IN THE WOODS
The Indians Not Forgotten on
Memorial Day.
(Prize.)


| Asst Memorial Day l was away from
Il home. Always, on that day, had
to go to the cemetery, and it seemed
very queer not to have one near at
hand to go to. AS we were, at lake
for a month and there was no ceme-
terry there, we conceived a plan to dec
crate something as is the custom on
that day. All along near the shore
were Indian graves covered with wood
en- boxes with small holes in one end.
The Indians buried here, we were told,
belonged to the Chippewa tribe, who
have their reservation on Leech lake.
We were told it is always the custom
of the Indians to place food in these
holes whenever they happen to pass
that way, so as to feed them on the
way to the happy hunting grounds. So
we picked violets, cowslips and other
flowers then in bloom and made
wreaths and bouquets. and decorated
their graves. 1t seemed very odd to
us to decorate Indian graves far out
in the woods. Still we thought the
the poor Indians graves ought to be
decorated as well as those of the white
people. Grace Gillespie,

Il Pleasant Drifting into the
Land of Dreams.
Prize) }

(Prize.
Q ITTING in the shade of the great
- oak trees one sultry afternoon I
found myself drifting away into the
land of dreams. I was being carried
swiftly through the air, and looking
down could distinguish many rivers
and streams, looking like blue ribbons
as they rippled along over rocks and
stones and wound IN and out among
tall trees and high hills. Suddenly
roaring sound came to my ears, and
far below the great waves of the sea
dashed against the sandy shore. I was
beginning to go down, down, the roar
ing sound came nearer and nearer and
then-the waters closed over my
head.
What sight met my eyes! Mer-
maids darted hither and thither, their
golden hair floating in the waves. The
rocks were covered with sparkling
pearls and great palaces of white and
red coral were scattered here and
there. Thousands of fish swan by,
their shining scales glistening in the
light. Mermen chased each other mer-
rily, only stopping behind rocks and
sea plants to gaze curiously at human
being. The sun shone through the
water, casting a greenish shade on
everything around. The sea urchins
and small fish played at hide and-seek
among the sea weeds and rocks, send
ing a shower Of spray behind them as
they swan rapidly from place to
place.
The vision passed, and awaking, I
found I was lying on the soft green
grass, the sun was setting and a cool
breeze just stirred the leaves Of the
trees above me.

IE depths Of the ocean offered greater attractions

from submarine boats and railroads to the more

sir:-Complaint has been made that
favoritism has been practiced by the
Board Of Labor Employment at the
various navy yards, in taking on Ia

that the letter and spirit of the labor
regulations are not carried out.
When the system Of employing me-
chanics and laborers upon merit first
went into effect, it was reasonable to
suppose that those who were to admin
lister the regulations would make some
mistakes, and that the department
would occasionally be called upon to
make rulings and amendments to the
rules, but they have been in force now
for such q period as to prevent the re-
occurrence Of such mistakes. BY care

It is the intention Of the department
to enforce fairly and justly the regu-
lations as promulgated, and to-, ,disarm

the attention of each official at the

At last nights meeting Of the Trades
Assembly the committee on the Chin
ese question made full report on the
present law and asked for its re-enact-
ment. The delegates also voted to ask
for q new charter. bearing the names
Of the present officers of the Trades
Assembly. The old charter was des-
troyed during the Parsons block fire
several years ago, and the matter Of
getting duplicate charter has been
postponed from time to time until last
night when final action was taken The
following Is the report on the Chinese
Question which was adopted:
Federated Trades and Labor Assemb-
ly.
Fellow Delegates. ?:
Being appointed by President Davis
to digest the Chinese Exclusion Act Of
May 5th. 1892, and to make recommen-
dation as to its re-enactment, respect
fully submit the following:
The whole committee met. read and
digested the act and other acts on the
same subject, they pronounced the act
as Just, judtctous, far reaching and
definite, an act possed to protect Amer
ican labor against the cheap Coolie
labor: One penalty for violation Of this
law IL imprisonment for one year ami
although such enables the prison con-
tractor to make use of prison labor to
the detriment of free labor, still the
committee decided that unless there
Is punishment inflicted, the Chinese
will form revolving system of i'm
migration deportation causing an
endless expense to our government, and
in asmuch as said act expires by limi-
tatton May S, 1902. It was decided by
motion that we recommend the Fedora
ted Trades and Labor Assembly to de-
mand the re-enactment of said act for
an indefinite period, that the secretary
notify the senators and congressman Of
our action and forward copy to the
American Federation Of Labor and that
each union within the city take simi-
lar action, so as to thwart the move
ment augmented to prevent the re.en-
actment.
It was reported that ships masters
too frequently engage and employ on
their various crafts Chinese to the det-
rtment Of other labor, that labor on
vessels owned by Americans should re-
ceive the same protection that was ac-,
corded other branches Of industry.
