THE COMPETE OF APPLES,
A King Taught by His Queen How
to Form q Good Cabinet.

There was once King, but do not
know Of what, for history is always so
tiresomc about questions and answers
that have never dared TO inquire. The
only thing that do know is that be
was called Pcrico. and that he had
married a certain Mari-Castana, and
also that he passed his life thinking how
he could form good Cabinet Of officers.
and saying. when every one turned out
worse than the last: 1T Is enough to
make my nose swollen!''
Mari-Castana. the Queen, was a
famous cook and looked upon politics
with indifference. In those days there
were none Of those intimate rclat ons
between politics and dining. for, like
other barbarians, the people had never
thought Of very simple thing: to
fortify the heart il is enough to fortify
the stomach. its ncighbor, and half a
glass Is enough 70 kindle patriotic
glow.
His wife's indifference to politics
troubled King Perico greatly. and such
discussions rs these were quite common
between their Majest;es:
do you know. wife, think I see
how We can vary our course -
''But it il varied every day."
You are mistaken; Il has never been
varied"
WAS there ever such q forgctful
man! Anybod, would think I never
took any pains not to have the same
course at table two days in success

table this morningp"
u have not said anything Of the
kind. But l will say this: that there Is
no talking any sense with you. and l
shall leave you before my nose be-
comes swollen"
And the squabblc ended by the Kings
going to his private room to bury him
self in political affairs. while the Queen
hurried TO the kitchen to see il the soup
needed Swimming.
These alterations afforded King
Perico some very lively moments. He
was feeling Of his nose one mo ming and
finding II rs he thought. little swollen,
he made up his mind to forbid the
Queen formally from entering the
Kitchen but an unexpected event
changed the appearance Of affairs and
subsequently proved that he had been

A Letter That Explains Away Any Bad
Feeling That May Exist.
As very much contradictory talk has been
indulged in in regard to the secession OF the
nailers from the Amalgamsted Association,
and assertions having been made that they
would antsgonize the interests Of the Asso'
citation, the following letter from Mr.. NJ. A
Chew, Secretary Of the United Nailer5 OF
America, taken from the Pittsburg Labor
Tribune, is printed to show the feeling OF
the new association
81 have been reading the editorials in the
Amalgamated Association columns of your
paper, and am sorry to see the feeling
manifested towards nailers. / assure you
there is no such feeling towerds the Anal
gamated Association among US. We
thought we could better advance our own
interest by ourselves and do not intend to
antsgonize the Anaigsmation Association,
but will stand up with them and Gall other
labor organizations to sustain the demand
ola fair days pay for fair days work"
We still believe that "in union there is
strength" and that is why we withdrea, for
this house was divided against itself. =.
The nailers went into the Amalgama.ed
Association and obligated themselves to
obey their laws as body They have al
ways done so, but they chose to recognize
the constitution, and not the will Of the A
A. officials as the supreme law. In saying
that the members OF Hersey lodge we're al
WAYS considered the dangerous element Of
their trade" he is mistaken, for in the con-
ven,ion of nailers held here there
were delegates from every mill in the
West The very man from whom
the "traitorous language" emanated
was elected to the Office of President by &C
clamation, and if all the nailers have to fear
are the traitors Of Hersey Lodge" we will
rest easy for the future of the mailing fra
ternity, feeling confident we can uphold
and sustain our wages for all time 10 come.
As | said before, we will not antagonize
the Amalgamsted Association unless by at
tending to our own business we do so. Al.
though we have differed in the past With
some of our fellow workmen in regard to
ways and means we wish to be recognized
as a fellow labor organization, and TO ACT
in harmony with all other organizations and
instruments to advance the interests Of
labor"
