HENRY A. HICKS, @. M. w.

Picture of the New Chief Chosen by the
knights Of Labor.
Henry A. Hicks, of New York city,
who was elected at Louisville, Ky, by
the General Assembly Of the Knights
Of Labor to succeed James r. Sover-
eign, resigned, as General Master
Workman, has been something of
conservative factor In that organiza-
ton, SO much SO that until recently he
had been heard of but little in some
years. He Joined the Knights Of La
Dor not long after 1880 and for time
was active in the councils Of the order.
He was at an early day selected as q
delegate to District Assembly 40. He
Interested himself In the Henry George
campaign of 1886 and since then has
been, perhaps, known more as Labor
Socialist than as a X. of L. worker.
He is at present National Committee
ple's party. His belief was In arbitra-
ton rather than the strike as a means
OF settlement of the disputes arising
between capital and labor. 1t Is not
therefore surprising that the Knights
of Labor did not regard him, at the
time of his first prominence, as pro
gressive." When the "progresslves"
pushed their ideas forward he retired
from active participation in labor agi-
tation, but has come to the front
again recently.
Hicks is a native American. is As
years old and Is married. His trade
| is that Of a stair-builder and his pres
ent work experimenting the new
bulldogs. lie was chosen to represent
the stairbuilders In District Assembly
253, K. Of L.. in 1887, az Master
Workman. He instigated movement
for the consolidation OF local assem-.
blies into State assembly, and the
project was carried into effect later on. e.
In 1890 he was selected to succeed
George Warren as Master Workman of
Building Constructors District Assem-
bly, 253. Afterward he became Presi-
dent of the State Congress of District
and Local Assemblies, knights of La
Dor. He has been for number Of
years delegate to the General Assem-
bly,.

Itlakeley's Choice.

william Blakley, living on North
Thirteenth street, Terre Haute, Ind,
lies in st. Anthony's Hospital Grip
pie for life. On recent night he kiss
ed his wife good-by and went to work
a we'll and hearty man. That he Is a
brave man there are half a dozen en-
ployees of the Vandalia who can bear
testimony. At S:2o William Blakley
faced death. He had less than quar-
ter OF minute in which to decide
whether he would be carried home
dead of whether he would be cripple
for life.
Blakley is a conductor in the yards
Of the Vandalia. He has been with the
company for two years, and was a
trustworthy employee. For n long
lime he has been in charge Of switch
ing crew, his work being in the net
work of tracks about Thirteenth
street. His engine was backing cut
Of cars down the "Y" just west Of
Thirteenth street. Blakley was riding
On the car, and it was the intention
to push the cut down to where there
were some other cars waiting to be
taken out. When within few yards
Of the cars 1t was intended to take
out Blakley jumped off and ran down
the track.
In some manner he caught his foot
in a switch frog. The train was slow
ly backing in and when he first fell
Blakley was on the track. With great
presence of mind he threw his body
off the rail and then tried to release
ais foot. He gave it several jerks, but
It seemed to become wedged in all the
lighter. AS he was standing his body
was exposed, and there was danger Of
his being knocked dowr and cut in
two. Realizing that he must either be
killed or have his foot cut off, he
chose the latter, and, turning, he
threw himself on the ground again and
! in another second the car wheels had
passed over his foot, cutting it off.
The shock rendered him unconscious
for time, but he was soon revived
and the police wagon called.

THE DEBUT OF MRS. LEASE.
Went Into Politics After Her Husband Had
Declined to.

This Is how Mrs. Lease went into
politics: In 1890 the Farmers Alliance
sprang into existence, and Mrs. Lease
wanted her husband to join the move
ment and become politician. But he
declared that he was not of the stun
of which politicians are made, and sug"
gested that she go into 1t herself and
leave him In peace. MRS. Lease had
never thought of entering politics, but
she consented to try it. How, when
and where to get the first speech of
was the puzzle. Finally neighbor,
Dixon, was taken int> the deal, and he
arranged 1t so that Mrs. Lease could
appear before the next Farmers ALI
ance County Convention and make
talk. She was there on the appointed
day, and as soon as her name was men
toned she rose and made bee line to
the stage. Her maiden speech, they
say, was a stemwinder. She was the
sensation OF the hour, and before that
campaign was over Mrs. Lease was the
best advertised politician in Kansas.

Tea Drinking.

Tea is an agreeable stimulant, quick
ening intellectual operations, removing
headache and fatigue and promoting
cheerfulness and sense of well be-
ing. A cup Of tea now and again is a
most refreshing and excellent thing,
but when 1t is used to excess the di-
gestive and nervous systems are espe-
cially affected, There is no doubt
that there are cases of dyspepsia caus-
ed by the inordinate use of strong tea,
and it is also matter Of common OBJ
servation that sleeplessness, palpita-
tion of the heart, and nervous irrita-
bility often follow the prolonged and
excessive use of this beverage. People
who drink tea to excess are to be found
IN all classes Of society, and the fact
should be impressed upon such per-
sons that tea Is not food, and cannot,
therefore. without risk to the health,
be substituted for articles Of diet which
form both flesh and bone.

No boy is likely to remain on the
farm after reaching the age when he is
entitled to regard himself as being at
his own disposal, unless farm life fur
nishes a reasonable amount Of enjoy
mcnt of the good things of life, nor
will he remain if farming, as he knows
it, and as he has been taught to see it.,
is a failure as business and the farm
a failure as home. What are you do
ing to keep your boy on the farm?

A Vital Question.

The women Of fashionable Congre-
gational Church in Cleveland, Ohio,
took their hats off before service Sun
day evening, and their pastor thanked
them from the pulpit for doing so. All
good enough. But women the world
over will want to know what disposi-
ton was made of the hats.

Farm-House Interior Economy,

The improved labor-saving appliances
that should be found in every farm
house are quite inexpensive as COM
pared with farm machinery, yet on
many farms that are well equipped
outside, household facilities are sadly
lacking.
