a conference between W. II. Langshaw,
president OF the Dartmouth mill, and a
committee of his ixers. the fxers' strike
against that mill is to be declared of.
Formal action by the union has not
been taken, but assurances that the I'M
ion will call the strike off are given.
The ending OF the Dartmouth loom
ixers' strike simpliies the strike situa-
ton in this city, eliminating, as it does,
one of the causes of difference which
caused the closing Of the Dartmouth mill.
The general weavers strike still contin
ues, however, and accordingly the mill
will not be opened Immediately. Mr..
Langshaw has acceded to his fxers on
most of their complaints.

by THE WAY
BY HARVEY o

People, as well as young dogs
says Hondo Murphy. are inclined to
follow the largest noise. And, if the
largest noise lead to the wrong tree,
it is we'll to dispose of the noise.
when I was a kid 1 knew a back
Woodsman who had two old trail
mounds and seven young dogs. In
that country, where 'varmintS' were
rather than a luxury. In hunting, he
began to leave the training of the
young dogs to the old ones. 1t
SO happened that the reliable dog of
n pair had a poor voice. The other
dog was inclined to make wild guesses,
and was unreliable to an extreme.
Finally the hunter observed that the
young dogs would follow the big noise,
which led invariably, to the wrong
tree, and he said to himself: This will
be the ~ruination of them pups And
with that idea in his head he very
thoughtfully canned the old four
flusher, and the pups, taking their
u from the reliable old-timer, grew
up to be respectable Inc reliable dogs.
People are like pups-they follow a
big noise, and wind up by barking UP
the wrong tree. The only cure is to
put the big noise On the retired list,
which is easier than killing off the
unframed followers"

The man whom favoritism lifts above
the level of his talents is due for a
fall. AS a forerunner of smashups,
pride has nothing on pull. The favor
of those in power may bring place, but
it never brings influence. Money may
foster adulation and s~ycophany, but II
never breeds power. You can't send
an electric current along a ~ncond
tor; you can make a n~OnconductinE
piece of humanity a live wire, no mat
ter how muh money or favor you give
him.
Don't deceive yourself; sooner or
later society knows, and o know
how much you are worth, n you

delude yourself if you imagine. that

ence between that rich mans son
whose name was an offense to the ears
of the nation and that other rich mans
son who stepped into the control OF
a giant spider web of railways.
The ditch digger who rose to a
peerage in England left no word upor
any page of history. He merely had
money and lands. He was despised
even by those to whose ranks he won

The m~illionaire's son who went tc

NV Tady'S FurS,

The requirements of fashion were the

fur trade in that country to

No, I a am not going to tell you anything

How few people ever willingly do much

When you don't know what to say, don't

Then you will get the reputation of be-

When YOU are made a party to a quar-

These are a few of the occasions when

a few. To enumerate them all would
take quite too long. But If you will
