PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in taking
steps to settle the anthracite coal
strike is actuated by motives Of
the highest patriotism and the
most unselfish solicitude for the
welfare OF the nation. The threat
ening coal famine will be produc-
tive OF intense suffering the COM
ing winter in the congcsted centefs
ot the east where fuel, no less than
food, means life to the poor in the
winter months. Something must
be done to alleviate the aggravat-
ing condition Of things existing ir
Pennsylvania. The mine operat
ors refuse to arbitrate nor pa,
higher wages; the miners clamo1
for more pay, for arbitration ane
for the recognition OF their union
and the strikers will not permi
men to work who would work. Mel
theE the strikers nor the operator
will yield. Both want the presi
dent to interfere in their RESPECTIVE
behalfs. The president will d
neither. He earnestly entreats, i
the name Of the country, that tn
Contestants lay aside their diherer
ces and consider, with lofty mag
nanimity, the sad state OF affair
which their injustice, obstinacy
selfishness and avarice is bringin
upon an otherwise prosperor

A ventriIoouist's Joke,

The following incident is well worth
repeating and in the words of an eye
witness:
while overseeing a gang of men,
who. with mule teams, were hauling
loads of dirt, friend of mine--a ven
triloquist-came up and stood by my
side.
Presently a mule. driven by fiery
tempered fellow, baked right in front
of where we were standing. The
driver lost his temper and began to
beat the animal. Every now and then
the mule would turn his head and
look reproachfuly at the fellow but re-
fused to bulge.
Now just watch him." the ventrilo-
quist whispered in my ear.
At that moment the fellow gave the
animal kick with his heavy boot.
The mule turned his head and look
ing the man square in the face opened
his mouth: Don't you do that again"
The voice sounded as though 1t came
direct from between the mules parted
lips.
The whip dropped from the fellow
hand. For moment he stared at
the mule. and then, without a word
he bolted down the street as fast as
his legs could take him."

Profitably in America.
A gentleman connected with the ag-
ricultural department declares that
and manufacture ramie in the United
the efforts of certain parties to grow
States are simply wasted. He states
that the successful growing, market
ing and manufacturing of ramie is a
dead issue in every country except
China, where it has been raised for
centuries and prepared by slow and
laborious hand processes for which
the Celestials are famous.
He states further that millions of
dollars have been spent in this coun-
try and Europe trying to invent a
machine for "decordicating" ramie,
but without success, and that it is too
late for any one to attempt to resur.
rect an issue as dead as that of ramie
in the United States, where 1t has
been given fair test and proven a
failure. He also states that there are
many persons who are honestly misled
in the matter and still think that ra-
mie can be grown and manufactured
in this country with profit, and who
every now and then sink their sub
stance in enterprises engineered by
persons who are similarly misled.

they were a little confused, but
Lucky George, who was a shrewd fel.
low, saw 1t was best to admit to the
discovery.
Come down, boys; come down" he
cried, cheerfully. 81 tell you we have
made the greatest strike in the world.
Look at the work of few hours"
George, are there more good
claims?"
Plenty of them. Let us all set to
work, stake out the best and get the
very cream before the world finds it
out. Lattimer here put me onto this;
he got it from the Indians"
This was the discovery Of the great
gold fields in the Klondyke. Lucky
George got the tip from Lattimer, the
white man with an Indian wife, and
had determined to work it alone II he
could do so. but now that his friends
had found him, he decided to make
the most of it and divide.
The others were sent for, and
claims for all staked out
Next morning with the dawn of
day Paul began to work his claim.
From the first shoverful of earth, he
began to take out gold. His PICK
seemed attracted to the largest mug
gets, and his pan was always rich in
ore. He washed out thousand dol
lars worth of dust and nuggets to
the pan. He forgot breakfast, lunch
or dinner. but toiled on. The small
moose-skin bags were quickly filed,
and then he poured the renewed accu-
mutation into water bucket. His
eyes cleaned with the fire of the in.
sane, and in his mind he saw only
the faces of sweetheart and mother
and took no thought of rest. health
or the danger which his accumula.
ton brought him.
There was danger lowering over the
happy youth. His claim was some
others, and one day, as he was toll,
ing and heaping up the golden treas
ure, two pairs of fierce, avaricious
eyes glared at him from the dense
foliage of pines. They watched him
a long time as he toiled, and then
exchanged knowing looks, winks and
smiles, which said:
Let the fool toll on. When he has
taken his thousands from the earth
we will have it."
After the first few days he stopped
long enough to eat and sleep a few
hours at time, dreaming of home
and of making loved ones there happy
Little did he dream that a storm
cloud was gathering over the loved
ones at home and another over his
own head. threatening to ruin him
self and all most dear to his heart.
