WHEELER & WILSON SHUT DOW

.
 The Factory to be Closed at Least a
 Month. ..,..
 The Wheeler & Wilson factory at Bridgeport suspended work Saturday and will remain closed until Septem- Der g. Such was the notice which was posted in conspicuous places about the factory. Many of the employees had re- ceived an intimation that the factory was to close, but others were not aware of the company's intention until they saw the posters in the factory.
 The news spread rapidly and was re- ceived with regret by the employees. Their lot during the past year has been unusually severe and many of them were just beginning to overcome the heavy membranes which had accu- mulated. when the news of the shut down reached them. g4s
 A great many of the employees of the company and the outside public gene rally are of the opinion that the closing of the factory is due to the hard times, but such is not the case. The real fact is that the Wheeler 6 Wilson, company are preparing to put.a new machine on the market, and have olcsed their fac. tory in order to make, every prepara- ton for its manufacture.

A YANKEES
Sailed His Claim and Quietly Waited for
HIS Victims.

Judge Stevens of Ironwood, is a
good story teller and. one. evening,
when the thermometer was below
zero at IrOnwoOd and the wind was
whistling outside of a coy room
where was burning a cheerful fire, he
related a tale Of a Yankees shrewd-
ness. The Judge is an old miner and
went out West with the rush for
gold. Near a claim where the Judge
was working was a thin, angular New
Englander, who just kept shoveling
orc and paid no attention to anyone
else. One day some capitalists came
along and casually picked up a few
chunks from the Yankees output.
When they got back to town they
had them assaye6 ard they yielded
wonderful results. The capitalists
jumped in the air for Joy. Then they
went lack and there wds the old fell

way" remarked n Of the capital
lists.
"Wcll, I'll get on" returned the
Yankee, plying his pick with renewed
energy.
"You should interest capital to
help you develop that hole in the
ground" continued the capitalist.
"Can develop it myself, l guess"
said the Yankee.
"Think you've got a%nything?"

Then the gentlemen took several
mor pieces Of rock and went back to
town. These asSayed even richer
than the first sam pies and the CAPT
talistS were wild with excitement.
They went lack the following day to
see the old man, who gazcd upon
them with unconccrn as they APP
preached. He was a taciturn indi-
vidual, with an honest face, and he
looked as though he would rather die
than wrong anyone.
''My friend" said one of the capt.
t~alists, ''what will you sell out for::"

"Wcll." said the Yankee, ''you
can have it ii you want, but l tell
you it's nothing but a hole in the
ground. May be worth a lot some
day, but now it amt worth sixty,

But the money was paid and the
capitalists. received the hole. The
Yankees assertions were correct.

She Caught the Train.

The married woman who is always
in a hurry and is afraid that her
husband is going to be too late, dis
played her characteristic proclivity
the other day in an amusing fashion.
She was going to New York with her
husband to attend a wedding. When
the two reached the Broad street
station they had three minutes to
spare.
The husband leisurely took his time
in purchasing the tickets and his
blasc dcmcanor irritated the wife.
Hurry. hurry. George, or we shall
miss the train" she cried, tugging
at his sleeve.
"Plenty of time" answered patcr
familias, unconcerned.
The wife trundled up the steps.
She ran for the nearest car without
waiting to see whether it was con-
nected with the train and took a
seat. The husband strolled into the
next car above, where he saw the
green flag suspended. He thought
his wife was there.
He hunted through that car and
those in front. AS he turned back
the train began to move out of the
station. He fastened to the back
platform, only to see his dear wife
franticallY waving her hands on the
platform Of the car that was not
coupled with the train. The we'd
ding was missed and the wife now
has decided that it is better to he
with her husband. - Philadelphia
