their ability to win.
From ali over the district comes the
report now that good order obtains
throughout. After yesterdays holiday
more men are at work in the different
mines. In all of the collierieS in OPP
Grafton several men reported for work
today who have not been at work since
the first day of the strike, and these
are in addition to quite number who
are new men and have gone to WORT,
for the first time. There comes the re
port from Dominion No. / that condi-
tons keep improving. The output from
the colliery yesterday was 1921 tons
and this is regarded as quite satisfac-
tory by the Provincial Workmens AS
sociation leaders, more especially il
view of the fact that a considerable
number from this mine are attending
the Orange celebration in Sydney.
The exact state of affairs in the col
licry the different parties of the strike
will not agree upon. The real facts arc
that while the mine is not doing very
much, it is not tied up, Dominion No
today found conditions very much
the same as yesterday, with the eXcep-
ton that number of men who We're
attending the Orange picnic yesterday
reported for work today. In addition
to these about a dozen men turned VI
and went to work who had been ou
since the declaration of the strike The
output frCm this colliery yesterday was
10 tons. The total output from all the
aollieries yesterday was over 5000 tons
Men are being brought in from out

President Taft Is Keep.
ing Bachelors Hall.
Doesn't Mind Hot Weather, But
Does Enjoy Playing Golf.
Takes Great Pleasure In Reading
Letters from Mrs. Taft.

Washington, July 13.-President Taft,
the summer bachelor of the White
House. As sharing the fate of many
other government officials and Wash
ington residents whose families have
gone away to mountains or seashore.
The President is taking the situation
phiIosophicaIly does not seem greatly
to mind the hot weather and is read
ing daily with great delight letters
from Beverly which tell of the rapid
Improvement in Mrs. Tafts health
Living bachelor fashion at the White
House is no fraught with the same dls-
comforts that beset the mere man who
has his home "closed up on him." when
his wife goes away.
The President and Mrs. Taft divided
the White House "help" when the oc-
cupancy of the Beverly cottage was be-
gun, so the President is well taken
care of and domestic affairs at the
White House run on much the same.
The president, however. allowed Mrs
Taft to take the FIRST cook" to Beverly
while he makes himself content with
the second cook" The second cook is
a legacy from the Roosevelt admins
tration, Negro girl named Mary, who
halls from Old Virginia and whose
SWAY over the White House kitchens
now is complete Mary has few poors
as cook, but, as is to be supposed
she is at her best when frying chickens
and making hoe cakes.
The President has happily solved the
problem of disposing of the long even
ings by taking long automobile rides
about the city and surburbs. Capt
Archibald Butt, the Presidents aide, is
always his companion on these jour
news and usually the President also in
vites some cabinet officer, senator OF
representative.
Arising at about o'clock the Presi-
dent devotes nearly an hour witt
dumbbels, pulley weights and other
forms of exercises prescribed for him
He breakfasts slowly, usually alone
although during the past day or two he
has had "a guest from among the tariff
'conferecs. During his morning meal
and for half an hour or so afterward
the President reads the newspapers
Between $50 and 10 he begins his bust
ness in the executive offices. At 1.3t
comes luncheon at the White House
ALWAYS with some invited guest for
company.
The afternoon is devoted to golf, for
the President hopes to play every af-
tcrnoon that he remains in Washing

Could Not Fool Him.

Many years ago, when Londoners
had not the excursion facilities for
getting into the country that they now
enjoy, Charley, a cockney, was staying
at farmhouse of some relatives. He
soon made himself at home, says a
writer in Tid-Bits.
One day, wandering round, he was
seen closely examining the top, ends
and sides of certain trim, well-made
object, fenced round in paddock.
He stared at it for a little while
and then shook his head obviously.
What are you looking for now,
Charley?" inquired his farmer uncle
Where's the door and windows?"
doors and windows? Why, that.
not house, it's a haystack."
"No, dear uncle" said Charley, sage.
ly; you don't humbug me. Hay doe:
not grow in Jumps like that"
