HOW TRAGEDY WAS AVERTED
Farmer Saw His Predictions Verified
II Train Had Only Como Through
His Land Sideways.

In q Tennessee backwoods lived a
farmer who, although he had never
seen a railroad, yet had his opinion

understood they might cause. Accord
ing to his notion, a train was as
much to be dreaded as a cyclone It.
self. Great, then, was his consterna-
ton upon learning that a right OF
way for railroad was wanted
through his farm. He swore "by
hickory" that no money could buy It.
Finally land enough for the purpose
was condemned and the road built.
The day the first train was to pass,
the neighbors, knowing OF the old
fellows opposition, persuaded him,
nevertheless, to go with them to see
It. AS the train disappeared. some
one said: "You see, Bill, 1t didn't
hurt anything, after ALL Bill was
surprised, but hated to abandon his
contention that a train would ruin
things. wal, yaas," he said. II

It is a coincidence that the men
who laid the foundations for Labor
day selected the first Monday in Sep
TENDER. Why they did so they do not
know except for the fact that at
that time of the year most Of the
industrial institutions Of the country
are either about to resume operations
or have done so, and with a year of
steady work and good wages as the
prospect the toilers felt more in a
mood to jubilate.
The first celebration in New York
took the form which has been the
accepted one for years, namely, a
parade of the union forces of the
city. Following this another fea-
ture, speeches by leading labor ora
tors, was also found on the pro-
gram.
Following the New York outing in
1882 the same organization, encour-
aged by the success of the first affair,
held another one two years later. The
wage-workers in other parts OF the
country started celebrations Of the
same kind.
In 1886 the American Federation Of
Labor went on record as favoring a
day of this kind and instructed the
delegates to work among their con-
stituents and secure as early as pos
sible legislative approval of 1t, This
