Calls for General Sympathetic
Strike.
sToCkHAAOlERs AND swI1cHMEM
The Object Is to Create a Meat Famine
and Thus Arouse Public Senti.
ment for Settlement.

CHICAGO. Aug. 31.-Accordlng to
the plan adopted yesterday by the
strike leaders to continue and extend
the packing house strike, and realizing
that the life of the union is at stake
unless more forceful blows are struck
morning called out the stockhandlers
employed by the Union Stackyards &
Transit company to the number Of $50.
OF these 125 are special policemen.
The remainder are employed in weigh
ing, counting, feeding and driving cat
tie. 1t is believed the walk out of these
men will seriously cripple the oper-
alton of the plants. Before going out
the stock handlers took care of a large
part of this mornings receipts.
President Donnelly struck another
blow at the packers this morning when
he announced that he would immedi-
ately call out the butchers and all
workmen in Independent plants. The
independent plants that will be forced
to close down today are Boyd & Lun-
ham, Roberts & Oakes, and Doors &
company. This move is intended to
bring on a meat famine and call the
attention of the public to the serious
ness of the situation. The strikers
hope by this means to force interven-
ton.
AS a result of Donnellys appeal the
Switchmen's union will hold a meeting
this afternoon, wnen it is expected
action will be taken on the proposed
sympathetic strike, the switchmen to
refuse to handle cars loaded with
packers goods. 1t is reported that a.
telegram has been sent Grand Master
Hawley of the Switchmen's Union OF
North America, asking him to order all
switchmen in the country not to ham
die meat trains DelOnSlnS 10 the pdCh-
ers.
The police detail at the yards was
increased today in anticipation Of trou-
BILE.
Reports from Kansas City and Oma-
ha say tnat the situation is not af-
fected by the new general strike order
issued by Donnely.
According to President Donnelly
there will be no union meat produced
in the country when his latest order
goes into effect tonight. This order
involves $4,000 butchers and meat cut

BUNYAN's TOMB.

Burial Place In England of the Au-
thor of "Pilgrim's Progress"
John Bunyan's tomb is in the vast
burial ground Of Bunhill fields, origi-
nally called "Bonehill fields" probably
from the quantity Of bones which, as
Maitland tells us, were transported
thither in 1910. This is now closed as
a cemetery, but the forest of tombs
shaded by young trees is a green oasis
in black part of London
Near the center of the puritan Ne
cropolis," white figure, lying upon a
high modern altar tomb, marks the
grave Of John Bunyan. He died at
Snow hill from a cold taken on mis-
sionary excursion Aug. 81, 1888, aged
sixty.
Macaulay in one Of his essays says:
'eThe spot where Bunyan lies is still
regarded by the Nonconformists with
feeling which seems scarcely in har-
mony with the stern spirit of theology.
Many Puritans, to whom the respect
paid by Roman Catholics to the tombs
of their saints seems childish and sin
full, are said to have begged with their
dying breath that their collins might
be placed as near as possible to that Of

HOW TO STAY YOUNG.
Will Power Large Factor In Keep
ing Away Decreptitude.


How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel. That's
wrong. A man and woman are as old
as they take themselves to be.
Growing old is largely a habit of the
mind. ''As a man thinketh in his
heart SO is he." If he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old
To keep oneself from decrepitude is
somewhat matter Of will power. The
fates are kind to the man who hangs
on to life with both hands. He who
let's go will go. Death is slow only to
tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched in the wrong
place for the fountain Of youth It
is in oneself One must keep one
self young inside, SO that while 'the
outer man perisheth the inner man is
renewed day by day"
When the human mind ceases to ex-
ert itself, when there is no longer an
active interest in the affairs Of this
life, when the human stops reading
and thinking and doing, the man, like a
blasted tree, begins to die at the top.
You are as old as you think you are.
Keep the harness on. Your job is not
done-Milwaukee Journal.

One OF Natures Queer Products That
Are Found In Africa.
The WelWitschia mirabilis Is a won
der of the vegetable kingdom. It
grows on the barren land of the west
ern side Of Africa, where rain is al
most unknown and the only moisture
is that from dews which fall at night
DR.. Welwitsch, an eminent scientific
traveller. The welw1tschia is tree
which lives for many years, many
specimens being estimated as more
than 100 years old.
Every year Of it's life increases it's
size, yet it never grows higher. Ris-
ing just above the ground this strange
plant, looking like a rough round table,
regularly enlarges by adding concen-
trio layers to it's circumference The
fat upper surface of the trunk is very
hard and dark, resembling in color and
texture the crust of an overbaked loaf.
The trunk attains the size Of from
fourteen to eighteen feet in circum-
ference, but is never more than few
inches above the ground.
The welwitschia is remarkable in
the fact that it never loses it's first
two leaves and never gets any more.
These leaves increase in size year aft
er year until they attain the length Of
six or eight feet OR more They are
fat and leathery and frequently split

THE MARQUIS PAID.
HOW the Famous Surgeon Velpeas
Treated q Free Patient

How the Famous Surgeon Velpesss
Treated a Free Patient.
The famous surgeon Velpeau was
visited one day at his house during the
consultation hour by a marquis re-
nowned for his closeness. Velpeau in
formed the marquis that an operation
was urgent and that the fee would
amount to 1000 francs. At this the
marquis made a wry face and left A
fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, while max
ing his rounds in the Hospital de la
Charlie, had his attention attracted
by face that seemed familiar to him.
In answer to his inquiry it was stated
that the patient was footman of a
nobleman in the Faubourg ST. Ger
main. The surgeon found that his
case resembled in every particular the
somewhat unusual one for which the
marquis had consulted him fortnight
previously. He refrained, however,
from making any comments.
Three weeks after the operation,
when the patient was about to be dis
charged, Or. Velpeau called him aside
and exclaimed: "Monsieur, 1 am ex-
tremely lattered and pleased to have
been able to cure you There is, how
ever, a small Formally with which
You will have to comply before l can
sign your exeat-that is, you will have
to sign a check for 1000 francs in be-
half of the public charity bureau of
your metropolitan district" The pa
tents face became livid. "You can do
what you like about it," continued the
doctor, ''but if you refuse all Paris
will know tomorrow that the Marquis
de D. adopted the disguise of foot
man in order to secure free treatment
at this hospital and to usurp the place
which belongs by right to a pauper,"
OF course the marquis paid.

A STRANGE DELUSION.
Why So Few Prisoners Escape Fro1
the Andaman Islands,

Why So Few Prisoners Escape From
the Andaman Islands.
The number Of convicts who have
succeeded in making their escape from
the Andamans is comparatively small,
the natural difficulties Of almost i'm
penetrable jungle with which the is
lands are densely covered and the wide
stretch of sea separating them from
the Indian or Burman mainland pre-
senting almost insurmountabIe obsta-
cles to the enterprising runaway.
Among a large number of the con.
v1cts there is curious belief preva-
lent that the Andamans are in reality
part of the mainland Of India, the
long sea voyage being merely ruse
on the part Of the sirkar, which en-
deavors to deceive them as to the real
position of the settlement by making
the ship that brings them go round in
circle for several days before landing
them in the harbor Of Port Blair
Many Of them accordingly are firmly
convinced that if they can only sue
coed in making their way through the
belt of jungle that hedges them
they must eventually find themselves
back in their own country, and not
even the disastrous fate of the mis-
guided few who from time to time
make the attempt only to perish miser-
ably Of starvation or by an Andama-
nese arrow is sufficient to discourage
them or to destroy their faith in this
astonishing Observation-Disclosures Mail.

A QUEER ANIMAL.
The Ermine Is One Thing In Sum-
mer ard Another In Winter.

mer AID Another In Winter.
The ermine is a queer animal. 1t is
one thing in winter and another thing
in summer That is strange state
ment, but it is true, for in winter the
animals fur is as white as snow and
is called the ermine. In summer it's
fur turns reddish brown on the upper
part of the body and light yellow on
the lower part The animal is then
known as the stoat.
This change is quite familiar to nat
uralists, but not to unscientiic peo-
pie, and the ermine and the stoat are
therefore generally regarded as dis
tinct animals.
The fur of the ermine is much val
ued and is in great request. At one
time it was a mark of great royalty,
and the state robes of judges and mag
istrates were lined with it as an en-
blem of purity.
The ermine is SO cunning in its ways
that it is almost as difficult to catch as
1t is to "catch weasel asleep" In
fact about the only way to capture it
is to mark it's course from it's home
and then strew mud in its pathway.
When the dainty, fastidious little ami
NAL reaches the point in it's path
where the mud is strewn it will lie
down and subject itself to capture and
death rather than smirch one Of it's
snow white hairs.

NORMAN DISTRUST.
One Simple Way by Which a Travel

One Simple Way by Which a Travel
err May Disarm 1t.
The greatest obstacle to agreeable
Professionalism in Normandy is the pro-
verbal Norman distrust. The Nor
mans distrust Of the stranger takes
the form Of comical sort of terror Of
being financially duped, cheated or
swindled, not to say robbed-probably
because he is himself perpetually en-
gagged in financial duping
If the tramper does not succeed in
disarming by one means or another
Norman distrust his tramping life in
Normandy will be made burden to
him. Norman distrust can be disarm-
ed, but it cannot be disarmed in an in
slant, TAmericaine. 1t takes time
to do 1.-THE Norman is the last person
in the world to stand and deliver-and
there is no social device to be mention
ed in the same breath with drinking
for courteously consuming time.
If the tramper asks a simple ques-
ton at farmhouse he cannot decently
linger-not in Normandy-after his
question Is answered. If he makes a
petty purchase in a store his situa-
ton is only q trifle less awkward,
since he is morally obliged to retire as
soon as the transaction is completed.
On the other hand, he has only to or
der drink-in this country Of cider
and applejack every store and nearly
every farmhouse sells Hquor-to be en-
titled to sit at table for as long as
he wills it and to talk.-Booklovers

New Guinea CannibaIs.

The Papuan cannibal Of New Guinea
regards all deaths as having a violent
cause. Whenever a native dies from
sickness it is believed that the sick
ness resulted from some plot In order
to detect the murderer, therefore, parts
of the dead person are distributed
among the members of the household
and after time examined by certain
official in the community, who might
be said to correspond to an American

KEEPING WELL.
1t Is Better and More Economical

1t Is Better and More Economical
Than Getting Well.
I have often been Mortified by find
ing people at Carlsbad or Marienbad
or some other Of these severe water
cures who had come there simply on
their own initiative and without any
medical advice This is really tam
pering with ones constitution.
I am coming to the conclusion in
recent years that it is better to trust
to air and to exercise than to waters
for the renewal of the physical sys-
TEN. Since I have taken to golf I find
so much improvement in my health
that I no longer pine, as used to do,
for the water cure. But there again
every man must judge for himself. If
man has too profound love for the
pleasures Of the table it is almost a
necessity for him to go to one Of those
places where the system seems to get
a thoroughly complete washout.
But If man be of moderate appe-
lite and be able to keep himself well
under control even when temptation
is great, then he has no reason for
going to Homburg or Carlsbad or
Marienbad. He had better seek good
mountain air, play golf and keep out
OF doors.-London M. A. p.

had come, and these were half dead
of hunger and fatigue. The bears had
not arrived and there was no news of
the lions At the eleventh hour the
crocodiles reached Rome, but they re
at once in order that they might not

with the gladiators who were intend
ed to provide, as in all these beast
shows, the browning entertainment.
Twenty-nine of the Saxon captives,
whom Symmachus had chosen on ac-
count of the we'll known valor Of their
race, strangled one another in prison
rather than fight to the death for the
amusement Of their conquerors. And
Symmachus, with all his real elevation
Of mind,S was moved to nothing but
disgust by their sublime choice!
Rome in her greatest days had g1oried
in these shows. How could a man

customs which followed the Roman
eagles round the world? How many
times since then has patriotism been
held to require the extinction Of moral
sense ?-Contemporary Review.
