JOB PRINTERS UNITE
An Informal Organization Formed
$751; That Works We'll.

One day the Typographical Union
decided that it wanted more money
for it's members and a committee was
appointed to confer with the proprie-
tors of some of the printing esta b.
lishments. The employers and printers
held an amicable meeting and scale
was arranged that was satisfactory to
the union.
Meantime, the employers who had
been present at the meeting, Frank
Crane, Guy Morse, George NJ Craw-
ford and Charles P. Adams, found
that they knew one another but slight
ly and were surprised to learn that the
other fellows did not have horns.
Another Meeting.
1t was decided that they should
meet another day at the National hotel
and eat dinner. A call was sent to
men accepted with alacrity and all
were surprised. They found that all
were pretty decent fellows and an
other meeting was decided upon
Again and again the dose was re-
peated until every office which en-
ployS a printer was represented.
One day, some one mentioned some
thing about fixing prices, but years
go combination was in force and a
burned child never plays with a stove
lid. Yet, the dinners were continued
and proved enjoyable.
/. frte- Tab on Dead Beats"
At one of these dinners someone
bewaiIed the fact that the printers
were obliged to conduct their bust
ness on a pay-after-you- get-the-goods
basis. 1t was suggested that some
thing be done to remedy this state of
affairs AS a result each printer
brought in the names of those men
who had failed to pay.
Now every printer in the city has a
list of the fellows in arrears and he
may do as he p1easeS about extending
credit to the delinquent. And the
meetings continued
Trade at Home.
It was discovered at another meet
ing that a large amount of printing
was being sent out of the city and a
discussion resulted which ended when
the printers passed a resolution to
patronize those who returned the COM
pliment There is no specific organ
ization, no bylaws, no constitution, no
rules of order. The meetings are en-
tirely informal and are usually held
at the Commercial club. Those who
attend the meetings are: w. r. Smith,
state printer; Adams Bros, w E
Cain, Shawnee Chief; Harrison Clark
son, Crane & Company; F. L. Evarts
Hall Lithographing company; H NJ

Blossoms That Bees Love.

A person who has had no experience
with bees commonly makes the mis-
take Of supposing that the roses, peo-
mics, sweet peas. dahlias or other
gaudy blossoms Of his garden will fur
nish q quantity Of honey. Their value
is almost negligible, except that some
OF them yield little pollen. Il Is to
the modest white clover In the orchard
or ON the roadside or the weeds Of
pasture or woodlot or the blossoms Of
trees like the Eastwood that the bees
go for the, bulk of their honey. 1t
does not pay to cultivate any plant for
its value as a honey producer. The
orchard Is splendid place for the
apiary, where the bees can build up
on the first nectar in the spring, and
the blossoms have the benefit of the
bees visits.-John w. Love I'm Coun-

INSECT MARvELS.

These Tireless Creatures Are Built For
the Strenuous Life.
Many interesting facts, the result Of
long study, are given by Mr.. Harold
Bastin, an eminent entomolOgist, In
his book, Insects. Their Life Histo-
ries and Habits"
Contrary to popular belief, spiders
are not insects. Insects have six legs,
neither more nor less, and another pc
culiarity of the insect is that it has
wings-sometimes two, more often
four. Spiders have eight legs and no
wings; therefore spiders are not In
sects.
insects have no backbones and no
skeletons, but skins with a hard, dura-
BILE surface called chitin, which makes
up light shell Of armor that forms
the outside of the body, to the inside
of which the muscles are attached. In
sects do not breathe through their
mouths, but through holes In the bod
les called spiracleS. Insects have mel
their veins nor arteries; the blood is
pumped directly from the chambered
heart into the body cavity. where It
bathes and nourishes the organs. In
sects have wonderful and enviable di-
gestive organs and feed upon and d.
gest almost any substance from which
nourishment may be extracted.
Because of the way they are built,
insects are particularly fitted for the
strenuous life. and a tired insect is a
thing unknown. They are always busy
travelling, buzzlng. biting or seeking
some work to do"

There was a case In which dagger

hairs caught entangled In nick of
the blade. He explained this by say
ing that he had used the dagger to kill
a rabbit that he had found trapped In
a hedge. The authorities reported to
the police, after an examination of the
dagger, that the hairs were not of hui
man origin, but they also added they
were not rabbit hairs; they were
squirrel hairs.
The police were extremely puzzled
until they finally discovered that on
the night of the homicide the prisoner
had worn great coat trimmed with

If You Are mot Very
WE'LL"

Perhaps you are thinking too
much about yourself. You can't
be well if you do that. Try
turning yourcc::thought outward
instead of inward. Look up
and not down; look out and not
in, and lend a hand" ITO lend
a hand" is half the battle. Make
yourself interested in other peo-
Piles interests. Make yourself
help in their difficulties. Make
yourself remember what pleases
them and interests them and
matters to them. The worse
your own worries or troubles or
crosses, the more necessary it is
that you should force your
thoughts out of their inward
trend. Do it for a week, and see
if you aren't better.
Perhaps you eat too many
sweets or eat them between
meals. Nobody can do that with
impunity. You may for a little
while, but you can't for long.
Try the experiment. Eat no
sweets-and nothing whatever
between meals for a week. If
you feel more fit at the end of
the week than at the beginning,
you will know that you have
taken the right turning.
Perhaps you are letting your
mind dwell on grievances. great
or small. Nothing is more harm
full. Broodjng over grievances
ruins the health, drives away
happiness, makes success in al
most any walk of life almost i'm
possible. No grievance, howev-
er real, can be so bad for you as

New Jersey Revolt.

The Progressive Party of New
Jersey, as represented by its
State Committee, refused to in
dorse the candidacy of Charles
E. Hughen, although a strong
effort had been put forth by
Everett Colby, a pioneer Pro-
gressive of the State, to swing
the committee that way.
When the meeting of the
State ECommittee was held in
Newark, July IS, ]. A, H. Hop
kins, Chairman, led the fight
against endorsing Mr.. Hughes.
A resolution was submitted by
VIM. E. Conkling, of Blairstown,
reciting that the delegates to the
National Convention at Chicago
had exceeded their authority by
endorsing the candidate Of an
other party. The resolution
further said:
Resolved, by the New Jersey
State Committee, That the Pro-
gressiye Party of New Jersey
will not be bound by the action
of the National Committee in
indorsing Mr.. Hughes candida
cy."
This resolution was carried by
a vote of Z to 5.
Chairman Hopkins read to the
Committee a letter he had writ
ten to Col. Roosevelt ecalling
that the Colonel once had ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr..
Hughes might perhaps turn out
tc be another gold brick. |"
