president of the Woman s Trade Union

president of the Woman s Trade Union
League, is general favorite. She is
wonderfully brilliant woman, and her
life has been one of devotion to the
cause of her working sisters. She led
victory, and she practically won the
strike for the garment workers in Chi
cago. Alice Henry, editor Of the OF
fetal organ of the Woman s Trade I'm
ion League, is another powerful factor
in the labor movement. There is no
sacrifice too great for Mrs. Henry to
make if in the making she can ad-
vance the cause of her working sisters.
Gentle, yet with positive character, she
is leader in the world g industrial
progress. Agnes Nestor, the tireless
little secretary of the Gloveworkers'
international, watches everything Like
a hawk, and not one point escapes her.
In knowledge of the union movement
and the best methods of accelerating
the progress, Agnes Nestr has few
equals and no ,superiors among the men
whose names are most familiar to the
working world.

Rumor has it that Tony Donahue
of Omaha is an applicant for the po-
sition of deputy labor commissioner,
now held by Will M. Maupip. Mr..
Donahue is a republican, has several
times been president of the Omaha
Central Labor Union, frequent aspir-
ant for "a police con1nissionership or
sheriff, and is by occupation a switch
man. Donahue is a loyal union man,
a hard worker and well acquainted
with the organized labor game.
It is reported that Donahue s friends
are already setting the pins for him

also been my good fortune to sit twice
as a delegate in conventions of the
American Federation of Labor
though I have never been a congress
man. But am prepared to say, and
to prove that the average Of brains in
Federation convention is quite as
high, if not higher, than the average
of brains in the present congress of
the United States. There is an earn
estness about the delegates here that
is good to see. It speaks in loud and
encouraging tones for the future of
the trades union movement.
A few seats over from where I am
writing this sits John Mitchell, whose
name is as familiar as the name of
Roosevelt, and whose services to his
fellows far excels those Of the Strenu
Gus One. Near him sits John Walker
of Illinois, another mine worker, whose
name is not so familiar as that OF
Mitchell, but who is making his mari

THE KING OF GROUCHERs.
Amazing State of Mind Possible to
Man Who Carries a Crouch.

The king of all grouchers passed
away in New Jersey few days ago.
He believed himself to be haunted
by misfortune; he lest his farm, his
doubt largely through the continued
cultivation of a grouchy tempera-
ment. At last he took to bed, dis
Susted with life and everything else.
For thirty-one years, he kept his
bed and refused to speak to any
one. 1t was queer way of get
ting square" with the world. He
would rise at night, eat little,
take a walk in the dark and go back
to bed. He deliberately closed the
door against all human kindness
and social intercourse, and when at
last this poor unfortunate passed
away, he took his crouch with him,
for nobody wanted it. This was an
extreme case, of course, and alien
lists would have pronounced the man
crazy; but from all the records, his
Affections, which were probably of
his own making, held no justifica-
ton for such folly as his. Job, the
most afflicted man that ever lived,
was an optimist in comparison.
Grouching is the poorest kind of
retaliation against conditions that
cannot be controlled. Let us look
on the bright side Of things, and
whenever we feel disposed to crouch
let us remember the poor victim of
his temperament who nursed his
crouch until it killed him.-The
Christian Herald.

A REMARKABLE. MAN.

Andrew Carnegie says Theodore
Roosevelt is the most remarkable
man he ever knew. The ironmaster
does not exaggerate.
Mr.. Roosevelt is an exception to
all the rules. He demonstrates
that fact in a new way every day.
The reception accorded him by the
heads of the great nations of Eu-
rope is, of course, much in the ma
ture of tribute to the people of
the United States, but consideration
for us does not account for all the
enthusiasm he is arousing. The
kaiser, for example, might have
wished to manifest his good will
toward the people of America by
showing special attention to our
former president, but that would
not require the very warm personal
regard he displayed for his dis
tinguished guest.
There is no one else in public life,
and probably never was, who is
equally popular with a cowboy or a
kaiser; who can go into the wilds
of Africa and become the idol of the
natives by astounding them with his
skill and endurance at their own
pursuits; who can emerge to deliver
bafOra loarnoJ cooiotioc oIdraccac
on wide variety of subjects and
each scholarly masterpiece; who
is favorite with princes and popu-
lace wherever he goes. President
Roosevelt did many things that were
remarkable. The people of the
United States did not measure him
by the precedents established by
other presidents. Neither did the
people of Africa, nor do those of
Europe and America measure him
by eX-presidential standards.
The United States and the world
has in Col. Roosevelt the spectacle
of private citizen capable of ex-
erting more influence than probably
any other man on earth. If
Andrew Carnegie would realize the
extent of Col. Roosevelt's popular
ity he should recall the public atti-
tude toward some of our other ex-
presidents who also were remark
able men. Gen. Grant was a great
man. He was accorded a great ova-
ton during his world tour, but it
did not compare with the interest
aroused by Col. Roosevelt. And
when Gen. Grant returned the peo-
pie did not look to him for guild
ance. Grover Cleveland was a great
man and great president. yet when
he retired to private life the people
ceased to look upon him as a lead
er. r. B. Hayes, Chester A. Arth-
UT and Benjamin Harrison, as ex-
presidents were not looked to as
political oracles.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

\ Truthful Assertion.

The worst habit that boys can
fall into is that Of loafing around
on the streets at night 1t is then
they cast their lot in slippery places
when at any moment they are likely
to fall from grace. All good and
noble lessons taught them by their
mothers are there counteracted and
nullifed. They learn nothing that
is good-but everything bad. The
boys who spend their evenings in the
sacred precincts of home, with
good books for their companions
are the future hope of this repub-
lie; they will fill our legislative and
congressional halls, and sit in judg-
ment upon men and measures, while
the boys who run the streets will NIL
our penitentiaries, almshouses and
lunatic asylums. Parents who are
responsible for these broken laws
of decency will have broken hearts
and bowed down heads In the
awakening years that will inevitably
follow.

that since he has been a member of
