Here is the way an Ohio editor
has of dunning his subscribers:

you ever see an editors pocket
book? Well, tits just as fallible
and prone to emptiness as those of
other common mortals. The news
paper business hasn't yet been
to that degree of pefection that it
can be run without expense, and
until that is successfully done we
shall be under the painful necessity
of asking you for a little cash now
and then, especially now. We
have been patient in some cases
long suffering knowing that your
pocketbookS were about as lean as

The Half Way House.

On the hills he built him a Lodge
of-Life,
Far off from the noise of the angry
strife
While the hours wore on toward
leven;
Twas a sort of a shelter to pass the
night,
Where at evening time it would
still be light
Just halfway home to heaven!
There, out on the Hills of Joy and
Life,
Unreached by the jangle and jar of
strife,
Where the wild birds nest for the
coming night
While the star-fire lamps burned
seven;
Far from the clamor and clang and
din
Twas shutdown there when he en-
tered in
Halfway home on the road to
heaven!
Forsake fears frenzied fret and
care;
we who would enter here;
Rests haven of body and soul re-
pair,
Where hearts agloom for sweet sun
shines air &c.,
Breathe srone with Lies Song
and Cheer.
Let all of the wealth of the world
beside
Fade from thy Visions view;
For above earth's sleepleSs, troubled
tide
Where greed's gaunt, fevered phan-
toms glide.
Smiles Gods glad dream of blue;
Above mans petty contentious
pride,
Deep as His peace of the eyentide.

RAILWAY STRIKE
 QUILTING DOWN

Paris, October 14.-The backbone of the railway strike appears to haye been broken, but rioting occurred today and the government, fearing further disorders tonight, brought additional troops into Paris
 Striking masons, who went out in sym- pathy with the railroad employees, wrecked a freight dray in Mont Martro. in the northern section of the city, and forming in two columns. attempted to parade. The police and republican guards charged and dispersed the strikers. Dur ing the encounter several guards and policemen were injured.
 The tie-up is still practically complete on the western road but service on all other lines is being resumed on a normal basis. The governments fears that riot ing would follow meeting of the strik- CTS tonight led to the placing of 10000 the hall where 1t was held. There were no disturbances other than a few harm less pistol shots and jeers.
 After the meeting 5000 strikers emerged from the hall singing revolutionary airs and shouting Long live the commune .' Mounted troops immediately charged and dispersed the crowd. Among the speak CTS within the hall were M. Jaures and other socialists who adjured the men tc fight to the bitter end. declaring that the revolution in Portugal and the unrest in Spain had brought about the 'physcho- logical moment for the French proletariat to strike an effective blow.N
 The strong military precautions taken by the government, which included the summoning of six regiments from the provinces, was due to the impression that the revolutionary element was try ing to transform the waning strike into open violence. M. Jaures in LHumanite denies that this was the intention of the strikers and urges moderation on their part.

NEW YORK BROKERS
 FAIL IN BUSINESS

New York, October 1.-Two New York bilities aggregating nearly s2000.000. One is the stock exchange firm of Charles Minzesheimer, & Co.,, the other the firm of Thomas G. Gaylord. who was en- gagged in business under the name ot Latham, Alexander & Co.,, cotton brokers. In each case assignment for the benefit of creditors was made. Bainbridge Colby, attorney for the firm, was named as as- signee by the Minzesheimer company.
 With the announcement of assignment creditors of Minzesheimer & Co. filed a petition in involuntary bankruptcy against the concern and Edward G. Ben edct was named as receiver The petition in bankruptcy alleges that the liabili- ties exceed s1,000,00O and consist chiefly of loans from banks and trust compa- nies. The collateral securing these obli- cations is estimated to be worth 20 per cent more than the claims.
 In a statement issued tonight MT. Col by, speaking for a member of the firm, estimated the liabilities at $1,75O,000, with assets of $1,250,00 He said, however, that the embarrassment would be only temporary and predicted an early settle ment with all creditors on a satisfactory basis He denied a report that the firm was heavily interested in the short side of the market.
 The Gaylord failure was not regarded in financial circles of particular signif- icance as the business was only moderate ly large and had no exchange connec- tions
 No statement regarding the finances of the firm was made.

 At the 3000-foot mark he shut. off his engine and glided to earth in a series of spiral maneuvers. His feat evoked ex- pressions of admiration from the foreign aeronauts who are here for the interna- tional balloon race next Monday. Jacques Faure of France, who, as pilot of the Condor, is to start the race, said he be- 1ieved Johnstone had lost control of his machine when he started on his rapid de- scent.
 Tt Is most marvellous" he declared to the Associated Press. We have nothing like this fancy flying in our country. Our aviators are content with straight away flying and speed records"

Mobile, October 14.-(Special.)-R W.
