For pure confusion of thought the fol-
lowing brief essay by a school child of 12
on the Human Body" would be hard to
beat:
The human body is divided into three
parts-the head, the chest and the tum-
mick.
The head contains the eyes, ears, nose,
mouth, and brains, if any.
The chest contains the heart, lungs,
and part of the liver.
The tummick is entirely devoted to
the vowels, of which there are five, name
", a., i, o, u, and some times and L."

dering, injuring the reputation, or EN-
ployment, by using the strength of the
union, to boycott, or undermining, by
using the lodge room for drinking pur-
poses on lodge meeting night, knowing
that to be against the constitution of
the Federation, depriving men from
room on account of such debauchery.
BY granting privileges to some and
rejecting others the same rights, for
boycotting honest laborers of same
trades because they will not join their
unions, to try to force on the public I'M
skilled labor by refusing to work with
such labor on the same jobs, because of
not belonging to some union.
This has put many honest men, who
care for others as for themselves, to
