Gnm mrs. Vim for Taft.

Evidence is plentiful that the effect Of
Gompcrs attempt to influence labor for
Bryan 4, not very productive Of results.
An illustration in point occurred al a
monday meeting in New York Of the
Commercial Travellers Republican AS
ISOLATION. John W. Armstrong, an or
gauizcr for the international Brother
hood Of Electrical Workers, who was
sent to Maine by President Gompers to
make speeches for the Democratic state
ticket, came out for Taft and sherman.
In his speech he said
'.The men whom | have met and con
ycrsed with in the American Federation
" Labor are, rs a rule Of the opinion
that 1t would be unwise to support Mr..
Bryan. The election Of Mr.. Taft means
the resumption OF business upon safe
and sound lines. | have an abiding
faith in the intelligence and loyalty OF
the workingmen to vote for Taft and
the party and principles that made 1t
possible for our workingman to occupy
the eminent position he does, as com
pared with the position occupied by the
unfortunate brother in the Democratic
South, where the Democratic party has
opposed the enactment OF factory laws,
child labor laws and the Organization
OF workingnen.'
Vice President Philip Davis and Sec
rotary s. +. Ingram of the Central La
Dor Union of Terre Ilaute, Ind, issued
statement repudiating the announce
ment that samuel GOmpers is to speak
in Terre IIaute under the auspices OF
the central body Of organized labor.
Vice President Davis said Members
OF the Central Union are divided on
party lines. and FOR this reason II Is
not lust that the union should invite
Mr.. Gompcrs to make a Democratic
speech Let him come at the Instance
of the Democratic central committee.

MINISTER A TRI'LE MIXED UP.
Consequently Th.re Was an Awkward
Perhaps in Funeral Grafton.

II was at the funeral of a man who
had left his young and attractive help
meet a widow for the third time At
the time of his death their clergyman
was away on European trip, and in
this emergency the Rev. DR.. Blank
was called upon.
neighbor instructed him hastily
as to the admirable qualities of the
deceased, his benevolence, piety and
kind disposition and gave him yari-
GUS points as to his family relations.
During the funeral discourse no out
s'der would have suspected that the
Clergyman had not been a lifelong
friend Of the dead man. When, how
ever, he came TO mention the widow
IN his prayer, 1t was evident that his
data in regard to her had become a
trihe confused. He said:
And now we commend to thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again.
Then hesitating an instant, he added:
And perhaps again"

Aus.raIia's Wild Oysters.

Oysters are sometimes regarded as
dangerous but they are not usually
considered savage. a Queensland
Judge, however, has decided that they
are wild beasts. Before a royal COM
mission on the pearling industry,
which has been sitting at Brisbane, q
witness stated that eight years ago he
had laid 100000 shells in the neigh
borhood of Friday island. The Jap
anese stole the shells, and the district
court Judge held that as pearl shell
oysters were wild animals there was
40 penalty for stealing them.
