WEsTERN FEDERATION LOCAL
 WANTS EIGHT HOUR LAW

The Nome local of the Western Federation of Miners has had drawn up bill for an eight hour day which will be recommended to the legisIa- ture for passage. This bill would make it n mlsdemeanor for any em- ployer. superintendent. etc.. to work man longer than eight hours in any kind of mine smelter. etc. The pen atty would be fine of not less than $250 nor more than $500 or by i'm prlsonment for not less than three months nor more than six months.
 The remarkable portion of the bill recommended is. however. where 1t provides that all mining work. even open cut work. be declared danger ous.
 The reason for asking that the leg islature declare the work to be dan gerous is not clear and inquiries from labor men and a union official failed to bring out the information that any legislature had previously declared such work to be dangerous.

 NEW YORK. Jan. sl.-The Ameri- can Peace League will entertain Pres ident Taft at dinner on Washington s anniversary. February P. and at that time will present him with a gold medal as token of appreciation of his work in behalf of universal peace.
 The choice of washington's birt!' day anniversary as the date is re- garded as peculiar considering the fact that Washington appealed to the sword and to nothing else in the ef- fort to free his country.
 This recalls to the minds of many the impossibility of subject countries gaining freedom if universal peace were established.
 The occasion will be made one of importance and will probably be the last of the public events in whi :h MT. Taft will take part before going out of oflice.

The Happy Man.

The happiest man in the world
is the common, everyday chap
who makes his own living, pays
his own bills and has the respect
of his nelghbors. He saves lit
tie money as he goes along, but
doesn't try to get corner on his
local output aud he is not slave
to ambition or society. He never
expects to wear out his trousers
in the senate and when he glides
out of bed in the morning he
never wastes any time to pick
out the right tint of socks, sus-
panders aud necktie that will
blend with the general effect.
He only wears high collar
when he feels like it, and when
his pet corn begins to jump, he
jerks out his knife and cuts a
four-inch cash in the side of his
shoe and nothing is said about it
in the local papers. He never
has to sit up at night to poultice
his conscience. He believes IN
the doctrine of live and let live.
When he encounters one of the
needy he doesn't SHUTTER with his
pocketbook. The plain plug OF
y man il happy because he is
satisfied and doesn't spend half
OF his time yearning for some
thing which his salary will not
permit. Give US more plain men
and the world will be better.

Face to Face With a Lion.

Few women can be so familiar
with the king of the wildress as
Mrs. Fred Maturin edith Cecil
Porch), whose Adventures Be-
You'd the Zambesi" contain many

a forest of impenetrable grass.
She was quite alone--her gun
bearer, Lang Wan, having disap-
peared-two miles from camp.
"Through the long, dry grass a
large male lion stood gazing at
mt. | stood as still as he. All
my blood appeared to rush to my
head. | could not have stirred
had | wished to. | stood still,
don't think | even breathed or
that my heart gave one faint
beat for some seconds. L must
stand quite, quite still and stare
back. 1t was perhaps my only
chance"
In all her terror she was con-
sclous of the animals great
beauty. She watched him draw
step or two back. IL thought
he was about to spring, but |
took care not to move, mastering
my terrible but fatal instinct to
turn and run. Then he dropped
his head and with obvious fear
skunk quickly away" That was
at Dam River.
