When the source of joke is unknown it's

of some of the best jokes ever sent out from the

Mr.. Allen engaged not long ago TO help reform

ruin because of mis- fondness for the Wine cup
and whose family suffered through his neglect
The member from the Ist Mississippi District in
his role of phanthropist saw the man in
question and exacted from him promise that
on certain day he would take an oath not to
touch whskey any other intOxicant for a
year al least. Several days after the date named
Allen met his unfortunate friend in the leading
saloon in Tupelo in a very unsteady condition,

Mississippi, what do you by being in

that you would swear off on the 10th?"

September said then that nothing would
induce me to be a candidate for the presi-
dency. Since then. however, have had
the leisure and inclination to study the
matter, and have reached a different con-
clusion. inasmuch as so many assurances
have come to me from my counttymeIi

by the r. b. Jens Company, of New York,
intimidated the native carpenters. and
forced thirty-tive Of them to Quit work
The present rate of wages is sl.50 per ten
hours labor day. The leaders of the
movement demanded an eisht-hour labor
day.
AT noon to-dayta mob of over 10000
people assembled and attacked the ST.
Thomas laborers sThere were $50 police
men on duty, but they made no attempt
to disperse the crowd. and a company OF
infantry was called out to preserve order.
The crowd was otviolent beyond sbea ting
a few men. Thctiagitators were headed
by Santiago Iglesas late delegate to the
labor convention at New York.
The laborers from St Thomas refused
to return to work, being afraid CT the
attacks after hours
Tho workmen who were satisfied and
willing to work We're forced out by the
so-called union leaders, with the result
that the natives will not be engaged.
The company has. cabled to the United

day. The meeting for that purpose hav

at Murphy's Hotel. The organization of
a State Association of Independent Tele

fected at the same time. A preliminary
meeting of representatives. of the inde-
pendent telephone interest in the State
was held last night at Murphy's, at
which matters pertaining 10 the organi-

possible that the local exchanges will
