No one formerly looked on with any
pity or even horror at punishments
which are now found too dreadful for
description. Men were broken on the
wheel. We're burned at the stake. were
racked, We're cut up alive. No one
seems to have felt any pity for theii
agonies. Men We're put into noisomc
prisons, where, with bad air and in
sufficient food, they died unnoticed
and unpitled. 1t is very different now

When a rooster finds big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm yard
to come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature is to be observed
when a man discovers something eX-
ceptionally good-he wants all his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits of his discovery This is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamberlain's

NEGOTIATIONS BROKEN OFF.
Coal Operators Will Now Deal Direct
With President Lewis.

Pittsburg, April 2.---As the result Of
the inability of the joint committee of.
the operators and miners of western
Pennsylvania to reach an agreement
on a wage scale and working rules
negotiations have been broken off and
the operators will now deal directly
with National President II. l.. Lewis
and other national officers. The joint
meeting of miners and operators ad-
iourncd sine die today, apparently no
nearer an agreement than when it con-
vencd
After the adjournment of the scale
committee the operators sent a teTe-
gram to President Lewis of the miners
organization, accepting his invitation
to meet in Indianapolis on Monday. At
q meeting tomorrow a committee of
operators will be appointed to attend
the Indianapolis meeting. where it will
be decided whether or not another in
terstatc conference will be held.
Not all of the operators are in favor
Of reviving the interstate agreement
which may be the outcome of the con-
ference at Indianapolis, but all seem
glad that Lewis has taken Il hand in
the matter If the plan to hold an in
terState conference is not successful.
it is said the district committees will
hold other meetings in Pittsburg.
One of the important developments
today was the announcement by vessel
owners that they will not operate on
the lakes until the big steel interests
authorize them to begin ore shipments.
AS a result there will be no large de-
mand for coal. and the operators are
in no jury to resume.
