AN EARLY LABOR TROUBLE.
EmersOn's story of a Baltimore
Strike is Pleasantly Recalled.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, that sublime
and transcendental essavist and benign
exponent of brotherly love, once while
speaking upon the conditions of his
times, in 1S41, with amusing but elegant
righteousness referred to a certain in
ciGent in the following calm fashion:
The contractors who were building a
road out of Baltimore some years 6
found the Irish laborers Quarrelsome
and refractory to a degree that embar.
raised the agents and seriously inter.
rupted the work. The corporation was
advised to call off the police and build
preist presently restored order and the
work went on p~roSperously.'
| This was one of the first labor trOu-
bles in this country of which we have
any record, and it may be regarded as
the forerunner of all the subsequent
innumerable and stormy conflicts be
tween capital and labor which the sage
New England philosopher, with all his
wisdom and knowledge did not under
stand nor anticipate.
Wrapt in his dreamy studies, Mr.. EN-
erson thought it would be the easiest
thing in the world to settle such dis
rutes by an appeal to reason and the
sentiments of brotherly love. 1t never
entered his head that within a few years
after his time labOrers would be trying
to put a finish to their difficulties with
employers by bricks, knives, and dyna-
mite. and that the embarrassment could
be relieved only by platoons Of police
| and soldiers armed with riot guns.
Nevertheless, it is deeply to be regret
ted that there are now no philosophers
like Emerson, and that employers die
not always remain as conciliatory and
employees as placable as they were
shown to be by the Baltimore incident
to which he referred. If nowadays
strike or a lockout in a mine or factory
or on a railroad, could be ended by sim.
ply suggesting that babies were dying
for the want OF fresh milk, that inoffen.
sive men and women were freezing t.

apple promotes digestion. increasing the

One reason, perhaps, that apples are
rot more commonly served with meals
is that persons Frequently get hold of

The College Mans "Lambs.'

A s%trapping big fellow. with "raht
up to the elbows, walke into a farm
yard in Western Kansas and applied
for a position, says the Kansas City
Journal.
The applicant explained that he was
a graduate of a big Eastern college,
had played football, eXcelled in weight
contests, was a record sprinter, and,
in short, a man Of extraordinary phySi-
cal capabilities.
The farmer had quite a herd or
sheep that was causing him no little
trouble to be herded properly, and he
called the college feller' out into the
pen about 6 o'clock the next morning
and stated that he wanted him to herd
the sheep over to a certain place and
then drive them in the pens by Z
o'clock that night. The new herd
started out in rather awkward style,
but the farmer, having SO many duties
to look after, returned to the stable to
hitch up.
Supper time came, and not d word
had been heard from the sheep. Fir
ally at S o'clock the farmer began to-
be alarmed, and was getting ready to-
go out on a hunt, when he heard some
one come whistling through the yard,

hurried to the pen. There, chasing
about among the sheep, the farmer

Manly. who was in the car, at ice had
