TELEGRAPHER'S UNION WANTS
WIRELESS TO ORGANIZE

New York-S. j. Konenkamp,
president of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union of America, has issued
an appeal to the wireless telegraph
ers throughout the country in an eff
fort to organize them as a subordi-
nate branch of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union Of America. The ap-
peal says:
"You are the pioneers of the wire
less. You stand today in almost the
same position occupied by the Morse
telegraphers of ante-bellum days with
one exception-that of wages.
lowing to the peculiarities of your
branch of the service, it may be your
idea that a separate organization
would be best. This is impracticable,
but under the revised constitution OF
1908. a good alternative is available,
the organization of a subordinate di-
vision. to which none but wireless
operator is eligible"

essential, and it is we'll before eating
to use an antiseptic wash, applied by
cotton on the end of an orange wood
stick. Those who must handle money
or are in library work, where they
must touch books in all conditions,
should also give extra attention to
their finger nails.
Polishing, tinting, training for half
moons may be beauty measures SIM
ply, but the cleanliness of the nails
is as much a matter of health as it
is of breeding or looks.
Another reason that one should
manicure the nails regularly is that
there are rough places and imperfec-
lions that, if left, will unconsciously
lead to nail biting. This ugly habit
would be much less common If moth
ers would see to it that children's
nails are kept smoothed and filed.
From an esthetic standpoint, mani
curing needs no special pleading. The
hand that is cared for and that is neg
lected speak for themselves when it
comes to looks.-New Haven Reg

Lawyer Knew Case Well.

A well-known attorney of this city
had a client whose case presented
a mass of technicalities, of which
his lawyer took every advantage.
Before the final argument and hand
ing down of opinion, however, the
client was forced to take journey
of some hundreds of miles and was
compelled to be absent for several
weeks. He arranged with his at
torney to flash him by telegraph the
result of the trial, but told him to
so word his telegram that the ad-
dressee alone would comprehend its
import.
The result was the awarding Of
verdict in favor of the litigant in
question, and his delighted counsel
sent him the following message:
Justice and truth have triumph
ed"
What was his amazement at re-
ceiving a few hours later a telegram
from his client which said:
Yours received. Hard luck. APP
peal Immediately" - Philadelphia

So Ee Didn't,

Little George, aged three and a
half years, owns a rocking horse,
which he does not care much for.
One day his aunt was looking at a
Christmas book and turned to a pic
ture Of little boy Oh rocking horse.
A little girl was standing back of the
horse pulling its tail. Georges aunt
said: "Geotge, come and look at
this little boy on a rocking horse
just like yours, and having such a
good time; why don't you care for
yours?" George looked 1T it for a
minute, considering an answer, then
turned away indifferently, saying. Il
don't have any little girl to pull his
tail "-DelineatOr.

Widows And MatrimOny.

Passing from these higher emo
lions of the soul, there remain many
and numerous practical reasons for
marrying a widow. In the first place
she knows man, all his little weak
nesses and foibles. She makes allow
ances for them, and even INDUCES the
poor fellow in his more harmless fol-
lies, just as the experienced trainer
from time to time gives the colt the
rein. There Is wisdom In this
that the young thing just graduated
from an unbroken course of ice
cream, soda water and theater par
ties might well desire to possess; 1t
would save many rude shock in be-
ginning the stern realities of mar
ried existence. Another thing, she
can cook. No. may have lived to
eat the fiaky biscuit and unimpeach-
able pastry of her making, but it is
doubtful whether he was ever able
to enjoy them. By the time she had
mastered the art his indigestion had
become irreparably damaged; he
could only look and long and re-
turn to dry toast and tea. In thou
sand little ways the second husband
was the beneficiary and could truth
fully acknowledge that dear Johns
loss was his own great gain. All
of the testimony, however, Is not OF
this character. Marriage is lot
terry at best, and one may draw a
blank in picking widow just as
easily as through the choice of an
untried mate.-Washingt Post.

PAINT FAULTS.

It is a common occurrence nova
days to hear man remark with dis
gust: "It Is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question Is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect satisfactory
painting Job without pure white lead.
There is way = make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the key bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. How
ever, any one can test white lead

ity Bldg, New York City, will send
you a lead tester and painters outfit,

the year in the country. The city
schools have the finest appliances,
the most thoroughly equipped teach
ers and the advantage of the most ap-
proved modern systems of pedagogy,
and city children are wide awake,
alert and ambitious at an earlier age
than is usual with children in the
country.
Having admitted this much let me
vote in favor of country life for chill
dren. The lad brought up On the
farm has not only free scope for rum
ming, jumping, climbing hills, fishing
and enjoying outdoor pastimes; he
has, besides, tasks about the home,
the farm animals to feed and care
for, and numbers of things to do that
develop in him real manliness while
insuring his healthful growth. In
every one OF our great cities statistics
might be taken that would show how
the country boys forge ahead in the
contests of business and the profess
sions. They come from the noun
tains and the seashore, the sturdy
lads who had their earliest prepare
ton in district schools and by the
farmers hearth; they come from the
little towns and villages and the
pleasant suburbs and in their young
manhood they take honors in college,
and later on they take honors in
life

An Ingenious Rest Cure.

Some managers crave responsible
ty as a child does sugar. Take it
away from them and their spirits
drop and they lose their stamina.
The office manager of vigorous
wholesale house was once given a
months vacation, supposedly to re-
fresh his mind and get his thoughts
on other lines. He left hale,
hearty and vitality sturdy man. He
was supposed to be basking in the
sunshine of a mountain lake, taking
life easy, far away from the toll and
care of the greedy mart. In reality
he was eaten alive by mosquitoes,
worried to death for fear of bust
ness going wrong, and chafed by a
dragging Impotence. His very soul
longed for the strife and his misera-
BILE ennui drove him to aggravated
liver troubles. In three weeks he
returned blanched and haggard. He
was put to work, loaded to the
guards with responsibility, and with
is hours toll per day he fattened
like a corn-fed pig. 1t was better
than the most ingenious rest cure
ever invented To this day the man
breads his enforced layoff over Sun
day.-Brooklyn Magazine.

A Hair Famine Predicted.

Hair has considerably risen in
price. In the city of Limoges, the
principal market for hair, kilo OF
hair worth 81 a few years ago now
fetches "a los. This rise has been
caused by the increased size of hats,
which necessitates an extra supply
of hair so as to offer proper basis
to the new structures. Moreover, the
young French peasant girls are less
anxious to part with their tresses;
and the dealers in hair are unable
to cope with the demand made upon
them. The crisis is attaining huge
proportions, and wearers of false hair
would do we'll to lay in stock or
they will be compelled to pay famine
prices.-Gentlewom

might be obtained by the shores of

that holiday spent in manufacture

effect. Gray skies and black earth
would cause depression, with conse-

went on, lis, spend your leisure as
much as possible in blue or green sur
roundings; or, if it is more activity
than rest you want, make for chalk
cliff or snow fields, which have slim
