loyalty toward the n1aidens of their home city when they desert them to be enamored of the charms of Putnams s fair young women.
 It has become a habit of various Webster swains to spend much of their time evenings each week courting Putnam girls. Naturally, while these young men are down here saying pret- ty things to pretty creatures, some of the dear girls up at Webster are left lonely and with an opportunity to do their winters knitting
 Some reckless man has been so rash as to ask the Webster girls about it; hence the verbal turmoil now in prog ress.
 The deserting young men plead that Webster girls are all right, but it is cold weather now, and as they do not take their gentlemen friends into their homes, but make them walk the street, Putnam, where the cozy parlors are always open for them, looks like a better proposition until the roses bloom again-and by that time they will probably like someone here enough to keep coming.
 The Webster girls say: "Piffie! Let them go to Putnam if they want to- We never cared much. anyway, for fellows of that brand, and if they haven't been invited into our parlors it is because, in our opinions, they don't deserve to bel"
 The Putnam girls are saying noth- ing. Why should they? It is their turn to smile and to keep the boys a-coming.

GIFT OF s25.
Son Of Former Pastor Contributes to Redecoration Fund for Berlin 

A letter from Henry A. Robbins of New York city was received this week by z. NJ Cowles, chairman Of the committee which is raising money for the redecoration of the interior of the First church, at Berlin. Enclosed was a check for $25 for the redecora- ton fund.
 MT Robbins is the only surviving member of the family of Rev. Royal Robbins, who was pastor of the First church for nearly half a centnry He is S2, but is still active and possessed of strong mental and physical vitality. His father was one of the favorite pastors of the church, remembered by some of the older members of the con- gregation- It is natural that the son of a man so long identified with the church should be interested in the re- decoration of the edifice in prepara- ton for it's 250th anniversary.

G0mPERS AND HIS
ASSOCIATES FREED
Supreme Court Directs
: Dismissal of Cases
Against Them.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 15.-
Holding that the imposition of
finee and Jail sentences on Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, president, vice
president and secretary, respec-
lively, Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, were unwarranted
by the nature of the contempt,
and that the district supreme
court should only have imposed
fine, the supreme court today
freed the labor leaders and direct
ed that the cases against them be
dismissed.
The three labor men were sem
fenced for alleged disobedience of
court Injunction restraining
them from publishing the name
of the Bucks Stove 81 Range Co.,
of St. Louis in the "unfair list"
in the American Feders ZIONIST,
the official organ of the American
Federation of Labor.
The decision was that the case
was one purely of civil contempt
and only punishable by fines and
that since it was established the
Bucks Stove d Range Co.. had
patched up it's differences with
the American Federation of
Labor, the case should be dis
missed outright.
When the decision was handed
down, Samuel Gompers was OF
the train between Philadelphia
and Baltimore, en- route to Wa ash
ington from New York. The de-
cision of the highest court was one
of the greatest victories ever won
by union labor in this cause.

most leaders. 1t was looked up
on by union men as marking tn g
turning point in the fight of
unionism in America.
The tribunal held that when
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison
dlsobeyed the mandate of the
District Of Columbia suprem g
court and continued the boycot
against the Bucks Stove ~ Range
CO., they were guilty only of civil
contempt, and they should have
been punished by a fine paid to
the stove company--a fne meas,
