the Kansas City Times:

From the Kansas City Times:
I became acquainted with the Flat
boat Man through the prosaic process
of hiring "skiff" from him. He lived
in nondescript sort of dwelling, built
on the lines of a magnified rowboat
with a tent atop. 1t was divided by
middle curtain of calico into two
rooms, about nine by twelve feet. The
aft room held bedstead for the
F'latboat Man and his wife, trundle
bed for the two kids" and wardrobe
built of dry goods boxes, ample space
for the scanty clothing of the four.
The "forrard' room, reached by way of
plank laid from the bank to the for
ward deck, was the kitchen and din
ing room; stove, whose stovepipe
pierced the tent wall and reached sky
ward, a table, cupboard for dishes
and food and four dry goods box chairs,
which were incidentally used as store
closets, completed the furniture.
The Flatboat Man was interesting
His vocabulary showed some education
his accent and pronunciation were il
literate, but belonged to no section of
the country-or to all sections.
Our negotiations about the rowboat
were repeated at intervals during the
summer, and We, became fairly well &C
quainted. The Flatboat Man had seen
a good deal Of the world in his time,
as sailor, as prospector, as stowaway,
or as plain tramp, and he was fond of
talking; SO I passed many profitable
half hour in his society, listening to
his stories or his philosophiztng.
What He Said.
Queer I live this sort O. life, eh?"
he said We'll, I don't know. Where's
your advantage over me? What you
got amt got, an cheaper too? Clo'es?
Mine didn'a cost me nothin'-they're
mostly gifts from adnirin' frens," and
he contemplated his old felt hat, with
the rents in the crown sewed in a rude
seam, lovingly.
Fire Mines drifwood picked up
along the bank-splendid to burn, an
purty!-say it makes the most colors
or lire goin' and smells sweetest Food?
Fish Is plenty, an wen 1 tie up for the
summer l plant few potatoes on the
bank alongside the river 1 happen to

maybe you do know lot more about
the inside O. books an picters an all,
but I kin tell FOOLS gold from the real
stuff, an every ore on sight, an about
how much it'll run to the ton; an I
know about every bird an wild thing

WHAT SHORTER WORK
DAY DOES FOR LABOR
If Trade Unions Were DESTROYED
Long Hours and Low Wages
Would Prevail,
BY Arthur M. Watson.

A practical answer to our question
would be the elimination of the trade
union for a short time, or in other
words to allow the employing classes
and corporations to go their own sweet
Way-long hours, short wages, harsh
rules and child labor.
It would not take many months or
years under such conditions before the
people who work would again organize
and possibly on more progressive lines
than at present
To accurately describe what organ
lied labor has brought about in the
last two generations Is not an easy
task.
First, we find many associations.
each working in its own particular
sphere and improving the conditions
Of life for its membership and for the
community; we find also in populous
centers, declarations Of these unions
accomplishing larger work and
branching out to the political field bv
pressure on unwilling legislators, fore
ing employers liability laws, child la
Dor laws, shorter hours for women.
better sanitation, protection in trans
portation for both passenger and en-
ployee and In many states an eight
hour law In all public employment.
True, organized labor has been as
sisted in these reforms by sympathe-
tic; thinking, right-minded people, not
connected with. the unions, but the
mainstay Of these forward movements
has been the trade union.
AS an educational force among the
workers, the association of the trade
union is largely the only medium
through which fraternity is expressed,
and the influence OF the union in this

METHODIST CHURCH MAN
WOULDN'T BREAK STRIKE
New York State Preacher Learns
Of Condition of Strike
and Quits.
Was Brought From Up State to
Work for Methodist Book
Concern in City.

The. life of a minister is far from
being bed of roses and more
especially minister in small
town where the family is large and
the salary small and slow in COM
ing. 1t is but natural therefore,
that minister, who is made of clay
and gases, just like all of the rest
of US, should sometimes fall, know
ingly or otherwise, into temptation,
and more especially if it has a sill
yer or golden lining. But there was
one minister WHO rectified his mis-
take before it was too late, and the
story, told by the Seattle Union
Record" is we'll worth repeating
here.
Few printers will ever forget the
minister from a certain small town
far up the state, who was brought
to New York City by the Book Con-
Germ to work in their establishment
but was kept entirely in ignorance
of the condition of affairs there and
the true cause of the trouble after
his discovery that he had unknown
ingly become strike-breaker. The
union men finally got in communi-
cation with him, were given an op-
portunity to meet him and explain
their cause to him and the many
sacrifices they had been making for
years to attain the object.so dear to
their hearts-the eight-hour day. He
heard their story with wonder and
surprise, and then said:
Take me to see the president of
your union. I want to learn if all
this is strictly true They took him
far down town, to the office of
President Mccormick, where he was
given a private Interview at which
all his questions were freely an
swered.
! Finally he arose, extended his
hand to the president, and said:
Il never was more surprised in
my life. I did not believe, from all
l have heard and read, that men,
bers of trade unions act as you act,
or We're actuated by the motives
that seem to-. govern you i am a
Methodist minister, and I love, the
Methodist church, consequently l
supposed was doing my duty II
standing by the Book Concern at
! this time and helping them to get
out their work. But I am also a.
mana working mainland 1 am
not going back to the Methodist
! Book Concern to help break this
! strike, nor will I ever again become
! involved in any controversy where
| worklngmen are trying to better
their condition. My eyes are open
| ed
And then, like the fine manly
man he was, he declined to accept
! the money offered to him to recon-
pense him for the expense he had
been put to in packing up and
bringing all his things from a far
distant point in the state to take a.
place in the Methodist Book Con-
Germ, declaring that, while a hand
some sum out of picket in actual
expenditures, under no circum-
stances could be take money from
fund that har been raised for the
! support of the wives and children
and other members Of families of
the workers on strike, adding that
he hoped and believed they would
win, and they had his best wishes
for their success.
Two days later he left New York
for the country home whence he
