THE DEVILS OWN
The coal miner in the Anthracite

districts of Pennsylvania worked
for the Markle company Until, as
the result of various accidents and
the exposure incident to mining
he was no longer able to earn his
living. His skull had been fractured
his ribs crushed, and one eye-and
one leg were gone. With his
blind mother-in-1aw and his sick
wife he was elected from the COM
pany's house that he had so long oc-
The party walked seven miles and
camped in damp building, and as
a result of the exposure the wife
died. This is the story told under
oath by one of the actors in the
grim tragedy before the strike COM
mission this week.
But even this tale ofheartlessness
and rapacity by 1ich coal baron
is not the worst brought out in the
testimony. Two women testified
that Mark1es henchmen deducted
house rent from the last wages of
their husbands who were killed in
the mines, and how officers Of the
company attempted to get them to
sign paper which would absolve
the Markles from damage for the
death of the men. The women
also confirmed the story told by a
breaker boy that the children had
to work without pay until the debt
contracted by the dead father was
paid off.
One man testified that the comp
any charged him IS centsa gallon
for oil. that sells in Hazelton, a few
miles away at IS cents, and 81
cents quire for blasting paper that
can be had for IS cents, and other
necessaries in proportion.
The co1db1ooded cruelty and in
human rapacity manifest in the
above incidents cause one to wonder
what crimes may not be committed
in the minesin the name ofindustry.
Out in the west the cattle and sheep
in the farmers fields and even the
dogs and cats about the house are
given shelter and abundant food.
But apparently, at least in the case
of the Mark1es, and heaven only
knows how many others, human
life and human comfort so far as
the miners families are concerned
are mere trif1es, and human suffer
ing a thing to be dispised. If, as
some hold, the arrangements for
the hereafter do not include a well
appointed he'll and a terrible Satan,
then indeed there ought to be, for
nowhere else will the Mark1es get
an adequate squaring of accounts,
and the devil get his due.

Poisonous Plants.

At an institute held at Antelope, in
Eastern Oregon, Prof. E. r. Lake stated
there are only three poisonous plants OF
any importance in that section, viz,
larkspur, death camas and rattle or loco
weed, important in the order named.
He stated that there were two varieties
of larkspur, one with spreading root,
the other having a solid root or CORN,
the latter variety only being injurious
The death camas is probably more COM
monty known as lobelia.

The Mote and the Beam.

4 dozen or more members OF the local
stock exchange were subjected to a
reprimand some time ago for shooting
'raps on the window stills in the CORR
Tors when not busy on the floor, two or
three sedate members made complaint.
One of the guilty, when he had listened
to the expressed objections against his
pastime, said the idea of stock brokers
0bjecting to gambling reminded him of
an attempt made in his Western home,
wears before, to suspend glass manu-
facturer from the church because he re-
fused to stop making bottles and glasses

committee OF church-goers who sought
to have him dropped was made of pros

annual crops of rye, Of such good quality
that for years it had been bought up as
it grew by gentleman who made peri
odical calls. The pilloried glassmaker
said he did no more against the cause of
temperance than the members of the
committee, all Of whom were so dazed
that they ''took the full count" in the
brokers' words, when they learned that

The Honor of Thieves.

1
Judging from incidents that now and
then are related by the press, one might
well think that the old saying, There
is honor among thieves" should be
amended by the insertion of the little
word mo" Either this is the right
view to take, or we have been deluded
by our ancestors. Perhaps there never
was any honor among thieves. Such
proposition, once advanced, can be well
defended by countless instances OF the
treachery OF partners in crime, To re-
flute it there can be advanced only few
idealized stories of uncommon criminals
who at some time in their lives rose for
a few minutes to the standard of gentle
men.
The latest fragrant case of lack of
honor among thieves is that of Tracy
and Merrill the Oregon outlaws. These
men escaped from prison together, TAX
ing life to gain their Liberty. For days
they fled together with men and dogs at
their heels. They were brothers-in-law
as we'll as llow-fugitives, and one
would think that they would have stood
shoulder to shoulder to the end, reck-
lessly fighting the law that put price
on their heads. Instead of an epic of
the border, they re-enacted the old story
OF shameful treachery. Tracy, from be-
hind a tree, shot his partner in the back
then came forth and in most unroman-
tic manner settled him with two more
bullets. There was the honor OF thieves.
However revolving the crime of Tracy
may seem, one must not look upon him
as an exception. In that deed he showed
himself the type of the thief who kills.
In his logged determination to overcome
obstacles and his reckless bravery when
cornered by pursuers, Tracy is mar
velous man, but he can STAY like cow
ard, and doubtless prefers to do his
work in that way. He is traitor at
heart. The thieves OF all ages and all
countries have been the same. All this
talk about honor has been froth blown
from the beakers of admiring idealists.
I
Ever since man began to govern man,
authority in ferreting out crime has de-
pended, not upon the honor, but upon
the dishonor OF thieves. Today there is
hardly metropolitan police detective
who does not have dozen or more
thieves ON his visiting list. These dis
reputables at the first sign of danger be-
tray their accomplices. Often blood
relatives OF the informer are among the
betrayed, but if he is not exposed in his
perfidy, the informer has no conscience
in the matter. All he asks is that he be
'let down easy" and, if necessary, pro-
tected from his old companions. Among
decent men honor insures safety.
Among thieves it depends upon cupidity
and fear. The rascal who steals has
none Of the finer feelings. To save his
worthless self he will always betray.
There is no honor among thieves

O'BRIEN AND M'KEEvER.
The Latter Will Try and Get on Another
Match.

McKeever who was so well 5ested by
Jack OBrien last week, after it was
thought the latter had been put out in
the early part of the fight. appears to
be anxious for another meeting with
Handsome Jack, and according to the
philadelphia Times" delivers himself as
follows:
Anyone who says he cannot punch had
better stand up before him. He can hit
as hard as any middleweight in the world,
and the man he nails properly will go the
route. He caught me several punches that
shook me up; and he is clever, too. When
the match was made l determined to be
as big and strong as possible, and most
of my training was devoted to getting my
wind in shape. The moment O'Brien went
down, l thought he would remain there
for the limit, and it surprised me to see
him get up inside ten seconds. There is
where ! made my mistake. With the spec
tators cheering and shouting, l rushed in
to finish him, but the noise r.ade me over
anxious. Instead of steadying myself for
one more effective blow, let fly with both
my hands, hoping to reach one vital spot
before he recovered. l failed to do the
trick, however, and after that did not get
another chance
When asked if he would consent to an
other meeting with O'Brien, he said:
Certainly, | will meet him again. l
am in the business for my living, and am
willing to box any middleweight. Two or
three local clubs have already asked me
If | will meet O'Brien in their rings, and
have said yes, provided the purse is
large enough. There are many easier
men than Jack. but if | reached his jaw
once | feel confident | can repeat the
trick. AT any rate, l am willing to try"
