Strike Ordered on the Minneapolis
Federal Building.

Minneapolis, July 27.-Eighty work
men on the remodeled federal building
struck during the day because one OF
the subcontractors put two unfair
electrical workers at work. The strik-
ers all belong to various unions that
are members of the building trades
council, which was recently enjoined,
along with the Electrical Workers
union, by Judge Cray from interfering
in any way with the work of the cleo
trical contractors by ordering or in
ducing their workmen to quit. In this
case. however, the building trades
council disclaims all responsibility
and the men claim each TO have acted
on his own individual responsibility.

Secretly Removed After the Death OF
= the Pope.

New York, July 27-The Herald's
Rome correspondent cables the follow
ing:
The ring of the Fisherman, which
should have been found on the hand
OF the pope, has disappeared. 1t is not
so much a question of its material as
OF its intrinsic value, for the ring OF
the Fisherman is used to seal the
papal bulls and is the outward sign
OF the authority of the pope.
When the cardinal camerlngo signi
fles the death OF pope he receives
the ring of the Fisherman from the
chamberlain of his holiness. 1t is then
destroyed in the presence Of all the
cardinals at the first meeting OF the
sacred college held after the pope's
death.
But when Cardinal Oreglia. the pres
ent camerlingo, had certified to the
death OF Leo Kill, Monsgnor Bislettl
was q prey to the deepest despair and
had to admit that the ring had disap
peared. Monsignor Bisletti can give
no indication as to the robber. The
theft must have taken place between
the death of the pope and the morn
Ing of the following day. when Car
dinal Oreglia officially certified to his
death. During this time a large mum
ber of persons entered the death cham
ber.
The disappearance of the ring has
caused a tremendous sensation at the
Vatican. where it is the sole subject
OF conversation.

The Last Inch.

The difference between ordinary
and extraordinary me is not SO con-
siderable as many think. The great
are only a little greater than their
fellows.
Two students in an American uni
versity we're rivals for the headship
of their class. One had a grade of
98.4 and the other 98.5. It was a
small difference, only one-tenth Of
one. At last the student who lacked
that necessary tenth to be the equal
of his competitor watched the others
window at night. He put out his
light and still watched the window.
He saw that his opponent studied
fifteen minutes longer than he did
on the morrow's lessons. He waited
until that window was dark, and
then lighting his own lamp he stu
died thirty minutes longer. This he
did, night after night, watching the
window, and studying only a little
longer than he had studied before,
and at the close of that semester re-
ceived a grade of 99.6. He won by
virtue of that little more.
It has been said, "The world pays
a big price for the last two or three
inches" A poet puts it:
"A little more, and how much it is:
A little less, and what worlds awayw

Lloyd Jones before the National
Housewives Association at their an
nual meeting yesterday. "And you
mothers and housewives are to blame
for the common feeling Of your
daughters against kitchen service.
"This servant girl question is be-
coming more vital than trusts, tariff

egory of unsettled things. It affects
the home and family, the most sacred
institutions in the land, and has
much to do with the unhappiness Of
the nation. The idea that kitchen
work is mental must be corrected and
the lessons must begin at home, in
every home" .
The speaker further expressed
himself in favor of a large school Of
domestic science for girls to offset
the manual training schools for boys.

says that a certain beginner in jour

He hurried to the telegraph office
and "queried" the editor of a New

Column story on . Shall I
send?"
The answer arrived promptly:
"Send six hundred words"
This, to the enthusiastic CORE
spondent, was depressing.

The First Hundred Dollars.

A rich man who died not long ago
said that the hardest part of making
a fortune was the saving of the first
hundred dollars. That is to say,
when a boy or young man has sue
ceeded in putting aside a hundred
dollars, he has formed the habit of
prudence and economy, and after
that the way is easier.
You boys who are starting life for
yourselves should start a bank ac-
count at the same time. It does not
matter particularly how much you
lay aside at first, so that you lay
aside something, and do it regular
ly. The boy who starts in by spend
ing every penny he earns will have a
hard struggle to conquer that habit,
no matter how large his salary be-
comes. And if he starts by saving
a little it will soon be easier to put
aside something from his weekly
earnings than not to do it. Your
bank account may be insignificant,
viewed merely as a matter Of dollars
and cents, but it IS bigger than it
sounds. Not only is it laying the
foundation for financial independ-
ence, but it is a safeguard against
the ~extraVagant habits which lead
SO many young men into dissipation
and dishonesty.-Selected.

The Culture of the Imagination Through
Literature.

The culture of the imagination is
no less important than the culture
of memory and the reasoning power.
That childhood is poor which has not
for friends many of the good1y com
pany represented by Hector, Achilles,
Roland, Sigurd, The Cid, Don Quix-
ote, Lancelot, Robin Hood, Percy,
The Douglas, CULVER, Puck, Rip
Van Wrinkle, and Alice in Wonder
land. College classrooms, where
Dante and Spenser, Goethe and Cole
ridge are taught, speedily feel the
difference between minds nourished,
from babyhood up, on myths of
Olympus and myths of Asgard, Hans
Christian Andersen, old ballads, the
"Pilgrim's Progress" the arabian
Nights" the "Alhambra," and minds
which are still strangers to fairy
land and hero-land and all the dream
lands of the worlds inheritance.
Minds of this latter description come
almost as barbarians to the study of
poetry, deaf to it's music and blind
to its visions. They are in a foreign
cline. In the larger college of life
no less is felt the lack of an early
initiation into literature. A practi-
cal people in a practical age, we need
the grace of fable to balance
fact, the JOY of poetry to leaven
prose. Something of the sort we are
bound to have, and if familiarity in
childhood with the classic tone has
not armed us against the cheap, the
fimsy, the corrupt in fiction, we fall
easy victims to the trash of the hour.
We become the sport of those mock
ing elves who give dry leaves for
gold.-Katharine Lee Bates, in In

sizes.

This was the most unkindest cut of
all:
For when The noble Caesar saw him
stab,
Ingratitude, more strong than trait
ors' arms,
Quite vanquished him: then burst his
mighty heart;
And in his mantle mufling up his
face,
Even at the base of Pompey's statue,
Which all the while ran blood, great
Caesar fell.
O, what a fall was there, my country
There I, and you, and all of us fell
Whilst bloody treason fourished
o! now you weep; and, I perceive,
The dint of pity: these r gracious
drops.
Kind souls! what, weep you when you
but behold
Our Caesars vesture wounded? Look
you here,
Here is himself, marr'd, as you see,
with traitors.
TTumult among the citizens, with
cries of "Vengeance! Kill the trail
tors !"1
Good friends; sweet friends, let me
not stir you up
To such a sudden flood of mutiny.
They that have done this deed are
honorable:
What private griefs they have, alas!
I know not,
What made them do it; they are wise
and honorable,
And will, no doubt, with reasons,
answer you.
I come not, friends, to steal away
your hearts:
I am no orator, as Brutus is;
But, as you know me all, a plain
blunt man,
That love my friends; and that they
know full we'll
That gave me public leave to speak
of him.
For I have neither wits, nor words,
nor worth,
Action, nor utterance, nor the power
of speech,
To stir mems blood: I only speak
right on;
I tell you that which you yourselves
do know,
Show you sweet Caesars wounds,
poor, poor dumb mouths,
And bid them speak for me: but
were | Brutus,
And Brutus Antony, there we're an
Antony
Would ruf1e up your spirits, and put
a tongue
In every wound of Caesar, that
should move
The stones of Rome to rise and mu-
tiny.

Come I to speak in Caesars funeral.

You all did love him once, not with

lies he there,
And none so poor to do him rever-

You all do know this mantle: I re-

The first time ever Caesar put it on;
Twas on a summers evening, in his
tent,
That day he overcame the Nervii.
Look! In this place, ran Cassius'
dagger through:
See what a rem the envious Casca
made:
Through this the well-beloved Brutus
stabbed;
And as he plucked his cursed steel
away,
Mark how the blood of Caesar fol
lowed it,
AS rushing out of doors to be re-
solved
If Brutus so unkindly knocked, or
no;
For Brutus, as you know, was Gaze

Judge, o you gods! how dearly Gaze
sar loved him!
