What like about this place is that
don't notice here that unpleasant
and peculiar smell which have al
ways found heretofore in prisons,
almshouses, reformatories and such

"The institution smell is what you
allude to-" said the resident surgeon,
with a gratified smile.
What causes it?" asked the re-
porter.

and nauseating smell, as alike in the
most distant institutions as two bot

caused by dirt and the conductors of

COMPLETE TRIUMPH or DAISY.
Dread Alternative Compelled the Sur
render Of Parents.

When Daisy was Is, she called her
father and mother into her dressing
room.
Dear papa and mamma" she said,
1T Is time that we came to an under
standing. Hereafter desire to select
all Of my own clothes without any
suggestions"
Naturally papa laughed at this.
Mamma was discreetly silent
And" continued Daisy, IT will re-
ceive my callers alone"
Il hope" said papa, now growing
sober, that this is all, Daisy dear.
You know we have been very fond Of
you Indeed, may say that / am
worn out over the struggle to keep you
going"
TOO bad about you, papa" said
Daisy. "But, no. It's not all. I must
go to the matinee at least once week.
Then / shall, Of course, go next term
to finishing school. / will let you
know the name as soon as I decide
After this you must take me to Europe
These are the essentials. There is also
the matter of my coming out, but that
can be arranged later merely wish
now to give you due notice that must
no longer be hampered.
Suppose" said Daisy's father, that
we refuse to consider your modest re-
quest. What then?"
Daisy smiled. She was fully aware
of her power.
Then" she repeated, Il shall take
pleasure in telling everybody what
goes on at home every day."
Realizing that they were up against
it, both parents joyfully gave in.--

FROM a MEMBER or THE UNION
Dear Brother:

Dear Brother:
ask your for information on the
following questions: In local union,
who has power to silence the presi-
dent or throw him out of office, and
how should it be done? Whose duty
is it to call meeting? Can local
change it's time of meeting at a called
meeting? Answer soon.
Answer: To silence the president,
try club. The other matters / have
referred to President Hightower, but
/ recommend a study Of the constitu-
ton and Robertson's Manual. And
now, dear brother, as one who loves
this union and is fighting for its well
fare with all my soul and strength, |
warn you, that while we are strong
enough to fight the outside world, dis
sension among ourselves will surely
disband us and break up our organiza-
ton. Each local union has full and
entire control of its own business as
long as it conforms to the constitution
and bylaws. No county, state or ma
tional union nor officer has any right
to dictate to you who you will re-
ceive as a member if the candidate is
eligible nor can they force you to
turn out a member without charges
being preferred and fair trial ac-
corded. Read section four and ask
yourself if brotherly love dictated
your letter or has your president diff
fered with you on some point that
was nothing after all. Dissension
breeds ruin, brother and dread it as
the one and only dangerous enemy we
must guard against. am i'll and
dangerously SO and it may be that my
work is over. This may be last mes
sage that I send to my brethren and
if so, please remember that plead
for peace and harmony and brotherly
love among ourselves.

Time after time has the business

Now here is a sample letter that has
caused him to backslide and invent a
lot of new cuss words
Dear Editor: Please send the Ad-

cate at some other postoffice, kindly

Japanese Wedding RInu.

Mrs. Post Wheeler has what perhaps
no other woman in the United States
has-a Japanese wedding ring. For
Halle Erminie Rives, as she is known
to the literary world, was married In
Japan to Post Wheeler, secretary Of
the American legation. Although the
Episcopal ceremony was used she
chose the Japanese marriage symbol
in preference to that Of her own coun,
try. It is little wider than the or
dinary band and is beautifully carved
In oriental design. Between the chased

ANOTHER WAREHOUSE.

We are now delighted to chronicle
that the Farmers Union Warehouse

the construction of an up-to-date ware

cotton to market.
