In my Judgment in using the militia
as scab herders, strike breakers and
black-leg protectors. *s
A certain living mummy who never
did days work in his life, and don't
know anything about what it is to earn
a dollar by honest labor, once said a
scab was a hero. Well, General Abbey
under Governor Ferris, is trying to
make a hero of that kind out of the
militia Of the state of Michigan. They
have shot people in the back, brow
beaten men and boys, insulted women
and girls, and, after filling up on beer
and whisky sent them by the mine
owners, staggered up and down the
streets with their big guns and sabers,
a disgrace to the rottenest government
on earth, let alone ours; a standing
menace to peace and decency. The
imported Waddell- -Mahon killers
have murdered two men in cold blood,
the most coWardly and wantonly brutal
and utterly unwarranted butchery I
ever had any knowledge of. They ser
iously wounded two others, powder
burned the face of a baby, and shot
bullet through it's clothes, while it
was being held in the arms of it's ter
stricken mother, while three other
knees. These people were in their own
home, engaged in taking their even
ing meal, when the outrages were
committed. Hundreds of others have
been insulted and beaten up by these
gutter ruffians and the militia has al
ways been on the scene to encourage

WORK OF CYCLONE
Acts as Matchmaker and Reu-
mites Lovers After Many
Years of misunderstanding.
BY JOHN ALWAYNE.

"Why don't you an the Widow Will
son git hitched?" his cronies would
ask of William Yoakum at the village
store And Yoakum, with sudden
flash of anger in his blue eyes, would
answer:
Il don't go courtin' no women. When
they want me let 'em send for me-"
All of which would duly find Its
way to the Widow Wilson's ears
through the wives of the various audi
tors of Yoakum's ultimatum.
Nevertheless it did seem strange
that two old friends should live in
chilly isolation upon neighboring
ranches. True the ranches were quar-
ter sections, and at least half mile
lay between the two houses. But they
were the nearest neighbors of one an
other, and they had known each other
since childhood Yoakum was man
of fifty, and the widow might have
been forty-ive-though she did not
look anywhere near it.
There were few residents of the lit
tie Kansas settlement who remem-
bered the time when it had been a
frontier outpost. But everybody knew
that old man Farley and old man
Yoakum had migrated together and
fought Indians together. The children
had grown up together and everybody
had expected them to get married.
Then Wilson had come along and
snatched Adeline Farley out of Yoak-
ums hand-almost literally, for the
bans had been announced when the
startling news came from Kansas City
that the pair were man and wife. Old
Farley forgave his daughter and took
her home when Wilson deserted his
young bride; but Yoakum never got
over it. He went to California and
was not heard of for five and twenty
years. Then he drifted back to take
up land in the town of his birth. to
find all his old friends scattered or
dead, and Adeline Wilson, a widow,
farming her fathers land.
Yoakum had never married Cos
sips averred that he and the widow
would soon come together, even

HE CARRIED, AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very "sot"
In her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
so emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out OF
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as a flash she answered her
questioner, "He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is
Softie'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
it proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of it's refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf~
feline that it contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than In Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism of
Coca Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say "But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee, it all depends ON
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and if it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever it is--this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
Of course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to-
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all. it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair Let us be fair.-Adv.

though bitter enmity seemed to
rage between them. But Yoakum was
proud as we'll as shy. Thus, when he
was twitted, he returned the answer
given above.
Il should think, Adeline, that COM
psratively young woman like you
would think of marrying again. her
friends would say, thinking of her
neighbor.
IF it's Will Yoakum you're think
ing Of" Mrs. Wilson answered, you're
all dead wrong. When a man wants
to come counting me, let him come
and ask me. I don't go out of the
way to invite any man into my home"
"IIl never@enter her home until she
asks me-" was Yoakum's answer, and
the two stood pat. Inwardly both re-
GREETED the position they had taken.
Each had secret romantic remem-
brances of that period when they
were sweethearts, but the Widows
will was as indexible as his.
They were mot enemies; when they
met they would bow and sometimes
speak, but their spoken words acted
as barrier between Them Thus
matters ran along for a year after
Yoaklms return.
March came, snowy and clustering
The winds were incessant. Yoakum
was Harvesting his horse for the first

lent blow or the back of the head. He
turned to defend himself, but every
thing swan before his eyes, and, with
the sense OF being carried away on a
swift river, he lapsed into uncon-
seriousness. ..
He opened his eyes ages later, as
1t seemed, and the first thing they lit
upon was the Widow Wilson,.
He was lying in bed in a darkened
room, and she sat by his side. Her
eyes were red from c1:ing. Yoakum
endeavored to sit up.
"Hush!" she said, gently pressing
him backward. You have been very
i'll. You must lie still"
The widow, in his house! Yoakum
had often pictured the possibility of
such an occurrence, but now, to his
surprise, his sensation was one of
shame. He looked at her as we'll as
he could in the obscurity of the room.
Except that she was more matronly
and that threads of gray showed at
her temples, she might have been the
same Adeline Farley, and he might
have parted from her a few minutes
before
"Adeline," he said timidly, st all
seems like a dream to me-"
Adeline was silent, but he could see
that she, too, was moved.
1T seems as though we hadn't been

Most Powerful SearchIiqht.

The new electric searchlight pro-
jectors made by the Allgemeine estab-
lishment of Berlin are among the most
powerful yet to be produced, and their
candlepower, which is too high for
measurement, can only be reckoned in
hundreds of millions. What striking
one is the new method of regulating
the arc. The large carbons are now
moved back and forth by small cleo
trio motors and suitable gears, current
being applied to the motors by a set
of relays which work according to the
current taken by the arc, thus secur-
ing an automatic adjustment of the
arc length in the best way. The base
of the protector contains other mo-
tors for all the searchlight movements
and a distant lever control is so de-
signed that turning the lever in all
directions makes the protector also
follow these same directions for point
ing the beam. These searchlights will
carry several miles and still give light
enough to read by.
