It is no unusual thing to hear men
speak of the eastern and western sec
lions of cur land as if they were sepa

enoes of surroundings undoubtedly ere,
ate in minor matters diversfties of in
terest, but while loyal responses to the
unspol1en needs of the helpless and for

the heart Of the American people can
not be really divided.
From papers published on opposite
sides of the continent we take two In
stances that show that American M
ture is essentially the same, whether
found upon the eastern seaboard or
in the faraway stretches of the western
land.
Not very long ago there was seen

bore a tiny coffin, and by INSIDE walked

But as the little cortegc moved on the

might be anything else, so far as the
impression which it conveys to the An

She had been suffering with an attack
Of malaria, and the physician had left
a prescription. Her mother, after the
doctors departure, picked up piece of
paper, and was almost out of the room
when cry of anguish arrested her.

Spouse.

be a big miners strike in this district
involving about 10000 miners. 1t is the
result of the coal war. which has COM
PEELED operators to reduce wages. Min
ers have been asked TO accept 30 cents
for all coal taken out, instead OF the old
scale of so cents for all that passes over
the screen. The operators claim there IS
little difference in the two rates. but the
miners declare they cannot live at the
reduced rate and will strike. The oper-
ators say the men must take the reduced
wages or be locked out.
The business is so badly den1oralized
by the price-cutters that all effort TO
conduct it at living prices has been given
up.
