Copies of Ii.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-The vigorous
letter from Attorney-general Olney. read in
Judge Dallass court yesterday, caused
more of stir in labor circles to-day than
any other event since the Chicago strike.
Labor leaders openly boasted that the let
ter carried with it the support and SYM
pathy of the entire Cleveland administra-
ton, and they will use it for all it is worth.
One of their first steps is to have half a
million copies of 1t printed for distribution
all over the country. Judge Dallas declined
tonight to discuss the matter in any way
or TO tell when he would reach his anxious
ly awaited decision. At the Reading office
President Harris contented himself by say
ing that his corporation would abide by the
decision of the court, no matter which side
won, and that neither the Olney letter nor
any other influence would in any way ef-
feet their future treatment of their en-
plOyes.

ran around and bounded, until all at
once, puff. he fell and struck himself a
hard blow. After he had recovered
himself a bit, he said to himself: Il
wonder if this ice is very strong?' And
he asked the ice: Say ice, are you very
strong?" VERY strong said the ice.
"If you are so strong, why does the sun
melt you? The sun is stronger than you
that's why he melts you" Then he
turned to the sun and said: Say, sun,
are you strOng?' VERY strong" said
the sun. IF you are so strong, why do
you let the clouds cover you. The
clouds are stronger than you" Then
Say, Clouds are you strongY' Very

so strong, why do you let the noun
talns arrest you? The mountains are
stronger than you" Then he turned to
the mountain and said: Say, noun
tain are you strOng?' Every strong
replied the mountain. "Indeed,' said
the hare, ''if you are so strong, why
do you let the mole dig into you" The
mole is stronger than you" Having
spoken thus, he turned to the mole and
asked: Say, mole, are you strong?'
VERY strong" replied the mole. If
you are so strong" replied the hare,
''why do you let the cat eat you? The
cat is stronger than you.'' Then he turn

cat. Then the hare not being able to
