THE SOLIDARITY OF LABOR.

The love that the union plumbers of Buffalo have for
other plumbers is demonstrated by of the demands
which they have made their employers They insist
that only members Of the local union shall be employed
by Buffalo master plumbers matter in what cities the
master plumbers may do work. 1t would be only logical
the plumbers of other places ask where they
in. According to the Constitution there is free
trade within the borders of the United States But the
Buffalo plumbers not content with protecting themselves
home would go much farther and protect themselves
abroad All of which is in direct contradiction the
theory embodied in the phrase he solidarity of labor"

NORWOOD AND NIGHTSHADE.

Talk about better and wiser,
Wiser and worse are one;
The sophist is the despiser
OF all things under the sun.
Is nothing real but confusion?
Is nothing certain but death?
Is nothing fair save illusion?
Is nothing good that has breath?
The restless throbbngs and burnings
That hope unsatisfed brings,
The weary longings and yearnngs
For the mystical better things
Are the sands on which are reflected
The pitiless moving lake.
Where the wanderer falls detected
BY thirst he can never slake.
a child blows bubbles that glitter,
He snatches them they disperse;
Yet childhood's folly is better,
And manhOods S folly is worse.
Gilt baubles we grasp at hlindly
Would turn in our hands to dross;
IT'S a fate less cruel than kindly
Denies the gain and the loss

The fantastic wooden objects which

made from the roots and trunks Of
hardwood trees.
The carvings are almost invariably
made in two parts, pedestal and one

made from a root and the latter from a
trunk. The roots are selected with con.
siderable care. They must be compare

Ioeoa ana hOckledge News, March D.
From aif authoritative source the
News has the following anent the now
much mooted Stetson University mat,
ter; 1T is acknowledged. that Mr..
Stetson has given largely toward the
building up and support OF the univer-
slty, but 1t must also be acknowledged
that others have contributed heavily
to the institution. Two thirds OF the
first cost OF one OF the large buildings
was contributed by citizens OF DeLand.
Again, there was shortage in rum
ming expenses for the year which wa
met by six citizens OF DeLand without
calling upon Mr. Stetson. Conrad
Hall was built without Mr.. Stetson's
aid, as was also the new Science Hall,
which represents something over $6o,-
600. Mr.. Stetson gave the ground on
which it stands, a friend OF the insti-
tuition giving the $4,000 90 to build and
equip it. Another cottage has already
been purchased and furnished as a
young mems dormitory, for which Mr..
Stetson was not asked to contribute.
While giving Mr.. Stetson due credit for
what he has given the university. still
It is felt that the ownership and con-
duct OF the institution is vested in the
trustees"
