responds, after a fashion of his own,
to human kindness. OF such a one a
daily paper tells a pretty story:
Ned is a tame fox well trained
and of such good intentions that he
will not touch any of the poultry
the place Chickens feed near his box,
and he acts as if he liked their society.
Doubtless they serve to render his
confinement less irkSOme.
One morning recently large chick

chicken close to the box where the
fox is chained. Ned, hearing the noise,

en- and settled it's free claw deep into
the fox's nose. Reynard squealed, but
he hung to the hawks leg.
At this moment a cat that had be-
come attached to the fox heard Ned's
cries of pain, and rushing out she
sprang upon the hawk and c1awed its
back. That made the hawk let go the
foxs nose very suddenly to protect
itself from this new foe. 1t tried to
claw the cat, and while thus engaged.
the fox set his teeth into its head and
shook the life out of it.
Soon after this Ned and the cat were
seen lying down side by side, in great
amity and contentment.-Yout Com

you were very positive in your assur-

why, man, he is drunk all of the
time; in fact, 1 do not think he has
drawn a sober breath since he has

Then what are you jumping me
for? Your own statement bears out
just what / told you about him. I
have known D. for the past ten
months, and l know that he has been
drunk during all of that period, and
if that isn't being a man of steady
habits I'd like to know what it is ?''

FAKE MINING BOOM.
Sueh Is the Tonopah, Nevada, District
Designated.

Morris Cahill, formerly a miner OF
Butte, now a temporary citizen of Tono.
pah, Nevada, has written John Mel.
vile, of Walkerville, letter concerning
Tonopah.
In the epistle Mr.. Cahill says that a
mining company operating there has let
u contract for piping water into Tonopah
from point fifty miles away. The
water is to supply the inhabitants of the
town and a 1OO.stamp mill which the
company intends to erect. He says it
will take year to build the mill. as all
the machinery and other supplies will
have to be freighted sixty.three miles.
"There is no talk of building a railroad
into the district" said Mr.. Cahill. "It

Rail Road Through These Gold Fields

4 press dispatch from Portland says:
Whatever the real significance Of the

road company may be, it is certain that
its promoters mean business. The en-.

object Of this railroad corporation is to
build road from Coos Bay to Salt Lake

eastern Oregon. There is much mystery
N TO its connections, but as long as it
means business the people of Oregon
will probably not care much. As yet no
one knows whether it is an entirely in

great transcontinental systems. Specu.

Iron and steel Workers.

Rumors are rife that new natlonal
union of iron and steel workers is TO
be formed, and that organizers or the
Steel Workers Association OF America,
which is the name of the new body,
are gathering recruits in the ONO, IN
diana and Illinois field. The organlZa-
ton, it is said, has its origin In the de-
fection of the South Chicago and Mil
waukee steel workers from the Anal
Eamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers during the steel strike last
summer At that time the steel work
ers in these two cities refused to obey
the order of President Shaffer to go on
strike. contending that they had made
a wage scale and agreements with
their employers previous to the pro-
mulgation of that order, and no pro-
visions were made in it for sympa-
thetic strike.
Unions of steel workers in South
Chicago and Milwaukee have been kept
intact, and it is now proposed to build
I'D a national organization from the
members or these lodges and Others
which objected to the strike. None OF
the lodges which refused to go or
strike when ordered will be allowed
representation in the convention o.

One of the most interesting of new
inventions is a camera for taking pho
tographs in the depths of the sea. 1t
consists, more correctly speaking, Of
two cameras, which are so arranged
as to be focused upon a common
point. Each is inclosed in large
steel bulb to protect it against the
pressure of the water.
In the middle of the apparatus is a
glass fronted chamber, which contain
a powerful electric light. When the
light is turned on it shines through
the glass and Eliminates the water
for a considerable distance.

it by lecturing and literary work upon

A Successful Labor Organizer.

Michael Donnelly, president of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of North America,
is one of the most successful labor or
ganizers in the country. About two
years ago Mr.. Donnelly went to Chi

a union of butchers in the stockyards.
After several weeks work he gave up
in despair, as the men rememb ered the
disastrous dispute in 1886. He returned
to make another effort in June. 1900
and succeeded in launching a union of
cattle butchers with IA charter mem
bers. He worked quietly without the
knowledge of the packing firms, and
to-day there is not a single non union
