STRIKERS DRAW
THE COLOR LINE
WHITE MEN OF GEORGIA DETER
MINED TO DUST THEIR BLACK
COMPETITORS.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 21.-There
were sensational developments Thurs
day in connection with the strike Of
white firemen on the Georgia Rail-
road, the more important being a
threat on behalf of the firemen to ex.
tend the strike to every road in the
South and the formal appeal by Off
cials of the Georgia Railroad to the
Federal authorities to take hand in
order to safeguard the mails.
The following telegram was sent to
the General Chairman of the firemen
of every road in the South by E. A.
Ball, of Toronto, Can, Vice President
of the Order of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers, who is in charge of
the strike:

tional one. Hold yourself in readiness

Mr.. Ball denies that the striking
firemen have been connected with al
legged violence on the Georgia Railroad
and intimidation of strikebreakers.
limited States District ATTORNEY Tate
said that complaints had been filed with
his office by officials of the Georgia
Railroad with reference to the delay
of the mails on account of demonstra-
tions against negro f1remen. He ad-

investigated.

THE WATcHW0RD OF MISSOURI
Famous "show Me" Phrase Was First
PopuIarized by a Tramp
Printer.

The effort of Rev. DR.. John Clark
Hill to discover the origin of the fam
GUS phrase has resulted in the discov-
cry that the sentence, "Tm from Mis-
souri,, you'll have to show me-" origin
ated in the publishing house of
Springfield agricultural paper. The
Cleveland Plain Dealer says.
About fourteen years ago there was
working there printer by the name
of Sam McIlhenny, who hailed from
Missouri and who did not hesitate to
say so. He talked about it SO much
that it got to be joke among the
printers. One day letter came from
a Missouri farmer complaining vo-
ciferously that his paper had been cut
off, In concluding, he said: "You
folks may think it's all right to stop
the paper paid for, but I'm from Mis-
souri,; you've got to show me-"
The circulation man whe read the
letter thought it was pretty good and
took it up to show McIlhenny and the
other printers. 1t soon became a by
word among them and for many
months was a phrase on everybody's
lips.
One day tourist blew In and he
astonished everybody by springing the
much-used sentence.
Where did you hear that?" queried
the astonished McIlhenny.
"Oh, 1 first heard it in Cleveland,
from Harry Wines" he said, land he's
been using it all over the east.''
Wines was a tramp printer of the
most typical sort He hailed original
ly from Springfield, worked there part
of the time and set type all over the
United States. 1t appeared that he
lad made Industrious use of the worn
Farm and Fireside joke.
Gradually it was spread and it re-
ceived big impetus when used in
the comic opera, THE Shotgun" which
is supposed to have given the phrase
its first really national circulation.

II a man doesn't love his work. he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to love it. The manual-train-
ing scheme has this in view-to sur
round the job a man is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make it attractive to him.
"The man who is. in love with his
Job gets more contentment out Of life
than any other" says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets great part of his
contentment in doing his work right
No man can love his work who shirks
No man can be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk-
ing or doing it negligently. So these
things always go together-honest
work. contentment and love of the job.

Very well! He was prepared. Now
let the play begin!
OF course it was not necessary for
lady of Vera's lively imamingation
to play the same comedy twice. This
time the stage setting, dialogue and
action were quite new, but the finale
was the same-a nocturnal flight.

al express she slumbered without
dreaming that her husband lay awake
within few yards of her, and on the
following evening, when she peeped
out of the troika which conveyed her
from the station to fashionable ho-
tel on the Nevsky Prospect she failed
to recognize her trim and elegant
Mishko in the fur-wrapped occupant
of carriage close behind her. Mish-
ko stopped at the same hotel and
next morning stationed himself in
cab near the entrance After waiting
three hours he saw his wife come out
and enter troika. He followed her
to fine apartment house in Volshaya
street and to an apartment on the Sec
ond floor, the door of which closed aft
er her, almost in his face. In wild ex-
citement he rang the bell and was ad-
mitted by servant in livery. AS he
entered he heard a scream and a
sound of something falling to the
floor, and through an inner doorway
he saw Vera standing and at her feet
"a broken dental plate with two in
cisors!
Man is strange creature. Mishko,
1t might be supposed, would have
shouted with joy at this proof that
his tormenting suspicious we're
groundless, but it was also a proof
that Vera had deceived him in anoth-
er way for years, and this new
thought completely engrossed him.
AS they drove back to the hotel he
listened with very bad grace to her
fearful explanation.
1t had happened when she was a
schoolgirl in st. Petersburg-an acci-
dent in skating. Luckily no one had
seen the damage except her father,
who had hurried her of to the best
dentist in the city-the one she had
just visited-and nobody had ever
guessed her humiliating little secret.

Because there lived the one man
