$50 Boys Dismissed as Result-Time
Machine Blamed for the
Trouble.

London.-"Strike at the Bank OF
England; Picketing the Old Lady OF
Threadneedle Street." and similar
headlines in the evening papers gave
the city mild sensation.
One hundred and fifty boys from
the printing department Of the bank
were dismissed in the morning and
many of them spent several hours In
marching round and round the great
square building somewhat disconso-
lately. with dinner baskets or parcels
under their arms.
The cause of the trouble, the boys
alleged, was the unsatisfactory work
ing of a new time checking machine
installed recently to register the in
comings and outgoings of the boys.
1T takes such a long time,' said
one boy, "to take our checks out
when we go to dinner and put them
in on returning that good part OF
the time is wasted. Three boys had
some of their pay stopped for being
late. That was not fair, so we struck
and asked for more time for dinner,
and they dismissed us all with part
of our wages. We get from U.s. I'd.
($180) to las. Cd. week"
All the Bank of England notes are
printed in Threadneedle street, as
well as Indian notes, postal orders
and old age pension orders. The boys
were very much impressed with their
Importance as creators of the nations
wealth.
"The machines cannot run without
u.s." said one of the money-makers,
'and the bank has been losing about
$4,000 minute since we came out,
and they stopped printing notes. They
have been trying to get some more
bows but thew haven't got anY vet"

CHANGING THE CATS FUR

A remarkable Transformation of q
cats fur by temperature has been re-
ported. A black cat was. accidentally
shut in the refrigerating chamber Of a
mail steamer in Sydney harbor, Au-
stralia, and was not discovered until
about so days. later, when the ship
was off Alden. The cat was scarcely
recognizable. the fur having become
long and thick, changing to white on
the back. Brought out in the intense
heat Of the Red sea, the heavy white
coat rapidly fell out and the normal
coat was restored.

Kelly Shot by a Woman

Last Saturday D. w. Kelly had
a close and thrilling experience on
the Kline homestead north Of
Plentywood. 1t appears that kel-
ly had a bill of sale to the shack
occupied by A. E. Kline and wife,
and that he proceeded to move it
while the husband was away. 1t
IS claimed that Mrs. Kline came
out with a gun and fred three shots
in Kelly's direction, one bullet in
flicting a wound on the side Of the
head. The other side of the story
seems to be that the three shots
were fired simply as scare and
that the wound was made by a
neck yoke in the hands Of the wo-
man. A few hours later Mrs.
Kline was arrested and brought to
town, but was released Tuesday
by Justice Bolster as no warrant
had been issued for her.-Plenty-
