Vesper, the Buick dealer in Dallas, Texas, formerly en- gaged in the implement business in Minneapoliis.

Statement by Railway Companies. St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 27th, 1909, The Hon. Adolph O. Eberhart, | State Capitol, St. Paul. My dear sir: In response to the invitation from your Excellency, representatives d(of the thirteen Twin City Lines, ! | whose switchmen are now on strike, attended a meeting at the Capitol building on Thursday, December 23rd. ) Inopening the meeting, your Ex- cellency recommended to the repre- B | sentatives of the railways andto the representatives of the switchmen, a basis of settlement as follows: That it had been brought to your atten- tion that a conference between representatives of certain railways in Chicago, and representatives of X | their switchmen was now being held to consider proposals for increases in wages and changes in working conditions, and that the matters under consideration there were similar to those presented to the representatives of the Twin City Lines, and that in the opinion of your Excellency, if the representa- tives of the Twin City Lines would agree to apply the provisions of whatever settlement might be reached through the Chicago con- ference to the switchmen employed upon the Twin City Lines and re- employ as far as possible the men who left the service of these lines on November 30th, such a settlement would be fair and equitable. The representatives of the rail- ways then withdrew to consider your Excellency’s proposals, and accepted them in a written statement, which was handed to you, and which is here quoted: “A conference between representatives of the railways in the Chicago district and representatives of their switchmen is now in progress for the purpose of determining a scale of wages and the establish- ment of working conditions for that district. The rates of wages in the Chicago district and in the Minne- sota cities for switchmen have been identical and the working conditions similiar, “The representatives of the Twin City Lines, in conference this date, have confirmed, by a majority vote, the report to your Excellency, that those roads represented will agree to re-employ such of their former yard employes as the roads may have places for, at the rates of pay and under the working condi- tions in effect November 1st, 1909, and that, at the termination of the Chicago conference, the lines here represented will meet any additions in rates of pay or working condi- tions that may be granted by the Chicago Lines to their switchmen, and that, as heretofore announced, the differential of two cents per hour in the wages of switchmen will apply in the territory, Billings and West on the Northern Pacific Rail- way, and in the territcry Havre and West, on the Great Northern Rail- way.” . Itis the understanding of the rep- resentatives of the Twin City Lines that the matter of re-employing the switchmen, who voluntarily left the service of the Twin City Lines on November 30th, requires further explanation. With every wish to meet any sug- gestions made by your Excellency, and with the natural desire of em- ployers “to help: worthy men who gave up their positions and who should be at work for the support of their families and themselves, the representatives of the Twin City Lines submit that no hardships should be imposed, nor any injustice permitted, to the large number of present employes in yard service, who are in no way responsible for the present situation, When the former yard employes of the railways voluntarily gave up their positions on November 30th, after refusing the offer of the rail- roads to arbitrate and be bound by the arbitration award without appeal, the refusal being ‘made in the follow- ing language in a letter signed by Mr. Hawley, and dated November 23rd: “The committee begs leave to state that it will not sulmit to arbitration under any circum- stances,” it became necessary for the railroads to promote many of the men who remained in the service, to transfer some from other branches and to employ many new men in order to perform their duty to the public, to the other employes and to the owners of the properties. As large emyloyes of labor under wage agreements, the .Twin City Lines would not be justified in reduc- ing in rank those employes who have been promoted since November 30th, in returning to their former employ- ment those who have left positions in other branches of the service, or in dismissing without cause the competent men who have been em- ployed to fill the other vacancies. Itis, however certain that upon the basis of re-employment suggested by your Excellency, many of the old switchmen can be given employment and probably a large number would be restored to their old positions. With the growth of business, it is reasonable to expect that consider- able increase in force will be re- quired which will enable the Twin City Lines te provide employment in the aggregate for more men than were employed previous to Novem- ber 30th. The representatives of the Twin City Lines believe that they have accepted your Excellency’s sugges- tions without reservation. They have done so with the sincere desire of avoiding any further inconvenience to the public, and the loss to their employes which will result from a continuance of the present condi- tions. In conclusion, the representatives of the Twin City Lines are under the necessity of advising your Excel- lency that their offer can not remain open indefinitely, and that if not previously accepted, it will be con- sidered withdrawn at twelve Noon, Wednesday, December 29th. With many thanks for your inter- est in behalf of the railways and their employes, and with apprecia- tion of the manner in which your Excellency has handled these diffi- cult negotiations, we beg to sub- scribe ourselves. Very respectfully yours, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. R. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry. Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Ry. Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Ry. Chicago, Great Western R.

ULTINATUM IS PRESENTED Carriers Agree to Reinstate Old Men When Vacancies Occur, but Refuse to Oust Present Employes in Order to Take Back Those Now Out. Strikers Claim to Have Made All Concessions in Interest of Peace. St. Paul, Dec. 28.—All hope of bringing the railroads and striking switchmen together was abandoned when the railway department council #f the American Federation of Labor refused to accept a proposition made by the railroads of the Twin Cities after a conference with Governor Eberhart in the governor's office at the capitol. The fight of the railroads is said to be against Frank T. Hawley, president of the Switchmen’s union; that with Mr. Hawley eliminated the strike would have been settled before this. The railroad officials representing the thirteen lines running into the Twin Cities first went into conference with Governor Eberhart. They pre pared a statement which was their ultimatum. The members of the fed- pratton council were then ushered into ;ne governor's office and the state- F:nt was read to them and, through eounsel, the federation refused to ocept the terms of the railroads. Every possible argument was brought to modify the disagreement; but nothing that was said had the slightest effect on the railroad posi- tion and the federationists, who com- plained bitterly that they had con- ceded everything and that the rail- roads had conceded nothing, refused to consider the terms further. Position of the Strikers. After the railroad officials left it ‘was stated by one of the federation conferees that “nothing would be ac- cepted from the railroad side of the argument that did not include an im- mediate or reasonably soon reinstate- ment of the men in their old positions, the question of wage scale and hours to be settled on the Chicago basis.” The railroad officials, in their ulti- matum, declare that they believe they have met the governor’s recommenda- tion in full by agreeing to abide by the terms of the Chicago conference settlement, together with the rein- statement of striking switchmen as there may be places vacated for them. The officials refused, however, Lo refnstate any strikers at the expense of others who have done the work since the strike was declared on Nov. 80. The raflroads also refuse to reduce in rank those employes who have been promoted to fill places vacated by strikers. The railroad officials say that many of the old er-ployes can be given their old positions, but they refuse to offer any guarantee-or to state any time within which all or any number of the strikers may be returned to work. SCHOOLMATES FIND BODY Pittsburg Youth Had Been Missing for Two Weeks.

SETH BULLOCK KEEPS JOB /8outh Dakota Friend of Roosevelt to Be Reappointed Marshal. ‘Washington, Dec. 28—It was an- nounced at the White House that Seth Bullock, United States marshal for South Dakota, is to be reappointed for another term of four years from Jan. 13 next. Bullock has been known as the close personal friend of Thec dore Roosevelt. The reappointment is said to be both a recognition of what Bullock has done as well as a compliment to the former president. Good Bait. “I got Cleveland's autograph,” sald the friend, “by addressing to him a lit- tle ode on his splendid work in the White House anent the Russo-Japanese war—or was it something else? Atany rate, I shall never forget my delight when, by return mail, Mr. Cleveland wrote: “‘Dear Sir—I have read your verses ‘with interest. They appear.to me very deficlent in sense and substance.” “I sent a sonnet of sympathy to Ber- nard Shaw on the failure of his play, ‘His House In Order’ or some such | ' Rone enongh—Martial L S E fitle. Mr. Shaw replied on a post card as follows: “‘Thank you very much for your son- net, which seems at least sincere.’ “I once ventured to address a ron- deau to Ellen Terry. In it I praised her beauty passionately. Miss Terry sent me a long and interesting note of acknowledgment, In the course of which she said: “‘I noticed many faults and weak- nesses in your rondeau, which, howev- er, made me laugh heartily.’ ”"—Ex- change. An Acrobat’s Dilemma. The acrobats of the music halls have no end in/view except to cause amuse- ment, But suppose one should meet them in ordinary life? Mr. Berkeley, the proprietor of a London hotel, was In his office about 6 o'clock one even- ing when he heard a knock at the door, while a voice, which seemed to express pain, cried “Open!” Mr. Berkeley obeyed, but a cry of horror escaped him, and he almost fell back- ward. He saw before him, rolling on the ground, topsy turvy, a kind of hu- man ball which was walking upon its hands, with the head twisted round, eyes protruding and neck contorted. “I did not wish to alarm my neigh- bors,” gasped this extraordinary be- Ing—it was a contortionist from a cir- cus who had been practicing in his room—“but I cannot unhook my leg from behind my neck, and unless you can help me I am afraid it is all up with me.” Mr. Berkeley disentangled the acro- bat, who fell exhausted on a chair. He had descended twenty stairs upon his hands in this position. A Bedouin's ldea of a Locomotive. It is interesting to know that the railroad between Jaffa and Jerusalem was made possible by locomotives from Philadelphia. They were orig- inally made, writes Professor H. W. Dunning in “Today In Palestine,” for 2 road in Central America which un- fortunately could not pay for them when they )were,ready for delivery. They happened to be just right for the Jaffa-Jerusalem line and were at once purchased and shipped. I happened to be in Jerusalem, he writes, the day the first locomotive ar- rived there, Aug. 20, 1892. Not only the people from the city, but many from 'the villages, came to see the new wonder. Among them was a Bedouin from beyond Jordan. He carried back the report to the tribe: “It is like a big iron woman. It glves one screech and then runs away.” This ingenious description spread rapidly through the ancient land of Moab. The Lion and the Child. The strange spectacle of a lion play- ing with a child is reported to have been witnessed at Vryheild. A Dutch farmer, accompanied by his wife and little boy, was out shooting game. Suddenly the attention of the parents was drawn fo the ehild, who had tod- dled a short distance away to gather wild flowers. Crowing with delight, the little fellow was pulling the hair of a full grown lion, and the animal appeared to be enjoying the operation. Bpellbound, the farmer and his wife stood gazing at the scene. The farmer, even if his gun had contained a shot, could not have fired because of the child. The lion skipped sportively round the boy until, startled by loud shouts from the parents, it walked quietly away, followed by a lioness, which up to then had lain concealed in the long grass. A hunt was afterward organized, but the lions had disappear- ed into the thick bush.—East Rand Express. She Hated Garrick. Mrs. Clive was eminent as an actress on, the London stage before Garrick appeared, and as his blaze of excel- lence threw all others into compara- tive insignificance she never forgave him and took every opportunity of venting her spleen. rude and violent in her temper and spared nobody. One night as Garrick was perform- ing “King Lear” she stood behind the scenes to observe him and, in spite of the roughness of her nature, was so deeply affected that she sobbed one minute and abused him the next, and at length, overcome by his pathetic touches, she hurried from the place with the following extraordinary trib- ute to the universality of his powers: “Hang him!

A true chord is touched by Sydney Smith when he urges thé importance of happiness as an aid to education, He says, “If you make children happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it.” Equally wise are the words of Sir John Lubbock: “Knowledge is a pleas- ure as well as a power.
