this year than ever before. Owing to
the prosperous condition of labor in
every branch of industry the celebra-
lions this year are on a much larger
and more pretentions scale than ever
| before attempted.
Here as we'll as in all large and me-
dunn sized cities, parades form the
| main feature of the official celebrat-
! lions. Only in few cities, like Knox
vile, Tenn, Reading, Pa, Nashville,
Tenn, etc, no parades were held, but
| instead there were band concerts, pic
MICS, athletic games, fire works and
other forms of pastime.
| The parade in New York will be
held in the afternoon and it is expected
| that there will be more than 10000
| workmen in line. Many of the labor
organizations will hold picnics in var
| ious parks and resorts after the par
ade. Coney Island and the other
| beach resorts offer special attractions
for the day and will undoubtedly be
crowded to their fullest capacity.
Boston had a large Labor Day par
picnics in the afternoon and evening.
1t is estimated that $4,000 men march,

, which have not marched for several
years took part in the parade this
year. The members Of the city coun-
! Gil were not invited to take part, owing
| to some recent differences between

lions.
The parade in Baltimore was larger
than ever before and included thirty
bands In the afternoon there will
be athletic games and other enter
tainments and in the evening fire.
| works.
The earthquake and destructive fire
| which visited San Francisco materially
interfered with the celebration Of
| Labor Day in that city, but the GUS
tomary parade was not omitted this
year. Some of the more prosperous
unions, like the building trades
unions, the painters, transfers, fur
niture handlers, ETC., contributed
enough to make the holding of a par
ade possible. Los Angeles also had
big parade and employed not only ev-
cry union band, but also every nom
union band in the city for that occa-
sion.
celebrated without a parade, but there
were picnics and other entertainments
for all.
Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg haA
large parades and entertainments of
all kinds in honor Of the day.
Thousands of workmen of Lewiston
and other cities in Maine joined the
workmen of Portland, Me-, in their Ia
Dor day celebration, which surpassed
every celebration of the day ever held
there
The parade in Pittsburg was unusu-
ally large and every union was rep
resented by a float. In Reading, Pa,
no parade was held, but there were
popular games, athletic contests, band
concerts and in the evening there will
be fireworks.
An unusually grand celebration was
arranged in Birmingham, Ala, lnclud-
ing a parade and picnic, which were at
tended by Governor Jelks, the Mayor
of the city and other prominent Of
ficials.

!; PLOT and COUNTERPLOT.;

S7 RTIIUR FERRIS was tall, fair,
IS\ handsome and twenty-eight. He
was also possessor of a long
head, Inherited from the maternal side
OF the house. He was likewise duti-
full son.
1t was the two latter circumstances
that had, on more than one occasion,
saved him from making a triumphant
ass Of himself. Just fancy! If it had
not been for his long head it Is more
than likely that he would have fallen
desperately in love with that bewitch-
Ing governess Of the Hastings, with
whom he had spent several weeks In
the country one summer five years ago.
But he had given himself time to think
and had fed between two days, much
to his later satisfaction.
Then there was that dear little Miss
Dixon, whom he had met at the sea-
side. 1t had been a glorious evening
that last. They were sitting on the
veranda, where they might see and yet
be unseen. The soft. dreamy strains of

SUCCESS.

At the foot of the Hill of Endeavor,
o Young One, look upward and see
The shine of the prize
That dazzles your eyes
With the CLEAN of the glory to be.
Far up In the clouds like a beacon,
Its ulster illumines the world,
And you start on your way
At the dawn of the day
With the flag of your purpose unfurled.
Youth, Hope and Ambition attend you
And the line of your march is bestrewn
With the roses that bring
You the fragrance of Spring,
While the fullness of earth seems your
own.
Up the steps of the Hill of Endeavor
You battle and toll and keep on
For the glitterng prize
That dazzles your eyes
At eve as it did at the dawn.
Its brilliance is always before you
To tighten the arduous way
That leads to success,
Through struggle and stress,
And crown you with laurel and bay.
At the top of the Hill of Endeavor,
o Old One, look downward and call
10 the brave and the true
Who are following you,
God7speed and goodcheer to them all.

FRIsco's HINDoo TEMPLE.

First Building of Its Kind I'm This
Country-Fifty Members.
MAY the Absolute bless all !" Is the
inscription over the entrance to the
Vedanta mission at 2115 Hilbert street,
the first temple in the western world
for the propagation of the Hindoo
philosophy and religion, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. Swami Triguna-
tita, the resident priest, says:
"Vedanta Is neither philosophy nor
theology nor religion, neither SCI
ence nor a system of faith nor a the
DRY; neither is 1t a scripture nor a code
Of laws nor a discipline; neither an
object nor subject nor an idea. Meth
er is 1t made by man, by sage, nor by
prophet. 1t is not made at all, it is
ever-existent. 1t Is neither of this
world alone nor of the sun or the moon
nor of even heaven alone. Vedanta Is
said to be, for that reason, infinite and
eternal. 1t Is the philosophy of philos-
ophies, the religion of all religions and
the science of all sciences. 1t Is the
end and aim of all these. 1t Is the very
terminus Of everything; nay, 1t Is be-
yond all. 1t Is the knowledge after
which all philosophers, all sciences, all
religions have ever been searching"
Swami Trigunatita Is short and ro-
tund, with the swarthy skin of his
race. II was educated In Calcutta"
said he, land when l took holy orders
was obliged to put away all secular
things and with 1t put away my En-
glish, which l am now recovering. Up
to a few years ago the Hindoos never
preached their religion to other coun-
tries or peoples and, owing to this fact,
we were misrepresented by the clergy
of other nations and races. 1t was
Ramakrishna who suggested the Idea
of missions and 1t was followed. l was
one of the missionaries selected. We
danta Is preached In centers, as we
term them, but this is the first estab-
llshed mission In the western world.
At present we have about fifty enlisted
members, but may say we have many
admirers. Our members raised the
fund with which to erect this temple.
We have many admirers both Catho-
lies and Protestants."

And Miss Field. delivering these last
words with wonderful impressiveness,
hung her head and sobbed bitterly be-
hind her lace handkerchief.
Then it was that Ferris, like the
young man of action that he was. put
as possible, and with some difficulty led
her to a seat and pulled her down on
his glossy shirt-front.
He was very. very sorry, as she must
know. But it was nothing. Her father
would recoup himself-he had many in
not him-her Arthur? He would not,

her, through a sense of false pride, to

times, no!
I'VE will have quiet little wedding,
dearest, and after 1t Is over we will go
quietly to our own little cottage in the
suburbs, which you and will get ready
in the meantime, and there we will be
the happiest couple In the world.
What! Bernice, am l to understand
that you laugh at my cherished plans?"
For Bernice had leaped to her feet

How to Use Brains.

A head man in a mandatory was
watching drayman tngging at a
heavy case one day. The drayman's
face was red, and the muscles of his
neck were bullying. The overseer, says
writer in the Baltimore Sun, thought
1t was the right moment to offer prac-
teal assistance.
"Wait a minute there" he said. LET
me show you how easy 1t is when you
use a little brain with your muscle"
And he grabbed hook. stuck it into
the case, gave yank, and went sprawl
ing into the gutter under the dray.
He got up, looked at the hook, and
said, "Confound It. the handle comes
orr
"Yes, sir" said the drayman, respect
fully. my brain told me that, and I
didn't use it."

q Strauss waltz f1oated out from the
ballroom. There was the pale, silver
light Of the moon. the murmuring of
the waves on the beach-and all that
sort of thing, which you have read
about so many times that you have
learned to skip it in the novels.
Well, Elsie was going away-too,
too soon. They had talked In signs and
murmurs for half an hour; Arthur's
left hand clasped Elsle's dimpled right
one, his right arm was about her waist !;
both hearts beat vigorously, as hearts
will on such occasions, and Arthur had
just opened his mouth to tell Elsie what
she had been expecting for two weeks
when there was a srep close Mt hand
a rustic Of skirts, and the cooling voice
Of the maternal Ferris said
Il beg your pardon, but will you
please excuse Arthur a few moments Z?
There are those miserable business af-
fairs that must be attended to In time
for the post"
And thus he was saved second
time, for Elsie had not penny and
neither had heat least, not many Of
them. There were several other occa-
sions when his own long head, or his
mammals, had helped him out-for
Arthur was somewhat susceptible. But
1t Is not of these have to tell.
His time had come. The in-every way
desirable young person had presented
herself. True, she was not so young
as she had been; but then that was a
mere trhe. She was just his own age,
of as good family as his own and an
helress Of considerable degree. She was
not-well, not exactly handsome, and
was rather inclined to what Is politely
called plumpness; but Arthur's mamma
and Arthurs long head gave their ap-
proval-and Arthur did not care who
she might be so long as she possessed
the above qualifications, particularly
the one Involving a very neat fortune
In her own right.
Besides, Arthur was getting bit des-
perate. In fact. he had so far exceeded
his own salary and the maternal allow
ance (Which, by the way, was as large
as Mrs. Ferris could afford), that moth
ing short of miracle or a matrimonial
alliance such as he had been so long
seeking could save him from getting
into very deep water.
And thus 1t came to pass that this
winter found him engaged to Miss Ber-
nice Field, much to the satisfaction of
his mother, who was visiting in London,
and to whom he had, like the dutiful
son he was, sent the gratifying news at
once.
He was disappointed. however, on one
