Dreyfus met the carriage bearing his chill

smothered them with kisses. His emotion
was so great that he was unable to speak for
some time. The excitement over the meeting
made Dreyfuss physical condition somewhat

CHIEF PHILPOT'S MOVE
The Lucille Rowland Stranded Owing to RoustabOuts Refusing to
 Work.

The steamer Lucille Rowland sr- rived from Memph' $ Friday night. She had about four roustabouts when irty Is usually employed.
 The boat officials could not get negro coustaoouts, as they fatty r5. fused to work. "It's too hot, says one. We can live without work, says another. II can beat all sich, . exclaimed another, and as a result the boat was delayed several hours.
 Finally d smooth idea was origi hated by Mr G. E Philpot, the Ar kansas River Packet Company's agent here. He went to his brother, Chief of Police c. M. Philpot and told him of the trouble. Chief Phil. pot generally knows where to find loafers. and going 10 that certain place he fornd a large number of them. Some were sleeping while others were dancing, singing and lounging about. He arrested 8 number, charging them with va grancy, after learning that they had no visible means of support. i've can't find work" was the excuse they began to give. That was all Chief Philpot wanted them to say. He took them to the boat, got them positions as roustabouts, each re- ce;ving $1 per day. The Rowland left immediately for Memphis with a quorum ef roust tabouts.
 rbrJ will probably desert the boa, When she reaches Memphis but the trick was a smooth one, and 1t proves that the only time the "bums" of this city vii. work is when they are driven to it.
 Pine Bluff cake-w walk clrcles are minus many of their high steppers today as a result of the Nowland's $ visit but we predict success for them in the Tennessee City.

ANTIQUE OAK THAT IS OLD
Bsautiful Results With Pieces Buried UA-
 der Chicago 1000 Years Ago.

der Chicago 5sOOu Years AB0s
 White oak logs that have been bur. fed under the Site of Chicago for 1000 years have just been put to use. Prof. Ossian Guthrie, the Chicago geologist, who has studied the local strata and helped to uneRrth the remnants of some of these prehistoric trees, has just come into possession of two toilet brushes made from this ancient oak, that have surprised the manufacture CT of imitation antique" woods by the wonderful color and polish of which the genuine antique oak Is cap- able. No precious woods that have ever been imported into Chicago are SO marvelously beautiful as these specimens with which Prot Guthrie has just been presented.
 Most of these prehistoric logs have been resurrected from the 7,000-year- old graves to be divided up among the museums and universities of the coun- try. Walnut, willow, beech and most of the modern native woods have been dug up under these glacial deposits xnd alluyium of seventy centuries, but the white oak, the same tree evidently that fourishes in the parks to-day, has heen preserved best of all.
 Some frightful cyclone appears to have bent and laid low tue trees aS first. The iron fibre is bent and twist ed in nearly all of them in one part1cs uIar spot in the trunk, and it is eYt- dent that this was the cause that first buried the giant forests under the sands and alluyium. Some of these trunks have been followed by Prof. Guthrie in the excavations for streets and houses for many feet. Que trunk in Sheffield avenue, was unearthed for seventy feet,
 Evidently this forest was the first growth after the glacial period. It lies close to the glacial clay, under the al- luyial drift, at a general depth of four. teen feet. The cyclone apparently laid the forest low, and the sand and drift were blown up from the lake and eoV' cred it. The water formed an alright capsule about the trunk, aud kept 1t from decaying.
 Of late years, however, the surface sewers have drained the water away from the trunks, and the bark and out CT layers of wood have gone to decay. The iron fibre of the inner wood is still intact in most of them, however. The wood from which Prof. Guthrie's souvenirs are made was dug up near the corner of Calumet avenue and Thirty-ninth street, where many of the trunks are being chopped away in sewer exeaYating.
 No imitation antique wood has ever attained the singular beauty of this old oak. 1t is dark, almost a greenish black the result of hundreds of years discoloration by the surrounding wa ter The polish which it has attained is unlike anything ever seen by wood importers. The fibre of the wood was found almost as tough as fine wire in working it up.

work. One can understand what the employer meant when he said that he wished his men had been taught that it is dishonest for them to take their pay and not to do their work faithfully. Let us see. If a person is taking BIO week for his services and only does four-fifths of his work he is receiving S2 for which he gives nothing in return. Hun dreds of employees who would not take cent from the money drawer do not seem to realize that it is wrong to take wages and not give and equivalent in labor.
 Turn the tables a minute. If an employee worked full time and his employer paid him for only four fifths of the time, lots of things would be said by the employee, among them that he was being cheated out of his honest due. In the one case the employee does not do what ke agreed to do, and in the other case the man for whom he works fails to keep his contract. Fair question:: Is the debt of labor any less sacred than the debt of wages? Think of the hours of labor which are paid for md the money not earned; time robbed by en- ployees being late, being physically unfit for their work on account of loss of sleep, and the general lack of interest in their duties. For the man who is risking his capital in business and who has the bills to meet when they come due, it Is natural that he should expect the people in his em- ploy to manifest an honest interest in what they are doing.

The Best Air Temperature.

The conditions affecting the temper, ature of the body other than those due to physiological conditions are very numerous. First and most obvious is the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. It is a well-established fact that an average temperature of the air of 54 degrees Fahrenheit is best adapted to the public health, for at that temperature the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter Is slight and normal temperature is most easily maintained. Every degree of temperature above or below that point requires a more or less effort of the heat-regulating power to maintain the proper equilibrium. Even more potent in eIsyating the bodily temperature is the introduction into the blood. wheth- CT by respiration or by direct injection of putrid fluids and the gases of de- composing matters. If this injection Is repeated at short intervals, death will occur with q high temperature.
 The air of cities contains emanations in hot weather from a vast number of sources of animal and vegetable de. composition, and the inhalation of air so yitiated brings in contact with the blood these deleterious products in a highly divided state which causes a fatal elevation of temperature in the young, old and enfeebled. The same effect is produced by the air in close and heated places, as in tenement houses, workshops, schoolhouses. hos. pital wards and other rooms. where many persons congregate for honrs

Pussr,s Victory Oyer an Eagle.

A tiger cat, belonging to Farmer Hazard, of Herrick, SusquehannR county, was strolling out toward the barn some time ago, carrying in her teeth piece of meat for her young. A bald eagle, which had been lowering over the farm for week, suddenly de- gcended upon her and whirled her up- ward in rapid vertical flight
 The path of ascent, to the eye of a spectator watching the scene, was clearly indicated by loose feathers violently tossed from the point of com- bat. In a brief time the struggling pair came to standstill iu the sky. The eagles wings had dropped now and then, and he had given plain evil dence of pain and terror, yet not once had his awful grip appeared to relax. At length a descent was begun, with a rapidity which increased every mo- ment, and the two animals struck the ground at the point where they had at first encountered each other. but the eagle was dead, and the cat, as soon as sue felt terra firma beneath her feet, shot away for the barn, still carrying her bit of meat.
 Investigation showed that the cat had cut the eagles throat and so lacer- ated it's breast that its body was liter ally laid open. After the death in mid- air, however, the cat had been too clever to relax her hold and thus fall to the ground, but let her enamy serve B parachute to ease her descent.

 Sunday, June 1t.-Last week some of you employees read the letter about employers.x Possibly you felt glad because some things in some employers were severely censnred. Perhaps you said: "This particular thing hits my employer hard and he deserves it, too. I should like to send him a copy of the letter and so enable him to find out how to treat me better" Well, if your employer infrlnged upon your rights, | hope, as you do, that he read the letter. Now, can you turn in a fair spirit and read about some of his rights? Perhaps he may feel like sending you & copy of this letter. What then?
 Yes, employers lave their rights, too, and some of the men who work for them have little or no conception of what these rights are. It is time well spent to discuss what employees are entitled to, and we all knowthat many of them get less than they de- serve, but it is equally profitable to talk about what employers are en- titled to, for many of them do not get what they pay for. Look at a hundred employees on their way to work son morning. Study their faces. A part of these people, both men and W omen, will look as if they were more fit to go to sleep than to go to work. Yes" you say, "but they must have pleasure. They work for it." How about the men for whom they work having the results of the physical shength needed for a days labor? They pay for it, aud possibly think it ons of their rights that they should have it.
 Overdoing the Pleasure Part.
 A few mornings ago a young man said in my hearing: "I was out at q dance last night and didn't get to bed until after 3 o'clock, and 1 am about half asleep. Wish I were go- ing the other way" (meaning toward home). He looked about halt asleep and could not help thinking how unfit he was for a days work. AS to pleasure? Ofcourse every person needs some and can have it and not incapacitate himself for good work As to turning night into day and going to work in the morning physi- cally unfit, as many do, who will say that an employee can do it and feel the same interest in his work and discharge his duties as well? An employee should feel as much inter- est in doing his work well as he does in getting his pay promptly.
 A Religion Hard to Practice.
 One of the mast rearchine tests that can be made of q person moral character is that of the degree of faithfulness with which he does his
