The woman repeated her refusal.
DR.. Benin sent for nourishment and
assistance. Mrs. Elizabeth Mcdonald,
matrOn of the Bethel mission, and Miss
Susan Clark came. The little ante
room was made into hospital. The
starving baby was placed on a table
with a law book for a pillow. The
mother did not leave her chair.
1t was too late; the little spark of
life was out before nourishment was
received. The two brothers and the
sister stood by the table and wept
heart-breaking tears. Curiously
enough there IS no law to punish
a mother for starving her baby.

IT'S AIMS ARE NOBLE.
Plan Of the Christian bailders'
Union of Chicago.
Would Restore Harmony Between
Capital and Labor by Making the
Golden Rule the Guide OF
Every T'ransactfOn.

If the Christian Builders union
succeeds in its purpose the time will
come when there will be neither la
Dor unions, strikes nor lock-outs.
Every man in the building trades will
be a teetotaler and a Christian gem
tleman. 1t is hardly expected that
buildings will be erected in Chicago
to an accompaniment of prayer and
psalm singing, but there will certain
ly be praise and thanksgiving if the
new organization aeeOmplishes its
aim, If employers and employees
have differences they will apply the
good old golden rule, and strive with
good will and mediation to reach a
just solution of their difficulties.
Il found l had to quit either my
church or the union," said Henry p.
Berck. a contracting carpenter at
1850 West Harrison street, Chicago,
who has been the prime mover in the
new organization. "At the union
meetings many of the men cursed
and fiourished revOlyers, and as a
Christian man l concluded II was
time for me 10 get out. 1 noticed
also that the old unions worked
against each other, and that many of
the members were addicted 10 drink,
which is the great curse of mankind.
L. seemed TO me that it was time
Christian workingmen got together To
form an organization and do business
on Christian principles.
''Our union started with 60 charter
members, and we have many applica-
tions from men in all parts of Chicago,
and even from other states. Our or

terial, and we shall take in honest real
estate men, though it is hard to find
honest men among them.
"In order to be admitted to full
membership a man must be Chris
tian, but we will take others on prOba
tion. We shall have devotional meet
ings at the churches from time to
time, and we purpose organizing
Catholic branch for the benefit of
members of that church, several of
whom have asked to join. As ali MEM
bers will he Christians, business will
be done on the Christian policy of live
and let live. There will be no strikes
or lockOuts, for if employer and EN-
ploye can't agree they will go their
separate ways. Every member must
sign a pledge promising not to touch,
taste or handle any Intoxicating liquor
while a member of the organization.
We believe liquor to be the cause of
many evils. especially among working
men, and we intend to fight it all along
the line. We shall also discourage the

You ask how our union is going TO
help its members in a material way?
Well, here is printed list of the mem
bers just issued. 1t contains all their
names and addresses, classified by
trades, and contractors are Indicated

from time to time ans will be an inn

We expect members to help their fell

urally prefer TO employ Christian
men. On the other hand, labOring men
can apply to these contractors with
the assurance of receiving Christian
treatment. Members are expected TO
aid each other in finding employment.
# one of them hears of an open job he
will notify some friend in the union
who may be in need of work. In other
words, the union will run on the prin-
ciple of cooperation and Christian
helpfulness. When we are thoroughly
organized we believe it will be possible
to put up building without the labor
disturbances now so common.
Mr.. Berck has been chosen president
C the union. The vice president is C.
D. Hill, a contracting painter at 274
ClaremOnt avenue. The secretary is
Frank Marshall, a carpenter at Har-
vey, and he has an assistant in the per-
son of w. T. Hart, cabinet maker at
Wrightwood and Ayers avenues. The
treasurer is Richard Oates, a car
penter living at PCS Campbell avenue.
President Berck's shop at 1880 West
Harrison street is the headquarters
OF the union.

Italian and RatsIesnake.

An Italian laborer working on the
railroad at Heating. Pa, saw rat
tlesnake coiied under a stone. Not
knowing anything about snakes he
picked the reptile up TO throw it aside,
when the snake struck its fangs in
the mans hand. The Italian contin-
ued working. when his hand began
to swell, which attracted the attention
Of his fellow-workers. He explained
the matter sententionsly in these
words: "Worma bit ma hand. Hurts
like hella. What dO?" An investiga-
tion showed that the "WOrm" was over
four feet long, and a deadly black
rattler. The Italians wrist was tight
ly encircled by heavy piece of cord
and about half an hour later he was
taken to the Office of DIR. J. X. Gilmore,
at WestpOrt. Dr. Gilmore did all he
could for the Italian, and the other
day he was reported out of danger.
The hand had swollen to eight times
its normal size.

The thicker the piece of beef a la

White ieshed fish is more easily

Meat, fish and fowl should be quick

Potatoes, cucumbers, celery or let

ROOSEVELT has his future dea- tiny in his own hands. If he proves equal to the emergency, he will go down into history as a great man. He has always been apt and has made few mistakes, but he has new and largely in creased responsibility and in his deliberations has to follow a wise and judicious statesman whose experience in national affairs covers more than 8 quarter of 8 century. Roosevelt is 8 young man in both years and experience and if he should not do the right thing in every instance it is not to be wondered at. He is honest and courageous and that will go a long ways.
