time and again, how II makes q
man feel TO be shut up alone

It's no wonder that nerve
troubles attack the mother for
she has the children all the
time. How can she help being
nervous, especially while the
little ones are making such con-
slant drafts on her energyP
No woman can endure the
strain of her homework and
two or three little ones unless
her digestive powers are OF an
unusual order. She can't man

the strain.
We can suggest one thing
that will surely help her and II

dition. While all recognize that the

Its original condition as possible, the
contention is that to do this steps
| must be taken to rake improvements
about the house and other buildings at
once.
1t is asserted that the total repairs
| needed on all the buildings would not
cost over $1,000.
| Another matter which should re-
ceive prompt attention, according to
visitors to the farm, is the proper
marking of the graves of John Browns
two sons, Oliver and Watson, buried
beside their father. These graves are
now simply marked by plain wooden
stakes, bearing no Inscriptions what
ever On Memorial day small Ameri-
can flags were planted over them, and
are still in position, relieving to some
extent their otherwise barren appear
ance. The original stone placed above
John Srown's grave was some years
ago covered with wooden frame hav-
ing a glass front. This still stands
and ~has served to protect the stone
This stone is appropriately inscribed
as is also the huge bowlder at the head
of all three graves. 1t was Browns
last wish that his body be laid at rest
beside the great stone he had learned
to love in early life.
John Brown the Man.
That John Brown thought much of
his peaceful little Adirondack home
this last wish reveals. 1t was not the
place of his birth; he had lived in
many larger places and more fertile
lands of the West, in the milder eli
mates he had spent portions of his life;
but it was John Brown the man, not
John Brown the reformer, who made
that last simple request. Worn out in
fruitless endeavc-; deserted by
friends, facing death, John Browns
strife sickened heart yearned again for
that little green dip in the Adirondack
hills. for the soft soughing of the trees,
for the birds, for the sunshine, for the
rolling fields, and the blue hills beyond;
for that home where he had spent four
teen of the pleasantest years of his
life. And he asked to be buried be-
side the great bowlder where he had
built that little home many years be-
fore. The request was Needed and
his body lies beside the great bowlder,
and floating in the buoyant mountain
breeze the Stars and Stripes high over
head proclaim to the country for miles
around that within that little iron rail-
ed Enclosure Is sacred ground

the Adirondack wilderness is not ia
miliar to all. No man living knows this
part of the heroes life better than
Reuben Lawrence. Gray haired, and
bowed with years, he looks himself not
unlike the man whose former home he
now occupies. He takes a genuine
pride in showing visitors about the
place and in pointing out the many lit
tie things that sweep dry historical rec
ords aside, and bring the visitor face
to face with the real John Brown; that
make one feel as If he or she were ac-
tually in the midst of that historic
family circle of years ago.
The study is in the house, Of course,
the principal point of interest to Wis
itors. This is said to be just as John
Brown left it. A little box-like room
with its entrance opening directly off
the 1onz piazza running about the side
of the house, 1t would be counted
poor apology for a library or study
even in the cheapest of modern houses.
Yet there the visitor is told that
Brown pondered and prayed over
many OF the weighty problems that
presented themselves to him. There
he decided the course to be pursued by
him in his eventful career. There the
visitor is shown the chair he used, his
writing cabinet, the bayonet from his
old nlusket, the mirror into which a
picture of himself has been fitted, and
other minor relics. One picture of him
Is pointed out, as declared by his wild
ow, to have been the best ever made
of him. 1t is framed in natural wood
with the bark on, and around the edge
of the frame is painted, "I have fought
good fight, have finished my course;
l have kept the faith"
Why He Went to the Mountains.
John Browns idea in settling in such
an out of the way place as North Elba,
in the very heart of the Adirondack
mountains, was simply part of his
Unborn desire to assist the downtrod-
den negroes. To a number of free
colored people had been given farms in
this locality from Gerrit Smith, and
Brown, believing he could help them,
also accepted the gift of tract from
Mr.. Smith, and moved to North Elba
in 1849. But his scheme was a fall
ure. The region proved too cold for

Hon. John c. Chase, ex-mayor of
Haverill. Mass, and known in labor
circles all over the country as the shoe
maker mayor, will deliver an address
in Federation hall on the subject of
! organized Labor Against Organized
Capital" on Wednesday evening, July
%. Considerable interest is manifest
ed in the visit of Mayor Chase, and it
is expected that a large number of
unionists will greet his first appear
ance in St. Paul.
Mr.. Chase served two terms as may
or of Haverhill. and he landed the office
solely through the agency of the votes
of the working class. Every other fac
ton and political element in town COM
bined to defeat him, even to the Pro-
hibitionists and saloonkeepers, an I'M
heard of combination. s
Labor leaders declare that Chase
gave the city the best administration
that it ever had, and even the enemies
of the labor movement. while they do
not admit this, fail to produce substan-
tial arguments to show that his policy
was not an unqualified success.
Haverhill is city of $1,000 inhabit-
ants, and the manufacture of shoes is
the principal industry Chase COM
menced to work at the trade when six
teen years of age, and since his advent
in labor unions, his record has been a
clean one, as spirited labor leader
and worker.
Built Up Union Labor.
When Chase assumed the reins of
city government in Hayerhill, the la
Dor movement had gone. from bad to
worse, but he soon reorganized the
forces of union labor. When he retired
from the Office, the workingman's par
ty numbered $500 votes, whereas it
had polled only Is at the first election
since it's advent a few years previous.
His platform was. a novel one, but
it nevertheless surprised some of his
antagonistic enemies, after it was plac-
ed in successful operation:
81 per on for eight hours work
,. Union wages and conditions on all
work performed by the city government.
3. Free use OF city land by unemployed
city to furnish seeds and tools.
4. Abolition of contract labor on pub
lie work
5. Public ownership of public utilities.
3. Food, clothing and books free to
school children =>7=
During the two administrations the
town was without a labor strike, and the
affairs between capital and labor ran
the labor movement Jared better at the
hands of one OF its own members, and it
was perhaps due to this that there were
no demonstrations of dissatisfaction.

REFORM IN The TARIFF
Continued From First Pace.

consumer in this country would bene-
fit by reduction in price of both inn
ported and domestic manufactured
goods. These reciprocity treaties were
drawn under the direction of President
Mckinley, and in the last speech of his
life he announced that the time had
come when this country should con-
sent to the reduction of it's tariff wall
and should ratify such reciprocal
treaties.
New Stumbling Block.
During the seven months in which
congress was in session the reciprocity
treaties got no nearer to ratification
than they were in the previous con-
gress. Not SO near. An additional
stumbling block was put in their path;
for the senate committee on foreign
affairs amended every one with a pro-
vision requiring the approval of the
house of representatives in addition
to the two thirds vote of the senate.
They were reported to the senate, and
that was the end of theS1.- No effort
was made to call them up or to get
a vote on them, singly or collectively.
1t was pretty we'll understood that any
such effort would have failed If I'M
dertaken. For the New England man
ufacturing interests were leagued with
California and some other states to see
that all the treaties failed of approval.
They are all regarded as dead. Quite
dead.
The president will have a strenuous
time II he let's the tariff trust let go.

URGE ED LOTT TO
RUN FOR SHERIFF
Committee From Labor Organizations
Wait on Him and Make Known
Their Wishes.

Z. B. Lott was last evening waited
on by large delegation, composing a
committee from the various labor or
CARNATIONS of the city, which urged
him to file his papers for the Republic
an nomination for sheriff, and pledg-
ing him their hearty support. They
assured him that they had sounded the
sentiment of all labor organizations in
the city, and found that it was univer-
sally in rs favor. They also assured
him that the request for his candidacy
did not issue entirely from labor or
ganizatfons, but that he had a large
number of friends throughout the
county who were eager to have him
run, and who would tender him very
cordial and effective support If he
would give ear to the request.
