PARKS VERSUS BUCHANAN

Be Fought Out on
That Line.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 24.-After

vention of the international Associa-
ton of Fridge and Structural Iron
Workers at night voted in favor of
seating Sam Parks and the other dele

cided at meeting here to withdraw
from the international Association Of
Structural Iron and Bridge Workers
in the event of the continued domin~
ance of Samuel Parks, the New York
walking delegate, in the annual CON-
vention now being held here.
The injection of Parks and his inf1u-
ence has SO shaped affairs that the
New York walking delegate is an is

to fight it out on that line by again
attempting there-election of Buchanan.

Arab Lying.

The following Characterization of the
Arab penchant for not telling the truth
is from q paper by DR.. G. Saint-Paul
on the Tunisians: "Arab lying is ex-
asperating 1t is absurd and victorious.
1t triumphs easily over the critical
sense and the habit of scientific rea
soning. 1t is sometimes childish Your
native servants will never be taken
unawares. You forbid one of them to
smoke in your dining room and you
surprise him there with a cigarette in
his mouth. You were smoking. No
L saw you Impossible You had a
cigarette in your mouth; you are hid
ing it in your hand; there it isl Then
God put it in my hand The native
denies always. Taken red handed he
denies. Beneath blows he denies.
Pain is sometimes powerless to make
him confess, even at the point of death.
This obstinacy is due in part to the
high idea he has of his dignity. His
pride forbids him a confession, be-
cause the avowal Of his lying is in
finitely humiliating in his eyes. The
fear of losing face is all powerful in
him. To recognize a fault is more
shameful than to have committed it.
Hence the peculiar obstinacy of the
native in denying, even when it would
be to his interest to confess, an OBJ
stinacy not manifested in other ways"

Canine Intelligence.

A native of Peru has vouched for
the following: A native pointed out
one day huge white dog that lay be-
fore his wattled house. He declared
that his dog had intelligence of an al
most human order. He said that once,
when it had broken bone in it's foot,
he had taken it to a surgeon and the
surgeon had set the fracture and re-
lieved it of it's pain. Some months aft
erward, in the middle of the night, the
surgeon was awakened by great
scratching at his door and by thump-
ing as Of some heavy body. He slipped
on a dressing gown and went down, to
find the white dog in his garden with
a brown dog beside it that held one
leg off the ground. The surgeons de-
duction was that the white dog had
brought its companion there for treat
ment. Accordingly he dressed the leg
Of the injured animal, and thereupOn
the two dogs licked his hands with an
air of gratitude and departed slowly
into the night side by side.

act of holding up two men, a bold
highwayman opened fire on 70

Information just received develops
that the officials of the Algoma Central
have refused to send a train for the
more than 400 men who are in the
lumber camps of the company. The
men in the camps have been made
aware Of this decision by their friends
in town, and the whole body of men
is now marching into town. The gray

This infiammable matter added to that

sequences to the town unless the disor

The mass meeting of the men held
in the"White House" was unexpectedly
quiet and orderly. The meeting broke
up without any particular confusion

a body of the rioters to cross the river

On account of this rumOr the local

The Way to Float.

This is the advice of an old swimmer
to those who cannot swim: amy hui
man being who will have the presence
of mind to clasp the hands behind his
back and turn the face toward the
zenith may float at ease and in perfect
safety in tolerably still water. When
you first find yourself in deep water
you have only to consider yourself an
empty pitcher. Let your mouth and
nose, and not the top of your heavy
head, be the highest part Of you and
you are safe. But thrust up one Of
your bony hands and down you go
turning up the handle tips over the
pitcher" There are reason and logic
in this.

Tolerance.

Tolerance is calm, generous respect
for the opinions of others, even of ones
enemies. Tolerance is silent justice
blended with sympathy. Tolerance al
ways implies wisdom and kindness. 1t
seeks to convert others from error by
gently raising them to higher ordeals,
by leading them to broader lines Of
thinking, by patiently helping them to
help themselves. Tolerance does not
use the battering ram Of argument or
the club of sarcasm or the rapier Of
ridicule.-Selected.

Mob Threatens to Attack the Police Head
quarters, Which Is Guarded.


Provisions were sent there to feed
them and the men held mass meet
ing at the place. AS their leaders
made the most inflammable sort Of
speeches grave fears are entertained
for the outcome. An attempt was made
to put the street car system in the
Canadian 500, which suspended opera
tiOrS in the morning after an attack
had been made upon it, into operation
again. Two cars were sent out heavi-
ly guarded. Inasmuch as most of the
rioters We're not in the streets at the
time this trial was made no disorder
occurred
1t is estimated that there are 1000
men in the 500, and these are rein
forced by all the idle rabble in town.
A train carrying 400 more woodmen is
expected to arrive. The local police
force is being strengthened by the al,
dition of all the deputies who can be
found, each man being given a badge
and a revolver and ordered to use
the latter whenever necessary.
Considerable feeling has been
aroused over the shooting Of tive
Frenchmen by the police during the

allege that the officers used their re-

Neither Of the men is fatally hurt,
however. The mob threatens an attack
upon police headquarters with view
Of effecting the release of all the men
who have been arrested. Both this
building and that occupied by the fire
department is guarded against attack.
The problem the developments has
created is beyond the solution of any
of the company officials on the ground.
Apparently their only hope is that the
anger Of the mob will spend itself and
that the men will get out Of town by
degrees. The cause of the riot is that
the company is in the hands of re-
ceiver. and the men have not been paid
their wages. although discharged

THE VINE ON THE SPOUT.

Deep In the heart of the city,
She washes and irons all day:
Her tired old hands are shaky and thin,
And her hair once yellow, Is gray.
She stands near a W window to labor.
And every few moments looks out
And murmurs: You're mine,' to the small,
sickly vine
That's climbing the old water spout
She waters it well in the twilight,
And tenderIy touches the leaves
AS they nod in the zephyrs that sometimes
get lost
So far from the grass and the trees.
She knows every tendril it carries,
Each bud is a care, without doubt,
For she loves-with a love that is sent from
That vine on the old water spout.
She is wrinkled and ragged and tired.
Her children have left her, know.
To fight the battle of life once again
She fought it for them long ago.
F'riendless alone. uncherished,
Her mother-lova will not die out.
SO she croons an old tune, all the long a1t-
ernoon,
To the vine on the old water spout
IT may be the world doesn't need her,
1t may be the world doesn't care
For the old lonely soul whose eyes are so
DIM
Whose voice is as thin as her hair.
1t may be the world has forgotten
And yet haven't doubt
God planted that seed-for He saw there
was need
For the vine on the old water spout!

day in July, he was destined to ex-

had row disappeared behind the
clouds and the heat was intense. Like
consuming tongues of flames the hot
desert wind came in gusts while the
seething waves tossed and roared as
they broke upon the rocky coast. Just

blocks on the shore.

kiss upon her cheek. Then while this
wild desire was still raging in his
breast, he ran towards the toll house.
Under the tower he met his hated
enemy, whom he attacked like an en-
ragged tiger and plunged the dagger
into his heart before he had time even
to utter his ''Ave Maria" AS the peo-
pie came running towards him, he
plunged into the rough sea. Risang and
falling with the surge, he battled with
desperation against the overpowering
waves. Once more he was seen among
the foaming breakers, then disap-
peared forever in the depths of the
sea. Mingling with the bowling wind
could be heard the despairing cry of
