There is more Catarrh in this section of tho
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctorz
pronounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney Il Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Chambers Grove.
The Labor Day committee held a
meeting Wednesday evening in the
office of the Labor World, and decided
that the picnic should be held at Fond

ceived from other resorts, but the Fond

Chambers Grove, which is credited with
being the most beautiful spot in ST..
Louis county. Here is where John
Jacob Aston first esta blished a trading
post at the head of the lakes, over 200
years ago. Near by is where a noted
Indian battle was fought. Down the
river can be seen Spirit Island. where
the conquered Indians We're taken as
prisoners. The old legend is that by
some means the prisoners escaped dur
ing the night unknown to their con-
querors. The Indians attribute it to
the work of the Great Spirit, and from
that day the island has been known as
Spirit Island. Fond du Lac is indeed a
historic as well as beautiful spot
The parade this year will eclipse all
former events. Over 1000 men will be
in line. Secretary Richardson has been
successful with the program, and has

comparatively young man to achieve
the leadership Of such an important or
gantzation of the allied building trades.
His first job was on a farm, near
Niagara and he was discharged for re-
fusing to work all day and half. the
night. After working for a while in a
wooden mill in Ontario, he came to Du-
luth in 1890 and took up the plumbing
trade. When the hard times struck
Duluth and plumbing business suffered
along with every other trade, Mr.. Smith
was forced to accept job In the flour
ing mills at Superior. He was treas
urer of the Flour Packers union. From
Superior he went to Minneapolis where
he became financial secretary of the
big Flour Packers union of that city.
He then drifted OH to Colorado
Springs, where he Joined the Plumbers
union and in 1901 was again in Mime
apolis, where he worked as Journey
man plumber until January of the
present year when he came back to the
great and only city-Duluth-and was
elected delegate to the Building Trades
council from the Plumbers union.
Mr.. Smith Is a conservative and ener-
getic worker and in less than five
months has worked himself up to the
building trades presidency. He is also

Startling Result Of a Command to
New Bellboy.


/ New Bellboy.
From the Kansas City Journal:
Winslow Chat isn't his name but it
will do) travels for Boston shoe house.
He came to Kansas City last week and
put up at one of the Kansas City hotels
with three trunks Of samples. Shortly
before his arrival new bellboy had
been added to the hotel force When
Willie came every one said that the
| limit had arrived. Not but that Willie
meant well. He was understood, with
great blue eyes and q sensitive mouth,
and he took 'guying'' with a pathetic
smile that earned him many a dime in
recompense. No one seemed able to de-
eide whether Willie was a stray angel
or merely deeper than the average boy.
From the time .Winslow first saw Will
lies innocent face he took fierce and
unreasonable dislike to the boy. Willie,
on his part became terrorized at the
| first sight of Winslow. The sound of
that gentleman's voice caused him to
tremble violently. Owingeto the fas
cination Winslow had for him, it be-
came practically an impossibiilty for
Willie to remember any order he was
intrusted with. Half way downstairs
he would awake from his trance and re-
aliFe that he did not know what he was
going for After two attempts at going
back for a repetition Of the order, Will
lies whole moral nature became de-
ranged. Although he invariably for
got Ass wants, nothing but brute force
could have dragged him back for furth
err instruction. Thus it was that Wins
low, got shaving water at noon and
stamps in the morning, lemonade when
he sought directory and cigars when
he asked for telephone.
After a day Of it Winslow settled
down into a cold study of the boy. In
New York boys were had enough. In
Kansas City they evidently, through
some climatic idiosyncrasy, drew for
hotel servitors on the state asylums for
the feeble-minded. So with endurance
born of experience he gave his order
and grimly awaited the always startling
results. Then he talked to the boy and
sent him back. Willie's eyes grew set
and his brow desparing, but he toiled
on.
On the afternoon Of Winslow's de-
parture for Denver he was paying, his
fascinated near.
II want you," he said, slowly, glazing
into the boys eyes, Ito go upstairs and
see if left my toothbrush and comb in
my room. Toothbrush and comb, tooth
brush, tooth brush, tooth brush! Don't
forget what 1 want, boy. And hurry,
too. Got to get my train.'
"NoN-no, sir, yves, sir" chartered
Willie.
Winslow hung about impatiently,
watching the cloock like hawk. Only
two minutes to spare to depart. Willie
came on a dead run across the floor, his
face aslow with the sense Of lofty
mission we'll performed.
= Yes, sir" he cried eagerly, you left
EN-
Winslow gazed hard at his empty
handed emissary. His lips moved, but
mo words came forth. Then, with an
inartioulate snarl, he stepped into the
waiting carriage.
