load of imported laborers recently
brought to Sturgis, KY. by the West
Kentucky Coal company were Undue

coal properties and that they did
not know a strike was on. Many of
them were members of the union.
The company have not yet been

expecting another carload of men,
and despite tine labor troubles are
preparing to operate on a large scale.
Their latest move was the purchase

he is immensely enthusiastic, for he
certainly has no great luck at the
game, though he calls it the best sport

chance to play, in spite of the expert

this time that he almost invariably

heard this. Wherefore he proposed a
game, and when he was told that
American gentlemen never play for
money with their guests, he was SO
keenly cut up, as we'll as SO
insistent, that in the end table
was formed, and somewhere along
about one o'clock we began play. We

NATURALIST WAS AT FAULT
Man OF Learning Failed to Identity
Very Common Animal from
Description.

One of the professors at great university
in Scotland recently wrote to an eastern
university to the following effect:
Walking in the dusk through the grounds
Of the university the other evening, my at
tention was arrested by a low murmuring
sound near me, which was neither hiss nor
whistle. On looking | saw a creature lying
on the ground, larger than a cricket. TWO
antennalike protuberances projected above
the eyes. 1t had no wings; and the covering
of its body VS. variegated, though certainly
not like down.
Mindful of the danger to myself, Ibid not
venture to turn it on its back, so as to count
the legs. On the ground lay small quantity
of snow-white substance, which had evil
IDENTIFY exuded from the body. Can any OF
your professors identify the creature from
this imperfect description"
The naturalist connected with the eastern
university fell into the trap-baited, prob
ably, especially for him. He wrote learn.
edly about various insects, and concluded
that the one observed must be one of two
whose long Latin names he gave
t'The antenna-like protuberances are
used for burrowing in the ground" he
wrote, "and these insects secrete a. fluid
which they have the power-ef ejecting to
protect themselves in case Of attack.
The tutor wrote again to thank the nat;
uralist for his information, and to say he
need not trouble him further, as he had for
tunately observed the creature again more
closely under exactly similar circumstances
and was able now to identify it himself as

HOT SPRINGS RESERVATION.
Superintendent Recommends Direct
Goverpmental Operation.

~ - }-AAA0kAtf1A 0ESA tNtANAAs
Washington, Oct. %. In his annual
report to the Secretary OF the Interior,
the Superintendent of the Arkansas
Hot Springs reservation recommends
direct governmental control of the
springs there. He says:
Experience has demonstrated that
the present system Of operating the
baths through the medium Of private
lessees is in conflict with public opinion
and incompatible with local conditions,
and that the Government should, as
soon as practically consistant with
existing conditions, assume absolute
control Of this reservation and operate
the bathing interests under Government
supervision and control, thereby elimi-
mating the spirit of commercialisln
which is manifest under present con-
ditions, and through scientific equip
ment, perfection of system, order, disci-
pline and intelligent direction extend
the benefits to be derived from the
healing waters, with rates adjusted to
cover prudent operating expenses and
necessary improvements. The present
system, If it ever had any meritorious
features worthy Of consideration, has
outlived its usefulness and should be
supplemented by full Government con-
troll in the management, operation
and supervision of the baths

G. HE was in rebellious mood. II
Ik seemed to her that she had al
was been considered old She wished
that people could realize how girlish
she was at heart, despite her so years
and the gray hairs that clustered
round her forehead.
Married at II, Mrs. Hoyt had been
mother before she was 20 and q
grandmother before she was 40. Now
she was visiting her son, and was
secretly annoyed at the respectful
consideration shown her by all the
family.
Her daughter-in-law treated her as
il she were 20; The children were
never allowed to play with her long
lest she weary Of their lively antics.
This morning young Mrs. Hoyt had
been summoned to neighbor's bed
side, and had left Eleanor with strict
injunctions to be very good to grand
ma and very quiet. 1t was compare
lively easy to obey the first order
but how was such a bright-eyed tom
boy as 14-year-old Eleanor to carry
out the second?
Quiet? Quiet, when the ice on the
pond was like glass, and this was
probably the last skating of the sea
son? Of course it was lovely to have
grandma visit them, but how pleasant
it would have been had she waited un
til spring!
Eleanor flushed at the inhospitality
of this thought, and was glad to be
distracted by knock at the door. In
came Clara Roe, with glowing cheeks
and sparkling eyes.
20 Eleanor, put on your things
right away!" she cried. THE skating
is the best we have had. Every one
else is there"
81 know" said Eleanor, her liz
trembling a little, "but-but mother
has gone away, and have to stay
with grandma"
"Oh!"> Clara's bright face clouded
at the thought of her friends disap
pointment, then cleared as she said:
But why not take your grandmother
too?"
Take grandma" echoed Eleanor
as if Clara had proposed to take the
house and barn.
Certainly" said Clara, in her posi-
tive manner. Il believe she'd like it
She looks as if she could have as
much fun as any of us, if she only had
a chance"
Eleanor made no reply, and aftel
moments hesitation Clara said:
Anyway, I'm going to ask her!"
She marched straight into the sit
ting-room, where grandma sat with
her knitting, looking out at the bright
sunshine. Mrs. Hoyt looked up with
welcoming smile; she and Clara hat
been friends since their first meeting
Mrs. Hoyt," said Clara, putting 8
persuasive arm about grandma's neck
don't you want to, go skating witt
us?"
Down went the knitting, up went
Mrs. Hoyt's eyebrows. Skating! A
grandmother skate!
"The ice is like glass;" Clara con
tinued, eagerly, "and it may not last
another day. We have an extra pail
