A PAIR OF SURPRISES
They Came With a Talk About the

The girl made dron effort to match
her steps to the strides of the tall,
grave man with whom she was walk
ing.
Their caddies followed somewhat
hopelessly in the rear, bristling with
the implements OF golf.
Hal, never saw you in such hor-
rid hurry" laughed the girl, "and
never saw you look $3.50 cross" She
raised to his a fair face glowing from
exercise and blue eyes dancing with
teasing imps.
"Oh, how thoughtless Of me, my
dear" The man slackened his pace
abruptly and looked down at his COM
panion with an indulgent smile-a
smile which lighted up his face with
flash of pleasure, though it faded
quickly, leaving the shadow Of painful
contemplation.
''Out with it, friend" encouraged the
girl, glancing up at him through a
maze of blond rirglets. Are you in
loveY' Her voice died out on the last
word, as If frightened at its own au-
dacity, and her color spread to her
temples. But she walked on gayly be-
side her meditative escort.
''Vivian'-the girls name as he ut
tered it was charged at once with a
tender sympathy and a portentous Sc
rtousness-''I have something on my
mind which concerns you as much
perhaps more than it does myself. In
fact, I've brought you out here today
to talk with you about it. l can think
better in the open.'

scended to come" laughed the girl,
still apparently unimpressed by his
mood. do you know it has been ages
since you have ventured so far from
home with meY'
"Press of business" apologized the
man weakly.
"And that interesting woman" sup
plemented the girl, whoever she is"
The man ignored her challenge. He
seemed too deeply troubled to respond

professor of insulting his countrymen
demanded an apology.

that the pole to which he referred was

A SPIKED MOUNTAIN.

One Of tn Remarkable Geological
Freaks of Mexico.
One of the most remarkable geolog-
zeal freaks in Mexico is a mountain
situated on the outskirts of Pachuca
which presents the appearance at a
distance of being covered with spikes.
The sides of the mountain are closely
studded with stone columns or pail
sades. These columns are five to
twelve feet long and as large around
as an average mans body. 1t is a
remarkable uplift of nature which has
the appearance, however, of being the
handiwork df human beings. One side
of the mountain is almost perpendicu-
lar, and the stone columns protrude
from the surface at right angles, form
ing an impressive picture.
Pachuca is one of the most noted
mining districts in Mexico, and it is
said by geolOgists that this remarkable
spiked mountain is out of keeping
with the remainder of the formation
Of the mineralized region. The stone
is as hard as flint and has withstOod
the elements for ages. The spikes form
natural battlement that makes the
mountain appear from a distance like
some ancient fort. The mines of the
Pachuca district are situated not far
from this Honderful freak of nature.

Official
Circular

To the Members OF Organized Labor and
Friends:
Greeting:
On January 18th, 1909, the National
Association of Hat Manufacturers de-
| creed by the unanimous vote that no
member of their Organization should use
the Union Label of the United Hatters
of North America, under penalty of
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,0O0)
Realizing that this was the beginning of
a movement to do away with all Union
Labels, and although it involved our en-
tire membership, the United Hatters of
North America decided that none of its
members should work for any member
of the National Association of Hat
Manufacturers until it was agreed that
the Union Label should be used on the
product of their labor, and we have stood
firmly by that position ever since. Of the
fifty ght manufacturers who entered in
to this combination nearly forty have re-
signed from the Hat Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, and are now operating Union
Factories and using our Union Label and
we feel greatful to the members of Or
ganized labor whose loyal support made
it possible to bring about this victory
There are yet about twenty large manu-
facturers who still refuse to use the
Union Label, and whose product is sold
in every city in the United States. We
bcrs on strike and are sadly in need of
funds, but the greatest service that can be
rendered is now to create demand for
the Union Label, and we would urgently
request that you take this matter up in
your meeting, and appoint a committee
to wait on the merchants in your city
and request them to handle only Union
made hats. With over hrec-quarters Of
tho Hat Manufacturers now operating
Union Factories and using the Union
Label, there is no reason why a merchant
should insist on dealing with the few
manufacturers who are now fighting our
Organization. With your support we are
determined to continue the fight until all
manufacturers who rcbclled against our
Organization last January will again
agree to use the Union Label.
Hoping you will give this matter your
immediate attention, and thanking you
for this, as well as the many past favors
rendered our Organization in it's present
we are,
Respectfully,
UNITED MATTERS OF N. A.

PLUTE PRESS TACTICS.

Four firms in Milwaukee have just been
fined for selling McLaren s ported cheese,
contrary to the provisions of the pure
food law of the State. The cheese was
found to be doped with chemical preser-
vatives. The local newspapers have given
reports of the case but have not publish
ed the names of the firms that were fined,
not wishing to do them injury.
When a rockingham is fined in cos.rt
for some petty misdemedRor, do the daily
papers spare him by withholding his
name! Not at all.
On the contrary, they try to make up
a funny story at his expense, no matter
how much humiliation it may cause him
and those dear to him.
This is simply another illustration of
capitalstic morals. You are only re-
spected provided you have enough money
to appear powerful.
