Int,uence Of Detroit working Girls.

influence of Detroit Working Girls.
The working girls of Detroit at one
time had the largest and best trade
union of any city in the country, except
perhaps Troy. They were power not
only in the management Of their own
affairs, but in compelling men into trade
unions. Their methods were simple.
They refused to dance with scab. Be-
fore that name, which every connois-
seur in epithets Knows is a triumph of
art in its way, strong men quailed when
it came between a pretty girls lips.
When coupled with refusal to dance
it sent them tumbling over one an
others heels in their effort to get inside
of some union, which shows what
women can do when they have convic-
tions strong genough.--Detroit Letter.

Claimed millions, Got Pauper's Grave.

Claimed Millions, Got Pauper's Grave.
Mrs. Ann Dodge, who was mentioned
in a New York paper recently as one of
Montana's millionaires, is reposing to-
night in two cent grave. She claimed
to own vast estates in England, and had
papers to give an air of probability to
her claim. The matter had been pend
ing for years. Meanwhile she had be-
come old and poor. She came to Butte
from San Francisco year ago, and
while here was forced to go to the poor
honse, where she died Wednesday. By
contract with the county local un-
dertaker inters Butte's paupers for two
cents per head, and that is the kind of a
grave in which rests the body of wom-
an who believed herself the rightful
owner of $8, 100000 in property.-Butte

why He Pays Duty on the .'Pants

Why He Pays Duty on the 'Pants."
Some rather fine distinctions are
drawn in the matter of customs de-
cisions by the treasury department. A
citizen of Detroit went over to Canada
and bought pair of trousers, which he
wore home. The customs officers taxed
him $500 duty on the new pantaloons.
He applied to the treasury department
for a rebate, and in his letter said, 81
fancied those pantaloons and bought
them"
When he used the word ''fancied" he
gave his case away. Assistant Secre-
tary Crounse informed him that the Nc
Kinley law admits free of duty articles
of clothing which are necessity"
but as the claimant himself admits that
he bought the pantaloons because he
"fancied" them it stands to reason that
they were not an article of necessity.
Therefore he must pay duty.-Washing-
ton Star.

The Voice of the Robin,

No bird is better known to us than
the robin. Its song is sweet and plain
tive; 1T rises early and goes to bed late;
1t loves to dwell and nestle near to man,
and has an air of sprightliness and con-
fidence which endears it to us all.
The songs of birds may be divided
into six utterances. The call note of
the mate in spring; the loud, clear note
OF defiance, the note of fear when dan
ger threatens the nest, the note of alarm
or war cry, the note of affection for
their young, and the soft, tender, full,
melodious love warble. e.-Troy Times.

pious, a few days ago, on discovering
that the ore in zinc mine thereabouts,
at a depth of eighty-fiye feet, proved so

Everybody in the FIRE department
knew Father Cohen, the oldest reporter
Ia New York, and everybody liked him.
The news of his death especially grieved
Battalion Chief McGill, who had known
the venerable reporter for years. When
he heard that Superintendent Byrnes,
the police commissioners and others of
the police force were going to send a
floral piece to be laid on Cohen's coffin,
he determined there should also be some
thing from the fire department He col
lected nearly fifty dollars among the
firemen. The exactions of department.
business prevented him from looking
after the matter himself the next day,
and he handed the subscription money
to q fireman and sent him to florist
with an order for q design.
"Mr. Cohen was a reporter, wasn't
hep the florist said. sAll right; have
an idea that will exactly suit. Leave
that to me-"
Politicians, policemen, firemen and
newspaper men had just begun to
gather at the old reporters home, In
Harlem, on the day of the funeral when
the bell rang, and a messenger from the
florist delivered huge floral piece, and
said it was sent by the fremen OF New
York. 1t was superb bed of roses,
and in the center was a facsimile IN
white immortelles of the reporters fire
badge issued to Father Cohen by Mr.
Richard Croker when he was fire COM
missioner. Worked in red letters was

Though slightly mixed, he was SO
thoroughly In earnest that he said
"E'gadp' several times during his dis
course, and when Mr.. Hicks said
"E'gadr' he meant 1t. After considera-
BILE discussion, 1t was decided that while
his wife spent the Fourth in the city
with her sister he would HE him to the
shady fastness Of Shagbark county and
peacefully fish the day away.
The journey thither, which began at
Z a. m, was an entirely dneventful one,
except for slight eruption resultant
upon his compliance with the request of
a tall, gaunt woman that he hold her
baby while she procured n cup OF tea NJ

ton. Mr.. Hicks reads the newspapers.
He also thinks. And when he saw
from the car window the tall, gaunt
woman rush out OF the door at the OPP
posite side OF the lunch room and just
manage to swing on TO the tail end Of
the west bound train which had stood
on the other track, he realized how he
been duped-
The sight of a blushing, wild-eyed
man jumping about like IA toad ON
hot skillet and holding wrong end up a
baby which sang war songs In the
Siwash language moved Hicks fellow
passengers to indulge In loud and
resonant horse-laughs. They also re-
minded him In one voice that the game
was older than the hills and that suck
ers were plentiful that year. In frenzy.

Hicks was about 10 cast the young
Apollyon out OF the window and dive

and the conductor appeared with tele-
gram and arrested him. And then all
tho passengers fell upon Hicks, hgur-
ativcly speaking, and lashed him with
cloven tongues
And when they reached the junction
three deputy sheriffs pounccd upon
Hicks and would have beaten his brains
out had not the tall, gaunt woman got
ahead OF them and scratched n map OF
Kamtchatlsa on his countcnance. And
seven men stood ready with ropes, and
the mob cried aloud that he bo
lynchcd for kidnapping. But the depu-
ties saved his life and got their pay in
full In satisfaction by beating him AL

How the Young should Observe the Ma

How the Young should Observe the Ma
tion's Anniversary.
This is the season when Young
America celebrates the glorious deeds
of the forefathers, when they cut the
leading strings that bound them 10 the
old world, and stepped forth with the
independence of manhood.
1t took Rome FIVE hundred years, five
centuries of war, intrigue and AFRO
gance, TO overspread southern Europe
In little more than one century, says
the Youths Companion. America has
grown to a magnitude, in area and per-
haps in population also, equal TO that
of Rsme in its most magnificent days
"Civis Romanus sunni was the proud
est boast that could fall from the lips 81
man at the beginning Of the Christian
era Is there to-day an American who
rates his citizenship in the great repub-
lie at lower value than Roman free
dom nineteen hundred years ago?
The day for spread eagle" brag In
long past, but there Is no reason why
we should hesitate TO say, what not
we alone but all the people of the world
believe, that IL Is the destiny of this
country TO become the greatest, the
strongest, the wealthiest, the most self
supporting, of all the nations of the
earth 1t is already the greatest self
governing community the world has
ever seen.
How can we make II greater2 BY
standing together as Americans We
shall not magnify, but shall belittle
ourselves, II we swagger before our
neighbors-using bravado for the
strong, and insolence in our treatment
of the weak. But we should take
American views instead of party views,
when questions arise between this gov
ernment and others.
The motto America against the
world" would be N contemplate motto.
Yet is il not better to adopt even such
q motto than to take the side OF the
world against America, or TO be indiffer-
ent when the interests of ones own
country are assailed?
The Fourth Of July Is good time for
us all to resolve that we will be Ameri-
cans at heart. Not that we viii bdild
up our own country on the ruins OF
others, but that when there In q clash
ing of interests those of our native land
shall have our hearty support
