has a dog called Jack that has qs
yeloped into a genuine tramp, c1ye
less of his associations, and With
deprayed desire to work free lunches
rather than TO eat a warm and ~
spectacle meal ut home. Jack Is .
Skye terrier, with dirty, ragged, ll,s
kempt coat, his one redeeming feature
being q pair Of bright, brown eyes that
sparkle and glisten through the.
tangled hair tumbling over them
whenever he is interested in some
tender morsel he begs you for with
such pitiful muteness.
Jacks star trip was to New York
on Clyde ship. One Of his sport
ing friends got on the boat and Jack
followed. remained there, saw the
sights Of New York for a day or twos
and concluded he wouldrctirn home:
The ships officers tried to run him.
ashore, and after some difficulty sue
ceeded, but he slipped in at night
among the busy trucks and over the
freight plank into the forward hold,
and slowed himself away on q pile
Of guano. When he came forth,
day out. he was a hungry, discoloreds
ill-smelling. and altogether wretched
specimen Of the canine family, and
when. he tried 10 ogle the purser out
Of a square meal, that dignitary said
.'begone.." and poor Jack scurriedi
away, fearing, perhaps, that he was
unwelcome enough to be tossed over
board.
A half hour later, Jack, tail in air,
trotted up TO the same officer, and
laid at his feet whopping big rat,
as much as to say:
look here, old fellow, I'm willing
to work; now come down and give 9
poor dog a bone"
The purser understood the mean
ing of those bright, brown eyes, and
provided Jack with rousing dinner
Jack has been the purser's friend
ever since. He knows his ship, and.
when it is in port frequently calls on
board, rubs his little black nose
against the purser's legs, wags his
little stump of a tail, and trots OIL.
Jack never was ELUSIVE in his demon-
STATIONS of friendship, but in aquiet
way lets his friends know that he is
fond of them.
Jack concluded on another occa-
sion TO go south. He boarded an l.
C. & p. train and landed in Tampa,
loafed around there a day or two,
finally returning to the depot, where
he waited until the same conductor
would so back to where he came from,
got aboard, landed, sure enough, in
Jacksonville. trotted down the street,
shifted around among his friends, and,
day or two later wentto Green Cove.
Since thenhe has visited all thepoints.

For Being Bla enlisted A Relic
of tho A. r. u. Strike.

Before the great A. r. =.
strike in Chicago in 1894 Fred
r. Ketcham was a conductor
in good standing, but when the
strike was ordered he quit his
post of duty and took sides
with his fellow workmen.
Since that time, he, like thou
sands of other men who were
in the strike, has been unable
to hold a job on account of be-
ing blacklisted. He sued the
railroad company that black
listed him and after a legal
fight extending over months
he was yesterday awarded a
verdict in the above amount.
A few more verdicts like this
one may convince the rail
road nillionaires that they do
not own the whole earth and
everything on it. j.

The charter commission
seems thoroughly in sympathy
with the spirit of the amend
ment to the state constitution
by virtue of which it exists.
It's motto is, "Get everything
as far away as possible from
the people-they are not to be
trusted" We admit that past
city councils, even here in Du-
luth, have not been composed
of men of a very high order;
but no aristocracy or oligarchy
was ever any better. The way
to prepare the people for re-
sponsibility is to force it on to
them. Distrust of popular gov
ernment is disease that will
always prove fatal not only to
liberty but also to progress.

THEN OR NOwY

"When am dead, sweetheart" you say,
"Think of me always at my best,
When o'er my head tall grasses sway
And to my deep and dreamless rest
Nor sob nor call nor sneer can pierce
And laud Of tongue and stab of pen,
Though love be leal and hate be fierce,
Are less than nothing to me then.
my poor. pale lips no more can ask
Your gentler thought for fancied wrong
Nor love devise atoning task
And labor in it, glad and strong.
Ignore, then, faults that now you chide.
The hasty word, the careless mien
And causeless heat and foolish pride
Forget, as if they ne'er had been.
"H mem'ry from our past evoke
One moment of divine surprise,
When all the angel in me woke
And you glimpsed Eden in my eyes,;
II l, surcease of care and pain
And fullness to heart famine brought,
In reverie live that time again
And thus enshrine me in your thought. "
And make answer, love of mine:
"Think of me at my best today.
This hour renew surprise divine.
Let Eden's light and fragrance play
Into our lives while they are one.
Why should wait to be forgiven
Till follies and till faults are done
And am out of reach in heaven2
"What chrism has death? The grave what
art
To right all wrong2 Do tears make sweet
The Marah of the human hearth
Beloved, while our pulses beat
With very joy of living, while
I lay my head upon your breast
And drink your words and feel your smile,
Thus-now-think Of me at my best"

Is it not time that the labor
leaders looked up the fate OF
the bill introduced into Con-
gress so long ago and which
was aimed at the suppression
of government by injunction?
Certainly, the magnates are not
doing anything to bring up the
measure and if the working
men do not care to do a thing
in it's behalf it will never be
reused from it's present Kip
Van Wrinkle slumbers. There
was a tremendous to do at the
time of the coal miners strike,
over the writs issued by the
federal judiciary, but those
writs would never have been
issued if the bill to which we
refer had been attended to.
There is something very
strange in the absolute inpos-
sibility of getting the labor
leaders to pay any attention to
this proposed law. Many and
many a good opportunity to
push it has presented itself,
but has not been taken advan-
tage of. Now that the country
has been fully awakened to the
perils of government by in
junction, it behooves the labor.
ing element to look the subject
up. If they go before congress
this winter determined to have
the law enacted, their course
will be generally supported.

Some weeks ago we referred
to the brutality practiced in

Private Hammond. It seems
that our regular army officers
IN addition to the brutal meth
DDS of the savage are given to
the same methods of preserv-

in the Duluth fire department.
Corporal New has just been re-
duced to the ranks because he
gave testimony as to the treat
ment visited upon Hammond.
New has been in the service
over six and a half years, there
is not a blot on his record and
his comrades assert that he is
one of the most popular men
in the company and possesses
their unbounded confidence

be something about what is
called "discipline" that is es-
sentially antagonistic to self
respect and integrity. The

MAY MADcAP's MUSINGS.

I was watching little f1y-not the
last fly of the season. The latter day fly
has learned the knack of hiding near the
steam heater. and continuing in the SER
vice all-year.round. One Of these intel
ligent creatures got stuck on piece of
paper in my room, and the cause of my
watching him was the apparent lack of
feeling which he displayed. Others of
his race were lying about. like G. A. Rs
on field Of battle, yet this selfish little
fly paid no attention to them. He had
needed not their warnings, and now his
attitude and every motion showed that
he thought only of himself. He seemed
the embodiment of selfshness, and if
dared, I would compare him to a crea-
ture with less understanding than he
(having four legs less), but I dare not
moralize.
