Composit ti on Love.
Love is a thing that makes
people think each other pretty
when nobody else does.
It causes two persons to be
awful quiet when you’re round,
and also quiet when you’ve not
round—only in a different way.
It also causes people to sit to-
gether on one end of a bench when
there’s a heap of mom on the
other end.
Nurfes has it andjsometimes po¬
licemen. ' That’s when they don’t
know where you are, and you have
lots of fun playing on the grass.
Husbands and wives has it, but
most generally lovers.
Old people don’t have much
’cause it has to be about dimples
and red cheeks and fluffy curls
and lots of things which old peo¬
ple don’t ever have.
When I grow up I’ll have to go
and love some one, I suppose.
Only she’ll have to let me say
what to do.
I’ve written all I know about it
till I do grow up. i

A Precius Job.
The business of the weather
bureau is to keep a careful record
of meteorological phenomena and
to note “probabilities.” This is
all it is expected to do in return
for the millions it receives.
“Meteorology” is at best only a
pseudo-science, There is no
ground for confident prediction
in its vague and constantly chang¬
ing data, and long forecasts of
the weather will not be made by
more scientific perons than the
compilers of almanacs until some-
one lias measured the influence of
the Japanese current, the spots on
the sun and the habits of the
groundhog.—Ex.

GIRL BATHERS SHOCKED
BAY STATE RESORT.
Band of Boston Women Rode Through Streets
UnO Sp'rfaiors Became Too Numerous.
A Brant Rock, Mass., specialsays:
A party of eight Roston girls, in
bright red bathing suits, perched
on an ice wagon, created a sensa¬
tion here Sunday and the indigna¬
tion among the villagers is even
greater than last year, when sum¬
mer girls in bathing suits went to
the postoffice for their mail.
The young woman, who are
spending the summer months in
Duxbury, started to walk here
yesterday afternoon. The suits
were cut on the latest pattern,
with red stockings and kid slip¬
pers with French heels and colered
shoestrings.
Tiie young women met an ice
wagon. They asked for a ride
and the iceman took them in.
They found seats on the canvass
that covered the ice, protecting it
from the sun, and proceeded to
make things lively for the iceman,
who was the object of many re¬
marks from persons whom he
met.
“How’d you like to be the ice¬
man?” yelled the small boys
along t die road.
Arriving here they drove
through the square, but the ice¬
man was given such a broadside
of remarks that he dumped his
fair load. The girls in red were
not to be dismayed, 4 4 Let’s have
some ice cream,” said one and all
pushed into the Ocean House.
As they ate their cream the
place filled with customers, The
girls iu the scanty bathing suits
drew trade as an old Brant Rock
fisherman draws perch from the
water of Hewitt’s Point, and the
business that afternoon was the
best of the season.
Two or three persons tried to
take snap shots at the young wo¬
men, but they would not allow
that. They were taken home
from here by a young man in an
express wagon. They refused to
disclose their names, but were
chaperoned by a Newtonville mu-
tron.

THE BATTLE KOVAL
5TR1K1NQ WORKERS TO MAKE
SUPREME EFFORT.
No Quarter Will be Asked Nor Will the As.
sociation Extend Any. President Shaffer
Consults with Federation Official.
Pitsburg, Aug. 4.—“Within a
week every union man and every
union man at heart in the employ
of the United States Steel Cor¬
poration will be asked to join in
the strike now being wage by the
Amalgamated Association, \V<
must settle whether unionism is
to stand or fall.
“There will be no more con¬
ferences with the r nited States
Steel Corporation unless the meet¬
ing is asked for by the officials of
that corporation. The Amalga¬
mated Association will not re¬
quest a peace meeting.”
These and several other signifi¬
cant statements were made to¬
night by Theodore J. Shaffer,
president of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, upon his return from
the fruitless conference with J.
Pierpont Morgan and others in
New York.
It is now a fight to the bitter
finish between the great billion
dollor steel trust and organized
labor.
NO QUARTER GIVEN OR EXPECTED.
Mr. Shaffer say- that he is
ready to employ every peaceable
means witlnu the power of man to
win a victory. ISjo quarter is to
be and none will be request¬
ed. The entire management of
the battle has been placed in the
hands of President Shaffer. He
has absolute power to call out
every man who is connected with
the organization and lie intends
to do it. He is satisfied with the
progress of the fight to date. He
finds that none of his battle lines
has been broken. Promise is
made by Mr. Shaffer that the
trust will find that the Amalga¬
mated Association has strong
roots in many of its mills.
Mr. Shaffer, Secretary Wil¬
liams, B. I. Davis, M. F. Tighe
and John Campbell of Wellsville,
ca me in from New York over the
Baltimore and Ohio road at about
o’clock this evening. They
were expected by the Pennsylva¬
nia, but Mr. Shaffer enjoys mys¬
tery, and his chief pas0me now
is eluding reporters. The presi¬
dent and his advisors did not ap¬
pear to be the least cast down.
In answer to aquerry regarding
the number of mills that can be
closed President 'Shaffer said :
C 4 I am of the opinion that every
one of them can be closed, We
have some great surprises in store
for the trusts. The men have
been organized in some of their
their mills that they never dream¬
ed could bo touched. We have
the sympathy of the workmen,
and they will not throw any straws
in the way of our absolute vic¬
tory.”
Mr. Shaffer said that the stories
that Mr. Morgan had been ugly
<i ur i u g the conference mi Saturday
were untmc . He said the gentle-
m£>n had beeu courte ;)UH and busi-
]ike throu „ hout the entire
6 ’ e had lost his
temper it was after the adjourn-
merit of the gathering.
Are you afraid of southern ne-
grdes being brought in to
the strikes?”
NO FEAR OF NEGROES.
“Not in the least. The
of the south are thoroughly
nized. We have not been
looking that detail. They make
the best kind of union men.
800 colonel men brought from
south to assist in starting
plant of the Latrobe Steel
pany, in Chicago, were all
bers of the union. When
discovered what was wanted
them they returned to
homes. 1 5
Reverting to the failure of
strike settlement Mr. Shaffer said :
L 4 No explanation was offered
the company for their refusal
grant any better terms or to
sider the propositions of
Amalgamated Association in
form. They seemed to have
up their minds suddenly to
no consideration to the men
would not vary from this
nation.
“Don’t blame Mr. Morgan for
all this,” said Mr. Shaffer as he
went on. 4 4 Mr. Morgan knows
absolutely nothing about the true
conditions of the mills except as
he is told by others. He has their
word and is guided by it entirely.
1 believe that Mr. Morgan is a
fair-mined man and is only acting
on liis judgement based on infor¬
mation of others whom he looks
to. I am aware that there is a
hidden influence in the corporate
body of the Udited Slates Steel
Corporation that has been work-
ing against us. What I mean is
that it is hidden to -the public,
but not to us. We are fully aware
of the location of our enemies.
We went to New York wanting
peace. We did everything that
we knew how to bring about peace
honorably, In every effort we
failed. We can do no more than
fight for our existence until either
the trusts asks for another con-
ference or we are extirpated.”
Secretary Williams was not dis¬
posed to discuss the situation at
such great length as his chief,
He did have this to say, however:
“All possibility of settlement
of the difficulty appears to
lie at sin end.
“We carefully consider the
proposition oi the trust, It was
decided that the terms were such
that we could not accept, To ae-
cept would have meant practical ly
the disruption of our organiza¬
tion. We could not have agreed
and returned to face the men we
represented. ]
“It is now a case of fight,
think 1 he contest will be the great¬
est industrial battle the world has
ever known, 1 am thorough!)
convinced that we will win the
victory.”
REFUSAL ONLY ALTERNATIVE.
“As anxious as the members of
the executive board of the Amal-
gamated Association wme to -<■!-
tie the present steel workers strike,
their refusal to accept the terms
of Mr. Morgan was the only alter¬
native left them with the last
moment. From the association
side to have agreed to the propo-
sition that would have declared
of the hoop combbie mills now
idle as non-union would
meant the desertion of the
sands , of c workmen , who , were ein-
ployed in them and who
ed and came out on a strike
NUMBER 33.
the trouble began, To have de¬
serted these men now would have
been the death blow of the orga-
n hat ion and it would have died in
dishonor. To fight the trusts in
an honorable bat t ie with a good
chance to win, moans at least a
chance for life, but if heat en, a
demise of the Amalgamated Asso-
c in I ion with honor.”
“This was the xplanation of
\ ice President Reese oftheAmal-
gamated Association, who return¬
ed from New York today after at¬
tending the conference there with
t he officials of the United States
Steel Corporation.
Concering the actual strike
status in this city, there seems to
be little or no change. The mills
on strike are still idle, with no
indication of an attempt by the
combine to start, any of the plants.
No fires are being started and the
only evidence of work about any
of the plants is that of men mak-
ing necessary repairs, The ro
seems to be no concern among the
the strikers at the failure of the
late conference, and all semi be¬
lieve the men will stand by the
association to the end.
The relations between the edi¬
tor ami his readers have often
been discussed. They are, how¬
ever, by no means as important
as the relations between the editor
and his wife, which the Bain-
bridge Democrat defines as fol¬
lows: “The editor ami his wife
disagree with each other very
materially. She sets things to
rights and he writes things to set.
She reads what others write and
ho writes what others read. She
keeps the devil out of the house
as much as possible and detains
him and could not go to press
without him. She knows more
things than he writes and he
writes more things than she
knows.
A Long Island justice has decid¬
ed that to send a worthless pack¬
age by express to a person, requin¬
ing the recipient to pay charges,
comes under the head of petty
larceny and is punishable as such.
In the case the justice decided,
one man had sent by express a
worthless package to another as a
joke. The express cluxrgo was
thirty-live cents. The man who
got the package couldn’t see any¬
th ing funny in the business, and
complained to the magistrate, who
entered a charge of petty larceny
and extortion, and fined the joker
$5 and costs.
