not yet secured tickets may do so by
calling on T. w. Evans at Wohlen-

may be exchanged at the box Office for
reserved seats on and after the Thurs

ne central LABOR Union got away
with a goodly lot of business at the
meeting Tuesday night, and managed
to do it in a reasonable length of time
The special committee having in
charge the theatrical benefit made re-
port and the tickets for the benefit at
the Oliver, given by the Fulton Stock
company and Manager Zehrung, were
distributed. The benefit will be given
Oh Monday evening, July %, and the
play will be 'Lynnwood,' a pretty
southern drama that will please every
body. The benefit committee has an
other one in view, but just at present
the plan is not in shape to be made
public. 1t contemplates Labor Day
engagement that will provide lot of
pleasure to the toilers and at the same
time bring in a goodly sum to be used
in the furtherance of unionism.
Secretary Bush admitted that he had
not been able to see and notify many
unions of the necessity of selecting
representatives on the Labor Temple
advisory committee, but said he would
get to it right away. The following
representatives were reported:
J. w. Dickson, Carpenters.
Fred Ihringer, Printers.
T. w. Evans, Cigarmakers.
Guy Warner, Plumbers.
The matter of starting something
for Labor Day was taken up, and the
central body decided to invite all
unions to select members of a general
| committee, and suggested that the
cnes selected meet with the Central
Labor Union on Tuesday evening, July
%, and get the thing started off right.

The attendance Tuesday night was
little larger than usual, but it lacked
lot of being what it should be. The
BARRIERS have not been represented for
some time. The Lathers, Plasterers,
Hodcarriers and Building Laborers
and several other organizations have
not been represented at ALL The
Transfers Union seems to have gone
by the board altogether. The Theatri-
cal Stage Employees have not yet re-
ceived their charter, but when they
do they will send delegates without

up, and it was generally agreed that
the records of the central body

and brought to date and kept there.

English is a most remarkable Ian
guage. It has some peculiarities Of an
extraordinarily rich vocabulary and
others Of the poorest and most barren
tongue, separate words for minute dis
tinctlons and single words that have
many meanings. Many examples Of
both pecullarities can be found in the
Dialect Dictionary, an English publi-
cation. Every farmers boy knows how
to use the words lamb, sheep, eve and
ram, but how many Of them would be
able to define the words tag, tup-hog,
teaser, tup-seg, tup-yeld and six tooth,
each Of which fixes the age or the sex
Of sheep? For example, q tup-hog Is
a young ram before the first shearing.
On the other hand, take the word
rack. As used by people in one part
of England or another It may mean a
neck OF mutton, the bones Of dead
horse, blow, a sharp pain, kitchen
fireplace, part of a hand loom, reach
In a river, ford pathway a rut, q
gap in hedge, flying cloud, to pour of
liquor, to stack. These are the unusual
meanings, and there are others more
common. Youths Companion
