was apparent at the session of the
Federation of l.ahor here. The claim
is made that undue pressure is helm;
brought l>\ the manufacturers of the
country against organized labor to the
detriment of the latter. The manu
facturers combat this in a statement
made by .1. \V. Van Cleave, presl
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers, that the object of his
association is to put laborers on a
basis whereby they may be held re
sponsible for their contracts.

Cavalrymen Turned the Tablee on
Blue Clad Hoete.
A Jack tar from one of Uncle Sam’s
battleships who was on a recent visit
to \\ ashtngton related In a conversa
tion with a Star reiHjr*e»* an amusing
story of how several cavalrymen of
the t tilted States army turned the
tables on himself and several other
Bailors, while the battleship was sta
tioned at Havana, Cuba.
The sailors, who are up to all kinds
of tricks, were on shore leave one day,
and Invited a number of the cavalry
men to take a sail with them. This
struck the fancy of the army men, but
before the trip was half over every
one of them hud become seasick, much
to the amusement of the sailors, who
hail a good, hearty laugh at their
gueKts expense. l’|>ou returning to
•be shore the soldiers thanked them
for their trip and returned to their
Quarters.
A few days later the cavalrymen
Journeyed out to the battleship and In*
'Ited the sailors who had been so
kind as to give them a sail to take a
horseback ride about the Island. The
sailors consented at once. It devel

the army horses follow tho leader as a

on a flue steed at once stuck his spurs
Into his horses sides, and he dashed
off at full speed. Tho others, on
which wore the sailors, followed in a
line. I his pace was kept up for about
five miles, at the conclusion of which
each sailor was either holding on to
the saddle or had his arms about the
horse's neck.
Tho sailors returned to their ship
In the afternoon, but all were so tore
from their horseback ride that they
could hardly stir from their hammocks
the next day. The cavalrymen came

Economical Senator Clark.
Rich as is ex-Senator William A.
Clark of Montana, he indulged In vart
oils economies while in Washington
which attracted considerable atten
tion. Late one uight when it was rain.
Ing cats and dogs Clark entered a
car. his umbrella dripping und the
bottoms of his trousers soaked. Sev
eral passengers knew Clark and be
gan speculating about what they
would do If they had his money.
"A carriage for mine on a night Ilka
this,” observed one.
"A steam yacht to navigate the
streets," remarked another.
"I would do exactly what Clark has
done," said a third. "A cab would
cost f>0 cents. My trousers could be
pressed in the morning for a quarter.
A street car ticket costs 4 1-3 cents
There is a clear profit of 20 2 3 cents,
and that to a millionaire means some

W e beg to announce that on January ist we consolidated with
tlie Bluestone Publishing.Company and removed our plant to No. 55

least three fold, and with the same force of workmen, added to the
force of the Bluestone Publishing Company, we are well prepared to
take care of orders. Mr. Kitts will continue to make estimates and
look after office details and Mr. boland will superintend printing as
heretofore. Any order heretofore given Kitts Printing Company

Every new congress brings to
Washington the meanest man 1q
C hristeudoin. A western senutor ar
raivged last summer for the construc
tion of a barn.
I want the work done us econom
ically as possible,” he told thu car
penter. "It will save money, won't it,
to drive one nail instead of two into
each board?”
"Yes,’’ was the reply. “Hut the barn
won't be as strong.”
That's all richt,” responded the
thrifty senator, "you go ahead with
the work, using one nail in each
board.”
When the carpenter finished the
senator used a Western Union frank
to call his secretary to his home "to
do some work which had accumu
lated." Upon the latter's arrival he dis
posed of a number of letters and then
said:
"Here are four pounds of nails. (
want you to drive an extra nail In
every plank in that barn.”
As the government pays the salaries
of senators' secretaries it is readily
apparent that the western economist
saved something in having him in
stead of the carpenter drive the
requisite number of nails into the
bam.
