Heart Beats
BY A. X.

The newspaper man
Is the after-plan
OF God
On the seventh day
OF creation.
He made strange types
Queen types and plain
Then thought to combine
Them all in to one
And fashion the
Newspaper man.
From dangers and hardships
He never shirks--
He's loyal at heart
And kind. ....,
Today he talks
With the president
Tomorrow a criminal-black-
He knows their virtues
. And knows their schemes
To cheat
Or perhaps to give.
He picks his friends
From the heart of men
Regardless of caste
Or bearing
He travels much
Is experience taught
Whimsical-moody
Restless soul
Ever suspicious
Yet ready to give
And take.
Rushing and risking
All-for scoop
Schooled in deft ways
T By contact
Remembering the past
Peering into the future
Is that wisely kind
Cynical newspaper man.
He holds calm
In every storm
He's the best execution
OF Gods queerest plan
He lives by seconds
Most men live by days.
His home is the world
-AAu iiiS ilSAtS
Unquestioned,
In newspaper land.
He's profane quite often
Alert-keen-congenial
And quick to decide
He lives and he loves
In vagabondish ways
That adorable unfathomable
Irresistible nomad
OF ncwspaperdom.
Bring on the saints
The miliionaires-
A knight or two
And a king
Offer me these
The choicest lot
And I'll turn from them
To the newspaper man.

Slould prove Tor every opera lover.
The young singer is much interested
in other things besides music. She is
great reader of American history,
She finds plenty of time to keep
up with current events. One of her
present day heroes is Ole Hansen,
mayor of Seattle. She never tires
reading about the staunch and
sturdy politician from the far west.
whose courageous action and sturdy
and fearless policy showed him to
be an American that every Amer
lean should not hesitate to doff his
hat.
The interesting career of Miss
Braslau is one that every Amer
ican with operate aspirations can
follow with pride and with profit.
She puts character in everything she
does. She is not ashamed to ac-
knowledge her humble beginnings,
and yet she came from family able
to give her the very best in life.
But such is the fate of the beginner,
and she accepted such fate with
graciousness and determination.
She won out through the same
school that belongs to all, and she
applied the same methods-hard
work, study, confidence and fair
ness. This is the only school, and
anyone who tries to follow another
road meets many bends and twists,
most of them leading to some
abyss from whence they never re-
turn to the straight and narrow
path. - \

 running boards. In addition to this
 grievance members of the general con- ] ference board of the seventeen loca unions of the. system said today that 1 there was dissatisfaction over some ! features of the wage classification il i the contract entered into with tht

BAY STATE FISHERMEN
 TO GO ON STRIKE JULY 3

Boston, June 20.-Five thousand fishermen out of this port and Glou- cester will go on strike July 3, ac- cording 10 a vote announced today by officials of the Fishermen's Union of the Atlantic. The result of balloting which had been in progress for sev- eral weeks was tabulated today and it Is said to have shown the sentiment three to one in favor of walkout.
 Chief among the demands of the men is the fixing of a minimum price of fresh fish. Their wages depend in a measure on the price which cargo brings in the market and with the in creased cost of ice and gear and the present low price of fish it is claimed the pay Is not enough to meet the high cost of living.
 Vessels which had left for the fish ing grounds before the result of the vote was announced will be permitted 10 dispose of their cargoes whenever they return 10 portsbut those leaving later in the day must be back on or be- fore the day set for the strike or theil cargoes will not be handled, leaders said.
