 The strike of the carpenters of Bridgeport, which has tied up build ing for two weeks, was practically broken last night by vote of the committee on arbitration, when it de- cided that the Carpenters union had broken its agreement with the Inter- state Builders association by striking against the Bridgeport Building Co when the latter hired man dropped by the union. The union has a three-year agreement not to enter into a strike against a member of the association.

lay to the left. His friend looked, then shook his head.
 "Our path is to the right" he said.
 Only few pints of water remained, and, at the utmost, the animals could only travel 40 miles further.
 As neither man would give way, it was agreed to settle which of the tracks they should take by spinning shilling. Heads" was to signify that they should go by the road to the right, and tails by the road to the left.
 Up spun the coin.
 The fate of both men and beasts rest cd on its fall To take the wrong path might mean 800 miles along the ever lasting track to the nearest camp-a cer- tain and horrible death by thirst and starvation.
 The coin fell. Heads" was uppermost. And the buggy rolled down the roadway on the right.
 Perhaps it was chance, perhaps it was something else; but whatever it was, the path on the right did lead to the railway.
 Night had fallen when the sound of their horses hoofs striking metal told the wearied travellers that they had reached the line.
 Having unharnessed the horses, the two men threw themselves down beside the embankment to await the arrival of a train.
 Two hours went by before far away along the metaled bank small gold spark appeared. Nearer and nearer it approached, growing larger every few minutes.
 Now 1t was only mile away. An other four minutes and 1t would pass.
 Overjoyed at the sight, both men clam bered up the bank on the metals, and,

Tree with a Bad Temper.

Tn Australia Is a species of acacia known as the angry tree" It reaches the height of 90 feet, after a rapid growth; and in outward appearance somewhat resembles a gigantic cen tury plant. When the sun sets the leaves fold up and the tender twigs coil tightly, and if the shoots arc handled the leaves rustic and move uneasily for a time. If this queer plant is removed from one soil to another, it seems angry, and the leaves stand out in all directions for an hour or two.

DIED ON G. A. R. PARADE.
Colonel John Y. PryOn Succumbed to
 Exhaustion at Boston.

Colonel John Y. PryOn Succumbed to
 Exhaustion at Boston.
 BOSTON, Aug. IT. - If anything were needed to prove that the Grand Army of the Republic Is still in fact a mighty host it was to be found when, with half a million civilians looking on, 26,OOO survivors of the Union forces of the civil war assem- bled here from all sections of the United States marched through the streets of Boston. Five and a half hours we're required for the parade to pass given point, and 1t was a severe strain on the old soldiers-one of the hardest battles ever they had entered to stand and walk on the hot crowded streets-but generally they bore the hardship as true heroes. More than three score of them dropped from the ranks from exhaustion and heat pros tration and were tenderly cared for at the field and civic hospitals.
 ! The death of one soldier marred an otherwise happy day Colonel John p. Pryon, a member of John A. Dix PSst No. 1855 of New York, died from heart failure induced by exhaustion. At least 250 spectators, mostly wo- men, fainted during the parade, and many persons were slightly injured and had dresses torn ill the crush of the crowds.

HAIR-RAIsING ADVENTURE IN
 THE AUSTRALIAN BUSH.
How the Toss of Shilling Saved the Lives of Two Lost Wanderers Just Matter of
 Luck.

Along the lonely path through the terrible Australian bush logged a buggy drawn by a pair of bush horses. Seat ed in it were two Englishmen. They were hoping to reach Southern Cross soon after nightfall.
 But now the buggy had drawn up. The men sprang out. Before them the path branched out into two tracks. Down these both gazed long and carefully. Then they looked at each other, bafled and perplexed. #

The Race That Failed

James J. Hill, the railroad president,
began his connection with the Transport
tation business through steamboating
but he soon deserted 1t for railroadirg.
The road which he has since made so
widely known was at that time consid-
cred the siowest in the country. Mr..
Hill listened go~od-naturedly TO the fun
that was naturally poked at his road
and worked the harder to improve it.
Meeting Mr.. Hill enc Day on the street
in St. Paul, Edmond Joe" Reynolds,
OF upper-river steamboat fame, said:
Jim, III match ore of my steambo.s
against one of your trains in a fair race
for $500 a side.'
well, l don't know" hes.tated Mr..
Hill; some of you boats are pretty
fast"
Come, I'll race you upstream" urgec
Reynolds.
"Oh, thunder!' re.urred Mr.. Hi in q
disguised tone; IF you're goirg to sticn
to the river then you night as well drop
the notion of a race. / thought YOU
meant you'd bring your BOAT out on the
prairie alongside the track and give me
some show"
