Tailor. B.n.fst By Organising.

ALI 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, it will obviate the necessity OF
the annual strikes. which were conse
uuent upon the decentralization 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 a sharp upward trend,
which must in time put an end to the
abuses from which the trade has been
suffering.

William Anderson. commissioner OF
labor of Missouri, has just issued the
,twenty-third annual report and while.
In general sense. the work assigned
state labor commissioners is to collect
and publish information concerning
condition of labor. this report con-
tains much general information and
an array of facts concerning trade
unions and the conditions OF emIAoy-
ment in Missouri that will not only
enlighten and interest the general
public, but create higher regard for
the state labor bureaus than has hlth-
,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.

sock REVIEWING DONE BY GIRLS

Interesting Fras Dentss OF Conversation
= Hoard in a street Car
Sat two girls in a street car. They
were bright eyed and rosy checked.
They were not over Is nor under LIZ.
They were passing their opinions on
literary products and authors. past and
present. Fragments OF these opinions
foated through TIE car when its
wheels became quiet to let off or take
on a passenger. Here are few sam

Junior Nfachinises.

The union of junior machinists re-
Gently formed IN Chicago is proving a
success, more than 100 boys having al
ready joined. Similar unions have
been organized in New YORK, Pitts

City, Omaha, San Francisco Cleveland
and Philadelphia. Boys Of any age
who have worked six months at the
trade are eligible and the older men
say that the boys who join and take
an active interest in organization WORK

Badges Of Honor.

Some one has said that boy is
well dressed when his collar
is clean and his shoes are
BACKED That ought to comfort
some Of you lads who have been look
ing forward with a little dread to the
opening of school. For though most
boys have better things to think OF
than the clothes they wear. still it Ia
not pleasant to have patches on your
knees and elbows. when the boys who
sit next you are Respondent in brand
new suits.
Yet there are times when patches
are badges OF honor. while the new
suits are like disgraceful uniforms.
We have known boys to threaten to
stay out of school, unless they could
be dressed 'as well as the other
boys" when perhaps the father and
mother were well-nigh sinking be-
meath financial burdens.
A boy shows a weakness not only
OF head. but of heart. when he decides
that he would rather leave school"
than wear a shabby coat, when his
father and mother are making sacri-
fees for him.

Indian Smoke Signals

The Indian had way of sending
up the smoke in rings or puffs. know
ing that such a smoke column would
at once be noticed and understood as
a signal and not taken for the smoke
Of some campfire. He made the rings
by covering the little fire with his
blanket for a moment and allowing
the smoke to ascend. when he in
stantly covered the fire again. The
solumn of ascending smoke rings
said to every Indian within thirty
miles: Look out, There is an
enemy near." Three smokes built
close together meant attention Two
smokes meant Camp at this place"
Travel the plains and the usefulness
of this long-distance telephone will
at once become apparent.
Sometimes at night the settler or
the traveller saw fiery lines crossing
che sky, shooting up and falling. per-
haps taking a direction diagonal to
the lines of the vision. He might
guess that these were the signals OF
the Indians, but unless he were an
old-timer he might not be able to in
terpret the signals. The old-timer
and the squaw-man knew that one
fire arrow, an arrow prepared by
treating the head of the shaft with
gunpowder and fine bark, meant the
same as the columns of smoke puffs
AN enemy is near" Two arrows
meant Danger" Three arrows said
imperatively: This danger is great"

Young people especially are inclined
to believe that orators are born and
that eloquent addresses made By
prominent speakers are entirely eK.
temporaneous and are the thoughts oil
the moment. 1t is well for them tc
remember that there is no royal road
to success in any walk of life.
Even great orators have generally
refused to speak on the spur of the
moment on important themes De-
mosthenes. the king of orators. would
never speak in a public meeting with
out previous thorough preparation.
Daniel Webster when once pressed to
speak on subject of great import
ance. refused, saying that he was very
busy and had no time to master 1t.
When a friend urged that few words
from him would do much to awaken
public attention to the subject he re-
pied: IF there be SO much weight
in my words it is because I do not
allow myself to speak on any subject
until my mind is imbued with it."

was in Jail they gave some clothing
and ten dollars in money, thinking
that she would know best what she
wanted and so spend the money more
wisely than they.

Verses to Celebrate the Advent OF the
Crocus Buds and Other Things.

Behold the robin singeth from carly
dawn till night; and they that sell the
garden seeds do work with main and
might to cultivate the custom of the
poor suburbanite.
Yea, verify, the bluebird atop the
garden fence, to chirp his merry mel
ody doth eagerly commence-but stop
peth for the insect that tempts his
hungry sense.
The peach crop in New Jersey is
frosted as of yore-'til told in daily
kilograms and messages salore-and
thus we know that gentle S. ring is in
our midst once more.
The gentle poet seeketh for mouth"
to find rhyme, and writeth gladstone
ditties about the joyous time; and
frisketh all his pockets to find way

The lively iris tinteth the breast OF
FURNISHED dove in ballads penned as
parodies and winding up with love
the which to the waste basket get the
same insistent shove.
The fancy OF the youthful to tender
channels turns; and for some Siddy
damsel every soulful swain now
yearns; while on the wayside alley the
winter garbage burns.
The willy haberdasher displayeth
--latest stock; the crafty man who
maketh hats announceth newer blocks,
and in the shirts the ribald tint some
other color nccks.
The pink and crimson blossom lends
luster to the trees, where sigh tho

The ladies f1utter wildly from homo

he can't pay any more.

up in Pennsylvania are snakes as big

The Custerville Palladium asserteth
that Bill White is painting up his barn
again with all his main and might.
and that the cutters should be cleaned,
as they're an awful sight.
The politicians cunning their willy
ways resume, and lend an air of joy
fulness to erstwhile winter gloom by
harping on the merits of the presiden-
tial boom.

Soak piece of thread in strong salt
water, dry it and repeat two or three
times. When thoroughly dry tie one
end to a chandelier and on the other
or lower end tie a ring or some small
but not too heavy article.
1t is now ready for the experiment.
Set fire to the thread. and behold the
ring does not fall to the floor. nor
does the thread break
The explanation is: The thread has
in reality been burned. but the salt
with which the thread was saturated
forms a solid column, and that sup
ports the ring. Varied experiments
can be made. using several threads for
one article.
