Illusion.
= the sea she is a queen

Down by the sea she is a queen
And he a prince of noble mien;
The moonlight makes a path OF gold
Unto her throne, and wealth untold
Is scattered Ger the glistening strand.
They speak no word, but understand
That life Is all that life should be
Down by the sea.
When back in town-she squints bit
And her complexion doesn't fit
The color of her wavy hair.
And he has weight, alas. to spare;
His legs bow slightly when he walks
IT'S thus that disappointment stalks
And changes smiling to frown.
When back In town.

The Strike,

The success of the strike managers Sat-
urday night at Milwaukee in leading the
steel workers there out Of the mills has
stiffened the backbone of the leaders and
has enthused the strikers in the ranks.
The manufacturers have had no success
to offset 1t, save their ability to hold their
lines intact I'm other places and to SNUG
gle non-union workers into the steel mill
at Monessen. Their opportunities to gain
ground have thus far been limited, for they
have pursued a policy of quiet methods to
resume work, not attempting on a broad
scale to force the operation of the mills by
non-union men guarded by armed forces
The demonstration at Wellsville against
the non-union men indicates that the trust
cannot much longer depend upon the strike
breakers If the latter are allowed to leave
the works after hours, for they are not
likely to withstand the tremendous moral
and physical pressure sure to be brought
upon them increasingly as the strike pro-
ceeds. The only alternative to this method,
short of an absolute shutdown of the
works, is to hold the men within bounds
and to set up guard line. Past expert
ence suggests that this course Is likely to
lead to violence, as the strikers are quick
to resent a show of force The danger
pOiiitS aic iiiSTcdSiHS numDeF. IneTe Is
a constant possibility of trouble at McKees-
port, at Wellsville and at Monessen, while
there are signs of friction at Carnegie,
Homestead and Duquesne where the nom
union mills operated by the Carnegie COM
pany remain undisturbed. The report has
come that the strikers propose to shut of
the steel supply used by the Carnegie fin
ishing mills by persuading the workers at
the Duquesne plant OF the Carnegie COM
pany. which furnishes this supply, to walk
out of the mills

The Appeal to Civic Pride.
ON the New York Evening Post.

The thing most essential to securing good
municipal government In New York Is civic
pride, and the most hopeful omen for the
approaching campaign Is the evidence Of its
development among US. There Is much dis
cussion as to the reasons why the great
cities Of the United States are poorly gov
erned, but any thorough analysis must
show that the fundamental difficulty Is the
lack Of that pride In the municipality and
Of that readiness to work for the public
welfare which are indispensable II the best
results are to be achieved

A Mr.. Borden, who manufactures print
cloths in Massachusetts, expresses the
opinion that the way to meet a condition
OF over-production Is to stop making goods
FOR awhile. This is theory of very limited
application. The stoppage OF wages to any
considerable extent produces a condition
or underconsumption which Is difficult to
distinguish from its opposite evil, and
which Is even more dangerous IN its eco
nomic consequences

THE BACTERIA WE EAT.
Millions in a Pat of Butter-A Score
of Millions in n Few Drops of Milk.
From Longman's Magazine.

From Longman's Magazine.
Why is butter sailed? Mrs. c. c. Frank
land gives scientific answer: I'VE must
first realize that the bacterial population
of a moderate-sized pat of butter may be
reckoned by millions: that a tiny lump
only large enough to go into a thimble
has been known TO be tenanted by nearly
4S,0000O0; that. in fact, in consuming a
slice of bread and butter YOU may I'M
consciously be assimilating individual
lives exceeding in number those of the
whole of Europel
THUS the urgency for keeping these
hordes in check, and hence the efforts
which are made first to set up effectual
barriers to their ingress by taking proper
precautions in the production of milk
and, secondly, in the conduct of the pro-
cesses involved in the manufacture and
distribution of the finished article In
cluded in these processes is the addition
OF salt in such quantities as to Justify
the butter being know as salt butter.
this addition being made with the object
of extending the keeping powers of the
butter, or in other words, to suppress
to a large extent the activities of the
butter bacteria. That salt does act in
this manner is shown by the fact that
in butter thus treated "a very large re-
duction in the number of micro-organ-
isms present Is erected. There can be
little doubt, therefore, that the common
butter microbes do not by any means
regard salt as their elixir OF life!"
The writer also refers 10 the investi-
cations OF a Russian savant, Nj. Zakher-
bekoff. who carried out an elaborate in
auiry into the bacterial quality of the
milk supplied TO st. Petersburg. The fig
ures he obtained are appalling MIX de-

turrets, the forests of stone foliage, the
poetry of waterspouts, the quaint humors
of the wood-carvings, the depth of the

went through the window of a house on

KNEW THE RIVER WHEN 1T WAS
A CREEK

cambridge Searchlight: The Dawson
News says the oldest man in the world
lives in Terrell county and is a negro man
11s years old, according to his own state
ment Probably the News has not heard
of George Young of Decatur county, who
is entitled to at least as much credit for
veracity the Terrell county old man.
George Young's memory goes much fur
Their back in the past than any other yet
heard from for he distinctly recalls the
time when Flint river at cambridge,
which now floats a fleet of large steam
ers, was only a small creek. George does
not remember the year or the geological
period in which he was born, but his
statement certainly credits him with much
more than us wears.
