THE MINERS OF BUTTE.

For Them the Town Is a Way sta
tton ON the Road to Nome.
Probably nowhere In the world is
there such a forceful, virile body Of
workers as are the miners of Butte.
Their are no graybeards. They are So
'cial rebels; not that they chant the
Carmagnole to the waving of the black
flag of anarchy, but in the sense that
back in the well-ordered civilization
Of the east they rebelled against pow
erty and pushed on to the frontier, big
muscled, red-blooded, determined to
sail the ship Of their destiny into pleas
anter places than their boyhood knew.
From the copper mines of Berehaven,
in the County Cork, from the coal
mines of Tipperary, from the tin
mines of Cornwall and from wherever
in western Europe men go down Into
the bowels of the earth for treasure.
the sturdy young men Of the mines
came to America, says Tom Watson's
Magazine. At the Atlantic seaboard
they heard the story of Mr.. Baer and
his partnership with God in the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania, Of
the company store and the company
shack, with its yellowfever paint by
way of decoration.
In company with their American
brothers they started across the con-
tinent to the Hooking Valley Of Ohio,
thence to the copper peninsula Of
Michigan, to the coal mines Of Illinois.
Missouri and Kansas, on to the gold
and silver lodes of Colorado, and Utah
and finally to the miners paradise OF
Butte, where eight hours is the days
work and sos the monthly wage.
Beyond, the Butte miner has his
eyes fixed on Alaska. Butte is but a
way station on the road to Cape Nome
Butte has public library and
churches that rank we'll with similar
institutions in any American city
They are well patronized by the min
ers. 1t has beautiful and costly public
buildings, hotels, business blocks ant
private residences.
Butte is rightly called the Gibraltar
Of trades unionism. Every conceivable
occupation is. organized, from the pin
boys in the bowling alleys and thu
shoeblacks on the streets to the re
porters on the daily papers, all ar
organized. Wages are high. Plumber
get So per day and printers get $6.5
for a seven-and-a-half-hour day.
1t is the proud boast Of Butte tina
the greatest mining camp on cart
has never had boom.

Randolph drew up the .remonstrance
of the burgesses against the threaten
ed stamp act in 1764. On Aug. 10,
1774, Randolph summoned the citizens
of Williamsburg, his residence, to meet
in order to protest against the uncon-
stitutionality of binding American
colonies by British statutes. He was
unanimously elected the first president
of Congress on Sept. 5, 1774.
He has been described by his con-
temporaries as an honest man, having
temper, knowledge, experience, judg-
mnt-above all, integrity-a true Ro-
man spirit" His sterling worth won
for him friends wherever he was
known. The men of his own colony
and those of other colonies Joined
Washington in their trust of the man.
He was one Of those great Americans
who were the bulwarks of the State
in time Of storm, pillar of righteous
ness and a rock Of truth.

Rats in the Bears Den.

A visitor to the zoo saw a curious
sight the other afternoon in the alb
sence of all other spectators.
It was half-past o'clock, and the
polar bears had received their din
ner of fish, beef bone, and long rolls
of French bread. They consumed the
fish and bread. and numbered up to
the entrance Of their cave to gnaw at
the beef bones as an after-dinner rel.
ish.
Some little squeaks were heard by
the visitor. Where the bears had
lately been a large mother rat and
ten baby rats. scurrying out from no
where, were feasting upon the crumbs
Of French bread.
The ratlets eagerly dashed here and
there, seeking all the crumbs in sight,
The mother acted more the part Of a
sentinel. eyed distrustfully the, lone
spectator. and admonished her brood
in deep-toned squeaks.
The crumbs were all gone and the
babies complained to their mother
that they hadn't had enough. She
finally led them up the rocky slope
to where the white-coated monsters
dozed before their den.
The bears glanced down out of half
open eyes, but made no movement
against the small scavengers. who
pounced joyously on new crumbs
and shreds of meat. 1t seemed as II
the bears were well accustomed to
the visits Of Mrs. Lazarus and her
flock.
The footsteps and laughter Of ap.
preaching sightseers suddenly caused
the mother rat to squeak a warning
and the next moment only the doing
polar bears remained In their cave.

Spoiled I'm Transit.

There is a Philadelphia, having a
summer home near Cape Cod. who
takes great pride in his cranberry
meadow. On one occasion this gentle
man was entertaining an Englishman

the first time in his life Of the dellcacy
