ri Milwaukee, May 5. "A strike Of the
9OO employees of the Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway and Lis ht company was
inaugurated last night, ana as each car
was run into the barn motorman and
conductor left it not to return until the
demands of the union for Increased
pay, recognition Of the employees or
ganization and several minor conces-
slons are granted The electric rail-
4 way company has seen that a strike
was certain to occur, and has been
Quietly arranging to fill the places of
the strikers. A number Of men have
been brought here from other cities to
take the places Of the strikers, and
are CHARTERED in the several barns.
@2 The directors of the road positively
nefuse to grant two of the leading re-
quests-those for higher wages and
the settlement of difficulties by arbi-
trat1on. The officials, however, sig
nlhed their willingness to discuss the
minor grievances with the men. Cen
#erai Manager Wyman said that no dis
cHsslon would alter the determination
OF the directors to ccncede nothing in
their position relative to wages and
arbitration, and the men said that no
agreement could be accepted by them
in which present conditions in these
respects form a part.
s Negro cooks arrived from Chicago
last night and were at once taken to
the car barns where arrangements
mad been made to feed the new men,
who will sleep in the barns as long as
they are in any danger Of violence.
Similar arrangements will be made at
the power house on River street
General Manager Wyman, of the
company, had a conference with May
or Rauschenberger and Chief of Po-
lice Jansen and received assurances
that everything possible would be
done TO protect the companys proper
ty. At least 100 special policemen
were sworn in to-day. Some of them
were stationed at the barns and DOW
er houses, and others were placed on
the cars to protect the ne wmen. The
strike has tied up the entire electric
and street railway service of the city.
me several lines are owned By the
one company, and every employe Of
the road is a member of the union. In
addition to the street railway en-
ployes. the electric light employees are
involved, and will probably strike this
afternoon. They number. 800 men. and
operate the only electric lighting plant
IN the city. Unless the company is
prepared to man the power house, the
city will be without light tonight ex-
cept for gas. r.. ...-,

presented the ridiculous spectacle of a
future president, Il supreme court JUS

gressmen and as many great lawyers,
all stark naked on horseback. riding
single file through an open country,
under a hot, summer sun. and. as it de-

under their horses feet to house a

In silence and with growing Sis
picion the gentlemen made the march
across the bottom and dismounted be-
yond the bridge to dress. They looked
at n another inquiringly. and all
looked at Lincoln, but not a line in his
face betrayed him. In silence they
dressed and proceeded on their way to
Postville, and no man cared to discuss
the strange adventure.

smile, Il always had a suspicion that

Ministering to "A Quiet Kentucky Flock.

In Il pleasant. social little Kentucky
town not long ago a new minister arriv-
ed. Fervent in his mission against the
world. the flesh and the evil one and
not duly considering the points of his
compass, he delivered from his pulpit
the first Sunday II TRADE against card
playing. On Monday the wealthiest
member of his flock called on him and
said:
"Oh, dear Brother Parker, your ser.
mon was very unwise. You will offend
half your people if you talk against
cards. We are Just II little quiet com.
munity all by ourselves here, and We
play cards whenever we want to. Dom;
say anything more about card playing"
So the next Sunday the new preacher
launched ont on dancing. Again the
wealthy member visited him to say that
his church people had always danced all
they wanted to, and be must not say
anything more against dancing. The
evil Of horse racing was his subject the
following Sunday, and this brought the
rich member to him in great distress OF
mind.
Great goodness, Brother Parker, this
is one of the finest horse sections in the
state! You are beside yourself when
you try to put down horse racing"
"Wcll, said the respondent preach
er, ''if you say so I'll have to let these
evils alone. Next Sunday I'll abuse the
Jews"

member, "but don't overlook the fact

Tho dolasses of the Kaffirs and Hot

ly the same things served in tho most
ancient time for dice, and these are
knuckle bones, which. under the name
of astralgi, children played with in old
Greece and Rome. We have today a
beautiful antique statue of a girl play
ing with knuckle bones. The Mashonas
use something made of bone which re-
sembles the Roman tall. These dolasses
do not bear numbers, but peculiar,

THE TRACER


on the 1nstaiinient Plan.
One Of the most important men in the
employ Of u firm that makes u specially
of selling goods on the installmeut plan
is the tracer" His duty, us his name
signifies, is TO find ont the whereabouts
of delinquent customers, who think to
get out of the trouble of future pay
ments by quietly moving away and neg
Letting to leave their now address.
Nothing could be more foolish than
such a course. for this IS Il feature Of
the business that the installmunt houses
have reduced 10 Il science. 1t is obvious
that i'll this city the great majority Of
those who purchase goods on weekly
payments live i'll flats. This makes il Il
comparatively easy matter for the deal
ers to keep them under surveillance, for
Il Of the first things the collector does
is to see the j%anitor and inform him
which families in the house have bought
goods on the installment plan. 1t pays
to fee the janitOr for this service, for he
is i'll "a position to know when any NOV
ing is about to take place, and the in
formation he gives the collector has
been the means of nipping in the bud
many Il well laid scheme to get out Of
paying a furniture bill.
Sometimes, of course, it happens that
a dishonest family will move away in
such Il hurry that the ianitor is unable
10 inform the firm i'll time. In such an
event the tracer" is put on the case.
He sets about his work with the method
of the trained detective. He is familiar
with the name and address of every fur
niture mover in the city, and his ac-
quaintance among the helpers is SO OK
tensiye that it is more than likely he
has u personal friend among the men
who moved the family he is seeking.
With such advantages his task is not
nearly so hard as the uniIitiated would
imagine, and there would bo fewer at
tempts made to beat" the installment
dealers if it were better known how lit

When Solid Iron Floats.

Experiments lately made in England
show that if a ball of solid iron is low
cred into Il mass of liquid iron by means
of a metal fork the ball at first sinks to
the bottom with the fork. But i'll a
few seconds it leaves the prongs and
rises to the surface. where it continues
to float until it melts. The rising is ex-
planned by the expansion of the ball,
due to heating. whereby it becomes,
bulk for bulk, less dense than the mott

He Induced a Distinguished Party to
Present a Strange Spectacle.

"h"iSi a. w." s-'
diculous were born of his melancholy
and sadness. The grotesque and ridi-
culous relieved him from his long peri
DDS of gloomy and absorbing thought,
as an awkard and unnatural stretch
and strain of the muscles will rest a
man from long sitting. For days at a
time he was almost unapproachable,
distracted and gloomy beyond eXpla-
nation, and following this condition he
would relate for hours the most foolish
stories, for the amusement of whatever
crowd might gather about him. and he
would keep his audience convulsed
with laughter.
The stories he related to his new
friends were all drawn from his close
observation of homely human nature,
and were of the earth earthly. He had
great powers of mimicry, his mobile
face responded perfectly to his emo
tons, and his climax was inimitable.
Nearing the close OF his story he would
rise slowly from his chair, his long
arms extended and rising, his face en-
livened, and his auditors would catch
their breath in anticipation. With the
denouement he was standing at his
full length, his arms above his head,
his face upturned, when he would
plump bach into his chair and slap his
knees with his hands. The effect was
irresistible.
There is a rush-seated hickory chair
in OILERS drug store, in Springfield,
that has been broker by Lincoln at the
close of one of his funny Indiana
stories.
In his lighter moods, Lincoln got
much amusement from his children.
His little boys, Tad and viii. were his
constant companions when the father
was out of the depths and he was
largely responsible for their being
spoiled" children. Mr.. Rollin Diller,
who was Lincoln's neighbor in Spring
field. told me that one day at dinner he
heard children crying in the street in
front of his house. The commotion
was so violent and unusual that Mr..
Diller left the table and hurried to the
door to see what the matter was. Mr.
Lincoln was Just passing the house.
On his shoulder was Tad, pounding his
father on the head and screaming with
anger and grief. VIII was ~clinging to
his fathers coat-tails, pulling back and
stamping his feet with rage, and cry
ing at the top of his voice.
Great goodness. Mr.. Lincoln" ex-
claimed Mr.. Diller, what is the trou-
BILE with the boys?"
Same trouble with them there is
with the whole world. I've got three
walnuts, and each boy wants two"
Judge David Davis used to tell a
story. characteristic of Lincoln fun
which l believe has never been in
print:
In the days when the lawyers and
judges of Illinois rode to the circuit,
on horseback, a party of ten or a dozen
OF the best known men in the country
went from Springfield to Postville,
then the capital of Logan county to
attend court. The Jury included Lin
coin, David Davis, afterward supreme
court Judge by Lincoln's appointment.
Stephen A. Douglas. Stepben r r,osa,
Col. Ed. Baker and Others of the same
stamp. In fact, every man in the party
later figured in national affairs.
