An Egyptian smoker of hasheesh is
even a more helpless slave than the
Chinese opium iend. He knows that
in the end he will become a mailman,
yet he rushes toward the awful goal
with unrelaxed speed. With the
strange exaltation which first comes
to the smoker he feels himself floating
from cloud to cloud or alighting in the
gardens Of palaces all his own. Most
Of the hasheesh which Egypt con-
sumes comes from Greece From the
husks Of the hemp seeds and the ten
der hops Of the hemp plant the Greeks
manufacture greenish powder whose
fumes bring the ecstasy it's victims
desire.

why a Harpooner Is Also q Taber,

Among the old New Bedford whaling
families was that Of the Tabers. In
speaking of this fact to a representa-
tive of the family the other day, a man
who is member of a well known New
Bedford family himself, said:
''In the old whaling days the har-
pooners who sailed out of New Bedford
were very often Of your name. After
a time the name Taber came to be the
generic title of any harpooner, what
ever his name might be. Even to this
day famous harpooner is known as
Taber"

Even Kenseth, who died 1T his home
two miles west of this village on the 25' h
day of August, was one of the old set
tiers in town, having emigrated to this
country with his parents, Tosten E and
Agnetta Kenseth, in 1S48. They came
direct to Wisconsin, settled west of this
village on Section IL, where they resided
until Mr. Kenseth purchased the farm
where he has since resided. Mr. Ken
seth was born in Norwav 0n Jan 10, 1927
and was therefore at the time of his
death II years and six months old. He
was married in 1859.
During the thunder storm last Thurs
day evening lightning struck Thomas
O'Donnel's residence, playing some curl
Gus freaks. Mr. and Mrs O'Donnel were
in the sitting room and the report was
so sharp they thought it was close by
but did not realize that it was in their
home. Mr. O'Donnel went out into the
kitchen and discovered the wood box on
fire. The bolt came down the corner of
the house, ripped off little casing and
must have darted around the room in
great shape, as glass vase setting on
the table was found with little hole in
it about the size Of a buckshot. The
lamp was extinguished and a plat
ter, setting on the table, cracked in two.
Mr. and Mrs O'Donnel did not feel the
effects of the shock and were surprised
to see the amount of damage done.

morning work was to be resumed I'M
der that contract. 1t was charged by
the packers that the union broke the
agreement by this act, and since then
the organizations steadily lost ground.
In Chicago few members deserted,
and in other packing centers thousands
abandoned the fight. Desperate means
were reSOrted to to stem the tide. but
the packers continued to operate their
plants with better and better success.
At the last the only thing left for the
union was complete surrender

that the employers would prefer to

End Comes at Union Conference.
The end really came in the meeting
Of the joint conference board during
the afternoon. President Donnelly of
the butchers arose and suddenly took
the position of leader which he for
merly was supposed to hold. BY an
unexpected exhibition of backbone he
brought this talk of further war to
close. He told the representatives of
the various unions that the executive
board of his organization had deter
mined to call off the strike The I'M
ion was going to pieces, he said, and
the members were suffering. No mat
ter how the others regarded the move,
said Donnelly, he, as president of the
butcher wOrkmen, would order the
fight abandoned. Vice President c.. E.
Schmidt of the union followed Don
nelly in the same vein. The result of
this display Of courage was that the
joint board voted it's approval of the
peace course.
