Three Traits of q Eoy.

There are three things that child
may do with the world that surrounds
him. He may appropriate it; he may
run away from it; he may fight it.
These three types Of action sum up
the efforts of mans life, from the
cradle to the grave. They spring from
three emotions, the most fundamen-
tai and the most difficult to control
These are sympathy, fear and anger
What n child sympathizes with, what
he fears, what he gets mad at-this
will determine very largely what he
shall become. The training Of these
emotions should, therefore, be the
primary aim of every parent and
teacher. This fact has not been gen.
orally recognized. And because it has
not. the world is full of men and
women who sympathize unwlsely, fear
unwisely, fight unwisely and live mis-
erably.-Detroit Free Press.

To Stop Rooster Growing.

"A Brockton (Mass.) man has invent
ed an appliance to keep roosters from
growing in the early morning and is
said to work like q charm. 1t is called
the Brockton "Anti-crower' The de-
vice is fastened to the bill OF the roos-
ter at night by n simple clasp, which
does not interfere in any way with
respiration. When the chanticleer
rises before dawn, throws back his
head and attempts to wake himself
and everybody else by uttering
clarion note, the device restraints his
ambitious plans and not until his own
er sees fit to remove the clasp will
his vocal organs give utterarce to his
feelings. The inventor hopes to raise
q race Of non-crowing fowl by means
Of this device.

TOOK MIN 0t HIS WOE0s x
"Men on newspapers often have
peculiar experiences said w. A. Fair-
shild Of Chicago, land such one be-
iell a friend Of mine some time ago.
The friend in question was city editor
Of great daily, and in the course of
bis manifold duties it fell to his lot to
take to task one of his reporters. The
reporter in question was an English
man, slow Of thought and action and
miserly Of speech. Through the trade
TO which he was subjected he said
nothing, and when it finally ended he
left the presence of his superior with
out any comment.
"But, as the result proved, he did
some tall thinking. City editors when
'riled,' as is wen known, are pot par
hcularly choice or economical In the
language they bestow on their unfor-
tunate reporters, and among other
things the Englishman bad been told
that he was no better than-in fact,
was-a crazy man and that his proper
habitat was q lunatic asylum and not
the hall bedroom of a Chicago board
Ing house which he occupied.
"The Englishman took this part of
the city editors remarks as his text and
acted upon them. He promptly went
to an asylum, had himself thoroughly
examined by three or four alienists
and secured from them IN official GER
Hfcate to the fact that he was sane.
With this he appeared at the Office of
his paper the next day, and, entering.
the editors sanctum, he slapped it
down before his astonished and dis
mayed superior. Now, you so and get
one,' was bis only comment and FOR
once that city editor capitulated."-

Ellis name was Alexander, and his
weakness was the horses" said the re-
porter. Surprising as it may appear,
he won sometimes and enjoyed brief
nodding acquaintance with fortune.
When the bookmakers got 1T back
again, he took to drink and in the end
went about trying to pick out good
place In which to kill himself.
"He bought drink in cheap hotel,
and the quality Of the liquor led him
to believe he had found the place. He
wished to do no man injury, but any
one who sold that sort deserved to find
a dead man on the premises. He hired
a room, small, bleak, well calculated to
make q man willing to blow out the
gas, even ii he had an aversion to it,
which Alexander had not.
HE plugged the >apertures, closed
the transom, hung his coat over the
keyhole, turned out the gas and lay
down. Then he lighted 1t again and
wrote few foolish letters Of farewell,
so hard is it for even tired mortal to
quit with no word. Then he put out
the light, saw that the gas was flowing
freely and lay down.
HE noticed that 1t was ten minutes
to o'clock in the morning. He fell
asleep, certain it was all over. (Obliv-
ion.)
HE woke. The sun was streaming
in. It was high noon. Yes; he was
alive. He could not understand 1t.
There was no gas in the room, yet It
was still turned on. He finally discov-
cred that In hotels of that sort they
turn the gas off ut l a. m. 'Bunkoedy

NO DECISION YET.

AmaIgamated Officials Still Consider.
ing Peace Proposals.
Pittsburg, July 31.-The executive
board adjourned for the day without
reaching any decision on the peace
proposals submitted by ]. Pierpont
Morgan. The following condition is
looked upon as being the real status
Of the case. The intimation comes
from excellent authority:
It is not hitch over any one clause
in the propositions for a settlement,
submitted by J. Pierpont Morgan Of
the United States Steel corporation,
to the Amalgamated association, that
is holding back an early settlement of
the strike. The real cause of the
trouble is that there are two pro.
nOunced elements found in the make.
up of the executive board of the Anal
gamated association. The Conserva.
tive force, headed by President T. J..
ShaRer, Secretary John williams,
Trustee John Morgan and some of the
older and more experienced leaders,
is understood to look with favor upon
the propositions submitted. On their
face, 1t is said, they may not appear
to be as complete vindication for the
workers as hoped for, but the possl-
bilities for extending the influence of
the Amalgamated association through
the mills of the corporation are mani
fold. The more radical element, which
is largely made up Of the aggressive
and younger men, Is understood to be
anxious to hold out for more favor.
able terms. The controversy between
the members of the board, while calm
ly conducted, 1t is understood, was not
near an agreement when an adjourn
ment was taken.

The first name drawn from the
wheels was that of Stephen A. Hol-
comb Of Pauls Valley. 1. T.. for a
homestead in the 81 Reno district, and
the second Leonard Lamb Of August,
o. T. These two men selected the two
choice claims in this district.
Th capital prize winners, however,
proved to be James r. Wood of
Weatherford, o. T., whose name was
the first to come from the Lawton
district wheel, and Miss Matte H.
Bealls Of Wichita; Kan, who drew the
second number in that district. They
will have the privilege of making the
frst filings in, the Lawton district, and
will undoubtedly choose the two quar-
ter sections adjoining that town. These
are considered the, most valuable in
the territory and are estimated to be
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
The 18th winner in the Lawton dis.
trict was Minerva McClintock, aged
Is years, Of Oklahoma City. She was
married Sunday and by this act for
feits her right to file for claim. She

district, closely settled with middle
class homes, averaging in value a few
thousand dollars each, from which the
occupants only escaped with their
lives and the clothing on their backs.
Over so homes were thus burned,
some of them tenements, resulting in
100 families being rendered homeless.
Others deserted their homes in the
threatened district. Vacant houses all
over town were filled with furniture
removed from the imperiled district.
The fire was fought persistently by
the fire departments of Davenport,
Rock Island and Moline, Ills, the lat.
ter cities responding promptly to the
appeal for aid from here.
Efforts to check the flames were un-
availing until they spread on the north
to the spacious grounds of st. Kath-
crimes hall, boarding school for
young ladies, which was saved after
the tower was burned off. Gradually
the battle waged on the edge Of the
flaming district told as less thickly

Troops object to Decorations While

London, July 26.-Kfng Edward pre-
sented medals to 5000 returned yeo-
many at the Horse Guards parade
here during the day. The ceremony
was the same as observed at the for
mer presentation of medals, but the
inclement weather robbed the function
Of its brilliancy. Queen Alexandra
and Prince Edward, son Of the Duke
Of Cornwall and York, were presnt.
Considerable comment has been
aroused by the refusal of 80 non-com-
missioned officers and men to attend
the ceremony on the ground that their
pay was IN arrears. These men have
addressed letters to King Edward
pointing out that they cannot submit
to be decorated while their wives and
families and some of their number are
starving. The claims of the men, who
say they have not yet been paid, vary
from s63 to e127. Some of the
claimants alleged they have had to
pawn their earlier medals in order to
procure food for their families.

WATER FRONT FEDERATION Or
pERs A GENERAL STRIKE At
SAN FRANCISCO.

-. g.. =
Claim Il Is a Fight for the Existence
Of Unionism-Prospeet That All the
industries Of the City Will BE Com.
pletely Tied Up.
San Francisco, July 31.-The labor
troubles in this city have reached
crisis and as result: maritime traffic
and labor along shore are almost at q
standstill and industries almost to-
tally paralyzed.
The order for general walkout Of
the City Front Federation was made
effective during the morning. The
City Front Federation comprises IA
Unions and organizations, with a full
membership of about $4,000.
Three thousand of these men are
employed at sea or in other cities and
the strike order does not apply to
them until they return to San Fran
cisco. Twelve thousand men have
obeyed the order.
When the order to walk out went
into effect all the big shipping COM
panies, with one exception, were left
without union man. BY special
agreement some time ago between the
Pacific Coast Steamship company and
the Firemen's union, firemen remained
on the vessels of that company.
It is. claimed by the officers of all
of the organizations involved, 1t is
said, that the strike is not purely an
expression of sympathy with the union
OF teamsters, or any other body of
workers who are in dispute with their
emploers, but is a taking up of the
gauntlet thrown down by the EN-
ployers' association. In other words,
the City Front Federation is deter
mined to defend the principle Of
unionisih, which the associated en-
ployers have announced their inten-
ton to crush.
Both sides seem determined to carry
the fight on, and all efforts on the part
OF the mayor and others to
Bring About Settlement
have thus far proved unavailing. It is
reported. unauthoritatively, that sew
eral of the larger wholesale houses
will close down until the strike Is
settled.
There is every prospect that many
other unions will be drawn into the
fight, in which case the business of
the city will be completely tied up.
The coal handlers may refuse to
handle the fuel supply Of the city, or
the drivers Of oil wagons to deliver
oil to manufacturers who use that
product for fuel. The coal supply of
the city will last but two weeks with
ordinary consumption, but with econ
omy 1t may be made to last few
weeks longer. Should the coal and
oil supply be cut off the lighting COM
panies will be compelled to close
down and the city will be left in
darkness after nightfall.
Several disturbances have occurred,
and the first really serious fight since
the trouble commenced took place be-
tween party of strikers and two col
ored drivers imported from the in
terror. The colored men state that
they were attacked and fired into the
strikers in self defense. One man
was slightly injured. He was
striker who happened to be crossing
the street near the scene of the
trouble. The strikers claim that the
shooting was unprovoked. The nom
union men were arrested but were re.
leased on bail. Several fights occurred
on the water front and the police were
compelled to use their clubs freely,
but no one was seriauslv injured
