DID HIS BEST.
He Brought the Only Cant Hook
That He Could Find.


He Brought the Only Cant Hook
That He Could Find.
If the report of the Fulton Gazette Is
true a Missouri farmer, accompanied
by several of his hired men, went into
the woods one morning in the fall of
the year to cut down some trees. When
about to begin work it was discovered
that the cant hook had been left be-
hind. Turning to one of the men, an
Irishman not very long over. the farm
er instructed him to drive back to the
barn for the missing tool. The Irish
man did not know what a cant hook
looked like, but was averse to exposing
his ignorance, SO drove off on his err
rand, trusting to find some one at the
farm who would enlighten him.
At the barn. however, there was no
one to help him out of his dilemma.
Casting his eyes about the place for
the thing that would be most likely
to bear the name of cant hook" he
saw a mulley COW with never a sign of
horn upon it's head and concluded
1t was what he had been sent for.
Procuring rope he fastened the COW
to the rear end Of his vehicle and ex-
ultingly drove back to the woods.
what the Sam Hill have you got
there?" shouted the farmer on seeing
his messenger and the cow. 81 sent
you for the cant hook to use in moving
the logs. What have you brought that

BRYAN AND
 GEN. BECK
What They Think
 About Unions.
Former Says There is Great CT Danger From Cor porations That Defy the Law-What Beck Says About Unions.

New York, Jan 22.-An attack on labor unions made by former Assist ant Attorney General James NJ. Beck of Philadelphia, was the cause for the remarks made by w. J. Bryan in de- parting from the text of his speech at the Holland society dinner just held here. MT Bryan declared there is greater danger from Corpora tions which defy the law" than from labor unions.
 Mir BeclS. in the course of his speech. said:
 If do not misread history, the prosperity of the Dutch people was founded upon principle which is vi tally essential to the progress and hap piness of any people, and that is the inalienable right of every man to work wages he pleases, and to freely enjoy the fruits of his toll. This principle is in some need of vindication in this country and at this hour. Man was brought into the world to work. It is not only his burden; it is his right, and any form of social tyranny which contravenes this right is infinitely mis- chievous.
 Tn vain are writteni constitutions, with their paper guarantee of life, lib- erty and pursuit of happiness, if the right of the humblest citizen to earn his bread Tn the sweat of his brow is thus denied. Such right is in no re- spect inconsistent with the right of labor to organize
 ''The tyranny of the boycott in it's attempt to club the free labor of our land into slavish submission to labor oligarchy has been strongly illustrat- ed within few months in the city of Chicago, where its people were not even given permission to bury their dead.
 To-day We are told on eminent au- thority that q struggle is on between the plain people and organized wealth. I venture to assert that this line of cleavage between the classes is as 1mischievous as it is lack ing in justification. No greater in- jury can be done to the pride of the American people than to throw the firebrand of class hatred into their midst"
