Tailed EnuIishr1cn.

Natives of southern Arabia believe
that Christians wear hats only to hide
their horns. Formerly the continent
of Europe cluug to the conviction that
the Englishman's neither garments CON
ccaled tail So late as the reign of
Edward VI, according to Bale. "an
Englyshmun cannot travayle in anoth-
er land by way of marchandyse or
any other honest occupyinge, but it Is
most contumeliouSly thrown into his
tethe that all Englyshmen have ta..s."
The belief probably arose from the
legend of the "Kentish Longtails."
The people of either Canterbury or
Strood (for the legend variesl Knocked
at Beckett as he rode by on an ass
and cut of the ass tail. Wherefore
they and their descenda nts were cursed
with tails thenceforth. At least so

Waco and Arkansas.

Every town has right to pronounce

Years ago Texas was represented by
two senator's. one of whom called the
town "Way-ke," whereas the other in
sisted it was "Wuck-ko." The reading
clerks had Il merry time. If the word

tor woGd make n complaint, and vice
versa.
II recalls the time when Arkansas
was represented in the senate by Gar
und and Walker. one insisted that
the state should be called "Arkansas,"
!ust as 1t is spelled. The other always
insisted upon "Arkansaw." John j.

the senate in those days, had the mat.

city, late last night by trolley car
load of alleged st. Louis strike -beak-
ers, there were no serious demonstra-
tions against the trolley cars in opera
tion early today.
o. o. Pratt, the organizer of the car
men, this morning renounced the af-
fair in Frankford, where three men
and 14-year-old girl are in hospital
suffering from slight bullet wounds
received when the crowd of trolley
men shot from swiftly moving car
into the crowd. He said it was the
usual last resort of the desperate
strike breaker, who, finding every
thing quiet, shoots up a town to create
trouble.
Although many lines are again run
ming today without any sign of trou-
BILE, much apprehension is felt as to
the outcome of the feeling stirred up
by last nights attack in FrankfoId.
The police are Investigating and are
trying to fix the blame for the reckless
gun play.
1t is alleged that the strike breakers
on learning that one of their number
had been injured by stone thrown
while he was operating car. decided
to get revenge and took ont a trolley
without the permission of the COM
pany. Running down Frankford avenue
they shot into every crowd they saw
and quickly returned to the barn by a
cross-over switch.
Although Director of Public Safety
Clay still declares that the general
strike feeling is on the wane the labor
leaders declare that they are steadily
gaining ground. Many meetings OF
unorganized workers are being adj
dressed by prominent labor organizers
each day and night and they report
many converts to the cause of trade
unionism. Many of the special dis
pen sations are being withdrawn by
the union and it is declared 600 bak'
ers will join the strike today.
Strike leaders today said they had
no reasons to change their estimates
that between 1876, 900 and $50, 600 per,
sons are idle as result of the calling
of the general strike. The city admin
stration still continues to belittle the
walkout, Director of Public Safety
Henry Clay adhering to his estimate
that less than 20, 900 workers respond
ed to the strike call. The directors
/ figures are considered too low, as hosi.
cry manufacturers, only one branch OF
the textile industry of the city, admit
that %, 900 workers in their line alone
are now idle.

The Color of Water,

The waters of the seas, lakes, rivers
and streams in general are very often
colored. For instance, the water of
the Mediterranean sea is not colorless,
but green-blue; also there is brilliant
red river in South America. The ST.
Lawrence, in Canada, is pale green
and the Ottawa golden brown. Where
these two rivers meet quite frequently
whole broad patches remain unmixed.
Here is gold patch and there a green
one. Otherwise than this water re-
fleets the colors of its surroundings,
and so called Emerald pool" in the
White mountains is green because the
birches on its borders in early summer
are brilliant green. The Blue grotto,
in Capri. Italy, shows remarkably
rich color. near TO green-blue, because
all the light received in that grotto
comes through the water at its en-
trance, and, as has been said. the Med

RAPID PROMOTIONS.

The numerous vacancies that occur
is probably not due so much to in
dustrial activity as to the rapid pro-
motions that take place among type,
writers and stenographers. These, if
capable and ambitious, soon master the
details of their employers business
and become valuable in other depart
ments, when they are moved upward.
All of which demonstrates that there
never was time of greater promise
for young men and women who are
willing TO work as well as the fact
that the Danville school board when
it added the commercial department
to the high school took step that the
community has no cause to regret.
That the class is not larger the pres
ent year is neither here nor there. The
very best of work is being done, and
the classes have been larger in the

future when the young people come to

DEMAND GREATER
THAN THE SUPPLY

Mr.. f. W. Magill, teacher of the
commercial department of the Dan
vile high school, states that the de-
mand for typewriters and stenograph-
ers far exceeds the supply of the same,
the condition being one that has had
no parallel since he has been engaged
in school work.
Mr.. Magiil is continually in receipt
of inquiries from business firms who
have positions to fill and are badly in
such that it generally pays the mem
bers of the senior class that are profici-
ent to leave school at once, foregoing
the distinction of formally graduating
at the end of the term. In addition to
Raymond L. Johns, who has entered
the Office OF the Danville Foundry and
Machine company, Clyde Hallman, a
member of the graduating class, has
accepted a position with Hayes &

on his duties as soon as the firm be-

ACTIVITY IN
TRADE CIRCLES

The revivifying effect of the breath
of spring is manifest in the renewed
activity in trade circles. The general
awakening is, probably, accelerated
by the approach of Easter, which is
only trifie over two weeks distant
The stores ofstown have never taken
on more attractive appearance nor
revealed a more comprehensive and
diversified stock of goods, thus early
in the month of March.
Danville merchants have earned the
reputation of being wide awake and
progressive. The stores of town in all
that makes them attractive and ap-
peals to buyers have always stood
abreast of the very best stores of this
section, taking in many of the larger
towns. That none Of them this spring
will be eclipsed by past effort is quite
apparent from the preparation being
made for the Easter trade. .
