You are hereby not! lied to be present at the meeting, 8 p. m., Tuesday, May 1, at Carpenters' Hull. C. H. CHASE, Itec. Sec. Ross Shepherd was reported on the sick list the first of the week, but a later report says he is at work again. There were four initiations at the last meeting and one application. More coming. Did you miss Bro. Michler's talk at the last meeting? It set some of the boys to thinking, and was one of the best in point of real brotherly-manliness that has been heard in Lincoln for some time. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered him. General President Hubner has sanc tioned the use of The Wageworker as a medium for notifying members of special meetings. Fred Eissler was elected business ngent at the last meeting. Let the members stand back of him and sup port the men who "tote fair," and thus show to the world at large, or at least this corner of it, that the carpenters are standing for a "square deal." Carpenters are in demand, there be ing practically no idle men at this writing. In the interests of harmony among ourselves, as well as among the em ployers who felt that they could not stop other building trades, the Satur day half-holiday was cut out. Frank G. Odell, in asking for men to man the big job at Capital Beach, stat ed that on all his work this summer the work would ceuse at 12 m. every Saturday. Mr. Odell believes that a inun whb attends to his home chores and business on Saturday, and rests on Sunday, or what is better, gives his mind a change in its line of work by going to church, and really resting by Retting acquainted with his family on Sunday, Is a better man than the one who puts in Sunday building chicken houses, mending fences, making gar den or doing any one of a dosen other little jobs around the house. If we could set the price of the sack of flour that, is needed to bake bread for our families, we might be willing for the other fellow to set the price on our labor and skill. Which is the more reasonable? Think a minute! When you get to . the pearly gate, where you hope to get a position In side, what will .happen if you can not sho' a card that Is clean and paid up to date not in money, but in loving, loyal service, working out the Master's two greatest commandments, "Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God," and "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self"? Think of this a minute. Then think about the fits some people throw when we mention the "closed shop." Is there a steward on your job? And does he report at each meeting? If not, g?t busy! An unorganized army is of very little use. and a great comfort they have been too," she added feelingly. "There's not many a place in town but what I can make out with these oppery glasses, and there's not much goin; on that I don't know," finished this original being .triumphantly, who in this novel fashion kept herself well In touch with the rest of the world. Tin Horns, Mechanical Tog Horns' and Other Modern. Con trivances. Tin horns, such as venders bring out) by the wagon load in the city's streets on election night, are stock articles of sale the year around in the stores of dealers in marine supplies, says the New York Sun. Thousands of tin horns, of various sizes are annually sold to fishermen, oystermen and men using boats, in many waters,, in various, pursuit, and. such horns are sold, as well, for boats used for pleasure. A big horn of this kind might be heard a mile. For larger vessels, such as schooners sailing in open water and not equipped with power with which to blow whistles, there are provided mechanical fog horns that can be operated by hand, and that can be heard three or four miles away. With the multiplication everywhere within recent years of pleasure craft there have been introduced still other sorts of noise makers. One of these is a bellows horn, with the horn attached to the top board of a trimly-finished bellows pf oblong shape, to the top board of which also is attached a handle.' This bellows horn can be put down any where and operated simply by pressure. Though not as big as the mechanical fog . -horn it ean be heard'for a considerable distance. . , : . A still smaller bellows noise maker has in place of a horn an air whistle. Another whistle contrivance has a small upright metal cylinder in whichj air is compressed by means of a handle worked like a plunger. The whistle) which may be one of a single tone, or chime. Is attached to .the outside of th cylinder. Still another modern noise maker is. an air-blown whistle with a light con4 trlvance attached. When the whistlo cord is pulled the light shows as the whistle blows. Obviously the light at-j tachment is for use at night to locate the boat from which the whistle Is blowing.; While these later sound producers, de signed more especially for yachts and launches and tenders and other pleas-. ure craft, are rather more elaborate; they are used for precisely the same! purposes as the old tin horn, namely, to! give warning in case of fog, for signal ing In crowded waterways, for blowln; for landings or for bridges. How She Always Knew. All alone on the hilltops lived Han nah Jano Spriggins, and a lonely life she led, this ancient maid. Much to the wonder of the good people of the village of Medbybemps, she was never at a loss for news, and when neigh bors called with stray bits of informa tion, Hannah Jane always knew it long before it had been spread broad cast through the town. , "Say, did ye know Sam Whitten's Anne had a shock?" volunteered an excited female, dropping in on Hannah Jane early one evening, just as that peaceful soul was sipping her nightly brew of tea. "Taken at 2 o'clock this afternoon," calmly replied that lady, serenely; "had to send for that know-nothing crittur of a Dr. Smith, . 'cause Dr. Brown wasn't home. Got Sam Ketch urn's Tabitha for a nurse." "For the land's sake?, Hannah, how'd ye know it?" gasped the as tounded caller. "You ain't had time to go down to the village and back since it happened." Hannah Jane shook her head in mysterious fashion. "You do beat all for getting the news first," continued the neighbor, with an injured air. "How in time's sake do ye manage." Hannah. Jane meditated a moment, then beckoned to her guest, who was one of her oldest friends, and led her in solemn silence up the winding stairs that led to a turret chamber at the top of the house. This room had been made for her father, and old sea captain of the town, so that he could watch the vessels as they sailed into the harbor. . From an ancient bureau in the cor ner of the room Hannah drew forth something wrapped carefully in tissue paper. "Opery glasses," she explained briefly, as she took out her treasure , from the numerous wrappings. "Niece Ellen sent em to me five years ago; An Appreciated Performance. The late Joseph Jefferson used to say that his career came very near being nipped in the bud in a small western town. He at that time was a member of a small- pioneer company which, progressed by means of. three "bull teams" from one mining camp to another. They were always heartily received by the miners and cowboys, who readily paid the $5 In gold re quired to witness their performance. Mr. Jefferson was the traditional melo dramatic villain, and in the third act was supposed to kidnap "the child." The supposed mother, hearing its cries, rushes upon the scene just as he is about to escape, and fires a fruitless shot from a revolver. Upon this particular occasion all had gone well until this scene was reached, and the audience, many of,whom had never before seen any kind of theatri cal performance, sat as if spellbound. At the crack of the mother's revolver, however, the spell was rudely broken. "By heaven, she missed him!" a red-shirted miner in the front row shouted, drawing his own "six-shooter" and leaping to his feet. "Round to the back door and head him off 'fore he can git a hoss, boys!" he yelled, and following him, half the audience stam peded for the exit. The excitement was finally allayed by the "mother" and the villain's ap pearing hand in hand before the cur tain, and the manager's explanation of the situation. When the performance had been concluded, the audience in sisted on paying another admission price and having an immediate repe tition from beginning to end. Makes a Difference. Mrs. De Pink reading "Never show your temper, no matter what the provocation. Never resent a slight. Never lose your seK-poise under trying circumstances. Do your best to make others happy. Forget that , you have any wishes except when consulted Watch every opportunity to be useful to those about you. There are thous ands of litle ways in which this can be done without appearing obtrusively rolite." 1 Miss De Pink "Are those rules for wives?" Mrs. De Pink contemptuously "Certainly not. I am reading the lat est rules for society debutantes." Interested in Science. Boston Dame "My dear, where are you going?"

KNEW HOW TO WORK "POP" Indulgent Pater Fixed the Clock to Help Maggie Deceive Par ticular Ma. "Have fathers changed, do you think?" inquired the old maid stenog rapher just after lunch, relates the Chicago Inter Ocean. "Why?" asked the smart Aleck bookkeeper. "Does everybody work but father at your house?" "Oh," replied the O. M. S., "it i3n't anything like that, but I eat at one of those girls' lunch clnbs where you helj yourself, you know. To-day I was standing in the middle of the floor with my tomato soup and caramel ice cream, wondering where to sit, when I saw two such sweet, innocent, young looking things that I couldn't resist sitting down at the same table vita, them. I just wanted to hear them '.alki and to Imagine myself young again.' "It was hard work, wasn't it?" In quired the smart Aleck bookkeeper. "Well," went on the O. M. S tak ing no notice, "this is the conversa tion I heard: ' " 'Did you zo to the dance last night, Maggie?' " 'Yes, and such a time. I asked ma if I could go, and she said I could; if I got in by 12 o'clock, but if I didn't this would be the very last dance I should go to. I knew I couldn't get home by midnight, or anywhere near it, but I didn't tell ma that. So I went over and got Lizzie-and we went. We had the swellest time! And t never got home until four o'clock in the morning. I took my shoes off outside the -door and went in the back way. But they had changed the. furniture around, I guess, for I fell over a chair, the clock struck four, and out come pa. I said: "Sh, don't tell ma," ancj pa said: "You just leave it to me. So what did pa do but turn the clock back three hours, and then it struck! one. "What's that noise," , ma hollered,' "Oh, you're dreaming'," pa says. "What time i3 it?" says ma. "One o'clock," pa says. "Is Maggie in?" ma says. "Sure, she's in," says pa. So went to bed and pa got iip again and fixed the clock right and ma never knew anything about it. I tell you, pa's' a peach. He always stands by me like that.' " "Say, she knows how to work father all right, all right, don't she?" said" the bookkeeper, admiringly. High, Finance. A Buffalo man stopped a newsboy in New York, saying: "See here, son, I want to find the Blank national bank I'll give you half a dollar if you direct me to it." With a grin the boy replied: - "AH right, come along."v And he led the Buffalo man to a building half a block away. The man duly paid the promised fee, remarking: "That was half a dollar easily earned, son." "Sure!" responded the lad, "but yous mustn't fergit that bank directors is paid) high in Noo-Yawk."
