Aunt Hepsey was in ecstatic* over
the young lady her nephew, Ike, was
going to marry. “I never saw her
till last week,” she said, “but I fell
in love with her at first sight my-
self. She’s good, sweet, amiable and
as pretty as a picture.”
“What’s her name?” asked the
listeners.
“Maria.”
“Maria what ?”
Aunt Hepsey wrinkled her fore-
head, pursed up her lips, looked at
the ceiling and gave it up.
“I declare, I can’t think of her
other name.”
The general laugh that followed
this confession nettled Aunt Hepsey.
“What’s the difference about her
last name anyway?” she said, ex-
plosively. “It’s only temporary.
She’s going to change it.”—Youth’s

NEW YEAR’S CALK
A New Drink to Replace the Ol*-Tima
“Apple-Jack.”
Twenty-live years ago the custom of
making New Tear’s calls was a de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more “egg-mRf*
•r “apple-jack" than they could sue-
fessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to bo
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
tho same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of a century in the use
of alcoobHe beverages, let him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fort that the old custom of New Tear's
calls and the genteel tippling is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on one's
friends, however, at the beginning st
the new year, is a good habit, and an-
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-mafe Fostum in-
stead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a ssn-
sible daughter who has set Fostum
before her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, aad a good way

Labor Leader Albert Young on the
witness stand in the criminal court.
Young and four other managers of
the Teamsters’ Union divided the
money, the witness said. He asserts
the strike was called without sub-
mission to tke order. t
Prior to the teamsters’ strike in
1905, there had been a long labor
contest between Montgomery, Ward
t Co., and the Garment Workers’
Union. Finally the teamsters struck
in sympathy with the garment work-
ers. At first this strike was against
Montgomery, Ward & Co., alone. It
spread until the city’s entire buri- ,

Washington, D. Dec. 1.—Ths
desire to increase the wages of states-
men and their helpers is again agi-
tating the breasts of Congressmen,
particularly those who labor on the
House end of the . Capitol. It ia
rather likely that Congress will have
an opportunity to advance the wages
of the helpers—that is, private sec-
retaries*—since the subcommittee
thnt is "preparing the legislative, ex-
ecutive and jmlicial appropriation
bill has agreed to provide a comv-
pensation of $125 a month instead
of $1QO, which is now the salary,
whether Congress will have the prop-
osition to increase the pay of its own
members put up to rt is more doubt-
ful. The same subcommittee is con-
sidering the advisability of adding
$2,500, which would make the salary
of a Congressman $7,500 a year, but
as yet it has come to no resolution.
The general opinion is. however,
that there is fiot any probability at
this time than Congress will have
the courage of its convictions. The
onlinarv member will not hazard
$5,000 to win $7,500; so the states-
men will continue to read of the ad-
vances given to other laborers with
mixed emotion and envy.
Negro Hanged at Hondo.
Hondo: Henry Brown was exe-
cuted by hanging at the county jail
Friday. Sheriff Joe Ney read the
death warrant to him, after which
he walked unsupported and singing
to the gallows. After saying a few
words and bidding all gnod-bye, the
noose was adjusted and the trap was
sprung at 1150. Doctors pronoun-
ced him dead fifteen minutes after-
ward, his neck being fractured next
to the skull, and Medina County had
its first legal hanging.

first bribery was of the teamsters’
leaders by the garment workers to
months and for the slugging of hun- oil the initial strike. Later, he as-
serts, Shea received considerable
sums from other firms for the priv-
ilege of continuing the teaming
work, despite the tie-up. His story
today was of the meeting of the gar-
ment workers’ representatives. ,
Shea, myself, James Barry, Hugh
McGee and Jeremiah McCarty, all
officers of the teamsters, met Robert
Noreen of the garment workers in a
saloon in the Stock Exchange build-
ing,” he said, “and Noreen gave us
$1^00 to strike against Montgom-
ery, Ward & Co. We divided the
money and then each of us ga*V
Noreen back $20 for his trouble. The
next day the strike was called in dis-
regard of the union rules and the
anti-boycott laws.

that he could find the men for

“The cipher price mark, the tag
not marked *$1.75’ but ‘Pl’cdq,’ is
getting to be a thing of the past,”
said a jeweler. “The public mis-
trusts it. There is nothing that
wins the confidence of the public like
a price mark in big, plain figures.
“Most cipher price marks are easi-
ly read. They have for their key, as
a rule, the sentence ‘I push trade.’
The ‘I’ is 1, the 2, and *u’ 3 and
so on down to the ‘e,’ which stands
for 0. Thus *$2.75’ in cipher would
be ^prh.’
“Ciphers are useful for firms that
give long credit, for such firms must
naturally ask more from a six
months’ customer than a spot cash
one. But they are very unpopular
things. They arouse universal mis-
trust.”
