Ny salad days,
When / was green In judgment.

Another and very different derivation
links the expression with sale, or sad
die, the block upon which in olden days
schoolboys were birched. In this form
the words are allied to the 'pen'orth of
salad OIL" for which, on All Fools
shop. where they often met with a
warm reception.
1t is just possible that the term had
some reference to the "Saladine- tenth, ;.
a tax imposed by Pope Innocent Ill. to
provide funds from England and
France for the crusade led by Richard

Quite the simplest Interpretation of
the trite phrase salad days" refers 1t
simply to the fresh green quality and
character of such vegetables as are
grown for salad and which may be
taken as typical of the raw inexperi-
ence of youth. Probably 1t was used In
this connection by Shakespeare in An

CHAMBERLAIN IN THE WAY.
His Promises to Canada May Block
 Reciprocity.

Washington. June 2.--fope of the reas- sembling of the joint high commission has again been abandoned
 A few months ago everything presased a meeting of tine joint commission in Canada. probably Toronto. just after the adjournment of the Canadian Pariia- ment. The matter has progressed so far that the records Of the old commission were drawn from their pigeonholes and preliminary exchanges had taken place between Sir wilfred Laurier and Senator Fairbanks.
 Mir Chamberlains speech in the Brit ish Parliament last week, it is said. is largely responsible for the new attitude of Canada. The hope held out by him to Canada of preferential treatment for Ca nadian imports into England has over balanced any desire the Canadians might have for reciprocity with the United States.
 The reciprocity proposition was the leading feature of the program to be sub mitted to the high joint commission and as the Canadians show no disposition now to consider reciprocity. it Is said that there wll be no occasion to recon vene the commission for the consfdera- ton of other and smaller subjects on the program.

VETERAN RAILROAD WORKER
 TALKS ,INTERESTINGLY.
Bsnevolent-Fsiced old Gentlemen Takes Great Pleasure in Seeing
 Railroad Men Here in Frater- nal Intercourse.

Peter M. Arth UT of Cleveland O.. for thirty years Gr and Chief Engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- reers. talked interestingly to a represen- tstive of The Advertiser at the Exchange Hotel.
 Mfr. Arthur is n benevolent looking old SAentleman. who wears neat clothes and 1 Upright smile. 4 sharp pointed beard of Towy white sets off the otherwise smooth tee of the grea test railroad worker in '-the world and a pair of eyes glistening with humor and aood nature are features of his countenancaa In a crowd he would be easily picked out as bank president.
 Since the organization of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers in 1863. Mir. Arthur has been an officer in it's ranks. At. the first meeting he was elected Au- ditor and ten year,s later he was chosen as its chief executive. Since that time he has been repeatedly reelected and has seen the order grow from practically nothing to one of the strongest labor or ganizations in the world.
 Under his direction the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has demanded and received the respect of the country and nothing gives the old gentleman more pleasure than to meet and talk with the men who make the organisation.
 While talking to representative of The Advertiser, three husky looking engi- neers came up to shake hands with their chief. One was from the South. another from the Northwest and another from the East. After conversing with these engi- neers several minutes Mir Arthur turned and said to The Advertiser man:
 This is what I've been wanting to see for a long time. A place and an oppor- fiInity for the boys to meet each other socially. It has been a pet i'd ca of mine for a long time to have a uni on meeting where all the railroad people could get together and enjoy themselves. Now look at those three fellows. They all come from different parts of the country and would probably have never met had it not been for this meeting. which has probably in their case created three life time friendships"
 The old man smiled pleasantly as he unused over the thought.
 Asked what the purpose of the meeting is Mfr. Arthur said: Nothing more nor less than for the railroad people to get together and enjoy themselves socially, exchange ideas. make new friends and broaden themselves in every way. And then they can see what kind of people the men and women are whom they have

 The ball was given in the Auditorium The vast interior of the hall was eiaoo- rateIy decorated and never more bril- lisntly and with greater artistic skill
 The balcony was festooned with green and white bunting. In the center of the hall. suspended above, was beautiful design of buntfnss in tho coiors of the different orders and representing the fr- signlas of the same. There were the green and white. red and white, purple and gold. respectively. of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers. the Order of Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen.
 The stage was superb in effect. The orchestra was stationed there and was concealed by a grouping of tall. graceful palms ranged across the rostrun. Above was a design skiiftily executed. repre- serting the skies with rays of right ra- diatinE from the word welcome. Be hind the rays were the blue heavens and the stars while suspended above was a ROfden crescent ana a StAT. fne COHcep- ton was extremely beautiful.
 The grand march was led hy Mir. wii- liam Barrett. with Mrs. W. A. Murdock of Chicago. the Grand President of the Grand International Auxiliary to the Engineers Following them were Mir, Deloes Everett of Cleveland, O., the third Grand Engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. with Mrs. Cas- sell of Columbus. O., the Grand Vice President of the c. I. 4.
 Two hundred and fifty persons parti- cipated in the grand march. It was an intricate march skilfully led. and was splendidIy executed Frequently the on- lockers burst forth with applause. The electric lights were turned low and the dancers marched by the variety colors of flashlights from either side of the hall. When the march was completed. the lights were turned on the insienias above. and the badges of the different orders shone forth and appeared to turn for the view of the spectators.
 The Auditorium was filled with guests. The floor managers were Mir. William Barrett, Mir. Frank Crenshaw, Mir. A. q. Martin and Mir. T. s Pounds of Birmins- ham.
