suddenly broke into such a rhapsody that
the air resounded with 1t. The birds

Jack did not doubt that this was the

alone in the world, he took her home and
placed her in his mothers arms.

COMING OF
THE FIREFLTES

Last night the stars were covered deep
In clouds the wind had woven all day;
The world without a shadow lay,
So closely did the darkness creep;
Without a hickering leaf at play,
So sound the wind was fallen asleep.
A twinkle in the hedge near byi
A twinkle In the arbor therel
A spangle. spangle everywhere
Breaking the black, ms though the sky
Had spilled its stars a-down the air.
Or set them winging suddenly!
Now every lower fiaunts a light,
And every fields a cloth of gold,
And every hilltop seems to hold
Beacon on beacon f1aring bright.
Twas like a fairy tale Of old
The way the ~firefies came last night.

ming in 1902, when. with Governor
Peabody, legislature was elected
that was pledged to pass an eight
hour law. Such a statute had pre-
viously been passed, but was declared
unconstitutional by the Colorado SUI
preme court. To obviate this diff
Guilty, an amendment to the constitu-
ton was voted on in the 1902 election
and received majority of $4,000.
The amendment thus provided by pop
ular vote was as follows:
"The general assembly shall pro-
vide by law, and shall prescribe suit
able penalties for the violation ther-
of, for period of employment not to
exceed eight hours within any twen-
ty-four hours Except in cases of
emergency where life or property is
in imminent danger). for persons en-
ployed in underground mines or other
underground workings. blast furnaces,
shelters and any ore reduction works
or any other branch of industry and
labor that the general assembly may
consider injurious or dangerous to
health. life or limb"
Despite the fact that both the re-
publican and democratic parties had
been pledged in their platforms to
enact such law. the state legisla-
ture proceeded to forget it immediate
ly upon assembling, and Governor
Peabody said or did nothing to re-
mind the recreant legislature of their
duty.
The corporations established a lob
by to defeat the measure, and sue
ceeded. Enraged by the treachery of
the legislators, the miners shortly
afterward inaugurated strike that
became the most memorable labor
struggle in all history. The mine
owners sowed the seed of defiance
to law. and reaped the whirlwind of
revolution. The anarchists in red
shirts and the anarchists in broad
cloth Joined issue, and the battle was
fought to finish.

Blowing Out of Safety Plug

Monday evening as Howard DAN

safety plug in the pipe blew out and
struck him in the eye. Young
Danaher had his face only few in

accident and the steam inflicted fright
full burns on his face and forehead.
The victim has since been confined
to his home and has been unable to
see anything with the injured eye.
Attending physicians still hope to
save the eyesight, although present
prospects are not the brightest. The
burns will leave bad scar on the
young mans face.

for sometime with the Grand Forks

UNCERTAINTY

Wave of Speculation Per-

Annotated Pres. Cable to The Evening

Annotated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Berlin, May 15.-Interviews with a
number of leading grain merchants
and members of the produce section
of the bourse here disclose feeling
of great uncertainty in connection
with the grain situation. Dealers gen
orally are disposed to regard the
present wave of speculation as being
an exaggeration. All admit, however.
that the United States at this moment
holds the key to the international stu
alton, but the tendency is to believe
that the situation and reports of crop
shortage are exaggerated. as far as
the European situation is concerned.
Merchants add that it is also prema-
ture to predict heavy shrinkage of
the production as factor in the gen.
eral yield.
Various reports of poor crop pros
poets in Germany, Hungary, Rumania
and Russia are playing role in the
price movement here. The German
winter crop is admitted to be much
delayed and considerable acreage was
frozen out, but nevertheless good
hopes are entertained that spring
planting will overcome the shortage
due to winter damage.
