SOME EXPERIENCES OF TWO
HORSE BUYERS

"Clara Dolin' and ''Jack tie
Tough" the famous horse buyers.
started ont on d morning last week
with an Interpreter to find some
bucking bronchos, to impart TO
them the gentle ways of the white
man. They hiked out west and
north along the we'll travelled
highway. and arc the sun
rose highest in the heavens
came to Poor Los log cabin.
Its occupant, Mrs. Poor Lo,
was one of Col. Downs best
pupils. who had planted Il nice lit
tie garden and gathered u goodly
potatoe crop, and had heard OF the
white mans way of storing them
in a cellar. But she did not nave
the cellar dug yet and was now
watching the roadMays always to
try to find some one to dig the
cellar for her. So she told her per-
plexity TO Clara Dolin and said she
wanted to get him to dig it. 1t
wasn't n very large cellar that was
needed. SO the boys thought that.
Is the spouse had two goodlooking
spades at hand. thew would hitch
on to them and try it a whirl. BY
noon they had a good sized hole
dug adjoining the house. mine
frau was perfectly delighted. as
she she related it to the interpre-
ter: and then to recompense the
boys for their labor, she slaugh-
tered n of her fattest dogs. and
gave them a grand feast, which
was gotten up in the most fastidi-
Gus style-and Clara Dolin saws
the canine tasted us good as fresh
pork.

ABOLISH TIE BLACKLIST

DkIh
The accusation that a federation
OF employers is collecting a fund
Tor the purpose of crushing labor
unicnS WAS answered for Tie
itr.t tine by President James ".
Van Clcavc OF the National
Association of Manufacturers
during the address he delivered
at the annual convention of the
l.'izens Industrial Association Of
Anerica. at Battle Creek. Mich.
October q. 1903. That subject
AND a free discussion of the black
list and the boycott. We're It
feature Of the meeting.
Incorporation OF labor unions is
tlIe care suggested for the alb lscs
OF which these unions are guilty.
President Van Clcave asserts
1hat Incorporation would make
labor union leaders responsible for
their acts. Ii would allow suits
for damages to be pushed success
fully against them in the courts
Tor breaches of contract and VIC
latiors OF avs. President Van
Glcase declared in his address
that most of the important unions
are opposed to incorporation. and
HAT this was brought out with
embarrassing circunistant.aIitv in
/, the inquiry made by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics at Washington.
the result of which has recently
been published. The replies Of
the majority of the union bosses
were hostile to the proposition.
incorporation Of the union
automatically would bring Ii
nancal responsibility for un-
ION TITSTrCvs1urS:- wt,;t49tt
make the union pay more
regard to pledges and contracts:
il would influence the spirit OF
fairness. and thus would result in
the dcposlng of many OF the present
heads whoarc responsible for the
evils in nnioni>m. If the employer
violates his contract. n member OF
the union can sue him Individually
or AN u his company for any
damage which may have resulted
to the worker from such breach Of
contract. but no such redress is
open to the employer when. as is
often the case. the violation is bv
the other side. II the employer
attempts TO make worker carry
out his contract he is barred by
the court, ruling that this would
mean involuntary servitude and as
such is prohibited by the Constitu-
ton and the laws.
Mr.. Van Cleave believes and
freely confcsses that the large
ma lorit.y OF the members of labor
union are law abiding. public
spirited men. 1t is also his belief
that the incapable, unfaithful and
corrupt leaders of unions are to
blame formost ofthe labor troubles
which lave been and are be;nm
inflicted on the country.

The cost of living is Increasing not
merely in the United States but
abroad, and largely because of the ar
bitrary action of producers and deal
ers in advancing prices. The matter
has become serious in some quarters
notably in countries where the wage
scale rs low. In Italy the public au-
thorities are beginning to take matters
in hand The city government of
Rome proposes to step in and fix a
maximum price for all provisions, i'm
posing penalties for violation of the
regulations. Municipal ownership in
any form is something to be wary of,
but if such control takes the shape of
checking extortion that adds vastly to
the hardships of the people a great
many may be inclined to condone the
procedure.

Constitutional government is becom-
ig so popular that it begins to look as
though no country with any pretense
of being up to date will be content to
remain without it Even so conserva-
tive an old lady as the dowager en-
press of China has been seized with a
desire to follow the fashion and has
promised her people a constitution.
Persia, hitherto reckoned among the
most non-progressive of nations, is as
sured constitution, the shah having
signed an edict to that effect If Rus
sia's car does not wish to be help

Water Power Going to Waste.

The newly-created inland waterways
commission is going to teach the peo-
pie lot of things about the most valu-
able mineral in the world-a mineral
of which, because it is plentiful, we
are more wasteful than of anything
else, throwing it away wholesale, and
exhibiting a stupid neglect of its posi-
bilities of usefulness. So writes Rene
Bache in The Technical World Maya
zine. The mineral in question is wa
ter. Everybody drinks it, and most
folks use it for bathing. The latter
employment is considered by many
non-essential, but as a beverage it is
so far Indispensable that, if wholly
deprived of it, all of mankind on the
earth-not to mention the fowls of the
air and the beasts of the field-would
perish in about four days. The crops,
too, are made to grow by the same
beneficent fluid, which, incidentally,
furnishes power on an enormous and
notwithstanding scale for manufac-
turing purposes. To the Harvesting of
their rivers the southern states mainly
owe their recent industrial rejuvena-
ton.

WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE.
Practically UnobtainabIe During Period
OF Missouri's History.

However scarce money may be at
times at the present" said an old Mis-
sourian, the oldest Inhabitants will
recall when 1t was almost unobtain-
able and other commodities had to be
used as media of exchange The
VOLTS scalp was worth a dollar be-
cause 1t was a state bounty upon the
death of a wolf, and venison hams
and deer skins also had a purchasing
value Skins of the fur bearers were
likewise abundant and valuable. When
the first sheriff of Audrain county, in
1887, went to Jefferson City to deliver
the county revenue, he met an old
friend on the way who, needing
money, wanted to borrow the actual
coin part of the county's revenue. The
good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and
went on to the capital and delivered
only the scalps. By the time of the
next settlement the loan was repaid
and the sheriff made his next settle
ment complete. No note or other OBJ
legation than the mere word was
given."-Columbia Herald.

Martins Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story OF
two house martins nests built against
an attic window of a farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring, however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
The house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession of
their house.-Country Life.

TO MAKE A PLAGUE.
Easily Made Novelty That Will Please
Many Friends.

Pictures are always welcome to both
sexes, and a unique way to fix the
smaller ones is to get some plaster of
Paris, mix it with water until it will
pour nicely, and then, after you have
carefully placed your picture-rrint
or unmounted photographic the bot
tom of porridge plate, pour in the
plaster of Paris Then dry in a slow
oven, or let it stand for several hours
When the mixture is perfectly hard,
tap the bottom of the dish, and your
PLAGUE will come out as smooth and
clean as the plate itself, and the pic
ture will be so imbedded in the plas-
ter of Paris that the edges will not
show at ALL This is very nice way
to treat an amateur photo or a head
of one of the old masters If it is q
subject in which the recipient is IL
terested he will prize it very much.
To get the hanger on, turn tho
PLAGUE on its face, place a loop OF
string a little above the middle, ex-
actly centered crosswise, and put over
it dab of the plaster of Paris
When this dries the PLAGUE is ready,
and will hang fiat against the wall
Different shapes can be obtained, OF
course. by using Acknowledgment

The Peaceful Cow.

She was even more afraid of cows
than most girls, so when she spied a
placid animal recumbent under a
tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she
at first refused to go through the pas
ture at all. Her husband Gained her
fears to some extent, and they started
by, when the COW slowly commenced
to get up, hind legs first, as they al
ways do. At this the little lady
shrieked with terror, and said:
''Oh, Bob, hurry, hurry, he is getting
ready to spring at us!"-Harper's
Magazine.
