FOR THE LITTLE ONES
How Carlo Learned to Take Care OF
the Home Chickens.

Carlo early manifested a love for
watching and chasing chickens, a
pastimc not to be neglected with
the small opportunities Of the city.
We soon, by kindness and frmness
and much talking, broke him Of
disturbing our own chickens. We
often took a little chick in our
hands and said to him, "Pretty
chicky, Carlos chicky," and allow
ed him to lick it gently. Soon it
was not only safe, but safer, to have
him in the pen with the chicks than
otherwise, as then no rat or mouse
dared venture there. From the first
Carlo has deemed these marauders
worthy Of death whenever and
wherever seen and acts out his con.
victions. As the chicks grew their
number was reduced to twelve, and
these we're transferred to the barn.
Every night for two years Carlo
made detour of the perches, Civ
ing each fowl a good Iick--thcy
we're so acquainted it didn alarm
them at all--and if one or more of
the number we're absent he would
Immediately scour the premises un-
til it was found, then give pocuI-
lar bark, indicating the discovery,
nor would he give it up till the
number was complete. Could he
count? How did he know there
should be just twelve, no more, no
less MARY Il. Holmes in Science.

Buttlng the Wall.

Place a stool on the ground
against the wall. Now stand from
the wall, with your feet twice the
width of the stool away.
Stoop down and seize the stool
by the top in both hands and place
the top of your head against the
wall, your back almost horizontal.
Now lift or try to lift it from the
ground without assistance.
Be sure to try it on carpeted
floor, so that your fall may not be
painful or disagreeable. Your fail
ure is due to a curious effect of the
displacement of your center of gray

Lost Article Album.

The French railway companies
have issued to all stations an al
bum which contains pictures Of ev-
cry possible article that traveller
is likely to have about him. Owing
to the great number of passengers
who are unable to speak French it
is often found difficult to trace lost
articles from the description given.
Now all that a passenger has to do
is to point to the missing article in
the album.

March in the Procession.


There is procession started
in fact well ON its way At its
beginning there were embarrass-
ments Of various sorts. There
was environment, but those who
are marching managed to pull
themselves away from them,
There was Encouragement, that
friendly advice always given u
q man when he is to launch out
on untried seas. There were
drawbacks of various kinds, -
only those who have encountered
them are able to realize fully their
weight. The goal of this pro cess
ion is nothing short of success.
Not only glory and ailluence await
the marchers at the end of their
journey but there are certain
cool hooks along the way where
necessary rest may be obtained.
Now, this procession is none
other than the procession of the
progressive. 1t is composed of
those who are willing to share
what plearures there are to be
found along the way with their
fellow men. Those who are num-
bered in this ever increasing null
tltude are of broad minds and
liberal IN spirit. They believe in
the goodness of things as they are
with the ever Astounding hope that
the time is coming when condi-
tions will be better. A spirit of
optimism sDothes and comforts
the marchers and they never lose
hope that success is certain and
will he attained
Life, with them, is constant
effort to keep in touch with the
new order of things, whatever
that new order may be, provided
that its preachment Is wise and
of benefit to the major portion
of persons concerned.
There are to be no backward
steps taken ia the march. 1T 10
no "cat in the well" proposition.
The marchers are ever climbing
higher and higher and the light
that guides them on the way, is
the pole star of success and hui
man adv }'ment.
The success they seek IS not
material wealth alone, for the
mere accumulation of money is
not success. rhey seek to make
the stony roads more smooth toI
those who may come after. They
endeavor to do unto others rs they
would be done by; to tighten TIN
burdens of those more unfortul
nate than they. Their last con
sideration is the making of mon
ey through which means the
may help to tighten the burden
of the toilers and make the worl
better for their having lived,
In n word the marchers al
progressive. They do not cour
the cost Of their endeavors if b
them they make more happy son
of the least of these"
There are many readers of TT
Press who ara among the marc
ers. There are those who are II
and to these let it be said tn
true success comes MOTTO tho
who pull back but unto them on
who seek to uplift and who p
their shoulders to the wheel tn
the greater number may derl
benefit.

WOMAN,S LABEL LEAGUE
Entertainment Wednesday Evening
Was a Most Successful One.

The entertainment given Wednes
day evening at A. 0. U. w. hall by the
Woman's Union Label league was an
enjoyable affair and a large number
were present. The program consisted
of piano numbers, recitations by Miss
Bessie May MacKeen, and short talks
on labor topics by Charles E.. James
Of st. Paul; Charles F. Ceilley, Philip
Carlin and E.. E.. Stevens of The
Union. Mrs. Whitlock, president of
the league, in her opening address,
said in part:
Women must not imagine that work
for the union label is ever done. 1t Is
just like sweeping and dishwashing, max
ing beds and: getting out a newspaper.
The minute you are thru you must begin
it all over again Women have it in their
power to advance, the interests of organ
lied labor to even a greater extent than
the men who belong to the union, and
women have been and must ever be in
favor Of all things which make for the
betterment of the home.
The members Of the league are
pleased with the success Of the enter
tainment and are making decided pro-
gress. These meetings will be con-
tinued and the date of the next one
will be announced soon.

In a little over three months she
has got to choose between her little
son, Elbridge Gerry, and her win
some, curly haired little girl, Dorothy
Violet. That is the stern decree Of a
stern court to which Mrs. Snow, in
her distress over her domestic
troubles, rushed, for release. Young,
beautiful and rich, this young mother
sits to-day in her splendid apartments
in La Rochelle, at 81 West Seventy
fifth street, with her children playing
at her feet, and wonders If it was
worth while.
She has brought into her life an
even greater misery than that which
she was enduring before, and there
is only one way out of ia way
which cannot even be considered. A
reconciliation with her husband, after
all that has passed, is not possible,
say the friends Of both; yet in no 9TH
er way is this crisis in her life to be
overcome.
Says the order of the unsentimen-
| tai court:
Order of the Court.
| Mrs Snow may have one of the
children, her husband the other. Mrs
Snow has until March, 5, 1904, to
choose which child she shall keep
If she does not choose by that time
which child he pleases. leaving the
other to the mother. Either parent
may see the child it yields two OF
three times week, and once month
may have the child from Friday unit
/ Monday In the event of the death
of either parent, the surviving parent
shall have both children. Mrs. Snow
is allowed $3.50 a month and $500
counsel fees. Either party may mar.

the ultimate result of the situation so
terrible for mother. Others, know
ipC,,er love for the little boy, do not
b Ne that she will ever give him
up.
There is cruel ingenuity in that
order of the court. AS tho Justice
Truax appreciated the difficulties
which the mother would encounter
and could not make so grim a choice,
he gives the father the privilege, at
the end of two, days of grace, to en-
ter the mothers home and help him
self to his choice of the children.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Snow will
avail himself of this privilege if his
wife forces him to 1t, for he is des-
perately anxious to get his children
from their mother.
Stormy Married Life.
The married life of the Shows has
been stormy one. A crisis was
reached a year ago, when Mrs. Snow
was out all night in an automobile
between this city and Lakewood. She
and her husband separated. Mrs.
Snow began suit for divorce. Mr..
Snow countered with another suit,
and referee was called upon to
straighten the situation. It was his
Solomonic idea to give each parent a
child, recommendation which the
court acted upon, amending it as
shown in the ruling just handed down.
Mrs. Snow will not see anybody to-
day. She will not say what she is
going to do. No one knows the storm
/ that is raging in her mother heart
Meanwhile her husband sits gri1nly
at his desk, waiting for March 5. to
1 come around and fully determined as
/ to his course on March Z, If the moth
! er's choice has not spared him.

.
Twin city stonemasons are to affil-
late with the International Stonena-
sons union. This step was decided
upon at the meeting of the Minneap
oils union Tuesday night st. Paul had
already determined Of the cast its lot
with the International craft, and as
both unions have always had working
agreements, the local union followed
the lead taken by ST. Paul. Up to
last week there was a vast difference
of opinion in both unions as to what
should be done in regard to the mat
i ter of afhliating with an international.
The fact; that a number of stonema-
sons unions thruout the country are
at present allied with the Bricklayers'
international while still others are
S independent served to confuse some
as to the proper thing to be done.
Discussion Of the question covered a
period of several weeks, and as a re-
suit. when the matter came up for
final action this week, the vote was
unanimously in favor Of the action
indicated.
The acquisition Of the. twin. city
unions Will give the International
Stonemasons' union a fOOthold in the
north, som ething which 1t has not had
heretofore, and this may aid mate
rally in accomplishing the federation
of all unions Of the craft under the
banner of the Stonemasons' Interna-
tional, which is a much desired result.

The Snow children are very beau
tiful, very sweet in disposition, are
tremendously popular in La Rochelle,
and closely resemble their mother.
Mrs Snow idolizes them. Night and
day for months she has kept them
close by her for fear her husband
would take them from her. i Thru
court after court Mr.. Snow has been
fighting for the possession Of the
children and has been as consistently
combatted, by the mother. The ennis

EXPECT EIGHT-HOURs r VICTORY
Local Unionists Don't Believe Nine

Nearly every labor union that has
met since the Trades and Labor as
sembly took a hand in the controversy
regarding the pay and hours ofawork
of the laborers employed by the city
has passed resolutions intended to aid
the cause of the laborers. Union men
are not at all satisfied at the COM
promise proposition coming from the
council committee. The adoption of
the recommendations of the commit
tee, they say, would be a decided re-
duction from the rate of pay now in
effect. The eight-hour day is some-
thing they wish to retain, and 1t is
thought when the matter comes up in
the council tonight that the working
day will not be heightened.
