Thomas j. Minnick, an English news
paper man. sought glory by initiating
the oldtime American reporters trick
of having himself locked up in a Bel
gian madhouse to secure a sensation.
The doctors. however. got on" to
Thomas and to teach him lesson
dosed him with vomiting powders.
Next he was put on diet of sour her
rings and no water; at night he wasn't
allowed to sleep and when he COM
planned he was told that he had a
tumor in his brain and was imagining
ill treatment. He would feel better as
soon as the tumor was cut out. When
finally the doctors tried to chloroform
him and made preparations to operate
upon him Thomas disclosed his identi-
ty. But the doctors would not let him
off. They sent him under guard to the
police station. where he was booked
as an impOstor and for obtaining the
county's charity under false pretenses.

MEN SH RE THE PROFITS.
Vancouver Street Railway Company Is
Kun OH the Cooperative Plan.


An experiment in the cooperative
line is being tried by the street railway
company of Vancouver, thus tar with
excellent results to all Interested. Man
ager BuntZen recently addressed Il
mass meeting of the wOrkmen employ
ed by the company. explaining the
workings of the system. The company
has voluntarily decided that the rcgu-
lar employees shall receive as their
share of it's profits one-third Of the
amount available for dividends after
the ordinary shareholders have rece1v-
ed per cent. This means. as estimat-
ed, that at 1.-THE end of the first year
each employe will receive about $50, at
the end Of the second year the share
will be about $50 and in five years it
will be 500. The men will! receive the
standard union wages. Manager Bunt-
zen says that. in his opinion, the ill.,
creased interest in the company's well
fare OH the part of the employees Great
ed by the new system will add so mach
to the company's success that the
shareholders as we'll as the men will
gain by the innovation.
The employees proportion Of the pro-
fits will be divided equally among
them. all being considered as units in
making the company's business Il sue
cess. In addition to the voluntary
concession, the company pays as high
wages for every class Of work rs are
Maid nv other local EMPLOYERS and gem
orally speaking. higher wages. The
company also makes certain con-
cessions in the way Of uniforms,
light and transportation that en-
ployers in other lines of business
are not in a position to grant. 1t is
customary to look for rocks in the way
Of all such industrial experiments. Men
do not work for low wages nor under
unfavorable conditions voluntarily, but
because they are forced to do so by
the conditions Of the labor markets.

the scene with horror. and believed
that the stately city had received a
shock from which it could never re-

But Chicago. even while sitting in
the ashes and wailing over the calami-

ever seen before, and arose from the

growth, and it stands to-day as the
worlds most wonderful monument to
undaunted industry.

A meeting was held with the Potta-

for the garrison to Fort Wayne. To
avoid trouble. however, the whisky
and the surplus ammunition were cast

The evacuation was begun on Au-

Turnips and carrots make excellent
winter food. For cattle they should
be sliced with root slicer, which does
the work very rapidly. Even poultry
can consume such foods when the ma

sliced roots is to sprinkle cornmeal
and bran over the mess and give 1t to
the cattle or fowls at least once a day.
