sTRIckER A GOOD sLuFFER.

Quaker City Fan Loses Money on Sec.

Here's a good one ON Cub Stricken,
who played second base for the Ath-

Frank Day. "The game was p, puliar

every instance was close, but when
Cub Stricken would toss in the ball
and run back to his position the um-

the base runner without any hesita-

my friend, coming down on the car.

"Why, he didn't touch more than

called out stealing. I'll bet you $40 to

A BAD HABIT
A Millionaire Who Takes No Profit
From His Business

Chicago, March 20.-N. o. Nelson of
st. Louis. millionaire against his
will, told a Chicago audience these
things about the rich and riches:
Getting rich is merely a habit--a
bad habit. :, :!
Wealth piles up a load on the shoul-
ders of the captains of industry.
Wealth is a menace to children and
grandchildren who had no hand in it's
accumulation.
There is no comfort in living in a
mansion with half a dozen servants.
l saw a 100000 mansion the other
day, built from the proceeds of a cot
ton corner.
and cost the livelihood of hundreds of
thousands of cotton-mill operatives.
You know and know that the hard
est job a man can have is living up
to big income.
Try living with the poor. Hire
room for $3.50 week an eat ten-cent
breakfasts. 1t won't hurt you. The
microbes of disease are no more likely
to harm you there than in a steam
heated room for which you would pay
IS to IS a day.
Now, have ceased to take any divi-
dends from our business. Although it
is operated in my name, the employees
all get dividends on their wages,
amounting during the last ten years
to from four to ten per cent. This goes
toward buying an interest in the busi-
ness and paying for houses, except
three-tenths of it, which is devoted to
philanthropies.
Mr.. Nelson built the town of LIE
Claire, ILL.,, opposite st. Louis, and
there conducts a mammoth profit-shar-
ing business with 1000 employees

JACK TAR AND HIS MONEY.

Economical "Good Time" Result ot
superintendent's Ruse.
In the Sailors Home in Brooklyn
the navy boys deposit for safe keep
.ng in the course of year many thou
sands of dollars. Some time ago. one
of them, after being paid of at the
end of his enlistment, had 500, which
he deposited with the superintendent
Of the home-al1 but $50, with which
he intended to have a good time
Along about midnight he returned in a
hilarious condition and asked for $50
more. The superintendent handed
him two one-dollar bills, and the sailor
went of, apparently satisfied. The fol.
lowing morning he dropped in and re.
quested the superintendent to give
him the balance of his money, as he
was going home. The superintendent
offered him $648.
NO." said the sailor; 'I'm not that
kind of chap. l don't want to cheat
you out of $4S. drew 800 from you
last night. and you've paid me $4s
too much"
You're mistaken" said the super.
intendent. when you came the sec.

"All right, governor" replied the

Waves That Rise and Fatl.

Every once in while wave Of
public sentiment sweeps across the
country, as definable in it's movement
and character as any other reaI aad
physical thing. Generally speaking,
this popular feeling finds expression
in suggested legislation or constitu-
tional amendment Any student Of
American history, viewed from its 20
litical and legislative standpoint,
knows that an examination of congress
sional records presents panaruma,
SO to speak, of great public move
ments, eliminating sometimes in ac-
.ual legislation, but more frequently
subsiding without definite result. It
is a good thing to clear the political
and social atmosphere with these up-
heavals. Stagnant air is fatal, and
even cyclone, with all its accom-
panying trouble, is preferable to an
atmosphere SO heavy that it has lost
all its Washington Post

TO ORGANIZE WOMEN
Will Have Unions Of Their Own in 4
Short Time

Will Have Unions Of Their Own in a
Short Time
Miss Adams and Mrs. Henrotin
are among the leaders of a great
movement to organize women into
trades unions throughout the country.
At the meeting this week in New York
to organize the Women's Trade Union
league Jane Adams spoke eloquently
of the need of improvement in the
condition of women workers and of the
folly of such optimists as thought
wrongs would right themselves. Only
by large and strong combinations can
women hope to meet their employers
on any basis which will secure the
assurance of a good wage and fair
hours. The employer is helpless, un-
der the stress Of competition, unless
those who work for his competitors
also demand the same improved con-
ditiOns.
Women need to be aroused from
their carelessness to the duties of or
ganization. They are quite too prone
to think of their labor as temporary
makeshift and to regard too lightly
their responsibility as one of large
army equally dependent upon their
own resources.
With Mrs. Henrotin of Chicago as
president of this new league there
should be a vigorous prosecution of
work.-Denver News.

SEES THE MISTAKE
The coIe-Davis Shoe Company Of Chi
cago, lndorses the Label

After six months trial of the open
shop" policy advocated by the Chicago
Employers Association, the Cole-Davis
Shoe Company has withdrawn from
the Boot and Shoe Manufacturers AS
sociation and signed closed shop
Workers Union. E. NJ. Cole. president
of the company, said that he had taken
the step for business reasons because
he had found out that it paid to have
the union shop.
We never had any serious trouble
with the union," said Mr.. Cole, "and
discontinued the use of the stamp in
common with the other manufacturers
in the city six months ago. At that
time all the shoe manufacturers COM
bined and declared for the open shop.
l find that many of my best customers
demand the union stamp, and l do not
propose to lose their trade through
standing for an abstract principle that
means nothing to me.
"Out of the 200 shoe workers whom
we employ l do not suppose there are
dozen who are not paid up members
of the union. They will have to get in
line with the others or quit, as 1 have
signed a union agreement and will
carry out it's provisions. 1 have no
criticism to make of the policy of my
competitors. They can suit themselves,
but l want the union stamp in my busi-
ness and have taken the necessary
steps to get it."-Jamestown Advocate.

Old settlers, Party.

Quite number of old timers met at
the home of John Emig last Friday
evening and had a regular old fashioned
time. Mr.. Emig built new house for
himself last fail and devoted a part Of
this winter to finishing it up on the in
workman and those who have seen his
home say he has ore OF the best finished
aud most convenient homes in the
valley.
1t is not our intention to convey the
impression that Mr.. Emig is no longer
a young man but we have heard it re-
marked on that when single a man of
his age builds a house and finishes it
up as he has his own, 1t is reasonable 10
suppose something is going TO happen.
The friends of Mr.. Emig who assem-
bled at his house last Saturday evening
put in most enjoyable time dancing,
playing games and such other innocent
amusement rs only old timers would in
dulge iu. What would scarcely be ex-
pected Mt the homo of an old bachelor,
Mr.. Emig served his friends with a
most deleetable luncheon, after which
all departed for their respective homes.
These old settler parties are becom-
ing quite popular, and indeed, why
should they not be both popular and
frequent. We would be glad to record
one every week. They are promotive
of good feeling and cheer the hearts of
all who attend.
Jno. Emig settled in this valley on
the place where he now lives, adjoining
the town on the north in 1894. He
moved into his new house last Satur-
day, March llth, which was also his
10th birthday. The following neighbors
and friends assisted at the house warm
ing: Nick Kincherf and wife, II.

h. F. REED DEFEATED AT HOME.

There can be no doubt but
that B. f. Reed was defeated by
his own party, due to factional
strife, each faction fearing that
his election meantsthe other fac
ton getting control, hence, he
was sacrificed TO party dissen-
ton at home, which would not
have occurred at a general cleo
ton. The fight made against
him in his own party was purely
personal and in no sense politi-
cal.
HE was under a serious handi-
cap, having only six days in
which to make his canvas of two
counties. while Mr.. Gum had
ten, four days more in which to
wage his fight, which all must
concede great advantage, con-
sidering the brief interval al
lowed. Mr.. Reeds strong per-
sonality has made him some enc
mics, also some warm friends
which quite naturally caused the
contest to wax warm. Every
thing considered. Mr.. Reed made
a good run despite the suspicion
of each faction of his party, he
being the victim of each, and by
this Mr. Gum profited. 1t is
conceded by those who claim to
know. that had the election been
put off two or even one day, that
Reed would have won out. He
gained ground very fast the last
two days and sentiment in his
favor was gaining ground. In
deed, some of his supporters did
him an actual harm, though not
Intentionally. No one questions
Mr.. Reeds ability. These are
the facts as we understand them,
without prejudice or malice and
we publish them in the interest
of common courtesy TO all con.
cerhed. "-Ellensburg Dawn.
Mr.. Reed was defeated in his
own county by disgruntled re-
publicans who failed to get the
coveted place themselves and
set about to defeat the nominee.
1t is the plain duty of the rank
and file of the republicans of
Kittitas county to see that the
political traitors who accomp-
lished Mr.. Reeds defeat be kept
in the back ground. The only
way to keep up effective party
organization is to punish party
traitors by RELOCATING them to
the rear
