OMAHA, Neb August l5.-S. j Small,
president of the Commercial Tclegraphers'
Union passed through this city today on
Lis way to Chicago. where he is speeding TO
confer with his collea CUES regarding future
strike policies.
When seen by The Stars correspondent,
President Small was most emphatic in his
declaration that the strike was in splendid
shape; that both the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies were very
seriously crippled. and that the dissatisfied
operators would win out in the end.
Most important among his utterances on
the strike question was his declaration that
within forty-eight hours not a wire would
he open or key working within the boun-
DIARIES Of the United States.
lie qualified this. of course with the
statement that his remark would only hold
good In case the officials of the two COM
panies remained obdurate But President
Small seemed to believe that the strike
would be on for some time before there was
a definite settlement
Mr. Small added
81 will go iuto conference with my col
leagues at oace. The attitude taken by
both companies in Chicago is dictated from
New York. Whether o. not the New York
officials have one eye on the distorted re-
ports sent ont by the Associated Press and
the other on the small crowd of strike
breakers. I cannot, of course, say, but l do
know that there are not enough telegraph
ers IN the United States and Canada to
move the business Of Chicago TO say moth
ing of the rest of the country. AS matters
now stand We must have assurances from
the highest authorities of both companies,
backed up by the guarantee from govern
mcnt officials that they force the two com
panies TO live up to any agreement that
may be reached by arbitration or other
wise before we will return to work. l per-
sonaIly regret the inconvenience 10 the pub
lie but the companies ignored us for five
years and said We did not have the nerve
TO strike"

When Africa Bees Get Angry.

full little piece of natural history 1t
would be hard to find.
A few days ago a suburban dweller
found this out to his cost. A clumsy
native upset a hive and Immediately
the air was full OF winged anger. The
native was wise and cleared, but poor
unfortunate goat and few pigs, quite
innocent of the danger, lay on the plot
and were soon covered with the in
furiated honey-gatherers.
The result was that the goat died
and two pigs had to be killed. The
rest Of the pigs buried themselves in
the mud Of handy stream, but 1t was
few days before they recovered from
the furious onslaught. Four fowls
were also killed.-Rhodesia Herald.

Snail Sheep Year.

Most people would be Mortified to
learn that the finest mutton in the
world comes from sheep fat,ened on
snails," says large breeder of
Southdown sheep; nevertheless it Is
fact. In seasons when snails are
plentiful the mutton from our sheep
has a delicious flavor which it never
acquires from the most scientific form
Of feeding. On the continent a diet
Of snails is a regular cure for con-
sumptiyes and is said to fatten and
nourish the body in wonderful way.
There is a popular superstition"
he adds, that the unique and delicate
flavor of Southdown mutton is due
largely to the quantity of wild thyme
which they crop with the grass in
their pastures. But personally | give
the snails the greater part OF the cred
it for the safe. plump flesh and the
sweetness Of flavor in our celebrated
sheep. So much is this the case that
the saying Good snail year. good

proverb among shepherds and breed

Catherine of Braaanza.

Catherine of Braganza, queen consort
Of Charles H., Of Great Britain, was
born in Portugal November 20, 1888,
and was named in honor Of st. Gather
inc, having been born on that saints
day. When she was two years old her
father the Duke of Braganza, became
king of Portugal, assuming the title of
Juan ~.
When Catherine was but six years
old her father made overtures to
Charles /. of Great Britain, regarding
a marriage between her and the young
Prince of Wales, afterwards Charles
II. But these negotiations came 10
naught. and it was not till II years lat
er that a marriage between the infanta
and the Prince of Wales was arranged.
There was much opposition in England
to the king taking a Roman Catholic
queen, and he had some difficulty In
bringing about marriage with the
Portugal Princess and heiress,
But Catherine was the oae who call
ed for pity. Her union with Charles
brought great unhappiness into her
life. He was a monster of infdelity
and heaped wrongs, insults and humil-
ity upon her helpless shoulders. She
bore her wrongs and gross neglect with

How Men Changed Their Color.

A new State paper says that tho
Seminole Indians believed that when
the Great Spirit created this world he
made three men, all fair of skin.
He led them to a lake and made
them jump in. The first obeyed and
came out whittier than when he entered
the waters; the second hesitated, go
ing into the lake when the water was
a trihe muddy, hence came out cop
per colored; the third leaped in and
came out black.
According to the legend the Great
Spirit then led them TO three bundles,
asking each to choose one. The black
man chose the heaviest, which was
found TO contain spades, hoes and 9TH
er implements used in the performance
of manual labor; the second found in
his sack fishing rod, a gun and war
like weapons; the white man chose
the sack which contained pen, ink and
paper and this, so the story goes, laid
the foundation for his superiority over
other races-Kansas City Journal.
