Gompers Gives HIS Views.

Washington, May 19.-President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor IL an advocate
of the organization Of employers, as
well as of workmen. Speaking dh this
topic. Mr.. Gompers said: EMPLOYERS
will find it to their advantage to be
organized, and not only this, but to
deal with organized labor The
movement to form unions among the
business men will tend rather to pre-.
vent that to promote conflict. Organ
lzed employers will be better able to
understand the demands of organized
labor and TO meet these demands with
out friction. There han been much
hot talk about the increasing demands
OF labor. Ny experience has taught
me not to be an alarmist, and | am
not alarmed over this particular mat.
ter in general. So long as human ma
ture is as it is there will be manifesto
tions of discomfort, both from laborers
and employers. But l believe that
every day is making for better condi.
tions."

FIRST PICTURE BOOK
The Daring Idea First Conceived by
Johann COmeninA.

Johann COmenius.
Three hundred years ago Il German
savant had wonderful vision. AT that
time children We're taught to read by
force of arms. so to speak through
hardships and With bitter toll on the
part of teacher and of child. 1t seems
curious that the first real step toward
tightening the labor Of children as
they climb the ladder of learning was
the product Of the Imagination not OF
some fond mother or gentlewoman
teacher, but Of bewigged and 5eti
tied university doctor.
1t was Johann Comenius, however,
who first conceived the daring idea
that children could be taught by the
aid Of the memory and the imagina
ton working together, "by MEANS" as
he quantity expressed It, 'of sensuous
Impressions conveyed to the eye, so
that visual objects may be made the
medium of expressing moral lessons to
the young mind and of impressing
those lessons upon the memory" In
other words, the good Herr Doctor had
the bright idea that picture books could
be useful to children. Comenius made
his first picture book and called 1t the
"Orbis Pictus." 1t contains rude wood
cuts representing objects in the nat
ural world, as trees and animals, with
little lessons about the pictures. 1t Is
quaint volume and one that would
cause the average modern child not a
little astonishment were it placed be-
fore him.
AS truly, however. as that term may
be applied to any other book that has
since been written, the "Orbls Pictus"
was an epoch making book. 1t is the
precursor of all children's picture
books, and modern childhood has great
cause to bless the name of Comenius.-
Household.

switchmen in Session.

Indianapolis, May 19.-The national
convention of the Switchmen's Union
OF North America opened in Tomlin.
son hall. with an open session. Frank
II. Hawley of Buffalo, grand master
OF the organization, replied to the ad-
dresses of welcome. The convention
was preceded by parade through
the downtown streets by the 800 dele.
gates who represent 10000 switchmen
from all parts of the country. One of
the chief subjects that will come up
during the convention is the question
OF Joining the American Federation Of
Labor. The feeling is divided. 1t is
believed there will be no opposition to
Grand Master Hawley for reelection.

GOOD FOR xFEGTLEY
Rev. E. T. Fegtley has Large
Land Interest.
ECONOMY BRINGS GOOD LUCK.
He Owns $40 Acres of Story County
Land Valued at 10000 an Acre.
Good News for His Friends.

Land Valued at 10000 an Acre.
Good News for His Friends.
Many Denison friends of Rev. E. T.
Fegtley and wife will be glaa to learn
of the good fortune that has come to
them. The family is now in possession
of fine farm ofs54O acres. valued at
$4,000 per acre, all clear of incum-
brance. From the Charter Oak Times
we CLEAN the following:
A travelling salesman named John
McCutcheon made Charter Oak this
week selling new atlas of Iowa He
is brother-in.law of Mr.. Fegtley, who
once presided over the destinies of the
M. E. church here. He told us many
things of the worthy minister, the best
of which is that the Fegtley family
have fine farm worth not less than
$50, 900. all clear of incumbrance. He
told how it was acquired, and the tale
is an interesting one, even to those who
do not know ary of the parties.
Away back when Story county. Iowa,
was government land, Mr.. Fegtley,
like many others before and since, took
up land. His father left little estate
which yielded this son about s74o.
THIS he invested in land at Sl.25 an
acre You have gone through the mill
and know how small the returns dur
ing the first few years of such tract
And you who remember know how
small was the salary of a frontier Meth
odist preacher. Breaking must be done,
and for this Mr.. sFegtley negotiated a
loan Later the tract must be fenced,
and another loan became necessary.
Still later it became necessary to con-
struct buildings, and still another loan
was floatsd. Soon the farm began yield
ing small returns, but these and more
were needed to give the children proper
education. But with the dogged pre-
sistsnce Of the Goth he clung to the
farm, paid his interest, did the best he
could and struggled on. Last year the
1T dollar of the old debt was paid,
sone, oft incurred almost half CEN
tury ago.
- BatsasaAAhsfAzAiSS can thank his de-
termination, for thev have $40 acres of
fine land, worth not less than 800 an
acre. But one transfer was ever made
that of the government to MIR. Fegtley.

spur.he1m and the students.

Spurzheim. the father of modern
phren0logy, while staying In Edin-
burgh, where he had great vogue,
was the victim Of a lsughable hoax. A
number of medical students submitted
for the opinion Of the phrenologist the
plaster cast of what they said was q
remarkably formed human skull. As a
matter Of fact 1t was the model of a
big Swedish turnip Called in the Scot
tish tongue "neip'D, and of this Spurz-
helm gravely wrote out the phreno-
logical character. A few days later the
following skit appeared in the leading
journal of the city:

WHEN THE SEAL DIMES.

JuEglery That Would Put the HUI
man Performer to shame.
The keeper who was going to feed
the seal had reached the edge of the
tank and was holding the fish tantaliz-
ingly at arms length over the water
The seal was all interest and attention.
Round and round the tank he darted,
hipdapping, sidewheeling, leaplng out
of the water and performing all sorts
Of aquatic stunts, all the while keeping
up his cultural yelpings. There was no
question about his appetite. He was
hungry and didn't much care who
knew it, and his beady little eyes were
all intent on the keepers every move.

impatient at the keepers leisurely ac-

tank, and quicker even than thought

protruding from the water immediate

into his willing nav to the accompani-

smack.

Without even the suspicion Of miss
the performance was repeated as rap
idly as the keeper could toss the flsh.
But the fun, fast and furious while It
lasted, is soon over with, and the seal,
after he had his fill, Immediately lost
all interest In his surroundings and
waddled out on to his platform and
curled up for an afternoon snooze.-
