Lee Johnson, secretary of the State Society of Labor, Kansas, left for Pittsburg, Kan., where he goes to act as an arbitrator between the mine owners and the miners, who are now on a strike. The position which Mr. Johnson occupies under the new law creating his department under a new name assigns him such work as this, although this Is the first time he has ever been called upon to assist In set tling a strike.

An Important decision has just been tendered In Han Francisco In the United States Circuit Court, in the case of the "California Fig Syrup Company vs. Clinton E. Worden &. Co., et al." The principal defendant Is a large non secret manufacturing concern. A per manent injunction has been granted enjoining the defendants from using the name—Syrup of Figs, or Fig Syrup—and ordering them to pay the coBts and account for damages. The decision Is of the greatest value, not only to manufacturers of proprietary articles, but to the public generally, as it affirms that the valuable reputation acquired by an article of merit, will be protected by the Courts, and that the party who builds the reputation by ex tensive and legitimate advertising. Is entitled to the full fruits of his enter prise. This confirms the title of the California Fig Syrup Co. to this genu ine and most valuable remedy, "Syrup of FigB.” Dr. Nedley, who has just died in Dublin, was at one time medical offi cer of the Dublin metropolitan police. One Sunday afternoon a crowd was standing outside a public house before the psychological moment arrived. Dr. Nedley approached, was recognized by some of the crowd, which opened out to let him pass, one of them remark ing; "Let the doctor pass, boys; sure lie has kilt more polls than all the invinclbles put together.” FREE.

Could all the history of the wounded and dead have been written never be fore hud been such a chronicle of ro mance and tragedy, but It was not; only now and then u leaf, as It were, has been written and preserved—this one by an army nurse. My hands and skirts were dabbed In Jlood; my heart was faint within me. For long hours I had fasted and work ed; Into my ears had been poured the most tender of last messages; the most heart-breaking tales. "You ought to rest a little," said the rough but kindly voice of an old sur geon; “only, If you can stand up a minute longer—there Is a case over here I want you to see. In silence I followed him to a small church build ing that had been turned into an hos pital. Every pew was a bed of pain; blood dripped from between the altar rails; even the aisles were partially blocked with the wrecks of humanity. It is In a scene like this that one ap preciates the "other side” of war. The surgeon led me straight to the singer's stand and pointed to a young man In shoulder straps, whose blonde curls were matted and whose beautiful blue eyes, beautiful even In their pain, roved restlessly over the walls and celling. He was lying fiat on his hack with only a prayer book for a pillow. I saw at a glance that an arm wa3 gone. The fingers of the other hand worked nervously. "I can't make out whether he Is In his right mind or not.” the surgeon said in an undertone. "Maybe yju can tell." I kneeled and laid my hand on his brow He seemed not to have noticed me before. Now he turned a startled, wondering gaze on me. His lips moved, but at first I could not catch the words. By and by I made out: "I want Dotlie. Please bring Dollle here.” Again: "I will give all I have to the one who will bring me Dollle.” ‘Who is Dollle?" I asked, geutly, still smoothing his forehead. He looked up with almost a smile in his eyes, and asked naively: "Don't you know Dollle?” “I am afraid I don't," I said, and I smiled a little, too. “Dollle is my sweetheart," he an swered a moment later. His face was “I want hoi.uk ” rary grate n«>w "And. oh how ah» rrtod whan t cam* a way!

She's gone now, I dreamed of her last night; dreamed that her arms were about my neck and that she was kiss ing me and calling me her soldier hoy.” 'Was ahe willing for you to go to j war?" I naked. I.Ike the doctor, I was not sure of his mental condition. “Yes, willing in a way. She felt that It was right for me to go, and right Is law with Dollle.” I went away then, but hd hour later, having bribed a good woman over the | way to let me have a pillow—her last one I returned to his side. It seemed to me that he had failed during my absence and the troubled look In his eyes was Intensified. When I had put the pillow under his head and bathed his fa<<*, he Bald, gratefully: "How very kind you are! Your j touch ’minds me of mother's." Then I knew he was watching me, but he did not speak for a long time, and when be did It was not to me: "Father In heaven, let me see Dollle once more; please send her to me.” I could not stand either the words or the pathos In the voice, I must help answer that prayer If passible. Hy and by I said: “Could you tell me where to send for • YOU DOLLIE?" Dollie? Maybe she would come to you It It Is not too far, and I should tell her how much you need her.” It was a hazardous thing to say. We did not often dare make such sugges tions, for, of course, few comparative ly, could come, and It did not do to raise false hopes. However, I felt confident that he could not live many hours, and his pleadings touched me inexpressibly, even amid the scene and sights surrounding. At the question he flashed me such a look. • Will you?” That was all, but oh. the (nteuslty of It! “Write to 8. B. Sterling,Sterling's Corners, Pennsylvania.” I was not In the least doubt of his sanity at the moment, but before I could trace the words In my notebook, his gaze was once more on the cell ing, and he was babbling of mother and Dollie. Reluctantly I brought myself to search his pockets, finding, strange to say, only a notebook with the name In gilt letters on the cover: "Donald Dee ” My letter was brief, only this: ''Donald Dee Is dangerously wounded and calls ceaselessly for ivdlle.” It was a memorable Fourth of July, one never to be forgotteu by the p tor fellows suffering through the hot.

Without being moody, he was not talkative. He seemed to be silently consumed by some inward longing. "He Is dying to see his sweetheart— poor boy!” was what the surgeon said, and what we all thought. It was the evening of the fourth day after I had sent my message to Sterling Corners. Sitting by his conch, fanning him—It was Intensely hot—I was startled to hear him say In a hurried whisper: "You don’t think she will get here In time?” To give myself time to frame an an swer. I feigned not to understand. "I am afraid I will not hold out till Dolllo gets here. I dreamed this after noon that her mother was here by the bed, and she said, 'You won't have to wait much longer, Donald,’ Her mother Is dead, you know, and I think It means that I am soon to go,” Assuming a hopefulness that I was far from feeling I answered: ”1 do not so interpret your dream. I tako It that you will not have long to lie here and wait before Dollle comes.” He caught hopefully at the sugges tion and seemed much better all night. Early the next morning I went to see a poor boy whose end was unmistak ably near and who called me “mother.” I was detained some time and as my return to my headquarters necessitated my passing where Capt. Dee was quar tered. I thought to serve him his breakfast and then take an hour or two of re3t. The surgeon met me. saying: "Dollle has come and Is waiting out there In the kitchen. See her and then break the news to him. He Is very weak this morning.” My heart beat fast; at last I would see Dollie with her arms about her lover’s neck. I could Imagine Just the way he would look at her; he said so much with his eyes. I paused on the threshold of the kitchen; she was not there—no one but the cook, a strange man and a lit tle child were In the room. Dollie must have grown Impatient and sought him out; the shock might kill him. Hurriedly I turned away, but as I did so the child sprang forward and caught my hand, exclaiming vehement ly: ’’Dollie wants her papa!” In my surprise I Jerked my hand away and fairly staggered backwards "You—Dollie?" It was all I could say. ‘‘Of course I’m Dollie,” she answered In an injured tone, adding piteously: “I want my papa, and he wants me.” The stranger, an elderly gentleman, now interposed by handing me my own letter and saying: “I am S, n. Sterling, Donald Dee’s stepfather, and this is little Dollie, his daughter.” "Certainly—yes, I see,” I stammered, and I did, though as yet dimly; It was so entirely different from what I had expected. And then I went to Capt. Dee. He seemed restless and feverish, and I gave myself time by wetting a cloth and placing it on his head. By and by I said: "If Dollie should come today, could you bear the Joy of it?” "I'd like to try the experiment.” and a ghost of a smile flitted over bis wan features. "Joy is not as apt to be fatal as either hope deferred or rebel bullets, and I know something of both of these.” Then I said: “Well, she Is here.” I can no more describe the unutter able look of gladness that lighted his face than I can describe the rapture of the blegt. "Thank God—and you!” A few moments later Dollie was covering his face and hands with kisses and he was hugging her with his one arm and calling her "sweetheart” over and over again.

Perhaps there are comparatively few people who appreciate the vast scope of the First Greater America Colonial Kxposltton which opens Its gates at Omaha on July 1st. The United States has become, within the past yeur, a mighty empire whose possessions lie on either side of the globe, and It 1b a stupendous undertaking to bring to gether In one grand comprehensive exhibit the national resources, Indus tries, manufactures and products, not only of the North 'American continent, but of several of the principal Islands of the seas. The peoples of these far away., sea-girt lands are of different The government exhibit will surpass that of last y^ar. The Libby Prison War Museum, an immense collection of historical relics, will be augument ed by trophies from the war In the Philippines and the campaigns in Cuba and Porto Rico. The various other exhibits in Agriculture, Mining, Elec tricity, Machinery, Manufactures and Art are superior to those of last year and in almost every department will be new and interesting features. The grounds and buildings have l een greatly improved, thousands of ttees, plants, shrubs and flowers from tropic and sub-tropic lands being used in the decorations. In the Horticul ture exhibit aru palms, orange trees and scores of trees and plants from our island possessions, many of which aro new to the people of the United States. The Electrical illumination will far surpass anything of the kind here tofore attempted and all that is new est and most novel In electric effects will be shown. The Orand Court will he a fairy city when the thousands of lights are displayed and many of the effects are startling In their novelty and wlerd beauty.
