that there are more than a hundred firms in continental Europe in which profits are shared with employes. The record shows that the plan has been successful in a great variety of industries and enterprises banks and insurance offices, in manufacturing establishments, in the building trades and mercantile houses. The supreme test of the scheme is the fortitude exhibited by the profit sharing employes when losses occur. This is an incident of all business enterprises.

If the profit sharer is content to become a loss sharer as well, the system may survive the crucial years when business is dull and the outlook discouraging. A railroad corporation in which thousands of those employed in its activities are to share in its profits would be less likely to be harassed by strikes than roads whose employes are not so directly interested in keeping the line in operation. Profit sharing railway employes would be disposed to protect their own busincs, to prevent waste, to exact diligence from their fellow employes, to encourage the patronage of the public, to expedite the transportation of freight, and to exhibit in multiforn ways the interest which the careful owners takes in his property. Calendars and Coupons. So, many beautiful calendars and entertaining novelties have been issued by the proprietors of Hood's Sarsa-parilla, that we are hardly surprised to receive this season not only one of the very pretiest designs in calanders, but with it coupons which entitle the recipient, to attractive novelties.

Every one who gets aHood'sSarsaparii-la calendar for 1897 secures something that will prove interesting and valuable as well as a beautiful specimen of the lithographer's art. The calendar is accompanied this season by an amusing little book on "The Weather." Ask your druggist for Hood's Coupon Calendar, or send 6 cents in stamps for one to C. I.

John 11. Scott, a prominent member of the bar in Albany, N. said last evening: "A neat rejoinder was made by Judge Charles O. Daly, chief Justice of the New York Court of Common Pleas, in a case he recently tried. "The case involved a delicate question as to the construction of a statute; the judge, after long consideration, decided the question in open court, giving his reason in a few well-epoken remarks which caused a lull in the court room.

The silence was finally, broken by the attorney for the successful party to the suit, who stood up and said, with an air of patronizing approval: 'May It please your, honor, for one, entirely agree with The venerable chief Justice, with a twinkle In his eye which betokened appreciation of the Joke, but with a perfectly grave face, quietly removed "his glasses and, amid absolute silence of the spectators, said :1 counselor, generally found in my experience that the successful attorney entirely agrees with the Yv ashingtoh Times.

Miss Rose Young; of Pitcairn's Island, the author of two books telling the romantic story of that far off republic, has just arrived at San Francisco In order to eubmit to a surgical operation. She says the islanders now number 136, and they raise enough, sweet potatoes to support themselves and supply passing vessels. Thy have a hand-mill and a windmill.

They do some missionary work on the other islands and have at their service a schooner which was furnished by. the Second Adventists, to whose church they belong.

Lihscott, directors. If the government keeps on extend ing the time for the removal of the postoffice ruin, the wrecking company perhaps will come ahead of the contract and will clamor for a premium. It is to be hoped no wicked toper will view the fact that some people have died from drinking bogus whisky as conveying the moral that every one ought to drink genuine whisky. It is at this time of year that the prudent husband takes care to inform his wife that he has all the neckties and cigars for which he can possibly have any use for a year to come. Another instance of the prepronder- ance of mind over material forces is to be found in the case of the Christ mas trying to make himself believe he is having a glorious time.

'Tis nearly nineteen hundred years Since the Judean shepherds heard Teal from the solemn, starlit sky The one supreme, long-needed word, Needed as sadly now as then: "Peace and good will on earth to men." Alas! they caught no chord that hymn in Of peace on earth, good will to women. Down the stern centuries since that night The angel prophecy has thrilled, Aye echoing through the upper air, On earth it Is still unfulfilled. Men hear the song, strife does not cease; Never will come the age of peace Until the carol with new vim in Brings peace on earth, good will to women. The potentates of Christendom Preach peace to-day with gatling guns Statesmen, to spread good, "will oiTearth, Make cannon-food of mothers' Yet even In the hot battle's breath The Red Cross soothes the pangs -of death, While eyes the light of life grows dim in Pray, 'Peace on earth, good will to To man the race, not men the sex, The message from on high was sent; These weary centuries in vain Men sought, alone, the Christ's intent. New, with new-dowered inner ear, In the angelic strain we hear A swelling theme, the round world's rim In "Peace and good will to men and women Lawrence, Kansas.

CORN, 20 CENTS. So many of our subscribers, who were in arrears, have shown a disposition to take advantage of our offer published a few weeks ago, ttat we have decided to make another proposition, giving others time to do likewise. We will allow all persons in arrears on subscription, 20 cents per bushel for corn, provided they bring in enough to pay up all back subscription and one year in advance at that rate. This proposition holds good until March the first, 1897. This is a good opportunity to square up accounts without having to pay cash.

CLOSED There is a growing interest in the temperance cause. Mass meetings are reported from all parts of the state. The liquor sellers are beginning to realize that the people are becoming aroused. It is noticible that whenever any temperance agitation begins, that much of the outward evidence of illegal selling dissappears. The joint-ist and his friends quietly get it circulated that they have quit selling, and to all appearances they have.

But in some private cellar or some back room up stairs, those known to be faithful to the cause of cussedness and crime begetting are there is a large overcoat pocket, into which from some mysterious source, a bottle of whiskey, is dropped and two men walk up to each other, and that bottle just jumps out of the pocket of one man into the pocket of the in some mysterious way a quarter passes back in return. Two men meet in an alley 6f course they are strangers, and the purchaser is absolutely ignorant of the name and residence of the seller but the liquor passes for a consideration. Thus the liquor traffic goes on. When you think they are closed then they do their safest business. Only one step has been taken.

The most important work remains to be done. Be not deceived, the liquor seller is a master of strategy. The only way to effectually stop him from this business is to put him behind the bars until he has had a lesson that will la3t. They care little for a fine so long as business is good, but a cold iron cell dampens their ardor in the cause of "personal liberty." Subscribe for The Tribune. 11111111111(1 ii i BIKM1NGIIAM.
