A Fable.

A man there was endowed with wealth
Friends, fortune, fame, good looks ard
health.
Obedient children loving wife
Cncountcd blessings crowned his life.
But. though he viewed his lot with pride,
Think YOU this man was satisfied?
No; not content with fame and pcif,
He borrowed trouble for himself.
AS copybooks have often taught,
The borrowers ways with sorrow
fraught
And one who asks loan, some day
The obligation must repay.
Now, he who borrowed trouble found
That when the payday came around.
He had to own. with grief and shame,
He hadn't trouble to his name.
So he was fettered hard and fast,
And in a debtors prison cast.
And there he weepS with bitter moan
Because he can't repay his loan.
MORAL:
Don't borrow trouble. for alack.
You may have none to pay 1t back.
Carolyn Wells, in Saturday Evening
Post.

Judge Harter took the matter under

room, at the court house at Z o'clock.
He examined the petition carefully
and about o'clock granted the tenn
porary injunction. requiring the com
pany to enter into bond of $1,000 to
indemnify the enjoined parties from
any injury or interference with their
rights.
The Injunction restrains all the
strikers or others from gathering about
the works of the company or in inter-
fering in any way with the running
of the plant. from conspiring to induce
employees to strike and from interfering
In any way with persons seeking en-
ployment at the Morgan works. The
strikers are also enjoined from inter-
fering with the new employees finding
boarding places or from boycotting
hotels. merchants, boarding house
keepers. or others who may furnish
boarding or food to the non-union
men. The injunction is sweeping
one. of the blanket sheet order. and
gives every protection to the company.
Should any of the men violate the
order. they will be held for contempt
of court.
