At 1880 a tiny little fly fluttered in
at Browns window and alighted on
Browns nose. He stirred uneasily
and stopped snoring. The fly f1uttered
away, flew around in a circle and
alighted again. Brown shook his head
and put his hand to his face. The lit
tie fly fiirted about for moment, lit
on Browns fingers and crawled
through them to the attractive nose.
Brown opened his eyes and brushed
it off petulantly. 1t returned again.
Brown kept his eye open, shooed it
away and watched it rise toward the
ceiling. Back it came. Brown reached
out and grasped for it. 1t eluded him.
He grasped again. 1t flew tauntingly
back to the ceiling. He sat up in bed
and watched it approach-nearer-
nearer. At last it alighted on the
Counterpart. Brown lifted his palm
and brought it down with tremendous
force. The fly was dead!
But Brown was wide awake now
With sigh he got up and began to
dress.

THE CARPENTERS.
Complaint Made About a Firm Claim
ing to Be Fair.

1t is we'll known to organized labor
that the firm of Miller & Paine has
been posing as the friend of organized
labor and frequently so expressed
themselves in the past. In consequence
this firm received large amount OF
trade from organized labor. Frequent
expansions are necessary in the house
of Miller & Paine to accommodate
such Increased patronage.
1t is a noteworthy fact that they en-
ploy practically all non-union carpen-
tiers in the construction and expansion
of their plant. Miller & Paine are at
the present time making changes in
their plant that requires the employ
ment of a number of carpenters. Miller
& Paine, by their agent, called upon
our business agent and made a deal

LABOR SUNDAY"
Eight Thousand Presbyterian Minis

Eight Thousand Presbyterian Minis
tiers Will Observe it Next Week.
Just as Memorial Day and the sew
eral Birthdays show our apprecia-
services, and just as the churches
holy days do honor to those who
have served mankind spiritually, SO
Labor Sunday should be observed
by the churches to honor the millions
of toilers who daily serve mankind in
the humber places of life.
The Presbyterian Department Of
Church and Labor called attention to
eight thousand Presbyterian ministers
in this country to preach on some
phase phase of the industrial problem
on the Sunday before Labor Day. The
response to our appeal was most graft
flying.
A similar suggestion has gone out
from our Office for the coming Labor
Sunday" and already the indications
are ludt Tie 1udltSl Will NC lethCA up ~

ter, besides good many ministers of
other denominations.

day making it an annual affair, can
! not but result in great good to the
cause of the workingman. But in order
/ to make the plan most effective, work

with the churches. l would therefore
suggest that wherever minister takes
advantage of this occasion to preach
on the labor problem, the workingmen
! in his community turn out in force to
! listen to his address. Wherever it is
possible my suggestion would be thai
! either local unions or central bodies
take official action, not only endorsing
such a movement on the part of the

notifying the preacher to that effect

600 Found in His Room.

Chicago, Special Federal war
rant was served on Charles Whitney
Norton, who was arrested by the po-
lice and who is said by the police
and postal authorities to be respo-
sible for extensive swindling opera
tions, when he was taken to the
county Jail. He will be arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Foot soon. The specific case
for which Norton was arrested was in
connection with Arizona mining stock
It is claimed that Norton has de-
frauded people in all parts of the
United States out of bonds and Sc
curities amounting to $3,0O0,OO0.
1t is claimed by the officers that
Norton would obtain stock from any
person who would trust ham, and
agree to sell it in the market. He
might, the police declare, sell the
stock and he might retain it, but the
result to the person owning the stock
was the same. They would receive
no money from Norton, nor would
the stock be returned to them.
In his room were found bonds,
stocks, abstracts of land titles, first
mortgages, and other negotiable pa
pers, the greater part Of which is
thought to be genuine and worth al
most 100000.
The postal authorities declare that
they have been searching for Norton
since January, 1895, when he disap-
peared from Detroit, Mich, osten-
sibly to go to London, Eng. About
two years later Norton was in Ell
mira, operating the American Whole
sale Brokerage Company. It is also
claimed that he was arrested III Troy,
N. Y, also in Rutland, VT, where he
served sentence Of one year in jail
for the fraudulent use Of the mails.
1t is claimed by the police that
Norton solicited stocks and land
titles of all descriptions to sell. When
pressed by customers for the stock
turned over to him he Informed them
that he would go to London, Eng,
in order to obtain a better market.
Titles to deeds and lands in Nebras-
ka, Kentucky Tennessee HI irgg:taia IA
and other States running into thous-
ands of acres, were found in Norton s
possession. One deed describing So
600 acres Of pine lands in Virginia
and another describing 10000 acres
in Nebraska, appeared to be genuine.
