into the briDy deep. Nothing more
was thoaght Of the incident. except
that Dir. Wheeler remarked that some
one some day would catch rock

wonder how it happened.
Imagine Mr.. Wheeler's surprise
when a few days later he was again

scales OF one side. Mr. Wheeler
thought it a strange coincidence that
he should have again caught the same

MAKE HOME A FUN CENTER

Don't be afraid of little fun at
home, says an exchange. Don't shut
your house, lest the sun should fade
your carpets, and your hearts, lest a
hearty laugh shake down some Of the
musty old cobwebs there. If you want
to ruin your sons, let them think that
all mirth and enjoyment must be left
on the threshold when they come home
at night.
When once a house is regarded as
only place to eat, drink and sleep in,
the work is begun that ends in gam
bling houses and reckless degradation.
Young people must have fun and re-
Taxation somewhere. If they do not
find it at their own hearthstones, it
will be sought at other less profitable
places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly at
night, and make the homestead de-
lightful with all those little arts that
parents so perfectly understand. Don't
repress the buopant spirits Of your
children; half an hours merrimeut
round the lamp and f1reside of home
blots out the remembrance Of many
care and annoyance during the day,
and the best safeguard they can take
with them into the world is the in
fluence Of bright little domestic sane

INSINUATION AND INNUENDO

1nsinuation and innuendo, two CO.
ordinate evils, which have existed in
all stages and in all walks Of life, and
in all forms of organization, have done
more to retard the worlds progress to
a higher social and industrial plane and
a better civilization than almost any
other agency employed or in opera
ton, says the Cigarmakers' Journal.
The fellow who insinuates but does not
make an honest charge is not only dis
honest himself, but coward at heart.
with a perverted mind as we'll. He
who always thinks evil of others is
naturally evil inclined by disposition.
The church, political parties, fraternal,
social, and sometimes labor organiza-
lions, are rent asunder by the misera-
BILE pervert who. insinuates a wrong
upon the part Of another.
This leads to discord, bad blood and
finally dissensions and disruption This
kind Of work exists to a greater ex-
tent, and does: more damage in other
associations than.i 1T now does in the
labor movement. swhere it still exists
to a. limited extept, and is practiced
by the moral degenerate. Happily, the
unionists have grown accustomed to
these people, and their influence is
partly destroyed. The average union
man has arrived to the stage where
he says: "Show me-" However, good
men are often driven out of the meet
ings of the unions or remain silent be-
cause they are so constituted by ma
ture that they cannot or will not stand
slanderous abuse. Good officers often
remain in the background for the same
reason, and it is for these that we
speak. The labor movement needs all
the assistance it can get from the best
minds, and, above all, needs honest
men as officers.
The honest man need have no fear
Of and is not afraid of the honest man
who makes an honest, straightforward
charge, but no man is safe from the
contemplate insinuations Of the back
biting character assassin. No honest
man will make charge without he
knows what he is talking about. The
moral pervert is always making insin-
uations, and usually without any foun-
dalton upon which to ground them.

los1s, or consumption, is: what it
means to them and the race; and why
they should give to the now rapidly

support.

in popular way what has been known

a few years, that tuberculosis is d

lures, by photographs Of sanatoria,

grams and charts showing the pre-
avlence Of the disease in the popula-
ton at large and especially in certain
sections and in certain occupations,
by pathological specimens Of infected
lungs and Of other organs Of the body.
The whole subject is presented in such
way as to carry conviction with it
