where DIrty Hands Are Allowed.

The most noticeable thing about the
American people, in the eyes of an Aus
tralian recently arrived, is the fact that
they wear their finger nails closely cut
and very clean. In Sidney or Melbourne
even the most aristocratic gentleman
never thinks of cleaning his finger nails,
and seldom cuts them. Even the lower
classes in the United States take good
care of their nails, which is something
an Australian can scarcely comprehend.
Americans are busy people. and one can
hardly imagine when they find time to
bother with cutting or cleaning their
finger nails.
Another noticeable thing is your i1lu-
minadon of shop windows at night.
After 8 o'clock in Melbourne street the
streets are as dark as a cavern, and one
can walk for block or more without
seeing light. Here in San Francisco
there are lights in every window. Even
after the shop is closed the proprietor
leaves electric lights burning to display
and advertise the goods in his window.
A Melbourne merchant would regard
this as a needless expense.-Interview

A LITTLE LOVE SONG.

A year ago today, my love,
My heart was full of care;
The gathered grief of long. long years
Seemed more than could lear.
The past was all so fraught with pain,
The present dim with woe,
The future looked so dark to me,
One little year ago
! thought TO tread my lonely path
In silence, all alone;
No friend to cheer with kindly word,
No hand TO clasp my own;
No dream or hope OF light or love
To bless my Swallowed way.
All, well! 'Tis said, '.the darkest hour
Is just before the day"
So, when my deepest night had come,
And life was well nigh gone,
Heavens own kind care sent you. my dear.
To herald i'll the dawn.
The tender touch of loves own hand
Rent every cloud away,
And heaven swung dazzling down to me,
A year ago today
And now those gentle eyes of blue
Look lovingly in mine;
And strong, brave hands, with kindly clasp
My trembling, ones entwine;
And onward now with happy heart.
walk life's joyous way,
And bless the boon which came TO me

The killing of Sitting Bull, the famous
Indian chief, recalls the fact that Mr..
Max E. Dickerson is the proud possessor
of this great chiefs private war club.
Mr. Dickerson secured the club from
Elroy Post, scenic artist IN the employ
of the Union Pacific Railroad company,
who received it as IL present from Sitting
Bull himself Mr.. Post was doing some
work for the railroad company at the
time in and around Sitting Bulls head
quarters, and tine chief took a great
liking to him, but would have nothing
to do with the rest of the men, although
there were six in the party. He took
Mr.. Post all through his camp, intro
duced him TO different Indians, and
made things as pleasant for him as pos
sible.
In return for his kindness Mr.. Post
painted for Sitting Bull two large pict-
ures of his two favorite ponies, Dry
Camp and Never Fret, which so pleased
the old chief that he said he would like
to present him with something in return
for the compliment. Noticing large

taken up by the department OF social economy.
Interest conferred in the paper read by Samue,
Gompers OF New York, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. on Trades Unions,
Their Achievements, Methods and Aims
Mr.. Gompers said that in the organization OF
the trades union political issues, purely as
such, find barren ground. There is a steady
and growing conviction among organized
toilers that political aims cannot settle economic
demands. Mr.. Gompers reviewed strikes rs a
method of obtaining relief He said they
should be avoided whenever and wherever pos
sible.
Prof. Edward ". Bemis of Vanderbilt Uni
versity. Nashville, Tenn, read paper on the
Relation of Trades Unions to Apprentices, -
criticising severely their general adverse action
to apprentices and abiding to the great num-
Der of half-skilled laborers with whom Ameri-

opportunities for future relief in the manual

in several cities.
