Missouri has been called the 'sPuke
State. This disrespectful and almost
vulgar designation is said to have the fol-
lowing explanation: In 1927 lead in great
quantities was discovered at Galena, in
Illinois, and such numbers of Missourians
, went from their own State over into Hi
nois to work in the lead mines that the
people of Illinois facetiously observed that
Missouri had puked its inhabitants over
into Illinois. For some inexplieable reason
the name struck the public fancy, and, in
spite of the objections of Missourians, it
chung to the State.
Among the many things that Japan Dor
roged from China was football, said to have
been introduced as early as the middle of
the seventh century. The Emperor Toba
III was an expert player and got up club
at his palace.

The Good Old Times.
From the Chicago Times.

1t is frequent habit of the moralists,
as well as of sociological students, to sigh
for the 'good old times and to compare
the morals and manners of the present day
with those of the days of our grandfathers
and grandmothers. The smartness, and
fastness, and boldness of modern society
more than once have furnished themes for
poets and essayists as well as for the pull
and have been placed in contrast with the
modesty, and dignity, and propriety of those
old days-so often, in fact, that we have
come to regard our forbears as patterns of
exemplary conduct.
1t is refreshing, however, now and then
to find testimony that some of the grand
mothers were no better than some of their
descendants Testimony of this sort is
contained in a letter which was sold in an
autograph sale in New York the other day.
1t was written at London in 1775 by So
phia Montagu, wife of the English Adj
miral who commanded on the North Amer
lean Station Lady Montagu had been to
supper and with feminine frankness and
enthusiasm describes it to friend
1t was the best supper she ever "supt
at Every one was drunk, 'on my con-
science, but she did not consider that any
matter, e'for we were good company
Then Lady Sophia gives description of
London ladies in general ''They turn
day into night and night into day and are
seas mad as March hares She thinks
their dress is preposterous. They 'paint
and pinch their bodies in tight stays till
they sink, for to be very small at bottom
and hanging over at top is quite the fash
ion. No natural color is another fashion,
and 'sfeathers fifteen inches long in the
head is another Lady Sophia's letter
closes with this sweeping Indictment of
social life Inconsistency, the fashion;
separation, the fashion; to be with any
body but your husband, at the top of the
fashion.
Familiar as it all sounds, this is not a
picture of society in 1901, but in 1775, a
time to which we are referred so often for
social practices which should be initiated
by society today Were the old times any
better than the new times Were they
as good ? Those who abuse modern man
ners and society must go back of 1775 to
find their ''good old days. But they
cannot find them this side of the fall of
man and the Punishment from the Garden
of Eden

ETTINGER WINS.
Popular Secretary of Cigarmakers'
Union In Elected Delexate.

Popular Secretary of Cigarmakers'
Union In Elected Delegate.
After a spirited contest for the elec-
ton Of a delegate to the next conven-
ton Of the International Cigarmakers'
Union. which will be held at Baltimore,
Matt Ettinger was chosen over two
other contestants. The International
union holds conventions every five
years. All the work in the meantime
is done through initiative and referen-
dunn with remarkable success. The
cigarmakers Is truly a democratic or
ganization. They are demonstrating
what can be done by the same system
in our government. Anything done at
the convention is referred back to the
unions for their adoption.
Matt Ettinger, the delegate from Du-
luth, is one Of the Oldest members in
the union here. He was the first dele
gate to the Trades Assembly, many
years ago, and has been in the harness
ever since. He is financial secretary of
his local union, and has been for years.
He IS just as steady as q clock, and a
::badly bent" c1garmaker always knows
where to find him. His office is really
that Of banker. The cigarmakers have
a loan system, and when making a loan
their, card is deposited, the same as
note with bank. The card is the only
security, and it is a good one too The
expense of sending delegates to the
convention is borne by the International
union. It is said that the coming con-
vention will cost the union about $40, ZOO.

The Clerks union is on the mend.
At a meeting held last Monday even
Ing 26 new members were initiated.
Twelve of them came from Burrows
and thirteen from the New Store. The
new members will be supplied with
their cards early next week.. This is
the fnal act that makes the Great
Eastern store throughout g. strictly
union house, even Gene Watts, the
popular boot black, is a member Of the
Porters' union. Mr.. Burrows will not
only from now on insist that his clerks
join the union, but he will carry full
and complete line of first class union
label clothing.
The New Store is the only dry goods
store In the city, especially among the
department stpres. that has union
clerks. This has been due largely
through the influence Of the Labor
World. Both Mr.. Talent and Mr..
Hendren, of the firm, are friends Of
organized labor, and they have demon
strated it in more ways than one. The
very fact that they have insisted that
their clerks Join the Clerks union is
sufficient evidence that they intend be-
ing not only friends, but supporters Of
trade unions. What is organized la
bors duty in the premises? It Is to
give these firms proper encouragement,
to ask for the clerks card, and to buy
from no clerk uni ess he or she can
show clear and up-to-date card. La
boring men should tell their wives Of
the action of those firms that are en-
plOying union clerks and have them
patronfze only such stores that do so.
There is an excellent opportunity Of
fered for the revival of old time trade
unionism. How many trade unionists
will help to build up the movement. Let
each member do his duty, and we will
have no fear of the result.
