TIE ELEVATOR Roy.

There was Il lean, frecklcd.faced boy
who year or two ago ran the elevator
up and down In nm old, shackly Office
building in Philadelphia. | often went
M in II, but certainly | never suspected
"Billy" of any noble quality which
raised him above other boys, high as
was Saul among his brethren.
But one day the old house began TO
shudder and Troan 10 It's foundations,
and then one outer wall after another
fell amid shouts OF dlsmay from the
crowds In the streets. And Billy, as
these walls came crashing down, ran
his old lift up TO the topmost story and
ana women. lie dld this nine times.
Only one side OF the building was now
standing. The shaft OF the elevator
was left bare, and swayed TO and fro.
The police tried to drag the boy out Of
II, and the mass Of spectators yelled
with horror ms he pulled the chain and
began to rise again above their heads.
"There's two women up there yet"
said Billy stOlidiy, and he went on mp
10 the top. facing n horrible death each
minute. and knowing that he faced It.
Presently through the cloud Of dust the
lift was seen coming jerklly down with
three figures on it. As II touched the
ground the whole building fell with
crash. The women and the boy came
ont on the stree. unhurt. and roar
of triumph rose from the mob. Scores
had been saved by the fidelity Of the
heroic elevator boy.
But It was o'clock, and Billy slipped
quietly away in the dusk and went
home to his supper; for your real hero
does not care to remain for the shouts
and clapping of hands.-Rebecca Hard
ing Davis, in The Interior.

HUGE RILLFISH ON LINE.

Two fishermen on the schooner Ida
Silva. after they had made fast at Y
wharf, Boston, told the longshoremen
n story which so much savOred Of
whaling fiction chat it was not believed
until the raconteurs exhibited billfish
weighing 400 pounds and measuring
nineteen feet and seven inches.
The dory of the Ida Silva was lying
at the southern end Of the Georges,
when one Of the two fishermen in it
felt terrific tug on his line. He start
ed to pull and eventually drew the
catch near enough to see what it was.
He played with it until his compan-
ion procured a harpoon. After several
unsuccessful throws the harpoon
struck and the fish darted away. The
original line snapped, but the fisher
man who had the harpOon held on to
his line.
The fish shot seaward at n terrific
speed. dragging the dory. The fisher.
men tied the line to n seat of the dory
and waited, in the hope that the fish
would tire out. For two hours, Gey
declare, they were every moment on
the point of severing the harpoon line,
in such danger was the dory of swamp
ing.
When the fish eventually tired out
and foated near enough to the surface
to be killed by an oar the fishermen
were in such a state of nervous exhaus-
ton that they had practically to be
lifted aboard the Silva. They think
the dory travelled nine miles.

So, stranger, II you're weary
OF the crushing load of life,
II your JOY has run TO sorrow,
Your peace to kissing strife,
ii your heart is sadly pleading,
And your spirit pines Away
For the balm which grows in Gilead,
Turn your weeping eyes this way.
The House OF Rest is open,
You are welcome to the dead;
There is room still for another
In the geni's magic bed.
Resistlcss fascination
Draws the restless world this way
In long and weird procession,
Slowly marching day by day;
From a monarch to the peasant,
A republic of degrees,
Forever flowing nitheI
As the rivers to the seas
Profound shall be their slumber,
Redeemed from ache or pain,
Until the Great Magician
Calls, to wake them up again.

WISCONSIN LABOR IS
AGAINST DUAL UNION
State Federation Of Labor,
While Sooialistically In
clined is Regular.
Passes Well Framed Resolu-
tions in Opposition to In
dustrial Convention.

Milwaukee, Aug. 3.-In the convention
Labor, held at Marinette last week,
resolutions were passed in opposition
to the Industrial Movement organized
at Chicago recently.
The resolutions were wholly unex-
peoted from this state labor body, which
has a national reputation for being a
socialistic institution. Let this be as it
may, the delegates to this convention
evidently did not assemble to show off
their prejud1ces, but for good, cool
headed work. calculated to press the
labor movement forward to increasing
efficiency.
The resolutions on the subject of dual
organiza tons which the the convention
passed by an overwhelming vote has
shattered the hopes of the rebels who
contriVed to merge the Socialist Trade
and Labor Alliance an the old Western
Labor Union into a dual organization
to the A. F. of L., and who had boast
ed that Wisconsin would be one Of their
chiefest strongholds. Here are the res
olutions:
WHEREAS, No matter how mani
fold are the tasks Of trade unionism,
its main purpose must be the better
ment of wages and of the working con-
ditions, and in order to accomplish this
aim, every trade union must therefore
try to weld together all the available
fellow worlzmen into the organization
and
WHEREAS, It is we'll known by dire
experience that two trade unions OF the
same craft that oppose each other are
worse than none. and especially the
experiment of the now defunct Social
list Trade and Labor Alliance has clear
~ proven that such dual organizations
lead to organized scabbery and to the
poisoning Of the labor movement, and
WHEREAS, It is clear to every
thinking workingman that the trades
union movement must work out it's
own salvation and must bring about
such reforms into it's tactics, methods
and organization. as are made neces-
sary by the progress of the time and
are the result Of the understanding Of
the rank and file, and that especial
ly the question Of organization by in
dustrial groups must be solved by the
trade unions themselves and cannot be
solved for them by outsiders; therefore
be it
RESOLVED, That we consider the
recent formation of the so-called In
dustrial Workers of the World formed
by outsiders under the pretext Of I'm
dustrialism'' as slightly disguised ef-
fort to revive the treacherous and scab-
by Socialist Trades and Labor Alliance
and as an hostile act against bona fide
trade uniontsn. calculated to split up
and ruin the forces Of labor; further
more be it 80. =
RESOLVED, That the delegates Of
the 18th Annual Convention of the Wis
consfn State Federation Of Labor here
by warns all the trade unions affiliated
with our body and every honest man
in Wisconsin that the giving. of any
help. aid or comfort to the so-called
Industrial Workers of the World'
means giving help, aid and comfort to
the enemies of ORGANIZED labor. and
whether done with good intention or
not can only result in great damage
to the general labor movement of Amer
lea.

A rest room for women will be one of
the features provided for the comfort
of the bands patrons at the carnival
grounds. A large tent will be adequate
~ furnished and provided with a ma
tron in charge, who will render all
assistance possible to callers. This fea-
ture will prove especially attractive
to women patrons from out Of town,
who will find it convenient to visit
the rest rooms.
Work was begun Wednesday on the
huge fence which will enclose the car
nival grounds and everything will be
in readiness for the big show when it
arrives in the city from Sheboygan,
Wis. Although this is a long jump,
the Omaha line, which carries the
Royal Blue Flyer" has promised to
furnish exceptionally fast time for the
carnival company.
Good weather is the only requisite
now for the most successful carnival
ever pulled off at the head of the
lakes. With this feature it is a certain
ty that huge crowds will be attracted to
the city and that the band men will
receive ample return for their earnest
labors of the past theee months in
preparing for Duluth's great gala fete.
