OFFICE KID sTUMPEp STUDENTS
WIsdom-Seeking German Falls to Con
meet with Queer Lingo.

The commuters on one of the New
Jersey railroads have been much in
terested during the past summer In
the efforts Of young German to in
crease his English vocabulary by
means Of scraps of conversation over
heard on the train and boat. He lis
tens with strained attention to what
those near him are saying, and when
he hears an unfamiliar word or express
sion searches for it rapidly in a lit
tie pocket dictionary he carries, and
evidently cons 1t over to himself I'M
til he has learned 1t.
The other day he stood behind two
youths, evidently office boys, who
were discussing their employer.
You'd better get on the job
warned the older Of the two. "The
chiefs got wise to your loafin' since
the fellers tipped him off,"
"Grouchy, is he?" inquired the
other, indifferently.
yep, he's got crouch all right,
all right, and there'll be noise like
a fire for you If you don't get a move
on"
The leaves Of the dictionary flut-
tered wildly for a moment. Then,
with a gesture of despair, the young
foreigner put the book in his pocket.
He evidently thought English idioms
hopeless.

MARRIAGE and Sacrifice.

Marriage, unless to the rich, neces-
sarily entails many little sacrifices.
The modern bachelor most misses his
little weekend trips to seaside and
golf links when he enters the ranks
of the benedict. Week-ending is an
expensive habit and young couples,
even If they can afford 1t, are much
wiser to settle down quietly in their
early married life and make q real
home. Unless they do this In the be-
ginning home, sweet home will
never be an accomplished fact. 1t
takes two to make a home and there
is no time like the first years Of mar
riage for making real nest home
to last through life.

TERRIBLE MARINE EARTHQUAKE
Cape Horn Phenomenon Kills Thou

A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn
was caught In dead calm, something
almost unprecedented In that stormy
latitude. The sky was filmed with o
light haze and the sea fiat and lead
colored. About ten o'clock on the
morning Of the second day the ship
began to shake violently, the masts
whipped and bent like fishpoles, and
everything movable above and below
came down with a..clatter. It was
like striking rock, only the shock
was less pronounced at flrst but In

seconds 1t lasted. The sea heaved
In oily swells with strange hoarse
murmur, and 1t continued to be agt
tated after the tremors ceased.
Half an hour later fish by the thou
sands began to rise to the surface, un.
til It was covered with them. Forty
seven whales were counted, many
cowfish, fully eight feet across, sharks
without number and seals by the hun
dreds, They were evidently stunned
with the force OF some terrific marine
upheaval, and when struck with a
pole by one of the sailors showed only
faint signs Of life. In 20 minutes
after the first fish arose to the sur
face they began to drop out Of sight
like pisces Of lead. Whether they

Japanese Army Promotions.

In the matter Of efficiency reports
and promotions 1t is noted that in the
Japanese army there is book for
each officer, which he is privileged to
see and in which are recorded remarks
as to his progress and efficiency in
each rank, SO that 1t Is known whether
he is fit for promotion or not as he
rises IN the service; and, consequent
ly, a selection committee does not ex-
list in Japan. In this way any officer
would be aware of his chances Of ris-
ing to high rank, as only those whose
records were good would succeed, the
duffer going out automatically.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Again the swift flying seasons come
to day that to many of us seems
the saddest in the year. We cannot
but recall gallant, CHEEKY figure in a
blue coat, Strengthening from the bur-
dens the years had laid upon his
shoulders, and bravely marching with
step that was meant to be firm but
would falter every once in while.
That was only year ago and today
not only his place in the ranks, but
many others will be vacant So it has
year the company grows smaller and
the ranks close up, and the thin blue
line seems more wavering and waver-
ing until we now can see the day not
far ahead when it will be but a men,
DRY. They have fought their fights
bravely in the past, but they now go
to meet an enemy-or is it friend i?
when no man yet has conquered.
Still the thought should not be one
OF sadness entirely. There is much
that they have taught us, and we Of
the younger generation should express
our appreciation by assuming the
burdens they have laid down and
carrying forward toward completion
the works they have started.
The Grand Army of the Republic
and that equally deserving body the
Confederate Veterans-have shown
their greatness, not so much in the
inspiring deeds of valor shown on the
battlefields and so common on both
sides, as in the lessons they have
taught in the long years of peace
following strife. In the thick of con-
f1ict it's easy to be brave; but it
shows greatness Of spirit for two
earnest men, both Of whom are sure
they were right, to shake hands at
the conclusion Of fight, and forget
their former differences and work to-
gether for a common purpose and a
common destiny.
The truest form of patriotism is IN
selfish devotion to your fellow men.
More and more the world is coming
to realize the truth Of this No one
has had a greater part in bringing
this truth to the notice of the world
than our brave heroes Of the Blue and
the Grey whose mmory we honor to-
day. They have shown that he who
is bravest and greatest in war can be-
first in the arts of peace Their ex-
ample hastns the day when war shall
be no more and all mankind shall be
brotherhood; and while they may be
with US but a little time longer, the
lessons they have taught will i've on.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

On June 9Th the state convention Of
the Minnesota State Federation Of
Labor will be held in the city Of
Winona. 1t will be one of the most
important meetings ever held under
the auspices Of this body. We take
this opportunity to urge upon all the
different unions of this city that thew
be represented with their full quota Of
delegates when the convention is
called to order
There is an especially strong reason
why every Duluth union in particular
should make an extraordinary effort
to have their full representation pre-
sent at this convention. The eyes OF
Minnesota and the eyes Of the whole
country have been turned to Duluth
during the last few months. We
have been in the thick Of struggle,
cruel. heartless and pitiless, that was
forced upon us by a cunning, crafty
enemy. Our enemies have left no
stone unturned that they might &C.
complish their unhallowed designs,
We have seen evidence time and time
again that misrepresentation is the
chief test Of their weapons. There
fore 1t behooves us that we, the Du-
luth unions at this stage Of the fight,
which so far we have conducted, with
credit to ourselves and will soon be in
fair way Of winning, do nothing in
the way Of commission or omission
, that by the interruptions misrepresen-
tations of our enemies may be used to
5jeopardize our ultimate chances Of
victory. 49,
FL To our mind it would be serious
sin of omission to neglect this matter
OF delegates. to the state convention.
It may not be very convenient for
some OF the union delegates to spare
the time required, but for the sake Of
presenting a solid front to the enemy
every delegate elected should make It
his his duty to attend. From all appears
S&anc sc at the present. writing the Do.

luth delegation will be fully as large
and perhaps somewhat larger than IN
any year in the past. but we Shout
not be satisfied at that. !. We should
make the Duluth delegation 90 large
and so enthusiastic that there will be
no possible chance in the world for
the Parryites to further their fatuous
belief that it is all over but the shout
ing. Just let them know that If they

STANLEY r. MuSOLF,

From time to time it has been our
sad duty to chronicle the passing
from this life of many men whom we
still miss from our ranks, and it is
with feelings of sincerest sorrow that
we find we must now add the name
Of Stanley r. Musolf to a list that
would almost seem to us already too
long. 1t was all so sudden and so
tragic that realization is, as ye1,
hardly possible.
Many words are sometimes not an
infallible index Of true SORROW
While Stanley Musolfs life was a
short one, even as we, with our limit
ed span of life, measure time, 1t was
long enough for him to leave his i'm
press of good son, true husband,
kind father, a faithful workman, ana
loyal friend. In him the Federated
Trades Assembly and the Electrical
Workers. union have lost an earness,
faithful member, who was ever zeal
Gus in the cause Of labor. and the ad-
vancement Of mankind. There is
little we can sal that would now be
of any consolation to his sorrowful
wife and family, but we feel that some
tribute of respect Is due the memory
of man whose life was so we'll
spent and in this record will his fam
lily find their greatest consolation.

When the Federal Circuit Court of
Minnesota enjoined the attorney gen
eral Of the state an dali county attor-
neys from any attempt to enforce the
commodity rates established by Min
nesota law pending the decision as to
the validity of that law the attorney
general boldly defed the Injunction.
He went before a state court and OBJ
tanned contrary order. He was
hailed before the United States court,
judged in contempt, and this action
was finally upheld by the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Yet
throughout this contest the attorney
general was not accused of lawless-
ness, but his course was in the main
commended as an effort to uphold
what he believed to be the rights and
prerogatives of the state. Can it be
that the political rights and privileges
which he was seeking to maintain
were more sacred than the personal
rights and liberties which labor be-
lieves to be involved in the boycott
case? 70, -, r..
Organized labor has been hard
pressed by recent decisions Of the SUI
preme Court of the United States. It
Is fearful lest the inhibitions placed
upon it's activities be still further ex-
tended. Under such circumstances
resentment Is not unnatural and critl-
