he had roman-candles or ~spin-wheels

work right the COW would lie down

Spillgath did the best he could for
a while, but the COW grew worse. She
wanted the spin-wheels in the top of
the elm tree so she could be climbing
the tree and watching the fireworks
simultaneously. This really aggrayat.

to its head. 1t was a melancholy calf.
When it was not bawling to be boost.
ed into the tree it was bawling be-
cause it had alighted on its head. In
a few weeks it wore out that tree, and
Mr.. Spillgath had TO do his best to
boost it into the big elm, and that was
pretty hard work, for the crotch of the
elm was about IL feet up. He was
obliged to run to Aunt Rhinocolura
every day for contributions.
What made it worse was that the
calf was growing all the while, and
while 1t Is not so bad to boost a calf
up a tree 1t is a job and a half to boost
a COW, and it takes a lot of contribu-
tions. Mr.. Spillgath had to hire sew
eral of his relatives to help him, and
they would all take hold of the cow
and give her a mighty boost into the
crotch of the elm. Sometimes they
boosted so hard that they tossed the
COW right through the crotch and
over the fence into Orone McDooble's
yard but that did not make much differ
ence, for the COW always fell out Of
the crotch anyway, o n or later,
and 1t saved time. When they tossed
the COW right over they were able to
get her and toss her again all the
sooner. When they did not toss, the
COW bawled, and when they did toss,
she fell with a thud and bawled just
the same. And there wasn't anything
seemed to interest the COW but tree
climbing.
Except fireworks. The COW was
passionately fond of fireworks. Pass.
ionately! Reverend Spillgath dis

tree and lit on its head. 1t bawled
about that for an hour, and then it
got up and turned around and put its
fore feet on the tree trunk and bawled
TO be up in the tree again. So Mr..
Spillgath gave 1t another boost, and it
scrambled up into the crotch and
,bleated once joyfully, and fell out of
the tree OF the other side.
For a week the Reverend Spillgath
spent all his time boosting the calf
into the tree and seeing 1T fall out
again, but at the end Of that time the
calf was able to lie In the crotch of
the tree with it's hind legs hanging
down one side of the tree and its fore
legs hanging down the other, and 1t
should have been happy, but 1t wasn't.
AS soon as 1t was able to remain in
the crotch 1t began looking toward
the upper branches and bawling to
be UP In them. But as soon as the
Reverend Spillgath gave 1t a boost 1t
fell through the crotch onto its head.
1t was a sad case Of misapplied devo-
tion to an ideal. and Reverend Spill
gath went over to Aunt R~hinocoinra's
and got another contribution out of
her for the Improvement OF the condi-
ton of tree-climbing calves.
Oddly enough the cash contribu-
tions OF Aunt Rhinocolura did not
seem to improve the calf In the way
Of climbing. It remained a mighty
poor tree climber. and no explanations

helped the calf much. Mr.. Spillgath
would explain to the calf how to climb
the tree, and then he would follow pre-
cept with example, and would climb
the tree himself, and the calf would
look on eagerly. and fairly pant to do
II herself, and then Mr. Spillgath
would give the calf q boost and It
would paw at the tree with Its legs

VESSELS TO BE REPAIRED.
Steamer Fortuna at Alexandra
Lighter at BENEFITS Yard.

The stern paddle wheel steamer For
tuna OF Philadelphia, which was towed
from Aqua creek to Alexandria last
week by the tug Capt. Toby Of this city,
has been hauled out on the marine rail-
way at Alexandria for general repairs
1t is stated that the hull of the steamer
will be calked and painted, her upper
works receive a thorough overhauling
and painting, machinery is to be over
hauled SO as to give the vessel addi
tional speed and she is to be made ready
for service. The steamer had been lying
in AQUA creek for over a year, with no
one but a Waterman aboard, and had re-
ceived no care. When she was brought
up the river she looked to be in a very
diIapidated condition, but II is stated
that the repairs to her can be quickly
made and she can be put in condition for
service at a very small cost She is the
only stern paddlewheel craft on the Po-
tomac and was brought here for service
out of Aqua creek.
One of the large lighters belonging to
the John Miller Company used in bring
ing sand and gravel from digging
grounds along the river to this city is
out on the railway at Benefits boat
ward for a general overhauling. II Is
stated that all unsound planking and
timbers are to be taken out Of the hull
Of the craft and she is to be put in
thorough order for good service.

STRIKE IS POSSIBILITY
MASTER BUILDERS ENUNCIATE
THEIR POSITION.
Labor Unions Likely to Resent An
nouncement Of 0pen-Shop Policy.
Friction for Some Time.

Resolved, That We will not permit any
Of our members to be Disseminated
against by the labor unions, and that we
reserve to ourselves the right to employ
such subcontractors and mechanics as in
our judgment will produce the best re-
Suits"
The foregoing was the point Of a reso-
luton adopted last night at a joint meet
ing Of the Master Builders Association
and the Builders League. 1t was a state
ment Of the position of the two organi-
cations on the question Of organized labor
and the open shop.
1t was said by Frank L. Wagner Of the
was not intended as a defiance to the
a view to precipitating trouble. but was
intended rather as a statement of position
that would ward OF trouble.
There has been some friction in the past
between the master builders and the la
boring men, because some Of the subcon-
tractors insisted on employing men as
they saw fit. Certain unionists. espec-
tally bricklayers. refused to work with
non-unfon men.
Now that the line has been drawn
sharply, II is stated, one side or the
other must recede or there will be a
strike
James l.. Parsons, president Of the
Builders League, said that the stand the
master builders are taking was forced on
them by the labor men themselves.
He said that on one particular job.
where all union men were employed. there
was strike because one subcontractor
on the work was employing non-union
men on another job in a different part of
the District. He said that this was a
state Of affairs that the master builders
could not tolerate.
Secretary Sam De Nedrey OF the Cen
trail Labor Union was seen today and
said: Il do not think that the labor sit
uation is likely to lead to a strike. The
Master Builders Association represents
very small fraction Of the employers
in Washington. Their action is annoy
ing rather than serious. Organized labor
is as a body for peace and the upbuilding
of the city. and do not think the action
Of the employers meeting last night is
going to be allowed to interfere with

GRASSES IN RIVER.
Unusual Quantity Washes Out From
the Shoal Places.

While it is not uncommon at this sea-
son Of the year for the river in the
vicinity of this city to be well covered
with floating islands of grasses and reeds
from the shoals of the Eastern branch
and from the Virginia side Of the river,
the steamboat men state that there
are more of them this season than for
several years past. Capt. Jim Marina
duke, the veteran commander Of the
steamer River Queen. who has been navi-
eating the Potomac for forty-f1ve years,
states that yesterday as his steamer was
passing the mouth of the Eastern branch
that waterway resembled the Thousand
Islands from the clumps of reeds and
oats that were coming out with the tide.
Some of them were only foot or two
In diameter. others measured several
yards across and looked strong enough
to bear the weight of a person. In all
his long experience, Capt. Marmaduke
said, he had never before witnessed such
sight
