One seldom hears a story more piquantly
favored with the real old New England
humor than that told about Uncle Gideon
the characters of the town. AT that time the
Methodists used to gather at the houses
to hold their PRAYER meetings, and as
Gideon was a devout worshiprer of that
creed he was a regular attendant. One
night the meeting was held at the house of
Harlow Harden, and Gideon was there.
In those lays excitement ran high, and
just as the enthusiasm of the assemblage
Harden, as he was always called, arose to
his feet and, lifting up his hand, shouted
in a voice full of fevor: GLORY to Gideoni'

READY FOR A RIOT.
The Lockout of Textile Workers As
Stunning an Alarming Aspect.

PROVIDENCE, r.. l., March 2f.-The
operatives of the Atlantic mills of Olney-
vile held a mass meeting this afternoon
and discussed the lockout, All the speeches
were bitter against the mill owners, and
the meeting lasted several hours, but it
was decided to delay aggressive action. as
it is expected that a general strike will be
ordered by the district council of textile
workers within a few days. The locked out
operatives are in q state bordering on riot.
and II is feared that the leaders cannot
keep them under control until arrangements
are perfected for calling a general strike of
the 5000 textile workers in the district.
Threats against the mill property are freely
made and the owners are becoming uneasy.
A secret meeting OF the district council was
held last night, but the doings became pub
lie to-day. The committee decided that the
manufacturers had broken their agreement
with the operatives and the time had come
when they should return to the old schedule
OF wages, the reduction OF which the opera
tives accepted under protest in 1893. The
council also agreed 10 call a general strike
as soon as they can decide on the nature
of the demand to be made. a portion of the
council favoring a return to the old schedule
and the remainder a compromise prcpcsi-

Rudyard Kipling's somewhat, saturnine
reputation in Brattleboro society Is onset
by the description of one who saw him at
a little hotel in Gloucester last summer.
There he showed himself snost modest,
ingenious and companionable. He read
some uupublished jungle stories to the
guests, and not only entertained, but gave
himself up agreeably to entertainment. He
was especially pleased by the performances
in negro dialect Of a Southern girl. One
song, an almost incommunicable jargon, he
got her to repeat, and the next day, when
surprised the company by singing the ditty
from beginning to end with a sly twinkle
and the droflest imitation.
