A STRIKE from an unheard-of quarter is

Union of that city has ordered out all the

doing all in their power to prevent new
girls from being brought into the city. The
union some days ago decided that $12
month was not enough, and made demand
that all girls, irrespective of their ability,
be paid $40 a month. Many of the employ
ers refused to come to these terms, and
general strike was ordered. The girls are

fight until successful. They are materially
aided by the fact that girls are scarce both

The Course of True Love.

The reason why young lovers are SO
happy after they have had a quarrel is
thus to be accounted for: He think she
is an angel and she feels quite sure
that he is unlike any other man in the
world. Therefore when each flares up
and shows proof of being an average
mortal, the discovery causes each to
rejoice; for people who are angels or
who are unlike anybody else must be
disagreeably eccentric.
