Shorty Longs Escape.

'"There used to be cigar store round
the corner of Fifth avenue and Wood
street." said an old timer, where they
had wooden Indian which stood on a
platform during the day, but was al
ways taken in at night to save it from
mutilation by the boys about the neigh
borhood. Shorty Long was one Of the
we'll known characters Of the town, an
all round good fellow. who was always
out for fun. On one occasion he started
a hurrah on Fifth avenue near Smith
field street and was pursued by the pO-
lice, who gave him 4 hot chase down
the avenue and were in a fair way to
overhaul him when he rounded the cor
ner and sprang on the box where the
Indian was to be found during the day.
There he took a position as much like
that of the wooden chief as possible,
and as he posed with outstretched arm
the bluecoated guardian Of the peace
galloped past and disappeared down
Diamond alley, while the cause of all
the trouble left his pedestal and started
out for some fresh amusement."-

who was standing behind his masters

minutes longer, and the readers sole

your pardon. Mr.. Whistler, but l think
l overheard your servant telling you
that lady vas waiting to see you"
"Oh," said be- ''let her wait; let her
wait! I'm mObbed with these people"

Tibet. the Strange Land.

1t is a wonderful country and a
strange people Think of a tract of
land where hot springs abound, round
which the deposits are of such rain
bow tints as blue, purple, green, red
and yellow 1t is easy to imagine that
the landscape effects of such cOloring
are wondrous The social customs Of
the people are scarcely less astound-
ing. Polygamy is common where the
men are rich enough, for wives seem
to be question of wealth. When pow
erty compels them, several men will
have one wife in common. Brothers
usually enter into those strange part
nerships. The people rarely wash,
finding it warmer to be dirty. The men
anOint their faces with butter, while
the women stain their countenances
mahogany color with wood chips and
lacquer the bridges of their noses jet
black. Cleanliness is an uneSteemed

All the energy of life is derived ulti-

which in passing through the air forms
ammonia and oxides of nitrogen. These,
being carried by rain into the ground,
are the constant source of nitrogen for

life. much larger quantity of energy
is well known to be taken direct from
the sunshine. by plants and used in
their anabolic processes. This energy
is appropriated by animals in their

UNION MINERS a-AY sTT KE
Men See Plot to Reduce Wages and Con
vention Will Decide on the
To Pc, prr


vention Will Decide on the
Policy To Be Pursued.
indianapolis, Jan. 19.-RedUctions
in wages in the past two months, re-
sulting apparently from a preconcerted
move on the part of the operators, may
result in a general strike of the 325.
600 union miners of the country. In
three states operators are making eff
forts for further reduction, and the
convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America, which is holding it's
session, is expected to take action.
The cut in wages ON which the del
egates will base their action. is re-
garded as the work of the aSSOcia ton
of operators. If this reduction is per-
mitted, it is argued, further reductions
will follow. Prompt and energetic ac-
ton is held the only manner in which
the union can protect it's interests. AL
though the situation is considered Sc
rious, none of the national officers will
forecast the probable outcome.
The convention will be in session
probably ten days, when the members
will enter into joint convention with
the opera tors Of the central competitive
field, embracing western Pennsylva-
MIA. Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The
joint convention will fix the wage scale
for the miners of that district, and the
declaration of war, if one is made,
likely will come then. There are in
the United States 100000 miners, of
number $4,000 now are on strike, 1O,-
900 in the west, 5000 in the Myers
dale district and 1000 in West Vir-
pinia
