much more remarkable than their

'As this novelist, shabby and
cold" said Mr.. Harrington, was
walking ON Fifth avenue one wintry
afternoon, there glided past the mag

had bought out one OF the poor fell

"T'he publisher signaled to his

ALL THEY WANTED WAS PIE
Something Of a Pity That All Labor

In the course of some light-hearted

fine country house in the Berkshire

ed from the neighboring villages. were
boarded at nearby farmhouses. Be-
fore long they all went out on strike
The superintendent in charge was
powerless. The contractor hurriedly
took an express train for the Berk-
shires. and on arriving. Immediately
demanded an interview with the lead
ers of the strike.
What's the matter" he demanded.

What is the trouble?"

said the spokesman
"Abominable!' agreed the builder.
