tered: ''Wen, God he good deal like
Uncle Sam. Injun never see him.
Truth.
A drill sergeant was unpopular among
his men. They found him too particu-
lar. One day he had on hand a party
of recruits whom he was putting
through the funeral exercise. Opening
the ranks so as to admit the passage
of the supposed funeral cortege among
them, the instructor, by way of practi-
cal explanation, walked slowly down the
lane formed by the two ranks, saying,
as he did so: ''Now, I'm the corpse.
Pay attention. Having reached the end
of the line he turned, regarded the men
with a serutinizing eye for a minute, and
then remarked: your 'ands is right,
and your 'eads is right, but you 'aven't

srRIKE PARTIALLY OVER.
Men at One Mine Return to Work
but Those at Another Are
Still Out.

Pittsburg, Dec. 2O.-The trouble be-
tween the Western Coal and Mining
company and the men was ended today
by the company acceding to the demands
of the men, and the miners have return
ed to work. The miners at Mount Car
mel Coal company's shaft No. 5, Chi
copee, refused to go to work this morn
ing because of the unsatisfactory work
ing of the screens. Operators at other
mines are expecting trouble of some
kind to some up every day and if they
get through the busy season without it
they think it will be a miracle. The
men are becoming disconnected in many
places and the operators stand willing
to accede to any demand within reason.
