A Tennessee Man Explains Why He Has
Taken to Peddling Pies.

Taken to Peddling Pies.
"You wouldn't take me for a very
sharp fellow, would you?" asked an old
man who lives in "boomed" district of
Tennessee. Several men were sitting
on the platform at a railway station,
waiting for train. The old fellow had
come up with pies, made of dried peaches,
and had offered in vain to sell out for
ten cents.
"No," answered one of the men, "l'd
not take you to be very sharp."1
''Well, I'll just tell you how sharp I
was. Two or three weeks ago, after the
boom sot in over yander at Cardiff,
noticed one mornin' that lot of fellers

chains an three-legged things, an was

nine life insurance companies paid out,

death losses over and above the amount
paid out by them during the correspond
ing quarter of the preceding year. Tho
increase of deaths due to influenza for
this period reached one to every 1000

all insurance companies in the country.

CAMPFIRE STORIES.
THE EMPTY SLEEVE.


You may talk about the pathos
In the hardshlps OF the war,
You may talk about the glory
or the cause that you fought for,
But there's nothing so pathetic
AS tho lesson we receive
From the quiet, idle Tapping
or the useless empty sleeve.
You may talk about the marches,
The scant rations and "hard tnclk;"
or 1.-THE last drop in the canteen,"
And "the empty haversnck,"
There's nothing so convincing in
The impressions that you leave
AS the mute and speechless record
or the useless empty sleeve.
You may speak OF Southern prisons,
But their horrors could not last;
Or the roar and din Of battle,
And thank God that, too, has past.
But we see grim reminder,
Every morn and noon and eve,
In the living, speaking presence
or the useless empty sleeve.
Soldiers deck the graves OF comrades
With the laurel that they won,
Poets sing OF gallant heroes,
And of deeds of great renown;
But there's naught in poets anthems
Or the chaplets that they weave
That can beat the touching story
OF the useless empty sleeve.

A NIGHT OF HORROR.
Imprisoned Miners Watch a Wall
Water Green Upon Them.

Imprisoned Miners Watch Wall of
Water Creep Upon Them.
The Egypt coal mine, near Egypt Sta
tion, n. c., is the only coal mimi in
North Carolina and has usually forty
laborers employed in it.
The pit is $50 feet deep, and there is
only one cage used to draw out the men.
During one afternoon this cage was
caught by slight cavern about mid
way between the top and bottom of the
only shaft, thus rendering useless the
only means by which the laborers could
get out.
At first nobody knew what to do,
Wives, mothers and children of the inn
prisoned men gathered about the mine,
and their cries of agony could be heard
mile away.
1t was known that the water rose very
rapidly in the mine, and with the ma.
chinery blocked there was no way pos
sible to pump it out. The miners would,
therefore, soon drown if not rescued.
No voice could penetrate the depths, and
no sound could be heard from below.
Night came on, but there were ne
prospects of rescue. AT last Samuel A.
Henzsey, the president of the coal mine
company, got some men to work, and
throughout the long hours while they
tried to loosen the machinery mothers
walked up and down weeping and carry
ing babies in their arms.
Midnight came, but nobody thought
of sleeping. just before daybreak some
men were lowered down to the fastened
cage and cut hole in it.
The glad tidings were sent up that the
men were alive. Soon ropes were let
down, and one by one they were pulled
out. All were alive, but had the rescue
been delayed a few hours all would have
been drowned, as the water in the mine
had risen four feet and would have soon
covered the head of every man. They
were all wet, cold and half-starved.
"We did not expect to be rescued at
ALL" remarked an old man. "We felt
sure that the mine had caved in at the
top, and not a man of us ever expected
to be taken out Of that pit alive. We
huddled close together, and spent the
time in singing and praying.
1--WE knew at the rate the water was
rising on us that it would only be mat
ter of few hours before we would all
drown" he added, ''and it required lot
of talk and persuasion to keep some of
the men from lying down in the water
and drowning before the water was
three feet deep. We then made bar
gain to stand on our feet just as long as
we could, and when we could stand NO
longer we had agreed to all lie down in
the water at the same time and die. 1t
was an awful time, and l think We all
suffered the horrors of a hundred deaths. d

A COMPLETE TIE-uP.
Efforts to Run erect Cars at Columbus,
o., Prevented by Infuriated Citizons--A
Serious State of Affairs.

Efforts to Run erect Cars nt Columbus,
o., Prevented by Infuriated Citizens--A
Serious state OF Affairs.
COLUMBUS, o., June 10. The strike of
the Consolidated Street Railway Com
pany is beginning to look serious. Mon
day was the sixth day of the strike, and
as the Consolidated company controls
every line in the city, Columbus is to-
tally without street car facilities. All
kinds of business are badly affected,
the larger establishments being COM
PEELED to furnish carriages to convey
their customers to and from their stores.
The company has made several attempts
to run cars under police protection, but
without success. All efforts to compro-
mise the differences have proved futile
and in the last effort at adjustment, on
Saturday, the difference between the
company and the men was only2 ~ cents
on a days wages. Sunday the various
labor organizations met and rendered
sympathy, means and force, if neces-
sary, to carry their point.
Yesterday the company, with force
of hired "scabs," made attempts to run
the cars under police protection. The
first car had hardlygo started when the
populace--men and women-by thou
sands, rushed into the street and hum
dreds of workingmen surrounded the
Car and ditched it, the driver and con-
ductor fleeing for their lives. The car
was run back to the barn. The second
car got as far as High street, half filed
with police, when 5000 people gathered
around and the strikers or their friends
seized it, whirled it around, hit the
driver over the head, frightened off the
conductor and unhitched the horses. No
| further attempts were made to move
cars. The whole laboring population of
the city swarmed the streets, determined
that the cars should run till the men
got the wages demanded. A terrible
riot seemed imminent, and Mayor Bruck
issued orders that no more attempts to
run cars should be made until the wage
question was settled. Public sentiment
is almost unanimous for the strikers,
who receive less pay than any carmen in
the country.
The City Council last night adopted a
resolution instructing the city clerk to
notify the Consolidated Street Car Com
pany to Immediately put its cars in mo-
tion, taking back worthy employees to
operate them, at the increased wages
asked, or consent to submit the matter
of wages to board of arbitration.
