Good Form ct Girls Collsoes.

The college girl is kept as rigidly
away from the opposite sex as
though she were to take the veil
instead of degree. In college
girls who smile prettily, dress their
hair becomingly and try to be at
tractlve are called "barmaidy." A
self assertive, sexless, knock-vou-
down-if-you-look-at-m demeanor is
considered good form.--From the

Lucky Thirteen.

There was one instance at least
when thirteen was lucky number.
An obituary notice OF John Hat
field, who died in l1t0 at the age Of
l02, states that when he was SOL
der in the time of William and
Mary he was tried by court mar
tial on the charge of having fallen
asleep when on duty. The notice
went on to state that Hatfield de-
MED the accusation and said that as
proof of his being awake at the time
he heard the clock in St. Paul's
strike thirteen. This seemed. silly
on the face of it, and Hatfield was
condemned But while he was
awaiting his execution an affidavit
was made by several persons that on
that particular night the clock did,
for some mysterious reason, strike
thirteen instead of twelve, and Hat
field received the kings pardon,

Leg of the Spsrrows.


The Greek church people of Rus.
STA regard swallows as being sacred
birds, but kill sparrows whenever
the opportunity affords. They de-
clare that the swallows ministered
to Jesus while he was hanging on
the cross, bat that the sparrows
tore his flesh and did their best to
pluck out his eyes. On this account
they say that the sparrows' legs are
.nylslbly bound, which causes their
gait to be a succession of painful
1ops' In this way is the sparrow
doomed to move about until the day
Of judgment.

The ceremonial of the Chinese
court, which used to include COM
plete prostration before the throne,
was once the occasion for a display
Of cool aa.acity. In the eighteenth
century Persian envoy refused to
60 through the degrading ordeal,
and directions were given to the
officials to compel him by strata%cm
to do so. On arriving one day at
the entrance to the hall of audience
the envoy found no means of going
in except by wicket, which would
compel him to stoop very low. With
great presence of mind and consid-
cradle audacity the ambassador
turned around and entered back
ward, and thus, according to his
own conception of etiquette, saved
the dignity of his country from out
rage.

Flowers on Watery Grave.

"Therc is the quccrest passenger
I've ever seen on these boats" re-
marked a deck hand on a Staten Is
land ferryboat. He nodded in the
direction Of a woman dressed in
black whose whole attitude bespoke
some ever present grief, "She
comes down here every Sunday" he
continued, "and always seems to
catch this particular boat. She
brings few flowers with her, and
when We get down near Robbins
reef she drops the flowers over
board, one by one, into the water.

NOTICE TO HORSES.

Hickory. one of if not the most
valuable of our native woods, has
become so scarce that many substi-
tutcs have of necessity been found
for it, The wonderful increase in
the demand for buggies and car
rlages of the finer class had much to
do with the virtual exhaustion of the
great American hickory forests.
England, Germany, China, Aue-
tralla, South Africa and the South
American countries made strong
acquisitions on the American sup
ply Years ago the supply of this
fine wood north of the Ohio river
had been exhausted. Despite sub
stitutes and changed conditions,
hickory remains one of the most
valuable of American woods.

ONE WE'LL KNOWN LEADER
James O'Conrell Will Be Prominent
Among Convention Speakers. = =.

2 Among the many. well-known leaders
of organized labor that will attend the
convention of the American Federatio
of Labor at Minneapolis beginning
Nov IL, there is none better known,
with the exception of Mr.. Gompers
and Mr.. Mitchell, than James O'Con-
nell, president of the International AS
ISOLATION Of Machinists. .~.<.. l..
Mr.. O'DOnnell is not stranger to
the twin cities, altho some time has
elapsed since his last visit to this part
of the country. He will be remem
bered by many outside as well as inside
the ranks of organized labor, for the
plea he made against child labor at the
Exposition building in Minneapolis, at
the convention of the Eight Hour
league. His name will be recognized
by every man who works at the ma
chinist s trade. for he has been with
the machinists' organization from its
inception. Holding the high position
national president, he is not only well
known but well liked by the rank and
file Of the mahcinists organization.
Mr.. O'Connell has always been ,promi-
nent in the American Federation Of
Labor, at present holding the office of
third vice president, and as such is a
member of the executive board. AL
tho this board deals with the grievances
of every international and local union
in the country, James 'Connell has
few if any enemies among the many
different crafts for which he has rem
dered decisions.

President McElroy of the State FEEDER
alton of Labor is authority for the
statement that this committee will take
up the matter of labor legislation in the

hopes to accomplish much owing to the
fact that many of the successful can

Steps will be taken to secure favor
able action on lumber Of measures
which were set aside at the last session
of the legislature, and much new legis-

HUBER FOR HIGH PLACE
Minneapolis Man Urged for President Of
United Brotherhood of Carpenters,

Resolutions were passed recently by
Carpenters union No, z, indorsing Will
liam II. Huber for president of the
United Brotherhood. of Carpenters and
Joiners. Circulars are being, sent out
in his behalf, signed by j. P. O'Riley,
president, and w. R. Murphy, secretary,
urging his reelection. The success and
phenomenal growth of the international
body are cited, and the membership is
warned that change at this time mi ght
result disastrously.
In this city, where, President Huber
is well known. and where many mem
bers of the local union are familiar
with all the workings Of the general
office, there is no question about Huber
receiving favorable vote, but it is for
the most part in the places which have
no representation in conventions where
there is any chance for reverse.
