The Brownies have returned from Fulton
Springs and are home again to the misery
of shoes and stockings, school hours and
clean face and hands. There are three of
them, and If the little girl brownie had
worn blue overalls like the two boy brown
les, you couldn't have told them apart, for
with hair shingled like theirs, bare feet and
legs, bareheaded and sunburnt,. she fol-
lowed them up the ladder on the housetops
to sun like lizards on the roof, and to de-
scend by the trees that shaded the front
porch. Down by the creek they wandered,
slipping off the rocks into the water. But
Couldn't help it" did not save them from
spankings when they reached home drip
ping wet. They tramped through the
woods gathering green acorns and unripe
persimmons and saw big snakes, so they
said. With hands full of ferns and love-
vines hurrying home to dinner so hungry
for fried chicken and buttered biscuit.
Such happy summers come only to child
hoods life. Miss Brownie brought her two
kittens, Buttercups, the yellow one, and
Daisy, the grey one, as far as Mary Lee
mines, and there her cruel mamma made
her drop them out of the buggy to the
mercy of. the miners families. The little
spotted pug was put in the wagon and the
two dogs, Harry and Miss Dimple, followed
for a mile or two until Miss Dimple was
led astray and deserted her offspring. SO
Harry had to be step-father to the little
pup until its mother was recovered and
brought back to the city home, where the
Brownies are now too busy to notice them.

A BIG SHOE STRIKE
Six Hundred People Thrown Out Of
Employment At Detroit Shoe
Factory.
MACHINES CAUSE TROUBLE
The Factory Owners Refuse to Use Union
Label and Threaten to Employ Non
Union Men If Trouble Is
Prolonged,

Detroit, Mich, June pa complete
Pingree & Smiths big shoe factory, en-
ploying upward of 600 people. The only
work in progress is that necessary to
clean up machines. The trouble was
forced by strike this noon of the en-
ployes of the turning and the welt de-
partments. Three weeks ago the fac
tory started new machines in the shoe
turning department, which are operated
partly by boys in place Of men. The
shoemakers' union declared unless high
er wages were paid in that department
upwards of 100 men employed in the
turning and the welt departments
should quit to-day. The company an
nounced that If these men went out the
entire factory would be shut down. The
employees also complain that while the
Pingree company and it's employees hith-
erto have fixed the scale of wages for
the year in May, this was not done this
year. Last pay day the company noti-
fled all employees that it discontinued
the use of the union stamp. The COM
pany gave out signed statement this
afternoon to the effect that it's agree
ment with employees can not apply to
work undertaken by new methods
which are yet in an experimental stage.
1t states that the benefits of the union
stamp were found to be not commensu-
rate with it's inconvenience, but that
the company expects to treat with its
employees as formerly. Frank c. Pin
gree this afternoon said a reasonable
time will be allowed the strikers for
consideration, but rather than suffer a
long shutdown the firm would employ
non-unon men to fill the strikers
places.
