Good thing?" he asked. Say! Is the
soul a good thing? Is a mans right

then, Perkins has fathomed the soul Of
the great U. S. A. He has studied the
American man. He has watched the
American woman. He has discovered
the mighty lever that heayes this glorious
nation onward in its triumphant course.

Perkins smiled contemptuousIy.

See the old world crumbling to decay!
See the U. S. A. flying to the front in
a gold-painted horseless band-wagon!
Why does America triumph? What is
the cause and symbol of her success!

the pines of Alaska-cans! Tin cans!
Tin cans being opened!'
He looked down at me, and smiled.
THE back yards of Massachusetts are

crowned with old tin cans The towns

He leaned forward, and, taking the
can-opener from my hand, stood 1t up
right against my inkstand. Then he stood
back and waved his hand at it.

 BY GOOD MAJORITY

New Haven, May 14-,Afembers of the Trol1eymen's Undon voted yesterday by a good majority, 1t is claimed, to strike. if necessary to enforce their demand for conference on the recent dis charge of fourteen union enpIoyes from the barn.

 To accommodate the day men. the polls were not closed last night until 10 o'clock and, as result, the ballot was said to be one of the biggest ever boiled.
 The ballot, which shows on just what the men voted, read as follows:
 'HThe company has refused to meet the authorized committee of this df- vision. Are you willing to suspend work to enforce your demands2r -t
 The Wording of the ballot shows clearly the issue upon which the men are fighting. It is not at the present time a question Of the right or wrong men from the barns, but the attitude of the road officials in refusing to re- cefve a committee from the union to confer upon the matter.
 While the situation at the present time seems serious tt is believed that mature consideration will bring about a. settlement. 5e1.fr se ss-
