HAND OF LABOR

Hand of labor, hand of might
Be thou strong in things of right.
Master thou of crafts untold.
Driving them in heat and cold;
Working high and working low,
That the world may brighter grow,
Press, the loom. and traffic great,
Know the drive behind thy weight.
Hand of labor. rude and fine,
Things of earth are mostly thine.
Mines of gold and fields of wheat,
Harbors deep where pcnnants greet;
Ships of war, canals and locks,
Roads of steel and bridges, docks,
Strain thy sinews day and night,
Be thou strong in things of right.
Mills and shops in clanC and roar,
Foundry fires and molten ore;
Sullen mines and heavy seas,
Lands of rock and timber trees;
Cotton fields as white as snow,
FORCES black mid flames aglow,
Strain thy sinews day and night,
Be thou strong in things of right.
Hand Of labor, great thou art;
BE thou fair and bear thy part
Like big souls, sincere, intense;
Stoop not low to base offcnse,
Nor. in heat, forget than men,
Large and small, all kinds and ken,
Have their place and must remain
Meath the sway of guiding brain.

348th Holds
Score to Tie

Rain and a slippery field kept
all but two football teams OF the
inter-regimental series at Camp
Lewis from playing yesterdays
scheduled games. The only game
was between the 348th field ar
thlery and the 361st infantry.
The 34Sth was lighter than the
361st but managed to play a
clever defensive game and held
the heavier, faster eleven to a
6-6 tie.

kRCHER who RESCUED Drowning MAN,
IS ENTITLED TO CARNEGIE HERO MEDAL
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Victor Olmquist, the transient,
who yesterday about noon attempted
suicide by jumping from the old
Main street bridge into the river, was
this morning resting easily at the
Emmanuel hospital. He appeared to
be on the road to recovery, though
his mind was wandering. 1t was
hard for any of his attendants to get
any information out of him. His face
was scratched, and it was evident
that his head had struck against
something Whether he was merely
dilirious from the shock, or was real
ly a victim of mental arrangement
could not be ascertained at the time.
His talk was rather incoherent.
The man was reported at one time
to have said that he came from Du-
luth. At another time he said he was
from Minneapolis. He talked consid-
erably about Minneapolis. He spoke
of brother, John Olmquist, living in
Chicago, and also of sister, Mrs.
John S. Stromberg, whose address he
gave as 1884 Deversy park, Chicago
1t is hoped that after he has grown
better physically his mind will clear,
and he will be able to tell more about
himself.
Yesterday morning, man, whose
description, as remembered, seems to
correspond with the appearance of
the stranger, called at the local
Omaha roadmaster's office and asked
for work. He was told that he could
get a job, if he called the next day.
At the hospital Olmquist said he was
a miner by trade.
