THE CARPENTERS.
Complaint Made About a Firm Claim
ing to Be Fair.
It is well known to organized labor
that the Arm of Miller & Paine' has
been posing as the friend of organized
labor and freqnently so expressed
themselves in the past. In consequence
this firm received a large amount of
trade from organized labor. Frequent
expansions are necessary in the house
of Miller" & Paine to accommodate
such increased patronage.
It is a noteworthy fact that they em
ploy practically all non-union carpen
ters in the construction and expansion
of their plant. Miller & Paine are at
the present time making changes in
their plant that requires the employ
ment of a number of carpenters. Miller
& Paine, by their agent, called upon
our business agent and made a deal
for union carpenters and men were
held in readiness to perform said labor.

thus seek to humiliate the same after
long years of liberal patronage?

'LABOR SUNDAY."
Eight Thousand Presbyterian Minis
ters Will Observe it Next Week.
Just as Memorial Day and the sev
eral "birthdays" show our apprecia
tion of those who rendered patriotic
service", " and just as the churches'
"holy" days do honor to those who
have served' mankind spiritually, so
"Labor Sunday" should be observed
by the churches to honor the millions
of toilers who daily serve mankind in
the humbler places of life.
The Presbyterian Department of
Church and Labor called attention to
this last year, requesting the nearly
eight thousand Presbyterian ministers
in this country to preach on some
phase phase of the industrial problem
on the Sunday before Labor Day. The
response to our appeal was most grati
fying. A similar suggestion has gone out
from our office for the coming "Labor
Sunday," and already the indications
are that the matter will be taken up by
practically every Presbyterian minis
ter, besides a good many ministers of
other denominations.
This effort to popularize "Labor Sun
day," making it an annual affair, can
not but. result in great good to the
cause of the workingman. But in order
to make the plan most effective, work
ingmen themselves must co-operate
with the churches. I would therefore
suggest that wherever a minister takes
advantage of this occasion to preach
on the lubor problem, the workingmen
in his community turn out in force to
listen to his address. Wherever it is
possible, my suggestion would be that
either local unions or central, bodies
take official action, not only endorsing
such a movement on the part of the
minister, but that they resolve to at
tend the services in a body, previously
notifying the preacher to that effect.
On Sunday, September second, then,
the workingmen of this country have
an appointment to go to church. - I
shall be pleased to have any working
man write me just how the plan work
ed out in his city, addressing me at
153 La Salle Street, Chicago. Rev.

APPARENTLY ONLY THING THAT
COULD AROUSE SLEEPER.
Ordinary Noises of Household and
Terrific Thunderstorm Brown Slept
Through, But Insect Would
Not Be Denied.
Brown had forgotten to tell the
family that he intended to sleep late
in the morning. He had come in
tired and weary during the wee
sma' hours and was determined to
get his full night's 'rest if he stayed
in bed all day.
About half past 5 o'clock the maid
got up and through some perversity
of fate, started to scour her pots and
pans. But hard and harsh as the
sound wag it merely entered Brown's
dreams as from a great distance. He
sighed and turned over and, while
the goddess of the kitchen was still
banging away at her pans, he sank
once more back into deep, peaceful
slumber.
At 6 o'clock the Brown baby awoke
with a sputtering wail. Mrs. Brown
got up and attempted to quiet him,
but he only yelled the louder. The
baby had the colic! Somebody shqok
Brown, but he merely muttered, haf
opened his eyes, and then closed
them again. Mrs. Brown began to sob,
and the oldest boy was sent flying for
the doctor." The whole house was in
an uproai Meanwhile the baby
screamed and Brown slept peace
fully on.
At half past 6, when the family had
calmed down somewhat and the baby
had gone to sleep again, the alarm
clock, which Brown had forgotten to
fix, went off. It was one of those
startling and persistent affairs that
rings and rings and rings for five
minutes and then rings on some
more. As the thing-began to buzz
Brown peeped out of one eye at it.
Then he rolled over, pulled a blanket
over his ears and went back to
sleep.
At 7 o'clock there arose a terrific
thunderstorm. The wind blew and
the lightning flashed. . The baby
awoke again and began to yell. The
thunder rolled and " roared. Mrs.
Brown rushed about banging the
windows down and calling to the
servants. Brown moaned fitfully
for a minute or two, stretched his
feet out until they touched the cool

blanket down off his head and shoul
ders and sweetly proceeded to snore.
At 7:30 a tiny little fly fluttered in
at Brown's window and alighted on
Brown's nose. He stirred uneasily
and stopped snoring. The fly fluttered
away, flew around in a circle and
alighted again. Brown shook his head
and put his hand to his face. The lit
tle fly flirted about for a moment, lit
on Brown's fingers and crawled
through them to the attractive nose.
Brown opened his eyes and brushed
it off petulantly. It returned again.
Brown kept his eye open, shooed it
away and watched it rise toward the
ceiling. Back it came. Brown reached
out and grasped for it. It eluded him.
He grasped again. It flew tauntingly
back to the ceiling. He sat up in bed
and watched It approach nearer
nearer. At last it alighted on the
counterpane. Brown lifted his palm
and brought it down with tremendous
force. The fly was dead!
But Brown was wide awake now.
With a sigh he got up and began to
dress.
Means Pastured Deer.
Because the reindeer is a domes
ticated animal in countries where it is
most common and most important to
the inhabitants, many an American
reader has doubtless jumped to the
conclusion that the name refers to the
fact that the reindeer is driven like a
horse and Is really a deer used with
reins. The explanation of the name is
not so simple. Some authorities have
derived the word from tha German
"renn" and "thier," the former from
the word "rennen," to run; the. latter
being a general term applied to any
wild animal. It seems most probable,
however, that the real source of "rein
deer" is found in the Lapp word reino,
meaning 'pasture, and a Scandinavian
word meaning deer. The term, there
fore, is equivalent to "pastured," Or
domesticated deer.

Suspended from the ribs on cables

LIVED MANY YEARS ON POISON.
Wonderful Old Turk Told of by Cen
tury Old Journal.
There is now living at Constanti
nople a very extraordinary character,
known throughout that city by the
name of "Solyman, the eater of corro
sive sublimate," says a quotation from -the
Time3 of 1806. He is now 106
years old, and In his youth he accus
tomed himself, like all the Turks, to
take opium, but after increasing . the
dose to a great extent, without the
wished effect, he adopted the use of
sublimate, and had taken daily, for
upward of 30 years, 60 grains.
He some time since went into the
shop of a Turkish Jew, to whom he
was unknown, and asked for a drachm
of sublimate, which he diluted in a
glass of water and swallowed in an
instant. The apothecary became great
ly alarmed lest he should be accused
of poisoning the Turk, but his aston
ishment may be conceived when- the
next day the Turk came again and
asked for a similar dose.
Lord Elgin S. Smith and several
gentlemen now in England, continues

the happiness, he derived after swal
lowing that active poison was greater
than he experienced by any other
means.

Thomas Haywood, a homesteader
near Turtle Lake, Minn., sustained
serious injuries in a desperate battle
with a large eagle which had attacked
a calf. Haywood saw the eagle descend
into the clearing where the calf was
grazing and attempt to carry it away.
He rushed at the big bird with a club
and the eagle at once left the calf and
attacked Haywood.
The man was beaten into partial in
sensibility with heavy blows from its
wings, but managed to protect his
face by crouching on his hands fend
knees. Finally he hit the bird on the
head, knocking it to the ground.
