Iss it by oversightedness, then? It iss not possible that the unioners would wil fully neglect anything a little, no? “I haf take a new interest by the unioners, for 1 haf now by my store one of the great leaders of the future already, lie iss chust a delivery boy row. but iss young yet. “Last night while 1 wass getting ready to shut the store once he came ground already, and say that he would like to speak by me with a little pri vateness yet. “•You will excuse me a little,' ho ray. ‘but me and the odor hoys haf gone by the unioners. and we wass going to haf the store go by the uuion Iseh rules after next week.’ “ ‘So?’ I say to him, feeling a little of those astonishments. “ ‘Yes,’ he answer, ‘l wass the organ izer yet, and the other boys haf dele gate me a little to tell you how the store wass going to be run already.’ “ ’So?’ I say yet again, “ ‘In the first place.’ he go on. ‘we wass going to haf fair wages already. “ ‘But what wass fair wages, Chon ny?’ I ask him a little. “ ‘We haf not yet quite settle that,’ he say, ‘but we wass going to have a committee of delifery boys to pass upon the question. Fair wages is w’hat we unioners want. Therefore we haf only to get together yet and find out what wages wo want, and then we will know what iss fair wages already! Iss Is not?’ “’Iss that all, Chonny?’ I ask him when I recover a little my breathings. “ ‘We will haf a few rules once.’ he say. 'We will not work too many hours nor take the baskets that arc too big already.’ 111 .1 '■ r “ 'You wass not to sell to any cus tenners who wass not in good stand ing a little by the unloners. “ ‘Then you shall gif no orders by the boys yourself, but shall haf a fore man. who iss a unioner, and who shall do all the ordering yet.' | “ ‘How iss It,' I ask him, ‘that you haf all the rules by what 1 shall do already? llaf you no rules a little about w hat the hoys shall dto once?' "‘We haf.’ he answer, ‘a rule that no boy shall do his work wi.h rush mgs. but shall take things easy a little.’ “ ‘What will you do. Chonny,’ I ask him yet. ‘if 1 do not keep the strict observance of your rules?' “ ‘Then.’ he say. 'we will strike al ready. and send a delegate to shargo ; for waiting time. Then we will write a piece by the paper and send it to I some editor who was trying a little to be tiie Maude Gonne of the union era. We will say that Katnenlieb iss a beast and an enemy by the human race.’ “ ‘Chonny.’ 1 say to him. I haf only one more question to ask: Wass you, or wass 1, the owner of this store already yet?’ •“Well, he answer with one of those judicial slownesses a little. ‘1 wass a unioner. but 1 wass a fair-minded | unioner. I was willing to arbitration that question once.’ “‘Chonny,’ 1 say to him. then.

Iss it. or iss it not?’”- New Yon; Times. Honor Paid to Tories. The first member of tlio board of aldermen who wants to pull the tail out of the British lion might do so by changing the names of some of Now York's streets. The board of aldermen have the power of changing tho names of streets at. their own sweet will. This being the case, it seems strange that the men most prominent as Tories or Royalists at. the time of the revolution are honor ed by having some of tlie principal thoroughfares of the city named after them. Oliver Delaney was arrested by tho liberty boys as a traitor, yet we have four streets recalling and perpetuating his memory— Delanecy and Orchard rtrects, which ran through the Delan ey farms, and James and Oliver streets, both complimentary to two members of the family, who were traitors to the cause of liberty. Wil liam Bayard was a Tory merchant and an ancester of Thomas Frances Bay ard. Bayard and Hester streets, which still remain such, were named after him end his daughter. Thomas Bar clay, a tiaitor who fled to Nova Scotia to escape imprisonment and execution, was a clergyman of Trinity church, the hotbed of Toryism, and Barclay street still bears his name. Bindley Murray, the Tory grammarian, has his name perpetuated In Murray street. John Mooro was deputy collector of cus fonts, and Moore street was named after him and still hears his name, He was a Tory. .lames Rivington was the boldest spoken Tory when New York was or copied by the1 British, and In further ance of the cause of the king he start ed a newspaper and continued it until forced by Washington to suspend it after the British evacuation. Riving ton street remains to remind people of tlio atrocities practiced by English soldiers, mostly at the instigation of and upon information supplied by Rivington. It was due to hini that hundreds of patriots died of starva tion in tho overcrowded, impromptu jails and cellars ol' the North Dutch church in Nassau street, and in other and worse prisons on the Hudson river side at Eleventh street. Peter Warren was a brother-in-law of Rivington and fully as strung in his hatred and denunciation of patriots. He was honored by having Warren a tract named after him. Robinson and Clarkson streets were named after two noted Tories. Rob inson street is now a part a?. Park place, but while that name lias gone forever Clarkson street still remains. Duncan End law was a supreme court justice of strong Tory proclivities, who made his name odious to the patriots, but he was honored and his name preserved by calling Ludlow street alter him.—New York Press. The Meadow Lark’s Song. Not a melody of earth Rver vet was Riven birth. Nor will onme before the final trumpet warning, Such as that which strikes the ear When the sun rays llrst appear When the meadow lark Is singing In the morning. rhe good old fashioned birds that sang for generations gone. That piped their simple melodies back at creation's dawn. Are with us yet, and every note is just as clear as when The Master placed them on the earth to cheer the hearts of men, And never did a sweeter song burst from a feathered throat; No mortal ear has ever heard a more en trancing note Since llrst the merry warblers were re leased from Noah's ark Than is the jolly whistle of the saucy meadow lark. We can see the cunning fellows peeping from the waving grass. 1‘lplrg forth n cheery greeting full of mu sic as we pass, And their saucy heads are wagging in ail independent way As upon their breasts of yellow and of gold the sunbeams play. I How they semi to know their mission Is to cheer the world along With their eye-enchanting presence and their ear-entrancing song - Messenger* of dninly beauty sent from realms of peace above Piping to ns of the Master and tils all embracing love. From (he grlden days of childhood, when the earth to ns was new. Ere u cloud had spread Us pinions to ob scure our skies of blue. Comes a tender recollection of the mead ow lark's sweet song. More delightful than the warbling „of the daintier feathered throng. How they'll wing around the meadows, hopping o'er the new mown hay. Telling tis in merry pipings of the pleas ure of the play. Or would perch upon the fences where thu honeysuckles seemed As a clustered wealth of jewels when ills sunlight on them gleaned. Tis a hint of coming heaven. From till' lips of Nature given. When her Bummer gown the gay earth Is adorning. And the sunlight softly plays O'er the (bids In golden rays And the meadow lark Is singing In the morning. -James Harton Adams, in Denver Post. Noisy Army. The Moorish "sultan’s army Is a wonderful affair. It fights by making a noise rather than by killing the enemy. The army consists of 25,000 men. Some are armed with discard ed British martlni-henrys; others with nome-made imitations of the martini henry, which jam and refuse to fire, while others have the old flintlock muzzle-loader, which is of doubtful habits.

Food ana Energy. A London newspaper has published statistics to k show that people with large appetites become the chief na tions of the world, and that the nature of the food eaten has a striking rela tion to national character. Thus, comparing tho daily expediture per head on food witli the exports of a country, it is found that the people eating the most work the most. The following table shows the result of In vestigation along this line. The first column of figures represents the ex pense of food per head per day ill cents, and the second column the an nual exports of the countries named: United States .58 $ 1.495,000,000 Great Britain .4fi 1,400,000,000 Germany .42 1,105.000.000 France .38 830.000,000 Italy .18 270,000,000 Clear white clothes are a sign that the housekeeper uses Red Cross Ball Uiua Large 2 oz. package, 5 cents.
