Pig and Point.
'American shooting men are much
. exercised over a story that a sporting
farmer named Knittel, who lives near
Brounsburg, St. Louis, has succeeded
in teaching a pig to point game, and
shoots over it. Our American friends
j have evidently forgotten the famous
"pig pointer" which was trained to
stand winged game and rabbits by the
brothers Toomer, royal keepers in
the New Forest. This "pig pointer"
was a black sow whose intelligence
and nose responded to a fortnight's

The Fourteen Errors of Life.
The fourteen mistakes of life,
Judge Rentoul told the Bartholomew
club, are:
To expect to set up our own standard
of right and wrong and expect
? everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure the enjoyment
of others by own own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for judgment and experience
in youth.
To look for judgment aud experience
in youth.
To endeavor to mold all disposii
ttons alike.
Not to yield to unimportant trifles.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others
about what can not be remedied.
Not to alleviate if we can all that
Jbeds alleviation.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we can not ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
To live as if the moment, the
time, the day were so important that
it would live forever.
To estimate people by some outside
quality, for it is that within
which makes the man.?London

THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.
As everyone knows, C. W. Post, of
Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individualist, who believes
that the trades-unions are a menace
to the liberty of the country.
Believing this, and being a "natural-born"
scrapper for the right, as
he sees it, Post, for several years past,
has been engaged in a ceaseless warfare
against "the Labor Trust." as
he likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
iintfommolori ovnr<it:s1f?n of his ODin
ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers
he has bought advertising space for
this purpose, just as he is accustomed
to for the telling of his Postum
"story," and he has thus spent hundreds
of thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
As a result of Post's activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they
obstruct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output,
hold up manufacturers, graft upon
their own membership, and rob the
public. Naturally Post is hated by
the trades-unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he de
nes cneir eiioris ai ooyconuif; ms jjjuducts.
The latest means of "getting"
Post Is the widespread publication of
the story that a ear which was recently
wrecked in transmission was
found to be loaded with empty peanut
shells, which were being shipped
from the South to Post's establishment
at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated
with President John Fitzgerald, of
the Chicago Federation of Labor,
who, it is said, stated it publicly, as
truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitzgerald
the lie direct. He denounces
Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate
falsehood, and underhanded and
cowardly attempt to injure his business,
having not the slightest basis in
fact. As such an effort it must be
regarded. It is significant that this
statement about "the peanut shells"
Is being given wide newspaper publicity.
In the "patent inside" of an
Eastern country paper 1 find it, and
tinfiinqlUr Vr> InKnr
me HUt'IUUtc nacui tin; is luui luuui unionites
are insidiously spreading
this lie.
An institution (or a man) which
will resort to moral intimidation and
to physical force, that will destroy
machinery and burn buildings, that
will maim and kill if necessary to effects
its ends, naturally would not
hesitate to spread falsehood for the
same purposes.
We admire Post. Whi!o we have
no enmity toward labor unions, so
long as they are conducted in an honest,
"live-and-let-live" kind of a way.
we have had enough of the tarred
end of the stick to sympathize thoroughly
with what he is trying to do.
He deserves support. A man like
Post can not be killed, even with lies.
They are a boomerang every time.
Again we knoxc, for hasn't this weapon,
every weapon that could be
thought of, been used (and not simply
by labor unions) to put us out of
business, too?

Postum every morning from this time

Invalid, Yet a
These are days in which even invalid
women take pride in earning
i their own pocket money and sometimes
even their own living. One
I young woman in the western part of
j New York State who is so lame as
tile result of an accident that she cannot
even walk or even move out of
her chair without assistance earns
si\ dollars a week by teaching a class
of little girls to sew and mend, says
the New York Sun.
"I just had to do something," she
explained to the reporter. "While I
am very fond of reading and am fitted
to teach school, after my accident I
j had to give up that ambition. I was
I aiso zona or dancing auu uucu uocu
to say that if I couldn't get a position
in the public schools I would teach a
dancing class. Maybe this idea of
teaching led me to think of a sewing
| class.
"After I was well enough to sit up
and began to feel strong again I consulted
mother on the .subject, and as
she didn't object T sent out little cards
inviting twenty little girls of my acj
quaintance to spend the following
Saturday afternoon with me. It was
I the last week.- in November that I
wanted them to help me dress twenty-one
dolls that I intended presenting
to a mission Sunday school for its
Christmas tree.
"There may have been one or two
who didn't like the idea of spending
the afternoon sewing, but if so they
were soon won over by the enthusiasm
of the majority. I had all the
garments cut out with a threaded
j needle stuck in each set, and each
set with the do!i which was to wear
it lying peacefully beneath the pile.
I planned the party to last two hours
I and at the end of that time our one
1 maid of all work appeared at the
1 door with a large covered tray,
j "Of course this was another cause
i for excitement. The tray was placed
! o toMo of m v alhnnr finrl TV h r> r> T
j removed the cover there were tea
! cakes and little cups of custard with
-1 a spoonful of whipped cream for each
J little seamstress.
"While they were all delighted and
scraped their cups pretty clean I noticed
that the majority were anxious
to finish that they might get hack to
work on their doll clothes. Knowing
that they would be more interested
in making the doll's dress than its
undergarments, I had stated at first
that the dress was to be left for the
last.
"If j'ou could have seen those little
fingers fly trying to finish the undergarments
in time at least to begin
the dress that afternoon! That was
quite impossible, however, even with
the larger girls who had had some
experience with the needle, and when
time came for them to go, instead of
my having to urge them to return the
next week to finish the sewing they
all begged to be allowed to come.
"Many of them wanted to come
Monday after school, but I insisted
that they wait until Saturday. At
least half an hour before the appointed
time they were all seated in
my sitting room working for dear
life. That day all the dresses were
begun, but none of them was finished.
un uie uura oamraay au tne ciresses
were finished.
"Those who got through first
turned in and helped the little tots,
who of course had less experience.
Each garment had been inspected by
me, and on many of them I had done
considerable of the wort, but when
one remembers that the youngest of
i my guests were less than five it would
I be only natural for me to give them
some help to keep them from becom[
ing discouraged.
"When the last doll was dressed
' and packed away ready to be sent to
I the Sunday-school several of the largI
er girls asked me if I wasn't going
| to get more to dress. You should
] have seen the anxiety with which my
j answer was awaited.
; "That was the moment I had been
j expecting and hoping for. Very carei
fully I explained that while I would
j not have any more dolls to dress for
I the mission school I had determined
I to open a sewing class to begin the
I first Saturday after the new year. I
went into my plans, explaining my
I charges for the course of sewing ahd
mending, and wnat i expected my pupils
to accomplish.
"Every one of the twenty was eager
?o have her name enrolled at once,
but I explained that they must first
consult their mothers. You know
how impatient children are once they
get a notion in their heads. That
night we had a stream of visitors, the
parents coming to ask about my sewing
class.
"Following the suggestion of my
mother 1 made my age limit from six
to ten. and had it distinctly underj
stood that each child was to be furi
nished with her own sewing box and
materials. 1 began with twelve and
now 1 have thirty. While I have had
offers of twice as many, 1 feel that it

my strength.
"I begin with threading the needle
and taking the simplest stitches. My
most advanced pupils, those who have
been coming to me now for nearly
three years, make many of their own
garments. One little girl, who is
now nine, has just finished a full set
of clothes for her babybrother. While
they are far from perfect, they are
much better made and fitted than the
work done by the average cheap sewing
woman, and a dozen times better
than those to be had in our stores.
it is IAVII at^uj uIU IIIJ
experience, to start a child on a useless
bit of cloth just for the purpose
of teaching her the stitches. Even
my youngest pupils begiu on some
garments for their dolls. The fact
that it is a garment holds their attention,
and makes them eager to finish
it and put it on the doll.
"From dolls the natural step is to
makes garments for themselves or
some member of their household. As
a rule they all make some one or two
articles for their mothers before they
, finish their first course of lessons.
"One feature that has proved both
interesting and instructive was an
exhibit which I held last season of
the work of my classes. It comprised
not only the work tbey were then do
i Wage-Earner. I'
ing, but samples from the very begln:
ning.
"It was very funny to see the scorn yc
with which some of them regarded
their first attempts. It was also
amusing to see the satisfaction of the s,
beginners when they saw that, the 0
first work of the older girls, whom
i they now look upon as being prize
winners, was no better than their jy
own. y,
"Now coming to my sewing class q
has become a matter of course in the
families of my patrons. As fast as
their daughters reach the necessary l

their sewing-boxes and bundles of p
cloth under their arms. t(
"People laugh and say they have to
i thank me for having made sewing
fashionable, but do you know I think r(
the trouble with most girls who grow n
up not liking to sew is that they have 0
had no proper teaching. Hand sew- jt
ing is no more drudgery than em- ?!i
broidery, so why should it be so considered?
"I have had so many applications tl
from the parents of some of my older ]j
pupils that I now am considering tak- o
ing them again next year for the pur- i
pose of giving them a course in fine n
needlework. When they finish that
course I think they will be able to
make their own French underwear
and shirt waists. ri
"There is another feature to my n
work besides the money and what the a:
children gain. It is what I have ,:1
gained. n
"I am sure had I given up after
my accident and allowed my mind to
dwell on what I had planned to do fj
with my life I should now me a most q
miserable woman, to say nothing of n
the discomfort of those who are 0i
forced to live with me. As small as w
