the way Mitchell has held it.
Lewis has been spoken of as a fierce
radical and some surprise has been
expressed that a radical could be eject
ed to such an important position by
men who have had the services for
years of so conservative a leader as
John Mitchell.
As matter of fact Thomas Lewis
is not a radical in the usually accept
ed sense of the word He is perhaps
quicker to decide than the much-lOved
Mitchell whom he has, ON numerous
occasions, opposed, and his manner of
handling the various questions which
confront labor leaders Is perhaps
somewhat less cOnciliatOry toward OPP
pCnents; he also is very strong willed.
but his reputation as fighter is due
more to his work for what he thought
right within the organization. than for
any disregard of the prOprieties IN
his relations with employers.
Lewis lives at Bridgeport. Ohio. and
has been vice-presidant of the mine
workers since the election of John
Mitchell to the presidency He there

he has been called to. In a speech
made to the recent convention Of mi
ners at Indianapolis. after the teIlers
had announced his victory over Viii

that may exist. | desire to say to the

heat, was told about the affair about
half an hour later, and suspicioning

ume OF travel always increased in pro-
norton.
There will be special fnducements
in the way of rates made for the dem
ocratic convention, OF course. Special
trains have been engaged long ago
from all the large cities of the coun
try and from all indications it appears
that the crowd at the convention will
be larger than any convention that
has been held in recent years.
Colorado has on an average of 200,
600 tourists every year. During thI
past several years the favorable rail
way rates toward Colorado have been
taken advantage of by large number
OF national conventions. Large frater
nal gatherings have been held in
Denver for the past several years,
many of them bringing as many as
100000 visitors there

A Poem Of the Moment.

n room OF inc WOWSUts
One day an acquaintance Of Eugene
Fields boyhood. a tall, gangling look
ing Missourian, came into the authors
newspaper office and made himself
known. After cordial greetings and a
few moments Of conversation Mr..
Field clapped his hand to his brow, as
sumed a wild expression and, speaking
sharply to his roommate as If he were
an amanuensis, said, "Take this poem
down."
The amanuensis cleared the deck of
his desk for action, and Mr.. Field be-
gan to dictate a poem. 1t was a beau
tiful little lyric upon which he had de-
voted weeks Of painstaking work, but
he reeled it off as if it had just pop
ped into his mind and, to increase the
wonderment in the mind of his guest,
turned two or three times in the
course Of the dictation and chatted
with him about their boyhood frolics,
The eyes of the Missourian stood out
in Amusement as at the close Of the
dictation the amanuensis read the
charmingly finished poem, and Mr..
Field, in Il tone Of command, said:
"Send il up to the printer. Have it
put in tomorrow mornings paper"
The next morning the Missourian,
proud Of his acquaintance with so won
derful a man as Mr.. Field had shown
himself to be, read the poem and set
out to tell everybody who would listen
how an inspired genius writes poetry.

all to be ashamed Of yourselves. You
great big boys have been coming to
Sunday school for months and months,
and here is little Johnny Fizzletop,
poor little fellow, he never has had
any advantages and has only been
coming to Sunday school for the past
two weeks, and yet he knows more
about the Bible than all the rest Of
you. I become perfectly discouraged
when l think Of 1t. l come here every
Sunday and toll for you, and yet you
can't answer so simple a question as
what is the name of the meekest man
in the Bible. Just look at little John

you hang your heads. You're a good

proud of you. Now speak up good and
