REPORTS from all tlie labor un ions in Hamilton and Middletowa indicate that we are going to have a fine parade and a splendid cele bration here Labor Day. The La bor day picnic Committee asked all union men to boost for the celebra tion, and boosters they are. The good work has brought results. Up to the present time more tickets have been sold than ever before and the boosters should be congrat ulated on their efforts to make the 1913 celebration-godown in history. A FEW days ago the writer over heard a conversation between a lo cal attorney and a prominent bttsi ness man about town regarding the many strikes which have occured in Cincinnati. The local attorney said that labor unions never know when they have enough. If you give them a raise in wages they want more and if they don't get it they strike, always wanting and wanting. We would like for the local attorney t* know that the la boring man is just like ail other people in wanting. He is unlike the attorneys in one respect he must make a fight for everything h« gets, or he will get nothing. The attorney a« a rule sets his own price for his work and if it is nec essary to get an increase in pay he simply tacks $10 more on his clients bill and the client pays it. Human nature the same the world over, Mr. Attorney, and the laboring man is no exception. As long as be is in want he will want, just like you. 9ms* mm WORLD OF LIBOR A large number of men and worn en, estimated at 5,000, members of the Ladies' Cloak and Suit Mak ers' Union of Philadelphia, are on strike. About 200 factories are affected. The strikers are demand ing higher wages and a betterment of working conditions. Ladies' Baby Dolls, White and Gun Metal. All shops at Perth Amboy, N. J. except the Federal, have entered into an agreement with the Brick, Tile, and Terra Cotta Workers, thus returning 1,300 out of 1,500 strikers to work. In some instan ces better conditions were secured than had been demanded. This is the first real victory in twenty ye irs for the men-employed in this industry in Amboy. At the semi annual meeting of the Board ®f Trustees of the Union Printers' Home in Colorado Springs it was decided that improvements to the amount of about $18,000 should be made. This sum will be used in construction of a two-story addition to the library wing of the main building. This addition will provide dormitories for additional residents. The Iron Mulders have secured a splendid settlement in Philadel phia. Conferences were held be tween repiesentatives of about thir ty foundries and representatives of the five local unions located here and an amicable agreement was reached. The minimum wage here tofore has been 83.25 for molders, which has been increased to $3.40. The rate for coremakers was $3.10, which also was raised to $3 40, thereby eliminating the differential in wages of molders and coremak ers. We give you 40 cents back. On any $2.50 Ladies' Low Cuts Wt give you 52 cents back A number of new laws afftcting labor were passed at the last session of the Iowa Legislature and have now gone into effect.

Story Qi etiiid Labor Washington, Aug. 15.—The children of 6,000 families iu all states of the Union are this week reading about the children who work in cotton mills, tenements, canneries, coal mines and glass fac tories. The story of child labor had never been written for children until the National Child Labor Committee prepared this latest number of the Child Labor Bulle tin in which "our warm friend Mr. Coal," the little boy's big medicine bottle, and other inanimate friends of well cared for children tell them the story of their lives. The only story for grown-ups in this number of the Bulletin is an account of conditions found in Georgia cotton mills last April by agents of the National Child Labor Committee. In Georgia children of widows and aged depended fathers are allowed to go to work at ten years old, but the law is so poorly enforced that iu many mills children of ten were found at work whose "widowed" mother had married again, or whose "aged, dependent father" was un der fifty and also at work. Geoigia is the only state in which children under twelve may legally work in factories and the legislature is now considering a bill to do away with this condition and raise the age limit to fourteen years in 1915. Fitters Win Victory. St. Paul, Minn, Aug. 15.—The Union Advocate says that tbe strike oi the union Stearnfitters, which has been on since July 1, has been settled with a victory for the strik ers. At a special meeting of the union it was reported that practi cally all the employers in the city had accepted the new wage scale and signed agreements and that practically every man belonging to the union was at work and the strike was therefore declared ended. A Sheriff's Duties. Washington, Aug. 15.—The Su preme Court of Pennsylvania held in the case of Shields vs. Latrobe Counellsville Coal a id Coke Com pany, that where a sheriff was em ployed by a coal company to furnish deputies and guard its property during a strike, and the sheriff's purpose in entering into the con tract was to secure a profit to him self, and not mere reimbursement for his expenses, such contract was void as agaiust public policy.

Colozubey. in bis history of duel ing, tells au anecdote of a certain noted duelist of bis time. Oue day this man. M. D.. was at Desenne's shooting gallery iu Paris watching the pistol practice. There was one man who was shooting very well and Desenne WHM threatened with the loss of all his glass balls and swinging do Us. Every shot was greet ed by the spectators with exclama tions of admiration. B. looked on for awhile, and finally, in a calm voice, made the remark. "He could not do as well on the field.'' The object of the slighting remark turned around, and in a loud and angry tone cried: "Who are you to say that? Would you like to test the %utb of your remark?" "Willingly," replied the unrecognised dentist as he led the way out to a secluded place. After taking their re spective positions, they drew lots, and it fell to B. to shoot last. He waited in silence for bis adversary's shot. The man fired—and uiissed. B. lowered his pistol. "What did I tell you?" he said, with a smile. Then, putting his pistol iu his pocket he walked away whistling. DAINTY TINY NESTS. Those of the Humming Bird Are About the Size of a Walnut. The most exquisitely dainty home built by the bill aud feet of birds is that of the ruby throated humming bird. When completed it is scarcely larger than an English walnut aud is usually saddled on a small horizontal limb of a tree or shrub frequently many feet from the ground. This dainty domicile is composed al most entirely of soft plant fibers, frag ments of spiders' webs sometimes be ing used to hold them in shape. The sides are thickly studded with bits of lichen, and practiced Indeed is the eye of the man who can distinguish it from a knot on the limb. Tbe eggs are the size of quinine pills. Although the humming bird's nest is exceedingly frail, there appears to be nothing on record to show that any great numbers of them come to grief during tbe summer rains. It is, how ever, not called upon for a long tenure of occupancy. Within three weeks after the two little white eggs are laid the young have departed on their tiny pinions.—Craftsman. Cold, Heat and Humidity. In hot weather less food Is needed there Is more blood in the internal organs, the skin acts more and the kidneys act less than in mild weather. In cold weather more food is needed the skin acts less aud the kidneys more. There is more desire for active ex ercise. Humidity reduces the actual heat of the air in summer, but increases its oppressiveness and makes people le thargic and relaxed. The perspiration does not evaporate and the pores get elbgged. In cold weather dry air leaves the body free to retain or give up its natural beat according to its needs, but moist air brings about a leakage of bodily warmth that is difficult to pre vent. Clothes will not do It. and wind Increases It. That is why we feel damp cold so much more than dry.— St. Louis Post Dispatch. An Arab Honeymoon. For seven days after the wedding the Arab bride and bridegroom are supposed not to leave their room. The bride may see none of her own family and only the women folk of her bus band, who wait on her. She remains in all her wedding finery and paint and does absolutely nothing. The bride groom generally slips out at night aft er three days aud sees a few friends privately, but be persistently hides from his wife's family, and should he by accident meet his father-in-law be fore the seven days are over he turns his back and draws his burnoose, or haik, over his face. This is their view of a honeymoon, and they grow as weary of it as any European couple do of their enforced continental tour.— Wide World Magazine. Appropriate. A Milwaukee man went to order a wedding cake the other day. "I'm getting married," he said, "and I want a cake." "Well, it's the latest thing," said the salesgirl, "to have wedding cakes In harmony with the bridegroom's calling or profession.

The captains of British war vessels are authorized by law to act as mar riage ••registrars," and the wedding ceremouy may, therefore, take place on the high seas or on board an English man-of-war on a foreign station, sub ject to certain prescribed modifica tions. These indicate that the legality of tbe marriage depends on tbe com manding officer's compliance with tbe conditions of the foreign marriages act of 1892, which, with very slight differ ences, conforms to the conditions as to age, consent of parents, false oaths, residence, etc., applying to marriages In the United Kingdom. Although uo one muy question a cap tain's authority to perform at sea the marriage ceremony or likewise to per form such service on board a British vessel on a foreign station, if any of the provisions laid down are not ful filled the secretary of state for the home department has the power by means of a warrant to vary or annul the marriage performed under the act. But in the case of such a marriage the captain who acted as "registrar" is pro tected from any disastrous conse quences ensuing from his act. Before the passage of the act of 1892 commanding officers of war vessels and merchantmen celebrated marriages on board under an old act. and tbe marriage was of necessity confirmed on arrival at tbe nearest port by the British representative there. Where there was no diplomatic or consular representative the captain was empow ered to act himself as consul and con firm his own deed. In the merchant service of Great Britain the skipper enjoys even greater power. He Is not obliged to return a certificate, the only compulsion on him being the necessity to "log" the mar riage in his official log book, where it may be entered between reports deal ing with the vessel's provisioning, her course, the weather encountered, the ships spoken and the many other de tails of the log.—Harper's Weekly. HUNTING A POET. n Shelley's Case It Was Fun, In Joa quin Miller's Dead Earnest. Mr. Stepheu Coleridge, great-great nephew of the Coleridge who wrote "The Ancient Mariner." has published a volume of "Memories." in which he tells some interesting anecdotes of poets not in the family. Both biB grandfathers were schoolmates of Shel ley, and one of them used to say that he had frequently joined in the diver sion known as a "Shelley hunt" This simple sport consisted in "chivying about" from refuge to refuge the too poetic youngster and in gleefully pelt ing him with whatever missiles came handy. A lesser poet than Shelley, however, the late Joaquin Miller was once more eagerly, if less hilariously, hunted. It was not, as "the poet of the Sierras" related it, a schoolboy affair, but a dead In earnest man bunt In the wild est and wooliest west, rie had had the misfortune to buy a sorrel horse from a man who had no right to sell the an imal. He was mistaken for tbe horse thief, pursued and overtaken. There was a convenient Cottonwood branching handily across the trail and iarlats in plenty. It was a question of his neck. He argued, explained and grew eloquent in vain, when at the most critical instant a witness to bis Innocent purchase of the beast came up. "He ain't n thief." the newcomer ex plained.

"Then," declared the self appointed judge with regret, "there's proof he ain't a thief, but only hearsay he's a poet. We got to let him go, but if he's got any sense he won't commit poetry agin till he's out of my jurisdiction." The Duke's Dinner. The Duke of Wellington was Prime* of Waterloo, though he never called himself so. and had many other titles, for which be once had to pay dear. He told a man to order dinner for him at a particular hotel, and the man did so, mentioning all tbe duke's titles. Presently the duke came and waited a long time. "Is tbe dinner not com ing?" he asked "why don't you bring the dinner?" "We are waiting." replied the waiter, "for the rest of the party." They bad prepared dinner for about twenty people.
