ADDED TO THE GOOD TIME
Bear Story, Though Short, Was a
Thing of Consequence to Those
Silent Mountaineers.

There were six stalwart pioneers
who settled in Upshur county. West
Virginia, long before the war. when
there wasn't "a stick amiss" and
hunting was good. They were brothers
and their name was Phillips.
Each fall after hog.killing time
they held a family reunion. at which
q feast fit for the gods was partaken
of In silence, except for the blessing,
which was always asked by the cid.
est brother. They did not believe In
much talk or levty. When they spoke
1t was usually in monosyllabes. After
dinner they would sit around the big
log fireplace, tilted back In split bot.
tom chairs. and smoke their corncob
pipes in silence until it was time to-
20 home and do the chores.
At one of the reunions something
of unusual interest cccurred-one OF
the boys told bear story. While
sitting around the fire smoking one
of the brothers pushed up his sleeve,
exposing a badly lacevated arm. The
five gazed at it in respectful silence
for a few moments. Their experience
In the mountains told them that their
brother had hand to hand fight
with bear. One OF them opened the
ensuing dialogue with:
"Um-mph-bar?"
"Yeaah."
Wharf"
"Over thar" Jerking his thumb
back over his shoulder In the direc.
ton of Beech mountain.
After this bear story of five words
they smoked in silence until 1t was
time to 60 home. For months after
that reunion they would remark to
visiting neighbors that they had "a
powerful fine time at Eben's re.
union"
1t was remarkable. because they
had had bear story In addition to
the blessing. which was powerful
lot OF talk for these silent men.

The two friends had been dining on
dicers and sundry strange dishes at
the "Cedars of Lebanon cafe, in the
Syrian quarter of New York. They
we're drinking their coffee. thick with
coal-black grounds. and wondering
whether they really enjoyed it, when
Smithers suddenly cried out:
"Pataug! Pataug!"
The waiter hurried away, and came
back presently bringing an ordinary
corkscrew.
Il was just testing" said Smithers
to his companion, the truth of the
story that the first corkscrew seen in
Beirut was taken there by a Yankee.
1t was a patented American contrap-
ton, and the Syrians were amazed at
It's convenience. They spelled out on
1t the mystic words, Pat. Aug 16.

the implement. Now | believe the
story that 'pataug' is its name all over

RULES FOR BETTER BREEDING
Modern Improvement Of Draft Horse
Brought About by Observance
Of Principles Given.

Considering what has been said we
may next set down some simple
rules for the conduct of our breeding
operations upon sensible, scientific
and successful lines. 1t may be said,
too, that the modern improvement
of draft horses Is being brought about
by the following Of these rules, and
their observance has led to the sue
cess achieved in foreign countries.
The mares chosen for draft-horse
breeding should be draft mares in

charitable persons. In Paris. by pre-
tending to commit suicide. has fallen
a victim to his ingenuity. He used to
fasten a rope. attached to the ceiling.

moose. Then, having knocked over
the furniture, he would overturn the
chair on which he was standing and
remain hanging by the rope. Alarm

Of distress In such moving language
that money would be forthcoming for
his relief Later he would repeat the
trick in another house, invariably
with success. But a few days ago,
when he was carrying out the trick,
there was hitch No one went to
his help and he remained hanging,
being eventually cut down dead.

IT'S A GENERAL WAR

IT'S A GENERAL WAR
Only one thing can defeat any
just strike by workingmen-and
that is division in the ranks of the
workers themselves.
There are only a mere handful
of men in the Chicago Publishers
Association, but they stand to-
gether as one man.
If the workers unions were
united in one big union, and all
stood together, there would be no
possibility of the publishers
u n ion destroying unionism
among the employees.
But the workers are not really
organized. The printers and mail
ers, by sticking with the publish
ers, are helping to destroy union
ism.
In the end, if the publishers de-
feat the pressmen, stereotypers,
drivers, c1rculatorS and ,neWSDoys,
then the printers and mailers will
be reduced to slavery, too.
And after that the publishers
will be free, and will have the
power to destroy every union in
Chicago.
The Chicago Federation of La
Dor ought to see to this. If it lets
the publishers lick the pressmen,
stereotypers, drivers, carriers and
newsboys, then the c. F. of L. is
not in position to kick if the news
paper trust turns around and en-
tirely destroys unionism in Chi
cago.
