A FUNNY PROPOSITION

Man ZONES into this world witE-
out his consent and leaves it
against his will During his stay
on earth his time is spent in one
continuous round of Gsntraries and
misunderstanding by the balance
of the specie In his infancy he is
angel; in his boyhood he is d devil:
in his manhood he is everything
from a lizard up: in his duties he
is a fool; if he raises a family ne
is ii chump; if he raises n small
check he is a thief and the law
raises the devil with him; if he is
a Door man he is Il poor Manager
and has no sense; If he Is rich he is
dishonest, but considered smart.
If he is in politics he is a CRATER:
if he is not ia politics you cant
place him and ne is an undesirable
citizen; il he goes 10 church he is
a hypocrite; if he stays away from
church he is a sinner and damned:
il he donates to a foreign mission
he does il for show: if he doesn't.
he is stingy and a tightwad.
When he first comes into the world
everyone wants to kiss him: before
he goes out they all want to kick
him. If he dies young there was a
great future before him: if he
lives to a ripe old age he is simply
in the way and living to save fun
eral expenses. This life is q funny
road but we all like to travel i
just the same, says the Railway
Conductor.

STRIKE IS OFF is DECISION

The 6rst work Of the NewlandI
meditation law has been most sat
isfactcry. The commission recently
appointed to investigate and con
sider the threatened strike be
tween the S p Rail road employed
and the road, has resulted in a com.
plete compromise and all strike
talk is off.
The main principle for which the
employees conten1ed is conceded
by the company. The men pre-.
tested against q segregation of the
steam line systems from the cleo
trio lines extensively established
in San Francisco Bav cities and
elsewhere. Under the terms of
the agreement the segregation plan
will be abandoned.
Ii was complained of by the
train men who were supported by
the engineers, that men who earned
p~referment through long service
in the steam train service were
placed below those younger in the
service when tranferred to the
electric lines.
Other minor questions in dispute
were adjusted satisfactorily.
