CURIOUS ABOUT REED BIRDS
A western Miners Expensive Dinner
I'm New York City Opened
His Eyes.

One day lately the hotel population
of New FORK had two additions in the
shape of men from out of the west. One
was shrewd young lawyer from Den
yer. who had been in the city before.
The other was a grizzled, open-eyed
miner, who until this trip, hadn't been
ten miles away from the mining camp
where he went as a small boy. The old
man struck it rich, some years ago, but
hadn't money to work his claim. New
York capitalists have been negotiating
q deal with him and he came down east
to close the transaction, bringing the
Denver lawyer with him to protect him
from green goods men and capitalists.
Thirgs went smoothly and the other
day tho deal was brought to a eonclu-
sion, leaving the old miner richer by
almost million dollars. He was slight
ly staggered when he began to realize
the situation and 10 understand that be
had money to burn; but, being man,
his first impulse was to set about burn
ing it. Up to that time he had seen
nothing Of New York. He had been too
busy; but now he wanted an introduce
ton.
Dick" he said, wen have a New
Years dinner on me. Take me to the
SWEETEST joint in town and order the
best meal they can cook"
The lawyer grinned, called cab and
landed his charge at the proper place.
The old man was impressed by the head
waiter, but not subdued.
what will you have?" asked Dick.
"Oh, you order anything you see
that's worth eating, with the kind Of
hquor that goes with it. Darn the ex-
pense."
Dick knew a thing or two about din
mars and his spirit scared within him.
He made out a msnu that reduced the
waiter to groveling respect and defer
ence, and he arranged the vintages, as
though he had never moved west 10
live.
When the dinner came on the old
man took it without a murmur. He
didn't know what he was eating the
greater part of the time; but be liked
1t, and he approved of the wine. When
the game came on, he was moved to
curiosity.
"Them amt quail, and they amt
prairie chicken. What are tKey?"
"Reed birds" said Dick.
When the dinner was finished the
waiter brought the bill. Dick looked
at it and chuckled. He knew that the
old mans idea of blowing oneself"
was two-dollar dinner at Slippery
Tins. He handed the bill TO his friend,
who promptly showed it back to him.
"You jest tell me what ii is" he said,
pulling out his spectaeles, 'and I'll
ante"
Its s34," said Dick.
The old man put on his glasses and
looked over them at the lawyer, whose
face was impassive. He shot a furtive
glance at the waiter who stood like a
craven image. Then he dived into his
waistcoat pocket and pulled out a roll
Of money. He counted out S34.
1.-Two dollars for the waters tip"
whispered Dick. His friend stolidly
added two one-dollar bills TO the pile.
They put on their hats and went out
upon the avenue. Neither said a word.
They walked down the street in silence.
At Twenty-eighth street the old man
leaned over and touched his companion
on the arm.
Say. Dick. he said. in a stunned way,
"where do they get them reed birds?"

Least That They Will Accept and Proceed
to Work Again.
At the United Mine Workers head
quarters this statement was given ont:
What we want is:
Il. A better enforcement of existing
mine laws.
80. TO obtain that which is fully our
own, l. e.. the value of labor actually
performed and hitherto taken from
us.
''3. To obtain the right to purcase
our implements of labor at fair mar
ket value and escape from the COM
pulsory rule which forces us to pay
the operators more than twice what
the same materials can be purchased
for at retail in tn eopen market.
81. To allow readjustment of the
wage scale that will nearly conform to
the normal conditions of the anthrac cite
trade and establish as nearly as prac-
ticable a uniform price for each class
of work in and around the mines"
The strikers say that until these con-
cessions are granted and the union rec
ogniZed they will not return to work.
HaZletOn, Pa, Oct. 2.-It was ex-
pected in some quarters that yesterday
would bring a turning point in the
strike, but nothing came to the surface
that would lead to any indication of
the strike nearing an end. Since the
operators began to hold conferences
President Mitchell is receiving more
information than formerly and giving
out less. The strike situation in the
Lehigh valley showed a change in ia
vor of the men.
Notices of the increase in wages and
the reduction in the price of powder
decided upon by the operators at
Wilkesbarre yesterday We're posted last
night at all the collieries in the Lehigh
region. President Mitchell, when
shown a copy of the notice, declined to
say anything at this time, but init
mated that he might outline his posi-
ton at the Wilkes barre mass meeting
today He added, however, that there
would be no resumption of wufk until
a convention of the anthracite miners
had been called and the proposition
