It is the universal testimony that
clergymen reach the highest age, be-

dressers. Ordinary agricultural labor
ers, although their occupation is So
largely in the open air, are not con-

working with wood are longer lived
than those whose occupations are with
metals, and both attain a higher age
than textile workers and workers in
chemical industries. The shortest
lived people are miners.

Washington, Sept. 30.-An important
conference took place at the white house
Tuesday night between President Roose-
welt and five members Of the executive
council of the American Federation Oh
Labor, including President Gompcrs ana
Mr.. Mitchell, head of the miners union.
during which the case Of Foreman Wa.
Miller, of the government printing OIL
flee, was dismissed because he had
been expelled from the local bookblnd-
ers' union and afterwards was reinstated
by direction of the president, was the
principal topic of discussion. The con-
ference was granted at the request OF
the labor leaders. The statement OF
President Roosevelt is as follows:
Cannot Discriminate.
~ thank you and your committee Tor
your courtesy, and l appreciate the op-
portunity to meet with you. 1t will al
ways be a pleasure to see you or any rep
re~sentatives of your organization or OF
| your federation as a whole. AS regards
the Miller case | have little to add TO
what | have already said. In deallnS
with it / ask you to remember that am
dealing purely with the relation OF the
| government to its employees. l must
govern my action by the laws of the land
which | am sworn to administer, ana
which differentiate any case in which
the government of the United States is
a party from all other cases whatsoever.
These laws are enacted for the benefit
of the whole people. and cannot and must
not be construed as permitting discrlm-
ination against some of the people.
Must BE just to All.
81 am president Of all the people of
the United States, without regard to
creed, color, birthplace, occupation or
social conditions. My aim is to do equal
and exact justice as among them all. In
the employment and dismissal of men in
the government service l can no more
recognize the fact that a man does or
does not belong to a union as being
for or against him than l can recognize
the fact that he is a Protestant or a
Catholic, a Jew or a Gentle, as being
for or against him.
Decision Is Final.
"1n the communications sent me by
various labor organizations, protest
ing against the retention of Miller in
the government printing Office, the
grounds alleged are twofold: /. That
he is a %nonunion man; 2. That he is
not personally fit. The question of his
personal fitness is one to be settled in
the routine of administration detail, and
cannot be allowed to conflict with or to
complicate the larger question of gov
ernmentai discrimination for or against
him or any other man because he is or
is not a member OF a union. This is the
only question now before me for deci-
sion; and as to this my decision is
final"
Other Matters Discussed.
The committee also brought to the at
tention CT the president several matters
of legislation in which it is interested.
Among these were the enforcement of
the eight-hour and the a~ntiinjunction
bills which passed the house of repre-
sentatiyes at the last session of con-
gress. The president, Mr.. Gompers
said, expressed himself as favorable to
the principles of the short-hour work
day and his deep concern for the inter-
est OF the wage earners of the country.

A BAD WoUND.-At the recent con-
gress of physicians in New Orleans
story about DR.. Lorenz went the
rounds. DR.. Lorenz some years ago,
was summoned to the bedside OF
Frenchman, who had been wounded IN
duel.
Come Immediately and bring plenty
of surgical appliances" said the sum-
moner, "for you will find your patient
in a serious situation"
Accordingly the physician and his
assistant loaded into their carriage a
great quantity Of bandages and iodo-
form gauze and absorbent cotton, to-
gether with probes of every size and
shape, anesthetics and splints. They
were equipped to dress the wounds OF
a small army and great, therefore, was
their disgust upon reaching the French
mans house, to find that nothing allied
him but a mere sword thrust In the
fore arm.
DIR. Lorenz, with a smile, sent his as
sistant for some warm water, ana
waited for its arrival to dress the tiny
wound. The Frenchman, groaning
fearfully, said to him:
"Is my hurt serious, SIR?
Every serious, indeed" replied the
physician. I'm afraid If my assist
ant doesn't hurry it will heal Of itself

CAUGHT In THE AcT.-A good many
amusing stories are told at the expense
of servant girls and domestics gener-
ally, but this which comes from Chest
nut Hill is at the expense Of the mis-
tress rather than the maid. 1t was
new servant girl, who. was. as rule,
truthful, but who would tell harm
less white f1b when her mistress re-
quired it.
One day the rector called, but for
some reason the lady did not wish to
see him. Answering the bell, the
maid very politely said her mistress
was out.
Now in the drawing room, leading
directly from the front hall, there
was a folding screen which stood two
or three inches from the floor. Behind
this the lady secreted herself.
$50 your mistress is out?" mildly
said the minister.
"Yes, SIR" answered the maid.
"Well," remarked the caller, as he
looked toward the drawing room, 1.-The
next time your mistress goes out Will
you kindly suggest that she take heI
feet with her?"-Philadelph Ledger.

THE TAc1TURN ScoT.-The follow

Of the canny Scot to part with gra-

An Englishman, CHANGING to be In
Aberdeen, decided to call on granite
merchant with whom he had done bus
mess some years previously, but whom
he had not seen since. Proceeding to
his stoneyard and observing an old
mason polishing a slab Of granite, he
inquired: 'Is Mr.. Frazer in?"
The old man replied, "Mr. Frazers
no. in
"Ah, we'll, ri call again."
Returning in half an hour, he again
asked: rs Mr.. Frazer in?"
"Mr. Frazer's no in"
Then I'll come again this afternoon,
and perhaps find him."
Once more the visit was repeated,
and the same question put: "Is Mr..
Frazer in?"
Mr.. Frazer's no in
do you think he will be in soon?"
II think he'll no be in sune."
What makes you think so?'
"Mr. Frazers deid."-Tit- Bits.
