FARHERs:-Beh old the world looking
on with awe and admiration upon the
quiet and nnostentatious movements
of the organized wage laborer. Then,
and therein consider how easy it Is for
united farmers to save and protect
themselyes from the wrongs of which
we how suffer. The late strikes have
caused the inmates of the citadels of
corruption at Washington to fear and
tre'nDle. AS evidence of which l quote
from "Our Country" y paper published
at New York City, from the chaplain's
prayer, of March 9th, as follows;
GIVE ear, 0 God of Jacob, and awak-
en- us to see the. danger which threat
ems the civilized world. :. For long the
few nave mastered the many, because
they understood the open secret; but
now the many have learned the secret
oi organization, drill and dynamite
Rouse the rich of the world to under
stand that the time has come for grind
ing. selfish monopoly to cease. Teach
the rich men of this country that great
fortunes are lent them by thee. Teach
them, 0 God, that it is thee who has
given them power to go get these for
tunes-that it is to know what is in
their hearts, whether or no they will
keep tEe commandment, "thou shalt
love the Lord thy Gol within thy heart
and thy neighbor as thyself;" that if
the rich men OF our land keep these
commandments, the poor will follow
the example, and we, at least, will be
saved. Help us, 0 God, and save u.s.
Thus you see what organization has
done-eyen the poorest of the poor
have, by the united effort Of less than
than half OF them, put their oppressors
in fear of their power. Farmers, we
should take. courage bp such examples
and push the organization of the Alli-
ance to systematic operation, and CO.
operative action throughout our coNn-
try.

Superstition of Sneezlng.

The custom of saying "GOd bless
you" to one who sneeZes is supposed
to have originated about the year 750.
There is tradition that in the time
of ST. Gregory the Great the air was
filled with peculiar influence, and
whoever happened to sneeze im,ne.
diately died. The Pontiff promulga-
ted form of prayer, and Il wish to be
said by those who felt compelled TO
sneeZe, and which was expected
would avert the fatal effects.
According to mythology the first
sign of life made by Promethus' arti-
fetal man was a sneeze. The rabbis
give the custom very ancient date,
and, according to their tradition, soon
after the creation God decreed that
every living man should sneeze once
only, ard at that instant his soul
should depart from his body. Jacob,
however, did not like such a way of
leaving the world, and asked God to
make an exception in his favor.
This was granted. and Jacob sneez-
ed without dying. When the princes
of the temporal powers of the world
heard of this they ordered their SUBJ
jects when snerzing, to accompany it
with Il thanksgiving for the preserva-
tion of life and prayers for its cDntin-
ance. According to Aristotle the men
who believed that the seat of the soul
was in the head or brain regarded
sneezing As one of the most sensible
and manifest operations of the head.
The ancient apostle of learning gives
no account Of the origin of the opera
lion.

Non-Union Workmen Attacked and Beaten
in the Streets of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. THE strike in the Maxwell
Bros. box factory is assuming more serious
aspect as the days eapse, and the strikers have
several acts of violence laid at their doors
When the employees of the factory left last night
some of them received severe beatings. but this
morning more serious trouble took place. At
7:30 o'clock, when eight of the non-union men
were on their way to work, and had reached the
corner of Blue Island avenue and Eleventh
street, they were attacked by a crowd Of
the strikers. 1t was wild, turbulent mob of
men and boys, armed with sticks and stones
One of the non union men had also armed him
self with club. This quickly taken from
him, and he was knocked down. The mob then
got the eight men separated, five of them ran
off, but three found themselves entirely sur
rounded by the furious crowd. William Morri-
son. one of them, the first to feel the fury of
of the strikers and their sympathizers He was
felled to the ground by blow from club A
cash three inches in length was cut in the
top Of his head, and he otherwise badly
bruised. FL. B. Gwen, another employee,
met with similar fate. and brutally
beaten about the head and face. B. Perry, the
third employee. received the worst injuries A
long and deep cash was inflicted on the side of
his head, and his face was pounded into jelly
Perry was unable TO walk without assistance.
He was removed to a store near by, and a num-
Der of stitches taken in his head. The balance
Of the workmen got some one to send in an
