land, we must calculate on the pos
sibility of being blown to the east.
The Gulf of Mexico and tho Carib-
bean sea are thronged with ships
of all kinds. 1t is likely that this
island lies q little off the regular
course of traffic. but we are certain
to sight some vessel in short order.
Therefore | favor a craft which will
have more Of safety than of speed"
"That is my idea exactly" said Mr..
Morton. 81 believe we will be picked
ND inside of AS hours at the most.
We must construct raft or house
boat which can survive any ordinary
storm. Even If the waves do beat over
it occasionally, our plight will he
much better than if our boat were
capsized in the first heavy sea-"
"No ordinary wave will beat over
the raft l have planned. said Mr..
Carmody, producing a rough sketch
of the plans. 81 propose a craft 40
feet long and IA feet wide. 1t will
be square at both ends. We will
frame the hull out of solid timber.
| notice that there are some tall,
straight trees back Of the bungalow
which will serve admirably for our
purpose. | have built many ships
and barges, and we have the tools
and materials to do good job. The
best plan will be to frame the hull
on shore, and then take it apart and
put it together again in the water.
Of course we could build the raft
complete and launch it from the
stone pier, but it will be safer to
build it from the water.
1--WE will build house or cabin
sx24 feet. 1t will he high enough to
stand upright in. There will be three
staterooms, each with two sleeping
hunks. Then there will be COM
bined kitchen, din;ng-room and store
room. This cabin will be braced in
every direction. and have worked
out n plan by which no ordinary sea
can cause serious trouble. \ raft
built like this will ride the waves
safely"
Mr.. Carmody's plans also provided
for six oars or sweeps and rudder
Through the roof of the cabin two
masts were stepped, each carrying
a boom and a three-cornered SAIL
He had found pile of canvas avn
ings which had not yet been put in
place on the windows of the bunga-
low. These promised to make excel
lent sails. For two hours the house
boat was discussed, and the plan
suggested by Mr.. Carmody was
adopted. 1t was decided to begin
work on the boat early the following
morning.
While Mr.. Carmody and others
went to select the trees for the
frame work of the houseboat, Sidney
and Mr.. Kent rowed across the bay
and took an observation from the
rock overlooking the inlet. There
was no vessel in sight, though Sid
ney thought he could trace a line OF
smoke at the edge of the southeast
ern horizon. They felled tall pine
tree and trimmed it for a flagstaff.
Early the following morning five
of the men raised the pole on the
rock. having first provided a flag
which they nailed to the top.
Sidney and Mr.. Kent watched the
sun as it dropped behind the west

Selling Their Children,

The black slave of antebellum dayl was free to what the American labor ing man is now. The black nanny never had to take her babe to the blocl: and sell it, but that is what the Amer. ican wives and mothers among the miners and other trades are forced to do. They take their offspring from their breast. carry it to the operator. the master, and say, "What will you give me for my child?" That is what is done day after day. These white slaves form large percentage of the producing class of the country. In fact they are the producers. What about their rights?
 In West Virginia you can't step on a piece of ground unless you step on an injunction. You try to cross a river, and the capitalist thrusts an injunction at you. If one half of the river belongs to the trusts, you have a right to think that the other half at least still belongs to God Almighty, but it seems this isn't true.-Mother Jones.

position of honor and power, but his triumph is short lived If he is jealous in his cause, if he OffendS the men to whom he must sell his labor; and yet from within the bolts of sarcasm the shafts of malice and the tongues of suspicion are directed at him. Cabals, cliques and combinations are formed against him and soon he is deposed, to pass into oblivion. Where is Debs and his lieutenants, where are the leaders in the army of labor's great battles, where are the men in our own union who ten yeas ago were so active in the cause of unionism? Heart broken and stung with ingratitude they are toiling along unnoticed and for gotten.
 To-doy John Mitchell is the idol of thousands of men. As he passes men raise their voices; they carry him on upon their shoulders and they crown him with laurels. Will history re- peat itself? Will the men who to-day are shouting high the praises of John Mitchell, tomorrow revile him and belt him with mud and stones? Who can tell?
 Mans progress in the last century has been marvellous, but greater tri- umphs yet await him. He needs but organization and leaders. The nucleus is the local union, for in the local un- ion is the national leader schooled. Let us use care in the selection of our officials and then rally to their SUD- port, giving them our confidence, our respect and our trust. Let them know that while they are standing in the outposts fighting the unions battles, they are not being aimed at in the rear, and let them know that if they have been true to their trust they shall earn the lasting gratitude of their fel- lowmen. When unions show this spirit they will find true leaders not "am- bilious agftators," but fearless men, sterling in character and high in pe. tive.-George l.. Reker.

A Railroad Strike In Holland.

Something unusual in the way of strikes has just occurred in Holland. It began through an engine driver on the Hollandsche railway refusing to shunt train into premises where the workers were already on strike. He declined to do what he called "scab work" He was discharged, but his association supported him, and all the 17,0OO employees of the two great rail- ways in the country came out as one man. Such united action has never been seen in Holland before.
 The decision to stop all trains was arrived at on Friday night, Jan. 30, and on Saturday not a train was run ming. Curious results followed. All the stations were closed and guarded by the military which had been hurried to the chief points, especially to Am sterdam, where the strike originated. The mails were carried in motor cars which the minister responsible for that department had called into use from private owners. One trainload of pas sengers on the way to Germany was delayed at Amsterdam for six hours, and the unfortunate passengers were afraid to leave the train, lest it should go on without them. Humorous incl dents were not lacking. An opera com- pany had to travel from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. They travelled part way in cabs and other vehicles. Then they got train part of' the remainder of the way, but the engine driver struck when he got some distance on, and the sing CTS had to walk the rails to complete their journey. A crowded house await ed them, but they had neither instru- ments nor costumes, so they gave "Fi- delio" in the clothes they had travelled in, and the music was supplied by a piano.
 Late on Saturday night, the 31st, the railway companies gave in, to the men, and the strike ended.-Collier's Week fv

Big Bosses, Organization.

A movement is on foot for the or ganization of employers throughout the country for the purpose of counteract- ing the influence of the vast labor un- ion interests. The magnitude of the undertaking can hardly be overesti- mated. It is designed to take in all of the leading employers of labor in the entire United States, and not only are strikes included in the general pro- gramme, but the eight hour day, which is so dear to the labor heart, is also one of the objects of consideration. It is proposed to organize the employers on exactly the same basis as the employed and to fight fire with fire. The unique idea of taking the principles of the la bor organizations and reversing them for use by capital has been under dis cussion for some time.

Pitney Is Preiudiced.

At the recent hearing in Jersey City in the suit of John Martin, baker, O Dover, N. J., against the Retail Clerks International Protective association, Vice Chancellor Pitney expressed the following opinion, of labor unions:
 Wherever you see labor union you expect boycotting. The labor unions have two methods of enforcing their demands-the boycott and violence. Do you suppose that that man would have been murdered at Waterbury yesterday if it had not been for the influence of a labor union? Nobody believed in Mitchell out in Pennsylvania when he said that the miners organization was not responsible for the violence there"

this country and we believe it has nev- CT resulted in anything but failure.
 Persons that indulge in these patron izing schemes do not understand very much about the American people, If Americans generally were willing to be organized into model communities and have their ways of life regulated for them and be under hourly instruction and advice, this would never have be- come the greatest manufacturing na- ton in the world nor the American workingman famous for his skill and efficiency.
 There is a certain condescension in volved in the model town idea that sets an Americans teeth on edge. It is a practical recognition of modern feudalism not easy to tolerate-as if the people for whom model towns are provided were unable to look out for their own interests and must have guardians from among the wise and good. In this country the public school has made most. people of about the same degree of Intelligence, and those that produce the wealth of the land do not usually need to be cared for by charitable idlers.
 The Pennsylvania mine owner prob ably never thought of it, but as a mat ter of fact very few Americans in pos session of health and their reasoning faculties need to have things done for them They can do things for them selves. They do not need any paternal care and shepherding about. All they need is an opportunity, an equal chance in life, and they can be depended upon to take care of themselves.
 In this particular instance if the mine owner had seen fit to abolish his com pany store and its varied and ingen- ious system of grand and petty lar ceny and had done; away with the time dishonored methods of plundering prac- ticed on the miners, he could have spared himself the expense of his lyce- um and lecture hall and other improve ments. The miners would have attend ed to those things themselves.-New York American.
