Gives a Ball to Fill the Boys' Christmas Boxes. On last Monday evening Capital Auxiliary No. 11 gave its regular mnothly social to its members and the members of the Typographical Union, and it was quite equal in point of suc cess to other auxiliary socials. The function this time took the form of a masque party, and while the number of maskers was not so large as ex pected,, and the attendance all too small considering everything, those Little enough time in which to gather together all the gifts you expect to purchase.

The Auxiliary has a membership of forty and the Typographical Union a membership of about 100, yet less than half of the Auxiliary members were present and only about 30 per cent of the-printers. - The. printer.; are making a huge mistake in not giving better support to the Auxiliary, for the wom eii are doing a splendid work in the cause of unionism, and some of these days the vboys will learn what "they have missed. Monday night's affaii was thoroughly enjoyed by all pres ent. An especially, pieasing feature ol the evening was the music furnished by the newly organized orchestra con ducted by Mr. Reed.

Parry of Indianapolis, the hyp ocrite who is drawing a big salary from the manufacturers for screeching for the open shop bugaboo, and who appears on the American farcial stag? as the only great ( ?) union smasher, has again tipped his hat to Typogra phical Union. In establishing a news paper in Indianapolis to fight the unions he could not get any rat print ers to print the sheet (according to liis story) and consequently sent the work to be done by members of the Typographical Union. Of course, th;; union men are not the best in Dam nable Mendicant Parry's opinion but they can't be got away from. New Or leans United Labor Journal. - THE LABOR DIRECTORY.

Little Exertion Required to Secure Good Catch Son of John Burroughs Tells the Story in Outing Charac teristic of the Tropics. My son Julian furnishes me with this account of a curious manner of fishing which he saw in Jamaica: "After spending even so short a time as one month in the tropics, one can readily understand the possibility of such a strange to us perform ance as that Mr. Charles Kellogg and I witnessed one night in Kingston harbor. We were idly lounging about the wharf of the United Fruit com pany, waiting for the Admiral Samp son to take us back to Philadelphia, our cameras, with every plate ex posed, having been stored away with our baggage. Otherwise we might have gotten some kind of a picture, even in the failing light, of the strange scene before us. Two negro fisher men had put out their net, as the great circle of buoys or floats indi cated, and had stationed themselves at one side with their boat. All would be quiet for a few moments until sud denly, with a great shouting, which was taken up by a crowd of coolies in shore, the two negroes would rap loud ly with their paddles on the side of the boat. Instantly mullets would flash out. of the green water, trying to jump over the boat into the water beyond both boat and net. They jumped out of the water six feet or so from the boat, and would surely have cleared everything had it not been for a net which was hung on poles like a fence, and which invariably threw the mullets back into the bottom of the boat. This was repeated over and over until the catch numbered dozens, from "two to six or seven being caught each time the pounding and shouting was resorted to. Certainly nothing could be done more characteristic of the tropics than such a performance, yet our friends at home have always called it a fish story. The mullets are a silver fish, about the size of herring, except that they are rounder, being in shape like our chubbs. They were great jumpers. When we drew a seine for alligators in the Salt ponds at Port Henderson the mullets jumped all over the net, in and out, just for the fun of it, apparently. Great num bers of them are caught with dyna mite by simply priming it and throw ing it into the water, when the silly mullets at once dart up and swim around and around until the dynamite explodes and kills them all. At "Port Henderson I threw stones from the dock, when in the clear water I could see the mullets appear as if by magic, darting about the stone in a whirling circle. How such habit originated it is hard to imagine. "At any rate, it made a beautiful picture, the green, water below flash ing "forth the silver fish, the old dug out, with its half naked, muscular ne groes, the coolies in their flowing robes of every color on shore, the cocoanuts of barbaric splendor rising against the Blue mountains that in turn rose into the very clouds."

Representative Clayton of Alabama has a brother-in-law, Capt. Wiley Will iams, who is chief of police of Colum bus, Ga., and he says that Williams recently told him about a woman who applied to him to use his every effort to get a "delinquent" sweetheart to marry her. "I cannot assist you," said Chief Williams. "It is beyond the power of my office to make the fellow marry you. "Can't you?" urged the woman. "It is out of the question." "Barney White and a heap of folks told me you could," "White and -others have misrepre sented the powers of my office." "Are you a married man yourself?" "Yes, madam." "Then I don't wonder you won't help me." Nashville Banner. Representative British Statesman. Lord Lansdowne, who at a recent Guildhall dinner in London made a notable plea for universal arbitration, has been in the British cabinet con tinuously since 1895. He is noted for precise, formal manners and for in cisiveness of speech. A smile rarely passes across his thin face, which is scarcely ever ruffled by any lively emotion, his lordship having carefully schooled himself in the art of con cealing his thoughts and keeping im passive countenance while discussing weighty matters with foreign ambas sadors. He has been governor gener al of Canada and viceroy of IndJlK- Old Term of Endearment Is Now Lib tie Used. It is no longer proper to teach your baby to call you "Mama." It is not even smart to let him say "Mamma," or to allow him to use the dignified title "Mother." It may be hard to eliminate the sweetest word from the English language, but if you want to. keep up with the pace of young ma trons who never intend to grow old or even matronly you must relegate tha.t word to the shelf where now rest such old-fashioned terms as "Ma," "Mam my" and "Granny." The other day every passenger in a certain Madison avenue car craned his neck to see from whence a wee small voice issued. "Dearest," said -the silvery little voice. "Dearest, may I kneel up and look out of the window?" And then they all caugjit a glimpse of a curly-locked girl and her equally curly-locked mother. "Yes, dearest," replied the mother sweetly; for she knew that she had the attention of the entire car. Another" and more original mother, who scorns to copy the hero of "Little Lord Fauntleroy," has taught her baby boy to call her "Darling." Still an other fashionable mother is .known to her children as "Mama Marjory." "Sweetheart," "Motherkin" and "Sweet" are some other endearing terms that one hears every day in the fashionable household. It may detract from your dignity to allow the little ones to address you in this familiar way, but it certainly makes you feel dozens of years young er and establishes a sort of bon cam araderie between you and your Daby that makes him or her seem even more interesting. If this side of the matter doesn't appeal to you, the elec trical effect which such words, lisped by a baby mouth, have upon other people may tempt you to go out of the beaten rut. WOMAN KNOWS THE WORLD. Jury Either Very Good-Hearted or the Culprit Beautiful. . "It just goes to show how terrible life in a great city is for a lonely girl," said the minister's wife, "when a young woman is so hungry and weary that she will steal a diamond ring in order to obtain a night's lodg ing and a meal in a nice, dry jail. Did you read about the Sarah Smith who did that?" "No, I didn't," said the widow. "Tell me about it, dear." "Well, her case was so pathetic that thq probation officer sympathized with her openly and told her she need not feel so, badly -about it. after all, and the magistrate discharged her on the spot, and the jeweler said he would withdraw the charge and let her have the ring if she would pay for it at her convenience, and the correction com missioner said he would get her a nice position In the Manhattan State hos pital as assistant nurse. What do you think of it all?" "I think," said the widow, with an inscrutable smile, "that this world is a nice, charitable place, full of good hearted people after all or else that girl must have had big melting blue eyes, a retrousse nose, cheeks like damask velvet and hair like morning sunbeams." The Cheaper Way. Col. G. C. Goodloe of the marine corps said recently, apropos of some philanthropic scheme of small utility: . "This is the kind of help that a cer-; tain aristocratic family of Kentucky gives. "There is an elderly widow, a poor relative of this family, who has a hard time to get along. She has three daughters, girls ranging in years from fifteen to twenty, and one day she ap plied to a friend of mine for help for them." ," 'I'd like to get some winter dresses for the girls,' she said. 'Aren't there at your house some old woolen frocks that are cot needed?' "'Why, yes, I guess so,' said my friend. 'But I thought your rich rela tives looked after your daughters.' The old woman sighed. " 'Only their morals sir, only their morals,' she said." His Loves. "The woman I love with my heart," he said. "Is a cozy-cornery girl; A sofa-pillowy, soft and willowly. Smoother of ills that are big and bil lowy. Sympathetic, nonascetic. Dear little love of a girl." "The woman I love with my brain," he said, "Is a brilliant-stimulant girl; She's sheer delight to my mental sight. With a wit as quick as an arrow's flight, A comrade true and a sweetheart, too, And a never-wearying girl." 'The woman I love with my soul," he said, 'Is a. Saint Cecelia firirl: The meanings line of a love divine In her movements show, in her glances Fairest' of all she holds .me in .thrall, I china She s a simply adorable girl. 'Then fare you well and forever," she said. Her scarlet lip a-curl; 'To think that I no matter, goodby!" Ah, Love," he said, " 'tis for you I sigh. All three you are, my sweet, my star. My one, my only girl." Ladles' World. New Plants for America. Thomas H. Kearney of the bureau of plant industry, United States de partment of agriculture, has been au thorized to proceed to North Africa and other Mediterranean coast regions for the purpose of securing new seeds and plants adapted to the southwest. A special study will be made of the date and new introductions of this fruit will be undertaken. Alkali-resistant forage crops will be studied also, and the introduction of seeds of new and promising kinds will be made. Mr. Kearney will remain abroad until next spring.
