fairly. / can't see the need of union
intervention in the Occur d'Alene. Do
you know what the miners grievances
are?"
.I'n be domned if 1 do" Mike re-
piled, without hesitation. 1--WE was do
in well. Every man was gettin' his
three dollars, or his three and half, or
lis four dollars q day, accordin' to what
he could arm, and we knew no betther
than be firms with the men that ped
us our wages. That's how il was whin
first I come. Twas the age av inno-
cence with US; the lion an the lamb
was lynn down together, and there
wasn't man av us suspicioned what a
set of robbers and iron-heeled oppres-
sors- thin mine-owners was till the
brotherhood in Butte cast their eye on
us in the par'lous shtate we was in.
LUX at thin sons av toll over there
says they, in darkest Idyho, sellin'
themselves for what wages the mo-
nop'lists chooses to fling them, and no;
a dollar comm into the union! Well
attind to that they says. And they
put up a cpnvarsion fund for to carry
the goshpel into Idyho; yes, and good
thing they med av it, too. They set
up the union in our midst, and they
med themselves the priests, and gev out
the law, and gethered the offrin's.
They cursed us this wan, and they
cursed us that wan, and most partic'ler
taey cursed him that wouldn't put up
his money and come into the tint av

in tone of authority.
Lads. did ye hear him chewin' the

position You're solid there, me chap
pie-equizzical you'll find it. There's
comm. snowslide in these mountains,

There were dissenting voices to this

whats he got to do with snow
slides?" asked one.
"You can't make evidence out of
such rot as he was talkin'," said an
other-"a young fellah turnin' his

Evidence, is it? Here's me evidence

calls himself Jack Darcie; it may be
his name, or it may be only wan av

our talk, but he's too fancy for miner.
Malony's wildly does his washin', and
he chucks her dollar as aisy as two

wild monogram. and there's more
letters in it than j. D. He writes big,
thick letters, and posts them himself;
he walks to Wallace to post 'em wild his
own hand. He's workin' some game
on the quiet. He's spy, bet yez;
he's one of Pinkerton's men; he's a
bloody monop'list sneakin' in the scabs
on us; else he's a - repourter dom
US up with lies in the papers. What
ever he's here for, he'll have to quit it.
Well give him the word to pack his

"He won't take no invite off'n you,

"He will take it, then" said the voice
addressed as Dan. Hell take it polite,
at days outsthandin' notice, or he'll

BE HAPPY AS you Can.

This life Ii not all sunshine,
Nor yet Is 1t all showers,
But storms and Gains alternate,
As thorns among the flowers:
And while we seek the roses,
The thorns full oft we scan,
Still let US. though they wound US.
Be happy as we can.
This life has heavy crosses
AS well as joys to share,
And griefs and disappointments
Which you and I must bear;
Yet, II misfortune's lava
Entombs hopes dearest plan,
Let US. with what is left US, q
Be happy as we can.
The sum Of our enjoyment
Is made Of little things.
las oft the broadcast rivers
Are formed from smallest springs;
BY treasuring small waters,
The rivers reach their span;
So we increase our pleasures,
Enjoying what we can.
There may be burning deserts
Through which our feet must go.
But there are green GASES
Where pleasant palm trees grow:
And II we may not follow
The path our hearts would plan,
Let us make all around US
AS happy as we can.

FIRST MAHOGANY BUREAU.
One Of the Most Beautiful OF WO0dS
Had . Hard Fight
fA Favor.

Many people suppose that the use
of mahogany for the manufacture OF
furniture is very ancient. AS mat
ter of fact, the first record we have
of this rare wood is in 1895, when Sir
Walter Raleigh repaired one of his
ships with it in the port of Trinidad.
The next we hear of mahogany is
many years later, when an Englishman
who was sailing from one OF the West
Indies used quite lot of what APP
peared to him rough lumber~for bal
last, and when he arrived in England
and found his brother building house
he gave this apparently ill-featured
timber to him for his house. When
his brother turned the lumber over
to his carpenters, they refused to use
it, because it was SO hard that it spoiled
their tools; so its use for building that
house was abandoned.
His wife, however, short time after
gave some of this wood to her cabinet
maker in order to have him make for
her a candle box. He, too, complained
of the hardness of the wood and its
effect upon his tools. The candle box
was finished at last, however, and it
was SO ndHuSOute, having TAKEN Ou SUCH
a beautiful polish, that this box be-
came quite curiosity among the So
ciety people of that day; so much SO
that the lady's husband had the same
eabinetmaker make him bureau of
the same wood. The bureau was so
unusually beautiful that the cabinet
maker went regularly into the bust
ness of manufacturing bureaus, and
made not only reputation, but
large fortune out of the business
