the section laborers on the Choctaw
branch from Ardmore, |. T., to Hope
Ark, have quit.
The strike next spread to Spring
field. Forty section men employed
in the Springfield yards, and ON the
seven lines of the Frisco diverging
from Springfield, went ON strike, in
an attempt to enforce an increase

LABOR SCARCE WORLD OVER.
Hopes to Recruit WorIrmen For Pam
anna Canal From Spain.

Washington, D. Through their
efforts to obtain labor for work on
the Isthmian Canal members of the
Canal Commission have found that
there is a dearth of labor in prac-
tically all parts Of the world. So
great is the demand for labor in con-
nection with railroad building and
other improvements on large scale
that countries which formerly have
sent thousands of laborers to this
country monthly are now using thier
labor at home

mission, has been in Spain for some
months recruiting laborers, and has
found many difficulties in obtaining
the Spanish workmen who have
shown themselves SO we'll adapted to
the conditions in Panama. Hundreds
of men whom he has sent to the
canal zone are writing favorable re-
ports to their friends in Spain, and in
a short time Mr. Park expects to send
a large number OF workmen.

hoped up the centre aisle, glancing
right and left at the villagers and
mourners, and eventually alighted on
the coffin, singing few notes at in

may be sewn together tightly, making
disk of the given diameter. Sew
the roll Of flannel to the centre Of the
disk so that it will be supported in
an upright position. the disk making
a circular base on which the roll
stands.
This will complete the bobechon,
and the illustration will show you
how it looks. Now for the game.
Stand the bobechon upright in the
centre. of an ordinary dinner plate,
and place on top Of the flannel roll a
small coin. Now have flexible cane
or rod, or piece of rattan, and with
the rod remove the bobechon and
the coin from the plate SO that neith-
er will fall into the plate. The coin
need not remain on the bobechon,
but both must fall absolutely clear
of the plate.
That is your problem. It sounds
easy; but try it.
The players agree beforehand on
the number of trials each shall have,
and some one keeps score. Each
plays in turn, taking one trial at a
time, and the first one takes his Sec
ond trial after all have had their
first, and SO on, until the number Of
trials agreed upon has been had by
each.
Whoever succeeds the most times
is the winner; and if prize be Of
fered, zest will be added to the game
To remove the bobechon and the
coin is not so easy as it seems. If
you place the rod near the base, and
slide bobechon and coin to the slop-
ing edge and then give a push, the
coin will fall off into the plate, even
if the bobechon is pushed clear of it.
There is one certain way to do it,
press the end Of the flexible rod on
the farther edge Of the plate so that
it curves downward The curve of
the rod will touch the bobechon just
where the roll is sewn to the disk.
pressing down on the base and
against the upright roll, as shown in
the illustration.
Now slowly move the bobechon,
with the coin on it, to the slope OF
the plate. and then, with peculiar
twist OF the rod, which you will learn
with practice. you may remove both
bobechon and coin clear of the plate.
This little toy is well worth max
ing. for you will find that it will
amuse every one who comes to see
you.-New York Mail.
