 LABOR TROUBLE IS FEARED IN ENGLAND

London, January 13.-(Special) Al though there is no immediate danger of a railway strike, there is a nervous feeling in the trade that trouble must come very shortly from the coal miners in the north, many of whom refuse de- fantIy to be led" by their leaders. The unrest in all departments of life breaks out in the most unexpected places.
 only a few days ago there was ser ious danger of London's firemen coming out on strike, but his affair was hushed up by the authorities. The fremen complain bitterly of their pay and the shortness of their leave. Matters as sumed such a threatening aspect that the authorities decided to intimate of ficially to all the men that they would place all grievances before the Firo Brigade committee of the London town council early in the New Year. The firemen have always been well treated by this particular body and they are therefore appeased for the moment.
 The increase in the wages and the vacations of the Metropolitan police have modified that body, but the men of the city force. which is entirely dis tinct from the West End force, are now that they have not receiv- ed equal advantage. For the moment the chief danger lies ip Scotland the north of England, where the Trade Union officials seem to have lost all control over railway men, coal mners, carters and dock laborers.

GERMAN PRINCE IN
 BAD HEALTH

Berlin. January 13.-(Special )-Accord- ing to rumor, when the German crown prince returns to Berlin from Danzig he will not take up military duties in a prov incial garrison town again, at least until the winter is over.
 The crown princes health, in fact, is causing some apprehension. and it is doubtful whether he is able to stand the rigorous climate of the remote provincial town to which his imperial father sent him. No suggestion is made that the princes present condition creates any oualms. but considerable comment has beer caused by the fact that, despite the birth of his youngest son. whom the prince has not yet seen, and despite the Christmas festivities of the imperial fam ilv in Berlin, the princess medical advisers did not deem it advisable that his im- peria1 highness should undertake the jour ney to the capital.
 It is believed that the crown prince has inherited weakness of the throat. from which his father suffers, and every pre- caution is taken 10 guard his health, es- pecially in view of the hereditary tenden- cy to throat trouble in the Hohenzollern familys

GERMAN MANEUVERS
 HAVE END IN COURTS

Berlin, January (Special)--A pecu- liar and somewhat humorous incident of the recent German army maneuvers has just been brought to light in case which was heard before the higher military court at Breslau. The prosecution brought an action against Lieutenant von Ieyde- brec1 of the Oes Rifle regiment, accusing him with misuse of authority and of caus- ing grievous bodily injury and material damage.
 Lieutenant von Heydebrecks regiment co-operated in the maneuvers with the Bernstadt regiment of dragons. One night the lieutenant was instructed by his su- perior officers to take company of men and attempt a surprise attack upon party of dragons who were bivouacked several miles away The lieutenant car rled out his orders with startling success. Unchallenged by sentry or outpost, hih company approached the sleeping camp of dragoons and opened fire with blank car tridges at close quarters. The effect was wild stampede. Horses broke loose from their tethering posts and dashed madly through the darkness. falling over tent ropes and breaking the poles, by which several men were injured.
 The dragoons themselves, aWakehed from sleep by the rattle of rifle fire to find their canvas falling about them, and with their heads full of the sensational war rumors current at the time, were imme- diately convinced that the enemy was upon them in force They lost their nerve utterly, and for a considerable time the widest confusion prevailed, in which more men and animals were injured.
 The lieutenant in his own defense, de- elared, of course, that he had merely car ried out his orders, and the court adopt- ing his view of the matter, gave judg- ment of acquittal.

 After a long argument the court decided that the will was valid on the ground that the typewriter is as much an instrument of writing as the pen, though more eom- plicated, and pointed out that 1t could not be expected that the Austrian civil code should expressly mention typewrit CTS, as it was promulgated just century before these machines were invented.

FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH
PlMPLES AND BlACKHEADS

Atchison, Kan.-"For a number OF
years I suffered very greatly from skin
eruption. My face was very red and
irritated, being almost covered with
pimples and blackheads. The pimples
were scattered over my face. They
were fine rash with the exception OF
q few large pimples on my forehead
and chin. My face burned and looked
red as IL exposed to either heat or
cold. It was not only unsightly but
very uncomfortable. I tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief.
I was recommended to use Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
II applied tho Cuticura Ointment in
the evening, leaving it for about five
minutes, then washing 1t off with
Cuticura Soap and hot water. I wash

After about four months of this appli-

BRUINS SAD MISTAKE
In an Effort to Drain Bucket Of Warm
MIX Animal Gets Vessel Fast on Its
Head--Escapes Farmers Bullets and
Gets Out Of His Yard.

Bangor, Me.-Somewhere in the
wilds of northern Maine there is cruis-
ing a big bear, for whose arrest Pete
Tarrio of Shin Pond is willing to pay
a suitable reward. Pete charges this
bear with assault and battery, distur-
bance OF the peace and larceny, and
he Is willing to go to almost any ex-
pense and trouble TO get him. The
bear can be identified easily. He is
wearing over his head one of Tarrio's
best ten-quart tin milking pals with
five bullet holes in it, and on that &C
count staggers about like a drunken
man.
1t was sunset at Shin Pond, which
peaceful locality is few miles north
OF Patten, and Mrs. Pete Tarrio, who
is fat and fifty, was sitting on stool
Just outside the barn milking their
best COW. Pete was just inside the
barn door milking another cow. Sud
denly Mrs. Pete was startled by loud
wool" "woof" behind her.
AT first she merely smiled and kept
on milking, for she knew that her hus-
band was a great joker and thought
that he was trying to have some fun
with her. But when she got a cuff
across the back that knocked her
sprawling. she knew that it was no
joke, that Pete wouldn't treat her that
way, and when she saw the COW gallop
wildly off down the lane, she knew that
some one or something had declared
war.
Scrambling to her feet as quickly as
her two hundred pounds weight would
allow, Mrs. Pete was astonished TO see
a 400-pound bear with his nose stuck
into the pail of warm milk She yelled
to her husband who came out, took
one look, and raced &c the house tor
his rifle.
While Pete was gone the bear Tapped
up most of the milk, and then, in an
effort to get what was In the bottom of
the pail, he lifted his head to allow
the milk to run down. his throat That
was bad move to the bear, for the in
slant he tilted the pail the pail fell
down over his reck and caught in the
thick fur. He paused in a puzzled
way, then began to run around in cir
cles, occasionally butting into some
thing, which had the effect OF forcing
the pail more firmly down over his
shoulders.
Pete appeared with his rife and took
a shot at the blindfolded bear, the
bullet making a nice round hole in the
tin pail but not disturbing the animal
