use the lariat to stop runaway horses,
and all are experts with the rope. The
Captain of the Golden Gate Park squad
says his men "can stop horse within
distance of fifty yards without the
slightest danger to themselves" and
he implies, though he doesn't distinctly
say so, without danger to the runaway
or its rider.

Here, Eva, child, another cup of
coffee -
As his daughter received the empty
cup, he noticed something of an ex-
preston of sadness on her usually
bright face, and his conscience re-
preached him as being the cause of it.
Since the death of his wife, whom he
had tenderly loved, his daughter had
been dearer TO him than anything on
earth, and he did not like to see her
looking unhappy.
"What is the days programme,
Evie?' he asked, quite mildly.

she poured out the coffee, and her
aunt, Miss Maddox, quietly answered
for her:

sister answered. at is only the sec

of course, you can't blame him for

WHEELING, w. Va. Oct. 29.-There
has long ueen bad blood between the
union and non-uuion glass-workers at
Wellsburg, and when the glass works
broke away from the union two weeks
ago this feud was intensified. Among
the non-union men recently employed
was Hugh Gordon, of Philadelphia.
Yesterday morning the mouth-pieces
ofall the blow-pipes at the Riverside
works were secured and washed for
fear that some of the union men might
have attempted to carry out the
threats they have made about using
poison. After the dinntf@ @hear the
men did not repeat the precautionary
measures taken in the morning Hugh
Gordon WAS the first man to put his
blow-pipe to his mouth. He threw it
down and ran to water tub, his
mouth seeming to be full Of liquid fire
The water seemed to make the burning
worse, and the first swallow carried
the burning fluid into his throat and
stomach. Doctor after doctor was
called. None Of them gave any relief
until one resOrted to heroic measures
and by the use of dangerous drug
neutralized the action Of the acid, but
two ghastly holes bad been eaten
through Gordon's lower lip, and all
the exposed mepbraneous surfaces are
so iniamed and swollen that the lower
lip is turned inside out over the chin
The mouth, palate, t0usils and lining
OF the throat and passage to the stom-
ach are nearly eaten away. Gordon
will probably die. The doctors are un-
able TO determine what acid or aciCs
were used in the blow-pipe, as the
effects ARE so much more severe than
anything they have ever known and
the usual antidotes are of no use. Two
other nnu-union wOrkmen were also
badly burned, but neither of them are
in dangerous condition. Charles
Brsdy, an ex-union employe at River
side, was arrested last night, 'Ht there
was no evidence on which to hu.Q him.

victim, had he been within the orank's
