JEEREO THE FLAG.

And Six Foreign Miners Were Shot Down.
Altoona, Pa, June 2.-Word
reached the city last night OF a riot
which occurred at Scalp Lovel, a
little mining town in Cambria county,
between foreign and American la
borers. The provocation was an
insult to the flag by some Huns. So
far as can be learned six Huns were
shot, but none fatally A dozen or
more Americans and Huns were in
iur.d by s.oues.
The insult was offered during a
flag raising in that town. A group
Of about . Huas, Italians and Poles
stood on the outskirts Of the crowd
and isered at the flag as it was rails.
ed on the staff 4 dozen Americans,
angered by the outbreak, charged
the foreigners with sticks and stones
and a battle resulted.
The citizens were outnumbered
and gradually driven back through
the town, followed BY the frenzied
foreigners.
The cause Of the 1iot came to sew
eral veterans. They procured rifles
and revolvers and charged the for
eigners from the rear. They sent
several volleys into the rioters and
several were seen to fall.
The Americans then posted no
tees ordering all foreigners to leave
the town within twenty-four hours
or suffer the consequence.

serious business Of sending men to

not like to have their names made
public have been enguged most in

 You may be sure Ambrose lost no time in getting back to the big house. He was greeted at the kitchen door by Aunt Caledonia, the cook. 'Ye seekin' Miss Dora? Wall, doan' reckon ye kin see 'er. Miss Dora, is ye in de dark room?"
 A voice came back: "Wait minute, Callie; don't let anybody in."

 Caledonia scowled. Looks like dis we're hull settlement low t git Miss Dora draw dar picters fur nuthin'," she remarked sarcastically.
 'I ain't gwine have Pearl drawed fur nothing" said Ambrose, trying to pro- pitiate. 'I gwine fotch Ter big pail scaly- bark hick'ry nuts. Will I fotch ye one tew?"
 Do hush, the critter.' shouted the unappeased Caledonia, in her deepest notes of scorn. "Scaly-bark hick'ry nuts Boy, we all is wallerin' in scaly- bark hick'ry nuts a'ready!"
 Poor Ambrose was dumb.
 "Trackin' up my clean f1o' wid you hick'ry nutsi"-the stream of Caledo- nia's wrath flowed on with swelling turbulence-"looks like de hull settle ment ben comin' see Miss Dora dis mawnin', an mud shoe-deep, too!

 Ambrose slunk away abashed, all his visions of Christmas glories like broken soap bubbles.
 Nevertheless, he returned to the set tlement with Pearl the day before Christmas. His father had been kind to him in the interval; affectionate as usual to Pearl, and more than usually industrious. Ambrose admired his mighty strokes with the aX. He fol- lowed him about like dog seeking to help him.
 "Td really like to give Ambrose a right nice Christmas gift" thought Medlark "Fact is, in justice t the children, I'd orter have that money. I'll save some o't out fur them."
 Ambrose longed day and night for his picture, and at last, the day before Christmas, he determined to make one more appeal to Miss Carroll.
