WILL STRIKE IF NECESSARY.
Detroit Switchmen Willing to Assist
Their Brethren.

DiTROIT, MlCh.s Aug. 23.-Ihe switch
mems association ofthls city has thoroughly
discussed the Buffalo strike situation. The
members tind that there is nothing Tor
them to do at present excepting to refuse to
handle trains that might be- sent out to
carry men employed to take places of those
on strike. 1t is practically admitted by the
SWITCH en that as soon as strike on their
part may prove beneficial to their brethren
in the East they will lot hesitate to quit
work, but all 0: the men who have been
seen voice the hope that such an emergency
may not arise, as they are treated Wei here
and have no grievance at present.
Mill Men Go Out
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Special, Aug. 23.-.
About 1000 saw mill employees struck for
ten hours and eleven hours pay this morn
ing. Mills Of the Empire Lumber COM
pany, Valley Lumber company, Della
Lumber company. and Mississippi River
Logging company We're not started up
while the Daniel Shaw company started
only part OF its saw mill. And this after-
noon all the Daniel Shaw men also quit in
body. A popularity Of the strike is that
the men made a formal and respectful de-
mand for ten hours and struck simultan-
eocsly. Mill owners who might have been
in favor of ten hours have been disguised
by this, as they were given no time to con-
slider. At the Valley Lumber company's
plant there were only seven men in the
saw mill when the time arrived for starting
up at a. Ill.
A petition was delivered at 7 o'clock to
President Carson, who simply received it
and n'de no reply. The petition Of the
employees of the Mississippi longing com.
pauy was handel to Superintendent Chu.e
by committ' e at $50 this morning. just as
as he was leaving his house. 49,.
He inquired as to when it was desired the
ten-hour plan should take effect. and the
committee si.nlted that 1t was desired at
once. Mr.. Chute replied that he thought
this rather short notice. Qurte large
number Of men we at the Mississippi mills
ana wanted to go 10 work, but were not
permitted to do SO. AT the Empire and
Dells plant only a few appeared for work.
At the ellis the ma who presented the
petition said he wanted it back so he could
burn 1t. There are no indications that the
demand wi i be granted by any Of the COM
panles. Representatives of the Empire and
Valley mills say positively it will not.

4 GOOD WORD FOR THE SALVATION ARMY.

Boston Iomlds Report
The Rev Philip :. Moxom lat meeting To raise
money for n Rescue HOmcl said that, since ms
study of the work OF the salvation Army in England,
he had had the most profound respect and tho deepest
sympathy for the SalvatiOniats.
They keep the back door open for the wan
dercr" he said. hut this Is only 1.-THE of what
they do. There has been some fashionable stun.
ming in Boston. but delicate young ladies cannot
handle this work.
There are three reasons why the salvation Army
should establish this home First, the Army wishes
to do IT, and proposes to do II without kid gloves and
without any moral squeamlShness. They have tho
nerve TO do IT, Never In the history of the church
Of Christ has there been body which has had the
courage to face the nth of human nature rs they
have. They have the fibre and the discipline and
the resolution To- go where almost no else go.
Secondly they have demonstrated by experience their
ability TO do this work. Mr.. MoyOm then described
his visit To Sydcnham. at the great mass meeting OF
100000 savntonists when converts testified 10 their
conversion from the awful Z" EatterSea slums.p IL
was the revelations of that day which made Mr..
Moxom resolve that whenever he coud he would
help the salvation Army. 81 don't care" he said,

The Early Girl.

Principal North OF the graded
school at Plantsville, c., recently
offered couple OF handsome trout
poles to be given as prizes to the two
pupils who should catch the first and
second trout after Easter. He had
his eye on two bright curly headed
boys as the probable winners of the
prizes, and inwardly hoped for their
success. But the poles were not for
them. On the morning after Easter
two pretty girls OF 26 rose from their
beds at the first streak OF dawn, don
ned tall rubber boots, borrowed their
brothers trouting gear, dug box of
horrid anglewornls, and We're whipping
a neighboring stream before
the bright boys were out of their
cribs.
They were back in time for break
fast, and an hourlater displayed their
catch, a dozen handsome trout, to
the ostonished principal. Mr.. North,
however, was equal to the occasion.
In the presence of the assembled
school he complimented his two smart
girl pupils on their ambition, alacrity,
and cleverness, and presented the
trout rods to them. Then the school
cheered. The old maxim about early
rising has since undergone revision
in Connecticut. 1t now reads thus:

A Furious Snake.

An intelligent Burman told me that
friend OF his one day stumbled upon
a nest OF serpents, and Immediately
reiterated, but the old female gave
chase. The man fled with all speed
over hill and dale, dingle and glade,
and terror seemed to add wings to his
flight, till reaching a small river he
plunged in, hoping he had then escaped
this fiery enemy; but 10! on reaching
the opposite bank, up reared the
furious Hamadryad, its dilated eyes
glistening with rage, ready to bury its
fangs in his trembling body. In utter
despair he bethought himself OF mis-
,turban, and in a moment dashed it
upon the serpent, which darted upon
it like lightning, and for some mo-
menrs wreaked its vengeance in furious
bites, after which it returned quietly
to its former haunts. Letter from

A REAL ROHANCE,

The Remarkable Experience Of a
Cittzsn OF Indiana.
That truth is stranger than fiction
has been once more proved by the ex-
perience OF S. N. Lock, prominent
and wealthy resident OF Richmond
County, Ind, who has had most re-
markable experience with some Chi
cago real estate. parties, by which he
finds himself richer by $4,000 while
he did not expect a cent. Twenty
years ago he was in Chicago and pur-
chased a lot in the Boulevard addi-
ton. He paid very small price for
it. He came back home without hav-
ing his deed recorded. A few days
after he lost the deed, and being un-
able to secure another without going
to law he allowed the matter to drop.
1t now transpires that upon the
same day Lock lost the deed it was
found by John Ritchey, who was
afflicted with brain trouble. Placing
the deed in his pocket, he laid it away
among other papers. A few months
later Ritcaey died, but no notice was
paid to- 81 package OF what was sup
posed to be worthless papers that
were included among his effects until
q few days ago, when his son opened
the papers and found the deed from
Chicago to Mr.. Lock. He at once de-
livered it to him. Lock placed it in
the hands of his attorney, w. T. Ed
ward, who sent it to Chicago. Mr..
Lock received a letter from the per-
sons in possession OF the lot Offering
him $50, 900 for q warranty deed. He
sent his acceptance OF the offer. Had
the deed remained concealed 10 days
longer it would have been valueless on
account OF the law Of limitation.

through the beautiful plantations,
and entered the richly furnished house.

her. Brace, who never let anything

chin rehectively as he looked around

Well-Bred Fowl,

1t is a very foolish errorto suppose
that fine fowls are more susceptible
to disease than the common dunghill
On the contrary, q well-bred flock of
thoro'bred chickens, are less liable
to contract disease, from the fact
that good breeding has established in
them constitutions and powers OF en-
durance, while promiscuous crossing
and recrossiny OF dunghills has
weakened these chara cteristics. The
great size and extra egg productiveness
OF the thorough-bseds is the result OF
years OF judicious breeding from the
very strongest and most healthy
specimens. The gain in size and
productiveness has carried with it a
corresponding gain in vigor and en-
durance.-American Farmer.

Lola came back in a little while,
weak and exhausted, but with a smile
upon her poor face. She sat close to

arm, and resting her cheek against
my shoulder. Her love was too inno-
