Sing . Song.

Sing . Song.
II you'll sing a song as you go along
In the face Of the real or the fancied
wrong,
In spite of the doubt If you'll fight it out.
And show heart that is brave and
stout;
II you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse the
tears.
You'll force the ever reluctant cheers
That the world denies when coward
cries,
To give to the man who bravely tries,
And you'll win success with little
song
II you'll sing the song as you go along!
II you'll sing a song as you plod along.
You'll find that the busy, rushing throns
viii catch the strain Of the glad refrain :
That the sun will follow the binding
rain;
That the clouds will fly from the black
ened sky;
That the stars will come out by and by.
And you'll make new friends. TIL nope
descends
From where the placid rainbow bends,
And all because Of a little song
II you'll sing the song as you plod along!
II you'll sing a song as you trudge along.
You'll see that the singing will make you
strong,
And the heavy load and the ragged road
And the sting and the stripe Of the Tor
tuous goad
Will soar with the note that you set
afioat:
That the beam will change to trifiing
mote;
That the world is bad when you are sad'
And bright and beautiful when glad,
That all you need is a little song
If you'll sing the song as you trudge
along!

Tho Textile Industry.

One of the growing organizations Of
to-day is the International Union Of
Textile Workers of America, of which
Prince w. Green of Phenix, Ala, is
the general secretary. The organiza-
ton of the textile workers Of the
South was necessity. The low wages
received by the workers there, COM
bined with the long hours, threatened
that great industry in the North. Mr..
Greene has had many difficulties to
overcome, but he is confitenu that all
the big textile mills Of the South will
soon be thoroughly organized and
the conditions of the workers sbettered.

the Hay-Pauncefote canal treaty, the
treaty for the purchase of the Danish
West Indies, the Hay treaty with re-

land and the extradition treaty be-

lesser importance have been ratified
upon which former chairmen OF the
committee had been unable to secure
action by the senate.
Mr.. Cullom has ably represented the
state of Illinois in the senate since
1883. His present term expires in

Labor in Missouri.

Labor In Missouri.
William Anderson, commissioner OF
labor of Missouri, has just issued the
twenty-third annual report and while,
in a general se1se, the work assigned
state labor commissioners Is to collect
and publish infor nation concerning
condition of labor, this report con-
tains much general information and
an array of facts concerning trade
unions and the conditions OF employ
ment in Missouri that will not only
enlighten and interest the general
public, but create higher regard for
the state labor bureaus than has hith-
erto been displayed.
The law creating the bureau OF Ia
Dor statistics and inspection in Mis-
souri, covers a greater scope and wider
field of investigation than that OF
probably any other state, and the
present commissioner has compiled
and tabulated his information IN such
a manner as to be handy for refer
ence.

>V ositions by anecdotes. A
W Y visitor was complaining Of
man out west who had
made lot Of money by accident and
at the expense of worthier men.
"It seems a shame that such an ass
should get rich," said the visitor.
THAT reminds me-" said the secre-
tary, "of man heard Of out in Iowa.
He was playing seven-up one night
with some friends, and although he
was good seven-up player he could
not win game. He sat for two hours
and stewed and fumed and lost stead

in disgust and said: The most alarm

A young man connected with affairs
at the capitol at Washington Is de-
voted believer in the germ theory of
disease and in the virtue of disinfec-
tants. A few days ago he heard of
case of scarlet fever in his neighbor-
hood and he straightway went to a
drug store and got mixture of liQ-
uids with which to disinfect his
clothes. He dosed the clothes literally.
Shortly afterward he was riding in
one of the senate elevators. Senator
Vest came in, leaning on the arm Of
his faithful attendant, Jim" Edwards.
The senator elevated his Roman nose
and shifted the air. Then he said to
Edwards: Somebody in this car Is

Representative Kyle of Ohio enjoys
the reputation of being the best singer
in the house. He is one Of the new
members from the Buckeye state. and
while his melodious voice has not yet
been heard in debate upon the floor, it
has been heard-not in the house, but
elsewhere-to burst forth in sweet and
inspiring song. At banquet he is al
ways set down to break the monotony
of speech-making with an inspiring
song which generally proves the big
gest success of the feast. When he
first came to Washington he kept his
talent buried, but by accident or other
wise his colleagues learned that he
possessed musical ability, and now he
and his songs are in great demand.
He learns all the popular airs. and to
hear him render them is better than
listening to opera any day.
A delegation from Nebraska recently

raiiors BENEFIT BY Organising.

Tsilors Beneht BY Organizing.
All signs point to the more perma-
nent organization Of the New York
tailors. The unions have doubled their
dues and introduced sick and death
benefit features. Since the great strike
in August the conditions obtained have
been upheld, and no ground has been
lost. This is a remarkable contrast to
former experiences. Should this con-
tinue, 1t will obviate the necessity OF
the annual strikes, which were conse-
quent upon the Generalization due to
the disbanding of the unions imme-
diately after a so-called victory. More
stable conditions are now likely to pre-
vail, and also sharp upward trend,
which must in time put an end to the
abuses from which the trade has been
suffering.
