HIS LIMIT OF LAZINESS,

He was without doubt the fellow most ut terly devoid of energy 1t is possible to im- agine. He wouldn't have breathed If he could have helped it.
 One of his sons, who had settled in New York, sent him two dachshund pups. re- member just how Crawford would sit sun ling himself on the porch the whole day, with one of these dogs, like animated sausages, on each side of him. They were always by him, one to the left, the other to he right of his chair, when they were at rest.
 "One day, as I sat talking to him, the dogs were romping n the house Crawford turned and called: Here. Cocoa. Cocoai' and the dachshunds came trotting out
 What are their names. Crawfords" l asked, thinking l had misunderstood.
 Cocoa, replied Crawford
 But there are two, reminded him
 :" One does for both replied the old man They're always together-come and go at the same time. And. anyhow. l m not going 10 worry myself into a decline by thinking up dogs names"

 In Lansford. Summit Hill and Coal dale the attachments of soldiers that were sent out at daybreak to pre- serve order and protect non-union men were greeted by large crowds of strikers, who hooted them and called them names. At Coaldale the soldiers were compelled to get off the cars and force the mob back from the tracks. In Lansford, crowd of women joined in hooting the guards men. Maj.
