SMART SHORT STORIES.

A crowd of United States surveyors and
alloting agents were recently working in
the reservation of the Comanche Indians
surveying, establishing, corner stones, and
getting everything ready to divide the
land In quarter. sections. The Indians did
not take very kindly to the division and
allotment of their land, and, seeing that
the whites We're scared. they decided to
act. The surveyors were ALL tenderfeet
from Washington. Suddenly, without
warming, their camp was invaded nv a
Yelling, shooting band of five hundred IN

surveying party could not stand the pres

along the Texas line, and kept up their
Hight, pursued by the Indians, until they
crossed the state line Then they tele
graphed to Fort Sill, and the commander
there sent out large cavalry force to
protect the surveyors. The general sup

When Gov Roosevelt's train pulled out
OF Greeley, Col, the other day. a woman
climbed on the back platform in order to
give him a homemade cake. The train
gained such momentum that when the
time came for her to get off she was OBJ
i1ged to make flying trapeze leap for
terra ftrma She rolled over a few times
in the sand, got, up, and smiled at Roose-
welt as he stood worried for her safety
on the back platform. Then she waived
her handkerchief In evident delight, and
became the envy of a hundred women
who had watched her acrobatfc effort.

HOW TO AvoID STRIKES.

Herman JUST, the commissioner of the
Illinois Coal Operators association. con.
tributes very interesting article to
Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore, in
which is explained the objects of the
association A combination of employers
to deal with their employees, the latter
being members of the United Mine Work
ers' union, might be so maifaged as to
increase the friction between capital and
labor, and it also might have as an object
the assumption of an attitude of defiance
toward organized labor, but this Illinois
association Is neither. On the contrary,
it has conferred untold benefits to both
sides during its short existence of a lit
tie more than two years, and If, for any
reason, it should be abolished row, one of
the first to feel loss would be the
miners unicn itself. Briefly stated, the
essence Of the purpose OF the operators
associa ton Is this:
The full recognition of the United
Mine Workers union, combined with an
earnest effort to bring into action the
best possible business character of that
union.
That ali negotiations must be with the
union as union, through its duly
authorized officers, is accepted; that all
agreements are binding on both sides is.
assumed. But previous to the organiza,;
ton of the operators association, and the
appointment of q special commissioner
to represent all of the operators, 1t was
often bootiess task for the individual
operators to confer personally with the.
union officers, for the simple reason that
they were prone to magnify their own
interests and too quick to refuse q de-
mand which could and should be granted
Again, operators in one section would
| grant demands which their brethren
elsewhere would refuse, thus placing the
former at a commercial disadvantage.
without benefiting the miners union as
a whole These and similar consGera-
tons convinced the fair minded and hon
orable operators that the interests of all
demanded some reform that would not T.,
! any way interfere with the power of the
miners union, ard they have so.ved the
difficulty by forming an association hay
ing a special commissioner Cat present.
Mr.. Justi), whose duty it is to deal with
the union officers. This commissioner is
not connected with coal mining and he's
no personal interests to serve. He can,
and actually has, granted concessions to

this, and after a bitter contest the adj

From this time on Mr. Seward never
lost interest in this Institution, and it

To the day of his death he was inter

work by the. late Bishop Gilbert, Rev.
A. D; Stowe and others.
And, although he suffered at one time
serious financial loss In the contest. he
never regretted it. but, on the contrary,
was prouder of it than any other fact in
the cause OF God and humanity.

A SIGNIFICANT DocUMENT.

There is great deal of official inspira-
ton apparent in the Washington dis
patches these days outlining the atti-
tude Of the administration on the most
recent diplomatic developments in China
The assurances which are distinguish
patches that the administration still adj
heres to it's former policy, and finds the
Anglo-American agreement entirely con-
sistent with that policy, are not a little
suggestive of Hamlets observation:
''The lady doth protest too much, me-
thinks
The Anglo-German agreement is a
very significant document, indeed. It
starts out with the promise, being de-
sirous to maintain their England's and
Germanys) interests in China and their
rights under existing treaties" and
upon that promise, and on that alone, 1t
bases the policy therein formulated
What is that policy? 1t is set forth In
four articles First-It declares for the
open door-a policy to which each of
the nations named is already committed.
Eecond-It declares that there is no in
tention to use the present complications
Ia China Ito obtain for them
selves any territorial advantage In
Chinese dominions," and that they
will maintain undiminished the
territorial conditions" This declara-
ton may be said to represent the prin-
cfple of making virtue of necessity.
1t is the third article, which, in vulgar
phrase, explains the milk in the cocoa
nut. It deserves to be reproduced in
FULL Here it is:
Thirdly, in case of another power
making use of the complications in China
ia order to obtain under any form what
ever such territorial advantages, the two
contracting parties reserve to themselves
the right to come to preliminary TN
Outstanding regarding the eventual step
to be taken for the protection of their
own interests In China
The language Of diplomacy could not
more clearly express the purpose of the
slgnatories to form an alliance, defen-
sive, and, If necessary, offensive, in
China. That is what it does, no more,
no less. Against what power or powers
is it aimed, if any? Whatever the an
swer to this may be, it is quite signif-
can't that Russia has not been included
at least in the German version of the
agreement, liz the invitation ito accept
the principles recorded in It," This Is
according to the prevailing press reports
But whether, the omission is accidental
or purposeful, or whether it exists at all
we have already had such expression OF
Russian official expression on the sub
ject as to leave little doubt how that
ration regards it,
Are we ready to accept the invitation
to commit ourselves to this unders tand-
ing In its full significance? The state
department. officials evidently are per-
fectly willing to do so; but they are
just now feeling the pulse of national
opinion on the subject. Politics or nn
politics, that pulse still beats true to
one sentiment, which is that there shall
he no unnecessary mixing up of this pee
PIE with European diplomatic complica-
tons, whether in China or elsewhere.
