wager. He was staying for fishing
holiday In the house of Sir Francis
Powell, the president OF the Scottish
academy. and while angling for trout
he happened to drop his eye glasses
into a deep pool OF the river. In the
evening he related his misadventure
10 his host and the guests. and said
that he was prepared 10 bet that he
would recover the pince-nez from the
bottom Of the pool His friends de.
clared that this was an impossible
feat. but Herbert Spencer still offered
To make the bet. His challenge was
accepted by one OF the visitors. Upon
the following morning Spencer re.
turned to tho house with the missing
eyeglasses. lie had fastened strong
magnet on the end Of his fishing nne
and 1ishod for the glasses until Il
came into contact with their steel
rims.

THE NEWS OF THE WORLD
TO A FINISH.
The Second strike OF butchers WIN
Make "a Fierce Fight.


The great sympathetic strike TO aid
the butcher workmen involves nearly
100000 men and will effectually tie up
the meat industry of the United States.
The packers had one last chance 10
avert the strike by acceding to the
propositions OF The unions before Mon
day. The packers. however, evidently
made up their minds 10 fight, as tele-
grams were sent ont through the coun-
try ordering non-union men rushed TO
the packing centers. The strike i'm it's
effect will be one of the most serious
in the history OF the nation. In fact.
if it lasts any length of'time, the coun-
try will find itself face 20 face with a
meat famine. The decision to call a
sympathetic strike was reached after
all negotiations between the unions
and the packers had been broken off.
The joint conference lasted from 9
a. IN. until noon The unions insisted
on the reinstatement Of butchers and
casing department workers within
forty-eight hours and all the other
strikers within ten days. The packers
absolutely refused TO DO this, contend
ing that the original agreement would
have to stand. Neither side would give
in one inch and finally the conference
broke up.
