ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The Twins found letter from the
Fairy Queen one morning under
tfeir porridge dishes on the break
fast table. Or rather Nancy found
it under hers, for, of course, let.
ter cannot be under two porridge
dishes at once.
The letter said:
Dear Twins:
Mother Goose and Daddy Camden
asked me to send you word that they
have invited the Riddle Lady 10
Mother Goose Land to spend few
days.
She is going to stay at Mrs.
Johns house, or rather, ut the
house-That-Jack-Built, for it's the
same thing. Mrs. John, being Jack
and Jill's mother, people call it
Mrs. Johns, you know.
Everybody in Mother Goose Land
loves the Riddle Lady because they
have so much fun when she is there.
Every day she asks Il riddle and
gives a prize to the person who
guesses the answer first.
Mrs. John will serve tea and
cakes, or maybe cider and dough-
nuts, and l am sure everybody would
be very glad to have you. Put on
the magic shoes you will find hid
den behind the umbrella stand, and
then wish yourselves up on the roof.
Daddy Gander will be waiting for
you with his magic dust-pan.
81 hone that you all have very
good time.
'Lovingfy yours,
1.-THE Fairy Queen"
"Oh, goody!" cried Nancy.
"Hooray!" shouted Nick.
"What's all the fuss about asked
Cook coming in from the kitchen.
When your Mothers away, don I
see how you can be SO happy"
"Oh, but we're going away, too. -
said Nick.
"Sh!' whispered Nancy.
whats that?" cried Cook. And
where are you going, Id like to
know"
"Oh, just out to play said Nick.
My sakes!" said Cook. THE way
you two do gallivant around out
doors is the queerest thing! Gone all
DAY sometimes! And always talking
about fairies and brownies and
things!"
But She went away still talking to
herself about never knowing what
children were up to nowadays. No
sooner had her apron strings disap.
ptared aroun0 the corner of the
kitchen door than the Twins slipped
down from their places and flew out
t. the hall.
And there, just as the note had
said, We're the tiny shoes tucked be-
hind the umbrella stand.
The Twins slipped them on and
making wish found themselves in
stantly on top of their own roof.
But was it their roof?
No, it couldn't be!-their root
didn't have flowers and trees grow
ing on it and a brook tinkling merri-
ly along between messy banks.
"Ha! ha, hal" roared merry
voice. What makes you look so
surprised? You'd think you'd never
been to Mother Goose Land before!"
There stood fat, dear, old Daddy
Gander, his magic dust-pan tucked
under his arm. He laid it down and
said charm and instantly it spread
out like floor. i" Jump on" he
said. "They are waiting for US on
Pippin Hill"

For the pal, who's no more by your side?
Dear friends do not be heavy hearted,
Remember: THE Lord will provide"

TIL 1t seems that you can't make enua meet?
DO You envy the friend more successful
When You happen to pass on the street?
Do you long for rich jewels and laces,
And feel you're a pawn on Fate's tide,
Dear friend, do not feel discouraged )
Remember: "The Lord will provide"
The Lord will provide, and protect us. I'll
II only we trust in His word;
His ways may seem strange to his chosen
And bite like twO-eGEed sword;
Tho dark be the outlook, and cheerless
And tho you have been sOrely tried
God never fOrgets his dear children
Remember: THE Lord will provide
The persons you envy have troubles
Not one but some grief could confess
And the man who has gold but is friendlessT

men had been locked out in an at
tempt Of the bosses to break the
union. The bakers unanimously
pledged to stand solidly together until

The strike and lockout, which cen
tiers around the Douglas Park district,
includes the White Palace bakery,
which is one of the most reactionary
establishments in town.
Daily Forward Had Scab Ad.
1t was declared in a speech by one
Of the members at the strike meeting
that the Jewish Daily Forward, yel-
low Socialist journal, carried a front
page ad for men to work in the bake
shop at 1908 South Kedzie Ave. The
union member said: This bakeshop
is supposed to be union, but is well
known as a scab shop"
A strike committee OF seven was
elected, and the union will establish
headquarters at 3420 West Roosevelt
Rd., which will be kept open from 10
a. m. until D. m.

Sentiment towards the National
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Con-
vention to be held, in this city
on June 18th, was given a big
push forward by the action of
the Minnesota legislative COM
nittee of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers at their
recent meeting here.
Representatives of the twenty
six divisions of the order in this
state unanimously endorsed the
June 18th convention and criti-
cized Labor" the organ of the
railroad workers published in
Washington, d. c., for attack
ing it.
Speaking for the committee, Chair
man Ralph Davis said: 1--WE regret
that this matter has been injected into
the campaign and we would like to
have it dropped now. We admit that
Labor struck first, and we can't
blame those who are working for the
success Of the June 18th convention
IN defending themselves from the at
tack. If the paper did not have any
thing good to say about the conven-
ton, then it should have said nothing.
We want to show the Federation
(meaning the Farmer-Labor Fedora
ton of Minnesota) and the Farmer
Labor movement that the Engineers
are for it by our continued support"

ENEMY ORDER
Convention Closes Nth
Rank and File Victory

PEORIA, H., May 26.-The
convention of the illinois Mine
Workers adjourned today after
giving Frank harrington two
decisive defeats on the appoin-
tive power and administering a
beating to Harrington on the
question of the ku KIux Khan.
The convention again went on
record against admittance of
miners into the union who be-
long to the Khan, in spite of Far
rington's plea. Harrington
pleaded with the delegates not
to discuss such a delicate sub
ject on the floor, claiming it
would do no good.
The convention today decisively
passed resolution No. Z, of the resolu-
tions on constitutional changes, which
again robs Harrington of his appoint
i've power. This resolution passed with
a substantial majority, over the vigor-
Gus opposition of the Harrington ma
chine.
Delegate Joe Tumulty tried to ex-
pose to the convention how the pres
ent election laws allow elections to be
stolen by the Harrington machine.
harrington ruled Tumulty out of order
in an attempt to prevent exposure Of
his election methods.
