Practical Suggestions for Union Men And

the strongest unions in the city and is

while helping other union men along

and cooperation of every union man

Last week The Wageworker printed
true story relating an experience y,
ID union taanster named Swisher He
left his card in his coat pocket at the

deliver lead of coal in the neighbor-

OF the house refused to sigl for it until

That's the kind OF unionism that
counts today. If every union man and
woman in the city would refuse TO
receive coal delivered by non-union
team drivers the Team Drivers Union
would receive boost that would hene-

for the whole mass OF wage earne-s
more than for the exclusive benefit Of
tLeir own minority membership? Win
they rely enough upon their power to

drivers, buy your coal somewhere else.
If you are in the union game at all
get into it with both feet. Do you have
to move? Insist that the transfer conf
pany furnish you with union driver.
If the company does not employ union
teamsters, go somewhere else. Make

the label on your clothing and then
failing to specify that your coal AMI
wood shall be delivered by union driv-
ers is not the right kind of union

may come when they will be in po-
sition to render effective service to ot:,

AMAZING PIGEON Story.

When you do thing do it well.
When you do friend do him well
also, and when you tell story let it
be the best Of its kind. F, H, S. Nor
olson tells the most amazing pigeon
yarn ever heard. During the Franco
Prussian war the French caught q
1oming pigeon which was being sent
to transmit information into the be-
sieged city of Paris. The bird was
made prisoner of war and kept in
confinement for ten years. When
given its liberty it at once returned
to its old home That bird must
have been tortured daily in prison to
make it hate the place and long al
ways for its cote in Germany.-New

ORIGIN OF MODERN CARTOON.

Began with the Publication Of Punch
in 1841.
The birth of Punch in 1871 was the
beginning of the modern caricature,
although these cartoons, now SO ia
nous, did not start until 1843. Punch,
it is alleged, did far more than merely
to change the Technology of carica-
ture; he revolutionized it's spirit; he
made it possible for Gladstone to say
of it that 'in his early days when an
artist was engaged to produce political
satires he nearly always descended to

UNIQUE London Church.

The church of st. Ehelburga, Bish-
opsgate street, London, is quite a nov
city in the way OF ecclesiastical archi-
lecture. In the forefront of the church
is an opticians shop and also a cut
lery establishment, both belonging to
one firm. This is probably the only
church in England which has two
shop fronts built into it.

"shore Acres"

"Shore Acres" the sweetest and tru-
Test play ever written of New England
farm life, will be seen at Fishers next
Tuesday evening. Although Mr.. Herne
wrote many plays and all of them
treated of American home life, yet none
OF them has been so universally ad-
mired as shore Acres" which now has
record Of over ten years continued
success. The play has some exquisite
touches OF human nature and its mani
fold beauties cannot fail to enlist the
syinpathies OF any audience. The story
of love, hope, faith. patience. ambition
and greed that makes up the circum-
stances Of almost everyone's life Is
told In a mastery mannery by the
simple folk Mr.. Herne introduces In
this charming pastoral comedy and Its
pathetic and comic scenes move tC
tears and laughter, while its more stir
ring episodes carry the onlooker for
ward with unabating interest to the
very end OF the last act. Monday morn
