The Price Men Pay.

we buy till the ghost Of trouble 10
laid;
Till the ghost of trouble is laid, dear
boy-but, oh, for the head next
day!
For the price that is set in Natures
book is the price that we have to
pay.
'Tis the price that we have to pay.
A head like a bale of hay:
The price that is set in Natures book
is the price that we all must pay.
In life's queer game we play for Sue
cess-'tis thus we have dubbed
the dear,
Though whether she's this or whether
she's that, is q matter not SO
clear;
But one man plays with the carda
of greed for limitless sack Of
pelf.
And another man plays. with a sol
emn face, for laurel to grace
himself.
And each man pays; be sure of Il
though it be or here or there,
For Natures price is on the goods
and to see that he pays she'll
care;
And the happy man, SO l suspect, is
tho man of a kindly way,
When he pays the price in Natures
book, the price that we all must
pay.
The price that we all must pay,
With a tear or smile, say;
The price that is set in Natures boob
is the price that we all must pay

when women had nothing interesting
In their lives except men. 1t doesn't
hold with modern women.

On the thing we have, and the thing
we do, and the thing that we win
in the fray,
There Is always q price Dame Nature
sets. and the price we are bound
to pay.
We may fatter ourselves in our infan-
tile way that we're playing q con-
fidence game,
And that in the end by cunning and
stealth we'll hoodwink the dear
old dame.
But ever and ever she sets 1t down,
the price Of each thing that we
win,
And If It be won in the way Of right or
the red, red path of sin;
And ever and ever, or soon or late,
though we juggle accounts by the
way,
The price that is set in Natures book
is the price that we have to pay.
'Tis the price that we have to pay,
Though the fact may bring dismay;
The price that Is set In Natures book
is the price that we all must pay.
The primrose path is q jolly path, but
the price of its Joy Is writ,

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Before Sam
Parks closed his eyes in Sing Sing prs
on members of his union had
III Mnennerchor hall and voted to call
Il general strike of ironworkers all over
the country today. The fight will be
centercd in New York. but will affect
all cities in the United States where
members Of the Iron league are en-
ploying men. The strike will be called
this morning.
This action was taken under the dl-
rection of Frank Buchanan, president
Of tie International Association of
Structural IronworkCrs, who made the
announcement when the meeting was
over.
Mr.. buchanan stated that the local
and executive committees of the IRON
workers had made repeated efforts to
come to an agreement with their I'm
Dloyers in New York, but that they had
been turned down" at every point,
and now" said lie, lit is a fight to a
finish"
Parks influence, he said, had nothing
to do with the decision TO strike. Buch-
anan and menlbo.s of the national and
local committees have had repeated
conferences with the Iron league in
this city, but nothing has been accom-
plished in the direction Of peace. Yes
terday, according to Mr.. Buchanan's
statement. a final effort was made, but
the attitude of the employers became
so antagonistic that all hope of a set
Element was abandoned, and the union
voted unanimously last night to fight to
Il finish.
