Salassi-were among the most pugna-
cious Of the Alpine tribes, and so far
from submitting. like those at the foot
OF the Mount Cents, they lost no
chance of making themselves not less
unpleasant to their lowland neighbors
than is the general wont of highland
ers. When at last Roman army had
stamped out the nuisance, good care
was taken that 1t should not occur.
A fortified town was built in an open
part of the valley where the roads join
from the two passes, which still may
claim TO be the best-preserved ex'

town. In situation also Aosta is with

yet more impressive surroundings.
The fertile valley of the Dora Baltea,
with it's maize fields and vineyards
stretches away westward up to the
massive Rutor, a snowclad wall, cap
ped by line of peaks, like ruined
battlements. To the north the valley
of the Great st. Bernard leads up to
the snowy cap of the Velan, and the
icy summit of the still loftier Combin !;
while to the south the huge rocky pyra-
mid of the Becca di Mona rises full
5000 feet above the streets, backed
by the still loftier Mont Emilius. even

The Thompkins were about to start
on the annual Sunday school picnic
given by their church Mrs. Thomp-
kins had finished putting dainty little
sandwiches into a large hamper bas-
ket and was tucking the cloth that
covered them nicely down when Mr..
Thompkins entered.
He had on a winter suit OF clothes
and was carrying half dozen life
preservers on one arm. Behind him
came boy carrying rain coats, blan-
kets, a medicine chest. half dozen
umbrellas and numerous mysterious
looking packages.
MRS. Thompkins," said the head of
the house, impressively, this is one
picnic at which there will be some
one who had brains enough to pre-
pare properly for emergencies.
Il propose to-day to demonstrate
how one can 60 to picnic and enjoy
oneself and make others have a good
time. It invariably rains at picnic.
Yet, how many think to provide them
selves with umbrellas and rain coats?
It always turns cold at a picnic; yet
people go out wearing the thinnest
clothes they happen to have. Chill
dren go boat riding and fall into the
water and are drowned because no
one had sense enough to put life pre-
servers on them. Some one is sun
struck because they had no Larasol
over their heads, and there Is no
blanket for them to lie down on in the
shade as there should be- Some one
takes poison, but there is no one

tendent OF the Sunday school l shah

Arrived at the picnic grounds Mr..
Thompkins called all the children
around him and informed them that
no one was to go boat riding without
putting on a life preserver and carry
ing an umbrella, so there would be
no danger of their either being sun.

ing protest, but Mr.. Thompkins stood
firm, and so the children put on the
life preservers and took their umbrel
las. The boys who had to row the
boats pointed out that they could not
row and hold umbrellas over their
heads at the same time, and so an
other boy was appointed to sit behind
the one who rowed and hold the UNI
brella. The boats had no sooner got
out into the stream than there was Q
collision between two of them. The
oarsmen could not see the other boats
because of the umbrellas held over
their heads and the colliding boats
promptly keeled over, and with many
whoops and bowls the occupants went
into the water.
'Hurrah, hurrah!" shouted Mr.
Thompkins, jumping up and down
"Ah, my wonderful foresight! They've
all got life preservers on. Get out the
medicine chest at once"
Mr.. Thompkins was throwing off hi:

Then he dived madly into the river.
His head and shoulders went out OF
sight, but his feet remained above wa

drivers and Mrs. Thompkins grabbed
the heels and after violent tug sue

on shore. With piece of wood they
dug mud out OF his eyes and ears and
then excavated a place for his mouth
SO that ne could talk.

Thompkins. 81 dived into the mud"

THE water is only about two feet

Mr.. Thompkins looked utterly
crushed and crawled down to the river
and washed the mud off his face and
then retired to his medicine chest,
where he sat waiting for the terrible
accident that he knew was sure to
come.
Suddenly there was a sharp report
and small girl appeared, crying vio-
lently. Mr. Thompkins with a bound
threw open the medicine chest and
grabbed out an array Of shining
knives, court plaster, and bandages.
He threw a book at Mrs. Thompkins
and ordered her to find the chapter on

Mr.. Thompkins. Keep perfectly cool.

downcast, but on the way home, when
he was expecting Mrs. Thompkins to
make some sly dig at him for carrying

felt immensely relieved and delighted
when she said: "And l am so glad
you took all the things you did to the
picnic"
"Ah." said Mr.. Thompkins, sitting
up and smiling. II was afraid you
wouldn't think much OF my prudence
and forethought."

Thompkins. you see, yhen you are
prepared for emergencies and sit
around looking for accidents to hap

Bright says she wants you to be sure
to come to their picnic next week and
to imagine all sorts Of dreadful things,
and Mrs. Jones wants you to come to
their picnic, and, in fact, | think you'll
be In great demand. The children all
think you are splendid mascot and
they want to tie pink ribbons in your

Mr.. Thompkins climbed up on the
seat and rode the rest Of the way

Dead Man Comes to Life.

New York. June 24.-Arrangements
were being made for autopsy on the
body of Simon Greenberg yesterday
morning when the supposedly dead
man sat up and objected, so Coroner
Jackson took his ante mortem state
ment instead.
Five doctors had said that Greenberg
was as good as dead, and had gone
their several ways, and four persons
had been arrested on the charge of
manslaughter.
Magistrate Pool had sent the pris-
oners to Coroner jackson, for the in
quest, but the coroner declined to re-
ceive them because the victim had
"regained consciousness" as the police
blotter put 1t. They were sent back to
court where the papers were revised to
meet the new conditions.
Just what allied Simon Greenberg is
still in dispute, as the usual tests APP
piled failed to show life in the body,
but Coroner Jackson and his brother
were making other severe tests just be-
fore the autopsy, when Greenberg sat
bolt upright and protested. He may
recover.

Fixing Scale of Prices a Prac-
tice Economically Correct
and Morally Sound
COAL OPERATORS DEFENDED
Herman Justi, Commissioner of illinois
Coal Operators Association, Delivers
Address in Chicago on "Orsaniza-
ton and Public Opinion''-Calls At

Chicago. June PA defense of the
right of the coal operators to organize
and fix scale of prices was made by
Herman Justi, commissioner OF the

lie Opinion" delivered before a meeting
of the retail coal dealers of Wiscon-
sin and Illinois in the Masonic Temple
yesterday ITO arrange scale of sell
ing prices or scale of wages is a
practice not only economically correct
but morally sound, was his conten-
ton.
The necessity of organization in all
branches of modern industry, and most
particularly among employers, who
have not realized this fact as quickly
as has labor, was emphasized by the
speaker The application of business
principles to the labor problem, and the
education of the public TO a correct APP
probation of the issues involved, are
all that is needed, in Justis opinion, to
calm the present industrial unrest.
In defending the right of the coal
operators to fix a scale of prices and
wages he said:
mo one knows better than the in
telligent coal operator that if coal is
immoderately advanced a sudden check
may arrest our present prosperous
career For this reason alone he re-

claring at the same time that these

what is being done In other industries.
Lastly judge finds them guilty and
imposes a fine. Can anything be more
unfair?"
In course of his discussion Of the
remedy for the labor problem JUST
said;
IF capital and labor will only apply
simple business rules to the labor prob
lem. it will be solved, but it will never
be solved unless they get together and
solve it ut home. Industry must or
ganize into Industrial families of cap
ital and labor, not so much that they
may the better get at each other, as
that they may get at themselves.
The present situation is certainly
The danger that threat
ems is not of organized labor, but rath-
er of disorganiZed labor. 1t is true that
the new compacts call themselves un-
ions, but they are that in name only.
They are a disgrace and a menace to
the continued success of true union
ism.
If we neglect our home duties, If we
ignore sound business rules and allow
our family disputes to be meddled with
by outsiders then we may expect the
congress to enact at least two
laws which capital and labor do not
want, and of which they both stand
in dread. namely, law providing for
arbitration, and law pro-
viding for the incorporation of labor
