BOOST Labor Day.
THE 21st annual Labor Day Cel
ebration will be the largest ever.
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.

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.

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.
Coney Island.
This will be some week at Coney
Islaud. The vaudeville show is
mighty good tbe joy devices are
excluding all sort off entertainment
the boats are carrying up and down
the river rn&ny thousands who are
seeking to escape the heat of the
city more than 300 members of the
Jr. O. of U. A. M. are in camp and
on Saturday there will be a sham
battle, and on Sunday, Irish Day,
there will be ballon races and par
achute jumps. And on the Irish
Day programme will be McGrath,
Shepard and Sheriden, Olympic
game winners, who are coming on
from New York to give an exhibi
tion of their physical prowess in
throwing weights and in speed
events.
Just a few more weeks, you know
and Coney will close for the season
and it will be wise to take advant
age of the remaining weeks. The
twenty-mile river ride and the joys
at Coney make positive a delightful
day.

Audaoioua Teat of a Marksman's Skill
In a Duel.
M. 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.—

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.—

MARRIAGE ON SHIPBOARD.
Authority Vested In Captains of Brit
ish Vessels.
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. "'He's only a poet"

leader of his captors remarked thought
fully after a disgusted pause. "Ever
hear any of his poetry? Ever see him
write any?"
"No," admitted the witness.
"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.
