A story is told of President Eliot, of Harvard, when addressing an audi ence not entirely composed of "col lege graduates. at the dedication of the Longfellow memorial in Cam bridge, Mass. It seems he could not resist the temptation to refer to his favorite hob by, "The Condemnation of Labor Unions. While leading up to a climax on this theme the effect was spoiled by an Irishman shouting: "Where would tbe workingmen of this country be if it wasn't for the unions?" - The speaker, with a benevolent smile, condescendingly remarked: "It is evident that our Celtic friend is a union man." Pat replied: "That I am, and so was me father before me and me grand father, too." "But. Pat. the noted educator asked. "what would you have been if your forefathers were college men?" "Begorra. Fat answered, I guess I d be a jackass, too. The Labor Ad vocate. WE'LL SEE LINCOLN. The portrait of Lincoln will be placed upon the new silver half dollar, the portrait of Cleveland on the new $10 gold certificate, and the portrait of Grant on the new $50 gold certificate. Well see Lincoln fairly often. Cleveland once in a long while, but as for Grant, well probably hear a rumor about him occasionally. LINCOLN'S WARNING. The candid citizen must con fess that if the policy of the government, upon vital ques tions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court the people will have ceased to be their own rulers. Abraham Lincoln. GET A COPY. The twenty-second annull report of the commissioner of labor, Washing ton, D. C, 1907, entitled. "Labor Laws of the United States, has just been issued. This book is supposed to con tain all labor laws of the several states and the federal laws as well. The report can be had by applying to either of your senators or your con gressmen. We advise every union to THE TOBACCO WORKERS. How would you like to forfeit your little home and go to jail for the hein ous offense of refusing to work under intolerable conditions? Unless re versed, the supreme court decision in the Danbury hatters' case will lead to just that. Think a bit. Western Laborer. FOUR ESSENTIALS TO HEALTH OF SCHOLARS. By George E. Johnson, Supt. F-l ay ground Ann, PHtsborg. . Of the four essentials to the health of tlie school boj r girl foot, air, sunshine and exercise the last three are furnished bj the public play ground, and only by the playground. The world has not yet ceased to marvel at the results of the Greek learning, that learning which pran tip in a city which, when it had enoujrfc money to build either a school or playground, chose the latter. The education nearest to the Greek to-day is that supplied by the public playground. CLEVER STUNT. David H. Manrose, a union painter and decorator, is putting on a clever stunt of painting at Dreamland this week. His "upside down" painting al ways wins loud aplause. The act is unusually clever and Is well worth see ing. He shows the label, too. ISNT IT THE TRUTH? This fulsome praise of Grover Cleve land really dates from the time when an act of treachery was accepted as a political asset. Washington Trades Unionist. Poor Health Drives Farmer to Suicide. W. C. Claxcn. 42 years of age, a prominent farmer living near Louis burg, committed suicide Friday. He placed a shotgun against his head and pulled the trigger. His whole head was blown off. He had Len in poor health for some time and this-is thought to be the reason for his kill ing himself. Load of Corn Broke Boys' Log.

His leg was broken and he receivec some injuries about the head, necessi tating several stitches to be taken in the same to draw the wounds together. The forty-fourth joint .ballot for the election of a United States senator in Illinois showed no quorum. A. Third The Man-Woman a jpi Creation of the SeX Twentieth Century By LADY VIOLET G SEVILLE. rillMlBll EatfUsfk Wi Wrttor. ACII sex has its out distinsruishins niialitv. Man has strength El and virility; woman, sweetness ami virtue. It ha been re- fn- i v. . ri in i , , a , u , l II, m lifiiu n , III. Mr woman. The quality of fentininty, da ewig weiulkrhe, seems to be dying out. and a new race of women, who contemn it x-vi imitate the worst kind of man in their love of brutality and violence, is rising up amongst us. Sympathizers with this new third sex, man-haters and marriage-despiseTS, "Amazon who feed on flesh and know not men," are in the habit f declaring; that their independence of view is inspired by advanced edu cation and the spread of learning, totally oblivions of the fact that, a far back as mediaeval times, women were learned, with a solidity of knowledge which is rare now. Why have we evolved this curious phenomenon, tlie third sex girl who are determined to be and remain baelielors. forgetting that men tire of solitude and take to themselves mates for comfort and consolatioii? We have arrived, no doubt, at an era of transition; the struggle and com petition of life is fiercer than ever before; but, granting this, a pirit roams abroad which has nothing to do with competition. It is the mot-kin spirit, the spirit of doubt and cynicism, the spirit of Mephwtophek. ilitfierto women were the peacemakers, the blessed creature to whom men weary with toil and disappointment turned for love and refreshment. The ideal of home was rest and comfort. Xow, on tlie contrary, it w the woman who has grown restless, who must ever lie gating, whether intent on work or amusement, who denies, scoffs, sneers, and assert herself- The question to be faced is, will the feminine element in woman disappear in the future? Fierce competition, reckless rivalry, public- work, platform speaking, incessant strain and excitement must inevitably cluirpr and" harden a woman's nature. While, as man will still remain the stronger, a taint of bitterness and disappointment must warp and destroy the sweet :-erenity of the sex. If life is to become a mere scramble for money and liberty, womer. at ayed against men, bitter rivals, keen antagonists, one fears that woman, handicapped by physical disabilities, will inevitably go to tlte wall.
