Vanishing Rural Industries.

The gradual cessation, one after
another, of the countryside industries
is one of the principal reasons why the
peasant owner has vanished from the
land Thatching and woodcraft have
been killed by rural councils, with
their craze for slated roofs, and by the
substitution of other materials for
timber. The cottager can no longer
even burn wood, but must buy coal,
since his f1replaces are not fashioned
for the consumption of fagots.-Lon-
don Estates Gazette.

Belts Deed Of Generosity.

One of the many persons whom tho
late Alfred Belt had befriended repaid
him with ingratitude and abuse.
Later the migrate fell on evil times.
Though down in the gutter, he still
had little shame left and would not
ask Mr.: Belt for help. The South A.
rican. diamond magnate sent for one
of the unlucky ones friends and said:
Go and see So-and-So, ask If he wants
any help, and give it to him, but don't
let him think it is from me. I have
had a difference with him and per-
haps it would annoy him!"

False Alarm,

From the valley there came a cloud
of dust and a distant rumble. The
man of the stone age rushed up the
mountain and perched himself on the
highest peak.
'Shucks!" exclaimed the fugitive,
as he slipped down to the valley again,

FORCE ALL OILERS TO WORK.
Scarcity Of Labor in tho Harvest
Fields Of the Northwest.

1dlers In southern Washington must
either enter the harvest field or go
to jail. The Old blue j law of New
England that The who will not work
shall not eat has. been revived
throughout the wheat belt of this
state and northern Oregon at the in
stance of farmers whose chagrin upon
having an offer of So a day and board
rejected by loafers must be appeased.
Accordingly the town councils Of
Pullman, Colfax, Garfield, Pomeroy,
Palouse and half dozen other towns
have rendered it possible to inflict
double penalty for vagrancy, a fine
and Jail sentence of thirty days be-
ing imposed, and the prisoner being
required to work OH a specially pro-
vided rock pile in the broiling sun.
The definition of the term "'vagrancy"
has been enlarged in it's application in
the wheat belt until it practically de-
wolves upon the accused to show that
he has soi1e means Of support, involv-
ing some physical effort on his part,
for If it is not visible to the police
magistrates, the prisoner will surely
be- held for vagrancy. '.':s , l.=.= +

DISSENSlONS STIR
BRITISH CABINET

LONDON, Nov. 27.-There have
been some very serious dissensions iu
the British cabinet recently, of which
the general public have no knowledge.
The most serious concerned Prince
Louis Of Battenberg, who is regarded by
experts as one Of the ablest and brain
lest officers in the British navy. Great
pressure was brought 10 bear from ex-
allied quarters 70 create Prince Louis
a third sea lord az the admiralty The
extreme Radicals, however, strongly
opposed the suggestion. chiefly on the
ground that Prince Louis was a royalty
of sorts, and therefore could not be
expected 10 be as brainy as a Radical
A very much stronger objection. now
ever, put forward by other members of
the cabinet, was that Prince Louis was
one OF the Kaiser's most intimate
friends. and that IL would be extremely
unwise TO place the prince in the posi-
ton Of knowing all the secrets Of the
British admiralty.
The opposition proved overwhelming
and now Prince Louis has been given
the post OF second IN command OF the
Mediterranean squadron.
