A PROCLAMATION
Commendable custom as well as our
statutes designate the first Monday in
each September as a day to be set
aside and devoted to the observances
in honor of labor 1t is only necessary
to remind the people of Iowa that the

OF honest labor, that harmonious rela-
tions between the employee and en-
ployer are essential to the welfare of
our commerce and trade, and that the
condition of our wage earning classes
determines the integrity and solidari-
ty Of our government.
With the ultimate idea of peaceful
adjustment of labor difficulties, of the
of our industrial system
and of the maintenance Of the present
high grade of labor conditions, / deem
it wise to bring to the attention of
our people the true significance of the
day.
Therefore, |. B. F. Carroll, governor
of the state of Iowa, in keeping with
custom and in conformity to law, do
hereby proclaim Monday, September 4,
1911, as Labor day, which, under the
laws of our state is a legal holiday,
and urgently recommend that employ
es and employers unite in observances
appropriate to the occasion. l urge
that in SO far as possible, upon the
day so designated our stores and
shops, mines and factories be closed,
that all business be suspended and
the day spent in honor of that great
body of our citizenship who labor in
the diversified fields of industry with
in our commonwealth.

Warning Before Command.

In bringing up my children I found
that at night when they were tired
they were spared many tears by being
warned before I gave them a strict
command Instead of saying .sNow it
is time to go to bed. Put away YOUR
blocks at once" would say. sIt is
nearly time to 60 to bed. Finish your
house first and then put away your
blocks" In this way the children
were fully prepared to go, and there
was consequently no begging and no
temptation for me to show my lack
OF hrmness by being persuaded to al
low them to build "just one more

WAR OF THE WALKS.
Humors Of the Right of Way on the
Streets of Havana.

Between and 3 o'clock in the after
noon Havana begins to revive from
the lull which fails at about II, for,
although this city no longer frankly
retires to sleep the siesta as she ought,
she does doze duly in the motionless
thick heat of midday.
After 8 one sees ladies venturing
forth in twos and threes to the streets
where the best shops are This is the
hour in which to witness, if one has
eyes and humor for it, a whole series
Of comic occurrences.
Havana's sidewalks are narrow.
and their lack of width gives rise to
some local customs and deal of heart
burning. One does not keep hard to
the right, regardless, in approaching
another person travelling along the
narrow tagging in the opposite direc-
don. One must take under advise
ment sex, age, color and present condi-
ton Of servitude as blazoned forth for
all to read in the details of personal
attire.
Men usually give women the inside
OF the walk, stepping down when
necessary to let them pass. Serving
people, regardless of age and sex, and
all others who so humble themselves
as to carry packages are expected to
yield the walks to their superiors, who
then are about everybody they meet.
frequently, of course, it is difficult
TO make In the flash of turning cor
ner all the nice calculations requisite
to deciding who shall have the walk
and who shall surrender it. I

An Afternoon
Miracle
How a Fearful Heart Came to
Full Courage
By O. HENRY
Copyright. 1907. by the Mcclure
Company.

At the United States end of an in
ternationai river bridge four armed
rangers sweltered in little adobe hut,
excepting fairly faithful espionage
upon the tagging trail Of passengers
from the Mexican side.
Bud Dawson, proprietor of the Top
Notch saloon, had on the evening pre-
Vious violently elected from his prem
dses one Leandro Garcia for alleged
violation of the Top Notch code of be-
havior. Garcia had mentioned twenty
four hours as limit, by which time he
would call and collect a plentiful in
demnity for personal satisfaction.
This Mexican, though a tremendous
lbraggart, was thoroughly courageous,
and each side Of the river respected
him for one Of these attributes.
The day designated by Garcia for ret
ribution was to be further signalized
on the American side by a cattlemen's
convention, bullfght and an old
settlers barbecue and picnic Knowing
the aVenger to be man Of his word
and believing it prudent to court peace
while three such gently social relaxa-
lions were in progress, Captain Nc
'Nu1ty of the ranger company stationed
there detailed his lieutenant and three
men for duty at the end Of the bridge
Their instructions were to prevent the
invasion of Garcia, either alone or at
tended by his gang.
Travel was slight that sultry after
noon, and the rangers swore gently
and mopped their brows in their con-
venient but close quarters. For an
hour no one had crossed save an old
woman enveloped in brown wrapper
and black mantilla, driving before
her burro loaded with kindling wood
tied in small bundles for peddling
Then three shots were fred down the
street, the sound coming clear and
snappy through the still air.
The four rangers quickened from
sprawling, symbolic figures Of indo-
aence to alert life, but only one rose to
his feet Three turned their eyes be-
seemingly but hopelessly upon the
fourth, who had got nimbly up and
was buckling his cartridge belt around
him. The three knew that Lieutenant
Bob Buckley in command would allow
no man of them the privilege Of in
vestigating a row when he himself
might go.
The agile, broad chested lieutenant,
without change of expression in his
smooth, yellow brown, melancholy face
shot the belt strap through the guard
of the buckle, hefted his skies in their
holsters as belle gives the finishing
touches to her toilet, caught up his
Winchester and dived for the door.
The three relapsed into resigned in
ertia and plaintive comment
1--WE heard Of fellows" grumbled
Broncho Leathers, what was welded
to danger, but if Bob Buckley amt
committed bigamy with trouble I'm a
son of a gum
'Peculiarness Of Bob u.s." inserted
the Neuces Kid, 'Fhe amt had proper
trainin'. He never learned how to git
skeered. Now man ought to be skeer-
ed enough when he tackles a fuss to
banker after readin' his name on the
list of survivors anyway"
Buckley commented Ranger No.
