A HAPPY
LOCKOUT

He turned the knob of the door with
the confidence born of habit. The door
did not open. What was the matter?
A horrible fear assailed him. He
moved away slowly and walked into
the dining room. Seeing no one there,
he ventured into the kitchen. There
he found Mollie. On the table before
her were two apple pies ready for the
oven and there were signs of others
yet to be made.
"Mollie." he said those pies have
a toothsome look"
''They have or will have more than
that" she answered, carefully looking
away from him.

HELPING THE TRUSTS.
Systems That Are Opposed to the
Welfare of the Masses.

Nearly century ago. Gssraeli. tho
elder. in his essay on gaming and
gambling. wrote: The savage and the
civilized. the illiterate and the learn
ed, are alike captivated by the hope
of accumulating wealth without the
labors of industry" In this saying the
great statesman and writer sounded
the keynote of much of the woes met
with in life. 1t is the desire to secure
wealth without labor, TO gain some
thing for nothing. that causes many to
go to their graves ''unwept, unhonored
and unsung."
The man who gleefully sings Make
a few dollars earn you living" will
be sure to find many people ready to
believe him. They will take

so numerous that the promoter really
succeeds in "accumulating wealth
without the labors OF industry" but
the others-his victims-generally

A PLAGUE AMONG QUAIL.
The Government Alarmed Over
the Spread Of the Disease.

Washington, May 27,-There is an
outbreak OF disease among the quail
oithe country that threatens serious
results. The news is contained In a
circular just Issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture calling the atten-
tion OF sportsmen and game dealers
to the outbreak and asking for more
Information on which to base treat
ment and protective measures. While
not enough is known about the dis
ease to make diagnosis absolutely
certain, 1t is suspiciously like the
grouse disease that for 100 years has
been playing havoc with the game
birds In England. The centers of In
lection in this country are only just
being found, and II more information
Is gained it is possible that qusrsn-
tine measures may be restored to.
The centers CT injection so far
known are In Kansas, Indian terri.
tory, Alabama, Virginia and Mas
sachusetts. The grouse disease has
been studied scientifically and has
been found TO be as definite a mslady
as typhoid or diphtheris. The dis
ease, although evidently Infectious,
sesms to be closely allied to pneu
monia.
MAY SPREAD TO OTHER BIRDS.
Not enough has been learned yet
about the quail disease to establish
its Identity unquestionably with the
grouse disease, but It's symptoms and
the spread OF the Infection is much
the same, and there is possibility
that it has been imported with the
shipment of grouse from England.
1t Is known at least that the quail
disease Is fatal not only to quail, but
to the sharp-tailed grouse of this
country, and there are grave fears
that It's wider spread may affect
many OF the most important game
birds OF the country.
The first intimation that the De-
partment OF Agriculture had OF the
disease was when In April, 1905, the
bureau OF animal industry received
three dead birds from dealer In this
city. He said that the birds were
the last OF a large lot that had been
steadily dying off. The whole flock
would appear well at night, and In
the morning several OF them would
be dead.
IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
Some time later the same dealer
received q shipment OF two dozen
blue quail from Wichita, Kan. Near
ly all were dead on arrival, evidently
from the same disease. Then ship
ment was received from Birmingham,

nine good men and true, who, after
short deliberation, announced that Ed
