i in view of the decided literary treat it affords There is force and power, un- deniably so, in this capital story As says the New York Sun: This is one of the most extraordinary sociological tales that we have come across-per- haps the most. It is the very apotheo- sis of the manly art of self-defence. | Never was there such a glorification of muscular Christianity as the epic of John Glynn. Take the story of Damon and Pythias, mix it with the leading case of John Alden, Miles Standish and Priscilla supply the atmosphere of a social settlement and leaven the lump with low life, and you will have some idea of the plot of MT. Pattersons nov i el, especially if you make your hero not a gentleman pug, but a gentleman who is a pug.
 John having made his pile, $5O0,OOO, or so, ranching in western America re- l turns to London with an idea that he wants to settle down and do some thing such as his bosom friend Dick Brabant has been doing. Dick is a light in the Society for Improving the l Condition of the Poor. So also is Eve lyn Grey, whom Richard loves madly, but in vain. John thinks that he sees chance to do Dick and himself a good turn at one and the same time by helping to improve the condition of the poor as Evelyn's assistant Now, | Evelyn's agency is in the heart of the toughest district in London and this district is presided over by an evil genius, one Percival Nyne, who is just on the eve of promoting, not a criminal trust, but a trust of criminals, a syndi- cate organized for burglary, robbery, blaekmai and similar gentle arts.
 How John discovered this, how he planned the discontinue of Nyne, what use he made of the pugllistic skill he had acquired from the American cham pion, "John D. Sullivan" (save the markD and how Evelyn acted in the role of Priscilla are duly set forth in the consequence.
 John Glynn' is all right and MT. Patterson should be heard from again

WOMEN LOSING THEIR JOBS
 WEEP
Large Number of Employees Let Out of the Government Printing Office at Washing ton.

WASHINGTON. May 9.-Consterna. tioa reigned at the government print. ing office when a. sweeping dismissal Of employees of the bindery was made by Public Printer Stiliings. The fatal yellow envelopes, containing the aisnissals from the service. were handed to POI workers. These in cluded 102 journeymen bookbInders and log women employees. s.-.ss
 When the women received their dis missals 1t Is said some pathetic scenes were witnessed. Many of than had worked in the government printing office for years. --'
 In explanation of the wholesale dis missal Mir. Stillings made the follow ing statement:
 The amendments to the laws gov erning the printing and binding of government reports and congressional documents enacted by the last con gress have caused such falling off of work for the employees of the bind cry division of the government print ing office that the public printer was today forced to make his first reduc- tion, by the dismissal of 102 journey men bookbinders and 102 women em- ployes. mostly sewers and gold work CTS"
 He also stated that the forced reduc- ton of employees was the most un- pleasant duty he has had to perform since he took charge of the govern ment printing office; that it was a duty he could not shirk, and that he had delayed it just as long as it was possible for him to do so making every effort to secure work to keep these people busy.
 He said the work in the bindery has been steadily decreasing in the past twelve months, and to postpone the dismissals he had instituted brief fuTloughs among the employees, hoping that the work would ultimately in- crease by the natural growth of gov eminent needs to such proportion that the reduction of the force might be avoided.
 ITO adjust a situation like this is very difficult matter, as can be read fly perceived. and the public printer feels that the present solution :s the fairest to the government and to the employees. Notwithstanding it brings a heartache to those who have been dismissed, it absolutely could not be avoided.r

 The slaughter was the climax to a three days search for the den of rat tiers by some miners employed at the camp. who killed twenty-five the day before the der was discovered. The destruction of the reptiles was accomplished by the aid of a charge of Hercules powder. which Gcatte-ea the rattlers all oTer the mountain side. which French says was strewn with thousands Of wriggllng pieces of snakes after the charge exploded.
 The miners. who were annoyed by the rattlers on their way to and from work, decided. Wednesday, to start out and annihilate all of the snakes found. They killed several before reaching a

They roomed together for two years. The judge informed US that Peg Leg never had any visions of a lost gold mine on the desert when sober.

DEMANDS s25OOO fOR LOSS IF HAND
Brakeman Sues the Southern Pacific for Injuries Caused While Coupling Cars in Cali fornia.

FL. PASO, May 9.-Setting forth
 that the amputation of an arm and
 hand caused by injuries received
 while acting in the capacity of stu dent brakeman in the employ of the Southern Pacific Railroad company, fJ. R. Dover filed suit in the United States circuit court late yesterday afternoon for $25,00 damages from the company. .a-.... .5...-.s. The complaint states that Dover was in the employ of the Southern Pa cific on the western divisio nworking out of Oakland, Cal, on November 26, 1906, when his hand and. arm were injured, between two cars which ne ceSsitated the amputation thus dis abling him from doing manual work. It Is set out in the petition that be was in the act of coupling two strings of cars. one of which had an engine attached. One string was backing up and Dover was to make the coupling
 with the other cars. The complaint
 states that as he was about to couple
 the cars he gave a signal to- the en- gineer to stop because the knuckles of the couplers on the ends of both cars would not work by the lift lever on the outside of the cars anr he had
 to go between the cars to open one of the knuckles.
 The petition further ayers that the engineer failed to bring the engine
 to a stop and as Dover was between the cars they came together and crushed his arm an dhand.
 The safety appliance act, making T railroad liable for injury done by negligence of employees, which was passed by congress June II, 1906, is brought into the complaint to support the claim for damages because, it is alleged. that the engineer was able to see the signal Dover gave to stop and did not heed it.

The remarkable curative and
Strengthening power of Ml-o-na is at
tested by the guarantee, which Tall
