To "The st. Paul Echo:
After a careful consideration of
the effect the B. of S. c. P. Union
would have on the employees and
thinking the subject over and over:
The more 1 think of it the less I
think of it, because when some walk
ing delegate begins to call you Broth
er and it's Brother this and Brother
that, and Brother so and so, it is
time to make sure that the rubber
band has not slipped off your pocket
book. And going back to the Broth
erhood of Cain and Abel and Broth
erhood of Jacob and Esau, these
Brotherhoods seem to fatten one
Brother only and I don't like to put
my destiny in the hands of one man.
Now boys of course we might all
join up with the B. of S. c. P. and
perhaps at the dictation of one man
be ordered out on strike and we
might keep up the fight for two or
three years, but you all know where
we would land-nowhere. We would
lose our jobs, forfeit our seniority,
our pension rights and our free in
surance and get nothing after chas-
ing two or three years after a rain
bow painted by an outsider who
knows no more about sleeping car
business than I know about running
Socialist magazine.
Or, on the other hand we might
continue to uphold our Plan of En-
ployee Representation, get direct
contact with the management rath-
er than through third party and
get immediate consideration of our
requests.
We are accused of joining every
thing that comes along, of being
easily hoodwinked and swindled out
of our money by professional con
men, but let us for once cease buying
gold Bricks" manufactured and
plated in New York and show that
we cannot always be led astray.
Abraham Lincoln said, "You can
fool all of the people some of the
time, and some of the people all of
the time, but you cannot fool all of
the people all of the time"
We have been fooled before by
these so-called Brotherhoods which
sought to separate us from our
money in the way of collecting in
itiation fees, monthly dues, special
assessments and passing the hat on
every occasion. Let us stop buying
wooden nutmegs, they are not diges-
tible.
In conclusion 1 wish to state that
I am so thoroughly convinced of the
sinister effect this organization will
work upon the men that if every
porter Joined, would stand alone on
the outside of the organization.
In all sincerity.
Yours truly,
T. H. Gibson, Porter,

pertinent attempt to mold his life
so that twenty-five years hence, II

young manhood, a standard by
which parents of the future may

1t goes without saying that the

Any student Of human nature
willconfess the deficiency which sur
rounds the activity of human agen-

has been subjected during the
formative period of his life to ques-
tionable environment. If parents
could be brought to appreciate how
important it is to center their at
tention upon individual lives and
make it matter of conscience to
direct child thought along proper
and useful lines, much of the diff
culties with the law which men and
women in their more mature years
encounter would be obviated.

New York, May GA group Of
forlorn men in Bryant Park watch a
sparrow pick up crumbs and frag-
ments Of peanuts and fly to its nest.
The nest is tucked away under the
ties of the Sixth avenue elevated
line.
TFains rush by, just few feet
above the nest, like great yellow
juggernauts, screening, grinding and
roaring. In the tumult below there
are rafting street cars and thousands
Of taxis with their terrifying sirens.
The men with empty pockets and
threadbare ,clothing stand there
watching the miracle of life under
the ties, watching the parent feed
it's young.
One wonders whether they are
comparing their own lot with that of
the sparrows. For some of them in
all probability will return home at
night, with nothing with which to
feed their young. That human life
begins and persists in this teening
city is a greater miracle than that
Of the birds nesting in the elevated
ties.

don't know when 1 shall take it
out again. I have closed the first
book of my life, which has been
passed in Albany. All that l have
written to you, all my thoughts, all
my problems, all my hopes and fears,
all my joys and sorrows; in fact, all
the first years of my married life,
am putting away. l am starting
on new path which promises to be
one very different from the last.
Have learned anything from the
last four years? ] don't known. 1t
almost seems to me that I am just
as much creature of moods and
of little jealousies and
trivial prejudices as ! always have
been.
There is. however. one thing that
l have learned, little Marquise, and
learned thoroughly. Love does not
change character. Character is
something of slow growth. Character
can be changed no more by love
than it can be changed by religion.

ing more tolerant, and am almost

am an old married woman now
with two children. I have passed
out of the romance of marriage long
ago. In fact, my romance was shat
tered early and have found that
life is very different from that Of
which I dreamed. l am leaving this
place where the beginning of my
married life was spent. seeking not
thrills. not passionate love, not even
great love, but contentment.
