I V A COLUMBIA rSSraSI Here is a perfectly safe gasoline, stove. It can't ex plode. It bums gasoline, kerosene or alcohol with perfect results. Something new something worth having.

The only way for man and woman tt set better wages; is through the trades union system of organization. Trades unionists who receive fair vases are enabled to furnish better homes. Better homes make better wtmen. Better women make the bote world better. "The trades unionist can afford to. and does, send his children to school tanger. Well educated children make better citizens. "The world has been made better by the trades union movement. "-It is the duty of every woman to oc all that she can to assist the workers to organize, whether they be male or female. Every woman who works in any gainful occupation should be a member of the union of her craft. In doing so, she is Brst helping herself morally, materially i.d intellectually; second, doing her share to make the world mora attrac tive, and the better, worth living. "Every time a woman does some thing to encourage the use of union labels she is working directly in her own interests. -Every time a women does any thing to strengthen the trades union taovenient she strengthens and forti fies her own position for better social and economic surroundings." George . Perkins, President International Cisarruakers' Union. STILL SLEEPING. Every week The Wageworker man picks up the St. Joseph Union and reads of the doings of the Street Rail way Employes Union of that city. Then be takes a street car for home and bands bis fare to a conducto who hasn't got sand, enough to help organize a union, and is hauled borne by a motorman who works for less wages than any other motorman in a city of similar size in the country. Lincoln street railway employes who ought to have one of the largest and strongest unions in the city are ab solutely unorganized, and they show r& disposition to organize. Perhaps they are satisfied with their long Incurs and low wages. "NONE OUT THE DI.AVE " Elfie Drysdale was a peach. Put her in a bottle, and label her From California." and you couldn't have told her from the marvelous prod- Tic t of the land of sunshine, fruit and flowers. There are not many like Elfie. She had been admitted to the third de gree of the Order of Man Killers. She did things with her eyes that old ladies disapproved, and she did them well, she did them so that it hnrt for about three months, and then healed. Soft eyes and soft hair had Elfie. and, as we approach tbe footlights and speak with a fitting quaver while the orchestra sympathizes in G-fiat, let ns state that her mouth was the kind you'd bite your way through 11 miles of dense, tropical jungle to kiss. and she had the figure of a thousand dollar banknote so fine a figure tbat her princess gown made no bones about showing it off upon every pos sible occasion. So much for Elfie. Too much, per haps, for she was too much for al most everyone save Tommy Spind- Ucker. And even Tommy bad Elfie pretty bad. The minute she gave him tbe high-stepping handshake, it was all up with Tommy. Then they went at it. Xow, Tommy had seen girls be fore, and be knew the game. Violets he knew in midwinter, and five-pound boxes of chocolates, and cabs and theater tickets. But. curiously enough, sncb expenditures failed to capture her. Elfie bad her chamber wall pa pered with love letters, and what she didn't have time to read she gave to er French maid to answer. Tommy bought a 54 horse power auto, raised a Vandyke beard, wrote for tbe magazines, bad a scandal with a show-girl but it was no use. Elfie's pose was still tbe patronizing affable, and she refused to discuss personali ties. Tommy went and bad appendicitis and Jungle fever, but even this tailed to interest Elfie. An old man in whom h confided told bim to neglect ber. Tommy tried it for a week and Elfie didn't seem to mind it a bit. She bought a new bat and went to the-opera with a boy of IT. Then Tommy made a pilgrimage to the far east and engaged a prayer wheel in an old Buddhist temple, geared it to a gas engine, and let it run tor 40 days. At tbe end of that time bis plea was answered. He ar rived at bom Just as Elfie's engage ment to a divinity student was an nounced. Tommy waited till the eve of tbe wedding. Tbat night, with four of bis frater nity, masked and with false mus tache, be tell upon Elfie as she was coming bom from church, thrust her into a cab. and drove ber to a lonely vacant bouse in tbe suburbs. Here tbe divinity student was waiting, bound band and foot. Elfie's screams had been muffled in a medicated veil, and when she came to ber senses Tommy was in a dress suit. The four members of bis fraternity supported her vigorously. "Wilt thou have this man Tommy to be thy husband?" tbe divinity stu dent muttered tearfully, prodded from behind with a bat pin. "I will!1 Elfie exclaimed in a firm voice. Notice of Adoption. In re adoption No. SSI of "John Ed ward" in the County Court of Lancas ter County, Nebraska.

Did I do it all rightt asked Tommy, tenderly, when tbe guests had depart ed and i hey were enfin senles. -It was perfect!" she murmured, smacking her wonderful Hps. Then she grew calmer. "There ia no girl in tb whole world," she said, slowly, "who doesat simply long to be abducted. A hur ried marriage is better than nothing, an elopement is good enough, but to be run away with against one's will why. Tommy, Joan of Arc would count it an honor! Why do men know so little when It is so easy?" A Memorial Ston. Upon the question of repairing a pavement at Swanger being raised it was elicited at a meeting of tbe urban council that one of the stone was used by Jndge Jeffreys for tb Bloody Assize, several of the condemned prisoners being hanged on the gallows from the stone, which bad been taken from its original position and placed in tbe pavement about 50 years g Tbe council readily consented to band it over to a gentleman who desired to restore tbe atone as near as possible to Its original position, so tbat it might be preserved as a memorial not of Judge Jeffreys, it was ex plained, but of tbe "delightful times in which some of our forefathers lived." London Chronicle. .Continued Evaporation. "Look here. said the indignant lady customer, "I bought a pound oT evap orated peaches of you yesterday and when I got home I discovered that I only bad about three-quarters of a pound. How do yon account for it? "Oh, I gave you a full pound, all right," answered tbe grocer, "but I suppose they evaporated some more on your way home." To Be Pitied.
