gets s25, the editor gives5the loud
lunged youngster and the happy
parents "send-off" and gets SO,
II is christened; the minister gats
SO and the editor gets 500. 1t
grows up and marries; the editor
publishes another lorg-winded,
fowery article and tells a dozen
lies about the beautiful accom-
plisbed blide., the minister gets
SO aud g piece of cake, the edi.
tor gets 5000. In the course OF
time it dies, and the doctor gets
from $25 TO 500; the minister
perhaps another SIS, the under
1taker gets from $50 to 500, the
editor publishes e notice OF the
death and an obituary two 'ol-

WEAVERS STRIKE AT
THE WOODEN MILLS
Twenty-Five of the Crawford Oper
atives Quit Work But All co
Back Again.

From The World of Tuesday:
Some excitement was occasioned at
the Crawford Wooden mills this morn
ing when about twenty-five weavers
quit work and walked out. Happily,
however, the excitement among the
mill operatives was allayed at one
o'clock this afternoon when all re-
turned to their looms when the whfs-
tie blew it's welcome blast
The trouble grew out of fines i'm
posed by tine company on the weavers
for imperfect work, but which the lat
ter claim were excessive and unrea-
sonable This condition of things led
to petition being signed being sign
by about rs of the weavers asking
that the fines might be greatly reduc-
ed. This petition was presented to
Mr.. Thomas L. Dunn, general super.
intendent of he Crawford Wooden Co.,
who prepared an answer to the dis
satisfied weavers and which was read
at a meeting held by them last even
ing. The letter explaining the com.
pany's side of the controversy was
satisfactory, it would seem, to two
| thirds of the signers because, as said
they went to work as usual this morn
ing, while the remainder laid of til
noon today when they decided to gc
back to work.
