It was reported to the allied trades council that City Treasurer Cox had ordered a lot of tax receipts from the only "rat" printery in the city in viO' lation of a resolution adopted by the city council. Treasurer Cox denies the statement emphatically. He says the receipts bearing the "rat" imprint were printed considerably more than a year a?o, and that he has not given any work to a "rat" shop since then. 'I got my last tax receipts at North's" said Mr. Cox, "and it was the best work of the kind I ever had. I'm send ing all my work to union shops, and uvi m ou forget it. merely had 'em so they would eat his hand. At any rate one of his "Mergs" balked the other day and then bit a chunk out of the second finger on his right hand. It was a bad bite, too, and Charley has been wearing the digit in antiseptic cotton ever since. , WISDOM AND WIT SECTION. "OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM." Every father and every mother, and every child able to read, should read Richard L. Metcalfe's new book, "Of Such Is the Kingdom, and Other Stor ies from Life." It is full of those little heart interest stories that en tertain while appealing to the best there is in the human heart. Mr. Met calfe, who is recognized as one of th leading newspaper men of the country, has written these stories without any attempt at "fine writin'," but 'et them down just as they came from his own big heart, and the plain morals of the stories are not made obtrusive. Rather is the reader left to draw them for himself. But the busy man, the work ingman or the housewife the father and the mother can take this volume, and for an hour or two revel in mem ories of the old, old days, ajid lay the book aside with a clearer idea of duty. Our word for it, if you read this book you will thank us for call ing you attention, to it. ' By the "Jap" in the New York Mc . chanic. ; Do it yourself.

Righter has worked around a 'Merg" so long that he thought he had 'em tamed so they would eat right out of his hand. This was a mistake. He UNFAIR. The Ladies' Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post are now; mak ing appeals for renewal of subscrip tions. The Journal and the Post are both printed in the unfair shop of t;he Curtis Publishing . Co., Philadelphia. The circllar appeal is also the result of "rat" labor. The union man ; who subscribes for" either of these publi cations is doing himself and the whole body of organized labor an injury. , It is illegal to boycott, but there is no law, compelling you to patronize your industrial enemies.
