Miss Johnson was an excellent teach
er, but her taste in dress, especially
head-dress, was 50 peculiar that even
her adoring pupils could net fail to
notice it. The yerdure which appeared
upon Miss Johnsons hat one season
was so gaudy that several wondering
comments were made by the boys.
I'm going to ask her what the green
stuff is, said one boy, yaliantly, in
spite of the vigorous objections Of his
companions. She won't mind, and
next nature-study class I'm going to
ask her, and see who's right So, red
in the face but stubborn, lie rose at
the end Of a lesson on wayside flowers,
in response to Miss Johnson's general
request for any questions which might
have come up since the last lesson.
I'D like to know about that green
stuff on your hat" he said, bluntly.

Persuasion That Broueh. Confession.

Did | understand you to say that

schoolhouse?" asked the magistrate,
addressing the dete' mined looking fe-

Yes, sir. he did" the woman re-

WHEN HE DOOR OPENS.

Sometimes it's early, early
or ever the farmhouse fires
Send up their incense pcarly
In wayering morning spires.
When the sheep in hooks of the meadows
Are lying still,
And the old wheel dreams In the shadows
Behind the mill,
Then I'm the hush Of the dawninS, in the
silvery mists and the dew,
God opens the door little way, and little
feet go through.
Sometimes it's when the wonder,
The hush and the dews have fed,
And nocutidc life pants under
The glare. of the noon o'crhead,
when the plOwman's burrows are creeping
over the land,
Or rises the whir of the reuping
On every hand
Or eyer the swath is finished, or the long
brown furrow is run.
TIE unseen door swings open wide, and
the strong mans work is done.
Sometimes when the lamps of heaven
And the hOmelier lights of earth
Burn dim in the lonely even,
on high. or beside the hearth,
When the children GO and the Chcery
Good nights are said,
And uaughts by the fire but a weary
And bowling head
Then opens the door where all roads end,
or run they east or west
And child and man and child again go
i'm and are at rest.

pauion.

Then, as one took the bit, the other

me, and wiped the sweat and dust from

A butler ran down the steps; a gar
dener and a stablc-boy hurried out OF

The fat butler went putting upstairs
and they followed, on each side OF
me.

them to the gardener, who was coming
behind-a Frenchman who prayed to a
saint as he saw my blood.

withered boughs and briers holding
cones of wrought fiber, each a citadel

TIMERS STRIKE IS
AM|CABLY SETTLED
Union Secures Material Ad-
vance in Wages and Less
Number Of Helpers.
Employers and Employees
Find Common Ground After
Meeting in Conference.

In another column will be found a
story dealing with the progress Of the
timers strike, but just as we go to
press we learn that an agreement has
been reached between the employers
and the union. The settlement, 1t is
understood is a compromise somewhat
better than is reported in the other
story. Timers are to get 40 cents an
hour to August 1st, and 421a cents per
hour thereafter. The helper question
has been fixed up so that one apprentice
will be permitted for every three
journeymen or major fraction thereof,
and one helper to every two men.
A section relative to arbitration in
the future was also adopted. With
some other slight changes in the rules
an amicable adjustment has been Sc
cured. The union at a special meet
Ing held at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon agreed to the compromise and at
tached their seal and signature to the
rules The employers are having a
meeting this afternoon and they will
no doubt vote to sign the scale. When
this is done the union will declare the
strike off, and all timers will return
to work today.
Those attending the conference were
Messrs. Burrell, McMartin, Deitz, Lam
dahl and Brown, for the employers,
and fifteen members Of the union. W.
E. McEwen acted as chairman Of the
conference, while Jas. Walsh, Grand
President of the L. T. P. A., was pre-
sent as an advisor. The meeting was
most harmonious. Each side treated
the other courteously, and throughout
the entire proceedings the kindliest
feeling was manifested. It is believed
that the result Of this conference will
be far reaching and will be the means
Of bringing the employers and timers
closer together than they ever were
before.
The members of the union were very
much pleased over the outcome for it
gives them material increase in
wages amounting by August list to 40
cents per day.

RAILROAD MEN
ARE SILENT

A special train containing a party Of
officials of the Wisconsin Central road
arrived in Duluth yesterday and left
for st. Paul In the evening. The party
was here in connection with the Lake
Superior & Southeastern road, the new
short line of the Wisconsin Central
to the head of the lakes. The officials
declined to give out any details, and
protested to know nothing regarding
the plans of the Lake Superior &
Southeastern. Reporters were all
steered against E. F. Potter, general
pressed much regret that he was not in
a position to give any information. He
said he did not know when the Lake
Superior & Southeastern will build into
Duluth, whether this year or next. 1t
had been supposed in Duluth up to
this time that the Wisconsin Central
was satisfied to have it known that it
was behind the Lake Superior &
Southeastern, and the unanswered
question was, who is behind the Wis
consin Central? There are numerous
men in touch with railroad affairs in
the northwest who think it is the
Grand Trunk. The members of the
Wisconsin General party were: w, L.
Bull Of New York. chairman of the
board of directors; Howard Morris of

w. SUPERIOR ST.
WILL BE PAVED

In the belief that West Superior
street from Eighth to Twenty-f1fth av
snles and Second street from Sixth
avenue west to Seventh avenue east
cannot both be paved this year on ac
count of limited funds. the board of
public works. it was said yesterday.
Will order the Improvement on the first
named. for which legal petitions are
filed.
Both petitions have been returned to
the property owners for more names.
which will bring them above the re-
CURED twenty-five per cent in the event
that some of the signers. are disquali-
ned, and the promoters of both i'm
provements are said to be rushing the
recognition first.
Money to replenish the permanent
Improvement revolving fund, out of
which paving assessments are origin
ally met has been coming in slowly.
and 1t was the opinion of members
OF the board yesterday that there will
be insufficient money with which to
carry out both improvements this year.
Petitions have been filed for both i'm
provements, but they are short the re-
qutred qualifications and were returned
for correction.
The contract for paving West Su-
pertor street, it is announced, will be
one Of the most expensive ever let in
this city. The estimate for paving the
street from Fourteenth to Twenty fifth
avenues with tar macadam is Sill ,659,
and with creosote blocks Sis, 349. No
estimate has been made for asphalt,
and to these figures must be added the
cost for paving from Eighth to Four
teenth avenues.
It Is estimated that the Second street
Improvement will cost $99557 for creo-
sote blocks, $96,846 for asphalt, $685. 1924
for macadam, and $59,989 for cedar
blocks
