TTTTrTTT TTTTT TTtt TTTtTTTTT THE STATE CANNOT SETTLE INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES By WILLIAM H. BALDWIN, President of the Long Island Railroad S labor unions becomo more general and better or ganized there is more, conservatium, because) a better spirit is engendered between employers and the lead cm of labor. CAPITAL IS NOT OPPOSED TO LABOll ORGANIZATION; it is only opposed to some of its evil features. Tho disputes between cap ital and labor arc usually caused by somo misunderstanding based on some petty grievance badly represented by a labor union leader. Joint conferences between employer and employees are becom ing more common in this country. Such conferences frequently bring about a board of arbitration. The general tendency in Eng land and in this country seems to be toward COLLECTIVE BAR GAINING BY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE TWO PARTIES, and it is meeting with some success. Tho recognition of labor is essential to the success of this plan, but tho recognition of labor unions is not essential. The representatives of labor must, however, be ablo to compel the rest of tho workmen to comply with the agreemont, nun COMPULSORY ARBITRATION BOARD CAN COMPEL THE EMPLOYEE TO WORK OR THE CORPO RATION TO GIVE HIM WORK. THE PRINCIPAL LABOR ORGANIZA TION8 WILL ALWAYS OPPOSE THAT PLAN, IT SEEMS TO ME, A3 THEY CAN OBTAIN BETTER RESULTS THEMSELVES. THE STATE CANNOT STEP IN AND 8ETTLE I believe labor is learning its they aro becoming more ami nmro tendency to shift to the legislature the people seems to me very unwise. The unification of the inter ests of capital and labor and tho will come when we uso good common sense. AFROMINKNT MINISTKR REC OMMENDS CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC, CHOLERA AND DIAR RHOEA REMEDY. Rev.

At a country fair a free for all horse sho was organized. Among the early entries was a small beast, ridden by a voluble indmdual, who pulled from his pocket a long duoument and commenced to entertain the crowd by reading the pedigree of his steed, lie was Ihe center of atltuotioo until a eolored man rode in, mounted upon a splendid black large, glossy and symmetrical. Without wailing for an invitation from he rider the crowd soon gathered about the beautiful horse and many questions were asked, which the negro modestly answered, Soon the white man and his diminutive quadruped were left practi cally by themselves, and the rider found himself smarting from wounded pride. He wak'hed tho new arrival for a short time, aod then tode over. "Where is your horse's psdigree?" he roared. "I duoo, boss; I reckon he hain't got none. Hes desa plain hoss. "Oh, well, darn a horse without a pedigree!" shouted the disgruntled white man, and he swung the precious record of his own animal over his bead, pro claiming what it was and how long it was. Then he started to ride away. The negro looked at the little beast over his shoulder, rolled his eyes and retorted, "Yes, darn a hoss without a pedigree, is it? Well, darn a pedigree widout a host! Dat's whut I says." DEFINITIONS OF BIBLE TERMS. A gerah was a cent. A cab was three pints. An omer was six pints. A shekel of gold was $8. A firkin was Beven pints. A farthing was seven cents.

McDonald, a W leyan clergyman: It is related of this gentleman that in the days when he was courting the lady whom he afterward married, the father-in-law to be-an aged Methodist preacher with extremely strict notions in regard to the proprieties-was injudicious enough on one occasion to enter the parlor without giving any warning of his appreach. The consequence was that he found the sweet hearts occupying a single chair. Deeply shocked by this speotacle the old msn solemnly said: "Mr. McDonald, when I was cuurting Mrs. Brown she sat on one side of t h room and I on the other." McDonald's reply was: "That's what I should have done if I bad been oourting Mrs. Brown." Pitts burg Bulletiu. INVENTOR PRAYED FOR LIGHT. In a convetsation with Prof. S. V. B. Morse, tho inventor of the telegraph, a friend asked him this question: "Professor Morse, when you were mak ing your experiments yorHr in yr rooms in the university, did yn ever come to a stand, not knowing what to do next. "Oh, yes; more than once." "And at such limes, what did you do next?" "I may answer you iu confidence, sit," aaid the Professor, "but it is a matter of which the publie know nothing. When ever I eould not see my way clearly, I prayed for more light." "And the light generally came?" "Yes. And I may tell you that when flattering honors came to me from Amer ica and Europe on account of the inven tion whioh bears my name, I never felt I deserved them. I had made a valua ble application of eleotricity, not because I was superior to other men, but solely because God, who meant it for mankind must reveal it to some ooe, and was pleas ed to reveal it to me." In view of these faots, it is not sur prising that the inventor's first message waa.

THE CLEW THAT LEADS ONE BACK TO LOST FRIENDS AND FORTUNE IS NOT ALWAYS AN ACT OF PIETY rR AN UNCONSCIOUS VIRTUE. As Rev. Ilonry Bromley, a city mis sionary in Brooklyn, N. Y , was one day possiug through a dark hall in a tumble down tenement house, ho saw through n broken door a wouinn nnd throe children sitting ai a bare table, on which there was only a loaf uf bread. As he paused sn instant, nricntrd lY the evident indications of refinement in in quiet little group, they all bowed their heads aod repeated in oonceit: "God bless our going out, nor less , Our coming in and make them sure, God bless our daily bread, and bless . Whate'er we do, and whate'er endure; In death unto His peace awake us, And heirs of His salvation make us." The visitor's eyes were dimmed with teats as he made his way down the un certain stairs A few hours later, at a supper in the conference room of the church with which he was connected, he was called upon to "ask a blessing." With the scenes h the chamber of poverty fresh in his mind, he repeated Prince Albert's translation of a German hymn, as the poor woman and her chil dren bad done over their half-dime loaf; and afterward hs related the incident of the afternoon All the persons at the table lUtened with attention and interest, but a stranger in the city, who bad come in with a business acquaintance by what seemed the merest chance, was so im pressed by the story that he oould not keep silence. He approached Mr. Brom ley and inquired particularly as to the appearance of the family, and if they lived far away. "Oh no," said Mr. Bromley. "By a short cut, entirely familiar to me, we may reach them in a few minutes. If you wish to reach them in the way of benevo lence, we oan go after supper." "Let us go now," said the gentleman, "But allow me to explain." Long ago in a country home in Scot land, my grandmother taught my sister and myself to repeat that grace. The old grandmother died, tbo sister married when very young and went I know not where. "It is years since I lost sight of her, butalway8 in my owu American home I have the feeling that if my sister is living it is said in her home, also. May not this be a clew?" ''It may indeed" said the missionary and making their excuses, the two meu hurried away. The evening's entertainment was not over when Mr. Bromley returned and described what he had seen to the inter ested group around him. "It waa the roost remarkable mstnnce of God s cuiuinir hand 1 have ever known." said he. "The brother and sister recognized each other immediately It seems that the poor woman has been through all phases of poverty, from a de cent home to destitution in a garret. For a time Bhe forgot God, and ceased to say her grandmother's grace. 'It seemed mockery,' she said, 'when wo had so lit tie to eat.' But the words whate'er we do, whate'er endure, brought it back to her heart, and she resolved: "If God can bless what I endure, I will keep on saving the prayer.' " This purpose she followed, an in it found reason for inoreased faith in the Divine faithfulness and love. The clew that leads oo back to lost friends and fortune is not always an act of piety of ao "unconscious virtue;" but we are sure that a soul, however desolate that never forgets its duty to its con science and its God lives nearest to the Guiding Hand, Youth's Companion. A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC, CHOL ERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY CAN DO. "One of our customers, a highly res pected citizen of this place, had been for ten years a sufferer from chronio diar rhoea," writes Walden & Martin, drug eists, of Enterprise, Ala. "He had used various patient preparations and bee treated by physicians without any per manent benefit. A few months ago he commenced taking Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and in short time was entirely cared.
