DEAR EDITOR JOURNAL:—I know
Ithat the weather is always a safe topic
I to write or talk about and we have so
I much of it here that matters are made I quite interesting for us. This is just
the middle of March hut you should see I how the perspiration rolls in great drops
I from the end of our nose. Still, then.
I there is always something to makeup I for such had times. Now, for instance,
I last Saturday night when I was walk-y
around the side of the "house in
| which I live, I came within a foot of a
I cobra, and within a foot of not living in
I the house any longer, too. But I hap
I pened to see him as he came with hood
I spread out, ready to prick a hole in my
I trousers. Of course I wasn t afraid •
| what man ever is when he tells of his
exploits’—hut I must tell you I didn't
waste any time getting into the house
and loading my shot gun. When I
fouDd him again he was coiled up in a
little drain ready for business. First I come, first served is his business motto.
| Well, it took two loads of shot to finish
him. My1 but he was vicious. After I
had shot him in two still he raised his
head and spread his hood trying to bite
the stick that I then brought to settle
him with. This fellow measured four
feet and three Inches and was nearly
j two inches thick in the middle. It is
| only due to the grace of God that I am
1 here to write of this to you.
Have I ever told you of the ants wp
I have here'/ There are millions and
billions of them; not figurative but
literal. I would never attempt to count
them; they are everywhere. The native
snrely has never considered her indus
| trions ways and learned to be wise, or
else he has become so used to setting
and considering that he has forgotten
to be industrious. There is no paralell
between him and the busy little ant.
There are many kinds, big and small,
pink, red .white and black. Some are so
small that two hundred conld stand OD
| a one cent piece and some an inch long
that fly and the same day, or rather I evening, that they start to fly their
wings drop ofE and they crawl into the
earth or wherever they can find to
| crawl; that is, those that are left to
crawl at all, for, it is a great feast for
the birds when in the late afternoon the
swarm of these big, fat ants begins to
exercise. Don’t the birdies’ mouth
water’/ Well, sometimes hundreds of
birds will swoop and wheel and all the
time be gathering in the innocent ants
Darkness ends the feast and in the morn
ing thousands of thin white wings may
be picked up but the ants have all
| found hiding places.
The ant that does the great damage
I is the white aunt. This is not really an
ant at all, but a termita. This ant is
about the size of the common small
ant so familiar in America, but the
business of his life seems to be to eat and
very few things are too hard for his
| strong mandibles.
I just wish some of my old Mount
I Pleasant friendB conld be with me over
a Sunday and go to the Sunday school
in the native village; they would enjoy
it. We Bing and read and talk and pray
in Bengali and the boys and men that
are so uncultured and yet in their way
intelligent seem to enjoy it all so much
Would you like to Bing as we do? Well
here is a verse and the chorus of “What
| Can Wash Away My Sins?” Try it
“Key mor pop paray dhutay?
Cable mattra Jesur rockto;
Key paray uermal koretay?
Cable mattra Jesur rockto.
CHORUS;
Aal awmulla ae sbrote,
Ja kora sbuklabat,
Ayla hoi ame dhole,
Cable mattra Jesur rockto!'*
All this time we go on working, leara
ing, teaching. Their ways and ours are
different. We have to get acquainted
with each other and that takes time
Many of these like the Christian religion
because it teaches the high and perfect
way. Some who are educated say it is
too high for them to reach; others that
they will be outcasted if we take it; but,
the fact is, slowly but surely, Christian
ity is gaining in India. Yours sincerely,
A. C. BOWERS.

THE RESULT WILL BE LWO LINE NEW BUILDINGS.
The details of a new strong combination of local men of money have
just been made public, telling of a deal whereby the new Citizens Savings
and Trust Company has secured a half interest in the First National Bank
block, at the corner of Main and North Church streets. The surplus and
capital of the two institutions are practically the same and when taken to-gether
represent the neat total of $350,000. This purchase of the half interest
in the real estate means the erection at once of two tine buildings.
The present block will be tom down and a good part of the material used
for flats that will be placed on the rear of the lot fronting Church street,
three stories about 40x60 feet. On the front facing Main street and leaving
an alley way for light will be reared a splendid three story structure 60x70
feet, on the ground floors of which will be the new homes of the two institu-tions
that will each have its storage vaults in the basement in addition to
modern vaults and safety deposit boxes in daily use on the first floor. The
second story will consist of up-to-date offices, while the entire third floor will
be made into a big assembly room. An architect is now drawing up the
plans and it is expected that work will follow their acceptance within the next
thirty days. Both new buildings will 'be ready for occupancy before the
new year.

Redstone Presbytery.
At last week’s McKeesport meeting of
Redstone Presbytery Revs. D. P. Mor
gan, of Spring Hill, and S. W. Douglas
of Wooster, Ohio, were elected General
Assembly commissioners. It was also
decided to solicit funds for the purchase
of a big tent in whieh to hold revival
meetings in the coke region. Rev
George C. Fisher was received as pastor
of the Middle and Youngwood churches
and will be installed on Juhe 28. The
next meeting of presbytery will be held
at Carmichaels on September 4.
The Principals were Mr. Gerard Bryce,
of This Place, and Miss Mary Pressly
McCance, whose Fun-Loving Friends

Send Off When They Left on Their
Bridal Trip Over the Lake Erie Road
the Same Night.
The wedding of Mr. Gerard Bryce, of
this place, and Miss Mary Pressly Mc-
Cance, which took place last Thursday
evening at the East End, Pittsburg,
home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. John
McCance. was a quiet but elegant affair,
all the members of the groom’s family
and many of his Mount Pleasant friends
being present.
The Rev. William J. Reid, pastor of
the First United Presbyterian church of
Pittsbnrg, performed the ceremony at 8
o’clock. The bride had but one attend-ant,
her sister, Miss Martha McCance,
who served as maid of honor. The bridal
party was completed by the best man,
Mr. Kenneth Bryce, of Pittsbnrg, a
cousin of the bridegroom, and one nsher,
Mr. William Hitchman, of this place.
The bridal gown was of white crepe
de'angelus. effectively trimmed with
lace and the long tulle veil was shirred
into crown effect at the top. A grace-ful
cluster of lillies of the valley was
carried by the bride. The maid of honor
was gowned in white lace and carried
pink sweet peas and white lilacs.
Young Mr. and Mrs. Bryce, who are
now off on a wedding trip, will reside
on College avenue where they have an-nounced
Tuesdays in June as their at-home-
days.
Private advices to THE JOURNAL are
that the young couple’s plan to leave on
their wedding trip without any of the
guests being the wiser was a first-class
failure. They were caught on emerging
from the house and nearly smothered
with rice, to say nothing of their beat-ing
from a regular tornado of shoes and
slippers of an ancient vintage. Then
their tormentors hustled them into a big
moving van and with a German band,
whose selections had the real saner
kraut jingle, escorted them in noisy
triumph to the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
station on the South-Side, to which point
less fortunate friends had hurried with
posters for the car and whole rolls of
glued white ribbon and rice for the
proper adornment of the bridal party’s
trunks and suit cases. The other pas-sengers
hugely enjoyed the fine display
of fire works as the train pulled out at
11:30 p. m.
The carriage following the musical
van and containing four of the merry-makers
collided with a fence and was
wrecked, although none of the occu-pants
was hurt. They footed the re-maining
eleven sqnares and were moved
to tears of disappointment on striking
the Smithfield street bridge to see the
last one of the rockets go up as the train
disappeared in a fog at the Point.

train going south. The poor little fel-low’s
body was severed at the waist and
the top of the head was ground off by
the cruel wheels.

THE MOUNT PLEA8ANT JOURNAL, THURBDAT, APRIL 28, 1904,
A NARROW
ESCAPE.
Rev. Charles L. Smith, of This Place, was
on a Runaway Street Car at Santa
Barbara, California.
HIE PEOPLE IDE KILLED
Rev. Charles L. Smith, the pastor of the local Methodist Episcopal
church, had a narrow escape from death while on his late trip to California
from which he returned last week. He was at Santa Barbara, an old town on
the Pacific coast, about one hundred miles north of L.os Angeles, on Sunday,
April 10th, and took the electric road to the old Spanish mission near that
place where services of a specially impressive nature were held that day,
drawing great crowds of people.
Coming back there were 120 passengers, he with many others occupying
the enclosed middle half of the car, the two ends being of the open summer
order. For some unknown reason the brakes refused to work and, on the
heavy down grade to the town, the car soon gained terrific headway. At the
reverend gentlemen’s side was a big window and through this he jumped into
the dusty roadway alongside the track. He was shaken up until he still feels
the effect and the hotel porter spent two solid hours brushing up his clothes,
but otherwise he was not hurt.
A few yards beyond where Rev. Smith jumped is a sharp curve and the
car left the track at that point and was smashed to pieces. Five passengers
were killed, among the number a Santa Barbara business man named Joseph
Smith who sat in the seat with Rev. Smith. Some fifty of the passengers
were more or less seriously injured.

Jud$e Ilokc's Court
Justice.at Sandy Bend Doesn’t Always
Go, VJ Was Proved In Two Cases.
►HEN tills yere court was
’lected as jestice of the
peace in and for the coun-ty
of Sandy Bend,” began
Judge Hoke as he rapped for order, "it
■was understood that what he said had
to go. This court took off its coat and
begun bizness. It ladled out jostice
to white men, Injuns and Chinymen
alike, and without stint. It enforced
the law and compelled respect, and It
patted good men on the back and made
bad men git up’n hump.
“On several different occasions sar-tin
shyster lawyers have had the gall
to inform this court that she wasn’t
the biggest thing in Wyoming and
that she would receive a check in her
mad career. The court was not
skeered. She went right ahead ladle-in’
out jestice and makin’ decisions,
ALONG COMES JIM.
and she had come to believe that she
was all the law fur 500 miles in every
direction when she got a throwdown.
“Feller critters, I have been heard
to observe in this courtroom that soon-er
than crawfish on any of my legul
decisions I would resign my office and
take to the hills, but the time has come
when I’ve got to take a bluff—two of
’em. Two of my cases have bin re-versed
on me, and the supreme court
has satisfied me that I was wrong.
I’ve got to crawfish, and I’m goln’ to
do it gracefully. While it pains me to
disklver that I’m not the biggest thing
in Wyoming, I’m consoled by the
thought that jestice recognizes Handy
Bend ns her headquarters and stops
yere most of the time. •
“The first case to which I refer is
that of Joe Toole agin Jim Harper.
Joe has a claim and a camp on Tur-key
bill. One day, when he is out,
along comes Jim and cleans out the
outfit, even down to the skillet. Joe
comes home and finds Jim’s trail. He
is armed, but does he toiler that trail
and bring him to alrth and then plant
him In a decent manner? Not any!
He sits down and weeps and laments
Instead, and he appears at the Red
Dog saloon and calls me out of a po-ker
game to whine fur jestice. Thar
is Jim Harper camped down not three
miles away, rolled up In Joe’s blankets
and sleepin’ like a log, and yere Is Joe
Toole beggln’ of me to let loose the
dogs of jestice bekase he ain’t man
’nuff to git his own back. WaB it any
wonder that I turned to the bar and
took a drink of water by mistake?
Was it any wonder that I went out of
that poker game with an ace full In
my hand?
“But I let loose the dogs. Jim Har-per
was arrested and put on trial. He
denied nuthln’. All he said was that
Joe Toole was no man. Of course
he wasn’t. The court said so, and you
all said so. and the court sot so work-ed
up over it that he let Jim go anil
sentenced Joe to seven years In state
prison. Mebbe it was stretchin’ the
law a leetle. Mebbe it wasn’t accord-in’
to the statoots. My decision has
been upsot by the higher court, and
I’ve got to tell Joe Toole that be is
a free man. I do tell him so, and 1
add that If be is hangin’ around Sandy
Bend an hour hence this court will
give him a lickin’ to be remembered
all the rest of his days. If Jim Har-per
was yere I’d fine him enough to
pay for the drinks all around, but ns
he is holdtn’ up stages over in Arizona
at the present time, and is thus beyond
my jurisdiction, all I kin do is to wish
him well.
“The second case is that of Tom
Reynolds agin Scott White. We nil
know' ’em, and we know that neither
are wuth the pow'der to blow ’em up.
Tom Reynolds is drunk five days in
the week, and works at his claim on
Wolf mountain the other two. Scott
White would be drunk all the time if
there was whisky ’nuff In Sandy Bend,
and he had money ’nuff to buy It. It’s
a toss up between the two, and no call
for sympathy.
“Three months ago Tom Reynolds
breaks Into a Chinese laundry and
steals eighteen shirts. It may be
mentioned at this Juncture that the
best shirt in the lot belonged to tills
court, and that when he finally got It
back one of the tails and all the but-tons
was gone. Tom is earryln’ off
his plunder, and has got as fur as
Squaw creek, when Scott White steps
out and points a stick at him and hold:
him up and takes the shirts. Toni
has two guns on him, and don’t snap
a cartridge in defense. He stands thm
and shakes and shivers fur a spell
and then he comes to rout me out am
holler fur justice.
“‘Is this whar they gits jestice':
hs says as he rushes into the Re:
Dog.
“ ‘She be.’ says I, ‘and how do yon
want it?’
“ ‘By the bsr’l.’
“Then he goes on to tell me that he
has bin robbed, and I issue a warrant
fur Scott Reynolds and bring him to
the bar. He stands on his rights. He
claims that he was only robbin’ a rob
her and that lie had no deadly weepins
to p’int. You will remember the
amazement of this court when them
eighteen shirts was spread out on the
floor and he found his among ’em..
You will also recollect how Tom Reyn
olds went down Into Ills butes and
tried to git outdoors. When this court
recovered from its surprise suuthin’
was done. Tom was sentenced to be
hung by the neck until dead, and Scott
was taken out and booted clear off the
town limits.
“The supreme court ain’t sayln’ a
word about his case, but it has re-versed
the hangin’. It gently hints
that this court can’t impose a bangin’
sentence, but that thar is sunthin’ of
a difference between robbery and mur-der.
This court ts obleeged to agree.
He is willin’ to admit that the sight of
his stolen shirt carried him a leetle too
fur. While he will continer to feel
that a critter who will steal the only
shirts eighteen respectable men have
got deserves condign punishment, he
will let hisself down as gracefully as

BIG LOSSES
BY FIRE.
|The Uniontown Flouring Mills of Mosser
& Co., and the Plant of the Ohiopyle
Lumber Company go up in Smoke.
|THE TOTAL LOSSES FDOT UP SOME $40,010
Fire was discovered at 1 o’clock Saturday morning at Uniontown in the
I flouring mills of Mosser & Co., and before the flames were subdued they had
destroyed that building and the buildings of the Ohiopyle Lumber Company
adjoining. The loss of the two concerns is estimated at about $40,000.
The burned buildings were located opposite the Baltimore & Ohio depot,
the railroad tracks being between them. A number of cars were on a siding
beside the mill, one of which contained powder, which was pulled away be-fore
there was much danger. The cars, however, went up in smoke.
Thefirerhen had a hard tight, as there was a high wind blowing. Sparks
from the burning buildings were carried over the northern section of the town
and several small tires were started. These were subdued, however, with lit-
Itle damage. The Baltimore & Ohio depot was on tire several times, but it
I was saved.
IT SAVES Y01 MONEY.
| Dr. Howard’s Dyspepsia Specific; Regu-lar
Price 50c, H. F. Barkley’s Price 25c.
The special half price sale of Dr.
I Howard's specific for the cure of consti-
Ipation and dyspepsia by H. F. Barkley
I means a saving of a few dollars on every
| family’s yearly bill for medicines.
Each 50 cent bottle (Mr. Barkley sells
lit for 25c,) contains sixty doses of a
I medicine that is pleasant to take and
1 which can be depended upon to cure
I the worst case of constipation, dyspep-sia
or liver trouble. Mr. Barkley has so
much faith in the superior merit of this
I medicine that he says: “If Dr. How-lard’s
specific does not cure you, come
I back to my store and I will return your
| money.”
If you are troubled with constipation,
I headache or dizziness, or if your food
does not digest naturally and easily, you
cannot afford to let pass the special
price that Mr. Barkley is making this
| week on Dr. Howard’s specific.
This remedy is not an ordinary medi-
I cine. It is the favorite formula of a
well known physician, and has the en-dorsement
of hundreds of physicians of
eminence in their profession, who pre
I scribe it in all cases of constipation,
I dyspepsia or liver trouble, knowing
from experiences that it will make a
complete and lasting cure.

“Do It To Day ."
The time-worn injunction, “Never
put off ’till to-morrow what you can do
| to day,” is now generally presented iu
this form: "Do it to day 1” That is the
terse advice we want to give yon about
that hacking congh or demoralizing
cold with which yon have been strug-gling
for several days, perhaps weeks.
Take some reliable remedy for it to day
—and let that remedy be Dr. Boschee’s
German Syrup, which has been in use
for over thirty-five years. A few doses
of it will undoubtedly relieve your
cough or cold, and its continued use for
a few days will cure you completely.
No matter how deep-seated your cough,
even if dread consumption has attacked
your lungs, German Syrup will Burely
effect a cure—as it has done before in
thousands of apparently hopeless cases
of lung trouble. New trial bottles, 25c;
regular size, 75c. At all druggists.

LOCAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Mount Pleasant has had a Board of
Trade, in fact, several of them and,
while they were not in existence, there-fore,
did not help to secure a number of
splendid industries such as the glass
plant, the tool factory, foundries and
the like that are here and all doing well,
they are, nevertheless, good things and
mighty handy when it comes to setting
forth the town’s advances to manufact-urers
seeking new sites.
The last attempt to organize a board
of this kind went by the board as our
citizens seemed too busy to respond to
the call for a meeting. The people at
the head of the movement should not,
however, be discouraged, but pick their
flints and try again. If they do not
care to act, there are plenty of other
equally progressive men who will take
hold if they can be brought to see the
importance of such an organization.
THE JOURNAL, has no suggestions to
make in that line, believing that its sole
duty is to point out the need.
A GREAT ROAD.
The success of the rubber road which
recently was laid under the archway at
Buckingham palace and of several other
private roads in London has brought
forth the proposal that London should
be made a city of silence by paving the
streets with India rubber.
Rubber makes a great road. To begin
with, it is sanitary, clean and water
proof. Even heavy traffic effects it but
little and horses for one thing could dis-pense
with shoes. Yet rubber roads are
hopeless. No public authority, experts
figure, would even dare to venture on
the initial expense of such a costly un-dertaking
in spite of the fact that the
rubber road lasts a lifetime. No wonder,
either. The cost is fifteen dollars per
square yard ot roadway. It would take
almost a quarter of a million dollars to
lay a mile of thirty-foot street.
repetition of the Berlin congress. F nr-thermore,
Russia will in no wise con-sider
herself bound by the propositions
made to Japan prior to the war. The
hostilities have wiped out the engage-ments
Russia offered to make with
Japan regarding Korea and Manchuria.
Russia will consider herself free to im-pose
such terms as she desires
It will be seen from the above author-itive
statements that the Czar's fighting
blood is up, but the dictation of peace
terms by a belligerent so sorely pressed
as Russia is today seems premature to
say the least.
THE First National Bank anil the Cit
izens Savings and Trust Company, with
a total of $850,000 paid up capital and
surplus, make a strong business team.
THE past week’s rough weather has
been very trying on the base ball fan,
and yet it has probably saved the Pitts-burg
team from becoming a tail ender.

DIVIDED DEMOCRACY.
Colonel W. J. Bryan rented an armory
hall in Chicago and in it Satnrday night
last made an address that tells very
plainly that he is going to have his say
both about the candidate and the planks
in the next Democratic national plat
form. Here is how he pays his respects
to the late work of the nnterritted in the
Empire State;
“The New York platform is a dishon-est
platform, fit only for a dishonest
party. No one but an artfnl dodger
would stand upon it. The submission
Of snch a platform to the voters of a
state is an insult to their intelligence,
for it is intended to deceive them, and a
deliberate attempt to deceive—espe
cially so clumsy an attempt as this plat-form
is—is a reflection upon the brains
of those to whom it is submitted.
“This platform proves that the oppo
sition to the Kansas City platform is not
opposition to silver, bnt opposition to
every needed reform and opposition to
all that the masses desire.”
The Colonel is hardly strong enough
to control the St. Louis convention in
the'interest of some friend who stood by
him four and eight years ago, and yet
nothing short of that will apparently
keep him in line; while the so-called
“Reformers” can expect nothing from
him if they ignore his principles and put
np one of their own number, as it seems
likely they will. The Democrats are
hopelessly divided. The split is so big
that “Dick” Croker, Tammany’s ex
chief, can see it from his new home in
England, and calls upon the party to
get together for 1908.
CZAR’S FIGHTING BLOOD UP.
For some time past there has been
talk of mediation in the RUSBO-Japanese
war founded upon personal desires of
King Edward and King Christian of
Denmark, to avoid further bloodshed
and end the conflict, bnt the step initia-ted
has utterly failed.
The Czar, with the full concurrence
of the imperial family, and his advisers,
has firmly decided not only to reject all
proposals looking to intervention, but to
prosecute the war with all the resources
-of the empire until victory crowns the
Russian arms, and then, when the time
comes for peace, to make terms directly
with tbe enemy.
The intervention of outside powers
will not be tolerated.' There is to be no

DEATHS Of THE WEEK.
The Grim Reaper’s Work In Thin Place
and Vicinitv.
Mrs. Rebecca E. Berger-Gibbs, widow
of the late John Gibbs, died at her West
Main street home early Tuesday morn-ing
of stomach trouble, from which she
suffered by spells for the past years.
She wae born on August 21, 1829, and
was in her 75th year. Her older son,
Joseph, passed away in 1892 and her
husband one year later, the surviving
children being Mrs. Merrett A. King and
B. F. Gibbs, who made their home with
her. She also leaves three sisters and
three brothers, Mrs. Brechbill and Mrs
Stahl, of this place; Mrs. Maria Wor-man,
of Iowa, and Daniel, Christ and
John Berger, of Missouri. Mrs. Gibbs
was an ideal Christian wife and mother
and, while never very strong physically,
possessed a mind that was bright and
active even when the loving heart
strings broke in death. She had no fear
when she went down into the dark val-ley.
Leaning upon Him Whom she had
so long and faithfully served, she parted
from her loved ones here with a smile
that may also have been meant for loved
ones waiting there, on the other side.
Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keister, pastor of
the United Brethren church, of which
she was a member, conducted the fun-eral
services at the house at 2 o’clock
this afternoon, the interment following
in the cemetery.
Daniel Wertz, a pioneer of Dawson,
died at his home in that place last
Wednesday, aged 78 years. Two daugh-ters,
one brother, David, of Mendon,
and his sister, Mrs. Mary Hutchinson,
of this place, survive. He was one of
the California forty-nine gold hunters
and a veteran of the Civil war.
Alexander Grieve, an old friend of
George Parfitt, of this place, died Fri-day
at his Westmoreland City home of
dropsy, aged 44 years.
Friends of Homer C. Hoffman, for-merly
of this place, will regret to learn
of the death of his young wife which
occurred of rheumatism at their Mor-gantown,
W. Va., home on April 19th.
Mrs. Margaret Love Miller died of
the infirmities of age at her Youngwood
home Sunday morning last, aged 77
years, the interment taking place at St.
John's graveyard yesterday forenoon.
With her two brothers, Benjamin and
Robert Love, there survive six children,
two sons and four daughters—Mrs.
Clara Bortz, of Wilkinsburg; Ira and
Smith Miller, of Iowa; Mrs. Belle Wine-man,
Miss Laura Miller and Mrs. Ella
Ruminel, of Youngwood.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1904,
CONTEMPT
OF COURT.
Eight of the Striking Coal Miners and Or-oanizers
at Garrett Arrested on That
Charge Friday Last.
TEMPORARY PEACE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED
Sheriff A. J. Coleman, of Somerset county, on Friday last arrested
eight of the striking coal miners and organizers at Garrett on the attachments
for contempt of court issued by Judge Francis J. Kooser Thursday. He also
served bench warrants on 12 others, summoning them to appear in court and
show cause why they should not also be adjudged in contempt of court in
violating the restrictions of an injunction directed against them on February 9.
Those arrested on attachment proceedings were taken before Justice A.
J. McKenzie, where they entered bail in the sum of $300 for their appearance
in court. Those arrested include Mark Smith, a union organizer, who was
found at the depot as he was preparing to take a train, and Howard Williams,
president of the Garrett union. James Zelinsky, also an organizer, could not
be found. Otlicers searched for William Nehinsky for several hours before
they located him after searching his house.
The arrests were made without trouble, although the men boldly denoun-ced
the action. Judge Kooser’s order in the case states that upon conviction
fines will be imposed, but that the men will not be committed to jail except
in the default of payment of fine. President Williams said the union was
prepared to pay the fines which might be assessed. The Garrett Coal Com-pany’s
Hocking plant, where all the trouble occurred, was closed down Friday.

What (he German Thought
Cf the Fisherman’s Tale
AFISHERMAN stopping at the
house of u well to do and edu-cated
German referred lo the in-ability
of the average German to ap-preciate
an American joke, yet the
American was quick to catch on to any
of tlie jokes given out in the l'llegende
Blatter and other German comic pub-lications.
The German disputed this
statement and said, "Germans are just
us quick to understand a joke as any-body
else.”
"Well,” said the fisherman, "here’s
oue. We had down in our country a
farmer with such big feet that when
he went to bed nights he had to go
out into the forks of the road and use
them for a bootjack to pull oft' his
boots."
Tlie German never cracked a smile.
“I told you so,” said the fisherman.
“Vatt a minute, just,” said tlie Ger-man,
“so 1 see redder 1 you under-stand
correctly. You say dot you
know a man vat makes a bootjack al-ready
of de forks of de road to pull
mit his boots off, he such big feet
got?”
“Yes," said the fisherman.
“Y'ou mean by de forks of de road
vere de road one goes dis vny and de
odder dat vay, a fork making?”
"Yes.”
“And he go out dere and his boots
he must pull off like a bootjack he
use ?"
“Yes.”
“Yell, I understand, don’t I? Vat?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, den. dat no joke vas. Dat vas

Clerk Conld Not Skip.
Tlie reading of a long appropriation
bill in either house of congress is in-variably
a most tedious proceeding for
members, and equally tiresome for the
clerks. Consequently when there is a
slim senate or house and a large sec-tion
of the bill without any committee
amendments It is customary for ex-perienced
clerks to skip a few words
or paragraphs or even pages here and
there to facilitate consideration. Rare-ly
is there any objection to this prac-tice,
but one of the appropriation bills
In the senate this week proved an ex-ception
to the rule.
“Mr. President,” exclaimed Mr. Ba-con
of Georgia suddenly, “I would like
to ask where the clerk Is reading. I
have been unable to follow the read-ing
of the bill!”
Tlie clerk announced tlie exact page
and line and continued reading. Hard-ly
three minutes later a similar inquiry
came from Mr. Culberson of Texas,
directly next to Mr. Bacon.
“.Mr. President,” he exclaimed in a
shrill voice, “I am unable to find the
place where tlie clerk is now reading,
and would like to be'Informed!”
The clerk proceeded in his clear, re-sounding
voice, and because of the in-terest
of so many senators In the text
of the bill had to break senate prece-dent
and read every word of tlie bill
from that time on.—Washington Times-
Appropriate.
“What, are you doing?” asks the hus
band, watching his wife snipping into
some goods with her scissors.
“Cutting out my spring suit.”
He laughs merrily at her.
“Good joke op you,” he says. “You
have mistaken a map of the war In
Manchuria for the pattern.”
“It will not make so much differ-ence,”
she smiles, putting some more
pins in her mouth. “It is to have a
Russian blouse effect.”—Judge.

An old ludy, who, with her husband,
had spent the winter in Japan, was
asked by one of her friends if she had

“Yes, I heard ona," she answered,

first thing that happened since John

think I was to blame for."—London

Caaey'n Name Redeemed.
There were thoughts in Casey's thinker
when it came his turn to hit.
Half past five the clock recorded. It was
getting time to quit.
Casey felt his belt a-loosening—supper
time was drawing near.
"Let him pass me up a good one, and I’ll
end the fun right here.”
Raying this, his feet he planted flrmly in
the well packed earth.
"Though the poet says I strike out, here
is where I show my worth.”
To the plate the ball came sailing. Casey
soused it on the beak.
Out it soared toward the palings, leaped
the fence and made a sneak,
mind the bases Casey sauntered. His
home run had won the game
And wiped out a stain which long had
been disgraceful to his name.

[CONTINUED.]
The captriln, missing nothing from
(he ready welcome, took his accus-tomed
place between the sisters and
answered the few questions put first
by one nnd then by the other with
great Impartiality. Then, prompted by
some reminiscence, he found himself
speedily launched on an ofttold tale.
As he meandered
sentences the
ed by his bulky person, eying
other critically nnd paying only an out-ward
attention to his prolixity. At
that moment each of them felt some j
faint regret for the old happy pence
which had gone completely from her
life. When the captain had finished
Ids story nnd found his regard In the
glass of mulled wine which his hostess
placed at his elbow, that lady In her
snavest tones asked for the pleasure of
his company at ten on Thursday. And
this was Tuesday!
“Why, ma’am,” he returned heartily,
“I’d like to come first rate, but Judge
Hascom’s folks have Invited me to sup-per
that night”—
“Then Friday,” smiled Miss Corne-lia,
though she felt the iron enter her
soul.
"That’s engaged, too,” laughed the '
captain as heedlessly as n boy. “I’m
down for a party at the Lanes'. ’Twill
seem queer to be going to a party
again, but Mrs. Lane wouldn’t take no
for an answer. She said 'twould liven
me up to see the young folks dancing
and she’d answer for it I hadn’t for-gotten
how to cut a pigeon’s wing with
the best of ’em. Anyway, she'd lead
the Itoger de Coverley with me herself.
She wouldn’t let me off on that.”
“Saturday!” gasped Miss Cornelia.
“Very sorry, ma’am, but I’m going
to organ practicing with the Hunters. (
Dear, dear, how time flies! ’Twas only
the other day that Cephas Hunter’s
little Molly used to toddle over to our
house to play with the shells I’d*
brought home, and now, bless me, she’s
grown to be a woman, with a voice
that sings the very heart out of n
man! ’Tain’t any wonder they give her
first place In the choir. I’d rather hear
her sing t!-*in the parson preach, and
I think my chances for getting to heav-en
would be stronger. Somehow she
makes you feel as if you were just out-side
the gates of gold. Come now,
Miss Cordelia, you’re a judge of mu-sic.
Don't you think she gave ‘Rock of
Ages’ tine last Sunday?”
“Yes,” stammered poor Miss Corde-lia;
"very fine.”
The captain hummed the hymn soft
ly. Ills eyes had a tender, reminiscent
glow. Miss Cornelia sat looking on In
silence for a few’ moments. Then she
gathered herself together for one last
effort.
“Sister,” she suggested, “suppose you
give us some music now. The captain
and I will discuss later when he can
come to us.”
“Well, I do seem, to be in demand,”
the visitor chuckled complacently, “and
I won’t say I don’t enjoy it. A man
gets kind of soured being by himself
all the time. If you’ll believe it, ma’am,
I haven’t au evening free next week. I
don’t know what’s come over Broad-meadows
all of a sudden. It's ‘Captain
Taylor’ here and 'Captain Taylor’
there. Lord, ma’am, I’m as flustered
as a girl^jpg to her iirst party, and—
there—tlicsfc I didn’t know I cared so
much for pcIJJHe after all.”
Miss Cornelia smiled sympathetical-ly,
though in that moment, with her
quick perception, she saw the complete
destruction of her hopes unless she
could retrieve them by a master stroke.
She turned a remonstrant eye upon
Cordelia, who, pale and aghast, was ut-terly
defying the voice of authority.
“Come, sister,” she said, with au ac-cent
of firmness not to be questioned;
“some music.”
“Yes, Miss Cordelia, some music,
some music!” roared the captain.
Cordelia rose obediently. She dared
not offend either Cornelia or their
( guest. She groped her w’ay to the pl-
' ano and touched the keys softly. There
was no light in the room, but she told
herself passionately that she did not
need any. She had been blind all along.
Now she could see. In Cornelia’s hands
she was a mere puppet to serve her
purposes and then be cast one side.
Hadn’t she any feelings to be consid-ered?
Didn’t she care? Was It any
worse for her to try to win the cap-tain’s
affections than for Cornelia or
any of the other women In Broadmead-ows?
She meant affections, not money
or land or house. She did not take
material things Into her reckoning for
a moment. They had no weight with
her. And there was nothing she could
do. Even her little feeble piping must
Jar upon him when he thought of Molly
Hunter’s flutelike voice. Her chilly
fingers struck a few random chords.
Then a sudden resolution filled her,
and she begun to sing.
Meanwhile Miss Cornelia brought all
her charms to bear upon the man at
her side. He leaned toward her, unac-countably
flattered. There was no de-nying
that she wras a fine woman, a
well preserved woman. He did not be-lieve
she had her equal in Broadmead
ows—for cooking. A comparison he
had often made mentally between her
and his own careless, crusty house-keeper
occurred to him on the mo-ment.
At the remembrance he moved

nn old fool, he told himself, to remem-ber

1 of his thoughts went on like some
sweet antlphonal strain. Love was still
abroad in the world, and happiness—
they were infinitely better seeking than
mere physical comfort, even If ship-wreck
lay at the end.

for ages. lie bent a hasty retreat, hur-contfactors.
The present suit arose from mandamus proceedings brought by William
Miller & Sons to compel the controller to pay an estimate of $K)8. It was
a test of the entire amount involved in the contract which, it will be remem-bered,
Judge McConnell approved and Judge Doty disapproved. Controller
Brown then refused to pay the Iirst bill turned in by Miller & Sons who had
Judge McConnell order him to do so. The controller’s appeal to the Superior
Court followed.

rylng down the path, bis mind filled
with the vision of Molly Hunter's pret-ty
face, while the cry of the music.
“Ro-ob-bln-in wa-as there!” pursued
him like the ghost of some faint, old
time passion.
Miss Cordelia waited at the close of
the first verse for the hearty “Brava!1
which the captain, with remarkable
catholicity of taste, always accorded
to her singing. Then, strangely chilled
by its absence, she went on with the
song. There was a sudden noise at
the door.
“For pity’s sake, Cordelia, stop
screeching!” a harsh voice cried. “It
sots my nerves on edge. If I were you
I'd give up such lovesick songs any
way. They’re more suitable for that
Hunter girl.”
The musician’s hands fell with a
crash upon the keys. The reverbera-tion
almost deafened her, but above ev-erything
she was cqpscious of one
thought—Cornelia must be very sure
of her ground to speak so forcibly be
fore their guest. In one minute all the
rose colored castles she lmd reared
came tumbling about her. There was
something wet on her cheek, and she
was glad as she brushed it aside that
the room was dark.
“I’d recommend ’Greenville’ and
Federal’ us more In your line,” Cor-nelia
continued sharply, “but you
needn’t begin practicing now. You'll
have plenty of time to learn them be-fore
the captain comes again.”
“The captain! Where Is the cap-tain?”
stammered Cordelia.
“1 don't know. I'm not his keeper.
He’8 gone. That's the long and short
of it He said he’d a headache, (is If
any woman would believe that! He
was all right and coming on well until
you began your disgraceful singing.
Then he was driven away.”
The voice grew fainter ns the speak-er
ascended the stairs, and the last
words, with a sharp laugh, floated
dowrn through the hall. Then there
was the sound of an angrily closed
door, and after that a grim silence set-tled
like a pall over the house.
For a long time Miss Cordelia re-mained
motionless, her head drooped
forward Into her hands and her brain
whirling. The captain’s inexplicable
conduct, her sister’s anger, Molly Hun-ter’s
voice and the cruel characterize
tlon of her own singing were jumbled
hopelessly together In her mind. She
felt suddenly weak’ and old. All the
innocent pride she had taken In her
one accomplishment deserted her, and
stripped nnd bare as It was, It seemed
a pitiable thing. A sob choked her.
She would never sing again, not even
"Greenville” or “Federal,” and all those
other little songs must be put by for-ever.
Cornelia had called the singing
disgraceful, and—Cornelia was right.
[TO BE CONTINUED.]
priations of n few hundred dollars are
by no means all fairy tales. Of course
the few hundred dollars lmd to be re-invested
several hundred times, and
probably not one of the great fortunes
was built up except after years of
struggle.
One prominent manufacturer in the
textile line told me recently that from
the start lie had spent ids spare change
In advertising. "I paid my merchan-dise
bills first," he said, "and Invested
the surplus, and the surplus only, in
advertising. We built up conservative-ly,
but the surplus went, and I remem-ber
that when I used to eat fifteen cent
lunches and economized in every way
personally I spent thousands of dollars
in advertising.
When our salesmen Invaded the
enstern field we knew that we had
reaped the benefit. Our house was
known everywhere, our goods lmd been
talked of. We held the key, and we
used it to open new channels of trade.
Advertising did it.”
This man began business only thir-teen
years ago with very little. He is
today one of Chicago’s wealthy men, a
prominent member of the Chicago Ath-letic
association and the largest manu-facturer
in his line in the country.
Last summer he bought out his lending
eastern competitor, a nonadveftising
firm established two generations ago.—

Doan’s
Kidney Pills,
A Modern Medicine for
Every Kidney 111.
Mr. William McLaughlin, of No. 542 South
Duke street, Lancaster, Pa., says: I first
noticed my back give out when I was a let-ter
carrier. I was constantly taking cold,
and It always settled In my back. I em-ployed
a doctor and took numerous kinds
of medicine, but they availed me nothing,
when on the railroad the work made me
worse. The pain was sharp In the small of
the back, and at night when In bed It was
terrible, and I often had to get up on ac-count
of a urinary weakness. I sent my
daughter to Hull's drug store and got Doan s
Kidney Pills. After using them for three
days I felt better. I continued until I was
all over my trouble, and could heartily rec-ommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills to others.
