l5eye, that the hasty action
taken by the Powers, against
Venezuela was premeditated.
While. we do not doubt that the
claims they hold are good there
is no doubt, that: owing to in

edge of antidotes.
Il was out in my garden one day."
said the senior senator from Massa-

along toward the veranda. At the edge
OF the low flooring was spiders web
straight across his path. Mr.. Toad
did not observe it, and plump he land
ed suarely in 1t. This unceremonious
and burglarious entrance naturally
provoked the resident spider, who was
strongly of the opinion that his home
was his castle. Accordingly he proceed,
ed to give the toad most vicious bite.
Instantly the toad hoped back on the
lawn, found a bit of plantain leaf and
chewed 1t. Then back he hoped and
hit the same obstruction, with the re-
suit that he got another bite. Seven
times he repeated the attempt, each
time going back to the plantain for an
antidote for his wounds At last he
succeeded in demolishlng the spiders

MRS. PULLMAN WAS SURPRISED
Widow Of the Late Car Magnate Gets
a Severe Jolt,

A well known Cambridge MASS
doctor, in the meeting of a society
held at his house a short time ago,
gave the following anecdote relative
to Mrs. George Pullman, widow of the
late car magnate. A friend or mine
(the name might have been Anderson
was i'll with shaking palsy. He was a
western man and had many peculiar
tiles. One was that when he went into
a place where 1t was warm he would
take off his Jacket. He came to me
for advice, and | referred him to a
New York specialist. He called upon
the doctor one day and, taking off his
coat, Eat down in a chair.
Shortly afterwards two well dressed
ladies entered and both looked at
him in establishment. One was about
to leave. The other said that she
would send in her card and have the
man removed. They evidently thought
he was intoxicated, The doctor came
out In response to the card, with
smiling face. He bowed to Mrs. Pull.
man and then to Mr.. Anderson. He
then introduced the latter to the great
lady.
When Mr., Anderson caught the
name Pullman" he asked II she was
the wife Of George Pullman She an
swered affirmatlvely. He said: well,
] am glad to meet you. remember
George when he used to work for
me for $3.50 a day."

that Uncle Phineas fell asleep before
the singing was at an end.
Over and over again Eleanor was on
the point Of broaching to her uncle
the question Of her future, but some.

Aunt Emma, he would suggest that

NEW FOE FOR CHAMBERLAIN.
English Labor Organization to Raise
Campaign Fund.

London, July 3.-Labor's intense un
easiness with regard to Chamberlain
protectionist proposals is illustrated by
the decision of the executive commit
tee of the Amalgamated Society oil
Railway Servants to ask the members
Of that organization to pay levy Of
pence C cents) quarter for parlia
mentary purposes.
If the request should be granted the
society would realize large annual
campaign fund, which would be de-
voted to the election of men pledged
to cheap food and liberal legislation.
In the event Of the success of the
railway mems movement an attempt
will be made to induce other great
labor organizations to follow suit in
order that the working classes may
contest every constituency in the coun-
try containing strong labor vote.
It is estimated that the assessment
proposed by the railway men, If ap.
piled by the whole body Of trade
unionists, would give the workers a
fund equal to the funds of the regular
parties and greatly increase the labor
vote in the house of commons.
Leaders of the amalgamated society
declare that Chamberlain, intoxicated
with the new wine Of fiscal imperial
ism, is hustling the nation against the
will Of it's Wisest men in the direction
of perils he himself does not pretend
to be able accurately to gauge.
