Where RACING Manners Win

Manners are becoming more and
more important to the success of
harness horses that are expected to
race in good company and make any
sort of a showing. The overanXious
trotter or PAGER will take so much
out OF himself in scoring that horse
of less speed than he himself pos
sesses will beat him handily before
the race is ended. The horse that
cannot be placed at the will of his
driver after the word is given will
not win any race worth talking about
Neither will the horse of opposite
temperament-the sort that must be
"reefer" and rallied from start to
finish. The winning trotter must have
ambition enough to beat tile other
horses in the race, speed enough to
meet them on equal terms in that
particular, and the willingness to let
his driver decide when the brush for
the front shall be made. That sort
of horse is a rare bird, and when you
find one and expect him to win three
or four races in a row you must add
to his other good qualities those of
being good shipper, a firstclass
feeder and the ability to stand a
change of track and water every
week.-Los Angeles Times.

BATTLE WITH STRIKERS.
Striking Coal Miners Assault Illinois
Militia.

Benton, H.. Nov. 29.-Zeigler was
fired upon last night from sundown to
daylight 1t is estimated that no less
than 500 shots were fired at the town.
The town was completely surrounded
and the firing came from every quar-
ter. Response to this fusilade was
made by four Gatling guns placed at
various points about the mine build
ings.
Assistant AdIutant General Reece
and the Carbondale militia company
arrived in Ieigler to-day and General
Reece will remain several days to in
vestigate the situation It is thought
that still more troops will be brought
Joseph Letter reached ZeigIer today
with more miners from Chicago.
Examination Of the ground this
morning showed that the men who
were firing have powerful guns. They
were stationed from one-half to three
quarters of a mile from the town. Al
most bushel of empty shells Of every
size and manufacture were found in
the woods. A trail of blood was found
on rail fence and from this il is sup
posed that at least one person was
wounded

OPEN SHOP IDEA
IS ADVOCATED py EMPLOYERS
Address of President Parry of the citi-
zcns' Industrial Association at
Meeting in New York.

New York, Nov. 3O.-Members of the
Citizens Industrial Association, repre-
senting all sections OF the country, were
present when the second annual con-
yentiOn of tie organization opened
here yesterday.
1t is the aim of the convention 10
bring about a complete organization oil
manufacturers. business men and ALI
large employers OF labor and to adyo-
cate the open shop idea, All en-
ployers not aiilated with the associa-
ton were invited 10 attend the CONVEX
ton
President David NJ. Parry, in his an
nual address, reviewed the growth OF
the open shop movement and said
that within a year l coo factories have
opened their doors to workmen. with
out regard to their membership in
unions
IF trades unionsm should become
dominant in this country, | have not
the slightest doubt that our industries
would languish and our streets would
be filled with idle mer, No other re-
suits could POSSIBLY come from a sys-
ten that would base the reward of Ia
Dor not on merit, but on the power OF
organization TO dictate terms, a sys-
tenn that would restrict output, discour-
age enterprise and permit the indOlent
and least efficient TO set the pace for
industry. Can present-day unionism
become dominant in this Country2
1T is my belief that if you would
like to see organized labor obtain a
controlling power over industrial and
public affairs, all that you need do is
to fold your hands and let the unions
work their will. Under the dO-noth-
ing policy Of the employers, up until
few years ago, the growth of union
ism was magical. Finally. with sew
eral millions of workers back of them,
and flushed with victory because of sue
cess in a number of strikes, the lead
ers assumed a dictatorial attitude to-
ward Congress and local authorities
At that time it seemed as though pun-
lie opinion was ready to sanction any
demands that the strike bosses chose to
make. and but scant hearing was given
to the employers side of any contro-
versy. no matter how diplomatically
expressed
Il believe that this was a critical
time in the history of our country, and
had the employers not abandoned the
let-alOne policy, we should to-day be
facing a very different condition of at
fairs from that now confronting us. We
should. perhaps. have the eight-hour
and anti-injunction bills on the statute
books and the principle of preference
to unionists in employment, or. in
other words, the national closed shop
would more than likely be in fair way
of adoption"
Mr. Parry laid special stress on tho
educational feature of the work of the
Citizens Industrial Association. He
said the association has made marvel
Gus progress in the first year of its or
ganization and that it was certain to
become one of the most powerful and
influential forces for good TO be found

measured voice sounded sharply
through the hush. For the nrst time
he lowered his hand and bent for
ward where the tire-glow could touch
him.
AS she caught sight of his face Elf
giva shrank and clutched at her wom-
en-. "Ah, Saints. ] am thankful now
that it is dark" she murmured.
Sebert sustained the look with
proud steadiness. Nothing that
would be of use to me-" he said; land
l do not choose to pleasure you by
setting up a weak plea for you to
knock down again. If your messen-
gers had not taken me by sur
prise" He paused, with an odd
curl to his lips that could hardly be
called smile; but Canute gave him
command to finish, and he obeyed
with rising color. "If your messen-
gers had not come upon me as | was
riding on the Waiting street and
brought me here, a prisoner, l would
have argued the matter with arrows,
and you would needs have battered
down the defense of stone walls to
convince me-"
Mutters of mingled admiration and
censure buzzed around. Through it
all Canute sat motionless. studying
the Etheling with his bright colorless
eyes.
At last he said unexpectedly, "If
you would not obey my summons
until my men had dealt with you by
force, it cannot be said that Won have
much respect for my authority. Do
you not then acknowledge me as
king of the English?"
Rothgar betrayed impatience at this
branching aside. Sebert himself
showed surprise.
He said hesitatingly, IL cannot
deny that. You have the same right
that Cerdic had over the Rritons. Nay,
you have more, for you are the for
nal choice of the Witan. l cannot
rightly deny that you are king of the
Angles"
The Glenwood post., 1904-12-03

III you acknowledge me to be that.
Canute said. Il do not see why you
have not an argument for your de
fense."
While all stared at him he rose
slowly and stood before them, a daz.
zling figure as the light caught the
steel OF his ring-mail and turned his
polished helm to fiery dome.
"Sebert Oswaldsson," he said slow.
ly, Il did not feel much love toward
you the first time | saw you, and it is
hard for me not to hate YOU now

fore Canute the man, ou would have
received the answer you expect. But
it is your luck that Canute the man
is dead, and you stand before Canute
the King. Hear then my answer: BY
all the laws of war, the land belongs
to lvar's son; and had he regained it
while war ruled, l had not taken it
from him, though the Witan itself
commanded me. But instead of re-
gaining it, he lost it." He stretched
a forbidding hand toward Rothgar,
feeling without seeing his angry i'm
pulse. by what means matters not ::
battles have turned on smaller
thing, and the loyalty of those we
have protected is a lawful weapon to
defend ourselves with. The kinsman
OF lvar second time lost his inheri.
tance, and the opportunity passed
forever. What concerns wartime is
a thing by itself; as ruler over laws
and land-rights, l cannot give one
mans lands to another, though the
one be a man 1 care little for, and the
other is my foster-brother. Go back
therefore, unhindered, Lord of Ivars
dale, and live in peace henceforth. Or
var, want you to restore to him his
weapon and see him on his way in
safety. Your life shall answer for
any harm done to him."
With one hand, he struck down the
murmur that was rising; with the
other he made an urgent gesture of
haste, which Orvar seemed to under
stand. Even while he was returning
to the Lord of Ivarsdale his sword
he seized him by the arm and hurried
him down the room, the Etheling
walking like man in dream.
From the dusk of the rafters, the
girl who loved him stretched out her
hands to him in tender farewell, but
there was no more of anguish in the
gesture. Gazing after him, the tears

but the glare lay strong on Sebert Of
Ivarsdale, revealing picture that
caused one spectator to catch her
breath in a sob. Equally aloof from
English thane and Danish noble, the
Etheling in the palace of his native
king stood a stranger and alone,
while his swordless sheath showed
him to be also prisoner. He bore
himself proudly. one of his blood
could scarcely have done otherwise,
but his fine face was white with mis-
cry, and despair darkened his eyes
as they stared unseeingly before him.
Answering a question from the
King, Rothgar began to speak, his
heavy voice seeming to fill all the
space from floor to ceiling: by all
the laws of war, King Canute, the
Odal of Ivarsdale should come to me.
The first son of Lodbrok took the land
before ever this Angles kin had seen
it. He built the tower that stands on
Vt and the name it bears to this day
Is the name of his giving. Under
Guthrum, a weakened son of his son

have sat since then in the seat of Lod-
brok's sons. But now the scales have
risen again. Under Canute, Ivars-
Aale, with all other English property,
colnes back to Danish hands. By all
the laws of war, my kinsman's inheri-
tance should be my share of the
spoil"
Ending roundly, he drew himself up
in an attitude of bold assurance
Wherever a group of scarlet cloaks
made bright patch upon the human
arras, there was a tlutter of approval.
In the shadow of his hand, Canute
nodded slowly. by all the laws of
war" he affirmed, your kinsnan's in
heritance should be your share of the
spoil"
/Again an approving murmur rose
pirom Danish throats; and Rothgar
was opening his lips to voice a CRATE
full answer, when a gesture of the
royal hand checked him.

ose slowly to her eyes and rcIYed
'lowly down her cheeks, but on her
mouth was a little smile whose won
lering joy mounted to exaltation.
The murmur below was growing,
despite the kings restraining hand;
and now, crashing throug. it in hide
Gus discord, came Durst of jeering
laughter from the Jotun. What words
he also spoke they could not catch,
but they heard the Danish cries sink
and die, aghast and they saw score
II English thames spring upon him
and drag him backward. Above the
noise of their scuhiing. the kings
voice sounded stern and cold.
While | act as law-man m my
Judgment hall, l will hear no disput-
ing of my judgments. Whose comes
to me in my private chamber, as
friend to friend. may tell his mind;
but now l speak as king. and what
| have spoken shall stand"
Struggling with those who would
have forced him from the room, Roth
gar had no breath to retort with. but
the words did not go unsaid because
of that. Wherever scarlet cloaks made
a bright patch, the human arras sway
ed and shook violently, and then fell
apart into groups of angry men whose
voices rose in resentful chorus:
Such judgment by Danish king
is uneXampled!" king, are we all
to expect this treatment?" This is
the third time you have ruled against
your own men" you are our chief,
whose kingship we have held up
with our lives" What are these Eng
lish to you?" Snarling more and more
openly, they surged forward, closing
around the dais in fiery mass.
Canute's sword was no more bril-
lantly hard than his face, and his
eyes We're glittering points. The ring
OF steel was in his voice as he an
swered:
You speak as you have a right
but you speak as men who have
swines' memories. Was it your sup
port or your courage that won me the
English crown? 1t may be that if
had waited until pyre and fire you
would have done so, but it happened
that before that time the English
Witan gave 1t to me as a gift, il re-
turn for my pledge to rule them just
ly My meaning in this judgment,
and the others that you dislike, is
that | am going to keep that pledge.
| tell you now, openly and without
deceit that henceforth there is to be
but one rule for Angle and Dane
alike; and | shall be as much their
king as yours; and they shall share
equally in my justice You may like
it or not, but that is what will take
place"
How they liked it was suggested by
a bursting roar and the scuhling of
many feet as the English leaped for
ward to protect their new king and
the Danes whirled to meet them, but
the women in the gallery did not wait
to see the outcome In a frenzy of
terror, Elfgiva dragged up the kneel-
ing maids and herded them through
the door.
"Go-before they get into the ante
room!' she gasped DO you not see
that he is no longer human? We
should be pleading with iron. Go!
Before they tear down the walls!"

Worlds Largest MonoIith.

London Engineering illustrates and
describes the largest monolith yet
built. Two of these structures form
the foundations for the roundheads at
the entrance of the new Midland Rail-
way Company's harbor at Heysham, in
Morcambe bay. The roundheads are
three hundred feet apart, and only a
short distance removed from the main
channel formed by Heysham lake.
They are built on monoliths, which
constituted one Of the most interesting
features of the works, for, being fifty
five feet in diameter, they were the
largest constructed in connection with
harbor works.
