that the paper would not live three

arbitrated easier, and better har-
mony can be had upon the work of
a big building where all trades and
crafts hold conferences with each
other regarding the work upon the
same.
Organized labor is not radical
and arbitrary and dictatorial in its
dealings with capital and promo
tiers, but is ready at all times to
meet in councils of arbitration to
djuSt differences that might arise
as to the rights and justice of the
claims of each. Too many con-
tractors assume that organized
labor is ready to throw down the
gauntlet for war, but this is not
true. They are always willing to
treat for honorable terms and fair
ness to all.

There he was to share the business

a part of the net proceeds. Torch con.
tracted with a drayman to handle the
baggage to and from the depot. He
paid him in advance, and at the station
was compelled at the point of a revol-
yer to pay 81 more. Later he was held
up in the same way by a man pre-.

that the two men were deputies and

GERMANY TURNS TO SPORT.
All Kinds of Outdoor Exercises Are
Becoming Popular.

Boating and rowing contests Oh
German rivers and lakes are a con.
stantly growing form of amusement,
says a writer in The Circle. Iceboat
racing and travel = becoming more
popular every year; the large rivers
flowing into the Baltic sea offer ex.
ceptionally good facilities for this kind
of sport. Ski travel has been intro
duced only recently, but it has r.
ceived an enthusiastic welcome at the
hands Of the sportsmen who live in
the mountains of Hartz and Thuringia.
Tournaments are held In these moun
tains every winter, at which German
devotees of this sport show great skill
in speed and endurance contests.
While there are not SO many auto
mobiles in all Germany as there are
in New York city and Its vicinity,
there are in that country 20 automo
bile clubs, with a membership of Alps
The popularity Of the bicycle shows
no signs Of ~decadence.
How popular are swimming and
fishing may be judged from the fact
that there are 212 swimming clubs
with a membership Of 26,459, and 80
fishing clubs with a membership OF
LIS. Twelve balloons are owned by
nine aeronautical societies. Among
the sports mentioned especially popu
lar are the following: Hockey, crick,

DESERVED ONLY A NICKEL.
Younaster Evidently Was Aware Of
His Own Shortcomings.

A charity worker of New York said
the other day about Miss Gladys Van
ierbilt:
when this good and charming girl
goes to Hungary, 1 know of certain
hospital wards where she will be

He paused and smiled.

Incident that befell Miss Vanderbilt
last year.
There was a children's hospital
which she visited regularly. taking
fruit and flowers to the little patients,
and in certain ward a boy was point
ed out to her one day as a bad GUS
Toner.
ooh, he is incorrigible.' sighed the
Nurse.
Miss Vanderbilt talked awhile with
the little chap, and when she arose to

"See here, I have heard bad reports
about you. Now, l want you to prom
ise me to be good. II you are good for
4 whole week I'll give you a dollar
when l come again next Thursday

good. This promise, though he did
aot keep. On her next visit Miss Van
ierbilt, going to his cot, said:
az shall not ask the nurses how you
have behaved this last week. 1 want
you to tell me yourself. Now, what
do you think-do you deserve that dol
lar 1 promised you, or not"

with a troubled frown. Then he said
