HONESTY HAS
No REWARD

Mnen a vagabond sort of chap
about two months ago appeared in
the police station with pair of
leg-irons and told the officers,
mike, he sent his shackles back"
the cops then and there made up
their minds that for that base in
suit to them Mike Shomers, II
ever caught. would be forced to
serve out every day of his fine on
the rockpile.
Mike, who was sentenced for
vagrancy ON general principles
some time ago, made a sensational
escape from the chain gang, sneak
ing off under cover of rocky pro-
lection and the noise of the ham
mer on the drill. A couple of days
afterward Mike, who had in the
meantime cut his shackles with the
aid of a friend, sent them back
with his compliments.
Evere since the one consuming
ambition of every policeman on the
force was the capture of Mike. De.
tectives Miles and Burns were hik

saw Mike coming toward them
Complacently and quite at peace
with himself and the world. Sc
they corralled him and today he is

INDIANS STRIKE
AGAINST CH|NK

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c.,
Sept. 19.-Agitation against orien-
tails, which seems to have died out
among the whites, has spread to
the Indians in northern British Co
lumbia.
Word has been received here
that the Indians employed at
Skedegate absolutely refuse to eat
food cooked by Japanese or Chi
nese.
The Indians are making stipula-
tons with their employers that
they be not asked to work with
orientals at any time.
AS the different industries at
Skedegate are dependent upon the
Indians for manual labor, the In
dian boycott against the Asiatics
has so far been successful.
A large number of Chinese have
been compelled to return south
because of the attitude of the red
champions of white and native
labor"
