Shirt-Waist Girls

Fair any vernal flowers
That illumine a woodland way
With their brilliancy of color,
On a May-time's perfect day,
Are the maidens now before US
With their wealth of tangled curls,
Whom we designate with justice
Springtimes lovely shirt-waist girls.
Man might lose his faith in summer
Were it not for such as these,
Harbingers of rosy June time
With it's fragrance-laden breeze.
When he sees them come, blossoms
On the street, away he hurls
All his doubts of coming mildness,
And he blesses shirt-waist girls.
Woman has more trust that man has,
For she'll wear fine new straw
Ere the last white flake of winter
Has decided when to thaw
Thus they ever lead men onward
So, at least, these maids assever,
Who are known as shirt-waist girls.
Be the skies or fair or cloudy.
They will somehow look the same,
Just a sight to cheer a fellow
Be he losing at life's game.
And If I'd a choice between them
And the c 1t of choice pearls,
] had rath before me
Half a waist girls.

A Boys Grit.

The grit and heroism of two young
Americans were displayed recently in
an accident which occurred in a lumber
yard in New York.
A crowd of small boys were playing
about the towering piles of boards that
face the water front. A dozen of them
were jumping from pile to pile, so feet
or more above the level of the ground.
They struck one pile which tottered
under their combined weight and fell
forward into the river. All of them
jumped for safety excepting 9-year-old
Charles johnson.
He went over with the lumber into
the water, striking in tangle of boards
about 80 feet from the shore. Both of
his legs were broken in two places, but
in spite of the awful pain he was suf-
fering he managed to extricate himself
from the tangle and cling to one of the
boards.
Rudolph Kramer, young man en-
ployed on the pier, saw the lads plight
and jumped into the river to the rescue.
The tide was running strong, but he
fought his way through the debris and
finally reached the little hero.
BE easy with me- the little fellow
said. You'll have to swim me in. I
can't move my legs
Young Kramer with great difficulty
board, where both We're pulled out. The
lad did not give in till he was on dry
land and then tainted

Growth of Labor Unions,

Within the past six months our or
CARNATIONS report vast increase of
membership. More charters have been
issued to local unions and more unions
organized within this period than with
in twice that length of time in the his
tory of the labor movement of our
country.
The workers all through the land
wherever they have been organized
have been the beneficiaries of trade
union effort, and if we all do our duty
to the utmost the immediate future is
full of hope and promise of success.
With more unions formed and more
members in the unions, with more
earnestness, aggressiveness and grit,
we shall increase our organized num-
bers in a greater ratio than ever, and
our movement for full justice will be
accelerated in it's speed and it's achieve
ments be more thoroughly assured

A Bedtime Song.

Sway to and fro in the twilight gray.
This is the ferry of Shadowtown;
1t always sails at the end of day,
Just the darkness is closing down.
Rest, little head, on my shoulder, SO;
sleepy kiss is the only fare;
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and / in the rocking chair.
See where the fire logs glow and spark,
Glitter the lights of Shadowland;
The winter rain on the window-harki
Are ripples tapping upon its strand.
There where the mirror is glancing dim
A lake lies shimmering, cool and still;
Blossoms waving above its brim-
Those over there the window sill.
Rock slow, more slow, in the dusky light,
Silently lower the anchor down;
Dear little passenger say Good night
We've reached the harbor of Shadowtown.

A Mother Seals Long Swim.

A story of the capture of a young
seal recently near Anacapa island, Cal
ifornia, is told by Ernest Whitehead.
The seal was taken on board his
ship. AS the vessel started, the mother
seal was noticed swimming about
bowling piteOusly. The little captive
barked responsibility. After reaching the
wharf at Santa Barbara the captive
was tied up in a jute sack and left
loose on the deck. Soon after coming
to anchor the seal responded to its
mothers calls by casting itself over
board, all tied up as it was in the
sack. The mother seized the sack
and with her sharp teeth tore it open.
She had followed the sloop 80 miles.
