and the same time and talking nineteen
to the dozen on every topic. A federation
OF mems clubs would of course require
nineteen different conventions to reach
the same conclusions at which the more
agile feminine mind can easily jump.
The most useless piece Of furniture with
which a person can be encountered is with
out doubt middle initial but having one,
the average mortal, be he prince or
peasant, insists upon its being printed IN
italics on every body's memory. Nothing
gives the self-respecting citizen greater
shock than to discover that his cherished
initial is not as generally well known as
President McKinley's, thought it might per-
haps trouble him to give an adequate rea-
son why it should be, That portion OF the
alphabet to which he lays claim is dis
tinctive part of his personality and he
watches iealously lest it fail to receive the
recognition to which he feels it is entitled.
He may not be the only John Smith in ex-
istence, but he appears to think that he is
the only John j Smith, or j. John Smith,
as the case may be, and that there is no
excuse for the world at large remaining in
ignorance of the fact. He can, with some
difficulty TO be sure, forgive careless
correspondent Tor addressing him as John
II but for the local paper to err in the
matter of his noble name is objectionable.
He stares in speeches. rage at the simple
two-line item in which the grievous mis-
take appears, and then, laying aside his
coat and collar, he proceeds to indite an
epistle, the pointed paragraphs of which
are designed to penetrate with rapier-like
thrusts the cuticle of the pachyderm scribe.
He makes it plain-exceedingly so-that
j is his initial and that no other one of the
twenty-six letters can fifty describe him,
and he intimates strongly that if such a
mistake is ever made again. he'll come
down and'stop his paper.

The Connecticut typothetae has passed a
resolution by which employing printers,
after November 81, will grant compositors,
pressmen, book binders, ETC., ten hours
pay for nine hours labor. This measure
was recommended at the national conven-
ton of united typothetae in New Haven
recently, but no binding action was taken.
1t is not anticipated that the example set
by Connecticut will be Immediately fol-
lowed in other states; for employing print
ers, as well as other kinds of employers,
are as a rule more in favor of nine hours
pay for ten hours labor.
