Beware of These Flowers.

From the Kansas City Journal.
1t Is claimed that the tulip is danger
Gus flower. Take a tulip of deep crimson
color, and inhale it with profound inspira-
lions and it will be apt to make you light
headed. You will say and do queer things
dance, sing. fight, swear and SO on. For
two hours you will cut up in this way.
Afterward you will be depressed.
The poppy is another flower supposed
to be dangerous. A young woman of a
nervous temperament. II she fingers amcng
a bed of peoples. will grow drowsy, the
same as If she had smoked pipe or two OF
opium.
In Asia Minor, where the opium manufac-
turers cultivate vast fields of peoples, tour
lists inspecting the beautiful flowers often
become altogether incapacitated. They get
SO sleepy they can hardly talk. They reel
in their gait. In some cases they have to
be put to bed. f

The children of the family-one is apt TO

penses When the baby comes. be 1t ever
SO welcome, the mother. has more work
to do. AS 1t grows into childhood and on
to maturity, 1t is more and more care.
worry and expense. And so the little chill
dren, those innocent trespassers. are borne
with as patiently as possible until they
grow to a successful manhood or woman
hood. Few stop to think deeply about this.
or it would be plainly seen how erroneous
the impression.
The children of the family. instead of
being burdens, are burden-bearers; small
saviors who are daily means of grace, and
who lead the world-worn parents once
more into the paths Of innocence and peace.
A baby's tiny hand clasped around his
mothers finger has stilled heart-throbs of
sorrow and of bitter trouble; baby's arms
around his fathers neck have brought to
the mans weary brain a renewal of that
love which is all that makes life livable.

Senator Foster Has a Fight.

Senator Foster of Washington chatted
with the President about some Of the po-
litical affairs of that state. Senator Fos-
ter is a candidate to succeed himself, with
much strong support and a number OF
strong opponents. Among these are ex-
Senator John L. Wilson of Seattle and two
others of less prominence. Messrs. Sweeney
Of Takoma and Pyles of Seattle Senator
Foster and ex-senator Wilson have not
gotten along well together in political mat
tiers in their state and their clash for the
Senate promises to be a most interesting
one Senator Fosters friends feel that he
has made a good record in the Senate and
has represented the state most satisfac-
torily, and they insist on his being return
ed. The Wilson supporters declare that his
public life in Washington Is a guarantee
of what he can accomplish if he is returned
here. The legislature will meet January .
and 1t is the understanding that Senator
Foster will start out with more votes than
the combined opposition.

the south on that trip. He announced that

home of his mother for long time, prob
ably not next year. He said that his in

ADVISE RETURN TO WORK
President Mitchell Will Meet Members Of
the Union at Knoxville Friday-IOint
Meeting of Strikers and Operators
Saturday Next.

KNOXVILLE, Oct. 1O.-Throughout
district No. 10, United Mine Workers Of
America, meetings we're held today by
T. L. Lewis, national vice president;
w. R. Farley, national board member
for Alabama, and w, B. Wilson, nat
ional secretary-treasurer Of tho organic
alton. Pittsburg, KY, Jellicos Tenn,
Pineyille, KY, and Briceville, Tenn,
we're the places selected for to-days
meetings while on Wednesday meetings
of the same character will be held at
Cum berland Falls and Pine Knott, KY.
The object is to impress upon the
miners the fact that now is not the time
for any strike, and that the proper
thing for them to do is to accept the 7
per cent. reduction offered by the opera
tors in the recent conference.
On Friday President John Mitchell
is expected here to attend a meeting OF
the miners, at which time it is believed
tha the men can be induced to accept
the wage scale.
On Saturday joint meeting Of oper-
ators and miners will be held. 1t is
thought that scale will then be salts
factorily arranged. The efforts OF the
officers of the United Mine Workers to
bring about a settlement of this strike
puts the organization in a different
light from what it has usually appeared
heretofore. e.-Chattanooga Times.

quarters of the union miners today the
statement was given out as before,
that the union men were remaining
firm and loyal to their organization,
and had no complaint to make of the
situation.
The increase of wages announced to,
day will amount to considerable, in as
much as the coal production is incress
ing steadily in this section. A commit
