DanviIIe, Ill, Miners Expect Assist
ance from Railroad Men.

DunNIIIt, III, ENDeCT AssibT-
ance from Railroad Men.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DANVILLE, Ind, July At is stated
on reliable authority that the action OF the
miners at Saturdays meeting here means
only a postponement Of a general strike,
which will take place on or about Sept. !.
1t Is expected that the miners at that time
will receive substantial support from other
labor organizations, especially the railroad
men, who are also expected 10 go out at the
same time. 1t is well-recOgnzed fact in
Danville that the miners do not receive half
wages with the present scale rates and
that it will be a great benefit to this COM
munity if they can obtain the Columbus
cents.

lenge the u. S. House of representa-
tives to an international game oil
chess. Now you are talking. Now
we may look for wonderful reforms
in government. When congressman
get droperly down to business and
can beat the bloody Englishmen at
chess, then will national pride be
glutted to the limit. 1t is time our
law makers should get out of the
humdrum fashion of passing tariff
schedules and talking about free
coinage. Our national honor must
be defended OF the law makers do
not earn their salt. Let them revise
their course. Let them cease their
jangling over little matters of f.
nance and economics. Let them
chop on dry appropriations and stu
pid pension bills. Get down to busi-
ness and let the nation sustain her
glorious a~ristocracy and skin the
blooming Henglish. 1t can be done.

The Doctrine of Chances.

Lord Kames used to relate a story of
a man who claimed the honor of his ac-
qu%aintance on rather singular grounds.
His lordship, when one of the justiciary
judges, returning from the north circuit
to Perth, happened n night to sleep at
Dunkeld. The next morning, walking
toward the ferry, but experimenting he
had missed his way, he asked a man
whom he met to conduct him. The other
answered with much cordiality: "That I
will do, with all my heart, my lord. Does
not your lordship remember me? Ny
names John -. Ihave had the honor
to be before your lordship for stealing
sheep!' "Oh, John, I remember you
well. And how is your wife? She had the
honor to be before me, too, for receiv-
ing them, knowing them to be stolen. :"
cat your lordship's service. We were
very lucky. We got off for want Of evil
dence, and I am still going on in the
butcher trade" "Then," replied his
lordship, I'VE may have the honor of
meeting again. "-"Mark Lemons Jest

A tenderfoot farmer in Arizona en-
gagged a neighbor to pillow a field that
had been in alfalfa. On being engaged,
the neighbor set his price at $40. "You
see," he explained, ""these alfalfa roots
are terrible to pillow. 1t takes six horses
to pull through the roots, two men to
hold the pillow and a boy to drive. It's
worth at least $50, but you being a
neighbor, I'll do it for $40" The n
tive was engaged, and later the tender
foot related to another neighbor that he
had struck a bargain in getting his plow-
ing done. why" was tie reply, "that
job is not worth So" "But it takes
six horses" protested the tenderfoot.

FLOOD AND

1t is a we'll known saying that
''trouble never come singly." In
fact it has become grounded in our
every day philosophy until every
body consistently believes it. OF
curse the maxim is founded upon
superstition which we say fees be-
fore the face of enlightenment. But
while n by one the dogmas of
superstition are supplanted by
principles of a higher intelligence,
this one maxim, "trouble never come
singly," remains a part of our civil
ization, a theorem based upon facts
which are indisputable.
Today the floods nf the Mississippi,
enough in themselves to drive des-
peration into a hundred thousand
hearts are supplemented in their
work of hellishness by the cyclone,
which is entirely out of season at
this time. He is three months ahead
of his time, but Notwithstanding his
premature birth he is strong and
well and a sweep water soaked
houses off their foundation with as
little ceremony as if he were an au-
tumnal visitor of the old reliable var
iety.
Among the foremost problems Of
science today is the cause of cyclones
at this a of the year. That
cyclones may come in the summer
and autum is easily answered. But
their occurrence in the spring time
is phenomenal, and is answered only
by the long established principle
that troubles never come singly, anc
the cyclone was needed to wider
the scene of desolation in the Missis.

That Four shillin.

Many years ago Hank Miller was
the omnibus king of New York. That
was before street cars were known. And
Hanks hoses were going ON all the
principal lines. He was a good natured
man, quiet and full of fun. The drivers
of the buses were cashiers, too-receiv-
ed the passengers money, made change,
and at night handed over the days re-
ceipts. One evening Hank was inspect
ing the stalls of one of the stables when
Johnny Derrick, a well known driver,
came in and without noticing Hank
emptied his pockets in the next stall
and commenced to make up his account.
"That's a shillin for Hank and 4 for
mel" said he, laying them in two differ
emit piles. There's 4 shillin for Hank
and A for meI' And thus he continued
until the money was divided into two
different piles, with an odd half dollar
in Johnny's hand.
How is this?'' said Johnny. "Who
does this belong tor Well, Well toss up;
heads for me and tails for Hank" And
up he tipped it.
"Tailsl" he exclaimed. "Ah, but
that wasn't fair. Well try it again"
And up it went once more.
"Headsl l thought it was miner' And
with a satisfied air he pocketed his
share and started for the office to make
his returns. Hank took a short cut, and
when Johnny entered he was behind the
counter, ready to receive the money.
Good evening" said Johnny, touch
ing his hat to Hank, as he laid the mon
ey ON the counter.
"That's all right, Johnny" said
Hank quietly. "We don't need your
services any more"
"Eh, how's that? What's the matter,
Mr.. Miller?" exclaimed the astonished
John.
"Well, I don't think you treated me
exactly fair" Hank dryly replied.
