SHEEP WITHOUT A LEADER.
Striking Cigar Makers Lose Their Wits and
Know Not What to Do
(By the Associated Press

Tampa, Fla, August THE Resisten-
cia union has changed its position several
times today. This morning the strikers
were taking an obligation to leave Tampa
ia body and never return under any
circumstances. This afternoon they issued
a statement that if their leaders are re-
turned to them they will then be ready
10 arbitrate and settle. They declare
that they will do nothing until this is
done. Citizens say they will have long
job of waiting on their hands.
II seems to be positively settled tonight
that these leaders are gone beyond reach
and this is mpreSsing itself upon their
minds. Resistencia has been telegraph
ing to Key West and New York all day
trying to employ attorneys to come here
and take their case but with what sue
cess is unknown tonight. This action was
upon the belief that the men were in
jail They are not and never have been
From their vacillating moods it is inter-
preted that they are wavering and will
soon be ready to reason and resume work
where they left off. Tampa served them
with notice today that if they desire to
leave in a body they can do SO without
objection being raised.

THE NEELEY CASE.
May Lead to q Test Of the Question of Our Re-
lations With Cuba
(By the Associated Press.

Indianapolis, Ind, August THE de-
NAL of jurisdiction by Cuba in the effort
of the United States government to Sc
cure evidence in the Medley case, as made
by the officers of the Indianapolis Keyless
Lock Company, may be the means, it is
believed here, of securing a general test
of the question of insular relations be-
tween this country and Cuba. Commits
sioner Moore will submit the question to
District Judge Baker and with it the
formal refusal of the company's officers
to testify. Assistant District Attorney
LaFollette had no difficulty whatever in
securing evidence at Muncie in the Neelcy
case when he went there recently.
No subpoenas were issued and witnesses
appeared promptly and told all they knew
without reserve. Mr.. LaFplette's inqui-
ries disclosed that Medley had between
$35, 900 and $4,000 on deposit in Muncie.
OF this $21 900 was wired to him when he
was arrested for bond. Aft sr his release
on bond he returned to Munce and drew
2,000 He did not have this when he
was arrested and no trace of it has ever
been found.

Many years ago the Montana club In
Helena entertained Mark Twain after
O. lecture. He met many old friends
there and one old enemy. The latter
had come all the way from Virginia
City, New, on purpose to settle an old
score. When the glasses were filed
and Marks health proposed. this man
interrupted the proceedings by saying:
'.Hold on q minute. Before we go fur
ther 1 want to say to you, Sam Clem-
ems, that you did me a dirty trick over
there in Silver City. and I've come
here to have settlement with you
There was deathly silence for a
moment, when Mark said in his delib-
crate drawl: Lets see. That-was-
before-I-reformed, wasn't-it"
Senator Sanders suggested that mas
much as the other fellow had never re-
formed Clemens and all the others
present forgive him and drink together,
which all did.

False Teeth of Antiquity.

The manufacture and use of false
teeth are undoubtedly Of great an
tiquity. The ancient Egyptians were
no mean dentists. Jawbones Of mum
mics have been found with false teeth
In them. and also with teeth filed with
gold. The ancient Greeks also knew
how to fill teeth with gold; also how to
make false teeth.
There is plentiful evidence Of skilled
dentistry among the Romans, for many
Of the Latin authors have references
to false teeth. In the Roman Laws OF
the Twelve Tables" there are distinct
references to artificial teeth. The first
part Of No. 10 forbids useless expense
at funerals in general. but an exception
is permitted by No. II. which allows
that the gold filings of false teeth or
the gold with which they were bound
should be buried or burned with the
deceased.

Faathsul shepherd Dogs.

A cold spell in Montana killed a
sheep herder in the Great Falls dis
trict. Two feet Of snow covered the
range in places, and the thermometer
indicated 40 degrees below zero.
The herder was frozen to death on
the prairies while caring for the sheep,
and it was three days before his fate
was known to his employers Two
shepherd dogs were with him when he
died, and one of these staid with his
body while the other attended to the
sheep. just as though the herder had
been with him The dog drove them
out on the range in the morning and
back again at night, guarding them
from wolves and preventing them from
straying off, Neither dog had any
thing to eat during the three days
vigil, so far as could be ascertained,
but the $500 sheep thrived as well ap-
parently as though directed by human
agency. The singular fact about the
matter is that these faithful creatures
would have starved to death rather
than harm one Of the sheep left in
their harge.-PortIand Oregonian.

Dead Face In the window.

Crockford, the proprietor Of q well
known London gambling house, was
made to play queer role after ne was
dead. When one of Crockford's horses
was poisoned just before the Derby,
the misfortune brought on an attack
Of apoplexy, which proved fatal with
in 4S hours Now, many Of Crock
ford's friends had staked large sums
on another. Of the gamblers horses,
which was favorite for the Oaks and
which was disqualified by the death
of the owner. Only the people in the
gambling house knew Of Crockford's
death, and it was resolved to keep it
a secret until after the race.
The servants were bribed and sworn
to secrecy, and the conspirators on
the day after the night upon which
Crockford died had the body placed in
a.chair at a window, so that people re-
turning from the track could see the
gambler sitting there. He was fixed
up to look as nfelike as possible and
through the window and partially con-
cealed from view by the curtains look
ed so natural that no one Of the great
crowd which came cheering by the
house when on their return from see
ing Crockford's horse win the Oaks
suspected the trick.
The next day it was announced that
Crockford was dead. but it was years
before the true story leaked out.

TIE Travels Of an Eye1id.

The many thousands Of miles which
q man unconsciously travels in his life
time, taking into consideration the
PAGES his footsteps measure rs he
walks about each day, are enough to
make him sit down to rest for the re-
mainder Of his life.
But now German scientist has
come forward with some std more
startling facts concerning the Journeys
which our eyelid undertakes every
time it winks, and it is not possible for
US to see, he says, unless we wink.
Unconscious1y we wink once q second,
so that for the time we are awake dur
ing the day we voluntarily winb. from
4S,600 to $4,000 times and in q year
have moTed our eyelids down and up
again no less than 1S,25o,Oo times.
The distance that the eyelid travels in
it's great speed is measured from sin-
gle involuntary wink.
This, the scientist says, is q quarter
Of an inch both ways, the eyelid NOV
ing equally up and down, so that, TAX
ing the movement Of both eyelids into
consideration, they cover some $4,000
inches in day. The eyelids Of man
who has lived for so years will have
unconsciously travelled third Of the
way around the earth, or about 1900
miles, q calculation sufficient IL! itself
