The superintendent OF the Black Con
struction company walked home up Six

get more laborers 20 work on the new
City National bank building.
He came along as far as Chicago street
and his eyes suddenly dilated as he saw
a large number Of men sitting, or reclin-

'Ahal" said he to himself. Here is
where 1 pick up a few"
He advanced and lax words with the
gntlemen who stitch in the park. He
talked most persuasively, and he has quite
a persuasive tongue.
AS the result of his labors, one man-one
was induced to rise and agree to a k a
Job. The others threw scornful looks
toward the apostate from the Ignoble
Order Of Never Sweats, bat this indus
trious one needed them not.
Next day, however, the recruit worked
one hour. Then he wended his way back
to the square and is there yet.
There is a decided scarcity OF day labor
in Omaha, and all builders and contractors
have been bothered by It.

and | am informed you people of
Puget Sound have plenty of rain
during the winter months. live in
the southern part of the Centennial
State, and we irrigatc our land down
that way.
When we have wet season our
ranchers are ticllcd, you bet; but
when comes Il dry one, they are
much worried on account of the scant
amount of the precious fluid; whether
or not, they will be able to secure
enough from the Canal company
which supplies it, to insure the rails
ing of their crops, whatever they
may be. The stealing of water was
carried to such Il degree of boldness
that the Canal company appointed a
man named Blake to act as sort OF Il
Water Commissioner. you might
say. by the way. Blake is propre-
tor of Il general merchandise store,
in my home town, but he charges
such eXorbltant prices for his goods
that many ranchcrs in my district
only patronizc him when necessity
cOmpelS them to; not otherwise.
Hence many of them send to Il large
department store in Chicago for
their supplies. Blake, the Water
Commissioner, if you please, is fully
aware of this, and of course docsn t
like 1T any too well.
There is always quarrel over the
water for irrigating purposes among
the ranchers during Il dry season.
One accuses another of using more
than his share, while another will
claim to Blake that he does not re-

pays such an outlandish price, on ac-
count of some other rancher stealing
it, and thus it goes.
Well, one day, during recent
dry season, one of our ranchers,
whom. if he wants a paper of COM
mon pins or a box of matches, sends
to the department store in Chicago,
for the same, was giving Blake Hail
Columbia, because, as he declared,
he could not get a few drops of water
into his ditch.
Blake, knowing the old rancher
sent to Chicago for all his mcrchan-
disc, never patronizing his store in
town, listened to him as he foamcd,
ranted, stormed and swore, until the
old fellow wound up his TRADE on the
acting Water Commissioner, and the
Canal company, in general, by ask
ing: Well, what shall | do about
it?'
Blake gazed at him with a look of
withering contempt. then he said:
Well, Mr.. Alfalfa, you had bet

water. . -Lue f. Vernon.

Friendless Miiitarism.

Agriculture in Germany, remem-
ber. pays its laborers % cents G day
and they board themselves.
Industry in Germany. bear in mind g,
also, pays its highly skilled artisans
80 per week of sixty hours or more.
Militarism compels the common
people of Germany to arm themselves
against the common people of France
and Russia, Austria or Italy.
The plain everyday people of all
these countries have the same friends,
food and clothing They have the
same enemies, cold and hunger
The system that burdens and arms
the masses of one country for defense
or Otfense against the masses of an
other country, is European, militar-
ism. That system has not friend
among the masses anywhere.
There is no likeness to European
militarism in the patriotic common
sense that recognizes conditions and
prepares to meet them.

Ears and Emotions.

see fish writhing in its death agony
without pity, but no one can so listen
to an animals shrieks of pain. This
is as it should he, for however wrong

The ear also is intensely personal.

veal why through the ear the pro-
foundest depths of being are revealed;
for some persons, indeed, music, in

Large House Built From One Tree.

n l4-room house was recently built
at Elma, Washington, from the lum-
Der of a single yellow fir. There was
nearly $4,000 fit. of lumber in the
logs of the tree, and the stump inside
the bark measured 9 #. The total
height of the tree 300 it,, its lumber
was worth 1000, and the trunk was
straight and without Il limb for 100 #.
Statistics show that there is enough
timber standing in the State Of
Washington to build 5,000,000 six
room houses, sufficient to shelter one
third of the population of the United
States. The timber would furnish
ties for l,S93, ,939 miles of railway
track, or suffice to construct plank
road } in. thick and 500 ft. wide.
that would extend around the world
twice.
