After Forty Years.

Some years ago several old gentle
men had gathering at the home of.
one of their number in Gloucester.
While they were roaming about the
house their host called the attention of
his guests to an old clock, great ia
vorite of his.
He told his friends of his great at
tachment to this ancient timepiece,
and grew quite pathetic at certain
points in his remarks, which he
brought to a close by saying, in a
voice full Of emotion:
Gentlemen. | have wound UP that
clock every night for more than forty
years"
He had evidently made an impress
ion on his visitors, when an old guest,
who had been carefully examining the
clock, turned the tide of feeling
evoked by the story, by saying, dryly:
"Well. I always did think you were
something of a juggins! That's an
eight-day ockv'-Tid-Bits.

be congratulated that he was born too
late to be called the prince. That title
affixed to the name of a young man
means the grossest of abuse on the

follow him wherever he goes. Let him
be wise and a good fellow and they
grow humorous over him just the
same. Let him submit to interviews
and they misrepresent him. Let him
refuse to be interviewed and they in

ice follows him as naturally as his own
shadow Let the little Grover thank

The London Times says: THE trade
of the Mexican republic is increasing
with considerable rapidity. Last year
the imports amounted to f9,395,541,
against E7249,O09, while the exports
were FIJI, $50 900, against Eli, 900 the
preyious year. The increase in i'm
ports was spread over all staples, but
was chiefly marked in the case of iron
and steel and in machinery and nipple
ments. British imports were greater
in 1896 than in 1895, yet they only
amounted to IL per cent of the whole
imnort trade in 1896, while they were
10 ner cent the year before. The i'm
norris from the United States, on the
other hand, were 521a per cent OF the
import trade of Mexico, against 40 per
cent in 1895. This, our consul at Mex
;co observes. should warm British mer-
chants and manufacturers that unless
they soon make a serious effort they
will have to give up all hope or proIt-
ing by the increase in the Mexican lln-
mort trade. and may even lose part OF
tbo very limited share of it they at
nresent enjoy The trade in textiles
generally. in which England has so tar
held her own, becomes each year
smaller proportion of the import trade,
owing to the improvement in domestic
manufactures; metals and machinery
on the other hand, are every year
growing more important.

The Sheet Metal Workers Convention De-
cides to Secede from the Federation of
Labor and Join New Organization.
CINCINNATI Feb. 1.-THE Interna-
tional Sheet Metal Workers Amalga-
mated association yesterday by unani-
nous vote indorsed the proposed ma
tional building trades council, thus re-
nouncing allegiance to the American
Federation Of Labor. This pledging OF
5000 timers and other sheet metal
workers to the new project seemingly
assures its success, as the building
trades unions of most of the leading
cities of the country have already for
mally favored it.
A startling statement made at the
convention by President R. M. Ryan, of
st. Louis, was that an important docu-
ment bearing on the trouble between
Union No. 1O2 and the independent or
ganization of iron workers in New
York City had mysteriously disap-
peared from among other papers OF his
while he was on the floor OF the con-
vention of the A. +. l.. in this city re-
Gently. This was the formal applica-
ton of Union 102 for a charter and had
been originally presented by President
Gompers.
The New York trouble will be fur
ther considered to-day The indepen-
dent organization refused to send a
representative to the hearing but has
sent written statement, as has the j..
L. Mott iron works, where the trouble
originated.
An amendment was adopted increas'
ing the initiation fee from SIS to SIS.
Another proposed amendment which is
likely to carry is the doing away with
annual conventions and holding instead
biennial or called ones.
