NOTHING DOING
SHOP MEMS REQUEST FOR NEW
HOSPITAL BOARD IGNORED.

II the request of the trades council
Of the illinois Central shops here ash
ing for a new hospital board has been
received by Illinois Central officials
il is doubtless to be ignored. IL Is
clsimed by the shop men that they
wrote Mr.. McCourt, assistant general
manager, for conference TO discuss
the matter, but Mr.. MoCourt claims
ne has never received the request.
A member Of the hospital board st
Yesterdays meeting asked n any Off
cial notice had teen received of the

Piled. The officials do not appear 10
think there is any advantage to be
gained by a change in the board. and
declare that IT would be impossible to
get better board than now manages
the hospital
Some Of the shop men say they will
refuse to pay dues, but It Is likely
that after deliberation there will be
nothing further done in the matter.

The attendance at the worlds fair has
not been what was expected, but it Is
probably not because it was not prop
erly advertised" There are few peo-
Pile likely to have visited the big expo
sition who do not know of its magni-
tude as well as they could realize it
without seeing it. Advertising would
not help it. The real cause seems TO be
that eXpositions are no longer the at
traction they were when they were
more of a novelty. No matter how big
they may be many people simply have
no desire to 60, and nothing they could
read about it that they have not already
read would make them want to 60. An
exposition is not like a bargain sale.
Possibly few people in the United States
as well as most of the foreign coun-
tries. do not know that the st. Louis
fair is the most magnificent thing of it,
Kind the world has ever known, or will
ever know. and those who want to 60
and can, will 90 il they have not already
been. and those who don't will not 60
even if they read advertisements" OF
it every hour of the day. And no amount
of space or of advertising could give any
person any adequate conception OF the
vastness and grandeur of the display at

THE JAPS AND THE MULE.
Rice Growers Of Nippon Are Not Anx-
ious to Employ the Hybrid
in Their Work.

$50 the Japanese rice growers are
not willing to tackle that interesting
native institution, the American mule
without the aid of home folk" said
an observant man, according to the
New Orleans Times Democrat, land
i can see where they are right about
the matter. The American mule Is
a long-eared, quick-heeled, supple
tinted mystery, and no man, no mat
ter how wise he may be, can do any
thing with him unless he have speciaI
training. AS a matter Of fact, the
white man in America is sadly de-
ficient when It comes to working
knowledge of the mule. Up to the
present writing the American negro
is the only living person who can
claim anything like mastery when It
comes to the mule. Somehow there
Is something IN the nature Of the
black man and the mule which makes
1t easier for them to get along. just
what 1t Is do not know. But even
the black man will have his ups and
downs now and then with the mule,
and I have seen some very interest
ing instances Of this kind, one Of the
most amusing being that of an ex-
tremely hard skulled negro who never
wanted q better weapon than his head
in any sort of conflict with man or
beast.
Zone day he fell out with his mule.
Ordinarily, they get along well enough
together. But in some way the mule
on the day in question made the
negro mad and the fight began. In
the first place, the negro broke his
water jug over the mules head. This
did not feaze the animal. Grabbing
the mule by the ears and taking Q
good, firm grip, the black man landed
with vigor between the mules ears,
using his head as weapon. The blow
was knockout blow all right, but
the trouble was that 1t knocked the
negro out also. Both mule and negro
fell to the ground like dead. In q
short while both were fairly good
friends again. The Japs are right
They will need special training ON
the mule proposition and no mistake.
and the negro is about the best man
they can get to do the training"
