His Little Brother

I had q little brother when
IWuz Christmas just q year ago.
And he was nearly seven then,
This year he won't be with us, though:
He got little drum to pound,
had little fife played,
And we had cars that went around
Upon q little track we laid.
I wish at had never tried
To take away the things he had.
Or ever plagued him till he cried,
Or done thing to make him sad:
I've put away the little track
He helped me lay upon the floor:
u santa Clause would bring him back
I'd never tease him any more.
He's up in heaven now, you know.
And he sees everything do,
Because my mother told me So
And when I'm sad he knows It. tho.

An Object Lesson.

Paris, March 11.--Members of the
coal miners union voted to strike to-
day. Sixty per cent of the coun-
try's underground workers are ex-
pected to quit work within "a hours.
The strike was planned as an OBJ
ject lesson. The union leaders want
ed, TO demonstrate to the public. the
employers, and the government Of
dcials, that the demands they recent
ly presented are just They also want
. ed to show that they were a unit
in supporting them.
These demands include the eight
hour work day. an old age pension OF
two farncs daily to begin for the
workers at so. and a minimum wage
scale modelled after the demands of
the British miners
II was deemed advisable to make
the demonstration today because It
was felt 1t would 1be more effective
with the English and German strike
In progress. lf bosses DO not grant
the demands, N general strilre OF

sweatshop workers are paid for their
manufacture and how much profit
the manufacturers make. Pictures
emphasized the poor conditions In
tenements. The Consumers league
hopes to aid the workers by market

pie, and to guarantee that the work
men are given comfortable anil sani-
tary working quarters.

arraigned as a poisoner, a female
monster, whose happiness lay in par
ticipating In death scenes, the vic-

This arraignment was delivered by

conductor, administering arsenic in
his food Smith was boarder at the

was dismissed on application of the
state last week and the Smith
charge substituted.
Burnham declared he would show
that the woman kept a pepper box
in her pantry which was filled with
mixture of pepper and arsenic.
He said the proof would show that
Smith died of arsenical poison, that
he was taken Ill in her home, and
that the other guests besides Bisso-
nette in the Vermllya boarding house
suffered similar symptoms. Burn
ham also charged that the woman
when she found herself confronted
with the murder charge. took poison
and that this resulted in her present
