FARMERS NOT TO FIGHT AGAINST UNIONS

1--WE have enough to do to mind our
own business, We can't afford to bucl
the trades unions" was the sentiment
expressed this afternoon at the meetins
of the farmers union in the CONNER
cial club rooms.
Certain contractors of this city have
applied to the farmers union to help
them in a fight against the trades
unions of this city. Their grievance
is that in bidding for contracts some
contractor may secure the bid at low
figure. but on account of the unions the
builder is forced 70 cancel the con-
tract for fear of a boycott.
Cox & Barnett wished to erect a

ne lowest price on account of fear of
boycott.
Ihe Be'z Brewery company also had
n experience along this line and il
vas finally decided to invite the
armers to assist them in a fight
igainst the unions.
AL the meeting of the farmers this
a1'ernoon 1t was decided to turn down
the proposition of the contractors. The
object of the farmers union is not, it
was decided, to lower the prices of
other products. and abovs all not to
lower the price of labor Their object
Is to control the price of their own
output. Just as the cotton growers of

A PRACTICAL SERMON.
TO come

That was a fine sermon preach
ed in the A. r. z. church here
last Sunday morning by the Rev.
Oliver Johnson, of Leslie; no
academic attempt at oratoricai
display, no studied nor conven
tiOnal phrases, no presentation of
threadbare topics, no previously
arranged rounded periods, but a
plain, practical, singularly logi-
cal discourse, replete with orisi-
nality and delivered with impress
sive, convincing power. 1T was
a sermon especially calculated to
appeal TO the mind of laymaD.
Mr.. johnson stated at the out
set that he would talk about
& ONE cold ways,n his thoughts
being suggested by the 10th
verse of the 9th chapter of Jere-
miah
Thus saith the Lord, Stand
We in the ways, and see, and ak
for The old paths, where is the
good way, and walk therein, and
We shall find rest for your souls.
But they SAID, We will not walk
therein"
An old thing is not to be ac-
cepted or rejected because it is
old neither should something
new be accepted or rejected be-
cause it is new, said the minister.
Its truth, its real value or utility
should be the test. Reference
was made TO the great changes
that are constantly going on, and
10 the many advantages and con-
veniences now enjoyed which
were unknown to the past gen.
The people of today
do not visit The national capital
in he old time stage coaches,
nor cross the ocean in sailing
vessels as did their fathers and
forefathers. The cablegram, the
telegram, the telephone, the
Pullman cars and the other
modern evidences of the ingenu-
ity and skill OF man were I'm
known to our ancestors. But
in all the worlds progress, the
changes and inventions that are
being made, there are two things
that remain unchanged, God and
human nature.
Taking up the Bible as one of
the things which some may be
to ignore or neglect be-
cause it is old, Mr.. Johnson made
an earnest, fervent plea for its
more general use and study, be
ing as it is the bulwark of our
alton. He said .he was
afraid that the Holy Word was
not being read as much now as it
was by our fathers. He attributed
the apparent decadence in Bible

A DOG SAVED HIM.


Aroused Genial Instinct and Kept
Riis from Suicide.
Jacob Rlis, Rooseyelt's ideal citizen,
was born in Denmark. His father In
tended him for a schoolmaster. but
the son disappointed the father by
turning carpenter. In the broad years
that have interviewed, however, the
fathers judgment has been shown to
be correct. Is Riis Is anything. he is
a teacher; and his school is the
School of Life. In the early days of
poverty, In New York, he tried many
ways to make livelihood. At one
time, when on the verge Of despair, he
wandered down by the river to take
a plunge and end all; but at that mo-
ment, when he thought himself alone
in the world, a homeless cur dog came
up, wagged Its tall and made friends
and Riis took heart.
After he became a reporter he In
dustriously set himself about to let a
little sunshine In. He was without
money, but that was the smallest part.
He interested men and women with
the necessary means. In the last If
teen years many millions Of dollars
have been poured into the East Side,
through the influence of Jacob A. Bills !;
and the work has gone on and on till
new day has dawned where all was
squalor. Old Mulberry has become but

THEIR STRANGE GUEST.

John was only SIX, but he knew
what wolves were. He loved to hear
stories read about wolves Of the for
est, and other stories about Mr.. Wolf
and Mrs. Wolf, and he liked the funny
picture of MT. Wolf in coat and
hat.
When one morning he heard his
father say that Mr.. Wolf was coming
to dinner, John went away by him
self and sat down to think it all over.
1t seemed strange that one of these
people, right out of story book,
was coming to see papa and mamma.
He began to grow afraid. 1t seemed
as If he could not meet this dreadful
Mr.. Wolf.
When it was time for dinner and
the guest had arrived, Johnnie was
nowhere to be seen. A thorough search
was begun and the child was found
hiding in the closet.
"Come out, John!' said his father.

Mastodon's Tooth.

Laborers have been engaged for
several days in excavating on the farm
OF William F. Fish, in scarsdale, near
White Plains, for the skeleton of a
mastodon, which is thought to be
buried there. A tooth has been un-
earthed on the farm. Mr.. Fish was
engaged in supervising the laying out
OF a ditch on his estate when the fos-
silized bone of a strange animal was
uncovered. At first 1t was thought to
be the hoof of a large horse, but later
1t was decided that it was the tooth
Of mastodon.
The tooth measures six inches in
diameter. and it is almost five inches
wide. It was in a good state Of pres.
ervation. It was found about three
feet below the surface of the ground,
and the laborers. after digging down
some distance, found part Of a NAM
moth tusk and piece of large bones,
which crumbled to pieces soon after
being exposed to the air. Mr.. Fish
communicated with the Museum Of
Natural History in New York, and the
curator was much interested in the
discovery.-New York Times.
