BEEcHER's ONLY PoEM

It Was . Love Mlssive to His Sweetheart,
who Always Kept tbs Verses Sacred.
During the days of Henry Ward Beecher's
courtship it is related by his wife that he
once cropped into poetry" and wrote a
few lines of verse, teeming with affection
for his sweetheart But the verses were al
ways kept. sacred by Mrs. ,Beecher, as they
are at the present day, and nothing can win
them from her. One day Mr.. and Mrs.
Beecher were in the Office of Robert Bon
ner.
"Why don't you write poem, Beecher?"
said the astute publisher.
"He did once, admitted Mrs Beecher,
and Immediately Mr. Bonner's eyes
sparkled.
"Recite it for me, won't you, Mrs
Beecher?' he asked. -
But the eyes of the great preacher were
riveted on his wife, and she knew that he
meant silence.
Come" said the persistent publisher,
'T'l give $1,000 If you will recite that
poem to me-" addressing Mrs Beecher.
"Why, it ran" began the preachers
wife.
"Eunice," simply said Mr.. Beecher.
And although Robert Bonner offered to
double the sum first offered he never got
the poem from MrA Bescher, and no one
has iines been whit more suoesssful

TIE ORIGIN OF THE TERM STRIKE

Before the Era Of Trad. Unions 1t Meant to
Begin or Quit Work at q Certain Time.
This term seems to be one of those which,
without any definite origin. such as, for in
stance, the word boycott" had, has grown
into its present use by process of adoption,
the course Of which wassprobsbly as fol-
lows:
In all climes and ages the hours of labor
in gangs or squads have been marked of by
the striking of befl or gong either BY hand
or clockwork. In medieval England the
town clock, or, in the country, the monas-
terry bell, gave the signal for commencing
or ending work, and from this arose the
north and east country sayings, 81 strike
work at such an hour" and 81 knock off at
so and So" which were in use before the
days of trade unionism. Thus the WELCOME
stroke which told that toll was over ecame
associated with the voluntary stoppage Of
work, and "to strike" was made synony-
nous with the action of putting down tools
on the stroke Of the hour for stopping.
From this stage to the use of the word to
express general cessation of work for a
definite object was of course only . step.
That the term, as signitying the substitu-
tion of-rest for action, Is quite classical, and
not merely trade slang, may be seen from
Millions lines:

She strikes a universal peace through sea
and land"

in all probability be Duke Of Northumber-
land some day. As matter of course, the
youthful lord has really no history beyond
that attending the average young man who has
spent the most of his life at school, but it is
always interesting to chronicle events per-
tanning to such powerful house a. that Of
the Percya
Their history begins, as far as record goes,
in the first quarter of the tenth century,
when Geofrey. son Of Manfred, q
Danish chieftain, assisted Rollo in
subjugating Normandy, and took
a family name from the village
called Percy in that principality. A de-
scendsnt was William de Percy, who was
distinguished by the euphonious title Of
'.Alsgernon," which is at present
spelled and pronounced "Algernon," mean
ing William, Henry or George with the
whiskers, as the case may be. The twelfth
Lord Percy was made Earl of Northumber-
land the day King Richard IL was crowned.
1t was his eldest son Harry, who has been
so widely celebrated by historians and story
tellers under the name of Hotspur. What
English boy, or American either, has not
heard of Chevy Chase? In fact the history
of the majority of the Percys reads like q
wonderful story book. Certain it is, that
no family name in all England recalls 80
much that is interesting.

As almost every boy knows, DR.. Arnold had
charge Of the school during ''Tom Browns"
attendance there. That was some time be-
tween 1928 and 1872 June IL of the last
named year the beloved headmaster passed
away and was buried in the chancel of
Rugby chapel. A plain cross Of gray marble
marks the grave and monument with his
statue stands in one of the TRANSCRIPTS that
heve been added to the structure since his
death.
But although the great instructor has
gone, almost all the old customs of the
sch Dol of half hundred years ago remain
Regularly. as ever, on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday afternoons, the cricket, foot
ball or hare and hounds contests take place.
The old hostility between the different
forms still continue, but in lesser degree,
the bitter fights in which collar bones, arms
and legs were often fractured having hap
PLY been done away with.

the Christian quarter Of Jeddah will be the

Perhaps 1t is, not generally known that
'our Mother Eve" is supposed to be buried
at Jeddah. Near what is called the Me
dina gate are the Turkish barracks, and just
beyond these is the famous holy place of
Jeddah, surrounded by the principal ceme-
terry of the town. The tomb is walled,
about 200 PAGES long and 15 broad, and is
supposed to represent the dimensions of the
body. At the head is Q small pavilion,
where gifts are received, and little more
than half way down is tiny chapel contain

El-Surrah, the navel. This place was men,
toned by Edrisi, the fsmo Us Arabian geog-
rapher, about 800 years ago, but aside from
the black stone nothing else appears to be
of any great antiquity.

Tho Claims of q Trunk-Maker.

In reading over the accounts of the Wark-
worth birthday celebration 1t does not ap-
pear that any of the descendants of the
famous Percy claimant, ''The Trunk-maker, "
were among the invited guests. Joceline,
the eleventh earl, married the youngest
daughter of the Earl of Southampton, by
whom he had no male issue. That the
name might not die out, King Charles II.
created his natural son by the Duchess Of
Cleveland, Earl and afterward Duke of
Northumberland, although James Percy,
trunk-maker, very generally and clearly
proved that he was the rightful heir, by
descent from Sir Ingelram Percy, third son
of the fifth earl. Notwithstanding the fact
that Lord Chief Justice Hale announced in
open court that he believed the claim to be
legitimate "The Trunk-maker" was non.
suited, and sentenced to wear paper
placard in Westminster Hall declaring him
"a false and impudent pretender to the
earldom Of Northumberland"

fighters, and some of the hardest tasks i'm
posed upon him are those which compel him
not to do certain things There are many
things he does not do which local lights of
the riag do and believe unharmful He has
not smoked since he started to prepare for
the mill, and, more than that, he will not
sit in room or in group where smoking
is being INDUCED in. He arises at o'clock
every morning and retires at $50 o'clock
at night, aud during the 15 hours and 80
minutes his every move is regulated by
a timetable. Fifteen minutes before Z
o'clock in the morning johnson has a cup
of hot tea with an egg in it, at o'clock he
starts on four-nile walk, at S:15 he is at
breakfast, at $50 A M. he is taking a
sweat, at noon he has bath, and so it goes
all the day. If from any cause Rowlands
detains him for five minutes, johnson re-
minds him that time flies, and Benny has
to get move on him. If dinner is late
or an Objectionable person is near him.
johnson gives Rowlands the office and
makes his escape. Not that he is cranky.
for he is not, he is simply careful.

prevent accidents may be instanced his
manner of drinking his daily allowance of

drinks from the bottle, and insists that the

that he is suspicious of any OF those around

Como to = Satisfactory Agreement With
the Road Officials.
ST. PAUL. Sept. 14.-[Special. IA con-
ference terminated in this city to-day be-
tween the officials of the Northern Pacific
and its telegraph operators which has
avsrted general strike all along its line
from st. Paul to the Pacific coast For
some time past the telegraph operators
have been dissatisfied with the schedule Of
salaries in effect and little over two weeks
ago committee of the operators on this
line, consisting Of j. s. Keenry, of Washing
ton state; d. =. Dayton, of Montana; w. G..
Secore, of Dakota; e. M. Larkin, of WASH
ington, and W. S. HogR, of Montana, visited
st. Paul and have held number of con-
ferenoes with the Northern Pacific officials
in this time. They make demands for an
increase in pay for all operators and num-
her of other privileges not included in the
old schedule of salaries. The conference
resulted to-day in an amicable adjustment
of trouble which at one time threatened a
general strike. The operators express sat-
isfaotion with the manner in which they
were received and the concessions granted.
Under the new management the operators
of the road, 600 in number, will nearly all
receive from $5 to $l5 per month more
than they have heretofore been receiving.
