Made up his mind. In playful mood, to

Trickled gayly from it then,

Oh, his reason was elastic
And his thots they were fantastic,

NATION AND LABOR CLASH.

As in Miller Case, Union Workmen De-
mand Formal Recognition.
Again has the important question been
raised, Shall organized labor attempt to
force the government to recognize it's
constitution and bylaws? This question
was up not long ago at the government
printing office, where Assistant Foreman
Miller of the bindery was reinstated
upon orders from the President against
the protest of the bookbinders' union.
Miller being an expelled member of that
union
Twenty-eight union bricklayers EN-
ployed upon improvements at the arsenal
in Washington, where the war college
is located refused to work because
colored non-union bricklayer appeared on
the scaffold. 1t was necessary to in
crease the force of workmen, and to do
so Captain Sewell selected the names of
several at the top of the eligible list. The
white union men notified the foreman
that the colored non-union man must
quit or they would The matter was
taken up to Captain Sewell, who discov-
cred that while some objection was made
to the man because of his race, the prin-
cipal objection was that he did not be-
long to the bricklayers' union.
The controversy undoubtedly will be
used in the coming campaign for what
political capital it is worth, but the gov
ernment's attitude is that the laws of the
land are supreme.

DuELlNe IN AMERICA.
The First Fatal Meeting Was Upon
Historic Boston Common.

The first fatal duel fought in what
is now the United States was upon
Boston Common, between Benjamin
Woodbridge and Henry Phillips, on
the evening of July 3, 1928. These
young men had quarrelled over cards
at the Royal Exchange Tavern iE
King street, now State street, aud IN
der the influence of drink had agreed
to settle their difference with swords
in the public grounds above named.
They met at little after o'clock in
the evening, and Woodbridge had not
completed his twentietlr year. He
was a young merchant who had re-
Gently been admitted to business as
partner with Jonathan Sewall, one
of the most active merchants of the
place. Henry Phillips, young grad
uate of the college of Cambridge, was
about four years older than Wood
bridge, having at the time Of this
melancholy affair completed his TWEEN
ty-third year. Woo bridge was the
son of a gentleman of some distinc-
ton in Barbados, one of the magis-
trates there, who had formerly been
settled in the ministry as pastor in
Groton, Conn.
The place of meeting was on the
rising grounds of the Common, Dot
far from the great elm, near where
in the olden time powder house
stood. Small swords were used. No
one but themselves participated.
Woodbridge fell mortally wounded.
Phillips was slightly wounded End at
midnight, by the aid Of his brother
Gillian and Peter Faneuil, of famous
memory, made his escape to the
Sherness, British man-of-war then
lying in the harbor, and before the
sun of the next morning had fully
discovered to interested friends the
miserable result os the unfortunate
meeting he was on his way TO France,
where he died in less than year of
grief and a broken heart.-United

Is enough in the newer materials to tempt
those who hardly ought to resort to such
trimmings. But your adrot dressmaker
will so dispose OF puffings that their full
ness will not be a detriment to any ordi-
nary figure, and as for shirrings, they are
laid so fat when that is desired that lack
of slenderness is not thereby suggested.
While current styles and the fashions
in prospect, so far as the latter can be
foreseen, favor slender women nightly,
those of ample build should not despair.
There are no end of ideas that are help
full to stout fgHrcs, and the general sit
uation does not supply especial difficulty
to those who set about preparing their
wardrobes in the right fashion. There
is no better general advice than to seek
length of line, and to avoid the cutting
up of height ever consequent upon the
use Of horizontal trimmings. True, the
summer styles run a great deal &c heii-
Eontai lines, but what is the sense of
aping new fashion that brings into con-
spicuousness the worst faults of your
figure? In the variety Of dress that now
prevails there is less excuse than ever
for so doing, because there is so good in
dorsement for doing many other things.
Stole trimmings may not be the newest
fancies of the moment, but they still
have excellent standing, and are a fine
medium for stout figures. Let them be
long. reaching practically to the hem of
the skirt if the figure demands such help,
and in any case they should be of consid-
cradle width. Such a stole will disguise
