The dispatches are frequently noting
these days the voluntary increases OF
wages and reservations OF cuts made
during the hard times. The latest in
stance is an Increase OF ten per cent in
the wages OF several thousand of the en-
pioyes of Jones G LaughlIn at Pitts
burgh. This was a voluntary restora-
ton of cut made last year, when the
iron and steel business was depressed.
The Pittsburgh Times, noting the fact,
recalls that there were those In that
community who little more than year
ago were predicting that II the Republic
can party succeeded ia the then pending
national election the lot of workingmen
OF Pittsburgh would be harder than II
was at that time. This increase Of
wages at one of the city's greatest manu-
featuring establishments" says our con-
temporary, "ln connection with many
other similar instances, affords most
effective demonstration OF the fallacy OF
these predictions"
Similar demonstrations have been wit
messed In other manufacturing districts
throughout the country, and gradually
the wage workers are rising above the
condition they were in previous to the
revival of business, Better prices. when
they come, bring with them better condl-
tons, to the empioye as we'll as employer.
The Times further points out that at Is
significant fact not to be lost sight Of
that the above noted increase of wages
is largely made possible by the great
amount of foreign orders received by the
firm making 1t, thus showing that the
national policy now in vogue eplarges
our trade abroad and increases the COM
pensatlon Of the workers at home"
The Times might well have added that
this extension of our foreign trade also
increases employment for our home
workers, providing work for larger
number of American wage earners, the
result being that the ranks of the idlers
have been materially reduced. One
ounce of such facts Is worth ton Of
theories and pessimistic calamity walls.

with the settlement Of the short license

telllgencer elsewhere, is ended situation
which for a time looked as II 1t would be
long drawn and fought out finally in the
supreme court. The state will get the
revenues 1t had been deprived Of and
hereafter the law requiring the full
license to be paid will be observed.
The saloon keepers claimed as their
reason for the failure to take out the full
license that heretofore others had been
doing business with the short license,
and II It was to be permitted In some
cases II was only fair that It should be
permitted in all. They tested the mat
ter, and the result Is an assurance that
all will hereafter be placed on the same
footing, without discrimination. There
will be no short license dealers in the
city hereafter and the revenues OF the
state will be paid.
In the meantime the state adminlstra-
ton announces that throughout the
state. wherever there 10 similar state
OF affairs to that which existed In Ohio
county, action will be taken looking to
complete reform, and the revenues due
the state from the licenses will be coll

They Who Contribute Nothing to tho
Good OF Others.
A young millionaire drove one day his
four-in-hand from New York to tho
country town which had been his home
when he was a boy. before his father
had piled up the money the young man
was now reclSlessIy spending. He had
three or four friends with him AMI
plenty of champagne. No time was
spent in visiting the old homestead Or
his mothers grave. He and his conf
panions took possession of the inn. and
drank and sang and howled far into
the night.
The next morning the young man
went TO the old doctor. with whom he
was acquainted, for cure for his sick
headache. AS they stood at the Doctors
gate some roguish boys came up. and
laug hingly begged for dime. a man
with millions of money at his com
mand did not often fall in their way.
BE of with you!" said the young
spendthrift. Then taking the matter
seriously, he said: There's no excuse
for begging of any sort. There's plenty
OF work for all. If a man won't work,
neither should he eat That's good doc
thine, CHI, doctor?"
"Very good" said the doctor, look
ing at him though fully.
THE begging habit is, I'm sure. in
oreasing in this country" pursued the
young man. "Paupers abroad are like
vermin feeding on live body. Now
they are becoming more numerous
here. My father had no patience with
beggars. Let them earn the right to
live he used 10 say. i earn il. pay
my toll OF work 10 the world
Every good" said the doctor. But a
man need not earn money TO prove his
right TO live. The man who makes a
tree grow ON waste ground, or who finds
out new fact in science. or who
writes book, or sings a song, or helps
cause which betters the world pays his
toll to it,"
That's sol" said his listening pa
tlent, winking his blcared eyes and look
ing sober.
"But a man." said the doctor, look
ing carefully across the field, ''whose
pockets bulge with money which he
never earned. who lives TO amuse hini-
self, who helps no country, nor cause,
nor man, what toll does he pay? How
does he differ from pauper?"
IL don't understand YOU" said the
young millionaire, growing red. That's
a queer ideal"
1T is an idea which wish Americans
who are toiling to leave wealth to their
sons would consider" said the doctor,
curtly. Companion.

COYOTES ARE CLEVER.
How One of Them Drew u Hunting Dog
Into an Ambush.

No cutter animal is found in the west
than the coyote. The coyote is to the
plainsman what fox is to an eastern
farmer, only the coyote is more in evil
dence. Forest and Stream tells about a
dog that had its principal sport chasing
and otherwise worrying coyotes, and
was led into ambush by one coyote and
then set upon by several other
of the prairie wolves and almost done TO
death.
about nine o'clock one night" the pa
per says, "one of the coyotes came to the
kitchen door and howled aggravatingly
at the dog, which, thereupon set after
the coyote full tilt. The coyote He'd
around the house, down TO the corral
and around the blacksmith shanty, the
dog yelping after Behind the shanty
were other coyotes, six or sevenof them,
and all of them made for the dog in a
way that made it feel lonely. The
ranchman heard the fight and the dogs
bowls of pain; and grasping n rifle
started that way on run, yelling as
he went. The coyotes each took fare
well nip and fed, leaving a sore dog be-
hind. Since then the dog has not been
so much interested as on former occa-
sions in coyotes. II follows single
coyotes vigorously, but the appearance
of another sends IL back as fast as it
can rum"
The coyote likes badger flesh very
much, but one coyote is not equal 10 a
badger in n fight; consequently The
coyote, when IL meets a badger has to
resort 10 stratagem till aid arrives. The
manner in which IL does this, according
TO the sportsman's paper,is interesting.
"A few weeks ago." the writer says,
las | was riding along ] saw a coyote and
n badger. The coyote seemed to be play
ing with the badger. lie would prance
around it, then run Off a little way, the
badger following, evidently very angry.
When the badger saw me il ran into its
hole. while the coyote went off 40 or 80
yards and lay down, evidently knowing
/ had no gun with me. The coyotes
device was evidently to tease, and so
keep the badger interested till another
coyote happened along, when the
badger would have been killed."

"Oh, not" cried Bertholde, with
knocking laugh. II shall have nothing
OF the sort. You cannot give me what
you do not possess. 1 am in search of
happiness. of which you have not
particle. So how can you give me any?"
Howl" exclaimed the king. "Am
not happy on so elevated throne?"
yes, you are. If the happiness of
man consists in the height of his seat"
Then Alboin referred 10 his kingly
power and dignity, and the dwarf re-
torted with another hooking laugh; and
when the king called attention TO the
robles and courtiers about him, Ber-
tholde with a sneer remarked: "Oh, yes,
they cluster round your throne; so do
hungry nnts round n crab-apple. and
with the same purpose-to deyour IT,"
'Well said" spake The king, keeping
his temper; "but all this does not pre-
vent me from shining among them, as
the sun among the stars"
True, but tell me, shining Sun, how
many eclipses you are obliged TO suffer
in year? Foi the continual flattering
Of these men must now and then darlSen

"For this reason you would not be =

fingers began to play upon his sword in
q threatening manner.

piled the dwarf. Besides, have not

This was little too much. The
king lost his patience, and commanded

whipped out OF court.
