KISSING THE ROD.


Oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry sol
What we've missed of calm we couldn't
Have, you know
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again
If it blow
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known
When our tears fell with the shower
ALI alone
We're not shine and shadow blent
As the gracious Master meant
Let us temper our content
With His own
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Letus fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears
And through all the coming years
just be glad.

A BATTLE OF BRoTHERHooDs.
The Carpenters at Work on a Bali
Grounds Quit Work

BOSTON, MASS, March 24.-The carpen-
tiers at work on the Boston Players Club
grounds were ordered TO quit this afternoon
by the Carpenters Union. All but seven
men of the eighty employees went out Ac-
cording to Walking Delegate Clink
ard of the Carpenters Union, the
Federation of Labor have been
given to understand time and again
in payment for their Endorsement that the
brotherhood would assuredly see to it that
contracts would be let only to such con-
tractors as would agree to employ union
labor, pay union wages and enforce the
union standard of work day, whether it
might be eight or nine hours. 1t is claimed
that not only has the brotherhood
club of Boston failed to comply with the
requirements of the union, but that the
brotherhood managers of otuer cities have
practically ignored in the placing of their
contracts Endorsement of labor organizations
and the wishes of the carpenter s. union in
Chicago and Philadelphia
Tonight a compromise was affected
whereby Contractor Hayes agrees to con-
tinue the work as a union job, with nine
hours work per day.

Proposed Increase.
NEW YORK, March PA large number
of dealers, jobbers and importers of foreign
fruit and lemons and oranges have sent a
petition to the committee on ways and
means at Washington protesting against
any increase in the duty on oranges
and lemons. The petitioners claim
that the bulk of the imported oranges
and lemons are sold t. the working
classes d in the tenement districts, and a
quantity Is sent to points west, where none
OF the Florida fruit is sold on account of its
high price. They assert that no injury will
be done to the domestic trade by keeping
the duty at its present standard, aud that
AN increase of duty only teods to drive
them out of business without doing the
home fruit growers any good.
