The High-School Young Man Dlsturbs the

1t was late and Horace had retired to
his own room.
In the healthy, innocent slumbers of
boy in his teens, through whose veins
flows the vigorous young blood of dawn
ing manhood, and in whose warm heart
is born at every throb a generous i'm
pulse that leads to kind words, to acts
OF helpfulness, to the chivalric cham
pionship of the cause of weaker COM
rade, there is something that sottens
the asperities of the rugged paternal
nature, that awakens the maternal
pride, thrills the heart, and we'll may
move to tenderness the guardian angel
that watches unseen and in silence at
his bedside. The little trials, the
hcartaches and the discouragements
of the day that seem to him of so
much moment are forgotten. The
burden of his studies has been laid
aside with the books tossed SO care

Something like this passed through
the mind of the gentle mother us she
sat in the family room below, his good
night kiss yet warm on her lips, and
the pride and joy of motherhood still
shining in her soft brown eyes. o, the
depths of a mothers love! Who shall
fathom it? But bark! What was that!
From the floor above came series of
appalling shrieks, wild, blood-curdling,
unearthly.
Again and again they broke upon
the ear in agonizing walls, prolonged,
unintelligible, and awful.
Half-d!stracted with fear the family
rushed up the stairway and burst into
the room from which the noises came.
There stood Horace before his look
ing-glass, dancing, grimacing, and
bowling.
"What is it, dear? What is the mat
ter?' asked hismother, trembling with
terror.
Matter? Nothin'!" answered Horace,
deeply disgusted at the interruption.
"I'm practicin' our new high-school

ONE EFFECT OF TRADE UNIONS.

The Position of tho American Boy in Re-
gard to American Labor.
Shall American boys be permitted to
learn trades, and, having learned them,
shall they be permitted to work at
them? These are apparently simple
questions, and the answering of them
is an apparently simple matter. Most
persons thus interrogated would reply
at once: Certainly they should. Why
do you ask such unnecessary ques-
tions?' We ask them because under
the present conditions of trade instruc-
ton and employment in this country
the American boy has no rights which
organized labor is bound to respect. He
is denied instruction as an apprentice,
and if he be taught his trade in trade
school, he is refused admission to near
ly all the trade unions, and is boycott
ted if he attempts to work as nom
union man. The questions of his char
acter and skill enter into the matter
only to discriminate against him.
All the trade-unions of the country
are controlled by foreigners, who COM
prise the great majority of their mem-
bers. While they refuse admission to
the trained American boy, they admit
all foreign applicants with little or no
regard to their training or skill. In
fact, the doors of organized labor in
America, which are closed and barred
against American boys, swing open,
wide and free, to all foreign corners.
Labor in free America is FREQ to all
save the sons of Americans.
These are neither idle nor exaggerat-
ed statements. They are sober, solemn
truths, expressed with studied modera-
ton. So-called American labor to-day
is complete misnomer. as far as the
trades are concerned. How has it
come about that the United States,
alone among the nations of the earth.

of her field of mechanical labor to for

Tim was a small, bandy-legged, To-
quacious Celt, good soldier, if not a
pretty one. He first took the oath of
allegiance to Uncle Sam in Pittsburgh,
Pa, during the stirring days of the re-
bellion, under circumstances that were
as amusing as they were fortunate for
Mr.. Maher.
After being turned away with scorn
from half q dozen recruiting offices, by
reason of his size and shape, he was
eagerly snatched up by a patriotic citi-
zen who was hunting for substitute.
As Tim told it a hundred times:
''Whin was beggin' thin to list me,
sure they wuddent luck at me; but,
whin I was wanted as second-handed
substitute for an ould divil that was

anything of the sort, except upon the
subject of 3 dogs howling. This is .
thing she can't endure.
There is q kennel located two doors
from her house, in the back yard of q
neighbor, and very often indeed her
husband is aroused at night by her cry
ing out to him.
On one occasion, near daylight, when
he couldn't be awakened by this means,
she threw . pillow over at him, and it
struck him square in the face.
He gave smothered yell, threw his
arms around wildly, and sat up gasp
ing:
whats the matter?'
II thought you'd never wake up! Just
hear that dog howl?"
Dog? But what struck me in the
face, them"
"Oh, threw a pillow at you. Inever
knew anyone to sleep SO soundly."
"Well, upon my word. Is it such o
crime to sleep?"
"Just hear that dog. I'm frightened
to death. I'm sure baby s going to die. :"
Don't be fool"
Then bright idea struck him.
"That isn't "a dog. That's the ferry
boat whistle. It's foggy night"
"The idea! AS if ferry boats could
whistle like that"
just at this moment the dog began a
c1escendO movement that was abso-
lutely startling.
George, won't stand it another
minute. You must get right up and go
to that house and tell them to stop it. :"
cat this hour of the morning? Iguess
not. l suppose the brute's hungry"
Perhaps he is. I have thought of
that. George, dear, go down to the
refrigerator and you'll find a piece Of
fish left over from dinner. It's in the
right-hand corner on top of everything.
Throw it over to the dog"
So George arose and donned some
clothes, and, taking some matches, he
felt his way downstairs, growing all
the time.
Of course he didn't find the fish, be-
cause it was in plain sight, but he
tipped things over and sp1uttered and
swore, the dog in the meantime per-
forming marvcls in the way of canine
cadenzas.
Something had to be done.
There were tomatoes and asparagus
and green peas, but dogs don't care for
those things, SO George dug deeper.
and at length came upon a magnificent
porterhouse steak.
1t was fine enough for any family. It
ought to suit dog.
So he dashed out into the backyard,
accompanied by the steak, and, locat-
ing the animal by his howls, hurled the
Wand over the fence.
The noise stopped instantly, and
George went back to bed.
He knew that an awful reckoning
awaited him in the morning, but peace
ut any price was his motto.

So they dropped off to sleep again,
but not for long.
AS the grey dawn crept into the
room they were awakened by howl
that was simply hideous.
The terror-stricken wife sprang from
her couch, and went to the window.
by the dawn's early light she saw
the dog tugging at his chain, while
three inches from his nose lay magni-
cent steak.
She recognized it at once. They were
