Then he turned salesman and sold
all his butter, realizing enough to

An Old Valentine.

When slumber first uncloudS my brain
And thoughte is free
And sense refreshed, reneWs her reigne,
/ think of thee.
When next in prayer to God above
l bende my knee,
Then, when I pray for those love,
! pray for thee.
And when the duties Of the day
Demand of me
To rise and journey on lifes way
| work for thee.
Or if, perchance, I sing some lay,
Whate'er it be,
All that the idle verses say
They say of thee.
For if an eye whose liquid light
Cleans like the sea
They sing, or tresses brown and bright,
They sing of thee.
And if, a wearie mood, or sad,
Possesses me
One thought can all times make me glad
The thought of thee.
And when once more upon my bed,
Full YEARLY,
In sweet repose I lay my head,
dream of thee.
In short, one only wish I have
TO live for thee,
Or gladly, if one pang twould save,
I'd die for thee.

GARRIcKs MOBILE FACE.
Its Varying Expressions Put Gains
borough In Fit of Temper.

at an entertainment at which Gains
borough and the famous actor David
Garrick were present an ardent ad-
mirer of the great artist declared, ac-
cording to "Bibliothek der Unterhal-
tung und des Wissens," that Gains
borough had never failed to take per-
sons likeness In a portrait, no matter
how difficult the subject might be.
Garrick thereupon asserted that Gains
borough could not paint his likeness
and begged to be allowed to sit for his
portrait. Gainsborough, pleased at the
commission and expecting to find 1t
very Interesting to paint the actors
expressive countenance, gladly con-
sented. Garrick then made a secret
wager with the artists friends that he
could prove to them that there was
one face at least that Gainsborough
could not>paint.
The results OF the first sitting were
very satisfactory to the complacent
artist. At the second sitting, however,
Gainsborough was made uncomfortable
and nervous at finding 1t necessary to
make several alterations in his work.
At the third sitting his displeasure be
came extreme when, on comparing the
half completed work with Garricks
face, he saw that the two bore so little
resemblance to each other that the
portrait had almost to be repainted
When Garrick appeared for the fourth
time, with the most innocent express
sion imaginable, and begged the paint
er to begin work Gainsborough, thor
oughly angry, broke OUT
"Iye no use for you! You can ape
thousands OF faces and never have one
of your own!
Smiling, Garrick left the studio to
announce to the artists friends that he

WHAT MINE WORKERS WON.
For the First Time In its History the
Union Was Recognized.

For the First Time In lts History the
Union Was Recognized.
The recognition OF the United Mine
Workers In the anthracite coal district
Is one of the greatest victories that
organized labor ever secured and
grand compliment to the ability of
John 2. White, president of that union.
In a published statement President
White says for the first time In the
history of the anthracite coal industry
the great financial interests that con
troll 1t have formally recognized the
United Mine Workers of America.
The hours of 10000 men are reduced
from nine to eight, and the shorter
workday is established for all time in
the anthracite field Contract miners,
already the highest paid men in the
field, receive per cent increase. while
the 10000 day men get per cent
increase in addition to the same pay
for eight hours formerly received for
nine hours. Figured on an hourly
basis, this is equivalent to a 1872 per
cent increase
Even more important in its final eff
feet is the recognition accorded for the
first time to the United Mine Workers
of America. The agreement is signed
in the name of that organization, where
in previous years the operators refused
to admit that it had any existence The
fight Of fourteen years to establish real
collective bargaining in the anthracite
field Is won at last, and the operators
have abandoned for all time the theory
that they and they alone have anything
to say about wages and working condi-
tions
During the negotiations there was a
striking demonstration of the power of
strong union to wiring q square deal
from newspapers and the business com
munity. The United Mine Workers
had the respect, good viii and support
of practically every element in the an
thracite district. with its nearly 1000
COO population. Leading papers Of
Wilkesbarre, Scranton and other big
towns in the district urged union rec
ognition and condemned the operators
for rejecting the demands, thus con
tribut1ng to The FINAL favorable result
Following the victories gained by the
United Mine Workers in both the btu
minous and anthracite field, this great
organization Is assured Of still further
growth In numbers and power and is
today immeasurably stronger than ever
before.-Typogtaph Journal
