HIS Joke. ON the Doctors.


who had his stand there and he did not
want to disturb him.
HIS Joke ON the Doctors.
Another interesting story Of him has
reference to his lot on the east side of
14th street between New York avenue and
H street. He would never improve the
property in any way. and as it was above
grade every rain brought down a lot of
mud onto the sidewalks of the neighbors.
They protested to such an extent that Mr..
Willard was finally compelled by the au-
thorfties to take down a disreputable fence
that surrounded 1t and to improve Il in
other ways so that it would be less of a
nuisance. He said he would get even
with the neighbors, and he did. He turned
the property over to a marble cutter, who
covered the place with tombstones. The
joke Is better appreciated when it is said
that pretty much every house in the vicin-
fty is occupied by medical man. They
never have appreciated the humor of the
incident.
Mr.. Willard often had checks cashed by
local banks, sometimes of course, for very
large sums He would go up TO Riggs
Bank and If the amount he wanted was
$4,000 he would write out check on his
New York bank on any little slip Of paper
he had in his pocket, the edge of piece of
newspaper or the blank page from the back
of book. Then he would lay down $4,000
in government bonds and ask that they be
held as security until his check was paid.
he was invariably told that no security
was necessary, but just the same every
time he had check cashed he always put
down the amount in government bonds.
That his bank account was a large one
was shown when he purchased H. K. Will
lards share in the Willard Hotel. He
wrote out a check for $30O.O0O, a thing
which no: every millionaire could do Off
hand.
Mr.. Willard's son has already become
well and favorably known. He is ex-
tremely popular. both here and in Virginia.
He has hosts of friends who admire him
made a prominent place for himself in
Virginia, and has taken an active part
in the politics of the old dominion. having
served the Fairfax district in the legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Willard was for great many years
a pewholder at the New York Avenue Pres
by yterian Church. and while he was never
known as particularly charitable man. 1t
is said that he frequently gave goodly sums
to the support Of the church.

Action was taken by the four NOM

V. Debs, William E. Burns, Royal M.
Goodwin and Sylvester Kelliher-and
the vote was unanimous. 1t placed the

A Big Kick Coming.

Mutterings of storm are being
heard in Duluth printeries. The print
ers have a grievance, and one, too, in
which employees and employers are
equally interested, and on the same side.
A gross injustice has been done Duluth
and one that the industrial and CONNER
cial organizations of the city needs to in
vestigate. The printing for the county
fair has been taken out of the city. The
contract was let to the Star Publishing
Co., which had it's work done somewhere
inWisconsln.I It is only fair to say for the
management of the fair that when the
contract was first let the Star Publish
ing company had domicile in Duluth.
There is one remedy, put it in your con-
tracts that the work must be done at
home and then if it is not, you don't
have to accept it. p. - = I, 49, i4&1>s

cessful result.
Miners Victorious.


The striking miners. while they have
not won all that could be desired, haye
achieved substantial victory. In pur-
suance to the recent Columbus conven-
ton $4,000 bituninous coal miners re-
turned to work Tuesday. The wages at
which the men 60 back is based on 90
cents ton in Pittsburg. In Illinois
and West Virginia the strike is still I'M
settled as the operators there have not
vet conferred with their men. If they
do not agree to the terms the fight will
be kept up in those states until the end
of the year when present contracts ex-
pire.
Substantial advantages have been
gained by the strike, not the least of
which is the practical recognition OF the
principle of "uniform prices' for all
competing mining regions. It has lasted
twelve weeks and has shown that the
miners, where organized, not only were
capable of making vigorous fight for
their rights, but also that it could be
done along peaceable lines, the calling
out of he troop and the arming of depu-
ties, in almost every case where there
was any need for such actions at all,
being made necessary by the turbulence
of foreigners who were either not organ
lied, or being just recently organized,
were not disciplined in union tactics.

compelling the employers and their fore
men and bosses, to be released from their
membership in the organization. in Or
der that the original purpcs' for the
bettermont of the wage-earners may not
longer be interfered with.
The dispute existing between the
United Uatters Of North America and
the John B. Stetson company was also
matter of discussion and some of the
executive officers of the federation will
requ est the firm to recognize the union
of hatters and to grant fair and reason
able conditions to Their employees. On
application of the Canmakers' union for
a general boycott of firms antagonistic
to the unions interest the conclusion
was reached that it would be more adj
visable and more just to examine into
each Individual complaint, in order that
firms who would agree to employ union
help might not be placed at a disadvan-
tage, as they would be under general
boycott.
The council alse resolved to continue
it's present organization in the mining
districts of West Virginia and illinois
and also to appoint two additional or
ganizers to aid the miners in those
states in effecting an early settlement of
their wages based upon the agreement

Dust Baths.

All animals have natural tenden-
cy to cleanliness. The hog, the COM
mon type Of filth, is not by any
means as dirty as we would suppose
if given an opportunity to be clean,
and in this he needs only as much
assistance from man as horse de-
mands. The result will prove his
natural tendency to cleanliness. The
hen has aversion to bathing in wa
ter. Her substitute is the dust bath,
which answers the same purpose
for cleaning her feathers. A dust
bath is very essential to the health
of all fowls. In winter, when the
outside ground is frozen hard, a
substitute should be provided in the
shape of box filled with dry sand
mixed with coal ashes or road dust.
Watch your hens on bright, sunny
day in winter and see how they en-
joy this bath. They pick the dust
into their feathers, roll first on one
side, then on the other and seem to
sift the dry dirt into every part of
their feathered coat. It cleanses
them and frees them from their
mortal enemy, the lice. One would
suppose that hen lice were very
clean themselves, since they have
such a dread of dirt, and it is true
they cannot exist where dirt or dust
abounds. The dust bath is therefore
very necessary for the health and
happiness of your fowls. It should
be placed where the sun can shine
into it. This makes it attractive,
and your hens will soon avail them
selves Of it, Country Gentleman:
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1897-09-25
Throwing Rice and Slippers.

In The Ladies' Home Journal Ed
ward w. BOX notes the abuse of the
pretty custom of casting a small
parcel of rice or a dainty slipper
after a departing bride and groom,
an unspoken godspeed. "The dainty
SLIPPER he also says, ''has been
transformed into the old shoe Of
doubtful origin and thrown with
force and accuracy, causing no end
of discomfort, and this is what two
pretty customs have >degenerated
into; They have been vulgarized,
and therefore the sooner they pass
into disuse the better. The senti-
ment of the customs has been lost.
Rice and shoes are no longer omens
of good luck. The modern thrower
of them has transformed them into
missiles with which to annoy and
mortify the bride and groom. The
better class of people have already
begdn to substitute shower of rose
petals, and this new and far more
beautiful idea is rapidly being fol-
lowed. We might have preserved
the old customs, but we have not.
Henceforth promiscuous rice throw
ing and the casting Of old shoes at
weddings will be left to the Doors
of our modern society, into whose
hands these acts have fallen and
who seem happiest when they can
convert the graceful customs of
olden times into practical jokes
