Modem Wheels of State I" was the day after to-morrow or somewhere along there. The su- preme head of all of the Labor Unions sat in. his luxurious office smoking a Pittsburgh stogy. His as- sistant entered and said: “Sire, the President of the United States is in the ante-room.” “Tell him to wait a few moments until I finish my mail.

I am going to take a few turns around the links.” As he strolled out he heard the President of the United States remark in a quiet, well modulated voice: “How unfortunate that I should have intruded myself at such an in- opportune moment!” G, ARABELLA.
