POVERTY.

Poverty is dishonorable not in it,
self, but when it is a proof of laziness,
ness; whereas in a person that is tenn
perate, Industrious, just and valiant,
and who uses all his virtues for the
public good, it shows great and
lofty mind. For he has no time for
great matters who concerns himself
with petty ones; nor can he relieve
many needs of others, who himself
has many needs Of his own.-Plutarch

500 MINERS HAVE
DESERTED The PITS
Hard and Soft Coal Mines Are
Closed Down.
General Feeling Is That the "Suspen-
sion" Will Be Short-LiVed and
That the Men Will Re-
turn to the Mines.

1t is estimated that half a million
coal miners quit work in the anthra-
cite fields of Pennsylvania and in the
central competitive field" of the BIZ
luminous portion of the industry.
In Illionis 10000 bituminous miners
in 25O mines are idle.
Officially the movement is a ''sus-
pension of work and whether it is to
develop into a widespread strike de-
ponds upon the outcome of the voting
in the union ranks and of conferences
between the men and employees with
in the next ten days.
Anthracite miners are more appre-
hensive than the bituminous miners
as to the ultimate outcome. No def
mite agreement for the hard coal men
is in sight, whereas the bituminOus
conference at Cleveland adjourned af-
ter the mems representatives had
abandoned practically all their de-
mands except for increased pay. On
terms considerably.
The union men are taking a refer
endum ballot as to whether the modi-
fed terms for a new wage agreement
are to be accepted and there is a gen
eral feeling that the result of the bal
lot will be return to work
The outcome of the voting in the
central competitive field"-compris-
ing Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
IllinOis-Will influence new wage
scales in other sections of the country
where the present agreements do not
expire until May l or later.
Southern and southwestern mines
and those in the Rocky mountain
states will be affected. West Virginia
and Kentucky bituminOus fields will
not be greatly affected. NOnunion la
Dor predOminates in these mines.
Approximately 100000 men are di-
rectly affected and some 100000 more,
scattered throughout the coal districts
of the country, are watching the prog
ress Of the suspension" 1t probably
will be at least thirty days before all
mines will have resumed, if the refer
endum votes and conferences result
favOrably The last ten days of the
thirty may present a problem as to
fuel supply to industries of all char
acter.
John Mitchell in an interview at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, said:
Il am very glad to see by the news
papers that the operators have agreed
to another conference with the mine
operators committee in Philadelphia
On April 10. This makes a chance Of
reaching an amicable agreement re-
garding the mine workers demands.
'The soft coal operators and the
mine workers have reached an agree
ment. 1t came at the eleventh hour
and it indicates that a discussion of
the issues of both sides of a contro-
versy and calm judicial judgment of
a situation is likely to lead to a peace
able settlement at this time and I do
not care to say anything regarding the
mine workers demands, but I repeat
that the outlook for a peaceable set
Element is hopeful from my general
observations in the anthracite fields,
and l believe both sides will get to-
gether in the next ten days and patch
up their difficulties and there will be
no strike"

Proof of Elephants saqacity.

Elephants are always quoted as be-
ing the most sagacious of animals.
A story comes from Bombay India,
of one who saved the life of an artil-
leryman recently. The man was
seated on the tumbril of one of the
guns, and fell off almost under the
hind wheel. The elephant was just
behind the gun and saw the danger
the man was in. He lifted the wheel
with his trunk, and kept it held up
until the carriage had passed quite
clear of the man. The act was wit
messed by an officer of the artillery.

To Preserve Old Photographs.

One way to preserve old photo
graphs is as follows: Put the. photo
graphs into clean, hot water; very
soon the pictures loosen and may be
easily removed from the cards. When
dry, either trim down, to economic
space, or carefully cut away the back
ground entirely. Mount them in a
scrap book or book made especially
for kodak pictures. You will then
have a book with which you can
spend many happy moments looking
over familiar scenes and faces.-Na-

The remarkable success of these tai
ented physicians in the treatment of
chronic diseases has aroused much en-
thusiasm in the Northwest.
This is said to be and no doubt is
true, one of the most able specialist
organizations of it's kind in this section
of the country, and must be success
full one from the many good results
they are getting.
The United Doctors, licensed by the
state of Wisconsin for the treatment of
deformities and nervous and chronic
diseases of men, women and children,
offer to all who call on them, consulta-
ton, examination and advise free.
It is especially requested that mar
ried ladies come with their husbands
and minors with their parents.
The name, UNITED DOCTORS, is
what it implies, union of specialists
twelve in number, that have gotten to-
gether for the treatment of chronic
and nervous diseases. Not to be I'M
derstood that they treat all diseases
that the human body is heir to. They
mean to be very careful in selecting
and taking cases as they want good
results, which means good returns in
the way of their patients recommend
ing them to others.
They estimate that over eighty per
cent of the patients now coming to
them, come from recommendations of
those they have treated.
They do not treat any acute dis
eases whatever, their time and atten-
ton being devoted to such diseases as
follows:
Diseases of the stomach, intestines,
liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart, spleen,
kidneys or bladder, rheumatism, sciat-
lea, diabetes, bed-wetting, leg ulcers,
weak lungs and those afflicted with
long-standing, deep-seated, chronic dis
eases, that have baffied the skill of the
family physicians, should not fail to
call.
According to their system no more
operations for appendicitis, gall stones,
tumors, or goiter. They were among
the first in America to earn the name
of the "Bloodless Surgeons, by doing
away with knife, with blood and with
all pain in the successful treatment of
these diseases.
