A Carriers Complaint.
WHY so MANY PAPERS ARE MISSING FROM
THE DOOR STEP.


Letter from a newspaper carrier boy
in the Cleveland Leader: l write you a
few lines about paper carrying, and you
would oblige me and many other car
riers by publishing the same. There
are many complaints made about car
riers not leaving the paper properly. Oh
course there are a few exceptions, but
many route-owners go astray by believ-
ing it, and to verify what have said
write the following:
Yesterday morning, as L was carrying
my route on Case avenue, large hound
followed me, but he kept at a certain
distance from me. threw a paper up
on a porch, the dog stood and watched
me and waited until I got a distance
away, then he went up to the fence and
tried to get in. But the gate being shut
he could not get in. Then he wistfully
eyed the paper for a few minutes and
then followed me. He watched me
when threw a second paper upon a
porch. Then waiting until had got
about ninety feet, he suddenly jumped
upon the porch, seized the paper, and
started off.
I watched him and saw him go into
the back part of the yard, where 1 left
the paper, jump over the fence, run
through several yards and then down
Cedar avenue. On Cedar avenue he
stood still a minute and looked back,
and as soon as he saw me coming he ran
off, and that was the last 1 saw of him.
Now this had happened to me two or
three times before, and had to pay for
papers which 1 had carried faithfully.
Curriers' have to take all the blame for
papers missed, which they have carried
faithfully, and often get locked out Of
their already small pittance for such
papers. There is no doubt that dog was
trained to steal papers and bring them
home. Therefore you will do me and
other carriers justice by publishing the
same.

AssanItIur n Non. Union nInn.

CHICAGO, May l5.-The strike of the or,
shovelers at the Union Steel Works eliminated
in an assault and possible murder. At 8 O'Clock
as John Mitchell, u union man, was or the
corner Of Archer avenue and Church street,
janice Leman, James Sellinger, and John
Myer, members of the Ore ShOvelers' Union,
came up to him, and one Of them said
"DO you intend 10 continue working foI the
steel company ?"
''Of course do" was Mitchells reply.
The three men then drew reyolvers and
pointed them as though about to shoot. Nit
chell caught hold Of one of the pistols, and at
the same time put his hand in his h'p pocket,
where he also had a revolver. His assailants
then closed in upon him, and used the butts of
their weapons as clubs, striking him repeat
edly on the head. until he fell unconscious
Some women who were witnesses Of the assault
screamed, "Den't kill him !" and, finding that
crowd was gathering, the union men ran
away. They were subsequently captured.

The Care Of Children.

Boston, MAss.-A leading medical
journal thinks it is about time mothers
should know how seriously the health OF
children is imperiled by the use of prep
arations containing morphia and opium,
and given for the cure of colds and
coughs. The chemist of the Brooklyn
Board of Health, Otto Grothe, PHI. d.,
a graduate of the University of KEEL,
Germany. certifies officially that recently
a harmless and yet effective article for
such complaints has come TO his notice.
He refers to the newly discovered Red
Star Cough Cure, which he found purely
Vegetable.

Romance of tile Ashes,

The San Francisco Bulletin says
One of the finest houses on the most
fashionable street in San Francisco is the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs Porter Ashe,
who have just returned from Europe,
and being new people on the avenue,
their story has been raked up. Five
years ago Porter Ashe was a lawyers
clerk, and too poor to smoke, or drink,
or indulge in any of the gentlemanly
vices. He fell in love with Miss Amy
Crocker, and asked her mother for her,
but the old lady was opposed to the
match. The couple ran away and got
married. The generous mother called
her children back, forgaye and blessed
them with a present of 500, 900, and
sent them off travelling. On their re-
turn, lately, she made them a present
of a $500, 900 mansion and told them to
live in it and be happy. That's the
proper way to forgive and bless runaway
children. The Ashes ought to glow
with gratitude and never grow cold.

The Fashion to Work.

1t is the fashion to work. Every wo-

freak thu i'ten all classes like q

fever OF occupation. Satan. who used
to find so much mischief for idle hands
to do, must be at his wits ends to dis
cover a pair that is not full of play or
downright hard work. The moneyed
class and the working classes meet on a
neutral ground, where millionaires, En-
presses and Processes rush liz for their
share of labor. and look with scOrn on
those who hide their talents in napkin.
The fashionable idler is now as busy as
bee. with the bump of appreciation in
a state of abnormal development. Per-
haps these ..swelled heads of society
interfere with the labOrs of men and wO-
men who depend on their art or their
mechanical skill to keep the wolf from
the door, but it can be said in return
that the trained artisan or laborer is al
ways worthy of his hire, and there is no
code which prevents a fashion from hay
ing its little day.-Bostos B.G.0n.
