Horace Greeley, in his "Recollections of Busy Life," tells the following story:
 "A gushing youth once wrote to this effect:
 Dear Sir-Among your literary treasures you have doubtless preserved several autographs of our country's late lamented poet, Edgar Allen Poe. If so, and you can spare one, please enclose it to me, and receive the thanks of yours truly, -
 "I promptly responded as follows:
 Dear Sir Among my literary treas ures there happens to be exactly one autograph of our country's late lament ed poet, Edgar Allan Poe It is a note of hand for fifty dollars, with my en- dorsement across the back. It cost me exactly $50 75, including protest, and you may have it for half that amount Yours respectfully,
 HORACE GREELEY

Beware of Ofntme ents for Catarrh that
 Contain Mercury,
 as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole sys- tenn when entering 1t through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable phy- slans, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney < Co.,, Toledo, O., contains no mercury and Is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Oatarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It Is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Go.

About four years ago l went TO Chicago.
| had previously learned the bi1dery trade
in the little town of KeOkuk, Iowa. In
Chicago found it pretty hard to get work,
and the first thing that struck me was the
poor wages paid to members of my sex for
the labor they performed, and as soon as
got employment l began TO talk about FORM
ing a union OF the bindery girls. 1t was
very difficult matter 10 get tile young girls to
listen TO me. They seemed to think that or
ganiZatOn would not benefit them. After
about two years of hard work | succeeded
in calling meeting. We managed to form
a union with 13 members. Then we
called on the girls of other shops.
and in snort time we had be-
come so popular that every bindery in
the town was organized. Ii was very hard
work in the beginning. l had to go around
to the girls at night after 1 had done my
own days work, and | used to talk to them
and invite them to come to our meetings.
The BindeTY Union has now nearly 300
members. Having put my own trade on a
sound basis, and having by means of organi-
zatlOn taught the girls to know how to resist
the unjust oppression of some OF the en-
ployers OF female labor. | began to organize
other trades that were underpaid.

success in organizing the workers III many

MUSLIN IN VOGUE.

Every one can remember the day when
the dotted muslin was the synonym for
simplicity. 1t was dainty thing in white
with little dots OF white embroidered over
it. 1t had ribbon Lelt and required much
work to be laundried, but il was always so
'smple" and so ''girlish" that to find 1t
part of the wardrobe of the woman who
lays claim to no such qualities is rather
surprise.
But the muslin itself has changed since
the days of its youth. 1t comes now with
hints OF color In It's makeup, and the dot of
former DAYS has become quite an elaborate
little design. There was one shown recently
in which the ground work was the usual
thin material. with fine line of pink run
ming through it at space Of an inch. The
pattern in which it was embroidered was
tiny feur de lis, and the effect was very
delicate and pretty.
Another dotted muslin had a bowknot in
white embroidered all over its sheer sur
