Not only do they minister to the spir-

they also minister to their bodily
needs.

of and to protect from climate and
disease. these wise and prudent Sis

Inc Scotch papers of the year 1917
reported at length the life and death
OF . notable heggar. William Steven
son. About the year 1887 Stevenson
ana MS wife separated upon the
strange terms that the first of the
two TO propose reunion was to pay
the other $500 forfeit. The forfeit
apparently WAS never incurred, as
neither of them, as far as could be
ascertalned. ever saw the other again.
Inen stevenson took to the road as
beggar, and lived for thirty years a
free and jolly life; but at last, in his
S5th year, he was struck down with
an lncurable disease. When he came
within sight of death he sent for
baker and ordered twelve dozen burial
cakes large quantity of sugared bis
cunt, and an ample supply of wines

ana instructed him to make "a good.
SOUND. dry, roomy, comfortable coffin"
laying the stress upon its comfortable
ness. Then he summoned a grayedig-
ger and instructed him to dig "a com
portable grave" in a special spot in
Riccarton churchyard The old wom-
an who attended him was instructed
to find in a certain rag hidden in a
certain hole the money to defray all
these expenses. Having thus relieved
his mind of all anxiety as to his post
humous comfort, Stevenson died in
peace. After his death were found in
his garrett two bags-one full of silver
and the other of gold pieces-and a
box containing bonds for various
amounts, including one for $500
close upon $4,000 in all. This was be.
queathed TO distant relatives. with the
exception OF 800 to the old woman
who had attended him. and a large
sum to provide a feast for all the beg
gars OF Scotland who cared to come
to see his body lie in state"

NO COAL STRIKE.

The question whether there will be
coal strike next spring. when the an
thraclte miners will renew their con-
tracts with the coal operators and rail-
roads, Is n question OF more or less in
terest through the country. A staff
correspondent Of the Boston Transcript
has travelled through the coal regions
and investigated the situation there,
n strike is not probable. The miners.
he says. show a pacific disposition, and
the operators are not likely to be will
ing to assume the responsibility, since
in that event the American people,
probably, would ask for legislation to
prevent them IN the future from caus-
ing troubles Of that kind.
The miners Of the anthracite coal re-
gions have always been contendlng for
recognition Of the Mine Workers union,
as we'll as an elght-hour working day,
and adequate wages. The first OF these
points has been disputed by the opera
tors but they have nevertheless yirtu-
ally recognized the union. and therefore
there should be no further difficulty on
that question.
We certainly need-and the time viii
come when this need will be supplied

labor troubles, and this presupposes
the recognition Of the unions of laboiers
as well as the corporations We are

We do not know Of any practical means
for the settlement Of such questions as
occasionally arise between employers

violence? Internal peace must precede
