1Wo-colored Handkerchief.

At one time any handkerchief that
had its snowy whiteness sullied by a
colored border was considered in the
very worst taste. but now we not only
think colored borders quite desirable,
but complete pale-eolored handker.
chiefs are also chosen, aud the very
newest thing is colored handkerchief
with different colored border. In
both handkerchief and hem the colors
are very delicate. almost pastel in
tints. SO they are lot as terrible as
they sound. Very pale pink with an
equally pale mauve border, and pale
blue with pale French gray hem.
and orchid mauye with a pale blue
pink, or gray border, are the favorite
mixtures.

filed against him last spring for
stealing McJimsey's automobile, any

A reactionary storm period will
take up and prolong disturbances on
the 18th, 18th and 18th. The lars
period is central on the 18th, witnl
Moon as first quarter and near thel
celestial equator. Failing barometeH
change to warmer, with possibly
winter tightening and thunder about
the 18th. will bring continued
storms in these reactionary days,
ending in general snow storms, with
big cold waves following for several
days.
A regular storm period covers the
9th to the cath, being central on
the 2lst. Moon is in extreme north
on the goth, full on the END, and
in perigee on the 23rd. This period
will eliminate on and touching the
22nd, 23rd and cath, progressing
eastward, in low barometer and rain
southwark with stiff billiards. and
high gales northward. all following
by rising barometer and cold wave
sweeping from the northwest far
into the south A decided seismic
period covers the 10Th to oath, being
central on the 22nd. Watch for
earthquake reports on and about the
22nd, 23rd and Gath.
A reactionary storm period falls
on the 26th, 9th and 28th. Moon
is on the celestial equator the 26th,
calling for rapid rise in temperature,
falling barometer, with possibly
winter thunder storms on and touch
ing that date. Rising barometer,
snow and change to much colder will
wind up the period. The indications
are that January will prove month
of hard winter storms and weather.

HARD STORMS IN JANUARY.
Hicks Says January Will Bring Many
Storms of Rain, Snow and Slcet.

A reactionarE storm period is cen
trail on the ard, 4th and 9Th. The
chief aStronOmic causes of disturb
| ance at this time, are the equlnOXes
of Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. The
month will open with cloudy, unset
tied weather. Falling barometer,
bringing rain. sleet and snow, will
pass over the country, from west to
east. on and next to the Bird, 4th
and 5th. Sleet will be a marked
feature Of these storms, especially
in central and northern regions, and
with low dip of the barometer
heavy snow will fall. and a wave
from the northwest will wind up the
period. The moon is in the extreme
south on the 9Th, pulling cold at
lnospheric tides southwark from the
north. Don't be unprepared for
vicious winter storm and weather. A
seismic period covers the 4th to the
10th, central on the 18th.
A regular storm period is central
on the 9th, extending from the 18th
to 18th. A number of decided
storms will pass easterly across the
country during and imme diately fol-
lowing this period, bringing a pro-
lOnSe0 spell OF neaFy storms ana
hard, winter weather. This is at the
center Of the Mars period, combined
with Vulcan, Mercury and Jupiter.
Much of the same character OF
storms and weather existing at this
time, and for several storm periods
previous, will prevail during Jan
uary and February. We believe that
wide and dangerous billiards. will
visit most parts of the country, with
tropical storms in the south, end
4 ing in the great cold waves over the
entire country

ONE bRA|NERD UNION
QUITS FEDERATION
Boilermakers' Union of Which
Vice President Brown Is Men,
Der Withdraws.

The Boilermakers' union of Brain
erd, this week notified the secretary
treasurer of the Minnesota State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor of it's intention to
withdraw from the state body on July
81, next. The withdrawal is said to
be the outgrowth of the failure Of
some of the Brainerd unions to elect
certain one Of their number mem
Der of the executive council of the
State Federation Of Labor
P. T. Brown, Of Brainerd is the
member from that district. He is also
member Of the Boilermakers' union.
It Is believed that this union voted to
withdraw from the federation to COM
pei Vice President Brown to resign
his position. They will hold that Mr..
Brown will be Ineligible to serve AZ
vice president of the federation, as
his union is not affiliated Herewith.
This situation will bring out a fine
point in the Interpretation of the con-
stitution of the State Federation Of
Labor. The executive council will be
called upon to settle the question at
its meeting in September.

ST. PAUL PLUMBERS
PLAY 4 { STRANGE GAME
Protests Against $25. a Month
for. Clerk Hire in Federation
u" Office.

The st., Paul Plumbers union, at
its last meeting. adopted long set
Of resolutions protesting against the
action Of the St. Cloud convention
Of the State Federation Of Labor for
appropriating SIS a month for clerk
hire and rstenographical' work in the
office Of the secretary treasurer.
The resolutions attempted: to cite
q number of reasons why this sum of
money should not be appropriated.
1t is sscontended that twill be neces-
sary. to take the money from the or
ganization' fund to pay for the clerk
hire, while, as a, matter of, fact, the
organization fund last year was drawn
from the general fund. Axel Peter
son, q member Of the st. Paul Plumb
ers' union, was q candidate Tor Sec
retary-treasurer at the st. Cloud con-
vention. sss %.. 81 i
i The st. Paul Painters union also
appointed a committee to- draft reso-
lutions to protest against the appro-
lprition for clerk hire. . a.5 2s
And the surprising thing about it
All is. that these resolutions have
been adopted by trade unions, whose
members advocate and demand fair
wages for the labor they perform.
After MI I 1t 1 seems that it does not
make any difference who the boss is,
the grievance 10 ever the same.
