THE BLUNDERS
OF ELIZABETH,
BY BLANCHE ELIZABETH WADE.

However l came to blunder into
cleyerness Is more than | can tell.
Brother Jack says the same. He
SAYS | am not TO blame for having
been born stupid, but that have no
sort Of right 20 carry out the idea
that / know everything, and that |
ought TO respect the old saying:
keep silence and be philosopher"
There Is some truth in what he SAYS,
for only day or two ago, that very
sentence saved me from making a
foolish mistake. Ny thoughts were
far from the subject OF war when /
heard some one say, Filipino" DO
you know, / ate one with my brother,
yesterday" l was on the point Of
remarking to the friend nearest me,
when the words, American troops"
arrested nv unlucky observation
just in time, and l held my peace.
"Were YOU not going to say some
thing, Mis-. MERRILL" asked my
friend.
Merely that l don't believe In this
outrageous affair" said |.
Neither do l." said he, and the
subject dropped.
Jack thinks me a huge fraud, and
no doubt he is right, but it is COM
fort 10 hear him add: Never mind,
sis, I'd rather have onewaltz with you
than any one Of the stiff, jumpy, ami
mated encyclopedias / have ever
met. That Is your one saving grace,
not counting your good lOoks-you
can waltz like dream"
/ try to look duly thankful for this
praise, as Of course am, for what
ever Jack says about a person he
means. Besides, he has saved me
more than once from making fool
of myself, and has plunged into yor-
tex Of brilliant conversation at the
right moment to rescue me from
foundering hOpelessly.
There was, for instance, the dinner
Of the Miller's. On seating myself
with the learned yet genial young
author, Mr.. Philbrook Darling on
my right, / discovered that Jack was
to be my left-hand neighbor. am
afraid the brotherly punch he admin
istered beneath the table was too
reassuring, for ! showed less hesita-
ton in airing my opinions on certain
deep questions under discussion, and
! could see that Jack was neglecting
Miss Adam horribly in his anxiety to
be ready to break in if he found my
eloquence threatening to lead me
astray. He gave sigh Of relief when
the subject was dismissed for lighter
talk to fill up the time between
courses. ! was glad to see him pay
more attention to Miss Adam, who
looked neglected. Then someone
began TO speak of humorists, and Mr.
Darling, turning to me, asked: "Do
you care for Bill Nye's style!"
"Well," l replied, '1've not read
anything of his fer quite while.

"He's dead, you goosew whispered
Jack, suddenly finding it necessary
to help me to the sailed almonds.
"What-what's that" said Mr..
Darling.
81 was just going to remark" said
j, "that his next work would proba-
bly, have been an improvement on
his earlier efforts if he had lived to
write it,"
"Quite 70, most certainly" he re-
piled. "By the way, Miss Merrill, are
you fond of writing~

Where Friends Are Made.

The recent blizzard out west Is the
basis of good many funny stories. Here's
a sample. A train load of passengers
tied up in western Canada consisted of
about twenty travelling men and one girl.
For six days they loafed around a little
country town and, naturally, got pretty
well acquainted. At the end of that time
the travelling men came nearly to blows
in deciding which one was to carry the
young ladys grip to the. train, and the
engineer finally settled it by giving up
his job in the engine and escorting the
lady to her destination. After the days of
confinement in a station where. there was
little. to eat. you may. believe those. pas
sengers would have appreciated case of
Golden Grain Belt" beer but they could
MT get it. That isn't the case with you
however, just phone 1876 main or drop a
line to THE Brewery and Well deliver

PEACE THIS YEAR.
No Prospect Of Clash in Labor
Circles.
ALL CRAFTS TOO PROSPEROUS
Contractors Expected Some
Day, However.

AS the time for signing the annual
agreements between the various building
craft associations and the unions included
in the Building Trades Council approaches
it becomes more and more apparent that
there Is to be peace between, employer and
employe this year, with plenty of work
and a better condition of prosperity for
all concerned than in many years past.
April 1 is the time for effecting the an
nual agreements as to wages and working
rules. Agreements have already been
reached in many of the crafts. The car
penters, fathers and iron erectors are the
only building crafts that have not come
to satisfactory agreements with the en-
ployers, and it is believed that all differ
ences can be adjusted peaceably in these
crafts. The carpenters demand an in
crease of cents per hour, while the con-
tractors on their part want the privilege
of employing nonunion foremen An ad-
vance of one-half the amount asked for
and no change in the rule for foremen, it
is believed, will be the basis Of COM
promise settlement.
Some day there is likely to be clash
between the two interests involved, fol-
lowed by fight for supremacy. But it is
not coming this year, both parties say.
There is too much profitable work in sight.
When the contest does come the main
issue will probably be the continuance of
the Building Trades Council as a con-
trolling and directing factor with the
building crafts. The contractors have
long been FESTIVE under the present sys-
tenn and are conserving their strength for
an open issue at some early date. They
want the privilege of doing business
through the individual unions rather than
representative central body. AS the
council is not now in the strongest posi-
BILE condition on account of the internal
d1ssensions, now would be an opportune
time to strike. The contractors realize
this plainly, but in Difference to their own
and general business interests have de-
cided to postpone the inevitable clash for
at least another year. -

Missou1a Strike.
The condemnatory resolutions passed
by the Federation Council last week
against the ten or twelve former police
men and firemen who were employed by
the Northern Pacific Railway company for
service at Missoula, Mont, are not taken
in good part by the parties against whom
they were directed. 1t was alleged by the
council that these men had gone west to
give police protection to railway men who
had taken the place Of strikers. The
parties concerned explain that while they
did hire out to the Northern Pacific
company for service in the west,
they were deceived as to the character
of the service and just as soon as they
ascertained what they were expected to
do, which was when they reached James,
town, N. D., they turned round and came
back to Minneapolis. Edward Helm, who
was mentioned in the resolutions as one
OF the men who had gone on this mission,
declares that the council did him an in
justice, as he never left the city at all.

BENEFITS WAGE-EARNER
The Verdict of Many as to Combi-
nations.

That combinations Of capital and con-
soiidattons Of industries are a benefit to
-Wage-earners, is the tenor of majority
OF the replies received by State Labor
Commissioner O'Donnell in answer to the
individual e-earners' statement Sent
out several weeks ago.
The benefits are seen, it is stated, in
the extension of industrial establishments,
the enlargement of the market for labor
and it usually follows that labor becomes
more effectively organized. with the re-
suit that the labor organizations and not
the individual man make the wage scale,
and the working rules. Consolidation
also tends to raise the standard of work.

capital to carry them over periods of in

UNIONS BACK COOKS
Steam Filters Pass a Vigorous Res

Organized labor will vigorously back
up the campaign of the Cooks and
Walters Union against the Chinese res
taurants. The two unions have put up a
brisk fight for week past, keeping pick
cts out constantly in front Of the restau-
rants and using moral suasion with their
patrons to prevent them from patronizing
the places. All members of organized
labor, it is believed, will avoid these
places Of their own volition. The Steam
Filters union took an advanced stand in
the matter last night by voting to fine any
member $40 who should 'be found in a
Chinese restaurant .s--.-.'".
