The day of the strike has passed
50 far as the local railway clerks
union is concerned, according to the
sentiment expressed at the joint meet
ing of the local and the general chair
men of the shops federation at union

Speeches by T. c. Personnel, general
chairman of the carmen's union; by
G. j. Bollotte. general chairman OF
the blacksmiths; and by NJ. A. Moore,
general chairman of the railway
clerks union were the handwriting on
the wall of Topeka which says, "the
days of the strikes are numbered: the
strongholds of the strikers are given
over to the wolves of discord."
The statements of the three speak
ers were to the effect that brains and
not Drawn will be the means used by
the unions to gain their ends in dis
putes with employers. 1t will be a
struggle of wits, with tact and dipIo-
macy of the parties serving as weap-

The speakers also advocated a
closer relationship between the various
unions on the promise that closer as

from the radical elements and would
put it in the hands of conservatives

expression of sentiment was clean cut
and to the point as against strikes and

A PLEDGE
BY NELs YINGLE.

Naola. wearied with her book,
With hammock hung in shady nook,
With life in gay society,
With manners and propniety,
Sought shelter in the canon cool,
That she might learn in natures school
To know herself, of pretense shorn,
And feed Ler soul-as yet unborn.
She wandered thru pine scented shade.
Ger mountain crag, thru quiet glade.
And walked their fragrance for the breeze
Then passed beside the bubbling stream,
To watch its waters, and to dream:
The sunlight caught its splashing spray.
In sparkling gems which danced away;
The shadows turned its rocky pool
To secret chambers dark and cool
And as she fingered at its edge,
Naola made a solemn pledge =
To make her life so young and gay,
Like that swift stream upon its way;
To catch the sunlit jewels of life,
And toss them into toll and strife.
To brighten lives, which ever seem
Like shaded pools in life's dark stream;
To laugh and dance with joyous heart,
Into the live which have no part
In youths bright dreams of joy and mirth,
But heavy laden from their BIRTH
Struggle thru life, resentful. sore,
Till deaths kind hand has closed its door.
And as she dreamed, she saw forsooth,
Advancing toward her comely youth,
With arms extended. he bade her come,
Into his life, his love, his home;
I made this day at the waters edge?''
He answered with purpose sincere and true,
"Ill give my life for that pledge and you
And they wandered back thru the love lit
way.
Back to the world of every day.
Time has passed and the years have sped,
And she stands today by her children's bed
Dreaming again of the pledge she made,
By the mountain stream, in the cool sweet
shade:
But the world to which she has given all,
Is bordered around by a cottage wall
Where love and service walk side by side.
Thru sweet contentment and sorrows tide
With courage born of faith supreme.
She bridges the pools in lifes dark stream
And the sparkling gems from life's stream
of joys
She gives TO the world in her girls and
boys
I'll leave it to you, and who shall say,
She broke the pledge she made that day.

physicians at San Quentin prison to-
day received an offer of $4,000 from
a business man if they would transfer
to him the interstitial glands of An

But the glands are not for sale.
A physician of the San Francisco
bay district also has asked that the
operation be performed on him, but
even professional courtesy cannot
break the prison rules.
Vigor that money cannot buy will
be transferred by the doctors to the
poorest specimen of manhood they can
find in the prison-a man without
money and without friends, who has
been rejected by society.
Hundreds of letters have been re-
ceived by the doctors from men who
want the, glands These letters come
from all parts of the United States. In
each case the doctors reply that the
operation can be performed only upon
inmates of the prison.
