Mr.. Cable in speaking of the strike
with an ARGUS representative today
said. while there WAS no promise OF .
settlement, 1t would not be- long be-
fore the mines would be running. He
said the company had been waiting
patiently in the hope that the men
would reach conclusion to return
to work and would not wait much
longer, but would soon begin opera
tions, ii it was necessary 80 employ
a new force of workmsn. Mr.. Ca
BILE claims :he miners misrepre-
sented the facts in q recent pub
lished statement, in which they snid
it cost 80 per cent of their earnings
to maintain their tools and buy ma.
terial with which to work. He said
1t did not cost over IA per cent.
The miners had no grievance when
they walked out Q few months ago,
Mr.. Cable stated, but struck in SYM
pathy with their fellow coal diggers
throughout the country. Now they
want their wages raised.

WORK FOR CoNvICTs.
They should he Employed I'm the Con-
structiOn of Roads.


The abnormal floods along the Missis-
sippi river have provoked much discus
sion of ways and means for preventing
their future recurrence or for restrain
ing the swollen stream within safe linn
its. Some urge stronger and higher
system of levees; others the opening of
new, or reopening of old, channels,
through which the river may be partly
or wholly diverted from it's present
course; and others yet other projects,
all, of course, involving the doing OF
much work and the spending of much
money. The further suggestion is made,
as applicable for the execution of any
OF these schemes, that the manual labor
required on the vast job shall be done by
the able-bodied inmates of the prisons
OF the various interested states. This
suggestion is an eminently practical
one, and 1t leads TO the further sugges-
ton that just such jobs afford the best
possible field for the employment of
convict labor.
Country and suburban roads. for ex-
ample. which in all parts of the
union are in need of improvement. The
spring season is the best of all times
for BODYBUILDING. 1t is the very time
when farmers and villagers are most
busy with other matters and can least
well devote attention to the roads. And
1t is the time when the housed-up pris-
oners are most in need of wholesome oc-
cupation in the open air. There are
three elements of the problem which
unerringly point to its right solution.

with the least possible disturbance of
other industries and at the lowest cost
to the proprietor and to the greatest
benefit to the workmen. and, indeed, to
all concerned-if that be business wis
dom. the inmates of our state prisons
should be set at road-making forthwith
In that way they will get the exercise
they need, the public will get the much
needed good roads, and there will be no
competition between convict and free
labor. How much the convicts need
such work is demonstrated in the Kings
county penitentiary. where the inmates
are reported to be in danger of going
mad, some of them actually doing so,
through enforced idleness. How much
improved roads are needed almost any
suburban or rural village will testify

Some Facts Witch Farmers should
Always hear In Mind.
Probably few farmers have any idea
OF the assistance which they receive
from friends who ask no reward, except
now and then little fruit, or a few
seeds OF grain. A recent number of the
National Stockman gives mass of tes-
timony as TO the noble work done by
the birds in the destruction of grass
hoppers and other insects. The expert
ments were made by Prof. Aughey, of
the University of Nebrask. Tabulated
results show conclusively that birds of
all kinds were doing their best to re-
duce the number of locusts. The birds
of the thrush family were examined
first. The stomachs of six robins con-
tanned the remains of 265 locusts; three
wood thrushes had 6S locusts; one her
NIT thrush contained 10 locusts; two
olive backed thrushes had gathered in
IS locusts; two Wilson's thrushes abb
sorbed 70 of the pests, while five cat
birds had "called" 152 of the insects.
Three blue birds yielded GIT of the

kinglet showed up 30 as the result of

How to Turn n Promising Calf Into n
Profitable Cow.

HOW 10 TURN n PrOmfsfnG Calf Into n
Profitable Cow.
When calves are intended to be
grown for cows 1t is great mistake to
feed them SO heavily rs to increase the
tendency to fatten. Often this can be
seen at birth in the thick, bull-like
neck and heavy head. In such case it
is best to fatten and sell to the butcher,
no matter what stock may be its ances-
try. But frequently also the calf which
seems to be all right for good mixer
is fed so heavily and on such fattening
food that its tendency for life to pro-
duce fat and beef rather than milk and
butter is fully established. To grow a
good COW the calf should not be stunted,
says American Cultivator. That will
impair digestion, which is just as i'm
portant for the COW as it is for beef
animal. Calves intended to be kept for
cows should have much succulent food,
with enough of the kind of nutrition re-
quired to make large growth. Then 1t
will be well developed and come early
into heat. 1t is always advisable to
breed as early as possible. Then when
the tendency to milk production has
been fully established, good feeding
with the best food will turn the product
of the feed into the milk pail, where il
will be most for the farmers profit to

A Brush With ApacheS.
BY p. WILBUR SHOOP.
THE long string of pack mules
Il ~

THE long string of pack mules
wound down through the dark
narrow rayine of the Hasayampae river
canyon, and crossing the dry bed OF
the stream disappeared behind a ledge
OF rocks jutting out from the over
hanging cliff. 1t was lonely spot.
Ten miles below a quartz mill had been
erected, and five miles up the river was
sheep ranch. But here no sign of life
appeared. save the sinuous line of
mules vending their way across q
stretch of alkuli plain to the foothills
just beyond The alkali dust, dry as
finder, crushed under the feet of the
animals and was waited away in little
Tuffs at each successive step.
The straps fastening the load to the
back of one of the animals became
Ioosened, and i stopped 20 fix them.
The other mules filed past and left me
about a quarter of n mile behind. AS l

the mule occasionally looking back at

plainly on its face, heard n sound as of
some one slipping over the rocks above.
The mule looked w, shifted the air,
gave n sudden lurch, wrenching the
straps from my hands, and dashed
nadly off toward the animals in the
lead, probably now n mile ahead, and
already on the summit of the nearest
foothill. The tin buckets, provisions,
etc, that formed the contents of its
load, were strewn over the ground quite
promiscuously.
The other animals in the train, who
previously had beer walking along in
sleepy, mechanical way, and only
twitching their ears and swinging their
tails to vary the monotony, seemed to
be infected with the terror of the ami
NAL that had broken away from me,
and joined it in q mad disorder. 1
stepped back under the overhanging
mails, wondering as to the cause of their
sudden fright. Just then sharp re-
port rang out. 1 felt singing SEN

a distinct ping" l clapped my hand
to my ear; it was bleeding. Then the
reason for the mad fear Of the mules
came to me. A mule that has been used
where Indians are around soon learns
TO tell by intuition, it seems, whenever
one is near and, as they have an Unborn
antipathy toward them, never lose any
time in getting out of the reach of their
rifles. This one had fred at me
through crevice in the rocks, but had
done no damage save to clip of the
tip Of my ear.
We were not then expecting an out
break. a few months before Gen. Cook
had gathered In the hostile Apaches

thought he had flushed me, and so,

rocks and began climbing down. This

There are several cogent reasons why the
medical profession recommend and the
public prefer Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
above the ordinary cathartics. 1t does not
drench and weaken the bowels, but assists
rather than foEees nature to act; it is
botanic and safe; its action is never pre-
