take along and put up"
"What sort of a board?"
Something in the nature of tablet
something to nail upon the house for
the benefit Of the public at large. The
houses of Washington, Lincoln, Grant
and others are thus marked. I don't
claim to be such great man, but I've
been heard Of a few times, and 1t may
interest the present and future gen
erations to know where I was born
and passed my childhood days. I'll
get right at the tablet now, and you
can go to bed any time you wish"
1t was almost midnight before he
finished his work, and Mrs: Bowser
did not see the board until next morn
ing, when she got up two hours ahead
of time to see that he had an early
breakfast. The tablet read:
Was Born and Reared
The Well Known Esr. Bowser.
Whose Labors
In the Cause of Humanity
Have Made His Name
Household Word.
Please Remove Your Hat.
Mrs. Bowser was still surveying the
tablet when Mr.. Bowser came down
stairs and said:
II would have added several things
to 1t, but didn't want to give people
the impression that was the only
pebble on the beach. Don't feel bad
because | didn't work you In. Great
mems wives are never referred to in
tablets"
The only cloud appearing on the
domestic horizon before Mr.. Bowser
departed arose from the fact that the
cook had to hurry the breakfast and
the coffee was not up to the standard.
He was vexed and disappointed, but
contented himself with saying:
Cook, 1 am about to revisit the
scenes of my childhood. and you
should have got up fifteen minutes
earlier. Never disappoint one whose
mind is full Of tender recollecttons of
bygone days That is all. Let this
lesson sink deep into your soul, and
should you drop any more coal on the
cellar stairs l may be obliged to hold
a more extended conversation with
you"
Mr.. Bowser got away all right. with
his board under his arm and Mrs Bow

nee him off, and there was lump In

arizona" which comes to the Odeon
tomorrow evening, helds the attention
of both the casual playgoer and the one
who wishes to go deeper into the story
of the passion of life. The environment
is such that one finds ceaseless attrac-
ton in this bit Of dialogue or that bit
of action. The characters are such that
the soldier, the cowboy and the woman,
one after another occupy the principal
place. Having chosen an appealing
theme for his story, Augustus Thomas.
the author, also selected a collection of
people who would not only preserve all
the virtue which there is in the CEN
trail idea, but who would each, by con-
trast to the other, carry the central
plan and make this mimic world seem
like real one. The force of the char
acters and the excellence of the situa-
lions are backed up by dialogue which
is always brisk, as the talk of the west
should be, and which has a lightness
now, or a sombreness then, that is as
distinct as the mountains and the
shadows that form the background of
the scenes.

the motive power, caused by the
strike of the machinists and boiler
makers, and with a threatened strike
OF the blacksimths staring them in
the face, the officials of the Santa
Fe are making their last grand
stand play before making the newt
able settlement with the strikers.
The company showed the desperate
straits 1t is in last Monday evening,
! when force of company "detec-
ttves' (there is another and better
| name for them) attacked several Of
| the striking machinists who had con-
gregated across the street from the
shops, near the north gate, waiting
Tor the men who had taken their
places to come out 80 they could talk
to them, and induce them to quit
the employ of the company, if pos
sible.
The machinists have done the
same thing every day for fourteen
months lever since the strike began)
and this is the first time a disturb
ance has occurred, as the machin-
lists have never attempted to use
force or 1ntimation and are peron-
ally friendly with a large majority
OF the men who took their places,
understanding full well that If these
men were afraid of them and would
not talk with them it would not be
possible to convince them that they
should join the union and quit the
company. BY these peaceful and
common sense methods large num-
bers OF the more competent work
men In the shop have been induced
to quit, and that is what is hurting
the officials. And it is evident the
order has gone forth to the company
'bruisers" to use force to intimidate
the strikers and keep them away
from that part of town.
Their is Just this much about that:
The strikers know they have no
business on company property and
are liable to arrest If they trespass
there, and the company will have
no trouble on that score.
The strikers, most of whom own
property in Topeka and are law
abiding citizens, know they have a
right to the use of all public
thoroughfares and to talk to who
ever they desire. SO long as they do
1t in a proper manner. Should any
OF them insult or disturb the peace
Of any of the Santa Fe employees,
such employees can get proper pro-
lection and satisfaction, whose bu-
siness it is to keep the peace.
