oyright. 1851, by Edwin ]. Webster

Thomas Stevenson, better known as
Tommy, left college with a fair knowI-
edge Of mechanical engineering and a
disposition to meet life good naturedly.
Incidentally Tommy carried away a
well developed set Of muscles and left
behind him the reputation of being
the surest tackler that had played on
the university eleven.
The head coach measured every
mans worth by his ability to play
football.
'eTommy will never be great play
er," he said regretfully. He's too slow
in his running. But he certainly is the
hardest tackler ever met. It's my be-
lief Tommy would jar freight engine
if he made good plunge at it,
After Tommy's graduation his uncle
offered him position at the Walnut
mines. - ss:s
ut will do the boy good" said the
uncle, land knock some Of the college
nonsense out Of him. j3s
Tommy was far from regarding his
college education as nonsense, but he
was anxious to get a practical knowl-
edge of mining, SO he accepted the po-
sition without discussing with his I'M
Gle the value Of a collegiate training.
His principal duties at the mine We're
to keep track of the time the men
worked and the number Of tons Of coal
brought out of the NINE This was not
exactly the work Tommy had looked
forward to while in college, but he &C.
cepted the situation philosophically.
II want to find out all about the bust
ness" thought Tommy cheerfully, "and
the best way is to get what can out
Of the job I'm on. Something better
will turn up LATER - ="
Because he was big and good ma
tured and free from egotism everybody
at the mines liked Tommy. 1t was one
Of the boasts Of the Walnut mine OWL
ers that they had never had strike.
When the miners in the Quincy mines
across the river went out, the Walnut
miners refused to join them, so one
morning deputation was sent over to
rouse sympathetic strike. The strik-
ers' deputation was led by big Bi1''
Tomlinson. Bill was over six feet tall,
weighed $50 pounds and had the repu-
tation Of being the best boxer and
wrestler in that district. Unless he had
been drinking, however, Bill was good
natured and not given to abusing his
strength. On this particular morning
Bill had felt that his position as the
leader Of the strikers called on him to

pound him there WIS no Uee Ia feeling
bad before he was hurt No passes,
no entrance, is the rule Of thin gRma' z
Rilrs temper was now fully aroused.
Should he, the header OF the atrfk ers,
be thwarted by a young fellow inst ont
of college? From the door t0 the spot
where Tommy WIS standing was about
twenty feet, and Bill came for ward
with rush.
As Tommy saw the big miner rush
Ing Ct him there flashed through HIS
mind the memory OF November affer
noon when the Yale center rush had
broken through the line and, bah under
his arm, was plunging toward the
goal Tommy's tackle had saved the
day then. Perhaps # would work
again. 5 n s4s5
Low and hard Is the word, 4 I.
thought Tommy, and, setting his teeth
and gathering every muscle in his body
for the spring, he plunged forward
The beauty about a skillfully execut-
ed football tackle is that the harder
the other man is coming forward the
more violently he is thrown. Bill had
plunged forward with all the force of
every ounce Of muscle in his big body.
Tommy caught him just above the
knees and threw little twist into the
tackle. It had taken the head coach
weeks to teach Tommy that twist. In
the end he had learned it thoroughly.
Bill was hurled through the air and
came down with heavy jar partly on
his left shoulder and partly on his
head. Tommy exuicated himself and
stood ready to meet the rush Of strik-
ers which he thought was coming.
Bill stayed on the floor. s..sss 52sl
But the rush OF strikers didn't come.
Instead they stared in open mouthed
amazement first at Tommy, who was
standing with the blood running from
little cut on his lip and cheerful,
expectant look on his face, and then at
the PROSTATE Bill One Of the miners
gave little chuckle.
"Did you see the way the kid threw
Bill?' he said admiringly. tHe certain
~ is a winner @ IS
Bill rose to his feet slowly and pain
fully, with look on his face not of an
ger, but Of utter surprise Tommy
stood alert, not looking For trouble, but
ready to meet it if it came But Bills
intentions were peaceable. He extend
ed his hand to Tommy, gazing at him
with new found respect. ..,
t'Shake hands, Tommy" said he.
TITS all right about the mine. I don't
believe any Of us want to go down to-
day. 1t might not be healthy. But,
Tommy he added, "they certainly did
learn you more in your school than
readin', writin' and fgurin'.'' IS d. B.
And Bill and his followers trudged
peacefully away from the Walnut
mines. .sa#s Ey.sf. ...>& ., I.;<
Tommy related the incident to his
uncle that evening. The latter was in
dignant at the audacity Of the strikers
In daring to interfere with his mines. M
Some one ought to complain to the:
police" .s. =
. II don't believe I shall" replied Tom
my thoughtfully. IT can't see that i
have anything to complain Of. And
Bill, while not exactly content, seemed
fully satisfied"

In the Wrong Shop,

- ss3 5a1 -
An Individual who from his clothes
and the dinner pail which he carried
appeared to be a laboring man recent
" walked into drugstore in Eleventh
avenue and requested to be given a
marriage license.
You'll have to go to the city hall to
get that, said the druggist.

good here? I'm in q hurry too. Z SIS

sr,ense, s answered the drugstore man.
Veil, I was told / could get one
here sure, and that justice wont mar
sry me without license, n n angrily
snapped the fellow as he walked out.
The druggist said that people often
came IN with requests that would

BILL CAME DOWN WITH A HEAVY JAR.
take few drinks. He was not intoxi-
Gated, but his rotations had greatly in
creased his sense Of his own dignity.
When the strikers arrived, Tommy
was sitting alone in the Office at the
entrance to the mines. Tommy knew.
Bill by sight. -.-.
"Hello," said Tommy cheerily.
"What's up this moruingY' Z g|.=.
'We're from the Quincy mines," an
swered Bill, speaking slowly and with
an attempt at impressiveness. "You
know we are on strike, and we have
been sent over as a committee to see
your men and get them to join us.
We're goin' down in the mines and
have a talk with them" g. !
tits against the rules for any one to
go in the mines without pass from
the superintendent" objected Tommy.
RULES! Rulesv' Numbered Bill, his
voice and temper rising. What do we
care for rules? We're goin' in the
mine, and we're goin' now too"
Tommy was perplexed. In a drawer
Of his desk lay revolver meant for
use in such emergencies, but Tommy
didn't want to use it. Bill wasn't a
bad sort of fellow at heart, and he had
family depending upon him. More
over, Tommy felt a healthy young ath-
lete's aversion to the use Of deadly
weapons. One thing was certain, no
one was going down that mine without
permission while he. Thomas Steven
son. had any breath in his body.
why don't you apply at the super
intendent's office?' he asked, deter
nined to delay the crisis as long as
possible. Maybe he would let you
have the passes
Maybe he would telephone for the
police sneered Bill. No, young fell
low, don't give us any steer Of that
sort. We haven't anything against
you and don't want to hurt you, but
we're goin' down the mine and goin'
right now
Guess again, = replied Tommy, with
slangy cheerfulness. Even IL they did

J0sLIN FAIR TO CONTINUE
SAYS ASSOCIATION DIRECTOR

1--WE will continue to hold the JOS
lin fair as long as we have dollar IN
our treasury" said a director of the
fair association in reply to mention
OF some of the rumors afioat that the
association is on the verge of finan
cial collapse. The report was out
that the association directors were
discouraged and that the fair loca-
ton would be in one of the twin
cities or on Campbell's island.
The last fair was not a success
financially" continued the director
yet there is still a satisfactory bal
ance on the right side. Some people
not content without they are
knocking are responsible for the re
ports, and they say the fair this year
was not up To former standards.
Yet there was a great number OF
entries and greater sum in premi
ums than ever before. In spite of the
weather. Floral hall was filled to its
capacity; the race entries We're of Il
higher class than former years. We
are improving the track every year,
and we expect the Joslin fair TO con
tinue year after wear with ever-in-
creasing success

Do Good-It Paws.

A Chicago man has observed that,
Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worth
less. Act kindly and gently, show
sympathy and lend helping hand.
You cannot possibly lose by it," Most
men appreciate q kind word and en-
enlargement more than SUBSTANTIAL
help. There are persons in this COM
munity who will truthfully say: MY
good friend, cheer up. A few doses
of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy will rid you of your cold, and
there is no danger whatever from
pneumonia when you use that medi-
cine. 1t always cures. 1 know it for
it has helped me out many a time. =

Berlin, Oct. 16.-PruSsia is deter
mined to acquire six of the principal
railroads remaining in private hands.
The first is the East Prussian South
ern, the second the Marienburg Mlaw-
ka. the third the Altdam- Kolberg, the
fourth the Stargard- Kuestrain. the
fifth the Kiel-Flensburg. and the sixth
the BreaSla Warsaw. the whole
amounting to 55S miles. with $19.25O.-
600 capital. for which the government
has offered IL somewhat larger sum.
The effect of the announcement on the
boerse was to raise the quotations of
some of the common stocks and to de-
press others.
Preferred stock Goes Up
But the preferred stocks rose within
a fraction of the governments offer. 1t
seems certain that the propositions
will be accepted in every instance.
Only two important private lines are
not incIudedin the government scheme
the -Grenau and the
Lubbock Buesnen roads. The govern
ment plan, which came as complete
surprise to the country. is one of the
first energetic steps of the new rail-
road minister. Herr Budde. who is
credited with the ambition to inau-
gurate a new era in Prussian rail
roads
