CONTRACTOR ACCUSED OF
USING SLAVE SYSTEM
L. Nardone, boss contractor em
ployed by the Nelson Piano company
of Chicago, is accused of working the
padrone system overtime in the es
tablishment of that company. It is
charged that Nardone has appropri
ated more than $l4O of the money due
the men under him on a system of
fines, etc., established by himself
when he did the hiring of the men.
This $l4O padrone graft is said to
represent only one fortnight of Nar
done’s activities. It was almost im
possible for the firm to secure good
Italian help except through Nardone,
and he exacts his own prices for the
labor of his underlings, who do the
work by contract, according to reports
already published.
THE UNEMPLOYED
IN SWITZERLAND
- Any man who lives in Berne, wheth
er a Swiss subject or not, may now
insure against unemployment in the
municipal bureau, providing he is able
to work and not above sixty years
of age. AU that he has to do is to
apply to the oureau, either directly or
througn his employer, or his union,
for an insurance book, and fasten into
it every month an insurance stamp of
the value of 70 centimes. In return
for these 70 centimes a month he se
cures the right to a money allowance
for every day, up to sixty days, that
he is out of work during the months
of December, January and February,
provided that he'has been in work for
at least six months in the course of
the year, provided also that he has
not lost his work through laziness,
disorderly conduct, or any other fault
of his own, and that he has not re
fused work offered to him on reason
able conditions.
Railroads and labor agents in dif
ferent parts of the country are to be

THE HONEST INDIAN.
The honesty of the woods Indian —
that is. the Indian of northern Can
ada —is of a very high order. The
sense of mine and thine, says Mr.
Stewart Edward White, in the Out
look, is strongly forced by the exigen
cies of the North Woods life. A man
is always on the move. It is impossi
ble for him to transport all his goods.
The implements of winter are a bur
den in summer. The return journey
from distant shores must be provided
for by food stations. The solution of
these needs is the cache.
And the cache is not a literal term
at all. It conceals nothing. Rather
does it- hold aloft in long-legged prom
inence, for the inspection of all who
pass, what the owner has seen fit to
leave behind. A heavy platform high
enough from the ground to frustrate
the investigations of animals is all
that is required. Visual concealment
is unnecessary, because in the North
Country a cache is sacred. On It may
depend the life of a man. He who
leaves provisions must find them on
his return, for he may reach them
starving, and the length of his out-

High Quality Means Car-Load Sales
That the high standard of excellence
rigidly maintained by the manufactur
ers of “GOOD LUCK” Baking Powder
is appreciated by the wholesaler, the
retailer and consumer alike, is evi
denced by the great number of freight
trains running in every direction from
Richmond, Va., and hauling carloads
of “GOOD LUCK.” These large and
steady shipments fully demonstrate
the popular faith in this Powder.
The above shown carload was re

judgment in buying for their trade.
In every purchase made, two things
are carefully considered, namely:

Thus in parts of the wildest coun
tries of northern Canada I have un
expectedly come upon a birch canoe
hanging upside down between two
trees; or a whole bunch of snow
shoes depending beneath the fans of
a spruce; or a tangle of steel traps
thrust into the crevice of a tree root ;
or a supply of park and flour swathed
like an Egyptian mummy lying in

fectly please their customers. They
have found by long experience that
“GOOD LUCK” never fails to meet
these, and in fact, all other demands
made upon it by dealers and users.
It is a source for satisfaction for
every cook to know that she is using
the best baking powder ever made
when she uses “GOOD LUCK.” She
is the court of last appeal, and she
has decided that “GOOD LUCK” fibs
her wants. She likes it for its uni
form goodness, for the fine tempting*
lightness it imparts to all kinds of
bread and other cookies, and for its
absolute purity—which is positively
guaranteed under the Food and Drug
Act, June 30, 1906, Serial No. 13026.
Eminent chemists and physiologists
have endorsed it. It is packed only
we have passed by reverently as sym
bols of a people’s trust in its kind.
The same sort of honesty holds in
regard to smaller things. I have
never hesitated to leave in my camp
firearms, fishing-rods, utensils valua
ble from a woods point of view, even
a watch or money. Not only have I
never lost anything in that manner,
but once an Indian had followed me
some miles after the morning’s start
to restore to me a half-dozen trout
flies I had accidentally left behind.
Mr. MacDonald, of Brunswick
House, once discussed with me the
system of credits carried on by the
Hudson Bay Company with the trap-
in the Patented, Moisture-Proof, Tin-
Foil, News-Board Can, which keeps
the powder as it is made —tfresh,
strong and dry.
The Consolidated Grocery Co. finds
that it takes but little time to sell
a carload of “GOOD LUCK.” The
following gentlemen handle the prob
lems and details of their firm:
Mr. C. B. Rogers, president; Mr. W.
A. Gallaher, vice president; Mr. E. A.
Champlain, vice president; Mr. C. M.
Covington, vice president; Mr. John
Ball, secretary and treasurer; Mr.
Elmo Thames, assistant secretary and
treasurer; Mr. W. D. Gallaher, assist
ant secretary and treasurer; Mr. J.
A. Avant, assistant secretary and

pers. Each family receives an ad
vance of goods to the value of two
hundred dollars, with the understand-;
ing that the debt is to be paid from
the season’s catch.
“I should think you would lose a
good deal,” I said. “Nothing could
be easier than for an Indian to take
his two hundred dollars' worth and
disappear in the woods. You’d never
be able to find him.”
Mr. MacDonald’s reply struck me,
for the man had twenty years’ trad
ing experience.
“I have never,” said he, “in a long
woods life, known but one Indian
liar.” — Exchange.
