TO ARBITRATE A STRIKE.
Miners Resume York Pending the De-
clsion of tho ArbItrntoIs

Miners Resume w ork Pending the De-
clsion of tho Arbltrators.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 12.-The 300
miners employed at the Exeter coll
liery Of the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, who went out on strike two
weeks ago against alleged excessive
dOckage and minor grievances, re-
turned to work yesterday pending o
settlement of the points in dispute by
arbitration. The company will ap-
point an arbitrator. the men another
and these two will chose a third. Both
sides think their differences can be
amicably arranged. The Babylon col
liery at Duryea and the Stevens col
liery at West Pittston resumed work
with a full force of men today. Both
mines have been working short hand
ed for week. The situation at Nam
ticoke is unchanged, the $500 strikers
showing no desire to return to work,
unless the Susquehanna company make
some concessions to them. The COM
pany officials are equally as firm. They
say they have no concessions to make.
The suspension of the big collieries is
a serious inconvenience to the Susque-
hanna Coal company at this time,
when there is brisk demand for coal.
But it is said that the company is
making up somewhat for the loss by
operating its collieries at Shamokin
and Lykens double time. The COM
pany officials deny that the miners en-
ployed in the collieries in those places
will strike out of sympathy for the
Nanticoke men.

Players Not to Blame.

EDITOR HERALD I'm reference to your

who were playing that day in wrong light.
The game had been arranged for two weeks,

were disappointed, but we are not to blame
We knew nothing of the game arranged. II

The Home of the Wood Elves.

Have you ever seen in the depths of
the forest a small clearing covered
with the softest, greenest and most
velvety of moss? Around this clear
ing are ferns whose fronds, bending
over and touching at the top, let filter
through only the softest of green
light. Under these ferns, directly in
the centre of the clearing, is large
toadstool, yellow on top and rose
co!ored on the bottom, and around it
are six smaller ones, white, dotted
with black.
Such clearing there was in the
woods away up in Shawano, Wis.,, and
the children had story that when
ever such clearing and toadstools
were to be found there was also to be
found family of wood elves. Many
time have the children secured over
the woods hunting for place of this
description just to get glimpse at
the friendly elves who lived therein.
Very old the father elf was sup
posed to be, with long gray beard
that, as he sat upon the top Of the
largest toadstoCl, touched the ground
stools were the seats of the six sons of
the old elf, and it was supposed that
as their boards grew the toadstools
grew larger, so that the tips of the
b, az Is always just touched the ground.
SO alike were these elf sons to the
father elf that the length of the boards
was the only thing that distinguished
them from him.
When this wonderful place was
found you were to look into the ferns
and say, "Father Elf, by the tree
toad's croak and the foxglove's bite,
answer my question" Then if the
old elf was in good humor he would
send one of his sons away Immediately
before the question was asked him to
get the answer, for the old elf knew
what you were thinking And then,
quick as a fash, back would come his
son, jump upon his toadstool, wag his
gray beard at the old elf, and your
question, no matter what it was, would
be answered.
In your rambles through the woods
be sure to look for such clearing.
with its ferns and velvety moss and
toadstools. If you don't see the elves
it is great fun looking for them, and
you know that fairies are never afraid
of children. Buffalo Times.

SpoiIt the Presidents Page.

During the Presidents visit to the
Hot Springs of Virginia he drove
with Mrs. Mckinley to one of the
little resorts in the vicinity, where he
registered modestly as William Nc
Kinley and wife. Shortly after the
President had entered his name on
the register young lady of fashion
able mien approached the desk and
wrote in bold hand underit, ''Miss
Blank, Washington, d. c."
"What have you done? What have
you done?" cried the clerk in dis
tressed tone as she laid down the
pen.
"What do you mean?" asked the
girl innocently; "I've done nothing
but write my name"
Eyes" replied the clerk, "but you
have written it directly under the
Presidents signature, and we had
intended to frame that page"

gayly quoted the young person from
Washington, who was so merry and
so pretty withal that she was readily
forgiven for spelling the page. e.-Phila-

Graceful and Comfortable.

The prevailing style of waist for
misses is that with contrasting
gui,npe. 1t is graceful and comforta-
BILE, and can easily be remodelled.
The model shown in the large en-
craving, while illustrated in white
muslin with the guimpe of tucked and
shirred material, is suited to many
other stuffs. Thin silks, such as In
dia and foulard, make attractive
guimpe when in contrast to dark
wool waist, and innumerable similar
combinations can be devised.
The foundation for the waist is a
fitted lining that closes at the centre
back. On it are arranged both the
yoke and the full portion, but if a
more dressy effect is desired for dane
ing school or party wear. both yoke
and sleeves can be left unlined, allow
ing the skin to peep through. Round
the neck, outlining the yoke and fin
ishing the wrists, are ruchings of the
muslin, edged with tiny lace. The
collar is high and of the tucked ma
terial, but has frill of lace, and up
on each shoulder is arranged bow Of
white ribbon.
To make this waist for miss OF
fourteen years one and ive-eighths
yards of material thirty inches wide
will be required.
