Rev FIR. j. Lyon, of Indian

then continued to run and when

overlook Dan Rathborn who

Dan but run over him, cutting
gashes around one eye and
knocking a tooth down his

Victory for Labor.

Leaders of organized labor claim
big victory in a favorable report re-
ceived from the House committee on
judiciary on the Grosvenor bill to limit
the meaning of the word conspiracy
and the use of restraining orders and
tniunctions In certain cases.
The bill provides that no agreement,
combination or contract to do or TO
procure to be done. or not to do or pro
cure to be done, any act on contempia-
ton or furtherance of any trade dis
pute between employers or employees
shall be deemed criminal, nor shall
those engaged therein be indictable for
the crimes OF conspiracy, ii such act
committed by one person would not Be
punishable as a crime, nor shall such
agreement, combination or contract be
considered as in restraint of trade or
commerce, nor shall any restraining
order or injunction be issued with re-
lation thereto.
II enacted into law the bill, in the
opinion of labor leaders, will vastly
strengthen organized labor, and stoI
the abuse of injunction and restraining
proceedings. 1t gives trade organiZa'
tions the right to do whatever an in
dividual may do under the law.

Steel Workers Stirred Up.

Rumors are again rife that new
national union of irol and steel WORK
ers is about to be formed, and that
organizers of the Steel WORKERS AS
ISOLATION OF America, which is the
name of the new body, are gathering
recruits in the Ohio, Indiana and IL
Hnois field. The organization. 1t Is
said, had it's origin in the defectloh
of the South Chicago and Milwaukee
steel workers from the Amalgamateo
Association of Iron and Steel WORKERS
during the steel strike last summer
At that time the steel workers In THESE
two cities refused to obey the order
of President Shaffer to go on strike
contending that they had made wage
scale and agreements with their en-
ployers previous to the PRONUNCIATION
of that order, and no provisions were
made in it for a sympathetic strike
Unions of steel workers in South
Chicago and Milwaukee have been
kept intact, and it is now proposed
to build up a national organization
from the members of these lodges ana
others which objected to the strike.
None of the lodges which refused 10
go on strike when ordered will be al

The United States postoftice depart
ment has a violent prejudice against
double-jointed names for towns. This
prejudice has worked harm to a de-
serving little town in California which
had a Spanish name for nearly a CEN
tury This is Corte MADEIRA, in Marin
county The Corte Maderans having
no postotflce had to go several miles to
get their mail. They put the requisite
machinery at work to have the place
declared postoffice. but the most en-
terprising man in the town was one
Jerry Adams, the keeper of the Cross
roads saloon. To the Washington au-
thorities he represented that "Corts
MADEIRA" was too long a name. To this
the postofice authorities lent will
ing ear, and the subtle Jerry suggested
to them that a more euphonious and
convenient name was Adams They
at once agreed. Now the Corte Ma-
derans have their postof1ice, but they
have lost their beautiful Spanish name.
and their town is named after tha
keeper of the local saloon.

A movement has been started among
the coal miners to set apart one day
of the year for recreation and speech
making in honor of their national
president, John Mitchell. There is
no doubt that Mitchell deserves great
credit for his generalship as head of
the miners organization. In a short
time he has succeeded in building up a
healthy, prosperous and peaceful or
ganization out of an overworked, dis
contented, unorganiZed people. Mitch
ellis modesty prevents him from TAX
ing any credit for the present condi-
lions of the miners. He says that the
men themselves are responsible for
their present condition, but the miners
know that it was his wisdom on meth
DDS of organization that raised their
association to the high standard it oc-
cupies among the operators and gen
eral public.

1t Is reported that a process of COW
ering wooden doors with sheet metal
by means OF eiectrolysis Is now being
experimental with at Bridgeport,
Conn. The excellent fire-resistinE
qualities of wooden door covered
with tin plate have long been recos-
nized since the metal covering preA
vents the wood taking nre, while tAe
use Of wood for the framing avoids
any risk of warpins the door by heat
allowing the flames to pass through, as
has happened with doors built wholly
of iron A tin plate covered door has,
however, a poor appearance, and is
therefore suitable only for workshops
and warehouses. By depositing cop
per or bronze extraordinarily it is
hoped to provide doors suitable for
buildings of all kinds, says Engineer
ing. The method followed is to place
the carefully finished wooden door in
a hot solution of fossil gum in linseed
oil. This completely closes the pores
of the wood with an impervious var
nish so that on transferring the door
to the electrolytic bath the solutions
are not absorbed. On removal from the
vanishing bath the edges Of the door
are bound with sheet copper fixed by
cement, and the rest of the door Is then
covered with conducting layer OF
bronze powder, after which the whole
is placed in an electrolytic bath and
copper deposited over the whole sur
face,

The Girl Of Yesterday.

The Girl of Yesterday.
Her hands are wrinkled and palsied
And her brow is decked with gray,
And we see no trace in the careworn face
OF the girl of yesterday:
But she dreams as her sun Is setting
OF the joys of a time she knew
And her hopes and fears and her smiles
ard tears
Pass by in long review.
She sits in her lifes long winter
And waits for the coming spring.
And the tears arise in her dim old eyes
AS she toys with a wedding ring;
And she sees in the open fire
The bride of the long ago,
And the glad strains roll from the Or
gan'S soul
To an echo, sweet and low.
All! you who would be forgetting.
Gaze now this wrinkled race
That once was fair the si!ken nair
That lent it youthful grace
You live in the glad tomorrow
But your debt is heavy to pay:
Let your homage fall to the queen u
them all
To the girl of yesterday.

One great joke that man has on

ever condescends to thus joke without
referring to hen parties. This is del
icate and subtle form of irony that

inferior, but also that woman is much
better off in the home circle, where she
is not exposed to insults as she would

and accurately, the work being accom-
plished by a single downward move
ment OF the horizontal lever project
ing toward the operator. AS will be
seen, a pair Of stamp feeding rollers is
mounted between two standards. the
shaft OF the upper roller being geared
to the shaft on which the lever is
mounted, the latter being normally
elevated by a spring. On one side of
the Lever Is a pad, adapted to swing
down on a platen set in line with the
feed rollers. Between the piaten and
the feed rollers a moistening sponge
is so mounted that the strip Of stamps
feeding in toward the platen must
pass under the sponge. AS the lever.

It revolves the rollers and feeds a

envelope over the stamp and depress-

fixed in its proper place. Thus the MAJ
