But not of me. somehow;
Ma says that sis takes after her,
But when pa wants to boast
He pats her cheeks and says that she
Takes after him the most.
Ma says III make her crazy yst,
Pa scods me all the time,
They never pat my checks, You bet,
You'd think it was a crime
For boys to ever peep out loud
Or show the grit they've got
Nobody ever cares if
Take after them or nGt
When Aunt Grace comes to our Aou.e
She always tries to show
That Claribel takes after her,
Pa he denies it, though,
For Aunt Grace and my ma, you see
Are sisters, SO when they
Say Claribel takes after them
Pa butts in right away.
They all say Claribel's as sweet
AS ever she can be

And ma was proud of me;

ONLY ONE WOMAN MASON.


Among the visiting masons who at
tended the sessions of the Masonic
Belief Association in Richmond last
week the subject of Women in Ma
sonry" was under discussion.
One Of the number said
Many people think that women are
admitted to membership in the Ma
sonic order. while as a matter Of fact
within the history Of the organization
only one woman has ever been allowed
10 join.
There are authentic reports to show
that the only woman who was ever adj
ncitted was Mrs. Aldworth. Her pic
ture now hangs in the Masonic hall, in
and Nineteenth hrdluetao WIZ ,1yJg
franklin street between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth, and is the property of
old Richmond Lodge, Nc. 10, said to be
the most venerable lodge in continual
existence in this country, as ii was
chartered October 20, 1887.
Mrs. Aldworth was the youngest
child and only daughter of Arthur st
l4eger, created first Viscount Doneraile
Ireland June %. 1903, and Elizabeth,
laughter and heiress of John Hayes, of
Winchester She was born about l7ls
md married Richard Aldworth, Of
ewmarlyet, County Cork, son of Sir
lehard Aldworth, provost marshal of
'iHnstcr,
THE lodge in which she was
inflated was No. Al, of Ireland. and it's
meetings were often held in the home
OF it's president. Lord Doneraile.
It happened that on one occasion
| the ledge meeting was held in a room
| separated from the others by both stud
ling and brick walls
Miss st. Leger determined to gratify
/ aer curiosity regarding the secret work
Of the organization, and, if possible, tc
see the goat in action
With pair Of scissors she removed
i portion of the brick from the wall and
took her position, so as to command a
full view of every part of the next
room.
Thus she saw the first two degrees
Of Masonry, the full extent of the lodge
business that night
From what she heard when the
members were about to separate, she
felt tremblingly alive to the awkward
ness and danger OF her situation and
began considering how she could re-
tire without being caught Cropping
around the dark room in her fright
aned condition she knocked against
and overturned chair.
The crash was heard by the tiler of
he lodge who was in the lobby. He

ONE EFFECT OF STRIKES.

An inquiry in the great centers Of
population in New York has disclosed
as fact what has been assumed that
the many strikes in the building trades
in that city have brought deprivation
and want to thousands of workers and
their families. Some instances of these
conditions have crept into the news
papers through the arrest of men on
charges of petty thieving. In some of
/ thes cases it has been found that the
Offenders told the truth when they said
they stole in order to get food for their
wives and children, they having been
kept out of work by one strike or an
other
But the men and their families are
not the only ones who have suffered
and will suffer because Of these labor
wars, some of them so unnecessary.
Small tradesmen of all kinds have
lound their customers have no money
with which to buy For the same
eaason they have many bad accounts on
their books. If they can not sell goods
i collect for the gods they have sold
they can not buy and can not pay for
what they have bought. And so the
wholesalers suffer, and in less degree
he producers Buffalo Express.
The above clipping is being used by
newspapers all over the country to
show the evil effects Of strikes and to
weaken the cause of labor organiza-
tons.
1t is lamentable fact that the press
of the country never lose an oppor-
tunity to show the ill-effects of organ
lied labor, but are silent on their many
benefits We admit that the effects of
strikes are bad and that many strikes
are i'll advised. But strikes have been
and are yet the greatest blessing and
have done the cause of labor more good
than all other agencies combined. With
out the privilege of striking the labor
organizations of the past would have
been powerless. Prior to the time of
strikes the wages for labor in this
country had been decreasing steadily
year by year, and would have done so
to the present time. and the laboring
people of this country would have been
in more deplorable condition than
the serfs of England. But by the use
Of strikes and other means labor organ
izations have caused the price Of labor
to steadily increase and the American
labor to be the most enlightened and
best paid In the world.
By agitation and educations labor or
CARNATIONS have reached the point
where strikes and boye0tts are rarely
aver necessary and often DO more harm
than good, but there is no denying the
faet that the time does sometimes come
and has often come in the past
where the strike was the best and
only remedy.-Labor Unionist.

A WOMAN DEFAUL.TEIF;t.

The arrest of woman bookkeeper
the other day in New York for defalca-
ton is a case out of the ordinary Not
withstanding the army Of women nov
employed in positions of trust in the
United States it is rare to hear of one
proving dishonest.
The majority Of defalcations may be
traced to extravaganza or dissipation.
1t is seldom that a man who has sue
ceeded in gaining the trust of his en-
ployer is inherently dishonest The
defaulter usually Designs in a small
way. Needing few dollars he takes
them, firmly intending to replace them
out of his salary or if he is a gambler
or Spectator out of his prospective
winnings. The good intentions after
awhile are swallowed up IN the necesi-
ties that confront and he takes and
takes until discovery comes and his
life is ruined. A woman is not beset
by the temptations which lead many a.
man to his doom. She is more apt to
live within her income. She does not
drink or gamble Sometimes a woman
speculates, but she will do it only with
her own money. She is not as reckless
nor as daring as man and thus
escapes many pitfall
The New York case is a sporadic in
stance which brings into relief the con
scientiousness and integrity of the wo-
men who prove faithful to their trusts.
