How He Entertains His People with Fam
clfnl Tales of the East

How He Entertalns his People with Fan
eifai Tales Of the East
Hall Game, the author OF -The
Deemsterr and other novels, has dis
covered in his travels Moorish story
teller. The Moorish story-teller is not
usually Moor. properly so-called, but
OF negro blood, aud comes from beyond
the Atlas He is familiar figure on
the Mohammedan holiday, Friday, in
the sok, or market place, OF Moorish
towns. Surrounded by two, three or
four lines of listeners. in semi circle,
he strums on sort Of guitar, and
tells his stories in gasps and spasms
and with great feryor His stories are
not always of kind that bear repeti-
ton, but some are harmless; and of
that sort Mr. Game gives, as an exam
pie, q story which he himself heard in
the sok at TaDgier. and had translated
to him by resident. Most of this
oral literature of the market place
seems to be sort of apocrypha to the
arabian Nights" "Once there was
good man, and his name was Ali. He
had Christian captive, beautiful
English girl. Ali was willing to make
her his wife if she would become q
true believer. Praise the merciful
Allah and his prophet the Lord Mo-
manned! Story-teller and audience
touch their foreheads. She, on her
part, was willing to be Ais wife if he
would become Christian. One day
Ali told her to go down to his stable
under his house and saddle his favor
lite horse.
when she got to the stable the
horse lifted both its forefeet and struck
her down. For time she was insen-
sible, and when she recovered con-
seriousness she took the blow of the
horse as proof of her unbelief in the
true God and his prophet. Allah
save and bless us. All touch fore
heads again. So she went up to Ali
and told him she believed and would
become his wife. Then Ali said: Go
down again and saddle my horse She
went down, and the horse struck her
again. Once more she returned to
said Ali; go down again. Yet again
she went down TO the stable, and then
Ais favorite horse suffered her to
saddle him, and she brought him to
Ali, and Ali married her. and she was
a true believer forever after. Story
teller stops to make collection;
good number of copper coins are
handed to him, then he resumes.
Now we leave Ali and go far away into
the desert. There was fight between
a good Moor and a great Christian
chief The Moor had n beautifuI wife
and the Christian killed him and took
his wife and rode AWAY with har And
one day he met Ali and challenged
him to fight. But Ali had magic
sword, with which he could kill what
ever he could see, no matter how far
away; so while the chief was Boosting

business interests of the country, and
for months the once peaceful Connells-
Vile district struggled In the grasp of
mob rule, while disorder, hardship, and
terror existed on every side.
The discussion Of the right and wrong
OF the affair from either aspect OF the
question attracted the attention OF the
civilized world The men claimed that
they would sign sliding scale schedule
ow; 5ee9ess fWtb,, and that later the mine
market so as to have the price of tie
product rule high or low, according as
they desired TO pay the men. The
owners offset this claim by averring that
the fluctuations in the value of the coke
were controlled by the legitimate out
side demand--that IL would rule at 81. %
per ton for time, and then sink to the
remarkably low price of 81 per ton, pre-
venting them almost from even making
expenses They furthermore charged
the prevailing trouble to professional
labor agitators, and claimed that the
workmen lived better and earned
more than at other mines.
which latter statement was true.

matter was referred to arbitration. An
authorized committee took the affair in

they had already allowed advances i'm

arbitrator decided I'm their favor. Tho
men appealed, arbitration was discarded
as valueless eXpedicnt for the remedy
of existing difficulties, and a lockout en-
sued. The struggle that followed was a
bitter one, replete with hard feeling,
suffering, and loss of time and money for
both capital and labor Finally, the
mine owners pretty generally conceded
the demands of their employees. A
sliding scale was arranged. whereby the
men were 10 receive pay according to
the ruling price of the coke. Some of
the operators, however, proceeded on an
independent basis, refusing to have any
dealings with labor organizations or with
union men.
Petty difficulties let to serious trou-
bles. The workmen were resolute in
new demands and complaints, the own
ers firm. Successive strikes and finally
a general lockout occurred, and all the
elements of disorder were brought into
play Outside laborers were imported,
the local police and even the military
were called in, eliminating in the ter

where for the same character of work,
and that, too, for simply handling the
shovel and plckax. Hungarians, Poles
and Italians earned from 81 to SO day
for seven to nine hours labor in dry,
well-ventilated mines, where soft nine
foot veins existed. The usual seventy
six men equipment of mine and oven
certainly averaged $3.50 per man per
annum, and, during o strike, the thrift
of the men was evidenced by the fact
that thirty-six men drew $4,000 from
the local banks
The homes from which the miners
were evicted were, in many Instances,
places of comfort and convenience. The
mine owners leased them to the workers
at prices varying from SO to SIS per
month. These houses usually had four
rooms, and hydrant water and coa were
provided free of charge. Often there
would be pretty garden spot, the
works were accessible, and the scenery
delightful, with excellent schools and
fine churches near at hand.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
coke enterprises may be gained from the
fact that one company had s., 600, 600 in
vested, controlled $4,000 acres OF coal
lands, constituting ~ separate plants,
with 10, 400 ovens in blast Three water
plants. with a capacity of 5000, 900 gal
Ions were operated, and the mines had
35 miles of railroad tracks, /, 200 cars, %
locomotives, 81 pairs of stationary en-
gines, l72 steam boilers, and SD horses
and mules.
The profit on the coke is said TO be
enormous, one firm purchasing sufficient
of the product TO insure clear gain of
5000 day, A new feature of the indus
try is the breaking of the coke into sizes
to correspond to anthra tie coal by means
o. three large machines, having a capa-
city of fifty carloads daily, which is sold
for use in FORCES, and in the manufacture
of agricultural implements.
There is but little doubt that the
troubles between laborer and employer
that have temporarily crippled the
great coke-making industry will JUS
tify themselves in time. The inter-
est is too important, and its ramiti-
cations ale too numerous and closely
allied to the best welfare of the country,
to be allowed to lie inert and unproduct-
i've. All great enterprises have period
of struggle and uncertainty, and tho
coke industry will only reach peaceful
basis of progress when permanent
settlement of existing difficulties is made
that will prove equitable alike TO the
rights of capital and labor.

An Editor Possessed with Very worth,
Motto.


RETROSPECTIVE The first night we
entered this town we slept under a
wagon on Apache avenue. We felt
tough, we looked tough, and we had
just 10 cents cash capital. We'd walked
twenty eight miles that day to get
somewhere, and after getting there the
prospects didn't seem to improve. We
were sustained, however, by deter
mination to come out on top of the
crowd If we lost both legs in the
hustle. That determination carried us
through.
~From the very first issue of the
Kicker we took for our motto, 'Ex
dono fama semper yivat, which used
to mean in our neighborhood in Now
England, Tell the truth without fear
or favor, even if you never get an Office
or own a dog We have stuck to
that motto, and while it has made
us some enemies il has also made us
host of friends and power in the land.
In pursuance of our policy we now
wish to say a word about The Great
Arizona Home Provider Company
which is advertising extensively in the
East. Its latest scheme is to adver-
tise city lots in Blue Hill City at $40
each. The city is represented as "A
hustling young town-three railroads,
two banks, one theater, 5000 people

other day. When we returned the

New York City was the scene of 8
little street drama lately which the Slt1,
thus describes: A cart was delivering
a load of coal. The willing horse tried
his best to back the vehicle to the de
sired spot, but even his great strength
was not equal to the task.
Then the driver began to beat the
animal, and this quickly collected q
crowd. He was big fellow, with Q
fierce look in his eyes, and the by
ISLANDERS were chary about interfering,
knowing what would follow.
II pity the horse, but don't want to

"Im not in the least afraid to tackle

Razor Freaks.

The finest grades of razors are so
delicate that even the famous Damas.
Gus sword blades cannot equal them in
texture 1t is not generally known
that the grain of a Swedish razor is so
sensitive that its general direction is
changed after a short service When
you buy fine razor the grain runs
from the upper end of the outer point
in diagonal direction toward the han.
die. Constant strapping will twist the
steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent
use will drag the grain outward from
the edge, so that after steady use for
several months the fiber of the steel
occupies position exactly the reverse
of that which it did on the day of pur.
chase. The process also affects the
temper of the blade, and when the
grain sets from the lower outer point
toward the back, you have q razor
which cannot be kept in condition,
even by the most conscientious bar
Der. But here's another curious freak
that will take place in the same tool /;
Leave the razor alone for q month, or
two, and when you take it up you will
find that the grain has assumed its
first position. The operation can be-
peated until the steel is worn through
to the back.-Md9lufacturer's Gazette.
