what an American Witnessed In Florence
ON Ascension Day.

If we happen to be in Florence on
Ascension Day, we shall see great
many people in the streets who offer for
sale little wooden cages, two or three
inches square, which are used in very
peculiar way. Each person who wants
TO know what his or her fortune is to te
during the ensuing year, buys one of
these cages, and into 1t is put cricket,
great numbers of which are caught on
that day by children, and even men and
women, in the fields and roads outside
of the town. Each cricket is kept in its
cage without food, and if it grows thin
enough to get out between the little
bars and escapes, then its owner expects
good luck during all the year; but II the
crickets constitution can not withstand
privation, and il dies in the cage before
it is thin enough to get out, then the
person who imprisoned it must expect
misfortune. Many travellers buy some
of these curious little cages as mementos;
but if we do not wish to be troubled by

The Rebellion of the Factory Girls Al,
Dover, n. H., In 1927.
The first strike among our working
people, think, was at Dover, n. H.,
in 1927 or 1923. The Cocheco works
were established in 1920. and the opera
tives were almost entirely American
girls, who deemed that weaving and
spinning were better than farming, and
became factory girls on the erection
of the works at Dover Falls. A small
factory up the river was No. |. and the
works at the falls We're Nos. ?, 3, and 4,
as | believe they are at the present
time. Everything went on spinnngly and
smoothly until the year of which write.
There were exactions on the part of the
corporations that the independent spirit
of the fair spinners and weayers could
not brook. A rule was made that the
great gate should be closed at bell
ringing, and those who wee late should

J. Z. Walter, the master Of train services
Of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, has
q dog he values highly. The dog Is New
foundland, and has been raised by his
owner from q small puppy. Mr.. Walter
has little girl who Is fond df the animal,
and the affection between the two is inter.
esting. A few mornings since the little
girl was left in the room alone by large
fire in the CRATE. She went too near the
blaze and the dog opened the door AMI en-
tered. He went to her and began to pull
her away by catching her clothing in his
teeth. The two companions played about
the room for some time, until the little
girl grew tired and sleepy. She went too
near the fire again, and the dog could not
get her away. He pulled at her clothes
for some time, but could not arouse
her. He then hurried to her mothers room
and began to act strangely by rubbing
against her hand and catching her dress,
pulling her toward the door. She caressed
him and told him to go away and find little
Nellie. He made a strange whining noise
with his mouth, and then slowly walked
back to where the little one was sleeping.
The fire was growing hotter and the little
one was sleeping, unconscious Of her great
danger. The dog made another attempt
TO arouse her and failed. He then crouched
down beside her, between her and the fire,
taking care to protect her well. Mrs.
Walter entered the room a few minutes
later and found the noble dog in this posi-
tion whining and crying, while the hair
was being singed from his back. Little
Nellie was sleeping sweetly.

Why Newly-Appointed Railway Mai.

A story they tell about Andrew Jeck,
the veteran railway mail clerk, comes in
well at this time, when they are making
so many changes in the postal service.
Jeck is the Oldest railway clerk in
Maine, and there are few, if any. on the
postal cars anywhere as old As he; vet
he is active, efficient and sharp. Years
ago another fellow succeeded in getting
himself appointed to fill Jeck's place.
OF course Jeck consented to make one
or two trips with him to show him the
ropes. 1t happened that on the first
trip they made together there was an
accident and the ear was thrown from
the track. Jeck caught firmly hold of
the table when he felt the first jar and
came out of the accident Gnscratched
and not the least Disconnected The
novice was flung in heap into one cor

"Does this sort of thing happen very

"Oh, ycs;' said Jeck. "And forgot
to tell you that we all have a place to
cling to when it comes. You must have
a holding place purposely fixed to get a
stiil grip on with your hands"
The top of the ear was much battered
by time and the new man asked, before
they had gone much further on the
route. "Mr. Jeck, what has made all
these scars in the top of this carp"

One day, while the sage Burrame

brains ran out. He was insensible of
his loss and returning to his study con-
