UNION CARD FOR LOVERS.
Woman Agent Tells Girls to Put La
Dor Movement Before Cupid.

Woman Agent Tells Girls to Put La
Dor Movement efore Cupid.
Love should bear the union label or
there should be no courtship, accord
ing to the ideas of Miss Angelina Maui
70, business agent Of the Garment
Workers union in st. Louis, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Miss Mauro said the other day that
every union girl should pay more atten-
ton to the question of unions and union
labor. To this end nonunion suitors
should not be considered, and nom who
wished to pay his respects to a union
girl should be encouraged till he pro-
duced his union card.
Miss Mauro was speaking at the la
Dor mass meeting at Druids' hall in st.
Louis.
"a union girl should not eve speak
to a nonunion man, said she. IF all
union girls would find out first whether
a man belonged to the union before
they entertained him and, If he didn't,
refused to recognize him, then the men
wouldn't be long i. joining the union.
"Men who work at trades or profess
sions where there are no unions should
be encouraged by the girls to patron
ize union houses and buy only union
goods. Even when a IA didn't belong
to any union organization he could in
that way show he was a union man at
heart. Where there is a possibility OF
organizing a union the girls ought to in
sist that their sweethearts or men
friends organize one"

Frozen pumpktn,s Havoc.

With a roar like q cannon a frozen
pumpkin in the kitchen Of Mrs. J. R.
Gallemore Of Fayette, Mo-, recently
exploded, tearing a stove to fragments
and strewing the premises with scraps
Of iron and pumpkin seed, says a Co.
lumbia dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Mrs. Gallemore had been max
ing pumpkin pies. She put a pumpkin
Of unusual size into the oven, kindled
q fire and stepped into an adjoining
room to wait for the pumpkin to thaw
out. There was an explosion that was
heard several blocks, and when the
Gallemore family rushed into the
kitchen they found the windows blown
out. the kitchen furniture upset and
the stove a heap of scrap iron.

JAPAN AND RUSSIA.
Striking Contrasts Between Progress
M-". of the Two Countries.

Striking Contrasts Between Progress
of the Two Countries.
COMPARISONS or contrasts between
Japan and Russia are striking in more
than one respect, says the New York
Tribune. Thus Japan has about A.
100000 people and Russia perhaps $780,
100000. Again, Japan's land ares is
scarcely 10000 square miles, while
Russia's is nearly 100000. So Russia
has nearly three times as many people
and more than fifty times as much
land as Japan, wherefore, we might
think, Russia could we'll afford to be a
little less land hungry at Japan's ex-
pense.
On the other hand, Japan, with her
80 much smaller population, has more
pupils in her schools than Russia. Ac-
cording to the latest available statis-
tics, Japan has 4,3O2,623 children in
elementary schools and Russia only
4,193, 594-that is to say, ninety-one in
every thousand Russians are in ele-
mentary schools. The disproportion OF
numbers in secondary schools and n
versities is equally marked in favor OF
Japan.
Again, Japan has 1882 postofices, or
one to every 900 people, while Russia
has only 6,O29, or one to every 21,5OO
people. Japan has under sail and steam
a commercial marine of 734,413 tons,
while Russia has only 6333,S22 tons. ia
pans purchases from the United States
amount to about $21, 900 600 a year and
Russia's to only ST., 100000.
OF course it is argued that Russia is
still in an elementary stage of develop
ment. But Russia has been in full and
direct intercourse with tie civilized
world since the time of Peter the
Great, 200 years ago, while Japan has
been in a similar state scarcely fifty
years-that is to say, Japan has made
three times the progress Russia has
and in one-fourth the time. In such
circumstances it is not at all strange
that the admiration and sympathy OF
the world are given to Japan in a
great measure.

STORY OF sULU TREATY..

Phonoxraph Said to Hav Decided

It was a photograph that caused the
sultan of Sulu to make his famous
treaty with the United States Dug

touched an electric button and a Chi

err:
1.-THE funniest thing of all was when
the mighty chief upon invitation bred
the Colt automatic gun. The explosion
of the first discharge seemed to root
him to the spot. His hands still
gripped the trigger, with the result
that shells continued to pepper the
surrounding waters. So thoroughly
frightened was the sultan it was Inn
possible to make him loosen his hold,i
and an officer ordered the cutting OF
the tape, stopping the supply of ammu-
milton.
1.-THE party was then taken to n
Of the officers rooms, and a pleasing
exhibition of the photograph was Civ
en-. The aged mother of the sultan
sat entranced Throughout the perform
ance. 1t was not until it was time for
her son to afix his signature to the
treaty that she awakened. Under n
condition only would she permit the
sultan to sign, the monograph must
become hers at once
"For a time that monograph threat
enod to be the means of upsetting all
Of General Bates well laid plans for
the amicable taking ove of b Is
lands. The owner was prevailed upon
to part with the machine in the inter-
est Of his government, and the covet

the signing of the treaty by the sui
tan"

ASSOCIATE OF TRAMPs.

"But l don't ever know nm under

Novel i d Dish.

According to a London daily paper, a
we'll known firm of west end chemists
in London is making up pills as silver
coated bonbons to be handed round on
silver dishes Immediately after the en-
tree. By this benefcent means the
unsuspecting gormand is enabled the
next day to applaud his host and host
ess for the excellent cookery and per-
feet wines of the previous evenings re-
past.
In days gone by, when we were Ill,
The nurse knew what to do;
She gave us sweet stuff with a pill,
And so she pulled us through.
But when the modern diner eats
His hostess sends a tray
OF silvered pills round with the sweets:
He blesses her next day!
