TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT.
WIfs's sneerino Comment Met with

0elett Burgess at the recent dinner
OF the American Booksellers associa-
tion Of New York said: Il once knew
a San Franciscan who married a girl
for her money. She was not a pretty
girl, and as time passed and love
cooled. she developed rather tart
tongue.
"One day her husband bought with
his quarters allowance a 20-horse.
power automobile. He took the car
home gayly and brought his wife out
to the front door to look at It. She
gave one sneering glance. and then
said:

BLOW FOR THE INSPECTOR.
chInanan Was Different from Any He
Had Had Dealings With.

When former Minister WI Ting
Fang left this country he was accom-
panied by an extensive retinue and at
tended to the steamer by delegation
OF local Chinese merchants.
The customs fficials, who then were
also immigration inspectors, carefully
took the names and count of the local
Chinese as they went on board. This
precaution was to prevent some de-
ported or otherwise not welcome celes-
tial from effecting a landing by joining
the merchants as they came ashore
after taking a ceremonious farewell
Of their distinguished countryman.
Half an hour or so after WI and his
friends had gone on board one Of Wu's
secretaries arrived on the dock and
was hurrying up the gangplank when
a customs inspector seized him by
the arm and pulled him back on the
wharf
"Washamalla you, John, no takee
name, you no can come back. Who
you belong?" said the inspector smil-
ing at some girls with whom he had
been talking.
The Chinese shook loose the inspec-
tors hold on the loose sleeve of his silk
robe and with quiet dignity remarked:
This violence is unnecessary, sir,
and my name is matter of no inter-
est to you. l am member of his ex-
cellency's suite. I go on board this
steamer to leave this country, never
again I hone tn return"
That customs inspector is still on
the force, but never since has he tried
to be funny with Chinese gentleman,
San Francisco Call.

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent Of the Drugs Pre-
scribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition of physicians,
especially Of those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
cians use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing concerns,-are, in
fact, patent medicines just as truly
as if they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing Of pharmacy and is, there
fore. glad to depend on the very medi-
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa
tient himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls ''self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth Of the
professional use of patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 20, 1906. by A. jacob, NJ.
D., LII. D. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
ton in 1900 called for ready-to-use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent of the total. This increased to
per cent in the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 it was IL per cent,
in 1898 1t was Is per cent, and in 1902
1903 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
DIR. jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 70 per cent
of the prescriptions were for patent"
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this 1t would seem that II the patent"
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe in
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use In cases of
necessity and where the symptoms
are well known and as easily under
stood by the people as by the doc
tors.

May Shut Down Associated Press.

characterization taken by the teleg
rarhers of Chicago threatens fur
ther decentralization of the telegraph
service of the country. Unless de-
mands made by press and brokers' op-
orators are speedily granted, walkouts
will result in those branches Of the
service.
The Associated Press operators will
present a new wage scale and a de-
mand for better working conditions to
the company officials in New York.
The; sociation will be asked to pay the
same wages and give the same condi-
tions as are enjoyed by the operators
in the employ Of the Hearst news
service. These conditions include tho
closed shop.
Operators in brokers' Offices and at
the stock yards will also present new
wage scales. Every employer who re-
fuses to grant the concessions asked
will have a strike on his hands. The
leased wire operators will also refuse
to handle any messages for outsiders.
Only those pertaining to the business
of their employers will be sent or re-
ceived. This will cut OF the banks
and other commercial enterprises from
the service which they have been
using since the strike began.

New Road Into wyoming.

Fort Collins, Colo.-Judge Milliken
OF Denver United States Senator Har-
ris of Kansas and Colonel Nevins, a
civil engineer of Denver, went over the
proposed line of the Denver, Laramie
and Northern railway between Fort
Collins and Laramie, Wyoming, re-
Gently in an automobile. They have
purchased practically every foot of the
right of way between Fort Collins and
Laramie. The right of way between
Fort Collins and Denver has not yet
been secured.
The line will run several miles east
of the Colorado and Southern, prob
ably half way between the Colorado
and Southern to Johnstown, thence to
Fort Collins. From here 1t will go
west one and half miles, thence
north to Box Elder, then into the hills
across Dale creek above Christman's
ranch. up Fish creek canon and across
the Union Pacific two miles west of
Tie Siding. That town will be moved
to the junction. From there the right
of way goes directly to Laramie, Wy
oming.
A 4OO-foot iron bridge will be built
across Dale creek, and another ten
miles north of Forks, beyond Red
mountain. Judge Milliken is president
OF the road, and Senator Harris vice
president. The visit Saturday and
Sunday was made in order that Civil
Engineer Nevins could show the Off
cials the route to the right of way
that had been secured. The line is
said to be the connecting link between
Denver and the line now being built
by the Burlington south from Billings,
up the Big Horn river through Owl
canon to Laramie.
The right Of way to Laramie has
been purchased, and incorporation pa
pers and mortgages on the road to
Laramie have been filed at Cheyenne.

Boycott Is Called,

San Francisco.-The National Order
of Railway Telegraphers has swung
the enormous strength of its member
ship and treasury to the support of the
striking commercial telegraphers. In
practically every railroad station In the
United States and Canada the follow
ing message from the national secre-
tary OF the order was received:
''St. Louis. Mo-. Aug. IL. 1907.
ITO All o. r. T. Men in the United
States and Canada:
DO not handle any Western Union
business. We are backing Commercial
Telegraphers' Union of America finan-
cially and are giving them our sup
port. This is critical point in the
history of both organizations. Spread
this to every railroad station you pos
sibly can.
(Signed) az. w. QUICK,
National Secretary o. H. T."
The tremendous Importance of this
order can only be appreciated by those
familiar with the inside workings of
the telegraph. 1t means that fully 20
900 organized railroad operators will
refuse to handle any Western Union
business and that boycott from one
end of the country to another. from
Canada to Mexico, and from the At
lantic to the Pacific, Is on. Seventy
five per cent. of all business handled
by the Western Union either origin
ates at or Is destined to Offices where
only railroad telegraphers are en-
ployed.

Inventor Of the eoomerano.

The boomerang is rather a puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
Of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfecting Of it.
The convexity on one side. the fat.
ness on the other, and the sharp. knife
like edge on the inside Of the con-
vexity have the air of having been
carefully thought out.
Yet the people who invented this
singular weapon cannot count higher
than five and are destitute Of all the
arts and amenities of life. Theirs IL
perhaps the lowest plane Of human
life.
Some people have assumed that the
boomerang was the creation Of an old
or and higher civilization, but for this
there IL no evidence. II must be the
product Of one age long empirical use
Of throwing weapons.

General Strike Expected.

Decentralization that the tele-
graphic business of both the United
States and Canada will be paralyzed
were strengthened when the Western
Union operators in New York city,
$500 strong. walked out. Both the
Postal and Western Union operators
in Chicago are out. and as these are
the two most important points in the
country the wires are already silent
in tho principal cities.
Communications received by Ma
tional Secretary Russell OF the tele-
graphers' union show that the differ.
ent locals will vote overwhelmingly
to strike. A general strike order from
President Small is expected at any
moment.
Denver Operators Join In Walk.out.
Escorted by their striking brothers
and sisters OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. every operator but
one on the force Of the Postal Tele-
graph Company. numbering twenty
five. walked out Of its ofiices in the
Ernest and Cranmer building Monday
morning at ten O'Clock. The one en-
ploye aside from the chief operator
who refused to go on strike is Miss
Mary G. Harm, the only operator who
does not belong to the union.
The walk-out Is the result of the con-
ference between Superintendent w. C.
Black OF the Postal Telegraph and
Cable Company and a committee OF
the operators, made up of Joseph
Homer, G. A. Adams and Christopher
Haines. The committee issued an ul-
timatum to the effect that all non-
union wires were to be stopped by ten
o'clock and non.union employees were
to be discharged.
This the Postal company refused to
agree to, and at $3.50 Mr.. Black was no.
tiied that the union operators In q
body would walk out at ten o'clock.
Prompt to the minute. both men and
women left the building.
They were met by the striking West
ern Union operators and escorted.
amid cheers. to the Club building,
where the two organizations held an
informal open meeting to discuss ways
and means.

received by B. p. Meyers that at ex-

Mr.. Stones reply follows:
New York, August IL, 1907.
To Operators:
received this morning a communi-
cation from a large number Of the op-
orators In the service of the Asso-
ciated Press asking for a changed scale
of wages and hours and requesting a
reply by half past seven O'Clock this
evening.
The changes involved are so radical
in their nature as to add over $780,
900 year. and probably more, to the
expenses of this organization. The
Associated Press is mutual in Its char
acter, makes no profits and has no
surplus fund out Of which such a sum
could be paid. Any such increase must
of necessity be levied back upon the
newspapers as a part of their weekly
assessments. AS general manager,
have no power to make such an in
crease either In salaries or assess
ments without authority from the
board OF directors, and 1t Is obviously
impossible to call this board together
within the time named. The board
consists Of fifteen members, scattered
throughout the entire country.
At the same time. acting under au-
thority heretofore granted me by the
board of directors. l shall be very glad
at any time to meet a committee OF
our own operators and confer with
them respecting hours of service and
compensation with view to making
some recommendation to the next
meeting OF the board of directors,
which shall meet any fair or Just ex-
pectations Of those In our operating
service.
Even were free to act. think you
must agree with me that question of
this magnitude should not be pressed
to q conclusion within the limits Of q
few hours. and without any oppor-
tunity for consultation between my
self and representatives OF our oper-
ating force.

what will be done by the Denver C
Rio Grande at this time. There is
possibility that the question may be re-
ferred to general meeting of rail-
way managers and the trainmen Of the
West. Another possibility is that the
Rio Grande will grant the demand, and
a third solution will be that the entire
question will be left to arbitration. I'm
til the conference is held and both
sides announce their position there is
little likelihood OF any sympathetic
walkout of the Rio Grande men.
Grand Master Morrissey stated that
the conditions on the Colorado C
Southern showed little change. "They
are running their trains with about one
forth Of the usual number of loads and
twice as many men as usual, and even
then you can't always tell whether the
trains will reach their destination or
not. A special passenger train was sent
out of here to Fort Collins in charge of
Conductor jerks and nonunion switch
men. The passengers objected to the
switchmen and they were put off the
train at Utah Junction. 1t made the
trip to Fort Collins and back without
any trainmen or switchmen. While
there was no violation of the rules of
the labor organizations, it was rather
risky for the passengers to travel on
a train without proper equipment and
crews. There are quite a number of
desertions reported among the strike
breakers"
The officials of the Colorado &
Southern report very different con-
dition of affairs.
Moving the Trains.

out of Trinidad Monday" said an Of
ficials. I'VE have 10 our full COM
plement of men and the place of every
striker has been filed. We have seven
teen engines working in the yard
Saturday and Sunday, which is our u.s.
ual number. We also had four working
at night Our passenger business is be-
ing handled in good shape. We took
care of 900 people at the union depot
and sent the trains out on time. The
twenty-five men received makes all
that we need. Besides the eight trains
moved out of Trinidad to Pueblo, We
had one from Trinidad to Texline, and
one from Texline to Trinidad. We sup
ply every industry in Denver with coal
and there is no longer any danger of
them having to shut down. They were
taken care of in good shape"
Vice President Parker was asked If
he would be willing to settle with his
men on the basis of the adjustment on
the Rio Grande, should there be one.
Il can't say whether we would or
not" was the reply. 1T would depend
on the kind of settlement the road
made with it's men. At present there
is no need for us to make any settle
ment. We are doing business in fine
shape. don't see how the Rio Grande
can very we'll grant the demands Of the
