THE DISPATCH
BEARER
A Story For Memorial
Day
BY Captain F. A. mitchell

Mcclellan was moving up the penlnsu.
la lying between the James and the
York rivers. Somewhere to the north
OF richmond between that city and
washington was an army under Gen.
eral Mcdowell.
one day an officer wearing the blue
uniform Of the United States and the
yellow shoulder straps Of a captain OF
cavalry, followed by an orderly, was
riding amid the dust kicked up by his
horse midway between these two ar
mics. The hour was noon, the day
was hot, and the horses or both officer
and orderly were jaded. Coming to a
plantation In the center OF which stood
Il manor house bearing the architec.
tural marks of having been built In
colonial times, the captain turned his
horses head In between two stone pill
lars and rode up the lane under arched
trees, making straight for the stable
There, dismOunting, he strobe toward
the door, which stood open. A darby
sitting ON barrel arose as he APP
preached.
"Got any fresh horses in here, un-
cle?" said the captain.

neckwear ruffied shirt, blue coat

something In his thoroughbred manner
that made the captain ashamed Of go

the officer in an apologize tone, "to

LEGEND OF THE lRooUols
Canadian Indians Have Their Own
Way Of Accounting for the Five
Races Of Men.

The 1roquois Indians of Canada, in
their efforts to account to themselves
for the existence of the FIVE races Of
men with which they are acquainted,
have shaped the following legend: In
the beginning the Great Spirit, in or
der to people the earth, went about
making q man Of each nation. He
took q lump Of earth and nodded it
into a man. This first man was a
negro. Then he took another lump
and nodded another man. This was
Chinaman. Then he made an Indian
in the same way, and gave life to all
three.
But two men, Frenchmafi and an
Englishman, remained to be created,
and no earth was at hand wherewith
to make them. What was to be done?
The Great Spirit reached out his arm
and seized the first animal that came
in his way. It was a butterfly. The
Great Spirit clipped off It's wings,
added arms and legs, breathed upon
1t to give it a soul and set it down
In corner of the earth. This was
the first Frenchman.
Again extending his arm, the Great
Spirit seized another animal It was
an ant. It was treated as the butter
fly had been; It was given the face
and soul of man, and was set down
In another coner of the earth. This
was the first Englishman.
This explains, says the Idoauois
story, why the English and the French
have always been able to make their
way SO easily about the earth. Made
out Of animals, and not from Jumps Of
earth, they go everywhere, and sur
pass the poor negro and Indian and
Chinaman in all things. This accounts,
too, for the difference in the charac-
ter of the Englishman and the French
man. The one has always preserved
something of the industrious charac-
ter Of the ant, and the other some
thing Of the light ways of the butter

the royal domain
This is the road his majesty has
tsken," said the captain, indicating
the new rutS of the. wheels. we
should catch UP with him shortly, un-
less he has driven fast. Shall we
trot?"
We pressed our horses fanks and
the animals broke into trot. Now
we were entering upon the great for
est which stretches, almost without
break, clear to the Finnish border. For
an hour or more we logged along hri-
ale paths. At last the captain drew
rein.
'Maledictions." he cried. The car
Fiage must have returned by the alter
nate route. We may catch it at the
crossroads. Your girth is loose" he
added. ''The buckle is chafing your
horse. Feel with your hand-so."
l placed my hand upon my horses
aank. Suddenly the world appeared to
:evolve-earth, forest and sky whirled
before my eyes. When things grew
clearer l was lying unhorsed in the
middle of the wagon road, and my
stallion was racing madly homeward.
Then, even as ! watched in astonish-
ment, the captain wheeled and, with a
mocking salute, was off at swift trot,
leaving me lying there, half stunned
and helpless.
A Doors trick, a typical grand ducal
jest, to play with trick horse upon a
stranger, thought. But at least our
purpose had been accomplished. Every
revolution OF the carriage wheels only
took the czar further from the con-
spirators and left more sure vantage
for Prince George. These thoughts
consoled me as limped on through the
gathering darkness. The windings OF
the road appeared tnterminable. AZ
last l realized that was hopelessIy
lost. staggered on in what thought
was the right direction, now falling In
to some ditch, now trapped in one of
the numerous bogs of that region; then
out and fsverishly onward till, too tired
to attempt the road further, lay down
beneath g tree and slept.
When opened my eyes 1t was broad
daylight. The sun was high in the sky.
MY clothes were caked with filth and
mud, and my body ached all over. I
rose and painfully essayed the trail
again. When had limped some three
quarters of mile the forest ended all
at once and emerged into clearing.'
showing peasants cottage under the,
brow of hill. Here at least I could
obtain refreshment and perhaps clean
clothing. staggered toward it.
| Il was almost upon 1t when the door
opened and short man emerged with
basin of steaming bread and milk in
his hand. The czsr!
He saw me. He dropped the basin
and, unheeding the spilled breakfast,
discharged a stream of the most naut-
lcal English profanity that l have ever
heard.
They dumped me in big ditch two
miles away little before midnight,
and left me there" he concluded. TITS
a quarter before eleven. we're fifteen
miles from the capital, there's no con
veyance to be obtained within the roy
al domain, end the council meets at
noon. Adams, we've been pair of
babies in the hands of experts. They've
apparently confirmed my statement
known our plans all along from A to
lizard"
And Prince George, alias the czar,
again swore earnestly.
And that Is why Russia backed down
before the Austrians.

The CAUSE
OF STRIKE
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

London, March 15-An explanation
of the causes which led to the strike
In the British collieries, affecting
more than a million miners, was made
to the United Press here today by Ed
ward Black, organizer of the Mini.
mum Wage League In describing
conditions obtaining generally in the
collerles, Black said:
my knowledge of conditions in the
collieries is derived from personal in
vestigation, and am convinced that
the minimum wage is the only thing
that will mitigate the present causes
of unrest.
"The collieries pay on the tonnage
rate, based on the standard paid in
1877, with a percentage added accord
ing to scale controlled by subse-
quent agreements, and regulated by
the market price of coal On Febru-
airy 10, last, the selling price of coal
was 1870 per ton T. o. b., and the min
ers wages we're fixed on that basis,
Who gets the difference between the
$370 a ton and the $S.75 a ton which
London consumers have been paying.
The coal when brought to the surface
is passed over screens, and the collier
is paid only for the large. clean coal
remaining in the screens. The collier
has to keep his working place secure,
and any delay or shortage in the sup
ply Of timber means that for his own
safety he has to cease work. Should
there be a fall Of roof, he has to wait
until the fall is cleared.
"Some times the seams run thin, or
the coal becomes soft so that 1t is i'm
possible to get sufficient clean coal
to pay for his labor. Such places are
called abnormal The employers,
however, have successfully resisted
every attempt to include payment for
abnormal places in agreements, with
the result that the miner has no guar
antee of Justice
when the collier has cut his coal
II is removed by haulers, and a short
age of trans or laxity in organization
means that his working place is
choked up with coal, and he has to
remain idle until clearance is effect
ed. Some times a working place be-
comes abnormal four or five days be-
fore pay day. On pay day the collier
asks for consideration. He is informed
that an inspection will he made,
Later he is removed from the abnor-
NAL place, but no consideration is Civ
en- for lost time. Good places are Sc
cured by favoritism and bribes, and
very often workers are penalized for
their political or religious differences.
We can name hundreds Of cases,
where colliers who refused to pay
brlbes have been placed in abnormal
places, These illustrations could be
multiplied a hundrediold, but, think,
are sufficient to show that the miners
grievances are very real"
