WHY JOIN A UNION?

Because it tends to raise wages.
!. This is proved by all sorts of evi-
. dence.
Because it prevents a reduction
/ In wages. Reductions rarely come
! to well organized labor.
Because 1t aids in getting
! shorter hours. Ask the union
I men who are working eight
! hours. They can prove it. They
can show a union card also.
Because in union there Is
strength. This Is as true Of wage
earners as of states.
Because it makes labor respect
ed. Power wins respect from
employers as from all men.
Because it gives men self re-
lance.
! Because 1t develops fraternity.
Craftsmen are all too jealous of
! and suspicious of one another
even at the best.
Because it is a good invest
ment. No other investment gives
back so large a return for eX-
pendlture of time and money.
Because It makes thinkers.
Men need to rub intellects togeth-
err in matters Of common con-
. Germ.
Because it enlarges acquaint-
. ance. This world is too restrict
ed for wage earners.-Minneso

-pEDLAR's ACRE" IN LONDON


Belvedere road in London Is built
over the ''Pedlar's Acre." which not
long ago figured in the law courts.
In st. Mary's, Lambeth, this mys-
FERROUS pedlar, a fifteenth century
worthy, has his memorial window.
For it was condition Of his be-
quest Of land to the parish that it
should always be so. "Pedlar's Acre"
in 1900 was valued at 2s Sd; what,
allowing for the changed values Of
money, is its worth todayP Hare,
in his "Walks," tells us that in 1884
the pedlar's memorial, "this single
interesting and important possession
of the church, was removed by the
church wardens to make room for a
window of trashy modern glassP'
But the pedlar came into his OVID,
again ere a decade had passed.

cENTENARlANs ARE NOT FEW
More Than Seven Thousand Of Them
in Europe at the Latest
Count.

Statistics gathered by the pains
taking Germans say that there were
in Europe, at the last count, more
than seven thousand persons over a
century old. The richer the country,
apparently, the fewer persons attain
extreme old age. Bulgaria heads the
list with 1888 centenarians, with its
neighbors, Roumania and Servia,
next with 1,704 and 573, Spain has
40 and France 213; no other coun-
try had more than 200; England had
only 90, and the three Scandinavian
states were at the bottom of the list,
Denmark having only two. Evident
ly the Balkans, scene of almost con-
slant war for the last century, is the
most likely place in which to attain
old age.

now giving the people of Foreston an

hearing speaker so eminently able
and eloquent as Father Vigilius
Krull, and rare treat is in sto re

The people of Princeton, regardless
of religious affiliation, appreciate
very highly the work which Father
Krull performed while here. His
kindly words of advice will long be

Best Arranged Armory in State.

Captain O'Leary of ST. Paul, who
was here this week installing rifle
range in the new armory, says that
the general arrangement of the new
home Of Company G is the best in
the state. The large auditorium and
stage particularly takes his fancy,
and he says the people of Princeton
should highly appreciate SO magnifi-
|cent structure, which can be util-
lied for the purpose of large public
gatherings. He spoke a good word
for Captain Alfred Johnson, Captain
Galley and other enterprising citizens
who have worked hard to make
possible the acquisition. by the
village of Princeton of this imposing
|edifce. -.
Captain O'Leary has placed rifle
ranges in all the National Guard
armories SO far erected in the state
under the new law and, besides be-
ing an expert in his profession, he
is most genial man to meet.

K. P. MEMORIAL DAY

Honor Memory Of Brothers

Rev. Fisher Delivers BETTING Sermon
and Graves of Dead Are Dec.
Grated With Flowers.

Members of Princeton lodge, No.
SO, met at Castle hall on Sunday
morning and, preceded by contin-
gent of the Citizens band, marched
to the Congregational church to at
tend memorial services for their
brothers who have joined the grand
lodge on high.
The services were conducted by
Rev. J. o. Fisher. pastor of the
church, who preached a sermon par,
ticularly beftting the occasion which
was highly appreciated by the audi
ence. 1t was sermon from which
all could learn much good-a sermon
of brother]y love. The musical part
Of the program, arranged by Mrs. H.
G. Cooney, was also very appropriate
and admirably rendered.
At the close of the service the
Pythians, preceded by the band
marched to Oak Knoll cemetery
where the impressive ritualistic rites
of the order were read and the grave!
of departed members decorated with
roses. The procession then marched
hack to the hall and disbanded.
The setting apart by the Pythian
of day in each year to thus homo
the memory of their dead brother
is very pretty custom.

The Dancing Pachyderms.

To be up to date is the sole am
bition of all persons connected with
a circus. A good illustration of this
is the case of Emory Styles, superin-
tendent of Gollmar Bros. big me-
nagerie, and trainer of their herd of
performing elephants .~
A few years ago Mr.. Styles had his
huge actors dancing the "Merry
Widow waltz. That craze did not
last long. Then he taught them to
''Turkey Trot.' The Turkey Trot
has become passe. The latest terpsi-
chorean diversion and the newest
dance is the ''Tango." AS. soon as
it was introduced Mr.. Styles at once
went to see all the best Tango
dancers in the country; and, after
satisfying himself that he knew the
dance thoroughly, returned to the
winter quarters Of the show and
began teaching the elephants the
Tango. When the first performance
was given this spring lat the large
auditorium building in Milwaukee,
Mr.. Styles introduced the Tango
dancing elephants.
| 10 see the monster creatures
locked in a fond embrace, their
ungainly bodies swaying in perfect
time to the seductive, syncopated
strains of the band is positively con-
vulsing.

A Decided Triumph.

Miss Adah Irene Wotring, dauCh-
ter of Hon. and Mrs. G. H. Warner,
recently gave dramatic recital of
''The TESTERS in the opera house at
Aitkin. OF this recital the Aitkin
Independent says, among other
things:
''Miss Adah Irene Wotring scored
a decided triumph at the opera house
last Saturday night, with her rem
dition of The TESTERS by Miguel
Zamacois. Miss Wotring appeared
before an invited audience which
filled the house, and that it was an
appreciative one was demonstrated
time and again by the sincere and
spirited applause accorded the young
artist whenever particularly good
reading of the lines prompted an ex-
preston of approval on the part of
the audience.
'From the opening lines of The
Jester to the tender rendering by
Miss Wotring as pianologue of the
exquisite and dainty Legend of the
Forget-me-not' the evening was a de-
light and treat. The play, ir
which she assumed all the charac
tiers, naturally called upon all he1
resources to respond to the exactine
task, and as the plot developed the
young woman's hearers became more
and more surprised at the versatility
displayed, and at the growing power
of the young voice, which many Of
her hearers feared would never gain
the requisite strength for full sue.

soon as that is received the lower
court should dismiss the cases. 1t
is then up to the railroad companies
to obey the state law without any
further delay. They might delay
the matter some by applying for a
reargument, but it is very seldom
that the supreme court grants re-
argument, and in this case, the de-
cision being unanimous, it is most
improbable.
