Robert H. Roberts, of Wraxham,
North Wales, England, brother of Hugh
J. Roberts of the butchers union, and
we'll known English miner, arrived in
Duluth Monday morning and is visiting
with his brother at 5511 Redruth street.
J. w. Richardson OF the carpenters
union underwent an operation this
week at St Lukes' hospital. The lat
est advices from him say that he is not
doing very well.
Ed Shears1nith Of the butchers union
is confined to- his home at Lakeside
and is threatened with diphtheria.
AL 1.-The unions are making extensive
preparations for Labor Day. The
plumbers, at thei- last meeting, voted
not to turn out in the parade. but
each member is obliged to purchase a
ticket to the Labor Day puicnic.
1t is rather quiet in labor circles
this week, and but little news can be
given which will be of interest to the
readers Of the Labor World.

Bonifacius, and asking when the
train would leave. He was informed
that the train had already left and
the next one would not leave until
Sunday.
1t was noticed that Harvey con-
tracted the muscles of his face. But
he said nothing. The depot official
saw Harvey walk into a retired cor
ner OF the wa1ting-room and take a
seat on one of the benches When
the official looked that way again,
he saw that Harvey had his hands
on the back of the bench and that
his form was shaking as If with
sobs.
The depot official went closer and
saw that his fears were true. He
asked the boy what was the trouble
and Harvey told his story.
He had arrived a. few hours be-
fore on a train from Black River
Falls. He had to change to another
train for St. Bonifacius. Having a
little time to spare he left the de-.
pot. On the streets he lost his way
and before he recovered his bear
ings missed his train.
was hungry. His ticket to St. Boni-
facius would not buy a meal, nor a
place to sleep that night. The de-
pot official turned the lad over to
Mrs. E. M. Boardman. agent of the
Travellers Aid society. The depot
official gave Mrs. Boardman a
quarter to buy a meal for the boy.
In the evening Mrs. Boardman took
Harvey to a room. Breakfast was
brought for him, and at noon Har-
vey had a meal at the depot officials
home.
When Harvey left he asked how
much money his friends had used to
care for him. He was told that the
sum was small and would never be
missed. But Harvey protested that
he would have lots of money soon.
To settle the matter he was told to
remember the debt when he should
see some other boy in his fix at a
future time, and to pay the debt to
him, thus starting an endless chain.
Harvey promised.

VERY SIMPLE, AFTER ALL.

From the Chicago Chronicles:
Alton B. Parker, at dinner in New
York, characterized as illogical the po-
sition Of two prominent financiers.
'These two gentlemen remind me-"
he said, "of two sailors who were
found, one day, seated at table be-
fore cafe.
Zone sailor had letter before him,
and was reading it aloud, while at the
same time the other sailor held his
hands over the readers ears.
1T made an odd picture-the two
sailors with their mild drink, one read
ing and the other holding his ears
while he did so.
'"The friendly waiter, impelled by an
irresistible curiosity, paused before
the table.
Why he asked. do you hold your
hands over your friends ears while he
reads that letter out loud to you?'
Because, was the dignified answer,
the letter is from my sweetheart. Jack
is reading it to me because I can't read
myself. That is all right, but I don't
want him to hear word that is writ
ten'"

M0Rk BROS. GO into
GROCERY BUSINESS
Much Needed Grocery Opened
by Enterprising Firm on
Sixth Ave. West.
Mork Bros. Get Next to Senti-
ment of the Day and Com
bine Two Institutions.

Industrious application to ones busi-
ness is sure to bring success. This Is
particularly true with the firm of
Mork Bros, who are known to the buy
ing public as retail meat dealers.
This Is an age Of consolidation In
business, as we'll as in everything. To
save the busy shoppers from going
from store to shop to make their daily
purchases for the table Mork Bros.
have decided to open modern gro
Gerry store and to operate it in con-
junction with their meat market at
the corner Of Sixth avenue west and
First street.
The new grocery Is credit to the
locality, and We predict for it sue
cess from the beginning. Neither
time nor money has been spared to
make the grocery modern in every re-
spect. The stock has been purchased
with considerable care and scrutiny.
The combined store-meat and gro
cery-will be very convenient for all
people living in that vicinity, and we
commend Mork Bros, for the very
business like stand they have taken.
Here is hoping for success.

DID HOLSTER JOKE
IN HIS ARM0RY TALK
Insinuates That Board Of Fire
Commissioners Is q Mere
Figure Head.
Chief Is Whole Thing, but This
Is True Of Every Depart
ment in the City.

The speech of Theodore HOLSTER,
Of the Board of Fire COMMISSIONS at
the Fire Chiefs convention on We'd
nesday has excited considerable in
terest among the citizens of the city,
who for some time have been wonder
ing what were the duties of the fire
commissioners and a fire chief.
Mr.. HOLSTER puts it about as fol-
lows:-
"The Fire Commissioners part is to
do. Our Board has done great work
in Duluth, by proxy-by the hands of
the chief. Fire chiefs are a great aid
to fire commissioners. The fire COM
missioners are supposed to know the
price Of hay and coal and the most
advantageous time to buy each, but
We leave it, to the chief. The fire COM
mtssioners are supposed to know all
about a fire engine and the difference
between the gas pipe and hose, but we
leave 1t to the chief. We are sup
posed to know all about a horse from
his teeth as long as he has any to
every other detail, but We leave it to
the chief after the horse has no teeth
and Is of no more use for the depart
ment to trade that horse off for a
young and healthy animal and get
money to boot.
I'VE of Duluth are proud of our fire
department. We believe We have one
Of the best departments in the United
States and that in John Black we have
one Of the best chiefs in the United
States.
This is indeed an odd speech. Was
Mr.. HOLSTER joking, or did he really
mean what he said?
And at that there is a. whole lot Of
truth IN the speech. It would make
little difference who was chief the same
condition would prevail. It comes as
a result of our system of Commissions
whose members serve without pay, and
who attend meetings to listen to re-
ports and approve Of what has been
done by the heads Of the departments.

LA CROSSE COUNCIL

LA CROSSE, Wis, Aug. 16;-The La
Crosse city council by an unanimous
vote has demanded the resignation of
City Engineer Frank G. Powell and has
given him until Aug. 20 to resign or
subject himself to impeachment. Powell
is charged with being interested in
city contracts and with improper con =

during course Of years, but the coun~

leading men and women of La Crosse
were involved and as a development of
which Mrs. Powell committed suicide.
