Refused an Eight Hour Day.

On last Monday committee from
Calaveras Miners Union No. %, W. F..
of NJ, called on +. j.. Martin, super
inteDdent of the Utica company, and
presented a request for an eight-hour
day for all men working for that com
panv. The request was refused, the
superintendent saying that at this
time 1t would be impossible to operate
the mine on that schedule.
The committee reported to the Union
on Tuesday night and on last night
three of the leading officers of the
Western Federation were expected
here to see what could be done in the
matter of having the request OF the
men granted.
At this time 1t is not known what
the outcome of the conference will
be. The officers of the Utica com
pany say that they cannot increase
their running expenses and keep the
property working, and that if the
nan insist on having eight hours, the
mine will have to shut down. On the
other hand the miners feel that they
should have an eight-hour day

Jim Bludso.

Waal, no; can't tell wbar he lives,
Because he don't live, you see.
Leastways, he's got out OF the habit
OF Iivin' like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three
years
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his
checks
The night of the Prairie BELIEF
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez under the hill
And another one here in Pike.
keerless man in his talk was Jim
And an awkward hand in a row,
hut be never funked, and he never
lied;
l reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had:
10 treat his engine we'll,
Never be passed on the river,
10 mind the pilots bell,
And, if ever the Prairie Belle took
fire,
thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle ag'in the bank
! Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Miss
Issip,
And her day come at last.
The Movastar was better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be pass
ed.
And so she came tearin' along that
night,
The oldest craft on the line,
With Niger squat on her safety
valve
And her furnace crammed-rosin
and pine.
bar
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as flash she turned and
made
For that wlIler bank on the right.
There was runnin' and cussin'. but
Jim yelled out
Over all the internal Ioar,
"l'll hold the nozzle ag'in the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore!"
Through the hot black breath OF the
burnin' boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his eussed-
ness
And knowed he would keep his word.
And sure's you're born, they all got
off
Afore The smokestack fell,
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint, but at Judgment
I'D run my chance with Jim
'Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with
him.
He seen his duty-a dead sure thing
And went for it thar and then,
And Christ ain It a-goin' to be too hard
On man that died for men.

The use of the legend ''In God We
Trust" on some of the coins of the
United States grew out of-according
to writer in the Chicago News-a
letter written by Maryland farmer
to Salmon z. Chase when be was
secretary of the treasury. The News
writer says: 1.-The letter was written
in November, 1861, the writer urging
that we should, as a christian people,
make some recognition of the deity
on our coins. Mr. Chase referred the
letter to director Pollock of the mint,
who approved the suggestion and
proposed one of the legends, "Our
Country, Our God,' or God Our
Trust Mr. Chase then referred the
matter to congress, and again in 1867
and 1868 he urged that the matter
be acted on. Finally. on April %,
1864, congress authorized the coinage
of two-cent bronze piece and on it
was stamped the legend In God We
Trust, instead of ''E Pluribus
Unum.' - subsequently. on March 3,
1860, the director of the mint, with
the approval of the secretary of the
treasury, was authorized to place the
legend on all gold and silver coins
susceptible of that addition thereafter
to be issued. The legend is taken
from the following line IN "rhe Star
SpangIed Banner: And this be our
motto: In God is our trust"

attempt at manufacture on an indus
trial scale seems to have been begun
by Reynaud in Denmark in 1905. The
peat was heated with dilute sulphuric
acid, and the sugar solution so OBJ
tanned was fermented with special
yeast. In this way some thousands of
gallons of alcohol were produced last
year ct Aalborg. The fermented
liquid, however, contained not more
than one per cent of alcohol, and the
concentration of so weak spirit pro-
missed very doubtful profit. Better
results are claimed from independent
experiments by Herr F'restidius and
Baron Fock. Ordinary peat contain
ing 62 per cent of water was boiled 10
minutes with dilute sulphurIc acid I'D
copper vessel, under a pressure of
three atmospheres, and the liquid was
then pressed out, the excess of acid
neutraliZed with chalk, and after
filtration the resulting solution was
fermented. This product yielded 5%
per cent of alcohol, corresponding
to about 20 gallons of absolute
alcohol from 500 pounds of peat.
An extraordinary pair of elephant
tusks lately shown in London measure
in length II feet inches and IL feet
respectively, but each has a -girth at
the base of only IS inches, and to-
gether they weigh but 293 pounds.
The great length and slenderness of
these tusks,~ as contrasted to the usual
comparatively short and stout ones,
has suggested to Prof. Rowland Ward
that there may be two races of ele-
plants in East Africa, the supposed
source CT the tusks. A bsence OF
wear at the end of the tusks indicates
that the elephant differed from the
common ones in not digging for roots
The new art has assumed such i'm

Rest is the great restorer. We tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them; yet a great many of
us do not stop to think how little
rest we give to our stomachs. AS
usual thing no part of our bodies is
so generally over worked as ouI diges-
tive organs. A tired and overworked
stomach will give signs of distress to
which we pay no heed until at last
dyspepsia takes hold. Indigestion is
just warning, and if we heed the
warning we can easily avoid further
consequences. Kodol is most thor

HONESTY is PATRIOTISM,

Patriotism of the present day con
lsists largely in being honest
This does not apply TO officials
alone, for officials take their charac-
ter from the type of people behind
them.
No citizen of the United states is
an honest American who finds it too
much work to give a little personal
attention to public affairs, and then
complains bitterly because these af,
fairs are in the hands of corrupt men
and therefore mismanaged.
It is an appropriate and splendid
custom that the American people on
the anniversary of their Independence
should devote the day to lauding their
Nation. OF late years they have spent
q large part of the remaining S64 days
OF the year in dwelling upon its
faults.
Ours is indeed a great Nation with
a glorious record in the past and a
courageous spirit for anything that
may come in the future. We have
our faults and have learned many bit
ter lessons. Nevertheless we have
set the pace for the world in many of
those principles of government that
make for the betterment of the con
dition of all mankind. We are a ma
ton of peace-lovers, never afraid to
fight if there be good cause for it,
Our greatest danger is public indif.
ference to National problems until
they become acute, and the increase
of an oleaginous element that will
sacrifice selfrespect, principle and
anything else in order to be the re.
cipient of official favors and with the
winning side.
Then there are others who always
wait for an opportunity to do great
deeds before they attempt to do any
thing Roosevelt in one of his recent
speeches made pertinent reference to
this class by repeating the story of
the young man who spent good
share of his time thinking on what
grand things he could do "if condi-
tons were different" His mother
was a Woodworking woman. He had
been reading of the brave rescue of
young woman from burning build
Ing, and remarked = to his mother,
while she was busy with her house
work, 81 would like to rescue some
one from burning, building" The
mother stopped long enough in her
work to say, well, III tell you. This
building amt on fire, but if you will
split the kindling wood | will be
obliged to you"
The citizen who does nothing but
complain, the citizen who is always
reaching for position on the band
wagon regardless of which way it
leads, the citizen who can't find any
thing to do but is forever hoping for
something great, and the citizen who
plays the hypocrite,-each and all are
as dishonest and as unpatriotic as the
corrupt official and his tools who steal
the money of the people.
There were dishonest men in the
colonies on the Fourth day of July,
1875. There were men of the same
character during the years of strug-
gle which finally brought forth a unit
