will not listen, and
,, Those who will listen seem to be
frightened.
The experiment on hand, therefore,
appears to be one that cannot be has

LabOrerS' Wages Reduced.

The farm laborer must suffer with
the mechanic. miner and all other
classes of working people. The farmer
himself is receiving very little encour-
agement just now. His fruit crop mas
been ruined by cold weather, and his
fields badly damaged by storms. AL
though his wheat fields look well and
give indications of a large yield he
thinks of the extremely low price he
will get for it and realizes that even
with good crop he will have all he
can do to clear expenses. With this
condition of affairs the farmers find 1t
necessary to reduce the wages of day
laborers. Many Of the farmers who
have been paying seventyfve cents a
day are now only paying fifty cents

He Was Harmless.

to a Gtode- Democr0t reporter. II had
set out to walk from the station to the
ranch of an old friend, some four miles
out. and when had covered about
half the distance gigantic mountain
lion came siding up to me.
y had not even IA pocket knife, and
as the fiction grinders say my feelings
can be better imagined than described.
When Il few feet distant he stopped
and looked me over, and | thought he
was trying to make up his mind what
portion he preferred for breakfast. |
had heard much of the power of the
human eye. and | proceeded to put on
the most tragic frowu aud to stare at
him fixedly
This 50 overcame him that he sat
down on his launches, batted his eyes
and came slowly up to me, rubbed his
head against my trembling knees and
made Il purring sound that resembled
giant cotfee-mlll in motion. He was
evidently not hungry.
81 walked slowly along in the direct
ION OF the ranch, and that powerful
cat continued to rub against nv limbs
and purr. There was not a tree or a
house for the entire distance. and the
brute stuck to me like cookie burr
to merlno sheep. When | raped
at the door he got down and made his
toilet by rubbing his big paws oyer
his face. When my friend opened the
door found that had inadvertently
dropped my voice along the road some

The Coal Strike.

The situation in the mining districts
where strikes are on, has not mater

little prospect of an agreement be-
tween the operators AMI miners.
There have been. and are being yet
conferences held between them, but
they are apparently as they were
when the strike occurred a month ago.
The situation in some sections owing
to the continuation of the strike, is
becoming serious, many industries
being unable to obtain coal for
running their operations. The regions
which have not been touched by the
strike are unable to supply the de-
mand, and orders are being filled in

Better Than Insurance.

A new fire-proof paint is being put
ON the market, which is said to give
absolute protection against the spread
of flames. The fire resisting element
in these paints is said to be a chemical
substance which, when subjected to
heat, fuses, and forms protective
coating to the wood, thus preventing
the access of air, and making it i'm
possible for the wood, thus coated to
blaze. The substance is insoluble in
water, does not evaporate, nor are its
fire-resisting properties diminished by
age and exposure. They are adapted
for every purpose for which ordinary
paints are Observation-Disclosures Record.
