GENERAL MILES ON LABOR.
A Nations Duty to Protect and Pro-
mote the Totiers' Interests.

A Nations Duty to Protect and Pro-
mote the Toilers' Interests.
Pittsburg, July Major General
Nelson A. Miles, who is in the city as
the guest of all organized labor" had
a busy time yesterday sight seeing,
holding receptions and addressing
meetings. In the course OF General
Miles address at the Opera House last
night he said
Labor has been gradually ascend
ing to higher plane, to the clear sun
light of reason and progressive
thought. 1t is being more intelligen''y
directed and better utilized, more re-
spected and more highly appreciated.
There was time when there was n
far wider gulf between him who toiled
and him who did not than there is to
day.
at is possible that sometimes our
advantages and institutions may not
BIO fully appreciated.
"If there is any body OF people in the
United States that constitute the
strongest patriots 1t is that body OF
men who toll and seek honest occupa-
ton for the benefit of themselves and
their families. They cherish the in
situations of their country, and have
witnessed the grandest manifestation
of their patriotism. No national duty
is of more vital importance than that
to protect and promote the toilers OF
this great nation in all that can con-
tribute to their welfare and pros
perity,"

Suspiciously Soothing.

The Very Rev. A. X. II. Boyd, recently
deceased, in his book, Last Years of st.
Andrews" tells the following amusing
little stories. Referring to letter from
an exile in this country, telling how its
writer went to his room each Sunday
morning and read aloud one of Dr..
Boyd's sermons, the reverend gentleman
said, as one greatly needing help, he was
thankful il it helped him, but he recalled
what dear old sufferer in his Edinburgh
congregation told him, with the kindest
intention:
when | can't sleep at night said
she, II say to my husband. oh. read me
one of my dear minister's sermons! And
he has not read five minutes when am
sound asleep
The dear minister" said, Of course,
that he was delighted to hear it, although
it was not wholly for that purpose the
b sermons were published.
rta,or. Lindsay Alexander Of Edinburgh
had a similar compliment paid him, Dr.
Boyd goes OH to relate. He went to visit
n restless sufferer, a good woman, and
her friends asked him to read chapter
of the Bible to her. This he proceeded to
do. In u few minutes she was sound
asleep.
"Ah," said one of her friends, "see the
soothing power of the word!'

wouldn't Scarce

He looked as il he had not seen a cake
Of soap for several days, and the soft
blue of his eyes looked like bit of sky
cleaning from sullen clouds. He was a
little fellow Of perhaps II years, but he
was walking down Woodward avenue as
IL he had the world at his feet, whistlng
"My Girls a Highborn Lady" with all
his might. When he came to the he'd of
pansies in the Grand Circus park, he did
not stop, but walked deliberately along
to the end of the bed and on to the grass.
Then he stopped down and reached over,
picking one of the flowers.
Here, what are you doingT shouted a
passer by who wanted to scare the little
fellow.
"Picking pansies," was the reply, and
he picked several more blossoms.
Don't you know that that Is against
the law? The policeman will arrest you
IL You don't look out"
"Ah go on. You can't scare me. This
amt no April fool day, and they ain't no
copper around. These Is for my girl"
This last was said with sarcastic grin.
Then he gathered up his handful of pan
sizes and started on down the avenue
whistlins My Girls q Highhorn Lady"

Fears a Grasshopper Plague.

Minneapolis, July 1,-Professor Otto
Lugger, of the state agricultural col

announcement that he has discovered
migratory white mountain grass
hopper, and he fears another plague
similar to the one of several years ago
The professor said 1.-THE presence OF

We sEAT THE TRUsT.


BY . WAeelnaker.
II don't care to mention Names" said
q visitor from New Jersey, but this IL
an absolutely true story of how one man
at least beat big trust at It's own game.
He was at the head Of a small concern
making-let us say-car wheels that's
not exactly it. but pretty nearly, and
about year ago be got private hint
that the other car wheel people were ar
ranging combine. He said nothing, but
Immediately communicated with several
of the largest consumers, and by offering
confidentially reduction of about 10 per
cent secured advance orders that would
occupy him over two years to NIL, run
ming at full capacity. At the price named
every wheel would he made at a loss, and
his partners were badly scared. He told
them to keep their mouths shut and wait.
an few months the trust was organ
ised, according to programme, and one
dag bland agent dropped in and offered
him a fair price for the plant. He said
he didn't care to sell. The trust there
upon proceeded to put on the screws in
the usual fashion. In other words, they
cut rates, but, strange to say, the little
matchmaker didn't seem to care. Then
they made another and much larger cut
with the intention Of freezing him out at
one fell swoop.
"That was Just what he was waiting
for, and through third party he Instant
ly placed orders covering all the con-
tracts he had made at q figure that left
him handsome margin Of profit. With
out suspecting that the large orders came
from their intended victim, the trust peo-
pie became alarmed at the losses incur
red in the freezing out process and made
him another and much better offer for his
plant, which he promptly accepted.
"Now the trust has the concern and is
Obliged to run it day and night to make
wheels at 25 per cent under actual cost
for the man it tried to ruin, As fast as
he gets them he turns them over on his
contracts and reaps the intermediate
profit, while, needless to say, the trust
magnates howl with anguish every time
they make delivery. The little wheel
maker got enough out Of the sale OF the
plant to retire for life, and he is carrying
out the rest of the campaign merely for
sport. He says it's great fun to see
trust on the gridiron. New Orleans

General Otis Kills Y Rumor

Kansas City, July 1.-The Journal
prints a telegram from Brigadier Cen
eral Harrison Gray Otis, Of Los An
geles, in which the Californian states
positively that there is no truth in the
report that he is on his way to Wash
ington to succeed Secretary Alger.
General Otis avs; II have never been
an aspirant for that high honor, nor
have l any information that my an-
pointment to the secretaryship Is be-
ing even considered by the president

How Trusts Affect Drummers

Albany, July president Dove, in
his annual address to the Commercial
Travellers association, in convention
here, dwelt on the effect of trusts upon
commercial travellers. He declared
that he had obtained from the best
possible and most reliable sources that
$4,000 commercial travellers had been
thrown out of work through trusts
and that $4,000 more had had their
salaries reduced. 1T would be to our
interest he said, ito see whether any
one Of the great political organizations
deserves our approval"

A TRAVELLING POST OFFICE
One of the Latest Experiments o
the Government being Tried
In Maryland.

The first real "traveling post ofhce'
started on its rounds this month II
Maryland. says Youths Companion
1t is IA stout covered wagon, manned by
driver and postal clerk. which viii
leave the town OF Westminster every
weekday morning, make circuit o.
more than 80 miles through the sur'
rounding country and return to West
minister al night.
There are eight village post offices on
the wagons route. The travelling post
master will carry mail TO them and re
ccive it from them. His wagon is fitted
with cases and pigeonholes, so that ht
can assert mail while he travels; and he
will deliver mail to all residents nlone
the road who will take the trouble tt
put up letter boxes or to wait for the
wagon" He will be authorized, more
over, to sell stamps, register letter.
and issue money orders; and, rail
road town being the terminal OF his cir
cult, the conjunction of the travelling
post office and the railway mailcar will
bring the farmer and the outside worlo
very near together.
This travelling post office is, we neet
hardly add, one of the experiments by
which the government is trying to
solve an imperative problem-that o:
rural mail delivery. II the plan sue
ceeds a long step will have been takeT
