KING HERoD's ROOSTER.
The Legend of ST. Stephen, First of
the Noble Army OF Martyrs.


Ever since that first Christmas eve
the cock has crowed all night long on
the anniversary to keep away evil
spirits, for the cock Is holy bird and
knowing one. There is pleasant
tale of him and st. Stephen, the first
martyr, whose day is Dec. 20, close by
his dear Lords.
st. Stephen was King Herod's stew
ard, 1t seems, who served him in the
kitchen and at table. One night as he
was bringing In the boar's head for his
masters dinner he saw the star shin

born"
What aileth thee?" cried the king
wrathfully. do you lack meat or
drink that you would desert my serv-
ice for another's?"
NAY" answered Stephen; 81 lack
neither meat nor drink, but the Child
that Is born this night is greater than
all OF us, and him only will ] serve"
THAT Is as true" quoth Herod, smit-
ing the table with his fist, las that this
roast cock on the platter shall crow be-
fore u.s."

mouth when the cock stretched his
neck and crowed Justify, "Christus ma

reason why unto this day st. Stephen

Heart
Troubles


The heart may be weak
just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs.
1t often happens that a
person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis
ease, fevers, over-exertion,
anxiety, nervousness,
rheumatism, etc. weaken
the heart. The result is
shortness of breath, pal
pitation, pain in the heart,
or in some of the nerves
of the chest or abdomen.
The heart should be
strengthened with a tonic,
and for this nothing equals

NO REDUCTION IN
R!. WAGES, SAYS
GOMPERs

NEW YORK. Feb. 2l.-Samuel
Gompers, president OF the American
Federation or Labor, hurried here
from Washington and held important
relative to the threatened
reduction OF wages by railroad lines
the country.
Mr.. Gompers. at the headquarters
OF the National Civic Federation, said:~
The wages OF the railroad men can
not stand q reduction. The cost or
living has been increasing faster than
the wages. which. in fact. have not
been increasing at all.
Under the Erdman law, the presi-
dent has empowered the interstate
commerce commission to make an i'm
mediate investigation and to report
as soon as possible.
Don't Want Strikes.
I'VE do not want any strikes
Strikes are to be avoided except as q
last resort and In nine cases out OF
ten. II both sides be willing. the trou-
BILE can be settled by arbitration"
Conferences OF representatives or
the various railroad organizations in
New York state were held In this city
and II was decided that under no cir
cumstances would they consent To a
reduction OF the present wage scale.
Hartman Has His Say.
President Roosevelts letter to the
interstate commerce commission ask
ing that the reasons for proposed re-
auctions Of wages be ascertained and
the data prepared for report. stirred
up railroad financiers. K. II. Hartman
said when asked IL the investigation
would do harm:
''Of course 1t will do harm. Any
thing that continues to stir up strife
and animosity must be harmful. This
whole thing is a matter that should be
question between employer and en-
ploye. What we want to do now Is TO
get men back to work.
But" he added with emphasis, I'VE
cannot accomplish anything until we
get a chance to do some permanent
financing. While the country Is being
stirred up in this way things must re-
main at standstill and we must ex-
pect trouble. That's plain enough.
