out cessation. And after it was all over
ana he had counted up the profits, he
found that he was about So, 600 ricser

cry mad proved a gold mine. But the vein
was exhausted in one season and similar
conditions have never come again

Der when bread was so high that to poor
people 1t was luxury rather than a ne
cessity There were times then when the
public murmured against the small size
or the loaves just as il is inclined to re-
bel at times now. Those were also days
when the public stin believed it right to
regulate private business~to the extent of
saying how much bread a baker should
give for certain sum of money and fore
ing him to limit his profits by fear Of
nnes. And so it came about
that the bakers struck and the novel
sight was seen of an industry closing
down because the law tried to sell so
much of its product for so much money.
Never before and never since has just
such state of affairs been seen.
The quantity of dough that was to go
into each and every loaf was laid down
for the bakers. They insisted that to do
as was asked of them meant to operate
their business at loss. So they refused
and defied the authorities. A page or two
of the names of bakers soon adorned the
information docket of Police Court But
the bakers were not to be inundated
Rather than make and sell bread at loss
they would not make bread at ALL So the
word went forth, and one morning the
town awakened to find no breakfast rolls
or fresh bread at the doors. The fires
had been drawn from the ovens, the shut
ters put up to the shop windows, and
the bakers had gone on a strike against
the public and its demands.
There was new grievance on the part
of the public, now. The convenience of
the bakeshop had not before been fully
appreciated. Some bread came over from
Charleston, but when could any other
town, even Charleston, meet the demand
for fresh rolls at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing one hundred miles away
Something had to be done to bring the
bakers to their senses. So some public
spirited gentlemen went down into their
pockets and started bake shop. At Lib
erty and Habersham streets two ovens

named Claghorn, who had been a pastry
cook, in charge. But Claghorn had hard

came to an end. The conclusion had been
reached that the bakers could not be CO.
creed into running their business either at
loss or at just such profit as the city
officers might see fit to permit. The
kneading troughs were once more filed
with nutritive dough, the ovens ran up
to red heat, and the load was lifted from
the heart of the houskeeper. Breakfast
rolls once more adorned the tables ana
peace and harmony settled down where
there had been all the unpleasantness of a
lockout.

HOW CoCOANUTs ARE BOUGHT.
Loaded Loose and Put In Sacks on
the Wharf.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Cocoanuts are loaded in the hold of a
vessel in bulk. Upon their discharge here
they are sacked. for greater convenience
In handling and shipment. This work,
which involves sorting the nuts as to size
and separating the sound from the I'M
sound. is done on the wharf alongbde the
vessel.
When the matches have been taken off
men get into the vessels hold with bushei
baskets, which they fill with cocoanuts,
These baskets of nut are handed up
over the hatch coaming and passed along
across the deck and over the rail and
onto the wharf where they are set up
on a box of convenient hight, beside
which stand the counters-sometimes two,
but ofterer three all experts at sorting
and counting cocoanuts. The three men
stand side by side on the side Of the box
toward the vessel, and on the other side
stands a man holding a sack with mouth
open, into which the nuts are thrown as
they are counted.
Back of the counters, against the string
niece of the wharf, are baskets into which
the culls are thrown these include the
smaller nuts, cracked nuts and sprouts,
which are nuts that have begun to sprout.
Cocoanuts are put up in sacks containing
smaller nuts thrown aside in the sorting
and counting are from time to, time taken
away by other men and sacked. These are
sound nuts but they bring a lower price
on account of their size. The cracked nuts
and the sprouts would rot soon If they
were not used and these are kept apart
and sold cheap forNquick consumption.
The counters do nothing but sort and
count: they never touch a basket. When
a basket has been empued another man
pulls it off the box and sets full basket
IN its place. There is always at least one
basket Of nuts on the box; there are usu-
ally more than one, SO that the sorting
and counting go on constantly. Each
counter picks up two nuts at once, one in
each hand, and all three counters toss
nuts into the same bag, but there Is never
aay confusion in the count. Two nuts are
counted one, for convenience in keeping
tally. and when the three men have count
ed up fifty, the man holding the bag, now
containing 100 nuts, drags it away and
another man takes his place with an
empty bag, and the counters begin again,
one. TWO. three, and up to fifty again.
Picking up every time two nuts, the
counter taps them gently together TO sec

Rare oanine InteIIigence.
From the st. Louis Republic.

A striking instance of the intelligence Of
a dog was demonstrated Sunday night in
Maplewood, at the residence of Col. w. s.
Moore. local agent of the Miami Powder
Company. The incident has set all Maple
wood to talking.
A ST. Bernard paved on the door of Mr..
Moore's residence and whined and growled
in such a strange manner that the people
In the house concluded to investigate They
hal observed that his face betokened
look Of distress rather than fierceness Col.
Moore and others started out 10 follow the
dog.
AS soon as the st. Bernard perceived
that he was being at least partially I'M
derstood his whole attitude changed and
he frsSed about in a Joyful manner. He
watched the colonel and his party care
fully to see that they were following him,
and led the way to a neighboring house
about half a mile distant. When this
place was reached his motives were az
once understood. There, wedged tight be-
tween the bars Of a porch railing was a
small pug dog, that. in his struggle to Sc
cure his liberty, had twisted himself in
such a position that he was rapidly chok-
ing TO death.
The ST. Bernard stood by and watched
with interest the efforts of the party to
extricate the unfortunate pug from his
perlous position. This was only accom-
pNshed by breaking the bars Of the railing.
As soon as the pug was freed the ST. Ber-
nard manifested his appreciation by jump
ing on the shoulders Of Col Moore ana
trotted compacently from the place and
was soon lost to view
No one in the vicinity had ever seen tho
ST. Bernard before but all expressed adj
miratlon for the rare canine intelligence
that he displayed.

SINCE SAMPSON SAILED.
". VI. MURDOCK. Editor.

The people are growing uneasy about
Sampson and about the whereabouts
of that Cape Verde fleet 1t is two
weeks ago tomorrow since the Spanish
ships sailed and a week since Samp-
son weighed anchor. The Spanish feet
should have turned up in West Indian
waters ere this, if it was not intercept
ed by Sampson If intercepted by
Sampson, he should have been heard
from. If the Spanish feet, in fact,
steered away from the Philippines, by
the way Of the Cape of Good Hope, for
the purpose Of relieving Manila, and
Sampson had orders to follow, he is
DAYS behind the Dons, and can only
overtake them by burning coal most
lavishly. If. indeed; Spain has gone to
the relief Of Manila, our only hope is
in Dewey, who should be notified in
time to fortify Corregidor, man the
batteries of Cavite and prepare his
squadron for all that is in it OF course
it is possible to get Dewey men and
munitions, but impossible to get him
any war ships save through Sampson.
The situation doesn't seem satisfac-
tory. But it didn't when we couldn't
hear from Dewey. Still, and yet, be-
fore, or by the time this is ready to
read the Spanish fleet may be located
and Sampson heard from. In the mean
time it looks somewhat shaky.
