Literary Coincidence.

The Lonely Sehwarsnbaeh Inn and .
Literary Coincidence.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once walked
over the Gemmi. He was much i'm
pressed by the desoiate appearance of
the lonely looking Schwarenbach inn
scene in which a novelist might locate
story of mystery and crime.
He proceeded to invent story of
mystery and crime suitable to the
creepy environment. 1t was story Of
murder-the murder Of long lost son
Just home from the wars by his own
father. the needy innkeeper. who did
not recognize him until after the deed
was done. but had resolved to kill and
rob the first lonely stranger that
passed that way with money in his
pocket.
The very thing" thought Sir Ar
thur and he went down the hill cheer
fully revolving the morbid conception
in his mind. Then a strange thing hap
pened.
After dinner. in the hotel at Leuker-
bad, he picked up volume of Maui
PEASANTS short stories and he found
that the French author had not only
been to the Schwarenbach inn before
him. but had actually located there a
story practically identical with the one
which he himself hal just devised

Prompt Punishment Of a Liar.

Years ago the courthouse in San
Francisco fronted the old Plaza. A
trial was in progress, and counsel for
the defendant was cross examining
the plaintiff, An earthquake shook
the chandeliers and dislodged some OF
the ceiling. Judge, jurors. witnesses
and spectators rushed for the door;
but, finding that the seismic disturb
ance was over, they returned.
You can proceed with the cross ex-
animation of the Witness" said the
judge.
Pardon me, your honor" said coun-
sci for the defendant, but after the
late exhibition Of the displeasure of
the Almighty ut the lies this witness
was telling I do not care to further
invoke divine wrath. I will ask him
no more questions" - Los Angeles

Expecting Too Much.

"a rather tinicky old chap who was
travelling off the beaten paths struck a
somewhat shabby hotel. which was
principally used by workmen from q
nearby construction camp. He paid
dollar in advance for room and break
fast, the clerk remarking caustically
that "a suit case isn't a guarantee
that the. bill will be paid, especially
when a guy has a room on the second
floor" And just before midnight the
indignant Mr. Smith piled down into
the hotel Office. almost dressed.

Horses In the Time of Homer.

The horses used in Homer's time
were war horses. The warriors were
drawn in chariots. The art of riding
was known, but it is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the
time of his shipwreck ''bestrode a
plank, like horseman on a big steed."
There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that Of driving. and the myth OF
speare, man is incorpsed and demina-
tured with the beast" probably orig
mated at an early period when the ap-
pearance of man on horseback was a
novel sight.

when his turn came to ask one at a
little social party he thought he could
remember good one he had heard. 1t
was the old riddle:
'Why is n woman like the ivy?"

Because the more you're ruined the
closer she sticks"
But he got 1t mixed and asked:

ventured this maladroit solution:
Because the closer it clings the

1ROLLEYMEN NOT LIKELY TO ASK
 WAGE INCREASE
DESPITE STORY FROM WATER BURY MEMBERS OF BRIDGE PORTUNION SAYNO ACTION ON TRIPS, HOURS AND PAY SCALE HAS BEEN TAKEN HERE.

Despite the statement made this morning in a Waterbury newspaper, the members of the Bridgeport local of the trolleymen's union are not like ly to unite with the Waterbury local in a demand for higher wages and a different arrangement as to trips and hours. Several members of the union with whom a Farmer reporter talked this morning denied that such ques- tions had been discussed at the union meeting and also denied that the or- ganization was contemplating any such action.
 According to the Waterbury news paper, the trolleymen in that city do not receive the same rate of wages as is paid to the employees of the, Con, necticut company in New Haven and Hartford The shop "trippers" are another cause for complaint by the Waterbury trolleymen. These cars are manned by extra men and by the men who have night runs. The kickers want some other arrangement made in regard to these t'tripper" runs.
 The old scale of wages which is now in force with the Connecticut Com pany was arranged some time ago and is about to expire. According to the story from Waterbury the trolleymen want another agreement and a rate

 The different branches of the troll leymens' union in Connecticut are known as the Amalgamated Order of Street Railway employees. Their joint conference board which Is made up of representatives from unions in al- most every city in the state has been instrumental is securing better condi- tions for the trolley employees.
 A meeting of this board is to be held very shortly when the matter in question will be brought up. Mem- bers of the local trolleymens' union with whom the Farmer reporter talk ed this morning said that they had heard nothing of an attempt to de- mand higher wages and that they be- lieved that the, same scale of wages now in forcesin New Haven and Hart ford was in force in Bridgeport. They could tell nothing about the rate Of wages paid in Hartford.
 At a recent meeting of Bridgeport branch of the trolleymen's union held in COncordia hall the following of Dooley; vice-president, Clayton Bar rett; recording secretary. J. Pldnkett: financial secretary William Pixley: treasurer Homer Blackman.
