And many a bone to crack.

To giant killers, of proves great

Round the brave old days of Eight.
There We're trees and bushes outside the

Forming a jungle deep and dense;
There We're tempting, reckoning hands
galore
Over the high board fence.
And lions and tigers We're daily met
And slain with zeal immoderate-
Such stirring ventures the path beset
In the brave old days of Eight.
There We're pots of gold at the rainbow S

Only awaiting a spade, trow;
Almost to the sun could kite ascend

LIGHTNING AND FEATHERS.
The Demonstration That Cured n New
York Woman of Her Faith in
Beds and Pillows.

There is a woman in the Adirondacks
who no longer believes that feather
bed is a protection against lightning.
There was a time when she used to
feel safe in storm by crawling under
the bed or putting pillow on her head
Now she is without protection, and
simply sits in her chair and means I'M
til the lightning stops, says the New
York Tribune.
A New York woman who spent the
summer in the North Woods was one
of party who took refuge in her
humble home. They rushed in out of
binding storm without waiting to
knock. She was rocking herself back
and forth in chair and moaning as
hard as she knew how. She had her
apron over her head and tight grip on
the arms of the chair. After partic-
ularly brilliant flash one of the stran-
gers uttered a shrek and covered her
face with her handkerchief.
The mountain woman was all SYM
pathy, and asked: do you want a
feather pillero?"
"The lightning is awful" replied the
other, "but I'm hardly frightened
enough for that"
cts just as WELL" said the woman
of the house, again covering her head
with the apron. 81 used to have faith
in them things, but something hap
pened last week which drove it all
away"
"And what was that?" asked one Of
the party.
'Two of my ducks got hit by streak

But Barney piled the lash vigor-
ously and before the Colonel's com
panions were able to act on his
warning the carriage was beyond
them all and whirling it's passengers
rapidly away.
The road to Harmony led past the
depot, across the railroad tracks and
then bore off to the left.
| With fresh team and a good
start there is no doubt but that
Barney would have distanced his pur-
suers had not the road been unex-
pectedly blocked.
The noon train suddenly drew up
to the depot platform. 1t was a
long train and so completely OBJ
structed the way that there was no
getting around it without turning
squarely about and retraclng the
street for full block. Such a
move would have been disastrous,
for the pursuers were not more
than hundred yards behind. A yell
of triumph went up from the threats
of Col. Keever and his men.
Guy started at run for the scene.
Before he came anywhere near the
carriage, however, he saw Miss
Vlandingham and Miss Pinl1ney de-
scend from it and hurry to the train.
A brakeman helped them up to the
steps of the nearest car, signaled

Guy, in desperate earnest. "Talle my
word for it. An explanation would

your chances of escape. l have had
that carriage made ready for you.
Please get into it at once without
moments delay. AS soon as these men
find you are not at the hotel they will
go elsewhere to look for you"
''Who is the driver of the carriage"
asked Miss Betty, able to see only one
side of the vehicle through the narrow
door.
Barney said Guy; "a man whom
you can trust implicitly"
'Lois," said Miss Beatty, "get into
the carriage. 1 think we are mistaken
about Mr.. Herbert. Anyway, shall
stay here long enough to make sure"
Miss Pinl1ney left hurriedly and Miss
Betty again turned to Guy.
1T is too bad that the high opinions
we sometimes form of people On first
acquaintance should be overthrown,"
said she, "and was very much dis
appointed when forced to the conclu-
sion that you had told of our presence
here. Now tell me truly, Mr.. Her
bert, is not this little plan of yours
to get us to leave Concord without ac-
complishing the work that brought US
here?"
Great heavens, mol" cried Guy.
1T would have been very clever

ulace, send them rushing away on
wrong scent and thus make us glad of
the opportunity to avail ourselves of
the carriage which we refused this
morning. AS ruse it would have been
almost-Napoleonic."

Guy. 81 fancy I can hear your pur-
suers coming"
She bent her head listeningly.

ly. "Who wa. it told of us?'
"A man who will never again go

charged yesterday. I refused to pur-
chase his information, but Col
Keever paid for it and I heard what
he had to say. 1 have done what l

brought me here, so look out for

mony."
She flashed a bright smile at him
and was out of the building and into
the carriage before he could reach
her side and give her any assistance.
Barney used his whip and just as his
team started along the street toward
the railroad track Col. Keever and his
followers broke from the hotel and
raced back in the direction of the
Blizzard office.
Guy halted stock still and held his
breath. The carriage was upon the
men and almost past them before
any attention was paid to it. 1t was

efforts OF the government officials are
directed in supplementing the food

as to make them Immediately avail

tribution. Secretary Root has au-
thorized the officers of the commits
sary department at New York to pur-
chase any additional supplies that
may be necessary to supplement those
contributed by private persons for
shipment to the scene of the disas-
ter. Consequently private donations

result that the Sterling sailed from

hours from the time the appropria-
ton became available, and the Dixie

A. F. OF LIS ADVICE IGNORED?
Mitchell Rumored to Have Read Tel
egrams From Both. During a
Speech Advising Peace-A Majority
Voted to Strike.

Hazleton, Pa, May 16.-The anthra-
cite mine workers in convention late
yesterday afternoon decided to con
tinue the strike of the $4,000 men
against the mine owners and to fight
it out to the bitter end The matter
of calling out the engineers. fremen
and pump runners will be decided by
the delegates today. The vote to con-
tinue the suspension was as follows
Total vote cast, S11; for strike.
461A; against strike. 349a4 majority
for strike, 11115. President Mitchell,
however, in compliance with the rules
of the United Mine Workers, an.
nounced to the public that the action
Of the convention was unanimous.
While the leaders are cautious and
will not forecast their action, it is
not unlikely that the miners fight will
be carried into the bituminous coal
regions and into other fields of in.
dustry Mine workers for Is months
have been looking forward TO the
strike that is now upon them. They
have saved their money and are con.
sidered to be in better shape today
for fight than they were in the
great strike of 1900
President Mitchells advice to the
miners was peace, and he gave it to
them in the plainest and most force
fui of language. He was ably assist
ed by President Fahey and Secretary
Hartlein, of the lower district, and
Secretary Dempsey, of the upper ter.
ritory. President Nichols, of the first
district, was the great champion of
the strike advocates Mr.. Mitchell,
who was the last to speak, was lis
tened to with the greatest attention.
1t is said that during his Is minutes
address he read telegram from Sen
ator Hanna begging the men not to
declare for a strike at this time. as
the United States government had ot
would take hand in the matter by
investigating the legality of the al
legged community of interests of the
coal companies in the production of
hard coal. 1t is also said that a tele-
gram was read from the American
Federation Of Labor against a perma-
nent suspension. But a majority of
the delegates would not listen.

PRIMARY TOMORROW
Contest Is Free from Exciting Features
Although Rather Warm i'm Spots.

The Republican primary for this
county will be held to morrow.
There are few of the races which
have aroused any interest. Those in
which most interest is being taken
is that in relation to the county sup
erintendent of schools, the county
clerkship and the circuit clerkship.
Except for these the contests are
very mild
1t is not expected that full vote
will be polled and not a great deal of
interest is being taken in the affair.
