MINERS ARE

Fruit

New York, April 3.-Although MOTH
ing has occurred to change the situa-
tion. the general expectation Is today
that the conference between the sub
committee Of the anthracite operators
and the miners will bear fruit.
There is a strong optimistic feeling
among the miners that something will
happen to greatly relieve the situation
President Mitchell is quoted as say
ing that the miners will stand firm fol
what they have asked, but he felt con-
fident the operators win not continue
the attitude they have assumed in the
past.
Notwithstanding Mitcheirs iirm
stand It IL considered likely that the
scale committee would rather make
concessions than to declare a strike a.

she screamed; and, at her words, old

A second report mingled so closely

All had happened so quickly that
LATTE, who was, for an instant, I'M

reason of the confusion, no one except
LATTE had comprehended any mean

American Poetry.

American poetry is occasional. not
professional; something aside from
the days work, instead of being the
days work. :
Browning wrote a poem a day fol-
a stated period, applying his every
working hour to the task undertaken
Browning is an example of profes'
sional poet. We cannot boast of such
an example.
John Burroughs boasts of only
one poem called Waiting" Haw
thorne and Webster wrote two OF
three poems. Cooper wrote three.
Bryant had days work to do in
a newspaper Office, as did Eugene
Field, while Emerson had lectures to
deliver. Sidney Lanier was flute
player in Baltimore orchestra.
Joaquin Miller is writing poems

Buffers Stolen Fee.

The late Hon. Joseph Q. Hoyt, for
merly of Boston, when lad attended
a circus and his silver watch was
stolen. The supposed thief was ar
rested, and was defended by Benja-
min F. Butler, who proved he did
not take the watch, and never was
at the circus.
During the civil war Hoyt was in
troduced to Butler at dinner at the
Aston house, in New York, and the
latter remarked: This is the first
time 1 have had the pleasure of meet
ing you"
"Oh, mol" said Hoyt, who then re-
lated the circus incident.
WAS that you, Hoyt?" asked But
Ter, and, being answered in the af-

That was an awful good watch,
Hoyt. That is all l got for defending

Historic ThimbIes.

In Mrs. Vanderbilt's collection of
thimbles, which is the envy of her
friends. there are several that are not
only very beautiful. but historically
valuable as well. Among the latter,
and probably most highly valued by
their fortunate owner, is one which
was originally worn by Queen Eliza
beth; another, which shows its royal
owner knew its use, was the property
of Princess Alice; still another dainty
conception in gold and enamel once
belonged to the Princess Of Wales,
while most valued Of all is one said
to have been used by Queen Victoria
when she was girl.

Another DID at Powers.

A few days ago Gov. Cobb, OF
Maine, and Hon. w. r. Pattangall.
prominent in politics in the same
state, were together on train. Mr..
Pattangall is lawyer and an editor,
the writer of the humorous "Meddy-
bemps Letters" appearing in his pa
per, the Machias Union.
In the course of conversation, Gov.
Cobb remarked TO Mr.. Pattangall: 4
don't see why you and Llwellyn Pow
ers should be so extremely antas-
onistic to each other Neither Of you
ever fails to give the other n rap
when there is opportunity"
At this point an interested listener
in the car leaned toward their chairs
and asked rs it really true that ex-
Gov. Powers is of Indian descent?'
well, the Indians deny 1t" Mr..
Pattangall answered, in his inimitabls
manner.

SALLoW FACES
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.

How many persons realize that col
fee so disturbs digestion that it pro-
duces a muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days trial Of Postum Food
Coffee has proven means, in thou
sands of cases, of clearing up bad
compilations.
A Washn. young lady tells her expe-
rience:
"All of us-father, mother, sister
and brother-had used tea and coffee
for many years until finally we all
had stomach troubles more or less.
1--WE were all sallow and troubled
with pimples, breath bad, disagree
able taste in the mouth, and all OF us
simply so many bundles of nerves.
1--WE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one day
we ran out of coffee and went to bor-
row some from a neighbor. She gave
us some Postum and told us to try
that.
ALTHOUGH we started to make 1t,
we all felt sure we would be sick II
we missed our strong coffee, but we
were forced to try Postum and were
surprised to find it delicious.
1--WE read the statements on the
pkg, got more and in month and a
half you wouldn't have known us.
We we're all able to digest our food
without any trouble, each ones skin
became clear, tongues cleaned OF and
nerves in fine condition. We never
use anything now but Postum. Theirs
is nothing like it." Name given by

aAddinu insult to injury

The phrase adding insult to In
Jury" originated from fable by
Phaedus, a Roman author, who lived
in the reign of Augustus Caesar, and
whose writings were first introduced
in modern literature in 1896, at
Rheims. France. The fable is called
1.-THE Bald Man and the Fly" and is
as follows: "A fly bit the bare pate
of a bald man, who endeavoring to
crush it, gave himself heavy blow.
Then said the fly. jeeringly: You
wanted to avenge the sting OF a tiny
insect with death. What will you
do to yourself, who have added in
suit to INJURY"

structions which the others did not
hear as they passed out of the house
and faced the slaves, now huddled in
to terrified mass, with their faces
fun of despairing expectancy.
Some of the women began lament
ing wildly when they found that they
were not to go away. But LATTE, in
his usual authoritative fashion, quiet
ed the hubbub, and ordered Shapiro
to take them to the Colonneh, which
AS he now decided-was not to be
Nused as hiding-place for those whom
he himself had, so Unexpectedly, been
able to assist.
One of his own craft, commanded
by Baptistine, was lying off the Owls
Point, awaiting the signal which
would announce the coming of Lafitte,
who, bent upon a private mission in
the neighborhood, had not reckoned
upon the present denouement.
But now, in view of all the circum-
stances, he considered this, the boat,
a more desirable means for conveying
the ladies directly to Shell Island,
where now were only old Scip1o, Ju-
niper and the boy, Nato.
Waiting therefore until he saw Sha-
pira start for the Colonneh, followed
by the now quiet slaves, LATTE, who
had meantime explained his plan to
his own charges, told them to follow
him, and set out hurriedly in an OPP
posite direction from that taken by
Shapiro and his dusky retinue.
The forest was darkening with late
afternoon shadows as the fleeing par
ty followed, in comparative silence,
the tall form that led them.
At length the party emerged from
the deeper shadows of their wooded
way, and came into a cleared space,
where the knoll known as THE Owls
Point projected into the bayou; and
hating here, LATTE looked about him,
while the others stood grouped little
distance away, awaiting quietly his
movements.
But before he could give the signal
to Baptistine, whose craft was con-
cealed around the bend of the bayou,
two men burst from the cover of a

CHAPTER xxx.

Less than a week later, one early
afternoon. the members of the house
hold at La Tete des Faux were start
led by the booming of cannon in the
direction of Lake Borgne.
What mad happened was this: An
English fleet, with twelve hundred
men, had with the intention of throw
ing an attacking force across Lakes
Borgne and Pontchartain, sailed into
Lake Borgne and opened an attack up
on the Americans, whose presence
was a surprise to the enemy, as Capt.
Lockyer. commanding the latter, had
understood that this point was de-
fenseless.
A fierce battle followed, resulting in
a partial victory for the English, who
were now masters of Lake Borgne.
1t was the Shapiro who, late in the
afternoon, brought this news to La
Tete des Faux.
The house was soon in a hustle of
preparation, the inmates packing has
lilly the few things they were to take
with them in their flight, and conceal
ing such property as would be likely
to attract thieying bands among the
enemy, who would, with little doubt,
visit the plantation, as Shapiro report
ed the woods about Lake Borgne to be
filed with British soldiers.
Madame Riefet, when not absorbed
by other matters. did not hesitate to
express her reluctance toward accept

GOT WILD WELCOME
MAORiS GREET VISITORS WITH
NATIVE CEREMONIES.
Proceedings, One Would Imagin.,
Rather Trying to the Nerves Of
Party Of Western Tourists.

A traveller in New Zealand tells of
a native welcome. His party drew
near to the central home of the tribe
of Maoris: las we rested beneath
the parapets, we were startled by a
horrible yell and round the corner of
the stockade appeared a ferocious
figure, tattooed, red-painted, befeath-
cred and naked, except for very
brief waist fringe of dangling palm
fiber His eyes rolled till the whites
only were seen, then he thrust out
long and snaky tongue and grimaced
fearfully. Shaking a wooden spear
in his hand. he swiftly cast it at us,
then turned and rushed toward the
village. Just as the sportsman
turned one of our young men, who
had rapidly Invested himself OF all
but his waist shawl, darted out In
pursuit and we followed at a more
dignified pace. The entrance TO the
city was barred by body or
armed men, crouching still as death,
on one knee, each holding a gun, butt
on the ground, barrel sloping toward
us. We advanced until we were
within twenty PAGES of the warriors.
Then all at once, at wild cry from
a chief on the right, they jumped TO
their feet, leaped high in the air,
with their feet doubled under them
like deer, and with one voice liter
ally barked out laundering chorus.
This way and that our martial hosts
bounded, brandishing their loaded
rifles in time to the chant. Hating
abruptly, with an earth-shaking thud,
they fired a volley of ball cartridge
over our heads.
Another volley reverberated from
hill to hill and the bullets whistled
over us. Then the brown warriors
fell back and a gayly dressed band
of women, with green leaves wreath
ed about their brows, and waving
shawls and leafy boughs, advanced
with a gliding semidance and chanted
their ancient welcome song. When
the women's song ceased, out to the
front danced six girls-a group or
wildly barbaric, yet not inharmom-
GUS, color-appareled in loose Grim
son roundabouts and short gowns OF
georgeously Powered print, their
brows bound about with red handker-
chiefs, which held in place the black
and white plumes of the rare hula
bird and the iridescent feathers OF
the long-tailed cuckoo. their cheeks
dabbed with red ocher paint, green
stone pendants and sharks teeth
hanging from their ears.
"These barefooted nymphs, hands
on hips and heads thrown back,
glided into the measure of a dance,
to the music of a shrill monody
chanted by a white-haired, tattooed
old lady. Then all at once the chant
ended on an unexpected high note
and the performers stopped, breath
less and glowing all over with their
self-evolved emotions. Broad fax
mats were spread out for US on the
green and after speeches of greeting
we were regaled with pork, preserved
birds, wild honey and potatoes, in
quantity sufficient to have satisfied
a starving Russian garrison"
