perhaps its origin is not so generally
known. Cocked-hat was a variety of

pins were used, set up at the angles Of
a triangle When, in bowling ten pins,
all were knocked down, except the
three at the corners, the set was said
to be knocked into cocked-hat, "

A wasp comes into an clubhouse
through bit of a hole in a cracked
pane of glass. He goes straight to a
place on the wall where he has
started his house. He has brought
mud and directly there is a hum as
from spinning wheel as he spins a
section on a fresh layer. The wall OF
the clubhouse is the foundation he
builds upon. He starts his house from
the peak of his roof and builds down
ward with layer aftor layer of finely
moulded waXy mud. There is a pair
of them. AS soon as one has laid on
the plaster he has brought the other is
there with more. They bring and spin
so busily that the wall Of their house is
finished late in the morning of the
third day. The house now has a gall
lery that runs it's length from peak OF
roof to open door at bottom.
Some wasps make short, stubby,
homely houses, of coarse, dark mud
But this earthen house that rests high
uP on the wall of the clubhouse, like a
long, slender finger, is beautiful. 1t is
made of fine clay. It's color is light
and delicate. 1t is grooved through all
its length as each cordlike layer of
plaster has left it's ridge
Early on the morning of the fourth
day the wall of the wasps house is
dry and the busy pair are at work
The long gallery mus be stocked with

each wasp brings a spider. The spid-
ers are either dead of stunned. They
are carried to the upper end Of the gal
lery. Now one wasp must remain
within the house to keep the spiders in
place, while the other goes for more.
He brings another, and another, until
there are six plump spiders packed
away. The next trip is for plaster. He
brings it; enters his house and you
hear him spin. The spinning stops
Out pops the mother wasp long enough
to let the spinner pass, then pops in
again.
The spinner goes and comes and
spins, goes and comes and spins, until
his strand of plaster has become a
double coil. This coil forms a close
partition, except a small hole left in
the middle. Now, through this hole,
the mother sends up in the chamber one
tiny, slender, white egg, she is careful
to fasten the egg to the body of a
spider. The spinner seals the hole in
the partition with a stopple Of plaster,
and the first room is furnished and fin
ished Two more days, two more
rooms, and this house is full and the
door is closed. But more houses are
to be added to this one. Day after
day week after week, the wasps are
busy When all is done there rests on
the wall beautiful cluster Of six slen-
der earthen houses. Each house is
of three rooms. In each room siz
spiders have been packed-more than
six if not full grown. In each room

MITCHELL CREDITS MORGAN.
For Having Tried To Settle The
Coal Strike.
BEGAN TWO MONTHS AGO.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 21.-What is
probably the last full week of the an
thracite coal strike closed without anv-
thing developing to change the peaceful
trend of events. It was quiet day at
headquarters and busy one in the
district and subdistrict headquarters
throughout the entire coal fields. on
account of the election of delegates to
the Will1esbarre gathering.
Probably the most difficult question
which will come before the convention
is the one relative to strikers securing
their old places. Many of the miners
want the convention to withhold ac-
ceptance of the arbitration plan until
the union is assured that the strikers
will be re-employed in their former
places.
President Mitchell was asked what
he knew of the report that J. Pierpont
Morgan was forced to intervene in the
coal strike and in reply he said:
ITO my personal knowledge Mr..
Morgan has been trying to settle the
coal strike since he came back from
Europe two months ago. If others had
been as fair and reasonable as Mr..
Morgan was, the strike would have
been settled long time ago. know
nothing about Mr.. Morgan's financial
interests compelling him to seek set
Element of the strike, but am inform
ed that he has keenly felt his response
bility to the public in connection with
the fuel famine, and has done his best
to bring about the end. Both Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Cassett, of the Penn
sylvania railroad, were working for a
settlement when President Roosevelt
made his last and successful move Mr..
Morgan could not very well be forced
to do something which he had been
trying to accomplish for several weeks.

Mr.. Morgan. We have had no quarrel
with him and we wish none. We do
not fear him, but prefer his friendship
if he is willing to give it to us. am
creditably informed that he is friendly
to organized labor. AS All organizer of
capital, he comedies the right of labor
to organize also, and, when labor
organizations are fair and conservative,
he believes in dealing directly with
them for the advantage of both en-
ployer and employee. It is this relation

seek in the anthracite field, and we in

in securing a permanent and scientific

Colonel Randlet, U. s. A., in charge of
the kiowa Indian reservation In Okla
homa in his annual report to the COM
missioner of Indian affairs vigorously

THAT the time has come when the
righteous should, in praying for the

having developed as allies of grating
attorneys who seem bent on robbing
the Indians of the magnaminous pro-
visions made for them by by the act of
congress of June 8, 1900. This has en-
couraged the constant demand of
legislators and congress that the pos
sessions of the Indians of this agency
be taken from them and has engend-
cred the want of confidence and distrust
which is disturbing the minds of the
Indians, who have raised the question,
What calamity have we to expect?''
