MAKE PEACE WITH DRIVERS.
Man Discharged for Having Rig StoI

en- with. 30 OF GOODS ReinSta ted.
Chicago, Oct. 27.-The theft recent
ly of a horse and wagon and SIS worth
of goods be]oning to C. Jevne & Co.,
grocers, at 10 Madison street, result
ed in the discharge of the driver, and
yesterday strike of fifteen fellow en-
ployes was called to secure his rein
statement.
After the strike had been on half
an hour the manager agreed to the re-
today and the strikers returned to
work.
Recently the driver involved left his
horse and wagon standing on the
street while he. delivered an order in
a nearby flat building. When he re-
turned the rig had been stolen. He
was then discharged.
Business agents Of the Grocery and
Market Wagon Drivers Union endeav-
ored for several days to secure his re-
instatement without success. The
union then ordered the strike on the
ground that the employer had signed
an agreement that drivers would not
be held responsible for goods stolen
from wagons unless they were fur
nished with helpers to watch the
vehicle in their absence.
The first days work of the team
sters' flying squadron, resulted in
the payment 81 SIS 900 In back dues by
delinquent members. Nearly 200 Off
cials of the various teamsters' unions,
headed by Jerry Mccarthy, J. B. Fitz-
patrick and M F. Kelly, stopped at
least 10000 transfers yesterday and
asked them to show their working
cards. Those in arrears were instruct
ed to appear at their respective union
hea dquarters and settle. Some owed
as high as $3.50.
The Hold Carriers and Building Lab
orers' unions in Chicago are, accord
ing to President Herman .Lilien
among the strongest unions financially
in the world. They have 5000 men,
bers and $4,000 in their treasures.

We have commented before upon
the interesting fact that the owners of
cheap barber shops have recently been
selling good deal Of hair dye.
1t is not vanity that buys the hair
dye, but necessity. The workman with
gray hair-to say nothing of the white
haired man-knows that he has no
chance at all to get work in the mo-
dern Industrial system, which grinds
up men az 1t grinds up iron ore.
II such a gray or white haired man
needs Job he gets his hair dyed black
by cheap barber, then applies for
work toward evening, when. out OF
doors. the bluish-black of his hair dye
will not be noticed.
Now we have great Industrial
trust, first monopolizing the industry
OF \ nation, and then shutting out
even from the hope Of wages all men
past thirty-five Or forty.
1t is certainly a hideous, barbarous
state of affairs.
Of course( the thought behind the
order is very simple. The young man
Is quicker; he does more work in a
day; more alert physically, he escapes
accidents that sometimes means pay

Snort Is Too DANGEROUS.

The death of George Leander of
Chicago, who died as n result of in
juries received from fall Oh the
Park des Princes track in Paris, is
offered as another argument for dis
continuance of racing behind powerful
motor cycles. Harry Elkes, johnny"
Nelson and Archie McEachern are.
three other pace followers who met
their death while travelling at terrific
speed behind the suffering motors.
The death of Leander is n hard
blow to cycling as he was one OF the
best-liked men in the game. He was a
big, handsome fellow OF wonderful
strength and vitality, and when he
won the six-day race in 1902 he fin
ished fresher than any other mar ever
completed such journey.

8 Machines That Weigh Thoughts ana
Measure Senses. s

Measure Senses.

machine might be best described as
shallow coffin, exactly balanced On
krife-blades so as to gently rock ike
a perfectly poised see-saw. The sub
ject is placed supine within the shai-
low tray, and after his body has come
TO rest weights are shifted until an
even balance Is maintained. Gradu-
ated scales. spirit-levels, and indicat-
ors betray the slightest disturbance Oh
the subjects equilibrium.
To have your thoughts weighed by
this machine, you lie fiat upon the
shallow coffin with your hands at your
sides. The operator will then ask you
TO think OF love, hate, jealousy, Or
any other of the human passions. AS
YOU do so you will find your head fall
ing, your feet rising, and the plane
OF your equilibrium so altered that,
were it not for the stop-catch on the
scale, you would find youyself turning
q somersault. The opposite result fol-
| lows when the operator asks you 10
think of running, jumping or kicking.
In this case you feet will sink anqf
your head rise in proportion to the ini
tensity of your thoughts.
This effect is brought about by the
action of thought on the blood or the
body. The machine is, in fact, key
board to the brain, enabling the oper-
ator to follow the course and speed
of the nerve kilograms sent by the
brain to the heart, and then to follow
what have been described as the thur
ry up" orders of the heart for new
supply of blood corpuscles in what
ever part of the body they may be
needed.
It is also quite possible with this
unique instrument to compare mental
processes. 1t may be made to show,
