seen that his general attitude was one
of dejection.' Halfway down to his
gate Mrs. Bowser could see the care

foot of the steps she realized that he
must bave got word that all his broth
ers and slaters were dead. He was
passing by her to enter tbe bouse, with

"Have you lost a large amount of

She looked at him suspiciously and
led the way down to the dining room
and then started In to tell him that tbe
police had arrested four boys that
afternoon for playing ball in the street.
"Yes, but what do four boys and tbe
police amount to?" he walled out
"Mrs. Bowser, every day around us
men and women are dropping dead
and being borne to their long home."
"But that Is what we all expect," she

the house half an hour ago. I wish you

f "y oli mother died do you
' think I want to hear about dog fights?
; Yes, she-she died."
j "But you were only four years old
then, and you are forty-eight now."
J ' Misses His Mother.
"It doesn't make any difference. My
poor mother was called home. I can't
go to see her, and she can't put ber lov
ing arms around my neck and call me
ber cherub, as she used to. Had a con
gestive chill and passed right away.
And my father Is dead, too, and my
brother Jiui Is dead. I tell you there's
grief and sadness abroad In the land."
Mrs. Bowser looked, at him for a full
minute across the fable and sniffed at
the atmosphere suspiciously and then
said:
"I'm sorry about your father 'and
mother and your brother Jim, but of
course you couldn't expect them to keep
right on living. I have lost my own fa
ther and a sister, as you must know."
"Then why ain't you sad? What are
you talking about butchers and dog
Bgbts for? Here we sit In the best of
health and surrounded by happy lnflu-
ences, and not two blocks away there
are houses or mourning. I ten you,
Mrs. Bowser I tell you" .
Bot before be could tell ber she rose
' op from the table, and he followed her
opatalr. She wanted to do something
to effect a change In blm. and she be
gan to play with tbe cat, but after tak
ing two or three turns acroaa tbe floor
be said:
"And my slater Mary la dead, and my
Uncle Jim, and my Cousin Betty yes,
dead and gone. I don't a'poee I could
find their gravestones If I set ont to
look for them dead and gone, and you
are playing with that blamed old yaller
cat aa If nothing had happened."
She Refuaaa to Mourn.
"But what do you want me to dot
she retorted. "Is It going to bring the
dead to life if I sit down and weep?"
"Hark to that!" he exclaimed after
I moment and without having an
swered her question. "There is a ped
dler sboutins 'Watermelons!' at the
top of his voice! Just bear blm!"
"Why, you have heard him every
evening for days and days. He has
got watermelons to sell. Probably
nine out of ten of them are as green
as grass, but let blm sell them If he
can. The more cholera morbus the
better for the drug stores and doctors."
"But the cry goes right to my heart,'
protested Mr. Bowser. "My poor fa
ther died after eating a watermelon
and my Uncle Jim because be hadn't
any teeth to eat one with. Tbe ped
dler knows it and is hollering to add
to my grief."
"Don't be childish, Mr. Bowser. The
man doesn't even know who lives here.
Did I tell you that I wanted to get at
my housecleanlng next month?"
! "And now he's yelling 'Oooseber-
rles!'"
i "Well, let him yell."
"But I tell you he knows that BoW'
1 ser lives here, and he wants to spite
1 me by adding to my grief. It was
gooseberry tarts that killed my sister
Mary and plain gooseberries that
! killed my cousin Betty. Betty ate four
i quarts of 'em right down and next day
was no more."
"I don't wonder at it But let's talk
, about something more cheerful. Do
you think tbe next congress Is going to
' take up tbe tariff question?"
j Stirrad Up by a Song,
j Mr. Bowser might or might not have
, answered tbe question, bat before he
could get around to it a hired girl In
the next back yard who was taking
J clothes off the Una commenced singing
i at the top of her voice:
"In Scarlet town, where I waa born. ,
There was a fair maid dwelling.
And arte waa known both far and near
Aa lovely Bar-bara Allen."
"Great snakes, but must I submit to
this?" groaned Mr. Bowser as he start
ed up. "Here I come home loaded
down with grief and sadness, and a
peddler must yell "Watermelons!" and
'Gooseberries'' at me from tbe front
and a hired girl must warble a song at
me from the back!"
"But have patience," counseled Mrs.
Bowser. "These people know nothing
of your sadness. See, the peddler has
driven on and tbe girl has stopped
singing. Let me ask you a question,
please. Did you partake of any fall
tonic today?"
"And my sister died after eating
gooseberry tarts r he murmured as he
Wiped his eyes anew.'
"Answer my question. Did you bave
any fall tonic this afternoon? Did any
one recommend a tonic to take your
grief sway?"
"Y-e-s, just a little tonic. It was for
soy lame back. I took about a table
spoonful." "Um! I thought so."
"And It has made me sad s-a-d."
- "I see. Well, let me pot you to bed,
and you'll wake up In the morning
feeling all right."
"And I won't be sad no more?,,
"Not a sad. Ton won't even remem

your slater. Come on."

LADOR LEADERS
WITH PRESIDENT
Important Questions Dis
cussed at White House.
PLEA FOR BILL OF RIGHTS
dome of the Guests Urge That Con
gress Define Courts Powere of In
junction and Modify the Sherman
Antitruat Law They Alao Want
Status of Labor Organisations In
Strikes More Clearly Established.
Massage May Show Effect ef Sug
gestions. Washington, Nov. 18. Subjecting his
guests, who were representatives of
many of the leading labor organisa
tions of this country, to a rapid cross
nre of questions, President Roosevelt
at the dinner given by him at the
White House endeavored to find out
what labor wants from congress and
in what way be can be of assistance
to the toilers of the country.
While the president did not commit
himself to any of the propositions sub
mitted by the various labor leaders
present, he sought a full expression of
sentiment from all of them. Labor's
attitude on various questions was out
lined, and the president listened wlta ;
Interest to each argument presented.
Tbe president was not alone In his
questioning, Justice Moody, Secretary
TERENCE V. POWDERLT.
Oscar 8. Straus and Secretary Jaraei
R. Garfield frequently asking ques
tions of some of the captains of labor.
The general Impression prevailed to
day among tbe labor leaders that the
president's message to congress , will
show some of the results of tbe conference.-
-, - ' tf
The labor lenders talked wrthout res
ervation and reiterated their pronounc
ed attitude on some Issues to which
congress has in the past turned aa
unwilling ear. ' w
What seemed most significant of all,
both to the president and other gov
ernment official present, was the sug
gestion that congress should pass a
bill of rights into which all labor leg
islation should be Incorporated and
should create a publicity board whose
purpose would be to investigate and
make public the details of controver
sies betwten capital and labor.
The plea for a bill of rights waa
made by P. H. Morrissey, grand mas
ter of the railway trainmen, while th
publicity board idea was advanced by.
T. J. Dolan, general secretary-treasurer
of tbe International Brotherhood
of Steam Shovel and Dredge Men.
Although many of the speakers voic
ed tbelr opposition to the boycott an
sympathetic strike propaganda, they,
urged that congress should better de
fine the Injunctive power of the courts,
and they asked for a modification of
both this law and the Sherman anti
trust laws. They slao wanted con
gress to define the exact status of la
bor organizations in strikes and wheth
er they should be permitted to "so
licit peacefully."
The labor hosts were represented by
Terence V. Powderly, ex-president of
the Knights of Labor; Warren 8.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers; John J.
Hannahan, grand master of tbe Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen; W. 8.
Carter, grand secretary and treasurer
of tbe Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen; P. H. Morris ey, grand mas
ter of Railway Trainmen; T. J. Dolan,
general secretary-treasurer of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Steam
Shovel and Dredge Men; A. L. Faulk
ner, president of tbe National Window
Glass Workers; David Mackay, presi
dent of the building trades, organisa
tion, and John J. Towers, secretary
treasurer of the New Tork state coun
cil of carpenters.
Others present were George Alger
and Robert P. Bell, attorneys for ths
Itbor anions: Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott,
Commissioner Charles P. Nell! of ths
federal bureau of labor and Commis
sioner E. E. Clark, formerly grand
chief conductor of the Order of Rail
