LABORING MAN HOPE
 OF PROHIBITIONISTS

Washington, December 13.-"The labor ing man is the hope of the country in the fight against the rum traffic." de- clared John z Lennon, treasurer of the American Federation of Labor to the dele gates at the annual convention of the Antl-Saloon League of America here to- day
 The greatest opportunity in the fight against the saloon, he said, was to be found in organized labor The liquor forces had boasted that as long as or ganized labor stood back of them they had no fear of the church, he said. This continuation can be broken up,' he said, "as soon as Christians begin to interest themselves in organized labor''

FUNNY ANTICS OF
 THE OLD VETERANS
One Lost His Shoe On the Train and Another Entertains Crowd With
 Music From a Bottle.

Many amusing incidents on the trains are reported by travellers since the reunion crowds have flown to- wards Little Rock, says the Stuttgart ArkansawyeY. On a special, yester- day, two veterans furnished laughter for the entire crowd on the train for over 2 hundred miles. One old fellow was an expert on producing music from a small bottle with puck erings of his month and a supply of wind. He paced back and forth through the train playing 'hoe-downs and was followed by his ''pard' who "cut the pigeon wing with the fer yor of youth.
 Last night No. 3. had several pas sengers riding on excursion tickets to Little Rock. As there is no hotel at Altheimer the conductor wired from here for instructions as to whether he should leave the passen- gers here or carry them through to Pine Bluff. While the train crew was waiting for instruction the pas sengers aHghted. Among them were two oI three veterans and a half dozen mid1le-aged ruralists who ap- peared to be warm friends of cer- tain MT. Hayner.
 As in all crowds there is natural leader, and this parsonage answered to the name of Con and was a six footer who was minus Che shoe. The brakeman, who noticed him on the platform, explained his predicament by saying that in a good-natured scuffle up the road one of "Con S. friends succeeded ill getting one shoe from his foot and threw it out of the car window. All enjcyed the joke and none more than the victim.
 There seemed possibility that the traveltrs might have to spend the remainder of the night in the depot, which ;provoked Com to remark: q can't set up all night in a depot with only one shoe on" A member of the bunch grinned and retorted s'It's a derned sight worse to go to reunion in that shape
 Te conductor got orders to carry 2 his passengers to Pine Bluff and that man minus one shoe and his com panions got on beard and went their way.
