Autos Rounding n Curve

ut is n curious thing to see racing
automobile in full career, its chauffeur
arrayed in leather cap and jerkin, with
black goggles over his eyes, bent for
ward so as to offer the least resistance
to the wind" says Edward Emerson
in Ainslee's. "While rounding curves
at top speed he may be seen leaning
far inward. so as to Offset the effect of
centrifugal force The automobile, 1t
must be remembered, is unprovided
with any means of counteracting the
effect of centrifugal force. When
railway rounds a curve, the inner rail
is slightly raised, so as to incline the
cars within that curve. The wheels
are held on the tracks by their fanges.
With automobiles running around
curves without inclines, as they most
ly do, the centrifugal force tends con-
stantly to throw the carriage from its
true course. This force Is counteract-
ed only by the friction between the
tires and the ground. When the GEN.
trlfugal force oyercomes this friction,
as is bound to happen on slippery
roads, the equilibrium is destroyed,
and the carriage, while sliding on its
wheels. is thrown without the curve.
To apply the brake in such cases would
only make matters worse. There is
nothing to be done but to correct the
equilibrium by counterbalapcing de-

SYBARlTES IN THE COLD.
Luxury as II Is INDUCED In by the
Arctic Traders.

So much has been written Of the Es-

the north that they may well be men
toned here If only to show the idea Of
luxury which many Of the factors and
traders of the Hudson Bay company
entertain. Seated or rather reclining
In his cariole, swathed in furs, he is
driven by an engage on foot who dash
es along at great pace. The cariole is
painted gaudlly. There are Russian
bells on the collars of each Of the long
span of dogs. while the harness Is a
mass Of beadwork and tassels.
No longer when he lodges at night at
post does he partake solely Of the
simpler fare 1t can furnish, nor even
when he camps out In the wilderness
must he be content with what his gun
can bring down In addition to the penn
mlcan he carries. For now, either un-
der the cariole seat or In an additional
sled behind, there is found good sup
ply of canned meats and vegetables,
products Of Chicago and Ontario, and,
moreover, his driver Is his cook. In
the open a fire will be deftly kindled,
tea will be made, bacon and even eggs
will be fried, and hot "fapjacks," that
delectable fritter of the bush, half an
inch thick and swimming in grease
and molasses will tickle the factors
palate.

WHEN PERIL COMES.
Sudden and Extreme Danger the
Test of True Courage.


1t is when the unexpected happens
that fatalism proves how fragile prop
it is, after all, for human courage. The
soldier or the sailor can say to himself
when he knows that he must take a
supreme risk in battle or in a storm:
81 am powerless against the fate which
was decreed for me from the beginning
Of the world. If my time has come,
cannot help II; II not, all the forces Of
earth and sky and ocean cannot prevail
70 harm me-" But when without an In
stant's warning rock crashes through
q ships bottom and the waters rush
into the gap, when confusion seizes the
entire company aboard, when the fog is
too thick for the captain to be seen or
the roar of the sea browns the sound Of
his orders a new test Is applied. Then
1t is that the courage which rests on
nothing firmer than a negation gives
way, and In his greed to save his own
life the stole becomes as madman.
There have been steamship disasters
In which men Of humble station, of all
colors and faiths, have shown the finest
quality Of heroism, and there have been
those In which the common sailors, all
whites and Europeans, have earned
eternal disgrace by their cowardlce.
The point we are making is not that 1t
is possible to draw a hard and fast line
between one religion and another or
one race and another In the matter Of
bravery, but that the affirmative sense
Of responsibility for ones own acts, Of
the difference between right and wrong,
between nobility and ignominy and Of
the grandeur of duty well done at the
sacrifice Of self, is a far surer depend
ence in the presence Of sudden peril
than all the stoical philosophers ever
worked out by the mind Of man.

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bronchi-
tbs, which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their first
indication a persistent cough, and II
properly treated as soon as this cough
appears are easily cured. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has proven
wonderfully successful, and gained
its wide reputation snd extensive sale
by it's success in curing the diseases
which cause coughing. Ifit is not
beneficial it will not cost you a cent.

BUTTE WILL AID THE STRIKERS
This City Decide Help Their Frisco Brethren
oting FirmsD to be

THE strikers at San Francisco are
to receive help from Montana la
Dor unions, if they can hold out
long enough for the help to do them any
good. At its last meeting the Silver
Bow Trades assembly took up the mat
ter in response to a request from the
San Francisco labor council that the
Western Labor Union act upon the
question of instituting a boycott upon
the most obnoxious leaders of the anti
union war in San Francisco. -Four firms
were named as practically Objectionable.
President Mcdonald of the Western
Labor union answered the request,
promising to give whatever aid ne could
in presenting their case to organized
labor of Montana. The meeting of the
Silver Bow Trades assembly was one
of the results of this action.
The trades assembly did not order a
general boycott, but Sile individual
unions in the city and in the state at
large are taking up the matter, and II
is understood that all goods from the
firms named, Levy Strauss & Co., cloth
ing; the Tillman- Bendel Co., groceries;

ment today:
LAS the result of the attempt by the
American Tin Plate company to start
it's Crescent works at Cleveland in "a
hours half the mills were put in sue
cessful operation, manned largely by
former workmen who have seeded
from the Amalgamated associa tion
stating their belief that the officers of
the association had done wrong in vio-
lating their written agreement with
the company. The start at Cleveland
having succeeded, the company VIII, in
a short time make similar move else
where"
The situation today can be generally
summarized as follows: In round num-,
bers the last strike order by President
Shaffer has been obeyed by COCOA men
and the total number of men who
struck or were rendered idle by all
three orders is now placed at $4,000
men. The manufacturers continue to
hold their ground at Chicago. Joliet,
Bayyiew, Youngstown, Columbia, the
Kisimenetas Valley and in all of the
Carnegie plants except the lower union
mill in Pittsburg. The steel managers
also count the refusal of the furnace
men or the Mahoning and Shenandoah
valleys to strike as a victory. The
steel corporation also secured the city
in re-opening the two mills at the
Painter plant in Pittsburg and in
the opening of the Crescent tin plate
mill at Cleveland.

We're active it is said in trying to break
down organized labor and will be made
examples of first.
Should the strike continue, it is said
that other San Francisco firms which
take sides against organized labor will
eue put on the e~unfair list, and the entire
force of the labor unions of the state
will be thrown in favor of the strikers.
AS the Butte trade has used consider
able quantities of San Francisco goods,
it will be possible for the local unions
to WELD formidable weapon in their
determination not to buy from the OBJ
jectionable houses
circular is now being prepared by
President Mcdonald, to be mailed to
all the branches of the Western Labor
unon, calling for immediate action in
support of the San Francisco workers.
The circular will probably be ready for
distribution tomorrow. The matter will
also be presented to the Montana Trades
and Labor council which meets at Ana
conda on the Goth, and it is likely that
they will take immediate action.
