HELP THE TEAMSTERS.
Practical Suggestions for Union Men And
Women to Act On.
The Team Drivers' Union is one o
the strongest unions in the city and is
n.ade up of earnest men who are seek
ing to improve their own condition!)
while helping other union men along
the sane lines. They ar.j entitled tc
and should have the earnest support
und co-operation of every union man
ond woman in the city.
Last week'Tho Wageworken printed
a true Btcry relating an experience ot
a union teamster named Swisher. He
left his card in his coat pocket at the
ard cilice, and when he undertook to
deliver a lead of coal In the neighbor
hood of Thirtieth and Fair the woman
of the house refused to si 3a for it until
he showed his union carl. He had in
go back to the office and get It. .
That's the kind of unionism that
counts today. If every union man and
woman in the' city would refuse to
leceivo coal delivered by non-union
team drivers the Team Drivers' Union
would receive a bocst tha. would bene
fit it and every other union. When
you order coal specify that it must lo
delivered by a union teamster, aud If
the coal dealer does not employ union

A MISLEADING PHRASE
Open Shop Talk By the Parryites Only a
Mask for Them
The principles of David M. Parry,
ibe Indianapolis Mrses who has under
taken to Jead ths manufacturers . of
America away fron. the innvenccs aod
the alleged tyranny or unionism, have
invented the "closet! shop'" phrase and
ere trying to put it into the mouths of
trade unicu advocaies. The terra was
invented to mislead and has been
made use of during the present year
in particular, says the International
Woodworker. Unicn men contend
there is no closed shop unk ss it is the
so-called open shop, whicn is or will
be closed to union men. There are
union shops, but these union shops
arc always open to workingmen who
are willing to co-operate . ith their fel
low workers for the general good -f
the masses. Topeka Labor Champion.

Dr. Sayre Has Held Championship
Many Years.
The revolver championship which
Dr. Sayre has held so long is shot at
ranges of twenty-five, fifty and seventy-five
yards. Twenty-five shots are
Bred at each range, fifteen seconds be
ing allowed for each string of fives.
The contest is open to all comers,
whether military or civilian marks
men, the only restriction being that
the arm shall be a military weapon.
In the contests at Fort Riley, Kan.,
Dr. Sayre was second among fifty
contestants in the revolver match. His
icore was 130 to 136 for Sergeant
Michael Cary, U. S. A. Most of the
competitors were army men. The
range was new to Dr. Sayre, and his
score is considered excellent. Return
ing from Fort Riley he went to Sea
Girt, with which range he is familiar,
and promptly won the squadded revol
ver match, with a score of 130 at flfjty
yards. Fourteen national guard or
ganizations took part in this contest.

Mr. Kerford of the Baptist church of

about fifteen years and for most of
the time was unable to walk. Harper
was a widower, having married a sis

interest in his sister-in-law and was
frequently a visitor to her house. A
short time ago Harper told Miss Dur
ham that if she would get up and walk
be would marry her. Thereupon she
made an effort and succeeded, taking

Amazing Pigeon Story.
When you do a thing do it well.
When you do a friend do him well
also, and when you tell a story let it
be the best of its Kind, F. H. S. Mor
rison , teHs. the . most amazing pigeoa
yarn efer heard. "During the Franco
Prussian war the French caught a
homing pigeon which was being sent
to transmit information into the be
sieged city of Paris. The bird was
made a prisoner of war and kept in
confinement for ten years. When
given its liberty it at once returned
to its old home." ' That bird ' "must
have been tortured daily in prison to
make it hate the place and long al
ways for its cote in Germany. New

from her oars drenched the young

He dodged what he could and en

forward eagerly when she spoke.
"Ain't the water nice?" she suggest

as a sample. "I do so love to row a

The church of St. Ethelburga, Bish
opsgate street, London, is quite a nov
elty in the way of ecclesiastical archi
tecture. In the forefront of the church
is an optician's shop and also a cut
lery establishment, both belonging to
one firm. This is probably the only
church in England which has two
shop fronts built into it.
Squirrels Preempt Maine House.
Squirrels have literally taken pos

playing tag for amusement. Disap

Pigeon Churns with Cat.

England, that a pigeon became a great

had a kitten has transferred its affec

Etiquette That Had Origin In Self.
Protection.
In South Africa, amongst the Kaffirs
snuff taking is universal, and it is a
grave breach of manners to ask your
host for a pinch when you are stand
ing up.
The reason for this is found in the
treacherous practices of former times.
When one man wished to kill another
a favorite device was to ask him for a
pinch of snuff, and then, while the
unsuspecting victim was fumbling for
his snuff box the murderer had a
splendid opportunity. As this trick
for taking a man at a disadvantage
became familiar, it naturally grew to
be a point of good manners to make
your request when squatting on the
ground, when clearly you were intend
ing no evil.
The Kaffir snuff Is made from crude
tobacco, grown at every kraal, which
is powered up and mixed with the ash
of the aloe, carefully ground on a
stone and damped. It is always eti
quette to ask for snuff, and the donor
grants your request grudgingly, lest
he should be suspected . of pressing
upon you bewitching medicine with it.
ORIGIN OF MODERN CARTOON.
Began with the Publication of Punch
in 1841.
The birth of Punch in 1841 was the
beginning of the modern caricature,
although these cartoons, now so fa
mous, did not start until 1843. Punch,
it is alleged, did far more than merely
to change the terminology of carica
ture; he revolutionized its spirit; he
made it possible for Gladstone to say
of it that "in his early days when an
artist was engaged to produce political
satires he nearly always descended to
"GWNiJtAi. " FVRER 7UKkd
".' 'fan torn . , rtAfTQX,,
gross personal caricature, and some
times indecency." To-day the humor
ous press showed a total absence of
vulgarity and . a . fairer treatment,
which made this department of war
fare always pleasing. The. history of
Punch is practically the story of car
tooning in modern England. Punch is
to England what La Caricature is to
France, and something more, for it
has the flavor at least of authority.:
The death of the Czar Nicholas,
who had boasted of his Generals Jan
uary and February beir.g the officers
he most depended Upton," which oc
curred in' February, 1855, called forth
one of Punch's historical cartoons, en
titled "General Fevrier Turned Trait
or." As a matter of fact, but not oi
history, the Czar committed suicide,
and his death was not due to pneumo
nia, as was then stated.'
"Leaven" of the Ancients. '
The yeast employed by the ancients
in making bread was probably of the
same kind as the Israelites of the
days of ,tbe great P.haroah, the,; op
pressor used, calling it "leaven." Thie
was what is known nowadays as a
wild yeast, its germs or spores being
afloat everywhere in the air. A bil
of dough was preserved out of each
batch prepared for , the ovens, and
when this was added to the next
dough the yeast contained in it quickly-
spread through the whole, only a
little being required to "leaven the
whole lump."
