But yesternight to mountains crest
Has fallen back, and in its track
Destroyed the path thy feet had pressed,
Poor tired clay!

Thy journey ends beneath the ground,

Mother Spring.
On tree and bush,
There Is the hush
OF little buds asleep;
And nursing spring
Doth softly sing,
And tender yigils keen.

Her lullabies

Her breath is sweet perfume;
She, anxious, waits
And hssitates
To wake them into bloom.

Doubtful Compliment.

An English paper quotes the fol.
lowing story of a certain prominent
American. We suspect that the
gentleman told the story about him
self. on the principle which he seems
thoroughly to have learned, that no
joke is so highly appreciated as one
which the victim himself narrates.
One evening during an election
campaign this gentleman, who is an
amateur politician on large scale,
spoke at a certain town in the in
terror of New York State. The next
morning the chairman Of the local
committee took him for drive about
the place. They had reached the
suburbs and were admiring the
scenery, when man wearing a blue
shirt and overallS lett his oX-team and
approached the carriage.

The Inventors of Strikes.

A writer on labor asserts that
strikes were invented by the Chinese,
and the rest of the world has simply
infIinged on the patent. The Chi
nese, he says, will strike for anything
or for nothing. If 10000 Of them
have bad dinner they will strike.
In connection with this it is worthy
Of remark that the Italians are less
prone to strike than any other labor.
ers, the one sure way OF bringing
them to the point being the with
holding of their wages. They are
very suspicious, and If not paid 10
full at the appointed hour take alarm,
fearing that they arc going to lose
their earnings. Such a thought sets
them wild. Argument is useless.
The employer who gets behind with
his pay roll is lost
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1893-08-05

THE immediate occasion of the
Australian revulsion was the long
strike OF 1890, reacting on COM
munity in which the credit system
had been abused. Nearly three years
ago all the workmen in Australia
struck and remained on strike for
nearly six months. The strike be-
gan with the coast seaman's union;
but it extended alphabetically to
the sheep-shearers, miners and all
other classes of wage-earners. 1t was
not called off until all the unions of
the several trades in the colonies had
exhausted the funds in their treas
uries, which were large, and until
every workman had wasted his indi-
vidual savings, which, IN the aggre.
gate, were also large Industry had
been prosperous for many years and
wages high. The savings of the
working classes and the amounts real.
lied by the assessments levied by the
| unions constituted a formidable sum.
All this was wasted, and, not only
that, for nearly or quite six months
| all industries were at Standstill and
their product was nil. II an earth
quake had swallowed up all the saw
ings of labor and had locked up every
able bodied man IN the colonies in an
underground prison for six months,
it's effect would have been precisely
what the effect of the strike was.

How a TOngue-Tied Barber Talks.

An uptown barber has arranged a
unique continuance by which he is
not only enabled to save himself con.
siderable annoyance, but also turns
the tables on some OF his customers
who have been 'suying" him at a
tremendous rate. Strange as it may
seem, this barber is tongue-tied.
Some OF his old customers tor
mented him to such an extent that
last week he determined to get even.
Right in front of the chairs he has
arranged a number Of wooden Stats
One side is perfectly plain, but when
jolly customer comes in for his
shave and tries to work off some Of
his fun at the expense of the knight
Of the razor he finds that she's not
in it."
Here if one of the conversations
which occurred Saturday night:
"HOw dO?" asked the customer as
ke settled back in his chair.
Mr.. Barber never said word, but
ne pulled string, one of the Stats re-
volved, and the word Great stared
the questioner in the face. The lat
ter was stumped, and he kept quiet
for awhile. He eyed the Stats and
then ventured the query: Flows
trade?"
Another string was pulled and an
other Stat showed the word Tough. "
well, that beats me-" said the
customer. He was regular and
paid the tonsorial artist once in two
weeks, every pay day, and started to
leave the shop Then he was tapped
on the shoulder, another string was
pulled and the admonition, or CON-
mand, rather, PAY up" looked at
him. He did so, but he says he won't
trv to 'guy" that barber any more. -

AN UGLY WEAPON.
Tho Manufacture OF the Gimlct Knife For.
hidden by Law,

Ihc Manufacture OF the Gimlct Knife For.
hidden by Law.
The gimlet knife is weapon 50
dangerous that Its manufacture is
forbidden by law. This is one of the
smallest fighting knives used by any
people OF the earth and one of the
most deadly. In length this knife
is hardly longer than long gimlet,
so that it can readily be concealed
inside the waistband of the trousers,
The handle is not set on parallel with
the blade, rs an ordinary knife, but
at right angles. like that OF a gimlet,
hence the name.
This handle is grasped with the
blade between the second and third
fingers, the upper part Of the blade
being drawn down to shank, so as to
prevent cutting the fingers when the
knife is so held. The blade when in
position represents snerely an extern
sion OF the axis of the arm. as the
villain in the play holds his knife.
The blade is made Of the best razor
steel, is double. edged for the lower
two-thirds Of its length, and is as
keen as razor 1t is not dagger
pointed, but has the stronger forma-
tion Of rounding point. The blade
is short, but long enough to inhict a
fatal wound, and so strong and clean
that it will divide rib under a pow
erful blow, or cut through any gar
ment like so much paper
The peculiar position of the handle
leaves nothing for an adversary to
grasp at the blade, so that it is al
most impossible for the wielder of
the knife to be disarmed, the more
so as the handle curves in at the end,
giving the fingers better hold upon it.

WHAT is to be done with the tramp?

To pursue this course may be to drive
him to thieving, or worse, Ii food
and clothes are not furnished him
cow, irons and the lookup are pretty
sure to be needed later on. The issue
may he avoided now. but in time it
will be forced upon us. The tramp
must be cared FOR in some way. For
the individual to attempt this by
giving temporary help not only Goes
no. solve the problem, but compli-
