THE FRIEND OF LABOR.
r. J. MOORE IS PRESIDENT OF THE
TRADES UNION.
Well Known Trustee of the Painters
Union In Toledo.


MANY OTHER woRKINGMEN HAVING THB
SAME STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE.
The panic just past bore hardest upon
the working men and women.
Theirs has been the greatest worry.
They have had to labor harder than
ever to support their families. Today
there are thousands of overworked and
overworried people struggling along,
many Of them under the burden ofdys-
pepsia, or insomnia, unhappy and fret
full, but not helpess-as Mr. Moore
shows.
Those who awake more tired than
when they went to bed, with an unplcas-
ant taste in the mouth, and the tongue
parched coated and dry, know one OF the
signs of ovcrwork.
A poor appetite for breakfast, at times
complete distaste for all kinds OF food
(even The little reluctantly taken produc-
ing general discomfort -these symptoms
demand sober thought. Today it is
known that the nerve centers govern all
the processes throughout the body. Per-
feet digestion and assimilation require
that the nerves work in harmony with
the digestive apparatus. And it was on
this recent highest medical information
that Paine's celery compoud, the medi-
icine that makes people well, was first
prepared. To all who are overworked,
the following letterirom Mr.. 7. ]. Moore
tells a story that should be read and
needed. 1t is from one of the plain peo-
pie:
81 am greatly pleased with the good
results obtained from the use OF
Paines celery compound. Previous
to its use doctored with two of the best
doctors here, and my health was not
improved in the least by the treatment
| received. On the recommendation OF
a friend | procured bottle of Paiuc's
celery compound, and before had used
one bottle noticed an improvement in
my health, and decided to continue its
use and give the medicine fair trial.
have about finished the fourth bottle
and have almost entirely regaiued my
old-time health and vigor. My ailment
was a disordered stomach, and my
whole system was out OF order. My ap-
petite was poor and very irregular, and
as an old friend whom met on the
street expressed it, after enquirlng about
my health when was under the doctors
care, o, you are a gonerl' But my i'm
proved condition has convinced him OF
his ineficiency as a medical examiner and
prophet"
Mr.. Moore is a citizen of Toledo, and
lives at 2109 Finch street in that city.
He is president of the trades council and
trustee of the painters union. "He
stands high with all union men" says
the Toledo Blade.
A careful man or woman either keeps
Paines celery compound on hand, or
knows just where he can easily procure
it.
1t is the remedy that makes people
well 1t has shown itself to be an ideal
remedy in cases where nutrition is an I'M
portant factor, and where digestion is
feeble.
1t is as far superior to the ordinary
nerve tones and sarsaparillas as the
diamond is to the ordinary glass. Pry
it and be convinced.

ficers and clerks receiving regular
salaries contribute two and hall
per cent of their stipends to a super
annuation fund. Upon retirement
each receives as pension percent
age of his salary, that percentage
varying with length of service; after
thirty years service it amounts to
half his salary. There is also pro-
vision for death. Another fund
provides pensions for the wage.
earncrs. When it is remembered
that railway servants of all classes
in England receive much less pay
than our own men, these sums are
very liberal and are to be measured
bv the small payments required. II
a man leaves the company's service
in good faith he receives back his
own contributions only. If he is dis
charged for fraud or dishonesty he
forleits the whole, at the option OF
the company. In this simple plan Of
insurance may be found one OF the
reasons for the excellent discipline on
the English railways. The com
pany testihes to its interest in its
employees by contributing to their
insurance from its own earnings. In
the United States, unfortunately,
there has grown up a feeling OF
antagonism between the corpora
ton and the employee. What can be
done to bring these two great
forces into better sympathy with
each other? The plan of insurance
against death, disability and old
age, through the help of the COM
pany, would do much to bring about
a reconciliation, to say nothing of
the relief to the injured from the
point Of view Of humanity En-

A sUphRsrITIOUS VILLAGE.

An old woman in a village near
Salzburg recently died. Her death
gave great satisfaction to the other
villagers, for she was looked upon as
a witch, and feared accordingly.
After the funeral, several of the chief
inhabitants repaired to the Wirths-
chaft to celebrate suitably the relief
experienced at getting this danger
our person safely under ground; but
while they were sitting drinking
pleasantly, in came a messenger to
say that the COW of one of those
present, neighbor Of the deceased,
had died suddenly without any APP
parent cause The meeting, horror
stricken, adjourned in body to ex-
anime the COW, and unanimously
agreed that the animal had been be-
witched. No doubts were enter
tanned as to the perpetrator of the
deed. Evidently burying was not
enough to stop this dangerous old
LADY and it was decided, after earn
est discussion, to adopt the plan of
making horse jump over the
wlch's grave, and thus put an end
to her powers. A horse was accord
ingly fetched, but, strange to say,
nothing would induce him to jump
over the grave. This incontestable
proof of the unholy influence eman-
ating from the spot caused the pub
lie excitement to increase. The may
or of the village decided to use a
somewhat drastic means, much in
favor in the Middle Ages, viz, to
stab the witch's body with red hot
pitchlork. The body was exhumed
the fork heated, and the whole cere-
mony carefully carried out. But by
the time the company had finished
their work, and gone back to refresh
themselves at the Wirthschaft, the
authorities OF the neighboring town
had heard of what was going on.
A party of mounted police were sent
to the village, and all those who had
been concerned in the affair were
taken into custody London Ex-

INSURANCE FOR RAILWAY EN-
PLOYEES.

1t is little surprising that no
American road has adopted the
English system of insurance for en-
ployees. The Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio have excellent
relief departments, under which the
funds of The men are administered bv
the companies, free of charge. A
number of roads have built hospitals
and employed surgeons for the care
OF those injured while all COM
panies spend money for the relief of
disabled employees in various ways.
Yet it is all indefinite and somewhat
of the nature OF charity; it forms no
part of the implied contract of en-
ployment. When the employers
liability act was passed in England,
the British railways took alarm
needlessly, as it has turned out.
They instituted departments for
insurance against accidents, death
and old age. Membership was
made compulsory and servants had
to waive their rights under the act.
In return, the companies agreed to
contribute to each fund an amount
each year equal to the total contri-
button ofthe employees. These funds
are managed by committees formed
from railway officers and servants,
and the scale of payments is figured
out by actuaries according to the
statistics OF accidents in past years.
These accidents have now ac.
cumulated balances amounting to
several millions of pounds sterling.
In the accident department, for ex-
ample, each trainman pays six cents

While Jesse Miller was digging a
post hole preparatory to charging

box. Thinking he was about to
.unearth a treasure, he carefully re-
moved the box, taking off the lid.
Instead of finding n sum of money
the bones ofan infant were revealed.

years ago is suspected of having
buried the corpse there. = Vest

4 Lambs Ride on a COwcatcher.

A rather singular incident Occurr-
on the Savanna, Florida and Western
Railway the other day. 1t was
about forty miles from Waycross on
a through train to Chattahoochee.
On the track just in front of the
engineer, Mr. DuBose, saw sheep
with a young lamb. 1t was too late
to stop the engine and the train
passed on, having mutton in its
wake. Arrived at Waycross, the
engineer descended from the engine
and saw the lamb alive and unhurt
on the cowcatcher. 1t had been
carried forty miles without a scratch.

man had a younger sister by the
name of Jessie, who was sent to a
fashionable boarding school. When
she went away he remarked that he
hoped she wouldn't acquire any of
the affections so often acquired in
such places. For a long time he
had no fault to find upon this score.
Then came letter signed "Jessica, -
instead of ''Jessie." He replied as
follows:
