A MINERS TROUBLE
REACHES A CLIMAX AFTER YEARS
OF SLOW DEVELOPMENT.
A Settlement Happily Effected in the Case
of Henry Story in Time to Avert a
Serious Misfortune.

Settlement Happily Effected in the Case
of Henry Story in Time to Avert a
Serious Misfortune.
If all the troubles of the coal miners
could be adjusted as satisfactorily as
that which for many months disturbed
the happiness of Mr.. Henry Story, of $50
Muskingum avenue, GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
it would be most welcome relief for
both the men and their families.
The facts in the case were related by
Mrs. Story, who is very happy woman
today because her husband has had such
a fortunate escape from the calamity
that threatened him.
"My husband" says Mrs. Story, SIS
a very hard working man and has al
ways been very healthy, but some
months ago rheumatism got hold of him,
and made him suffer terribly. It would
soon have used him up if it had not been
for DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, which, we think, are the best
medicine in the world.
"He suffered so much in his legs that
he could hardly stand; his back hurt,
duu uO hdo otCh pain Ill LILO 1C1U
that he could not rest night or day. His
arm would turn numb and I would have
to rub and battle it in hot water. tried
everything could think of to give him re-
lief. At last he went to doctor, who
told him that his trouble had come from
hard work. The doctor gave him some
medicine, but it did not do any good.
SIN the meantime I picked up paper
and read about DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and thought my hus-
bands trouble might be with his nerves.
I got two boxes of the pills for him and
persuaded him to take them.
CATER he had taken the first box he
felt much better, and when he had fin
ished the second box he was better still.
So bought six boxes the next time and
he took four Of them, that is six boxes in
all. That is three months ago and he
has never had an ache or pain since and
can do hard days work with any
young man. We praise Dr. Williams
Pink Pills to all our friends
These famous pills effect radical cures
of all diseases of the blood such as
rheumatism, and of the nerves such as
neuralgia and partial paralysis. They
repair waste and give fresh vitality.
They are sold by all druggists.

lA been galloping through Six
SSeSSl Crossroads, sometimes sim
ys4$sSJ ely, oftener in company. At
/ o'clock the last posse passed through
on its return to the county seat, and
after that there was a long, complete
silence, while the miry corners were
undisturbed by a single hoof beat. No
unkempt colt nickered from his musty
stall. The sparse young corn that used
to nod and chuckle greenly stood rigid
In the fields. Up the Plattville pike
despairingly cackled one old hen, with
her wabbling, sailor run, smit with a
superstitious horror of nothing. She
hid herself in the shadow underneath
q rickety barn and was still.
Only on the Windy farm were there
signs of life. The old lady who had
sent Harkless roses sat by the window
all morning and wiped her eyes, watch
ing the horsemen ride by. Sometimes
they would hail her and tell her there
was nothing yet. About o'clock her
husband ratified up in blackboard and
got out the shotgun of the late and
more authentic Mr.. Windy. This he
carefully cleaned and oiled in spite Of
its hammerless and quite useless con-
dition, sitting meanwhile by the win
dow opposite his wife and often look
ing up from his work to shake his
weak fist at his neighbors' domiciles
and creak decrepit curses and denun-
cations.
But the Crossroads was ready. 1t
knew what was coming now. Fright
ened, desperate, sullen, it was ready.
The afternoon wore on, and lengthen-
ing shadows fell upon a peaceful-one

The sun dried pike. already dusty,
stretched its serene length between
green borders fecked with purple and
yellow and white weed flowers, and
warm blue and lavender CLOVIS in the
general pervasion of still. bright light;
the sky curving it's deep, unburnished,
penetrable blue over ALL with no sin
gle drift of fleece upon it to be reflect
ed in the creek that wound along past
willow and sycamore, dimpled but I'M
murmuring. A woodpecker's telegra-
ply broke the quiet like volley of
pistol shots.
But far eastward on the pike there
slowly developed a soft, white haze.
1t grew denser and larger and grad
ually rolled nearer. Dimly behind it
could be discerned a darker, moving
for hoo
the road.
A heavy tremor began to stir the air;
faint, manifold sounds, waxing, in
creasing. multitudinous rumor.
The pike assembled long, slight slope
leading west up to the Crossroads.
From thicket of ironweed at the
foot of this slope was thrust the visage
Of an understood girl Of fourteen. Her
fierce eyes examined the approaching
cloud of dust intently. A redness rose
under the burnt yellow skin and col
ored the wizened cheeks.
They were coming.
She stepped quickly out Of the tangle
and darted up the road. She ran with
the speed of a fleet little terrier, not
opening her lips, not calling out, but
holding her two thin hands high above
her head: that was all. But Birnam

Years ago the British parliament
passed a bill for the rebuilding of a Jail
at Chelmsford. 1t was decreed that the
prisoners should be confined to the old
Jail while the new n was building.
The new one, however, was to be con-
structed from the materials of the old
one. In the reign of King William Nv
a statute was passed fixing the punish
ment of fourteen years transportation
for a particular offense. 1t added:
Upon conviction, one-half thereof shall
go to the king and one-halffto the in
former" Just why the king should be
transported for half the term the person
who drew the act found it impossible to
explain, since he had merely made a lu-
dicrous blunder.

Baseball Notes of Interest to all
Fans in this Vicinity Where

Carteret will have n Sunday team
again this year. Joe Quin is the

Pete Agnew, who used to come here
with the Murray Hills, is now the
manager of a crack team at Harris

Jim Purcell, who was with the Mar
ions for a couple of seasons, has given
up baseball and is now a New York
fireman.
A change in the playing rules per-
mits two coaches on the line with
only one base occupied. The foul
strike rule has been retained.
Kid Carsey will n two teams
this season. The Nets will be located
at Equitable Park and the Yorkvilles,
his new team, at 90th street and
avenue A.
Two former Orange players are
connected with the Fordham College
team this year. Fred Smith is coach.
ing the team and Robertson, who
played first for Orange, will be used
in the box. Another one of the
pitchers is McI,ane, who twirled fol
the Marions IN 1902.
1t is likely that MoPhillips will be
called upon to do the bulk OF the
pitching for Manhattan College this
year as Minihan has gone south to
train with the Giants, McGraw hav.
ing promised him q trial. McPlillips
made lots of friends while here and
no hard er worker over stepped into

Larry Hesterfsr, the former Watsess'
ing pitcher, has disagreed with tie
Newark team over the salary question.
Larry would like to receive 1926 ~
his monthly stipend for puzzling the
bltters, but the Newark management
figures that his curves fall short OF be-
ing worth that sum by $50, and as {
consequence the southpaw has failed
to sign n 1904 contract. Hesterfer die

1t would seem that he is entitled tt

time 1t is q pretty big raise for Larry.
