1902 the average was 81. The increase
was due to the long, far-reaching, gen.
eral strike of the miners, whose 1920
strikers lost s.21O.s57 days. The other
511 strikes. with 1854 strikers, caused
a loss of 1851. $50 days-an average of IS

THE CrTY BEAUTTFUL.

There will be many wonderful things
at st. Louis next year, including the
flying machines. One of the wonderful
things will be 'the city beautiful" a
model street one hundred feet wide and
half mile long, constructed at cost
of $500, 900 to show the American ideal
of what modern city should be. This
street, paved in successive sections
with asphalt, treated wood, vitrifed
brick, asphalt blocks, bitunlinous ma
cadam, Telford and granite blocks, will
have on each side magnificent model
buildings illustrating the last word in
railroad, stations, hotels, hospitals.
nurseries, factories, workingmen's
homes and police stations. City SER
vices at their best will be shown in
surface, elevated and subway street car
lines; towers and lamps for street
lighting with gas, electricity and acety-
line; street fixtures: examples of tree
planting on streets and curbing: park
equipment; sewer systems and under
ground conduits for water, gas, refrig-
GRAFTON and telephone, telegraph and
feed wires.
Each of the cities will exhibit that
one of its features in which it has been
most successful. 1t is rumored that
New Haven is going to exhibit it's sue
cess in dealing with its beautiful elns.

NO COURT DRESS YET.

There are many "lower attaches" at
the White House-servants, messen-
gers, etc., ETC., and lately there has been
a good deal of talk about the fine
clothes they were going to be dressed
in in order to make it plain that they
were 'lower attaches" 1t now appears
that much of this talk has been exag-
gerated. A modest uniform has been
adopted for the eight messengers at the
executive mansion. but it has never
been contemplated to require the gen.
eral employees in the business offices or
the ushers at the White House to don
anything approaching court dress. Sec
rotary Loeb decided some time since
that a distinctive uniform must be worn
by the messengers at the executive Of
Gees in order that they might be dis
tinguished by strangers from ordinary
visitors. II was realized that such a
move would be the signal for lot of
fun making and ridicule, but after ma
ture consideration 1t was determined to
adopt the plan. Accordingly, eight of
the messengers. including Arthur Sim
mons, who for the past forty years has
guarded the door Of the Presidents
private secretary, were measured for
the uniforms. They are OF dark blue
material, cut like the regulation sack
business suit. and but for the buttons
there would be nothing suggestive of
the uniform about them. These buttons
are nickel. and not silver, ais has been
stated. Four OF them run down the
face Of the coat and two more are on
each sleeve. The vest has buttons Of
the same material. AS the messengers
pass in and out Of business offices they
are readily distinguished as employees
and are no longer taken for callers.
Probably this performance wont
shake the foundations of Republican
institutions. but 1t is cheering to know
that the lower attaches" Of the White
House are not to look and act like the
lower attaches Of a kingly court.

HOW TIE BoERS EEEL.

A correspondent of the London Times
has been travelling among the repatri-
ated Beers in. the Transvaal and trying
to discover the true state of their feel
ings towards Great Britain. He saws
that he believes that most Of them are
friendly and grateful for what has been
done for them, but that they feel con-
siderable anxiety about the future. The
great majority Of them are in the gov
ernment's debt; and 1t is the doubt as
to how far their share of the free gift
of e3,000,000 will get them out of debt
which weighs upon their minds. The
correspondent thinks that the hardest
task is still in front, namely, the collec-
tion of debts, the just assessment of
claims, and, above all, the fulfillment of
promises made. 1t is the manner in
which this work is carried out, he saws.
which will determine the attitude to be
adopted by the greater proportion of
the Boer population. There must be
the most scrupulous fairness and the
utmost tact, he declares, and no prom
Use must remain unfulfiIled. The Beers
do not accept the new order of things
without considerable ..misgiving, and
the hurt to their national pride cannot
be quickly healed; but he believes that
for the most part they have confidence
in their new government, and will be
content so long as they are fairly treat
ed. But, he adds, there are a consid-
cradle number of temporary irreconcil-
ables who may be expected to make
trouble as soon as government benefac-
tons have been exhausted. Moreover,
there are a body Of permanent irrecon-
cilables who still dream of South At
rican republic and are already busily
sowing the seeds of discomfort among
the more peaceable inhabitants.

He started in as office boy,
He busted off the chairs;
He put things in their places, and
He. frightened up affairs;
He never monkeyed in the hall,
He never tried to shirk;
He always answered every call
And blithely did his work.
He never cared to read about
The deeds of Deadwood Dick!
His parents never sent word that
Their darling son was sick;
His grandma never died, and so
He worked day after day;
He went where he was told to go,
Nor iOitered on the way.
He had no taste for playing jokes,
Around the busy place.;
1t was pleasure to behold
His bright and happy faces
He never hummed ragtime air
Nor pulled cigarette, 81 ..-.s
And when they left things in his care
They knew he'd not forget.
He never practiced dancing jigs,
Nor spoke till spoken to;
He never Sneaked away at night,
While there was work to do
Yet of that good boy there Is a
Surprising thing to learn;
The fact is that he's not to-day
The head of that concern.

ANOTH Err AGITATED COUNTRY.

This isn't the only country that has
much labor agitation. For instance,
last year France had 512 strikes, in
volving 212,704 strikers-162, 622 men,
1926 women and 14,756 young people
in 1920 establishments. They entailed
the loss of 4,675,os1 days work, of which
2O2,6O4 were suffered by parties who
were not strikers. In 1901 there were
52S strikes, causing a loss of 1,S26,O5O

alarmed lest he should import an alien

agreement was broken on every side,
however. and Mr.. Scully succeeded in
