When you are riding in a crowded

with one hand always remember to
keep your other hand on your watch

Striking Miners
Fire on Train

LEXINGTON. KY, Sept 26.-One
hundred striking miners, armed with
magazine rifles. held up and attacked
a log train at the Rose Run iron
mines, in Bath county, late yesterday,
according 10 advices received here to-
day. The strikers lined up on both
sides of the track and challenged the
guards on the train. ten in number,
to a battle.
The engineer was ordered to run
the train through the lines of armed
men. As he did so the strikers fired
on the car, but. as II was protected
by iron plates. no one was wounded.
The guards returned the fire.
As a result of this hold-up il Is
likely that troops will be requested
by the mine-owners. A recent re.
quest was refused by Governor Nc
Creary.

A Moroccan Solomon.

Mulai Hafid's grandfather, we learn
from a Paris contemporary, left this
world with the renown of a just man.
His legal enactments are still remem.
bered. for he had a way of impressing
upon his subjects the distinction of
"meum" and ''tuum." One law dating
from 1870 was to the effect that any
one who should touch the goods of an
other should be beheaded. One Of his
subjects presented himself before the
sultan, saying: Your majesty is al
ways obeyed. A traveller at my inn de-
parted leaving behind him sack OF
nuts. and no one has dared to approach
them" How do you know" demand
ed Mohammed, that the sack contain.

subject, IT just touched the sack with

A You Please.

In the ancient times there lived a
wonderfully wise man, of whom it was
said that he could answer correctly
any question put to him. There was
one. however, who thought himself
clever enough to outwit the sage. This
man took poor, captive bird and
clasped it SO closely in his hand that
only the head and tail were visible.
Tell me-" said he to the renowned
guesser Of riddles. lis the bird which
hold in my hand alive or dead?"
If the answer were Dead" thought
this artful plotter, he would just open
his hand and let the bird fly. II the
answer were "Alive" he would with
one little squeeze crush the poor bird
to death.
But the wise man proved himself
equal to the occasion and replied, 1T
is as you please"
Each one holds within his or her
grasp the fair bird Of life Which is it
to be-a blessing or bane? 1t is las
