of that new pet of yours?" inquired Squire
Rogers.
Hes a turtle, an honest, open-faced
turtle, and no galloping Bucephalus dis
guised as a donkey answered Eben, sort
of tart like. But while he don't look ike
a spr.nter, will back that turtle in race
against any turtle in Pike county.
"Eben's turtle looked too fat and too
heavy to carry off any honors IN the rae
ing line and the turtle match being a
new game, all the boys took to it. Eben
made a few small bets. l thought he
had things fixed and was looking to see
his pet win, but when Eben set the turtle
down. it blinked its eyes and acted more
as If it wanted to go asleep than engage
in turtle running match. Eden seemed
rt-broken.
How much sharper than a serpents
tooth is an ungrateful land turtle, he
groaned. Raw meat and affection and
good advice have always been that tur-
ties portion, and now he settles down and
sleeps as calmly as if his owners good
money hain't been wagered on his recreant
legs and lazy disposition

upside down and seemed to be giving him

QUIT BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.
Carpenters Union No. 31s Has Had
Enough of 1t.

Enough of 1t.
The dissatisfaction that apparently has
existed for some time among the unions
represented in the Buildin Trades Council
took the form of an open rupture at the
last meeting of the Carpenters and join
ers Union No. SlS, when in a preamble
and set of resolutions it was decided that
inasmuch as I'VE the local Union No. 3l8
of Carpenters and Joiners have reluctant
ly waited for the Building Trades Council
to declare the strike off and the Building
Trades Council having repeatedly failed
to meet al the request of its president, Mr..
G.. W. Gruver, and has furthermore al
lowed its business agents to enter into
gigantic contracting and building business
without the consent of the local unions
whose delegates constitute the Building
Trades Council, we, the members of the
local union of Carpenters and Joiners No.
3l8 deem 1t eminently BETTING that we
should show to the people our unreseryed
d.sapproVal of the selfish and unjust meth
DDS adopted by the business agent which
methods are strictly repugnant to the
tenets of unionism and to our principles.
Resolved therefore, that we, the said
local union, do hereby withdraw and re-
call our delegates from the Building
Trades Council forthwith and forever,
and that we are willing to act with all
trades in any measure that Is just to the
contractors of Savannah, as we'll as our
selves and that VIII establish peace be-
tween the contractors and our union"
The paper further contains Endorsements
of President Gruver of the Building
Trades Council, and President Davis of
the Union No. 31S, also those delegates
who acted with them.
1t contains likewise a vote of thanks
to the Mayor and Aldermen for the grant
ing of a nine-hour law to the city lab

Deacon Todgers reminiscently, time hung

to the habit OF coming down to the tav-

moral element of the community being

boys by getting them to get on races of
various kinds, horses, fast dogs. and fin

could generally hold his own in the bet

all the money he had won from the boys
on other events Of sporting nature.
"Eben always had been given to fuss
ing with electricity, and magnets, and
scientific foolishness. 30 when he didn't
show up at the tavern for a spell, every
one thought he was busy with what he
called his Inventions But one Saturday
afternoon he came TO the tavern carrying
a big overgrown land turtle.

said In answer to the boys questions. No

pretty smooth old codger himself, ran in
a ringer donkey in a race that Eben
thought he had all fixed. The result was
the transfer of wad of bills to the
squire and bunch of experience to Eben.
Eben felt sore at this.
" For an elder of the church 20 run IN

to be limited 10 non-professional Pike

milk of human kindness observed Eben
sadly. I'm good man and a pious, tut

the end, either, but kept on at an increas-
Ing speed until Eben ran and picked him
up. Eben collected his bets, this time
taking about all the money in the crowd.
That turtle isn't a ringer donkey"
he said to Squire Rogers. and he's no ex-
press train. but viewed as a turtle, he's
very fair on the gallop.'
Squire Rogers was clean puzzled.
don't mind losing my bet he re-
marked 10 me in a perplexed way But
what gets me is the actions of that tur-
tie. Man and boy I've known Pike coun-

THAT evening Eben called at the home

his turtle.

to the crowd who were grinning at his
downfall:
Maybe my admonitions and tender
chastenings will touch the heart of this
ungrateful turtle. At any rate we ought
to have another race TO give me chance
to get back my money
THE boys felt il was just like finding
money to bet against that fat turtle This
time Eben held the turtle in his hands
until everything was ready for the start.
Then he placed the turtle on the ground
and gave him little poke. Talk about

The English Language.

One Of the greatest giita Of the Amer
eau people is the English language aud
yet probably ne other gift is abused
more than this one. The ancient Britons
were the hrst peopls known 70 live In
England. They were partly conquered
by the Romans. Since then the SaHone
and Normans have in turn controlled the
island. Each Of these nations eulled cut
the best parts Of the language OF the
former inhabitants, and added them 10
their own. In this way our language
has been purified and soitened down,
until II is one Of tbs best In existence.
But 1t IL unpopular now among certain
classes 10 make the best use Of this care
fully prepared language. Words are
adopted into II which are decidedly i'm
proper. Included In these are slang ez'
pressions which are very prevalent. The
persons using these expressions have an
idea that they give weight 10 the Ian
guage, then they lend II more force aud
make II more impressive. Really the
only Impression LETT on cultivated people
IL that the persons using such language
are Ignorant aud careless. when these
expressions are weighted carefully they
are found TO DO empty and meaningless.
and the persons using them are usually
Of the kind that like to make themselves
conspicuous aud they cover their lack Of
ideas by u proiusion Of words.
Another probably mere severe abuse
~ the Language Is vulgahiy. Who has
listened toitwithout feeling Of repul-
sion9 How can children grow up In
purity vholislen 10 itg The thoughts
Of such persons using It are reflected and
a homcly image IL seen.
The eyll oiswearing Is just no serious.
llow strange II is that the most sacred
vordr known, should he used asa means
q expression malignant desires and evil
wishes for our fellow men. The sacred
names used In this way, perhaps do give
force to the expression, but tits at once
recognized as offensive aud low, Frou
the earliest times II has been strict
command TO swear not at all. In out
lining these evils, ve do not wish 10 as
sumo that We make no such mistal es
but We oiler them 70 cause Ihout Tor ",
believe they arc largely due to careless
ness and lack OF reflection. It lie very
plain that there ia strong need for i'm
proyement in this respect for how car
our ,houts he pure and good II they ar,
