SEEING AMERICA.
Unusual Number of Travellers Are En-
 toying Far Western Scenes.

toying Far Western scenes.
 Some time ago we heard a good deal of western organization whose object was illustrated by It's motto: "see America first" It was formed to ad- vertise the beauties and advantages of Western travel, and thus to induce the thousands that think Europe is the only place to go travelling to turn their attention to the scenery and inter- esting incident of the vast west
 The members of that organization must have accomplished something, for the reports of the trunk line railroad for this season say that travellers are touring westward in unprecedented numbers and that all of the western resorts report throngs of visitors. It does not appear that this travel is al the expense of the ocean steamers, either, for they have been about as comfortably crowded as usual.
 Duluth has noticed the difference, for there has never been a year when the hotels have been so crowded with tourists. The lake passenger vessels have been doing a large business, and the various resorts of the Lake Super Tor country have had an unusually large influx of guests.
 Whether they see America first, or see it last those who are able to in- dulge themselves in the happy luxury of travel should see it. Europe is we'll enough, and no doubt it should ba vis- tied by everybody who is able tu af- ford it. But no citizen of this country can have full appreciation of what

want to slave all your life fattening
the purses of your employers without
getting any adequate return for it, all
right And you bet the merchants will
not complain. If you want to play
the gentleman on thirteen per and look
down on the iceman who makes his
eighteen per, with one-third less work,
all right. guess the ice man can stand

you can not see the benefits of organi-
cation after your Investigations of an
hour or two, just keep on working in
an open shop and letting the pur-
chaser of your labor dictate the price
you must take for it, and also dictar-
ing the price you must pay for what
he has to SELL"
I think my friend profted by his ex-
perience and by my talk. Now If or
ganized workingmen would take their
unionism into politics and demand a
square deal there the same as they
do with their employers, how much

Later l hope to be able to have a little
say en- this political question.

LEATHERWoRkERs' BALL.
Will Celebrate Their Fourth Annvers-
ary in Betting Style.

On Thursday evening, January II,
the local Unon Leatherworkers on
Horsegoods will celebrate the fourth
anniversary of the union by giving
grand ball at A. O. U. w. hall. The
committee in charge of the ball is
exerting every effort to make it the
best in the history of the organization,
and heretofore the Leatherworkers
have been unusually successful.
Quicks orchestra has been engaged to
furnish the music.
An English medical authority de-
clares that horseback riding is one of
the healthiest of exercises, and women
generally are taking to it. And they
are using the commonsense, cowboy
saddle, too. We all know that the
Englishman is right, but an American
physician steps to the fore and de-
clares that dancing to good music is
even better exercise, especially for wO-
men. The Leatherworkers will dem
onstrate the soundness of the Amer
leans statement if you will attend
their ball on January 18th.

A RUNAWAY SLAVE.
A Pretty Story of Brotherly Love That
You Should Read.

The great workingman-preacher had
been imprisoned. Coming to him one
day was runaway slave. He had
robbed his master, drifted to Rome,
was converted to Christianity through
Pauls influence; and now was About
to be sent back to Philemon Who
owned him. but who also was bae Of
Pauls converts.
In day when slavery was endorsed
by some of the greatest philosophers
of history,-who declared that q pur-
chased slave was better than hired
one,-it is interesting to read Paul's
very tactful letter, which he sent by
the hand of Onesimus. The twentieth
century new Testament tells the story
in modern language, in part. as fol
lows:
Il plead with you for this pild of
mine, Onesimus, to whom, in pris-
on, l have become father. ice he
was of little service to you, b now
he has become of great service, not
only to you, but to me as we'll; and
/ am sending him back to you with
this letter-though it is like tearing
cut my very heart. For my own sake
l should like to keep him with me, SO
that while am in prison for the good
news, he might attend to my wants on
your behalf But l do not wish to do
anything without your consent. be-
