"The hardest won bet l ever made"
remarked the travelling man as he
shook the ashes off his cigar. was to
carry four bricks half mile. That
sounds like simple thing to do,
doesn't it? Well, you try it and you
will find out whether il Is or not. OF
course the manner of carrying the
bricks Is important. "A man bet me
that / couldn't carry two bricks in each
hand from where we were back TO the
hotel and put them up on the bar. The
bricks were to be put side by side and
grasped, two I'm each hand, between
the thumb and fingers, the fingers
pointing down. l was not allowed to
stop and rest, nor to put the bricks
down.
"Well. thought l. that's 50 easily
earned, so ! took the bet and started.
For quarter of the distance it was
easy and l already felt those two sill
yer dollars in my pocket. But then my
fingers began to grow tired. The mus
cles between my forefngers and
thumbs were soon aching terribly. My
like mad I found myself setting my
teeth together and the cords in my
neck were in high state of tension.
When | came within n hundred yards
Of the hotel there was scarcely an inch
in my whole body that was not aching
as if had been stuck full Of pins.
81 don't know how / managed to go
that last little distance. | could no
longer stand erect. and was trembling
like leaf, and yet the other fellow
was alongside, laughing as if to split his
sides. And when | got into the bar
room. it was all could do to raise first
one hand and then the other and put
the bricks on the counter. / know that
l couldn't have gone 80 feet farther
l got the 50, but the next day / could
scarcely move. and | didn't get over
the soreness for week. 1t looks easy
but just you try it."-Detroit Free

and the following poem read by Mrs. f..
III. Browne:
When first your bidding came, dear friends,
We feared that could not attend
Your golden celebration,
But changed our minds, and here we are,
To greet this golden welded pair
And bring our graduation.
And can il be that fifty years
OF Joys and griefs, of smiles and tears,
Have passed since that bright day
When bonnie lass and stalwart lad
Each other took for good or bad,
That pledge renewed to-day
j. Glance back TO nifty years ago,
When little girls were taught to sew,
And Howe and Singer dreamed,
We made by hand our wedding gowns
And frilled and Aounced them round and round
BY tallow candies CLEAN
Then, no bright woman dared to preach,
But in some country school to teach
Was then her high ambition;
But she might knit and spin and sew.
Ont of her sDhere she must not 90
To better her condition.
Those days are but memory now,
For steam drives swiftly loom and pillow,
And knits the babys stocking;
We've teegraphs and telephones,
Eclectric lights, and audiphones,
But the women! why, Ills shockinei
Although they write, and preach, and pray
And climb up higher every day.
To make this Old world better,
The cigarettes, and beer aud wine,
With politics, a foul combine,
Bind fast each woman S letters.
Bat now dear friends, you're growing old.
There's silver threads among the gold"
They tell their own true story
OF work we'll done, of toll and care,
Each with other bore a share,
While neither claimed the glory.
And we would pray that coming years
Bring TO your eyes more smiles than tears,
Till in your sunsets glow,
Your souls bereft of faithess fear
Shall washed and purified appear,
As white as snow.

HAVING TROUBLE.

The Great Lakes Towing Company Unable
Thus far to secure Complete Control.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 4.-The
syndicate managers of the Great Lakes
Towing Company are holding daily
meetings here in an attempt to af-
feet an organization. They find now
that the deal has been pushed with
such rapidity that there are great
many things to be done before the or
ganization has been completed. The
Intention of the company was to join
under the one management, all of the
towing companies of the lakes, but
the committee that was sent out 10
purchase the property. failed to do its
part and the present trouble resulted.
So far there are three big companies
which have not consented to enter the
general movement. They are the Dun
ham Towing Company, of Chicago, and
the Mayhem and Johnson Towing
Companies, Of Buffalo. There is even
unite and buy in all of the wild" tugs
on the lakes and enter into active OPP
position to the trust The Great Lakes
Company is now trying to avoid this
and the discussion of the plans is caus-
ing the present delay The list of officers
has already been made out for the
trust, but it is likely to be altered to
make room for one of the disaffected
tug managers. The slate as made out
provides that Captain James Devidson,
of West Bay City, shall be president;
t. +. Newman, general manager OF
the Cleveland & Buffalo Transit Com
pany, secretary treasurer, and w. A.
Collin, manager of the Vessel Owners
Towing Company, of Cleveland, gen.
eral manager 1t is expected that the
syndicate managers will get to the
point of electing the officers in few
days.

Workers Association Convention suits
brought by individual members against
various companies to show cause why
the latter's charters shall not be re-
voked, were ratified. The suits are part
OF the Workers plans to prevent GER
tain large manufacturing concerns in
the State of Indiana from selling out
to the Trust. The full strength of the
Association has been pledged to bring
the suits to successful issue. Presi-
dent Simon Burns, of the Glass Work
ers' Association, said tonight: We
have taken an entirely new departure,
and instead of waiting for the trusts
to fight us we have determined to fight
them The matter, he said, had been
given careful consideration by the AS
ISOLATION, and it was thought at one
time to attack the trust in New Jersey.
This was subsequently reconsiderec
and Indiana selected as the battle
ground by reason of the fact that the
antitrust law of that State afford the
best aid for successful contest.
The wage committee to-day sent an
other notice to the American Glass
Company that they would not wait UNI
TIL August Is to meet the manufacture
ers, and setting August Z, and as
the dates for the conference. If these
dates are not accepted they will at
once present the new scale to the man-
ufacturers.
