His Revenge.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
One of Detroit's business men, who has a
delightful summer home on the top of a
hill between Birmingham and Pontiac, tells
Of an experience he had last season.
When out there / always take a nap
after my noon meal No tropical resident
thinks more of his siesta. One afternoon
was awakened by a loud shouting at the
front gate, which Is at least 600 feet from
the house. i went to the front door, rub
bling my eyes and badly out of temper.
What do you want?' 1 called sharply to the
man, who sat coolly astride his horse as
though had no rights that he was bound
to respect.
Have you seen stray dog pass here in
the last hour?
No! 1 snapped, and turned back into
the house There the thought and inspra-
ton for revenge seized me simultaneously.
L hurried TO the kitchen, grasped the big
dinner horn, returned TO the porch, waited
till my tormentor was at the top of the OPP
posite hill half mile away and then blew
q blast that seemed to echo from the hori-
ION. He turned to see me waving a towel
over my head, and recognizing the signal,
dashed recklessly down the HILL spurred
his horse to the top of the bluff on which

at the gate. Did you recall seeing him,
after ALL? he hallooed.
oh, no. L answered pleasantly, I Just

Four thousand people are thrown out Of
employment by this action of the leading
factories of the city. 1t means that fully
$4,000 weekly will be Withdrawn from cjrcu-
lation while the lockout is on. The manu-
facturers decided on the step taken only aft
er every possible effort had been made to
adjust matters arnicably with their en-
ployes. They conceded every point to the
cigar makers, except that which demanded
the adjustment of the system of weighing
filters at the Manrara factory. On this
point the split WIS made. The Manufacture
ers' Association refused to accede to the
demand and the men refused to recede from
their position. Twenty of the leading fac
tories closed to-day and others will follow.
The suffering among the families of the CT
gar makers will be intense within weeks
time until the lockout is lifted. There is
much excitement in the streets and meet
ings are being held by the cigar makers in
many parts of the city, but there has been
no disorder thus far.

MAY CONTEST THE WILL.


NEW YORK, July Sam T. Jacks dy-
ing request that his widow, Emma, and his
brother. James c. Jack, unite in marriage,
will probably not be complied with, as Mrs.
Jack is said to have decided TO contest her
husbands will on the ground that he was
misinformed when he was led to believe
that no impeachment to a marriage between
his brother and herself existed Sam T.
Jack who died April q last, left an estate
valued at about $25o.O00 the bulk of which
was TOD go to his brother. The will began
with a wish that James and Mrs Jack
should marry, but none of the property was
made contingent upon that event. Mrs.
Jack is said to have discovered that her
brother-in-iaw, James G. Jack, has been
married for over year to Queenie Clifford,
a chorus girl.

Boston Transcript.
A lot Of people have been struck with the
concluding passage in one OF Mr.. j. r.
BASIS recent letters from Manila, in which,
after describing the deadly nights work OF
a gunboat on the Pasig river. he tells how
OF volunteers on the deck of the boat in
lifting up his arms at the rising Of the
sun, and exclaiming:
Wake! for the sun who scattered into
The stars before him from the field of
Night,
Drives Night along with them from
heaven, and strikes
The Sultan's turret with shaft Of light"
1t should not be surprising that a cor
poral of volunteers should be able to quote
from Omar Khayyam, since the ranks Of
the volunteers. like the ranks of European
conscript armies. contain plenty OF college
men and other men Of education. i fancy
Omar is better known In the ranks, for
that matter, than he is at headquarters.
What interested me- when I came to this
passage in Mr.. BASIS letter, was the
thought of the journey which Omar had
travelled in making his appearance on the
scanty appreciation in Persia, and but few
copies of his verses have ever been found
in India. He should have gone on that
way, on the lips of men Of his own faith,
to the far Oriental islands, where these
Mussulmans have lived for centuries Have
his Rubaiyat ever been spoken In those
islands in any other tongue than English?
Very likely not And since the people out
that way have thus missed their birthright
and don't know their Omar Khayyam, why,
this is a fresh point in justification Of the
Anglo-Saxon invasion Of the Philippines.

The Unfortunate "New" Child.


The Mothers Clubs Of New York State
have discovered that the poetical works of
the immortal Mother Goose are unfit for
childish minds. 1t is proposed, therefore. to

songs on such natural subjects as animals,
flowers etc. The objections to Mother
Goose are that when the rhymes are not
vulgar senseless jangle, they are blood
curdling and grewsome. and that they give
false ideas of animal life. While recognize
ing the need OF literature OF some kind for
very young children, the members of the
Mothers Clubs think IL should be free from
suggestions Of cruelty and terror. One OF
the members says: ''I was shocked upon
reading the time-honored Arabian Nights
to find It such an undesirable book for my
child" 1.-The Arabian Nights" will there
fore have to go with Mother Goose. 1t will
find itself In agreeable company, in its re-
tirement, Notwithstanding Mother Goose
was sometimes careless in respect of her
grammar. capricious in her rhyming and en-
tirely Indifferent In regard to concrete facts.
