"Chit Chats by Members Of Star Staff

one day this week on a Springfield
car, Irvington bound.
A gust of wind tore the newspaper
from his hands. The paper sailed
down the car in three different sec
tions. Two sections were promptly
accepted by persons other than the
original owner. The new owners at
once started to read the news of the
day.
The third section of the newspaper
went to a lady who was accompanied
by a child. The child promptly
grabbed the funny page, while the
woman used the remainder of the
paper as additional wrapping for a
bundle she was carrying.
OF the first two sections of the pa
per when it was discarded by the orig
inal owner, one went to a man who
carefully used it for cleaning the
dust off his shoes. 1t was then torn
into bits and allowed to fiutter from
the car window. The other section
was used by a. worlxingman to wipe
the CRIME from his hands.

The Men Higher Up IN Labor.


From the Congregatlonalist.
In Chicago the labor trouble cannot
be charged to capitalists. All build
ing operations have been held up
through the spring months. 1t is now
June, and the foundations of new
buildings look just as they did in
March. not brick laid, not a stroke
of hammer or trowel heard. Why
Because the brickmakers are on a
strike, and that stops everything in
the building line which depends upon
brick. said to a mechanic: DO you
believe in this kind of thing?' No.
he replied with emphasis, and 1t is
not the men in the ranks who are
causing it. It is the labor officials.
This man echoed a sentiment which 1
have often heard expressed. The
trouble is not In the ranks; it is high
er up.
Chicago contractors have shortened
hours and heightened wages and have
made concessions all along the line,
but still the troubles come. 1t mat
tiers not how inconyenient they are,
how much damage they do, how many
people they throw out of work, how
much capital they tie up, how many
contractors and builders they discour-
age. they are precipitated with reck-
less lack of concern for the conse-
uuences. All winter long the news
papers were filled with complaints
regarding an army of jobless men.
When the storms were past and the
sunny days of spring came and every
sparrow building a nest called to men
to go out and build houses, and when
wives wanted to see husbands coming
home with wages. the men who run
the brfcklayers' union tied up the
building trades and held more than
100. 900 workingmen in a condition oil
suspended animation.
These officials do not employ labor,
they pay no wages, tney take nc
sssks Of business. they suffer no losses

What to Do

A rolling stone may get no moss,
A rolling stone may wear away
But many joys it runs across
It's life is reasonably gay.
But on the other well known hand,
The messy stone that stays at home
Acquires merit in the land
But then if always wants TO roam
The married man to fortune gives
Dear hostages and must be good;
He must be careful how he lives
And seldom does the things he would.
The bachelor, a lonely wight,
Regrets, too late, his earlier plan
And groans amid his wild delight
Il would were married mani"
And SO | come TO my advice
Now mark it well, oh, needless youth
| think you'll find it rather nice
And So you'll follow it, forsooth;
Do what you think il best to do;
Though very likely stung you'll be,
Remember there are others, too
And anyway, you can't blame me!

The late Cephas Brainerd, who died
in 1910, was, so far as is known, the
sole survivor in the last years of his
life of all those who had official rela-
ton with the reception of Abraham
Lincoln by the Young Republicans of
New York city in 1860. Mr.. Brainerd
was at that time only thirty years
of age, but ever since the Fremont
campaign in 1856 he had been active
ly associated with the Young Repub-
LEANS, not only of New York, but of
the United States
Mr. Brainerd was chosen chairman
of the reception committee whose
duty it was to make Mr. Lincoln
comfortable and to escort him to
Cooper Union, where he was an
nounced to deliver an address upon
the great questions of the day. That
address has passed into history as
the Cooper Union address. At the
time it was delivered, no one in New
York State dreamed that Lincoln
would be the Republican candidate
for President nominated at the Chi
cago convention, which was to take
place three months later But it was
thought by some of the Eastern Re-
publicans that he might be named as
party candidate for Vice President,
with William H. Seward at the head
of the ticket.
Many years after the Cooper Union
address was delivered ] had oppor-
tunity to chat with Mr.. Brainerd and
was able to obtain from him some de-
tails of Lincoln's appearance in New
York at that time which havepot been
made public, so far as l know.
although it was known in a gen.
eral way that Lincoln's address to the
young Republicans would be chiefly
confined to some of the historic and
moral aspects of the slavery ques-
ton" said Mr.. Brainerd, 'yet none OF
us was told by Lincoln anything re-
speeding his speech. He did inquire

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Lincoln Surprised His First New York Audience

ing how many that great cavern
would hold and whether it was good
place to speak in. He wanted to
know whether it was good hall from
the acoustic point of view.
after the address was finished, all
of those with whom | talked spoke
not only with admiration, but with
amazement, of the fact that Lincoln
had confined the address to a state
ment of what the understanding OF
those who drafted the Constitution
was respecting the slavery question.
The address seemed so full of history,
of the Constitutional conventions, and
every argument or line of thought
which Lincoln advanced was SO thor
oughly fortified by references to the
discussion at the convention of 1887
that it seemed to us that no man
could have had a more profound
knowledge of what that convention
said and did than Mr. Lincoln pos
sessed.
"The address was not exactly what
was expected, for we had heard much
of his colloquiai and his neighborly
manner of speaking when addressing
the citizens of Illinois. This Cooper
Union address we all recognized as
that of a scholar
Some years later-I think it was
shortly after General Grant became
PRESIDENT was telling a friend of
my impressions of Lincoln and his ad-
dress, when he told me remarkable
thing. He said that he had been told
by David Davis, who was a Justice of
the Supreme Court at Washington
and had been an intimate personal
and political friend of Lincoln, that in
tba ,,ray,a 20 tiop of this address Lin
coin consulted no other authority and
read no other work than those which
set forth the discussions at the Con-
stitutional convention of 1887. / think
it Is without precedent that an epoch
making address based upon historical
statement was ever before made after
cn,,s11lta finn with a single authoritY."

World" which created a stir four
years ago. is her most famous produc-
tion. This book has forced ITSELF,
through it's very cleverness, to the at
tention of men and women who had
never considered the feminist move

man attempts to show that the civili-
cation of the present time is the pro-
Duct of mans, not woman's, making,
and that present-day conceptions of
virtue, honor and nobility are based
purely upon man-made standards.
Mrs. Gilman hopes that in the future,
when women have assumed their
proper position in society, these
standards will be changed, and, in her
opinion, changed very much for the
better. The royal birthday celebrat-

Kitten Has Two Tails

John Grau, former Newarker who
has become a farmer in Iowa, writes
to friends here that he has kitten
with two tails. 1t is playful, he says,
and shows pleasure in the same way
as other kittens, "only twice as
much.' He explains this last remark
by pointing out that it has two tails
to wag to manifest its delight.
Incidentally, Mr.. Grau writes that
a neighboring farmer has a hen that
matches twin chicks as a regular
thing.

The Reckless Automobilist.

From the Waterbury American.
Don't you know better than to
step right in front of an automobile?
Why don't you look around a bit be-
fore getting off" This is what an
exasperated automobilist said when
he hauled up suddenly, haf-scared
to death by the narrow escape he
had from running over a man. But
that was the only place and the only
time the trolley passenger had to get
off The car stopped right in that
place for him to do it. If he hadn't
done it right at hat place and on
that very instant he would have been
carried on farther than his destina-
tion.
It is this point of view on the part
of the automobile driver which tries
popular patience. The man may have
been too much upset to know just
what he said, but he ought to know
that if he had obeyed the law and
slowed up on approaching a car
there would have been no danger to
anybody.
