Federation Of Labor has sent out cir
cular giving list of sixty-four union
labels and cards that are now in exist
ence to designate union products and
fair conditions. a chart containing fac
SMILES Of the labels win also be issued
In the near future. While the organ
lied working people and many sympa-
tbizers are partial 10 union made

ing that confusion results where too
many labels are on the market For q
number OF years the belief has been
gaining ground that universal label
should be adopted TO take the place Of
many that are not generally known.
Something along this line will have to
be done soon as matter of economy

BAILEY SHOCKS TRUST MEN.
Senator Threatens Standard Oil Men

| New York, June 26. a conversation

tor Bailey Of Texas participated few
keyemings ago, has created d great deal
of comment among the persons involved.
Mr.. Bailey, who was making flying
trip to New York, was seated at table
at the Waldorf Astoria with some
1 friends, when several persons prominent

of them we're officials of the Standard

Bailey's table We're acquainted with

who gradually became stronger in their
Expressions. They complained bitterly at

sharply attacked the Railway Rate bill
and the Senate amendments. Presently
I Mr. Bailey struck into the conversation
in an emphatic and menaeing tone.

lporations, said lie, must obey the law.
III you had obeyed IL in the first place

them boldly in the face he defied Them
to swear that he was the man. They
knew he was, and yet they wavered
and hesitnted and made points in his
favor. Even the detectives who had
played cards with him on the train
while thinking they were pursuing him
Were not strong In their recognition.
The fact that Williams would mot
identify himself was against him. The
fact that he had returned to the same
city and the same hotel was In his IA
vor. His lawyer was feeling certain
that the jury would at least disagree
when Williams spoiled his case by
making certain admissions. He had
made up his mind to experiment lit

q fool by bis lawyer. but he persisted,
was found guilty and sentenced to two
years IN prison.

was called for at once. He wanted
extra fare, and 1t was SO arranged that

than had been assigned him, and he
found 1t an easy thing to do. He did
not want to go to work until he had
looked around a bit, and there was no

A Man Of Experience

copyright. 1906 by c. J. Hirt1
Charles Black was thirty, unmarried,
fairly wealthy and Of good family. He
had a keen desire to experience the
sensation Of being wrecked in mid
ocean, to be on the tenth floor of a
Babel and out or BIZ fire, to be fleeing
from the waters Of bursted reser-
Soir.
One day he left his rooms, grip In
hand, and next day turned up In city
800 miles away. On the night Of his
arrival he took walk among the resi-
dental streets and finally selected a
house to operate on. He wanted the
sensation Of burglary.
On we'll lighted street, vigilantly
patrolled by the police and with part
Of the family still up, he climbed up
the column OF porch and entered a
window. Ii SO doing he scratched his
hand on nail and left blood stains
here and there He packed up consid-
cradle spoil and could have safely TAX
en- 1t away He did not choose to,
however He entered another cham
Der and deliberately awoke young
man who was sleeping An cutlery
was raised. and during the midst of it
he made his exit. Three blocks away
be stopped to chin with policeman.
Next morning Black had disappeared
from his hotel. He told one Of the
porters before going that he feared ar
rest. He left a broad trail, but 1t was
three days before the detectives struck
\ ST. He led them chase of 900 miles.
They had his description, and vet he
doubled back on his trail and rode
with them part of the time. He
was experimenting as to the acumen
Of the average detective. They finally
gave up the chase, and he returned to
the city whore II had begun The clerk
looked bit astonished. but said moth
ing. The porter winked at him. but
did not give Elm away.
To get himself arrested he had to
write an anonymous letter to the po-
lice and to the owner of the house he
had Invaded He wanted the sensa-
tion of an arrest and trial.
The young man who had been arous-
ed swore to Blacks identity, as did
also the policeman with whom he had
conversed. The hotel porter also came
forward, as did others. He had given
the name Of williams. The police fail
ed to trace him back. Not one single
thing could they fnd out about his
past.
Williams sent for a leading lawyer
to take his case. He had little ex-
pertinent to work there. He told the
lawyer that he was guilty and deserved
all punishment that would be meted
out to him, but the lawyer did not
hesitate q moment about taking the
case and preparing for strong de
Tense to set the burglar at liberty on
society again,
When the trial came on 1t was Will

The HOG SUPPLY.
Light Hogs Scarce In Summer. when
Most wanted.

1At'h ftahstu.
The supply Of the different kinds of
hogs on a market changes with the sca-
son. aIost pigs are farrowed IN the
spring. BY the time winter sets in
many OF them are ready 10 go to mar
ket in n finished condition, and many
more are sent in an unfinished con9i-
ton for various reasons, such as lack
of feed, lack Of room, lack of thrift
ness and the need Of money TO meet
pressing obligations. The result is that
light hogs and pigs are forced upon
the market in undue proportion during
the fall and winter How is it with
the heavy hog? Pigs that were far
rowed in the spring have not as yet
had time TO develop into heavy hogs,
and fall pigs OF the previous year
which have not already been sold are
not numerous enough to I'LL this gap.
This causes scarcity OF heavy hogs
In the late fall and early winter.
In summer the conditions are re-
versed, giving more heavy hogs and
fewer light hogs. The hog that Is sent
10 market in the summer usually is one
hat was farrowed in the spring or the
tall Of the preceding year and has de
veloped into a heavy hog. Light hogs
are scarce at this time because most of
the pigs are narrowed in the spring.
These factors usually work together TO
make narrow range In prices be-
tween heavy and light hogs during the
summer months and a wider range
during the winter months.
This variation in the supply OF hogs
from the normal demand also has a
tendency to lower prices II the hogs
on the market Of certain class are
not SUFFICIENT to supply the demand for
that class Of hogs this demand must
necessarily be filed by hogs Of another
class. These viii not command the
price that they would If they were sold
withlu their own class. provided the
different classes sell on the same level.
nor will they bring as much as the
hogs whose places they are to take
would sell for.-W. Dietrich. Illinois.
