The Other Fellows Job.

There's craze among us mortals that is
cruel hard to name
Wheresoe'er you find a human you will
find the case the same;
You may seek among the worst Of men or
seek among the best,
And you'll find that every person is pre-
cisely like the rest.
Each believes that his real calling is
along some other line
Than the one at which he's working
take, for instance, yours and mine.
From the meanest "metoo" creature to
the leader OF the mob,
There's a universal craving for "the 9TH
er fellows job"
There are millions OF positions in the
busy world to-day,
Each n drudge to him who holds it, but
to him who doesn't, play;
Every farmers broken-hearted that in
youth he missed his call,
While that same unhappy farmer Is the
envy of us all.
Any task you care to mention seems q
vastly better lot
Than the one especial something which
you happen to have got
There's but one sure way to smother
Envy's heartache and her sob;
Keep too busy, at your own, to want
1.-The other fellows job"

FRENCH STATESMAN GONE.
Waldeck- Rousseau Succumbs to Dis
ease that Baffled SurGeon's Skill.


Notwithstanding the fact that falling
health prevented his active participation
in politics for the last two years, the
death of NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau leaves a
gap in the ranks Of French statesmen
which it will not be easy to fill. he
passed away Mt his summer home at Cor
bell. near Paris, after a long illness OF a
disease OF the stomach which baf1ied the
skill of the best physicians.
Pierre Marie Erneste Waldeck-Rous-
seauswas born at Nantes, France, Dec. z,
1916, and was n son OF Rene Waldeck-
Rousseau, at that time a prominent MEM
Der OF the Assembly. Waldeck- Rousseau
studied law at st. Lazare where he prac-
ticed for some time before settling at
Rennes. There he made his first en-
trance into politics, being elected Deputy
III 1870. He then became prominent in
the ranks of the Republican union, which
was very conspicuous in opening the way
for innovation and the present republi-
canism. and was considered one of the
most prominent orators Of the Assembly.
His best work was.for the reform of the
judiciary.
He was reelected on Aug. 81, 1881,
and on Nov. IA of the same year, al
though only 81 years Old was admitted
into Gambetta's Cabinet as Minister OF
the Interior. The short-lived Ministry Of
Gambetta did not offer Il fitting chance
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1904-08-26

to Waldeck-Rousseau to prove his ability
at that time. The resignation of the gov
ernmcnt took place Jan. 26, 1882. Hav-
ing been offered the same portfolio in
Jules CREWS Cabinet, he held the same
from Feb. II. 1888, till the resignation
of Grcvy's Cabinet in February, 1885.
In 1886 he was elected Senator, al
though he was not present at the cleo
ton.
In 1880 Waldcck-Rousseau was enter
cd ut the bar OF Paris, and since that
time pleaded some of the most important
cases Of the time. On June ID, 1899,
Waldecll- Rousseau was called upon to
form his own Ministry. and after having
been successfully in office for over three
years, he resigned in June, 1902.
During all stages of his career this
great statesman was attacked by I'M
scrupulous slanderers, nothing was left
undone to blacllen his reputation, but
he emerged stainless from them all, and
future historians will undoubtedly put
him down as the greatest French states
man Of his time.

STRIKES ON RAILROADS.
They Are Ordered Only After Careful
Investigation.


The opinion that the leaders of labor
organizations can and do order strikes
in an arbitrary fashion is prevalent.
! says the ChautauQuan. This, however.
Is not the case with the railway or
CARNATIONS. The firemen have engaged
in strikes on four systems since 1885,
the conductors on four since 1890 and
the trainmen on two since 1888. While
the Pullman strike of 1904 was con-
Quoted by the American Railway
Union, many members Of the other
railway orders were CONCERNED In 1t.
The result of this affair Is thus sum-
married. by Mr.. Carter of the firemen:
1T cost many thousands of railway
men their positions, 1t brought sorrow
to many homes, but it did something
else-lt put stop to the wage reduc-
tons that had become so popular, it
served notice on railway corporations
that when conservative labor organiZa
lions could or would not fight radical
organizations would, 1t convinced
stockholders that they had permitted
thtdr greed to go too far"
The steps which are now taken for
the adjustment of grievances are much
the same in the different organizations
and an outline of the method pursued
by one will suffice for ALL The aggriav-
ed member Is required to make writ
ten statement Of his complaint to the
division to which he belongs. Ii ap

"ision 1t Is referred to the local COM
nittee, composed Of employees Of that
section Of the road, who investigate

standing with the local officials.
The result of these negotiations Is re-
ported back to the division. II un-
successful, and IL the division deems
the case meritorious, 1t is turned over
to the general committee for that sys-
tenn. This committee Is made up Of
representatives from the entire system,
one member from each Of the suborGi-
nate divisions. The grievance Is pre-
sented by them to the general officers
Of the road. If no agreement Is reach

the assistance of n general officer OF
the organization. If the general OFF,
Ger together with the general commit
tee cannot arrive at settlement with

cred A complete statement of the sit
uation is furnished each member en-
ployed on the system and q sealed bal
lot Is taken. A strike can be ordered
only when two-thirds vote is cast in

or board has any authority to order or
authorize a strike unless such action is

The value or n sunny soul.

The world Is too full Of sadness and
sorrow, misery and sickness; it needs
more sunshine; it needs cheerful lives
which radiate gladness; 1t needs en-
couragers who will lift and not bear
down, who will encourage, not discour-
age.
Who can estimate the value of a
sunny soul who scatters gladness and
good cheer wherever he goes, instead
of gloom and sadness? Everybody is
attracted to these cheerful faces and
sunny lives, and repealed by the
gloomy, the morose and the sad. We
envy people who radiate cheer wher-
ever they so and fling out gladness
from every pore. Money, houses and
lands look contemplate beside such a
disposition. The ability to radiate sun
shine is a greater power than beauty,
or than mere mental accomplishments
