turbance in Trade Circles.

New York. Oct. "A threatened
strike of printing pressmen in JOB

yesterday in offices that declined to
yield to the demands of the Interna-
tional Pressmen's and Assistants union

according to advices received today st
the United Typothetae headquarters In
this city. The union demanded an
eight-hour day and an advance of 81
a week.
An official of the Typothetae said
that the whole trouble was due to an
attempt on the part of the new officials
of the Pressmen's union, headed by
President George L. Berry OF Cincin-
natl, to repudiate a contract made by
former President Martin T. Higgins or
Charlestown, Mass, last February. Of
fective on May 1 and continuing for
five years, renewing an agreement
which had been in force for five years
previous to that date. 1t was said that
legal steps would be taken to compel
the union to adhere to its agreement.

HURT BY A TRAIN.
John A. Canny Loses a Leg Near Val
ley Falls.

A man who gave his name as John
A Canny and stated that he formerly
worked on a farm south of Topeka,
was picked up on the Santa Fe tracks
about two and one-half miles this side
of Valley Falls by the train crew of
Santa Fe passenger train Mo- 108.
When found by the train crew he was
lying near the rails with his right leg
cut off and his left leg badly mangled.
He was taken into Valley Falls by No.
1OS and left there for about an hour
when he was brought into Topeka on
train No. los, the passenger train
from ST. Joseph. He was taken to the
hospital where his leg will probably be
amputated.
Just how long he had been lying on
the roadbed before being discovered is
not known. He was in a feeble con-
dftion when found on account of the
cold wind and the dampness. It is
thought likely that he was trying to
beat his way to st. Joseph or some
other point on freight train which
left Topeka early this morning and
which passed through Valley Falls
about six O'Clock. just how he was
working a ride or how he happened to
fall off and meet with his misfortune
is not known.
When the train arrived in Topeka
Canny was taken to the Santa Fe hos
pital His condition is considered
quite serious by the hospital authori-
ties but it is considered proba BILE
that he will be able to pull through.
Canny is short person clean
shaven and has black curly hair. He
was dressed in a manner not different
from that of the ordinary tramp. He
is apparently about forty years of age.
He weighs about 1 155 pounds.

LIN His Trial for Participation
in Land Frauds.
THE CASE GOES ON
After the Court Had Refused to
Take 1t
From the Jury on Motion of
the Defense.

| Boise, Idaho. Oct. 2.-The trial of
United States Senator Borah con-
| tinued today, Judge Whitson refusing
| the motion of the defense for an in
structed verdict of not guilty. Senator
Borah took the stand as the first wit
ness in his own behalf.
Senator Borah said he had been a
personal friend of former Governor
Steunenberg for years prior to his
death but never was employed as his
attorney. He became general counsel
for the Barber Lumber company in
1903. AS such counsel he had several
conversations with Timber Inspector
Sharp in regard to reported frauds
and asked to be informed whenever a
fraudulent claim was unearthed SO his
company, which was heavy pur-
chaser, might be protected. The visit
to former Governor Morrison was ex-
planned by Senator Borah with the
statement that the Barber Lumber
scrip and had prepared to scrip the
section where the state had finally de-
cided to take up 1000 acres. The
company idea was to scrip the land
rison did not give him any specific in
formation.
AS to deeds going through his office.
Senator Borah said that altogether 339
o6eoS HdQ D0on SO TeCOTu0Q+ tie Ildt
nothing to do with any of the purchases,
many of which were made long before
he became attorney for the company.
No controversy arising over the deeds,
nothing in regard to them was ever re-
ferred to him. His inquiry as to why
the lands had been taken in the names
of Rand, Long and others brought for
ward by the government as dummy
trustees Senator Borah said was an
swered by the company officers to the
effect that If 1t became known cor
poration was in the field, the price of
lands would have been doubled. For
this same reason the Barber Mill site
here in Boise was also purchased in
Rand's name.
Senator Borah called on the prosecu-
tion to produce these deeds in court in
of this statement.
Il never prepared a deed from any
entTyman or trustee said Senator
Borah.
"I do not and never did own a dollar
of stock in the Barber Lumber COM
pany. My compensation has always
been fixed salary and never had any
contingent fee or interest whatsoever"
At the conclusion of Senator Borah's
testimony the case was rested. Argu- |
ments were entered upon this afternoon |
and probably will be concluded tomor- |
row morning.
At one point of his cross-examination
Senator Borah was loudly applauded by |
a crowd in the court room. Judge |
said a repetition of the demon
stration would result in excluding all |
specta tors.

Why Foreigners Attract.

Despite the experience of American
girls who have married foreigners
there is still the same desire in the
hearts of wealthy young women, fos-
tered by ambitious mammas, possibly,
TO a great extent, that the money they
have VIII give them the only thing
they cannot buy in America title.
This, at any rate, is the usual way of
looking at the matter from the stand
point of other Americans. The girls
themselves, however, no doubt see in
the foreign gentlemen something that
an American man seldom attains-a
culture born of leisure, that to the To-
mantle is as attractive as the inherited
estate. The busy men of her acquain-
lance at home give too much thought
to the problem of money to suit her,
and she falls back for amusement to
the man with plenty of time and that
something of grace that his life makes
possible. He knows art, music; loves
sport for itself, and politics, not SEEM
ingly for any interest he may have in
it as a valuable asset. Then, after
marriage, when he wishes TO spend her
money with the same graceful freedom
and disregard Of consequences that so
much attracted her, she is obliged to
call a halt, and bitterness follows. The
American girl is more in sympathy
with the European ideal of culture and
refinement that makes money only
means to an end than her brother, but
there must consequently be much TN
happiness until either the titled for
eigner is educated down to our finan-
cial standards. or the American girl
becomes completely Independent of
them

PHOTOGRAPHIC BABY.
Don't Curl His Hair or Dress Him in
an Unnatural Way.

1t is a mistake to curl or dress a
childs hair in some fashion different
from that employed every day, as it
VIII make the picture seem unnatural.
This same idea applies to clothes
worn. If a child is in the habit of being
dressed in very fancy clothes, well and
good, but if only it's best clothes are
ruffled and betrimmed the mother must
decide whether she prefers a good pic
ture of the child or one of the clothes.
Sometimes the best photographs are
secured by leaving the baby entirely to
the photographers care. He will often
understand, by reason of his larger ex-
perience. just how to secure a baby's
attention and to catch just the right
expression on the little face.
Often this is impossible if he is in
terfered with by numerous loving aunts
and grandparents, in addition to the
mother.
The Madonna pose Of mother and
child may be made very pretty and ar
tistic, but the mother should always
be careful to wear something pretty
and soft and white to get the real ar
tistic effects of such a pose
When a child is first able to stand
alone very pretty pose is to get him
to stand on a chair of the open wicker
variety and allow him to lean over the
back, with his arms resting on the back
Of the chair.
Little baby hands are so often out
stretched for various articles that a
very pretty picture is the result If baby,
when in position, is induced to stretch
forth his little right hand naturally by
holding out to him some pleasing OBJ
ject.

WIVES IN KOREA.
A Humorist Who Draws a Moral
From Their Silence.

1t is said that in Korea after a ma
tive woman is welded she becomes
practically speeches., says Newton
NeWkirk in the Boston Post. This is
IN conformity to custom and caste. A
Korean wife does not after marriage
become absolutely mute but she does
NOT speak unless necessity demands it.
Ana by the way if none of us talked
any more than necessity demanded this
world would be full of large chunks
OF silence. The Korean wife does not
chatter like parrakeet. Hot air is
something in which she does not deal
vi course If the house got on fire she
would mention it, or if she were to step
on a snake sshe wouldn't try to keep
the TACT a secret, but she does not talk
over the back fence when she is bring
ing in the wash or converse with her
neighbor when she is washing the win
ooWs. If she did. she would lose her
caste and her social rating would slump
raster than a copper stock.
Probably many brutal husband who
reads these lines will sigh and say,
An, that my wife were a Koreani"
There has an impression got abroad in
this land of the free and the home
OF the CRATER that our women are end
less and tiresome takers. In the eyes
of the masses the American wife holds
the long distance record as a continu-
Gus conversationalist. And upon this
impression jests and jokelets are freely
built The eternally talking wife is a
prolific source of inspiration for comic
weeklies and the vaudeville stage. Two
comedians come down front and, with
their noses touching each other, engage
in a rapid fire conversation.
I got talking machine down to my
house"
.'Oh, you got a talking machine down
to your house! How much did you pay
for it?''
81 didn't pay nothing for i'll mar
ried it!' (Shrieks of laughter from the
large and select audience)
But if the wife is voluble of speech,
is her husband a sphinx? If a woman
is a human photograph. is a man a
clam? Not exactly-not so that you
could notice it from the road through
the binoculars. Most of the husbands
who like to joke about the wagging
tongues of their wives are living ex-
Founders of the hot air theory. They
are the chaps who have nothing to say
and devote most of their time to say
ing it; they are full of persiflage, YER
bosity and prunes. When they open
their mouths their tongues run away
with them. Stand one of these tire
some expounders of the obvious up be-
side talking machine and he will
make it sound like a whisper Man, |
as he averages up, is full of bluff, brag
and buster, and that's worse than you |
can say of the average woman.

How to Burn
Gas Coke

:. In order TO use gas coke, kindle the
IRE in usual way, and when burning
fairly, I'LL fire box with deep, even bed of
coke; Owing to its peculiar fracture and
rough grain it does not pack as closely
as hard coal, and leaves more air space
retaining its original shape until burned
70 ASH. Keep a large body of coke I'M
DER low fire rather than a little coke
under strong fire. TO keep a low fire,
close draft In lower part of the front of
furnace, keep slide in feed door open and
damper in chimney pipe almost closed.
The damper, with which the fire can be
regulated perfectly. should be opened
only when kindling new fire, and when
coke is well ignited the draft. should be
shut off. Keep layer of ashes on the
CRATE, and when shaking stop before hot
Goals appear. This helps to keep the fire
burning slowly. When leaving fire for
the night fill fire box full of coke, shut
off damper and throw on pea coke to fill
up open spaces, keeping feed door aiar,
and leave bed of ashes on crate to check
draft Ashes should not be permitted to
pile Up below the crate so as to touch it,
furnace that heats poorly with coal on
account of poor draft. will do much bet
ter with gas coke, which requires only
an ordinary draft.

$4,000 at Services for the Dead.

At the Cote des Neiges cemetery.
Montreal, Sunday, the annual gather
ing for the services for the dead took
place. His grace Archbishop Bruche-
81. and Bishop Racicot were present.
1t was magnificent sight to see this
immense concourse stretching away
as far as the eye could reach, and lis
tening with rapt attention to catch
the words of the speakers, who, clad
in their penitential-looking, though
picturesque, habits Of st. Dominic and
ST. Francis. produced no small impress
sion upon the multitude. They carried
the mind back to the days when their
holy founders st. Dominic and st.
Francis, worked side by side in the
vineyard of the Lord, and stirred up
souls to penance and to love of one
another as no two saints had done be-
fore.
