in port this evening, struggled two

Then, as the realization of the horri

to their consciousness in all its force

from them.
"My God! it was tough," said Cap

I ever went through and I never want
to experience anything of the kind

When John Lewla, the engineer on a
Union Pacific passenger train, climbed
from his engine at the union depot re
cently he carried In on a-hand a full
grown wolf dead. Lewis said his
engine struck the wolf near Warn ego,
Kansas, early In the morning and that

oiling around at the next stop he found
the wolf dead on the pilot. He took
It Into the engine cab and brought It to

The wolfs nose touched tfto platform

Washington, Aug. 24. The usual "we
don't patronize" list Is published in the
September number of the American
Federationist despite the recent suit
for Injunction instituted by the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers. In
addition the journal contains a strenu
ous editorial by President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor,
apropos of the alleged determination of
the organization to raise a fund of
tl.SOO.000 to fight the tabor unions,
headed "Go to with your war
fund." The editorial says in part:
"This declaration of war shows a
lack of perception which would be
amusing were It not saddening. The
employers In the manufacturers' asso
ciation already seem to be tolerably
alive to their own Interests. They have
organized and Instead of frankly con
ceding that right to the wageworker,
they want to destroy his organization,
that they may the more easily become
masters of all they survey."
James T. Powers will be seen again
this season In "The Blue Moon." He
will open the season in Toronto the
middle of September, i
