DO YOU BELIEVE IN DREAMS?
HE WAS COLOR BLIND. A New York man named Black committed suicide the other day and took the trouble to tell the world his reasons. Somehow the average suicide seems to feel In an indistinct kind of way
that his rash action requires some sort of justification. Black left a note in which he says he found no beauty in life, nothing but "hypocrisy, deceit and selfishness." An honest wail, doubtless, but A little introspection might hare ruagut him that the lack was not in the world, but in himself. There is plenty
of truth and sincerity and self sacrifice In the world, but he could not see it. Why? Because he saw only what every man must see a reflection of himself. He who is drunken can see only a drunken world. He who is a pessimist sees gloom. He who is dishonest considers all men dishonest Every man is a microcosm a miniature world. If this man had looked into the world of himself he would have there discovered a share of the "hypocrisy, deceit and selfishness" he complained of in others. If he found no beauty in the world it was because there was no beauty in his life, else the beauty in his life would have found a fit companionship with the beauty that is everywhere. And contrariwise-
One i assimilated into the likeness of those things that he loves and ad
mires. If this man had really loved and admired beauty and truth and
goodness he would have been changed
into the likeness of beauty and truth and goodness. That is the inevitable
law of assimilation
That is the trouble with the average

HOW TO KNOW A MAD DOG.
SO MANY PEOPLE WONDER in these dog days how they may know
when It is mad. It is not hard to tell. A well known authority says:
"Hydrophobia is in reality so rare and so terrifying that its symptoms
and treatment are little understood. As a matter of fact, the commonly ac
cepted expression of madness in a dog is often misleading. The real mad dog does not shun water as it is said. On the contrary, mad dogs often rush to the water and drink eagerly, if they are able to swallow. The mad
dog does not froth at the mouth. It does not run amuck, snapping at every- isas Wisconsin
thing in its path. What, then, are the indications of the mad dog?. To those familiar with a given dog the surest symptom and the one which would excite closest attention is a distinct and unaccountable change in the dog's disposition a staid dog becoming excitable and a frisky one dull. That
condition does not necessarily mean rabies, but it 13 suspicious, and if in I
addition the dog has trouble in swallowing as thought it seemed to have a bone in its throat beware! That dog should be instantly tied up, because, if it be rabies it takes but a day or two for ferocious instincts to develop. The

LABOR NEWS
The American Federation of Labor has Indorsed the label of the American Society of Equity, the organization of the farmers. At Lethbridge, Canada, with a population of 4,000, there are about 1,000 members of trades unions. The Woman's Suffrage league of New York City has asked the support of the labor organizations In its agitation for political equality. Louisiana, Connecticut, Nebraska, Indiana, Rhode Island, Washington, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, as well as Oregon, have the ten hour day for women now in force. A conciliation of trades union statistics in the principal countries of the world places the number of members in good standing at 9,000,000 or 1,000,000 more than last year. Samuel R. Donnelly of New York,
of the building trades council, has gone to Panama, for the purpose of Inves
tigating labor conditions In the canal sone.
A resolution providing for the es
tablishment of a labor paper at San
Juan, Porto Rico, has just been passed
at a convention there of representa
tives of 110 unions having affiliation with the American Federation of Labor.
About 120 representatives of the potting Industry of the United States and Canada will assemble in Atlantic City early next month for the eighteenth annual convention of the National Brotherhood of Operative Potters. Galveston (Tex.) baseball players
have organized a labor union, which
will affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. The Idea Is to create a fund for a ball players' home; also a fund modeled somewhat on the general plan of the actors' fund. Conditions of organized labor In Wyoming compares favorably with other parts of the country. The different international organizations are well represented. The Industrial centers are well organized, but there are quite a number of unorganized workers at outlying places, whose wages ar very low. Many unions have in the last year been experimenting in the matter of dues. In several instances unions which have always strictly adhered to the high due rule have reduced temporarily their initiation fees In an endeavor to decide fcr themselves Just to what extent a high initiation fea hampers growth. From a report on British trad
unions recently Issued, It Is shown that this form of labor organization Is steadily increasing in membership and strength. Returns were received for 1906 from 645 unions, with a membership of 1,719,031, an increase of 151,512 over the report of the previous year. Their income for the same period was approximately $13,500,000. an increase of $760,000. Their expenditures aggregated $11,400,000, or $1,100,000 less than the year previous. At the present time the funds of the unions total about $29,000,000. Grand President Frank J. McNulty of the International Brotherhood of Electrical workers, urges the creation of a large defense fund, one so largo as to be useful in easos of differences between employers and employes. He also advocates the centralizing of sick and death benefit fun. Is. He holds that If such funds were paid from the treasury of the international body, instead of being paid by the Individual unions, better results would obtain, and that
It would then he possible to raise death benefits from $U" to $.rj00 and sick and disability benefits from $5 to $10 a week. An experiment Is being tried in Paris looking to the abolition of the sweatshop conditions surrounding many of the French working people. The experiment consists of the establishment of a workstiop apartment building, where workmen may labor and live under the most modern and hygienlo conditions at a mir.imijm cost. The building contains forty-eight workshops and apartments, and the price a year for these combinations Is from $100 to $148. In the basement are. baths and on the seventh floor arrangements for washing and drying the family linen. Electric power is supplied at a minimum cost from a central point. Any workman using the lights for machinery can install themselves in the building. In fact, twelve families have already done so, finding the new, clean workrooms a most agreeable and healthful substitute for their former dark and ill-ventilated shops.
