A WALK THROUGH ODE FOREST.

NYESTERDAY I walked through forest. it was
one of those hot August days when there is no
breeze stirring and when all the birds, save the
red-eyed vireo and the indigo bunting are sitting
silent in the depths of the woods. The most notice
able sounds those of the cTicets in the grass the
drowsy thrilling of cicadas and the occasional peep
of hyla from the foliage of the trees The coloring
Of the wild flowers had a strong suggestion of au-
tumn, for the godenrod was its best and mngling
with it were trumpet weed boneset and great
Of pearly everlasting All the shrubs along the road
side were hung with garlands of wild clematis and
along the borders of the forest itself even the darkest
spots were lighted by cumps Of the white wood
asters.
AS entered the woods the first living creature TO
catch my eye was a chpmunk, looking bright and
cheerful in spite of the heat He did not seem in
the least afraid, and he was munching briskIy at
blueberries which he had brought from dis

sauey little face peerng from his doorway as though
he were only waiting for the coast to be clear before
resuming his seat upon the rock above.
Soon struck an old forest trail family marked
by trees bazed years ago. The marks of the Ratchet

thousand deer have done Perhaps you have never
seen deer which had been torn by a bullet and
which had got away. Perhaps you do not know what
it means. 1t may mean that the wounded crea-

down and slowly bleed TO death It NAV mean that
he wanders about in agony for days. until a dog
bear a wildcat tears him down and makes an end
1t may mean that he has been blinded, or that his
teeth have been shot away; in either case he will
slowly starve to death. 1t may that the wound
viii become fy-blown-but the horror of this no man
must write of. In any case, the escape OF badly
wounded deer means misery and death for beauti-
full and comparatively harmless creature without the
slightest benefit to any man. Go then. if you must
and shoot the deer. but if you wound him and he
falls not at your first shot let false pride lose
another the right to bring him down And IL
after all he escapes then. you value the name OF

to track the deer and end his misery with the knife

sprang TO his feet, snorted, stamped and with his
broad white tail in the air leaped away among the

NEAT STRIKE SPREADS.
Continued from first page.

20 consider the proposal, and all hopes Of an i'm
mediate settlement was lost
President Golden OF the teamsters' union
strongly urged that the proposal be considered
and that another effort for settlement be
made. The sentiment of the meeting was over
whelningly against him. and the committee adj
journed without intending TO arrange any more
meetings with the packers. After falling in the
peace negotiations. President Golden advised the
members OF the international committee OF the
teaInsters' union that ais efforts TO bring about
peace to-day had been unsuccessful. and asked
their sanction for q sympathetic strike Of the

President Donnelly tonight said
II is useless to try TO convince the packers
that they Disseminated against our men; conse-
quently / have given up all hope Of securing

This know viii be the final result, as the entire
packing industry has been ordered out in sym

packers TO secure sufficient skilled labor 10 carry
On their business.
Despite the sympathetic strike all the plants
worked regular time to-day. although at a re-
duced capacity. At Armour & Co.'S plant it
said that 1850 hogs. 200 cattle and 200
sheep were slaughtered during the day. At the
other six plants similar amount Of work was
accomplished, and 1t was predicted by all that
tomorrow there would be decided increase in
the number OF animals slaughtered.
The receipts OF livestock to-day were unusual
ly small. being 1900 cattle, 5000 hogs and 5000
sheep. About two-thirds OF this stock was dis
posed OF TO packers. the remainder TO be dis
posed OF in to-morrow's market.
The precipitation of the sympathetic strike
seemingly caused no CONSERVATION among the
packers. For days they had been bringing into
the city hundreds Of skilled workmen many Of
whom had been put to work and others of whom
had been held IN reserve. Tomorrow morning
Armour g. Co. announced this afternoon, they
