.LABOR'S LITTLE ANGEL"
IS WR0NCED BY PAPERS
In Proctor Speech She Did
Not Advise Labor to Get
Drunk Occasionally. =.
Mother Jones Says Newspar
pers in Duluth Grossly Mis-
represented Her.

Mother Jones spoke at Proctor
Tuesday evening to packed house
consisting Of railroad employees. Her
speech was along the lines Of the one
delivered at the armory Sunday even
ing. She spoke to the men as railroad
employees; discussed their long hours
of labor on the road, and referred to
the fact that many Of them reached
home tired and almost exhausted.
This brought up the subject Of tenn:
perance, and she discussed the work
of temperance societies.; how they
only worked on the effect, and COM
pletely neglected the cause of intem-
perance. Mother Jones held like
Francis Willard. the great apostle Of
temperance, that overwork did much
not blame exhausted being for taking
drink under such circumstances.
This puts a different construction to
her speech as quoted in the daily pa
pers. At the armory she was wrong
fully accused by the News Tribune
of using profane language. In refer
ring to the treatment by the daily pa
pers of Mother Jones, she said:
Il have travelled from one end of
this country to the other; have been
In many a contest on the side of the
workingman, where the newspapers
were viciously opposed to labor, and
where my utterances have been Sc
verely criticised, but never in my ex-
perience have I been so grossly mis-
represented as / have been by some
of the Duluth newspapers. when
they say that I use profane language,
you know Comrade, that it Is not true.
When they say that advise men to
get drunk, it is the height of their
blasphemy."
And We do know Mother" Jones.
Her every heart beat is for the cause
Of humanity. She may have terse
ways Of putting facts on the platform,
but her life is as pure and sweet as
tho blooming lily in the valley. She
Is tho little angel Of thu working
class, and women Of her character do
not give bad ADVICE" T..

She Was Arrested For Violating
an Injunction Issue by Fed
eral Judge.
Declared That Judge Jackson Of
West Virginia; Scabbed on
His Father.

Mother" Jones was a constant WIS.,
itor at the Labor World Office during
her stay in Duluth, and we learned
to know the good Mother. better
than ever. She is full of interesting
anecdotes, which If put into print,
would make capital reading for all
people interested in the labor strug-
giles of the times.
1t. will be remembered that Mother
Jones, was arrested in West virginia,
by order Of Judge Jackson of the fed
eral court for violating an Injunction
issued by him during the miners
strike, in which he attempted to re-
strain Mother Jones and her associ-
ates from feeding the striking miners
The good little friend Of the miners
very naturally violated. the 1niuuitous
order. and was very promptly notified
Of her arrest by the UNITED States
marshal. The warrant was served
while she was delivering an address.
After reading the document she re-
torted in her characteristic manner:
go and tell your Judge that he is the
worst scab I know OF. He scabbed on
his father"
During the trial one of the mine
owners attorneys asked the good wo-
man If she had not said that Judge
Jackson was scab. Before Mother
Jones could reply the aged iurist
turned in his chair, and facing the
prisoner asked with firmness what she
meant by such a charge.
Mother Jones, not to be out
done, proved equal to the occasion.
We'll YOU see judge" she began; ut
was the first thought that came to me
when the warrant was served. and I
had to let 1t out. It didn't occur to
me in 40 years. But away back In
the sixties read in one Of the Phil
adelphia papers that President Lincoln
had appointed a lawyer by the name
of Jackson on the federal bench for
West Virginia. I also remember the
stir about the appointment, for the pa
pers declared THAI the initials of YOUR
self and your father were the same,

The Sympathetic Nervous Svsten,.

The nerves OF this system traverse
the cavity Of the chest from thorax
to abdomen. The system In its en-
ttrety, consists Of a chain Of gang1ia
connected by longitudinal nerve fla.
spinal column and running from
above downward. r.
A ganglion is a collection of vesicu-
lar nervous matter-bundles Of non
medullated nerve f1bers-embedded in
capsule of connective tissue. The
Eanglia are reinforced by motor and
sensory nerves from the cerebro- spinal
system.
They are divided into groups, and
Psychologists have given name to
each group, based upon the particular
location in the body in which the
group is found. Thus we have cranial,
four In number; cervical, three; thor
ale, II; lumbar, five; sacral. five, and
cocygeaI, one.
These groups are again subdivided.
and their various branches designated
according to their properties and
functions. They go to the heart,
lungs, liver. stomach and other organs
Of the abdominal viscera.
Over these nerves Is transmitted the
wonderful force known as nervous
energy, which gives health. life, ac-
| tivity and usefulness, to all the bodily
functions. We do not know the ma
ture of this force, any more than we
| know the nature, of electricity. We
| only know its effects. It's Interrupt
! ton or arrangement Is inharmony and,

| death.
Health is the normal condition of
the body; i'll health or sickness the
abnormal. To make myself plain:
the preponderating tendency of nature
is to keep and maintain every organ
and functional activity Of the body in
a state Of health and harmony; and
| to that end, she is necessarily at work
replenshing and repairing the waste

also stated that your father was out

that the appointment was intended
fors your father. That is what I meant
when said, you had scabbed on
your father"
This reply caused a general laugh
in the court room in which the vener-
able judge participated most heartily.
When the trial was over and Mother
Jones was acquitted Judge Jackson
sent for her. and in his typical south
ern style greeted the kindly old lady
with, Judge Jackson wishes to pay
his compliments to Mother Jones. and
at the same time desires to. assure her

ITALY'S NEW CEREAL.

Italy has produced a new cereal for
bread-making purposes that Is attract
ing a good deal of popular attention.
A public test was made the other day
at Mesbrtno of baking bread from
flour of the new grain, which is named
Olco Cairo, and has been developed by
a priest of the name of Candeo. The
bread was pronounced to be palatable,
light, and, mixed with one-third Of
wheaton flour, Is declared to make a
sustaining food at very low price. Be-
sides this. the inventor says that its
general use would do away with the
