Gently fought out to a conclusion by
one Moses Adams. who owned a saw
mill at that place. and whose long
time amicable relations with his en-
ployes was severed by the demands
of the latter, which he contended he
could not concede without loss of not
only his profits but his capital.
Having received his answer. his
workmen struck. Undismayed, Moses
Adams set about to secure other
workmen to take the places which
the strikers had abandoned The
strikers went into camp. surrounded

out, hard and fast, all the strike
breakers who came within the lines.
Moses Adams fought his fight out
side the armed ramparts for whole
month; then he concluded to surren-
der. His manner of doing so was i'm
strict accord with the most honored
rules of war. Instead of yielding his
mill to the strikers as so much loot
or of selling or leasing it TO some one
who would re-enlist the strikers in his
service, Moses Adams courteously in

and retreat.
He did precisely what Kuropatkin

FEROCIOUS AFRICAN TRIBE.

A hunter of big game in Africa
gives description of a tribe of ma
tives whom he found there. the Wat
wa. "These natives" he says, live
in the swamps, their staple article OF
diet being fish and flour made from
the seed of the water lily, although
during the rains they grow patches
of cassava root and sweet potatoes at
the edge of the swamp.
They smear their bodies with mud
to protect them from mosquitoes and
are extremely dirty and evil smelling
in consequence. They are very low
down in the scale of humanity and
have bad reputation among tribes
living on the high ground, which rep
utation they upheld during our visit
We engaged several Watwa natives
as carriers. but they only came to
see what they could steal One day
| shot a reed buck in sight of the
camp, and left two watwa to carry I
In while l went after a hartbeest, bur

1t was no use following them into th'
swamps, as they knew every inch o
the ground and water.
| They had small canoes hidden ev
erywhere, and Immediately the
crossed a stream they sunk the cano
again where they alone knew wher
to find 1t. Our boys were afraid I
follow them, as they used poisone
arrows and sometimes set poisone
stakes in the tracks leading to thei
haunts."

WORLDS COPPER MINES.

Walter Harvey Weed, in a recent
number of the Mining Magazine. gives
the following interesting facts: The
production of metallic copper in the
United States for 1903 was 69S.O44.-
SIT pounds of value of $91, SOC. .O06.
In 1902, A per cent, or about 2S9
million pounds were produced from
an area a mile long and one-half
mile wide. at Butte, Mont, 26 per
cent or about 1876 million pounds.
from strip of country two to six
miles long, extending through the
center of Keeweenaw Peninsula
Mich; and IS per cent, or 100 million
pounds, from four isolated districts
in Arizona; of the remaining II per
cent the greater amount comes from
Bingham, Utah; Keswick, Cal, and
Ducktown, Tenn.
The gold and silver mines of the
country, notably those Of Colorado,
contribute about one per cent of the
total production which is obtained as
IA by-product i'm smelling for the pre-
cious metals.
OF the six largest mines in the
world four are in the United States
the Anaconda mine of Butte itself

A man may possess splendid

would be pinched and frozen by the
wintry winds without the interven-

In a like manner the unprotected
moral nature of the immature youth,
If left to prey to the temptations of

How high is the moral standard

What is the standard of morals

saskatchewan and lberta,-contain
230. 900 acres of rolling prairie
wheat land, worth now but So TO $l2

that this vast area would make II
states of the size of Ohio, something
of the future of Canada may be inn
agined. The conquest of that

for which the sons of those pioneers
who conquered oregon, so years ago
are eminently fitted by nature and

these hardy sons are awake to the

Thomas E. Watson will not be
elected president and perhaps never
expects to be. But he does not need
that distinction to place him on the
list of the benefactors of the human
race. Thomas f. Watson is the faith
er of the rural free delivery system
which is now one of the greatest
blessings enjoyed by the American
people. While Mr. Watson was in
congress, he secured an appropriation
in 1892 for an experimental free de-
livery route, the first ever establish
ed in the United States. Congress-
men doubted the wisdom of this
''populist vagary' and it was with re-
luctance that the scanty sum was
ventured on this wild scheme" From
