BILL MAGiE Ut PINE NUT
(By Sam Davis,)

(By Sam Davis.)
Twas dreary day at Pine Nut, and
gloom was everywhere;
There was sadness in the little camp and
sorrow in the air.
A more doleful set of faces one wculd
not care see.
The day the boys laid out the corpse of
poor old Bill Magee
Twas pneumonia or whiskey-they
couldn't qui.e decide
That sent the fieeting S, vi of Bill across
the Great Divide;
But with veiy little wrangling over hfe's
extinguished lamp,
They arranged mighty funeral to ad-
vert.se the camp.

scarce foot of soil;
But NV the boys of Pine Nut said such
things had had their day,
And they'd bury Bill with socks on. in
the decent Christian way.
SO they hired a Carson preacher of noted
funeral skin,
And agreed ON forty dollars for some ex-
ira words for Bill

But this man was no CRATER, but my own

At 2 o'clock the coffin passed through
Bill's wide cabin door.

hold the coffin up.
Then followed tall Niles johnson and his
little brindle pup.

They Say the Meat trust Is
Broken

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Homer d. Call, inter-
national secretary of the butchers or
ganization, said today:
'The greatest feature of the strike is
that the meat trust has been broken. In
stead of packers disrupting the union,
the disintegration of one of the greatest
combinations the world has ever seen has
already set in. For ten years, FIR m
1880 to 1900, the consolidation of the meal,
companies was carried on and from
l,Sfl packing plants in this country the
number was reduced to 7C0.
Now the tide will set In the other way.
The packers know that they have al
ready lost CT ntrol of a large part or
their business and that the livestock
dealers will do all that is possible to as
sist In the defeat. Since the strike the
Independent plants of Chicago, Louisville.
Cincinnati indianapolis. Pittsburg and
Springfield. Mass. have been working
night and day This trade will never be
recovered by the trust.
The public Is supporting the fndepend-
ent plants because of the damaging evi-
dence secured by the government against
the meat mono poly"
To aid the strikers, the Ice handlers
and the ice wagon drivers have refused
to supply refrigerator cars of the strike
affected packing plants. without ice the
packers are unable to ship meats except
for short. hauls and cannot export any
Non-union men are being pressed into

cent
Armour & Co. are using fruit cars for
shipping meats.
The yards were flooded with livestock
today. Complaint was rife by representa-
tives of country shippers. Before the
days shipments arrived there were 90
600 hogs In the pens and between 2.0ou
and 5000 cattle. The sheep alone had
been sold. The packers said go por-
tion of the stock could not be handled by
the packing plants until tomorrow.
The packers announced today that they
would attempt to import no more un-
skilled labor. This news was declared by
the strikers to be a bait to them in the
hope of breaking the union ranks

WOMEN NOT INFERIOR no MEN

We talk about the inferiority of
the woman's mind as compared with
man; that she is not capable Of
thinking and reasoning and reach
ing logical conclusions. If she is
not, then she Is just what the present
system and the systems of the past
have made her. II her Intellect
has been curbed so that she could
not use il how can we expect
strength of mind ? 1t is only
through the use of the mind that it
become strong, and the more wo.
men learn to use their minds the
greater their mental strength will be.
Parents should, therefore, see that
every girl in the family has abund-
ant opportunity to develop her own
latest power, to give it practical ex-
preston in the world so that she
can feel that she is 4 real necessity
in the world, that she is no more de-
pendent on others, than others are
dependent on her. She must bring
to life the spirit of independence
and self reliance wherein she is not
afraid to think and act for herself.
There will 6e fewer false marriages.
fewer broken hearts, fewer ruined
lives when the same self reliance
enters into the womIn's life that is
now To be found IN the life of man.
She will follow the de.ates of her
heart rather than the dictates of
convenience as too often occurs
when entering into the marriage
state.
Some may think it will take away
from the chivalry of life. Better
that 1t should do SO than men
should lose respect for women. In
the most howery days of chivalry
there was not the same degree of
respect for women as there is at the
present time when she is showing
herself to be the equal of man in
many avenues of life. Idle senti-
that brings no good with it is of
little use to anyone.
