The Executive Committee has just
finished it's third meeting, without
doing anything, and $500 have gone
into the soup. The petitions to
have Hall removed were 'laid on the
table, Mr.. Donnelly was not pr. g.
ent-the campaign having something
sterner than to squander more mon
ey from the embezzled treasury. The
other petitions for the removal OF
Hall, after { the first two, were not
presented. Hompe, one of the Watch
donaters, said that it made no differ
ence if eleven hundred petitions were
sent in.
Lathrop did not come either with
himself or his books. But as Mr..
Donnelly was not present, and the
GREAT VEST wants them to use their
rope to the fullest extent, they tele-
graphed for Lathrop to come on, and
he got here Tuesday night.
In the meantime, Hompe, Bjorge
and Furlong saw that they had al
ready gone too far with the rascal, SO
they departed and a committee OF
three, Hall, Stromberg and Poore,
we're left to handle him. AS he got

which experience has proved to be highly
effective as means of imparting tone anC

VINO owns THE CHICKENi

Many debating societies have struggled
long and unsatisfactory with the ques-
ton, (Which is the mother of the chicken,
the hen that lays the egg or the hen that
matches it1" Now the tquestion4is in fair
way for settlement, as it has been formally
brought before Long Island justice of
the peace, two neighbors having quarreled
over it, One is a. breeder of fancy poul-
try, and one is owner of brood of the
more common sort The owner of the
blooded stock one, day, not long since,
espied on his neighbor's premises chick
of the s'high breed" kind, entirely unlike
the fowls he Qhis neighboG was wont to
keep. The sight of this fancy bird, which
evidently had Just escaped from coop,
was taken as evidence that the breeder of
common fowls was playing a mean trick
on his neighbor, and the fancy man at
himself. His claim was founded on al
legged priority of ownership by virtue of
production, his theory being that, Unknown
to himself, one of his fancy hens must
have flown over into the adjoining yard
and laid an egg in his neighbours roosts.
This theory, the possessor of the chick did
not pretend to deny, but he claimed that
his hen was practically the mother of the
chicken, she having Matched the egg, and,
therefore, as he owned the mother the in
crease also belonged to him.
The question could not be presented in
any clearer way, and the Long Island jus
tice has chance to immortalize himself.
If he finds himself capable of dealing with
the case, he might further show his fitness
for the high place he occupies by deciding
''the lady or tiger" question.

DIsORGANIZED LABOR.


The recent labor difficulties have plainly
exposed the elements os weakness in the
present system of organized labor. Strikes
have been started on small provccation by
small numbers of men, and then efforts
have been made to get everybody else who
works to strike ''sympathetically. The
Supreme Council was called to decide
whether it was best to make the injury of
a few the concern of ALL The Council had
the good sense to decide that it was not,
and offered heartfelt sympathy instead of
a sympathetic strike This decision made
apparent the hostility of some of the labor
organizations to the others. Then Pow
derly ''pitched into" Chief Arthur. Chief
Arthur in an indirect way told Powderly
to mind his own business as he (Arthur)
was doing and intended to do. Brother
Barry poked his head up and declared that
Powderly was negotiating with stock
broker once upon time when stockbroker
thought it would pay to know some
thing about the ending of strike. Pow
derly said Barry was a liar and that he
Barry was dishonest and otherwise unfit
to champion the cause of organized labor.
Powderly also further relieved his mind by
calling Mr.. Webb what hard names he had
left, and denouncing the board of arbitra-
ton, which has shown itself quite subser
Went enough to organized labor.
And 80 forth and so on. The fact is thai
the labor leaders are no longer able to i'm
press their fellow men with their myste
rious and awful power. They are squad
bling among themselves and are fast losing
the confidence which has buoyed them vi
and given them fat salaries. 1t will sool
be made clear that in order to exist ant
prosper labor organizations and labo
leaders must be fair and just with eacl
other and their opponents, the capitalists
They cannot be tyrants and irresponsible
despots in this land of the free.

first as being one of the most expert snuff
chewers had yet seen, expectorating with
all the ease and sang-froid of veteran
lover of the week, and 1 had already
learned to maintain a respectful distance
toward her.
One rainy afternoon we were invited to
one of the cottages to while away the hours
until supper time A CHEEKY fire blazed
in the wide fireplace. Two beds occupied
one side of the room which, with table
and chairs, completed the furniture. 1t
was strangely pleasant afternoon
Stories were told, and conundrums were
propounded, a witty young Lutheran
minister contributing his stock of anec-
dotes for our entertainment.
As the heat from the fire became too in
tense-my friend of the snuff stick removed
her seat to a vacant place between the two
beds. 1 was watching her speculative
ly, when, raising her head, without
the slightest effort, she expectorated
over the high bed into the glowing fire on
the opposite side of the room. That evening
We were all collected in the large sitting
room; no lamps were needed, for the great
pine logs that filed the huge fire place
blazed and cracked, illuminated the room
and filed it with golden radiance. A
fiddler was brought in from the kitchen to
play for our amusement. He played many
of the old plantation songs; some of these
were weird and mournful, real heart
breaking melodies; others were as bright
and joyous as the carol of feathered song
sters, which he good-naturedly repeated
when desired, until he had exhausted his
repertoires when he retired to his former
obscurity.
The time came all too soon for our de-
parture. 1 had learned to like these sim
pie country folk, who were so unworldly
and unconventional, and yetmany of them
were so shrewd and keen. liked their
very peculiar idiom. 1t was such a quiet.
restful place, away from the tumult Of the
busy world, from which it was completely
isolated, a weekly mail at the nearest post
Office being the only connection with it,
One must have resources within themselves
however, to enjoy life here With
books and a few congenial friends
cannot imagine a more peaceful
retreat. 1t would be rich field for M

not been on record for centuries, especial
