jected by the strikers, and the committee
OF the journeymen which has been confer
ring with the employers in joint meeting
was dissolved. The master plasterers have
decided. 1t is said, that they will make no
1urther overtures. This is said to be the
sentiment, without a single exception of
every member of the Master Plasterers' AS
soclation of this city. The strikers as stat
ed above. have taken a similar position and
assert that they are out to win. 1t is un-
derstood that the members of the Master
PlaStererS Associa ton are considering the
adVlSability of importing wOrkmen from
other cities throughout the United States
to take the places of the strikers.
A member of the association intimate
to Star reporter that. although the ass0-
citation is not deSirOus of reSorting to such
stringent measures. and does not care to
be antagonistic to the journeymens organi-
zation, they are being pushed to a point
where they must seek to defend themselves
by taking radical action.
Sanctioned by Master Builders.
The attitude of the master plasterers in
the dispute has the unqualified sanction
of the Master Builders Association Of this
city. At a meeting of that association last
evening resolutions were adopted in ad-
vocacy of the solution of labor disputes by
the local board of arbitration and in de-
nunciation Of the striking plasterers The
ihdSter puliuefS 'oteu the support OF the
body to the master plasterers and assured
them that that association would do every
thing in Its power resist the demand of
the strikers. The striking journeymen are
not affiliated with the local Central Labor
Union. and for this reason cannot be COM
PEELED to comply with the terms OF the
agreement which established the board of
arbitration.

THE RAIN DWARFS.

Did you ever watch the rain as 1t

you do so the next time there is a

strikes the sidewalk the force of its
fall makes it rebound and when it does

Freddie put on his raincoat, his rub
Der cap and boots, and went out to

the rain dwarfs. There was a nice,
quiet place in his own yard where
there was a sidewalk that went di-

die sat down in the hammock, and
looked for rain dwarfs.
At first he was very much disap

1t was a hot summer afternoon ana
everything was very quiet, and after
a time Red Moon lay down with his
hands under his head and closed MS
eyes. In al few minutes he was asleep
and l took the gun and tiptoed away
so as not to disturb him. l did not
intend to shoot at anything, and
cannot tell you why l took the rife,
but it was a good thing that l did.

stand it, he fell over cliff in the
mountains while hunting and broke
his leg in three places. He lay where
he fell for three days before being
found. An Indian doctor set the
broken leg. but made poor job of it,
and though Red Moon got well he
was a bad cripple. He had such an
awkward way of walking that the wo-
men and children could not help but
laugh at him, and this hurt his feel
ings so much that he seldom left his
wigwam. One afternoon, to my great
surprise, he made signs that l should
accompany him to the grove. Most of
the warriors were away hunting buff
faloes. and many of the women and
children were fishing or bathing in the
creek. He had a rife of his own, of
which he was very fond and took the
greatest care, and it was always load
ed and within reach of his hand.
AS l followed my master into the
grove l carried the rifle on my Shout
der, and when we finally sat down he
took it from me and looked around for
something to shoot. There was now
and then a rabbit or a gopher moving
about and a few birds were flying
from tree to tree. He fired and killed
a rabbit and a bird, and he was so
pleased that l saw a smile on his face
for the first time. Then l understood
why he had brought the rifle. He
wanted to see if he was growing too
old to shoot. When he found that his
aim was as true as ever he felt so
good over it that he laid his hand on
my shoulder and kept it there for five
minutes.

Red Moon. 1t was only when he rose
uD on his knees that I saw a long
knife in his hand, and it came to me
like flash that he was an enemy
and intended to kill the old Indian.
What l did was done without my
hardly knowing it. 1 reached for the
gun, rose to my feet, and as the
strange Indian raised his knife to
plunge it into Red Moons heart
took quick aim and fired. 1 was not
used to shooting with a rifle. and this
one was so heavy that l could hardly
lift it, and so it was a piece of good
luck that my bullet crashed into the
Indians head. When he fell he lay
right on Red Moons breast. 1 dropped
the rifle and ran forward, and for
minute there was excitement enough.
My master awoke with a yell, and It
was some little time before he could
throw the dead man off and reach
his feet When he did he was shaking
like leaf, and he asked me so many
questions all at once that / could an

it was, however. There lay the dead

his arms around me and Rugged me

JOHN HENRY'S GIFT

When John Henry went to work
for Wall street concern he felt that
the ranks of the financial magnates
had been Importantly increased. All
the night before he had dreamed of
the piles of gold he was handling; the
crisp stock certificates and crisper
bank notes fresh from the sub-treas-
ury across the way.
He had but a hazy knowledge of
what was to be required of him. He
had been told to report in the morn
ing and his duties would be explained.
He walked into the office with an inn
portant air and marched up to the
gate in the wire screen which sepa-
rated the public from the clerks.
An ebert youth at a desk beside the
gate looked up.
