DEPUTY SHOOTS
STRIKING MINER
QUARREL WITH MOB ENDS F.A-
TALLY.
Only ONE SHOT is FIRED
Five Deputies Meet Mine Workers,
Who Try to Persuade Them not to
Go to CoIIiery-SquabbIe Ensues,
in Which Miner Is kIIed-Deputy
Is Arrested.

Nesquehoning, Pa, Aug. 19.-In a
clash between the striking mine work
ers and deputies here last night, Pat
rick Sharp, a striker of Lansford, was
shot and killed almost instantly by a
deputy. The shooting caused consid-
cradle excitement for time, but order
was restored without any other per-
sons being injured and the town is
now quiet. Deputy McElmeyle was ar
rested, charged with killing Sharp,
and taken to jail at Mauch Chunk.
Five deputies on the way to Lehigh
company's colliery were met by strik-
ers who tried to persuade them not to
go to the colliery. They continued on
their way and the strikers, it is said
began abusing them. There are con-
hlctlng stories as to what actually
brought on the clash, but just before
the deputies entered the colliery a
shot was heard and Sharp dropped,
dying almost instantly. Witnesses say
the shooting was done by McElmoyle,
and that he stood only six or seven
feet from Sharp when ne fired his re
volver. Only one shot was fired.
The deputies Immediately withdrew
to the colliery and a crowd gathered.
When it was learned that Sharp was
dead there was the greatest indigna-
ton among the strikers and towns
people, and for time it looked as
though serious trouble would follow
But the crowd was finally induced to
disperse. McElmoyle's arrest followed.

THE BLAZED TREE.

In running a line or establishing
bounds through forest the surveyor
blazes in this manner; if the line
goes to the left of tree is designed to
be blazed, the tree is blazed upon
the right side; if to the right the tree
is blazed upon the left side; if the
line strikes the tree plump" it is
blazed upon both the front and the
rear sides. In running a boundary
line at a corner where two lines come
together either monument is erect
ed-a stake and four boulders being
usually regarded as such monument
or tree is blazed on all four sides,
or, as is sometimes the case, three or
four trees are SCARED so as to indicate
as nearly as possible the turning point
in the line, or, in other words, its
corner, around which they grow. In
this State the surveyor registers the
distance from one of these posts or
monuments at every even mile, there
by establishing his line with absolute
certainty at that point and giving
secondary basis of the written descrip-
tion of the boundary required in title
deeds and abstracts of claims.
The permanency of the record
made by blazing trees is quite re-
markable, and it is matter of fact
that in many cases of disputed lines
or boundaries of lots in forest land,
the courts have held the record of
the blazes where carefully drawn
plans and formally attested title deeds
have been set aside as containing pos
sible errors. The wound Of the blaz-
ed tree heals over, but never so COM
pletely that the scar will not be read
lily recognized by the experienced
woodsman. Therefore, so long as
the blazed tree escapes the axe of the
1unberman, so long such teee is an
ineffaceable record to the truth of the
line. The surveyors recorded fig
ures may be in error, and his written
description may not coincide with
the line he has traced on the tree
trunks with his hatchet, but blazes
are unchanging, and in court of
law they are indisputable evidence.
They cannot be made to lie, no cross
examination can confuse them, no ar
gument can confute them, they fix
dates as accurately as they preserve
inscriptions. The outer shell which
has grown over the scar is sawed
away and the rings in the wood be-
meath the bark testify to the date.
The whole subject is most inter
esting. Whether taken as an early
landmark in the history of the State
before roads were common, as estab-
fishing bounds of farms, or settling
disputed points in town or great-1ot
lines in cases before courts, the blaz-
ed tree is factor of historic and legal
Importance that can hardly be overes-
imated.-Bamg0r (Me. } Commercial.

WHEN A JOKE Is NOT A JOKE.

Many young man loves to joke,
and finds it not little difficult to
know when a joke is seasonable or
unreasonable, when it will meet with
laughing response, or make him an
enemy for life.
The one thing to be considered be-
fore letting ones spirits run away
with one, and embarking on joke of
any kind, is to consider whether it
be a joke that is harmless in its char
acter or not, and then to see whether
it is in good or bad taste.
joke is no joke if it gives pain or
discomfort to anyone, and it becomes
deliberate insult when it causes
blush to rise on young girls cheek,
or brings the flush of hurt feeling on
the faces of those whom one ought to
honor.
The fact is, it is better to refrain
from joking, except with those of
your own age and standing, who will
understand the drift of your mind
and wit.
Practical jokes of all kinds are, as
a rule, vulgar and inadmissible after
a very early age. Grown up men Of
good birth do not in this century,
when good manners count for much,
60 about like the characters in eyer
dant Green" playing jokes of most
unpleasant character on all their
friends. A good joke which is harm
less in its tendency is often amusing,
and makes pleasant break in the
dull routine of a country party but
a joke that causes personal discom-
fort, or, worse still, mental trouble,
is to be avoided for the sake of those
you call your friends, and for your
self for jokes more often than not
bring disgrace and ruin on the per-
petrator of them.

SENATORS NOT 80 RICH.

The classic Characterization of the
United States Senate as million
aires club" has led the New York
.Sun to probe the position and turn
the X.rays on it.
1t would appear that the impression
that the senate is a body of rich men
must be consigned to the category Of
myths. There are now in the senate
only 88 senators, as Delaware is with
out representation as penalty for re-
fusing to elect a millionaire. Out of
these 88 there are by count only II
men who are worth 81 900, 900 or
more. These, in order, are: Clark,
of Montana, Kearns of Utah, Nc
MILAN of Michigan, Elkins of West
Virginia, Proctor of Vermont, AID
rich and Wetmore of Rhode Island,
Depew of New York, Hanna of Ohio
and Hale of Maine, and the lot foot
up only SOS, 900, 900.
The senators who are in the me-
dium class, or in only comfortable"
circumstances, that is those who have
incomes outside their salaries, num-
Der 33; while the remaining 43, or
nearly half are classed as "poor," f"
that is they have no income but their
salary. 1t is maintained that the
proportion of rich men in the senate
today is no greater than it was 10 or
20 years ago, and that, therefore, the
tendency is not specially to elect rich
men.
On the other hand men who are
we'll off have a better chance than
poor men to get into the senate for it
is we'll known that the salary SIS, 900
year, liberal as it appears to many
people, does not go far toward en-
abling senator to represent his state
in liberal way, and poor men in pub
lie life are subjected to many annoy
ances and sacrifices.
But the rich men as rule are not
as such influential in the senate.
Aldrich, the chairman of the finance
committee, is millionaire, but he
owes his position to the fact that he
is the most prominent tariff expert
and fnancier in the senate. Hoar,
the chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee, and one of the most influential
men in the senate, is nortoriously
poor man and Allison, of the ap-
propriations committee, is by no
means we'll off. Other senators who
are poor but who rank high as states
men are Beveridge, Blackburn, Cock
rell, Cullom, Daniel, Frye, Hawley,
Morgan, Platt of Connecticut, Raw
Inns and Vest. Even Mr.. Money is
not rich, despite his name.

WANTED TO KNOW.

When ex-senator Edward 0. VOL
colt, of Colorado, was a poor, strug-
Cling lawyer in the mining regions he
and his brother established law and
real estate Office in Georgetown, Colo.
Henry Wolcott ran the real estate
business and did fairly well, but there
was nothing doing in the law and the
ex-senator became discouraged and
decided to move to an adjoining camp
where a silver lead had been struck.
He packed his belongings on a dom
key. Just as he was leaving he re-
membered his first sign, reading ED
Wolcott & Brother" F."
"You don't want the sign, do you,
Henry?" asked the ex-senator.
"No, Ed, take it along" replied
Henry.
Edward packed the sign on the
donkey and arrived at the new min
ing camp the next afternoon about
dusk. The miners came up and look
ed him over. One of them read the
sign strapped on the donkey's back
and asked:
(Which of you all is Ed?"

WHY WE EAT SOME FOODS.

Why do you take milk in your tea?
Most people would answer because
they liked it that way, but the scien-
lists have found a deeper reason,
placing the custom on purely scientif-
ic grounds. These learned ones dis
course as follows We use sugar in
Our tea to prevent injury to the coat
ings of our stomachs. Whenever tan
mic acid and albumen meet, they fall
desperately in love with each other,
get married without bans and live to-
gether ever afterward as tannate of
albumen, or leather. Now there is
tannic acid in tea and a lot of albu-
men in the coating of the stomach.
The tannic acid weds as much of this
as is allowed by the laws of chemistry
and so far Injuries the stomach, says
the New York Press.
But milk also contains albumen.
When milk is added to tea, therefore,
the molecules of tannic acid select
their albumen partners from it, and
as divorce is unknown to tannate of
albumen the albumen of the stomach
remains single, and the lining of the
stomach is uninjured.
Now you may imagine that when
you mix salad dressing you put vim
egar in it because it tastes better
made that way, but you are wrong
again. 1t is for a chemical reason,
which is as follows:
Raw vegetables are easily enough
digested by cows and horses, but
with difficulty by the human stomach,
because they contain that hard, fib-
rous substance, cellulose. But acids
dissolve cellulose and vinegar is an
acid. That is why we take it with
salad and cabbage, and doubtless that
is why it tastes so we'll, for the pal
ate is an excellent judge of what is
good for the stomach. Oil is added
for the very good reason that it pro-
tects the lining of the stomach from
the action Of the acid in the vinegar.
Why do we take butter on bread?
Partly because wheaton -four does
not contain enough fat, and partly
because butter contains a trihing
quantity of substances called Eek
tractives," which in some unknown
way stimulate the appetite and aid
digestion.
Why do we take pepper, mustard
and spices? Because they tickle the
glands of the stomach and make them
work. Consequently, they produce
an abundant supply of digestive
juices. They also stir up the liver,
and stirring up of this organ is an
important thing for people who live
sedentary lives.
Why do we put salt on our meat
Why, there are two principal salts in
Our body, and their supply has to be
kept up. They are sodium salts and
potassium salts. There is sufficient
of the latter in the food we eat, but
not of the former. We therefore
have to add sodium salts in the form
of common salt, which is sodium
chloride. Another reason why we
eat common salt is that certain
amount of hydrochloric acid is need
ed by the stomach for the purposes Of
digestion and also to kill off some Of
the microbes we swallow. This acid
is manufactured in the stomach from
hydrogen and chloride of common
salt. We take more salt with some
meats than with others, because some
naturally contain less salts than 9TH
ers. So by our condiments we seek
to even up things.

THE 0LD-FAsHIoNED BOY.

Oh, for glimpse of a natural boy
boy with freckled face,
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid of grace.
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows flare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns as red as lobster when
You give him word of praise.
A boy who's born with an appetite,
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his piece" with resounding smack
Who isn't gone on himself.
A Robinson Crusoe" reading boy,
Whose pockets bulge with trash;
Who knows the use of rod and gun,
And where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair,
With his hat on his tousled head;
That his hands and feet are everywhere,
For youth must have room to spread.
But he doesn't dub his father "old man."
Nor deny his mothers call,
Nor ridicule what his elders say,
Or think that he knows it all.
A rough and wholesome natural boy
OF good old-fashioned clay;
God bless him, If he's still on earth,
For he'll make man some day.
