An APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
Financial Aid Solicited In Behnlf of
the strikers.

Phtsburg. Pa. Aug. l2.-Reports
from all the strike centerS indicate
that perfect order prevails, but it is
thought here that clashes are inevita-

attempts are made To put non-union
men on where the strikers have quit
work.
President Shafer, Secretaries Will

ellie. National Trustees John Pierce
und Ben Davis were at strike head
quarters. Mr. ShatIcr was in his
private office and refused to see any
callers. Secretary Williams said;
1--WE are in the fight until an honor
able settlement can be reached. We
are issuing a call to the general pub
lie for financial aid"
The Call for Aid.
Williams gave out copies of the
ciil which reads as follows:
"To the Members OF Organized La
hCr- I'rethren: As YOU are undoubt-
eddy aware, the United States Steele
corporation is now waging war
against organized labor by making
the Amalgamated the subject on
which to begin operations. At our
last convention il was unanimously
decided TO ask the United States Steel
corporation, when settling their an
nual scale with the Amalgamated as
sOciation, to sign or recognize the
scale of the Amalgamated association
in all their mills. When the matter
was preached the matter was per-
cmptorily refused.
After the holding of several con-
feronces, the demand OF our organiza-
ton was modified so as TO take in
only the mills of three of their con-
stituont companies, viz. the Ameri-
can Sheet Steel Co., the American Tin
Plat Co., and the American Steel
Hoop Co., where local lodges had been
foi med and where the men were very
DESTROYS of being union men, and we
are now out on strike for recogni-
ton.

held by the repI esenIatives of the
United States Steel corporation and
the Amalgamated association.the rep

too powerful and that they should
hold the balance of power. Later con-
ferences were held with the heads of
the United States Steel corDoration.
who submitted a proposition that we
sign only for the mills signed last
year, with the exception of the sheet
mills in Salisbury and Scottdale,
which were signed for the year pre-

association would merely have TO re-
main in quiescent state, while they
were expanding and adding to their
non-union possessions.

Riding the Wooden Horse.

Torture ox a grand scale went out
with FELTON,, the assassin of Bucking-
ham, but torture on a small scale con-
tlnued to be practiced ON military of
tenders down to the eighteenth cen
fury. The form most frequently resort
ed to was that known as the wooden
horse, to ride which was the punish
ment accorded for petty thefts, in
subordination and SO on. The wooden
horse was made of plankS nailed to-
gether so as to form sharp ridge or
angle about eight or nine feet long.
This ridge represented the back of the
horse and WAS supported by four posts
or legs about five feet high placed on
a stand made movable by truckles. To
complete the resemblance to the no.
blest animal in creation head and
tail were added.
When soldier was sentenced, either
by court martial or by his commanding
officer, to ride the horse, he was placed
on the brute's back, with his hands tied
behind him, and frequently enough, in
order to increase the pain, muskets
were fastened to his legs to weigh
them down or, as was jocularly said,
to prevent the fiery, untamed, bare
backed steed from kicking him off,

The CamphOr Eater.

1t is surprising what number Of
camphOr eaters there are among the
we'll to do classes. The idea seems to
prevail that this gum, taken in small
and regular doses, gives q peculiarly
clear creaminess of complexion, and
scores of young women buy it for this
purpose. The habit is, moreover, very
difficult to cast off, for camphor pro-
duces a mild form of exhilaration and
stupefaction, and in many instances
where very large doses have been swal-
lowed the habit has become sort Of
slavery.
These camphor eaters all have a
dreamy, dazed and very listless air,
and in most Of them there is an ever
present longing to sleep or at least to
rest. Extreme weakness generally fol-
lows the taking of regular doses, and I
have seen cases where it has been al
most difficult to tell the effects from
those Of alcohol. AS to the complexion,
if a CHASTITY pallor be an improvement
camphor certainly produces it.-Clinic.

Interest in Wisconsin, History,

a convention Of the State Historical
society met in Milwaukee last week.
These meetings-in addition to the reg
ular annual meeting-have been held
in Madison (1S9S) and in Green Bay
$500 and again in Madison last Octo-
Der, when the new library was dedi-
Gated. They are pleasant OCCASIONS
where enthusiasm in state history is
kindled, and especially the older men
enjoy them. Not a few of them were
born in Wisconsin and are full of eye
witness "reminiscences. In a few
years this earliest generation will be
off the scene and these annual inform
al meets give opportunity to get into
permanent form their recollections.
Study of history and interest in the be-
ginnings of things are not time thrown
away by any means; they promote
knowledge and love Of country, and
jealousy to safeguard her welfare.

When "PIuck" Was Slang.

The word ''pluck" affords another in

meet with pluck and ''plucky'' as the

Walter SCOTS "JournaP' shows that in
1927 the word had not yet lost it's low

The ApDian Way.

The famous Appian way, mentioned
by almost every Roman writer, con-
nected the Eternal City with all parts
of south Italy. For many miles from
Rome the space on each side was filed
with sepulchers, many Of them of per-
sons distinguished in history. To have
a sepulcher on the Appian way was
equivalent to being buried in Green
wood, in New York, or Pere la Chaise,
in Paris.

This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
