THREE THOUSAND QUIT WORK
commercial Photographers EmpIoved s,
 New York City Strike.

New York, Aug.-At 1 o'clock Mon, day the operators in the main office of the Western Union here went ont
 mere had been rumors that such a move was in contemplation, but up to a few minutes before 1 o'clock there were no signs of the intended action. At exactly 1 o'clock d shrill whistle was sounded through the big operat- Ing room, and practically every man left his desk. As the men left the building they were cheered by other operators who had gathered in Dey street. The cheering soon attracted the passersby on Broadway, and in a few minutes large crowd had gather ed. There was no disorder, however, and the police of the traffic squad soon put the sightseers in motion. A few minutes after the strike while the po- lice were clearing the sidewalks around the Western Union building, one man disputed the right of the po- lice to compel him to move on and he was arrested.
 Secretary-Treasurer McInenery of the local Photographers Union said that the local men had walked out without any order from the union offi- cers, and that they took the matter in their own hands in going out. He said the officers of the union, though, would stand by the strikers in their action
 Secretary McInenery said that the feeling of the men was strong against the company, but that the local union officers had done all they could to prevent the men going out. He said:
 "The officers regret the action of the men going out at this time. We did all we could to restrain them, but they were simply goaded into going out. The last straw that broke the camels back came, when three men who had been discharged last week for declining to work wires on which strikebreakers were employed, went to the main office of the Western Un- ion to get their time. They were told by one of the chief operators to get out of the office, and the men ac- companied the ejectment with abusive language. The fault is with the com pany, for we have done all we could to prevent this trouble. The local union will stand by the men,.
 Secretary McInenery said the local union was well provided with funds and that the Order of Railway Tele- graphers had assured the local uhlon that they would aid them in imam cial way.

IN THE NAME OF CHARITY.
Jack London's Story Carries Sting of
 Truth and Pathos.

Jack London's famous definition of charity-'sharing a bone with a dog when you're as hungry as the dog recalls story about charity" said a magazine editor, that I heard MT. Lon- don tel at a farewell dinner in New York before he sailed away on the Spark.
 MT. London said two old men were smoking and drinking together after dinner.
 The host rang the bell and an old woman appeared.
 "Confound you, stupid!' said the host. Didn't tell you I wanted the Scotch? Take this back, and bring what I asked for, you old fool!'
 "'Come, come,' said the guest, after the old woman had hurried away in a great fright. Come, come, my friend, don't you think you are rather too sharp with your old servant?'
 "'Oh, said the other, she's not a servant. She's only a poor relation I'm keeping out of charity
 "The guest looked relieved
 That alters the case, of course,' he said. d."-Washington Times.

In ExtremiS.

The yacht was heavily becalmed. There were but ten bottles of cham pagne in the lockers. Their last signal of distress had been sent up, without bringing any response.
 "Gentlemen," exclaimed the commo- dore, in a quavering voice, "I can no longer conceal the hideous truth from you. Sobriety stares us in the face!"
 It was wildly various scene which ensued. Some blasphemed, some prayed, some, in an access of frenzied wantonness, sang songs, while some sat stoically by, awaiting their fate with at least an outward calm.-Puck.

 My friend, Will Long is no nature faker," he said, but I admit that many of our myriad nature writers are. These mems idea of lie seems too closely to resemble that of little boy I know.
 "The boys teacher said from her desk one afternoon:
 "I want every pupil. who has never told lie to hold up his hand"
 There was a doubtful pause. Two or three hands were raised. Then my little friend piped out:
