Notwithstanding that there are fif- teen hundred laborers idle in Anacon- da the smelters have advertisements east for laborers, says an exchange. The smelters are largely idle because the owners are determined to down the unions. A shift-boss, McCabe has been arrested for having forced ignor- ant Austrtans and Italians to give up large sums of money for the privilege of working. Americans and Irishmen have been set aside and Austrians atS1 Italians given work the first day after their arrival from the old country. This led to an investigation and it was found that these men had been hired in Europe contrary to the contract la- bor laws, and that eacn had pledged himself to pay certain part of his wages for the privilege of work.

WHAT A WOMAN DID WITH A CAT

Making her cat act as her plumber was the ingenious feat that woman of Manayunk accomplished the other day. This woman had noticed that one of the pipes connected with the wash stand in her bathroom leaked, and she wished to locate the leak precisely without tearing out any more of the wall than was needfu1
 Accordingly she shut her cat up in her parlor--the parlor is directly below the bathroon1-and into the basin of the defective wash stand she poured vial of the oil of valerian. Cats are exces- sively Aond of the odor of valerian; a cat would rather inhale this odor than eat fish. The Manay yunk woman's cat after it had been in the parlor a few minutes, began to purr. Purring, Il crossed the room; it settled itself on the floor with it's face to one spot on the wall, and here its mistress found ii when she came down stairs, it's nose glued to the spot, sniff1ng and purring ecstatically.
 Tha wall was opened at this point and here. sure enough, the leak was found. Here the valerian had trickled through, imparting its intoxicating odo1 to the cat.-Philadelphia Record.

 Magistrate Scott went down to the shore one day this week, and on his return had story, as follows:
 'gThere was d tinhorn gambler from New York stopping at one of the sec ond rate hotels with his wife and lit tie girl. Business had been dull with him, and he was way behind in his board bill. The landlady was get ting nervous, for business with her was dull, too, and the house was not half full. One day just before the dinner hour one of those slick looking articles in a white high hat and long duster, who poses as doctor, but whose real game is poker, came into the caravansary and went up to the rooms of the gambler.
 'In ten minutes he came down again with a face as long as an Irish hotel bill. He sought out the landlady, and in a solemn voice told her 1t was his painful duty to inform her that the little girl in No AZ was going to have a bad case of smallpox
 '"The lahd1ady was business to the backbone. She took ten-dollar bill, pressed it in the doctors hand, and said: Doctor, you can get those peo- pie out of my house. You know it would ruin me if it were knowri'
 z" We'll said the doctor slowly, they'd have to go tomorrow, any how. I'll get them out, but you must lock that room just as soon as they are gone, and allow no one to enter it.
 "The scheme worked to a charm, and the gambler and his side partner, the doctor. occupied the same seat in the smoker that evening when the train pulled out for New York. .---Phil- adelphfa Daily Telegraph.

UNLOADING WATERMELoNs.

Work That Calls for Activity and Not a
 Little Skill as We'll
 Play ball!' said a stalwart looking young man standing on big truck load of waterhelons backed up to the curb in front of the store at which the melons were to be delivered, and a mo- ment later he had tossed the first big and solid green globe to man standing in the middle of the sidewalk, who tossed it to man standing at the front of the store. where the watermelons were to be piled.
 And then these three men kept the watermelons going through the air till the whole load had been transferred from the truck and stacked up in pile at the store door. This is the common way in which watermelons are unload ed and in which they can be shifted q good deal quickerthan they could be by picking them up and carrying them in.
 It is strenuous work and work that calls for skill, too, tossing and catching watermelons; but the men that handle watermelons handle many loads thus and get well accustomed to the work in the course of the season, and they trasfer load after load without mis. hap.
 But even an expert watermelon catcher may huff a ball occasionally and when he does they never stop to gather up the fragments. It is quite beyond repair

 article in his paper in which he proves
 that Connecticut is growing better; that statistics show a lower rate of criminal population in the jails and re- fornnatories each year. This is blow
 at the pessinaists who claim the world is growing wickeder every year, and
 that the Christian religion is losing ad-

When President Roosevelt appointed
 ''Ret" Clarkson surveyor of the port of
 New York there was general gasp of
 astoishment by civil service reformers,
 and q good deal of surprise was mani fested by the less truly good polite ians, says Washington writer. That
 Clarkson paid but little attention to the duties of his office, but was making secret trips to the southern states, with d strong inclination to confine the so-
 ciety he sought to 'tblack and tanss'
 and lilly whites who were known to be important factors in selecting dele gates to national republican conven- tons, occasioned no amazenent
 amongst politicians. They regarded
 him as the personal representative of the president, and on what may be called a secret service mission for him. | Clarkson regards public office as a pri- vate snap, and although President Roosevelt is supposed to have other and opposite views on the duties of
 public officers, he evidently does not
 disapprove of the Clarkson '.graft'' of
 drawing good salary without much, 1 if any, return to the people who are taxed by it. Clarkson is an old politi-
 cal pal of Postmaster General Payne;
 they have been mixed up in some sim
 liar deals--obtaining delegates oh for
 mer occa asions--so nobody will be par ticularly surprised at the information | that Ret Clarkson is the official who furnished the revenue cutter for Post master General Payne and his family
 to take their late summer outing. That
 revenue cutters were not intended for private use does not seem to have troubled the elastic political con
 sciences of either Clarkson or Payne. ! It is through this loose idea of the pri. vate snap, that high officials regard as l their political perquisites, that the grafting and footing in the postoffice and other departments have grown to such serious scandals. Yet MT Payne 1 is supposed to be Investigating this l sort of thing. When will the people

President Roosevelt lighting

President Roosevelt fighting the trusts? Rot, says an exchange. He is their best friend. He, as no other liv- ing man, knows how to tickle them and at the same time make the multi tude, who sees his fierce face and wig orous gestures, believe that he is mauling the immortal fchor out of them. The trusts have great need of just such a man at this juncture to save them from the wrath of an out ragged people It is part of their game that Wall street and the trusts are to be against Roosevelt this year. Next year, when the campaign is on, it will be found that the c. 0. P. is getting financial support from its old time friends--the trusts.
