ODD FISH FROM THE DEPTHS
Strange Marine Forme Brought Up
With Deep Sea Cable Sunk
for Ten Yeare.
Strange monsters the like of which
bare seldom been seen by man were
dragged from a depth of 8,500 feet by
the crew of the cable ship Burnslde
when they repaired the Alaska cable
off Mt. St. Ellas last montb.
The Burnslde Is moored at Us buoy
1n Elliott bay after two months of re
pairing and relaying the cables of the
U. S. army signal corps system. On
board were a score of huge flasks
filled with alcohol. In them floated
strange shapes which It was hard to
believe were once living creatures.
Balls of red hair which looked
like tousled human heads proved upon
dlsflectlon to be a strange kind of deep
water crab. Flesh colored round
masses were found clinging to the
cable by minute tentacles. One crea
ture was shaped like the diablo toy,
narrow In the middle with big con
cave white disks at either end by
which It catches hold of any object.
Another strange marine creature in
shaped like an octopus but has at
least two dozen tentncles Instead of
eight. Many octopuses were found
clinging to the cable, but they were
thought too common to preserve.
While sections of the cable pulled
up for Inspection were found covered
several foet deep with strange plants
and animal life, seaweed, black In
stead of green, sponges and sea
urchins predominated.
Prebably the- strangest creature
found on tho cable was a flesh colored
fish not more than four feot long,
which was tonne, orvtloprd In tie
tenUicln of a young octopus. When
brought to the surface Its body was
swollen liko a balloon. Dr. J. E. Mnl
ney, tho ship's surgeon, who exam
ined It, snid he believed the fish was
choked by the hold of the octopus.
The section of cable upon which all
this strange life was found had been
down 10 years at a depth of a mile
and a half. The specimens which
have been preserved are to be handed
over to the Smithsonian Institution
for scientific study. Seattle Post-In-telllgencer.

They couldn't harness the preachers

A Strong Preacher.
The minister's eight-year-old daugh
ter was returning with her parents
from church, where the district super
intendent bad tha. morning occupied
the pulpit.
"Oh, father," asked the little girl,
her face alive with enthusiasm, "don't
you think Brother C. Is a very strong
preacher? I do."
Gratified by this evidence of un
usual intelligence on the part of his
offspring, the minister eagerly In
quired Into her reasons for her state
ment. "Oh," replied the little miss, artless
ly, "didn't you see how the dust rose
when he stamped his feet?" Judge.
There is seldom a day passes but
somewhere In our country from one to
a score of our fellow men are assault
ed or murdered by members of this
band.
Then remember the homes blown
up or burned. The families hounded,
the rioting, burning of street cars,
wrecking of trains and attempted or
successful killing of passengers.
The general disturbance of industry
and the thousands of dollars forced
from tax payers to pay extra police,
sheriffs and militia to protect, even In
a feeble way, the citizens from the
mobs of members of the American
Federation of Labor.
Then you will realize why the great
peace-loving majority of over 80 mil
lion Americans protest against the
growth of this crime-tainted organiza
tion comprising perhaps one and one
half million 'men, of which it is esti
mated at least seven-tenths are peace
loving citizens and are members by
coercion and are not in sympathy with
the three-tenths who have gained con
trol and force their methods.
We find that a few designing men
have seized control of the American
Federation of Labor,, Just as some
shrewd capitalists have secured con
trol of some railroads and other In
terests and are now twisting and turn
ing them into machines for personal
profit and fame.
These men cunningly plan to force
workmen to Join and pay 25 to 75
cents a month In fees.
Various methods are used to "in
duce" workmen to Join.
First, they talk of the "tyranny of
capital" making slaves of workmen.
Then they work up enthusiasm
about the "brotherhood of man" and
other talk which experience has
shown excites the emotions of work
men and they are Induced to Join and
pay fees to the leaders.
The 50O0 workmen In Battle Creek
are, as a rule, free from the dictates
of the great Labor Trust and still get
the highest wages in Michigan. If
they had yielded to the smooth talk
of the agents of the trust and Joined,
they would pay In fees from $1250.00
to $2000.00 a month to the big trust
and be subject to strike orders any
time.
Now they save that and put the
money Into homes and family com
forts But the managers of the American
Federation of Labor have worked
hard and long to harness them.
The trust has sent small bales of
money and last winter 18 "organizers"
to tie up Battle Creek. They hired
halls, gave picture shows, smokers,
etc., as an investment, looking to rich
returns when they succeeded in hav
ing them tied hand and foot.
But they failed and the last of
these "organizers" left Battle Creek
on May 1st saying "it's no use."
Tlw workmen knew the record of
this great trust and formed their own
association to protect their rights and
also to protect them from tho big
Labor Trust.
In Philadelphia some 4000 indepen
dent street car men, who mainly had
families, had their own union and re
fused to Join the big trust, preferring
to he free to work or not as they
pleased.
But tho trust planned to force them
Into the fee-paying ranks, so a strike
wan ordered to compel the traction
company to kick out these men and
hire only Labor Trust members.
It was not a question of wages or
hours but to push the free men out of
their positions where they were earn
ing good money to support their fami
lies. Tho strike was ordered, not to
raise wages or reduce hours, remem
ber, but solely to throw out members
of an independent union and make

The Counterfeit Southerner.
Of course, there are many counter
feits. A most amusing imitation Is
one that often passes for the typical
southerner In New York. This satchel
mouthed braggart Infests the cafes
and demands attention by his abusing
the waiter for offending his delicate
sense of honor. "I hate a nigger, suh,"
he loudly proclaims, which is a senti
ment that one never hears from those
to the manner born. Ha haunts the
theaters and parades the streets, since
It Is poor fun to practise his gentility
In private.
He wears a wide black hnt, mounts
the table and yells whenever the band
plays a southern melody. Such a pre
tentious caricature would be harmless
enough, but for the ridicule he brings
upon the south. Unfortunately, popu
lar authors seem to accept him at face
each morning! It's meat and bread
to their souls.
Then think of the lordly power, and
don't forget the steady flow of money
squeezed from the workman's hard
earned pay enevelope.
But when these leaders "tie up" any
industry no man can hold a Job who
refuses to pay fines even oa trumped
up charges, and steadily pay fees
whatever they are.
The workman is absolutely at the
mercy of this band of men who have
secured and hold control.
Many and many an honest workman
has raised his voice and appealed to
bis fellows to rise and throw off the
yoke of Gompers, et al. But, as one
wrliAjs, "At every convention of the
American Federation of Labor, strong
opposition comes up but at the crit
ical moment the impassioned orator
appears and most dramatically puts
the spot light on the leader and covers
him with a mawkish film of 'martyr
dom' and the emotional delegates yell
in delight, forgetting the instructions
of the peaceful workingmen at home
who desire to-free themselves from
the odium of membership under the
great advocates of strike, boycott, vio
lence and hate."
So we see the unequalled Insolence
with which these trust leaders pro
pose to "induce" ministers to pull
their chestnuts from the fire by
preaching modern aggressive and vio
lent labor trust methods.
There is a better way to secure Jus
tice for workers, as will appear furth
er along.
Just a little diversion here.
I am charged with having first
brought to the attention of tho public
some years ago, the naire "Labor
Trust."
A trust Is a combination of men or
organizations for the purpose of sell
ing their product at a profit and re
stricting production to effect it.
We will say a large Oil Company
gathers In smaller ones and thus con
trols production.
The Labor Trust "gathers in" local
trade organizations and thus has pow
er to say how much work each man
shall do.
The OH Company then fixes prices.
The Labor Trust does likewise.
The Oil Company may "use meth
ods" to force an unwilling dealer to
Join.
The Labor Trust men go further
and slug the Independent man if he
tries to sell his labor without paying
fees and "obeying orders." They are
ooth exactly alike In purpose, which,
In both cases is entirely Helflsh to
gain power and money for the leaders.
Certain Labor Trust members do
not hesitate to use violence, dyna
miting of property, burning homes of
Independent men and even murder to
force obed&nce.
. The Oil Company doesn't go so far.
Both are extremely dangerous to
the welfare of people and communi
ties, for power placed in the hands
of a few men either representing Cap
ital or Labor Is almost always abused
anu the public suffers.
Remember, reader, that your safety
lies In strenuous opposition to all
trusts which try to ride over and dic

By C. W. JENNINGS.
O the average man the
banker Is Is a thing apart,
a sort of superior crea
ture who moves on an
other plane always garbed
in apparent richness, with
a look of prosperity, self-possessed,
6hrewd, able. Tho rest of us simply
look up to him, that's all.
And so the boy looks up to the
bank messenger or the bank clerk
the one that comes out of the forbid
ding portals, with a black package or
a satchel in his hand and an air of
aloofness that makes the envious
youthful observer sort of gasp.
And yet that same banker and his
messenger are not so far above us,
after all. They are not different; it is
w that are different we have clothed
them In an atmosphere somewhat like
that which we draped 'round the man
that wore a silk hat and a frock coat
when we were ten or twelve and lived
in the country or a small town.
Anybody can be a banker! Your
boy la an ordinary boy, say, of thir
teen to fifteen, and you have dreamed
dreams about his future, and, Bome-
how, you have wondered If no, he
could never be a banker a banker
Is so far out of ybnr comprehension.
So you dismiss banking and banker
from your calculations, and decide
that the youngster shall be a civil en
gineer, or a school teacher, or take
a Job as helper to the family grocer,
or something.
But If both you and your boy hnve
the right kind of nerve, you hold a
brief talk with him andthen he goes
off tremblingly to ask the minister of
the church where his mother attends
and he goes to Sunday school for a
letter telling what a fine, honorable,
ambitious young fellow he Is, and
how he is bound to succeed In any
thing he attempts. Then he gots an
other from the family doctor, and one
or two from the wise men he has seen
with his father then he goes to the
bank itself.
And once there? Well, he finds
that It Isn't so hard to get a Job after
all. That same aloofness that seems
to surround the banKer has apparent
ly kept the boys from applying for a
Job there, as it has the ordinary
grown-up individual from keeping his
hat on when he enters the impressive
doorway. The cashier of a prominent
metropolitan bank expressed to me
the other day his wonderment that his
Institution couldn't get enough boys.
They don't pay much at the start,
of course only $15 or so a month
(we're talking of big city banks), but
this is to a boy of thirteen to fifteen,
and after a year managing a feather
duBter, or pushing the lever of a coin
counting machine, or running errands,
he gets $25 to $30. Then he must have
a bond, because he Is a messenger,
and goes out collecting drafts and
checks on other banks, etc.; but the
bank furnishes this, and there is no
bother about it at all.
Then, after two years or so, he is
assistant or head messenger, and may
get as much as $125 a month. And
'rom there, if he is bright enough to
work out of the -messenger rut and
the average boy Is he goes into the
receiving teller's cage, or the book
keeping department, or the discount,
or the collecting, and gets, not $125 a
month, but only $C0 or $80 a month.
Quite a drop In salary, It is true, but
the ambitious boy will make this tem
porary monetary sncrlfice and you
will encourage him to do So that he
may not remain a messenger all his
life, but will open up before hlra an
occupational vista that has at Its end
a bank president's chair.
His next step, maybe, Is receiving
teller Itself, when he will be paid
sometimes as much as $2,500 a yenr,
or as assistant In the paying teller's
booth at as much salary (the paying
teller gets more than the receiving),
and on as paying teller, then assistant
cashier, then cashier, then vice-president,
or president, or anytnlng as big
as the young banker has in him. -
If your boy has a position as teller
by the time he Is thirty, he has gone
on pretty fast but not more than a
fairly bright young man ought to and
by five years later, or, at the most,
when he Is forty, ho Is sure to bo well
along and highly regarded In business
circles. Cashier at thirty five; salary
$0,000 up (referring to large city
banks); a big man this Is not at all
remarkable, for the ambitious boy can
surely get there. From there on on
la simply realizing the alms he hat
formed In the meantime, through his
own Initiative and your encourage
ment The average boy of thirteen to If
teen has education enough to sttrt
him; but. If you and your boy plan
on banking for his career, he should
have striven a little harder than the
usual lad to get hold of arithmetic
Addition and subtraction and multi
plication and division they count, and
count big, In banking, and the young
fellow that can figure and knows
ground work of arithmetic pretty well
has a great advantage over the others.
Bankers cc,mplain bitterly over the
difficulty of finding boys that earn
readily compute the simplest sum
and do figuring that a schoolboy of
twelve ought to achieve without diffi
culty.
When your boy seeks his first Job
he should rail on the prospective em
ployer himself, and not send a letter
of application, written and rewritten
the night before, and altered and ap
proved by all the members of the
family, till all the originality is taken
out of it For the banr.er will learn
all he wishes to know, and he can
soon discover In a little talk If the boy
Is fundamentally honest and la bright.
After the boy has been Inquisition
ed and finally gets his Job it's up to
him.
If he observes and asks questions (of
his associates and friends; not of his
employer), and spends lils spare time
reading and studying the things he
finds are needed In banking business
generally, his promotion Is as sure as
life. (It Is unnecessary to say that he
must be honest; for that Is requisite
to advancement In any employment).
And he will bo a big man in the
community as bankers always are.
If he has ambition for society, or the
chamber of commerce, or to partici
pate In the substantial development
of the city, and to be on important
committees, to be consulted by the
city fathers when they are consider
ing grave problems, to have his opin
ions on commerce and the times and
tho welfare of the city quoted in the
newspapers, to be sought by the
churches, and to be one of the lead
ers la every public enterprise In
short, to be looked upon as one of the
pillars, the solid, important men where
ho resides if be has this laudable am
bition, he could not attain it, short of
something; out of the ordinary or
sheer luck, anywhere more quickly
man ir ne should become a banker.
Hia financial future, of course, Is as
sured; for. If he Is In earnest, his Job
Is safer than In any other of the usual
lines of endeavor, and his earnings
and the very atmosphere of his calling
Insure him a well-kept old age. Who
ever heard of & banker In the poor
house? If he wishes to become widely In
terested In public affairs, the entire
gamut of ambition is open to him; for
his reputation is already made and he
will be sought. When there Is a popu
lar protest against abuse of public
affairs and a loud call for a "business
administration.", the way for the bank
er la clear, and he can be alderman
(and, of course, chairman of the
finance committee in the city govern
ment), or mayor and it is not so far
to the president's cabinet as secretary
of the treasury, or to the United
Mates senate, or to other high gov
ernment place.
And all this is open to the ordinary
bright boy.

FRESHNESS WELL REWARDED
Lad Who Had His Father Arrested
for Assault Got Judgment for
Double Dose,
In the effort to make the youth of
today self-reliant, the bounds of wis
dom and good sense are often over
stepped, and a possibility of power
put Into hands not competent to use
it. A spirit of reverence for older
Judgment Is more to be desired than
Is the assurance of self-confidence.
It Is gratifying to read, in Thomas
Holmes' "Pictures and Problems of
the London Police Courts," of a case
where "freshness" met with a suit
able reward.
"Please, sir, I want a summons."
It was application time, and the
speaker in the witness-box was a
twelve-year-old boy, well-dressed in an
Eton suit and an immaculate collar.
"Whom do you wish it against?"
asked the Judge.
"My father, sir."
"What has your father done?"
"He has assaulted me."
"That was very wrong. Why did
he do It?"
"Please, sir, he said I bad been rude
to my sister."
"Yes, you can take out a summons.
It will be two shillings."
"Please, sir, I am under twelve.
Can't I have one at half-price? I have
only one shilling."
"No, my little man, we have no
half-price summons."
The boy went off, but soon came
back with the full price, and the sum
mons wag issued.
In due time the father and son ap
peared at court The father was a
portly, well-dressou man, who boiled
with rage he could hardly contain,
while his son told how he had been
whipped by him. The Judge listened
thoughtfully until the lad had finished;
then he asked:
"Has your father ever assaulted
you before?"
"No, sir."
"I am sorry for that I am going
to dismiss the summons on one con
dition only, and that Is that your fa
ther take you home and give you a
double dose of what he gave you be
fore. And," turning to the father,
"mind you do It, sir!"
"I will cheerfully carry out your
worship's instructions," replied the
man.
