The Reason.

(By Byron Williams.)
When Henry Higginson comes back
To spend week or So
Frum livin' in tn city's mart
A-visitin his Flo,
We allus meet at Ripley's store
To hear of city ways
And argify with him about
Which kind o. livin' pays.
HanA allus tells us all TIL news;
How he wuz robbed one night,
And how tn strikers lost his job
An shut the shops up tight!
An then he tells how far he rid
Fer five cents on a car.
And what he paid one night fer lunch
BY iinks, that WUS a jar!
And then Jim Andrews SEE, b'gosh,
He's sick o. country ways
And we will find him in N York
Well, one of these fine days!
But Hank, he gifts real earnest then,
An takin' off his hat,
He wipes his forehead, rubbin' hard,
And gives it to us FLAT!
He sez we're gist a pack O fools
To pine fer city blocks,
Fer ever yearnin' fer a chance
To dip in bonds err stocks
He SEE: "Why, 'damit,' don't you know
How fortunate you be,
A Twin here, in peace and ease,
The simple life." sez he
,rhen why" asts Ezry, speakin' up,
Don't you cum back to stay?"
An Henry swallers hard an SEE:
"Tm comm back some day."
/ think. b'gosh. it's gist like this:
TIL city spiles a cuss
Fer Twin where he doesn't FIT,
Err here at home with us!

round house was the busiest spot
about the shops. and several of the
big engines were ready to leave.
The woods are full of hunters to-
day, and the bang of guns was heard
in the fields too. Many of the shop
men are good nimrods, and every Sat
urday since the shutdown, they have
shouldered their guns and started af-
ter RABBITS. S. B. Whitner, William
Morgan, John Ford and James Ford

NOIS MINING DISTRICT.

Bush, H., Jan. 25.-Though a clash
has not yet occurred between the
several hundred Italian miners and
the authorities, there remains great
danger and the situation today is
being closely watched.
The Western Coal Mining company
revoked its order and will not at
tempt to evict Italians from company
houses until the excitement has
somewhat subsidized.
American union miners have re-
fused to displace the Italians, 1t is
said. ~
The affair has taken on more OF
the aspects OF a race war than before.
