"Slip on this glass mask" /" said
the foreman. "You will need
it.n 4N
The visitor domred> the uncan-
ny mask of glass, and the fore
man led the way to the cyanide
of potassium department.
"We make 1000 tons of cyan
ide year." he said. "A dose of
five grains is fatal one Thus
our annual product is enough to
kill $500, 900, people.'
He opened door and u room
filled with writhing flames, dense
shadows, sparks, smoke and
weird figures in glass masks was
revealed. In the centre of the
room, in great cauldron, 100
pounds of motion cyanide of
potassium bubbled and seethed.
The flames glinted strangely on
the glass masks.
The foreman coughed.
"These fumes" he said, "are
wholesome. The men you see,
are all robust. | have these
weakly chaps, working here
among these strange fumes, to
pick up health and strength"
In another clean, cool room the
finished cyanide was stored. 1t
looked like crystalized white
sugar, good enough to eat.
"Good enough to eat," said
the foreman, gravely. "Well,
we have had men eat it. Four
men committed suicide in that
way. The fumes seem to create
in our men q desire to taste the
drug. They fight this desire,
most of them, successly, but they
feel it, the same as workers in
coffee plants want to chew the
coffee beans, and some feel it so
strongly as to succumb. New

Strange Sensation Felt by Little
Boy.

The Altman youth who was
run over by train on the four
mile grade between Tullahoma
and Normandy, and whose right
leg was amputated Saturday 4th
inst, suffered great pain until
the Sunday following. The little
fellow is only about 13 years of
age, and stood the shock of the
surgical operation, with great
nerve, but after the amputation
of the limb he experienced much
pain--a sensation that his toes
were being cramped and that
there was something between his
toes which gave him great pain.
So great was the pain and so i'm
Fortunate was his pleadings for
relief that it was finally decided
to exhume the amputated foot,
which had been buried near the
place where the accident occurr-
ed. Upon investigation it was
found that the toes on the foot
were pressed downward and un-
der in u most cramped position
by cloth bindingin which the
member had been wrapped, and
there was a small piece of cinder
between two of the toes. The
toes were Strengthened out, the
foreign matter removed and the
disconnected pedal extremity
reinterred, since whic' time the
patient has been al most free
from pain and has been resting
entirely easy. Now, the ques-
tion that is puzzling the minds
of those who have been watching
the case is, what connection
could there be between the buri-
ed foot and the .lesSancsaof the
boys body.

Killed by Lightning.

The residence of Mr.. Sherwood,
who lives some distance from
Decherd, was struck by light
ming Sunday and Mrs. Sherwood
was instantly killed. Will, a
17-year-old boy, was also struck
and burned so severely that it is
impossible for him to recover.
Other occupants of the house
were shocked, but not otherwise
injured.
The house was struck in about
twenty places and set on fire by
the lightning, but the flames
were extinguished before the
house was totally destroyed,
Two fine horses and a colt be-
longing to an old colored woman
were aso killed by the lightning
during the storm.

Political Honesty.

Facts as expressed in recent

ner says: "Confidence is a
potent and indispensable factor
in business prosperity, and con
fidence is just as necessary for
the best results in politics. We
need a restoration of political
confidence secured upon a sub
stantial basis, and the safe basis
of political confidence is the
trustworthiness of men placed in
office. Personal confidence is es-
sential in every department of
human activity. An engine or
machine of any sort may be per-
fectly constructed and depended

A Tall Tree Yarn.

Scott Cummins, the poet Of
Winche ster, Woods County, was
a COW puncher in the Northwest
many years ago. His outfit came
to Snake River one day with g.
600 cattle. Cummins, with Il
poets license, relates what hap
pened:
"The river was too dangerous
for swimming, but after follow
ing the bank a short distance the
foreman found giant redwood
tree that had fallen across the
river. Fortunately the tree was
hollow, and, making a chute,
they had no trouble i'll driving
the cattle through the log to the
other side.
GAS the cattle had not been
counted for several days one of
the cowboys was stationed to
count them as they emerged from
the log. The count fell short
some 300 head, but about that
time distant lowing was heard.
"Their surprise may be imag-
ined when, on looking about
they found that the cattle had
wandered oil into a hollow
limb. kansas City Star.

upon to do its work accurately
and thoroughly, but the man
who guides and controls it must
be trustworthy, else the machine
may go disastrously wrong.
There.must be some political ma
chiuery or organization, but for
the right working of this ma
chinery we must densnd.upon
the men who control it. If the
men who are in charge of party
organizations are above political
wrong-doing the party ma
chinery need not be feared and
we may confidently expect the
Encouragement and prevention
of election frauds.
We hear a great deal about the
necessity of nominating and
electing the best and most trust
worthy Ven to public office, and
this should be a constant and
imperative demand upon the
part of the public, but it follows
that it is quite as necessary to
have the best and most trust
worthy men in charge of the
political machinery of every par
ty in every locality. Every man
who is officially connected with
party organization should be a
man who not only will not stoop
to the perpetration of any kind
of election frauds or Irregular
ties, but who will also exert him
self to prevent any such frauds
even in the intesest of his own
party. When the organization
of one party promotes honest
elections in every way possible,
and frowns upon any attempted
irregularity among its own party
workers, it is position to insist
upon honest methods by the 9TH
er party, and will not be content
to allow election frauds commit
ted by the other party to 20 un-
punished.
This is phase of election re-
form which should have the con
sideration of the people in every
eam@upity w3lc they strive
to secure the nomination anl
election OF the best available
men for legislative and all other
Offices, they should also strive to
select the best and most trust
worthy men for party delegates
as the delegations in convention
assembled establish the party or
ganization and put its machinery
in operation" Z"

CHILD LABOR.

Child labor is destined to bring into
the coming congress an issue as close
to the people, and as squarely moral,
as meat inspection and pure food
and as potent in stimulating into mo-
ton the great engines of public opin-
ion. Federal suppression of child Ia
Dor is to be accomplished by the power
to legislate where it's jurisdiction is
uncertain. Senator Beveridge has an
nounced that he will introduce bill
prohibiting the railroads from carry
ing as freight any article upon which
children of less than fourteen have
labored. This would, with practically
perfect effectiveness, stop child labor
in the cotton mills, in the coal mines,
in the glass everywhere
The twenty-frst century student of
the evolution of national legislation
in the United States will marvel at
the things that were done under the
authority of the third paragraph of
the eighth section of the first article
of the Constitution: 1.-The congress
shall have power to regulate COM
merce. among the several states"
Yet this provides about the only eff
fective means for the public opinion
of one region to master the will of
another; and there is no more reason
to doubt the constitutionality of this
child labor measure than of the pure
food and meat inspection bills.
