Apostle Paul Is on Record as Having Created Dissension Among the People of Ephesus by His Preaching of Christianity. Whllo tho matter of Lnbor day Is Milder consideration, tho question rifles: What Is labor? Webster Slvca as his first definition: "Toll or exertion, physical or mental." William D. Wilson, secretary of tho department of labor, gavo tho follow Ins as his conception of tho Idea: "Labor Is any mental or physical ac tivity othor than that engaged In sole ly for ploasuro" a definition showing brain at onco practical and analytic. Mr. Powdorly would narrow this aomowhat by defining labor as "any exertion, mental or physical, not In dulged In for pleasuro and for tho ben efit of mankind." Doctor Coultor of tho cousub bureau, an export on such matters, would glvo an oven broader scopo to tho word. Ho doQncs labor as: "All oftort, whothor znontaf 'df "physical." I Tho question of Labor day naturally brlngu to mind tho collateral labor Questions of labor union protests nnd strikes. Thoro is a tondoncy among latter-day philosophers to prophesy all muniior of ovll to como to mankind by tho way of labor unions nnd their troubles, both among thomsolvos and jwlth others, and to hold forth thoso troubles ns a proof of human deca donco, pocullar only to this degonorato ago. I l'nul, togethor with olhcr apostles, wont up in tho Ephoous country, Book ing convurta to tho Christian faith. ( Now, EphosuB wa3 tho favorlto city of Diana, or Artemis, us sho was also called. Hero was nor famous tomplo; horo wna hor famous stntuo, said by tho prloats to havo fallen from heavon. Thither overy yoar cntno pilgrims by tho tons of thousands to worship at tho ehrlno of tho tutolary deity and lioro a goodly number of silversmiths found their calling a most lucratlvo ono. For, thoro bolng no photographs nor postal cards, theso pilgrims took away with them small sllvor fac simile Btatuottcfl of tho great goddess as BouvonlrB. Now obsorvo tho nine teenth chapter of Acts. "Now a silversmith nnmed Demet rius, who mado silver modolB of tho uhrlno of Arteml3 (Dinnn), and bo gavo a great deal of work to tho nrtl Bans, got theso men togethor, as well as tho workmen engaged in similar occupations, and Bald: 'Men, you know that our proaporlty dopends upon this work, and you boo nnd hoar that, not only In Ephesus, but In almost tho wholo of Roman Asia, this Paul has convinced end won over great num bers of pooplo by bis assertion that thoso gods which aro mado by hands aro not gods at all, so that not only Is this business of ours Ukoly to fall Into discredit, but thoro Is tho further danger that tho tomplo of tho great goddess, Artemis (Dinnn), will bo thought nothing of, and that sho her solf will bo deprived of hor splondor, though all Roman Asia aud tho wholo world worship her.' "When thoy heard this tho men woro greatly enraged and began shout ing: 'Groat Is Artomls of tho Epho elans!' Tho commotion spread through tho wholo city, mid tho pcoplo rushod with ono accord into tho theater, drag ging with them tho companions of Paul." Cortnlnly thoro cannot bo found In any modern nowspnpor a moro perfect account of a sympathetic strike and a labor riot. And that was two thousand years ago. Seagal lliii - 'W l & ? -&2 3 v. n' cqr 10 ia3 mxrr ys lsS 'llfels v Period of Stress Ahead of the American Worker. Labor Day an Excellent Tlmo to Think of the Future That Mutt Be the Result of the War In Europe. Every American, whothor ho works with his hands or with his head, will tnko full advantago of Lnbor day, the laBt of tho summer holidays; ovory ono will appreciate tho fact that thero is a long period of work ahead of him. This fall and winter Is euro to bo a tlmo of readjustment in many lines of American commcreo and labor, duo to the European war, which not only shuts off Bomo of tho things we buy, but Is filling our warehouses with many of tho things wo sell. How to mnnago without tho particular things wo havo nlwnys Imported and how to get a market for tho things Europo cannot buy must engago our serious attention for months, perhaps for years. Thero may bo bomo failures In tho effort to readjust, but thero will bo moro successes, nnd great ones. No doubt about tho futuro need bo in tho henrt of anyone Tho best thing about tho wholo sit uation is tho stout heart of tho busi ness world and tho peoplo In general. They enter upon a combat with un certainties with tho old Yankco con fidence, backed by tho knowledgo that In tho fundamental Items of physical llfo wo nro Bafo. Wo can feed our Bclves, clotho oursolves, warm our solvo. Tho rest Is only a matter of tlmo and adjustment. Thoro will bo no hard times If tho hard work Is well tackled. Business must not wnlt "until tho war Is over," for nobody knows when that blessed day will bo. If wo nro prepared for a long war, so much tho moro prosperity If tho war is brief. It Is a splendid tlmo for every American, fiom tho housowlfo to tho capitalist, to study American econo mies and get a. hotter knowledgo of values. DEMAND IS FOR SERVICE Public Ideas Have Had a Significant Change In a Comparatively Few Years. When tho French nrlstccrat beforo tho grout roolutlon was asked as to his chief sorvlco to society, ho replied, "To havo been born." Ho felt that hla mere presenco In tho world conferred an honor on his couutry. That has been tho attltudo of privi leged classes of all tlmo. But a now ideal has come into men's minds tho Ideal of labor, of Borvlco to tho com munity. Today tho public Is constant ly asking men to Justify their Income "What havo you dona to desorvo It?" Is tho question. "By what service to bo doty havo you earned your monoy?" It used to bo considered perfectly proper to wntor tho stock of great pub lic Borvlco corporations. Dut now pco plo havo cono to sco this means to gift an inconio without working for It, and public sentiment Is shutting off tho prnctlco. Molon cutting In connection with franchlso grabs was onco popular. Hut it bocamo apparent that this was mero ly ono way of getting something for nothing, and tho day of melon cutting la douo. So, all up and down tho lino tho de mand haB como for servlco In return for Incomo. Society Is willing to wrlto Us noto for pretty nearly nuy amount to tho oncrgotlc man, but It Insists that tho payment shall bo for value received. i ir w-mrm m .

If you woro without preparation or plan, rudely placed In a wilderness, your first thought would bo of food supply nnd your next of Bholtor, for theso aro tho two inoBt vital necessi ties of mankind. It to therefore natural that tho best thought, and study aro put upon theso two essen tials. Moro forward stops havo been taken In tho building Industry in the past fifteen years, as regards comfort, sorvlco and architectural boauty than In tho fifty years previous. 4 Only in recent years has tho hand ling of cement In building work boon understood properly, and progress Is still constantly being mado with It. Modern hotels and ofTlco buildings aro bolng equipped with shoot motal mouldings and steel voonored doors. Nearly overy Important ohnngo In building construction Is away from tho fire hazard of wood. Ono of tho most significant dovolop menta of recent years ia tho crushed slato surfaced asphalt shlnglo which Is, on now construction and old, rapid ly supplanting tho wooden nrtlclo. Thero nro many reasons for this. The slato surfaced shlnglca add beauty to any building In fact, thoro is really no comparison from nn architectural standpoint. Crushed slato of pleasing tints of rod or green, Is omployed aa a surfacing. Tho shingles nro uniform ly eight Inches wldo and nro exposed four inches to tho weather. No paint ing la necessary aa tho red or green crushed slato is natural and thereforo cannot fade Tho purchaser, howovcr, ohould guard himself against buying a Blato surfaced Bhinglo that is not guaran teed by a rcllnblo and rcsponslblo manufacturer. Thoro nro so many kinds of roofing and Bhlngloa on tho market today each claiming to bo tho best that It becomes necessary for tho buyer to get nomo satisfactory nssur anco thnt tho roofing or shingles nro represented honestly. Clear Title. Uncle Moso aspired to the elective olllcc of Justice of the peace in tho "black bottom" part of town. Ono bar there was to his proferment Ho could neither read nor write Hla master advised him to go to tho com missioner of elections and ask whether ho was eligible. Moso wont and returned. "What did ho tell you. Mose?" in quired tho master. "It's all right, sun," answorcd Moso; "dat gen'lemun suttlnly was kind, yas, suh. He tole mo Ah was Illegible fo' dato ofllce." It is almost Impossible for a wom an to drivo a nail, yet sho Is usually an expert with tho hammer. A dlvorco Judge, like a poor marks man, makes a good many misses.
