who is no longer young, while they
are still young and strong.
The little woman took over the
mortgage, and she gave the third
chivalrous knight $25 payment on it.
Then she spent her remaining $25
stocking the store-and waited.
That is all she did-wait. The ham
and other meat she had bought spoil
ed. There was no business. The peo-
pie in the neighborhood regarded the
third knight as a gambler and would
not patronize a store that no one
made a success of.
But the little woman remembered
that the third knight had said he
would sell the place and get her one
more suited, if she couldn't make 1t a
success, so she sent for him.. e.
His representative called. 1--WE are
a rich concern, . he said, eve cannot
bother with little deals like this
Then the little woman said if they
wouldn't sell it so she could get back
say $50 anyway, she would have to
close it; she couldn't keep it open.
That aroused the ire of the chival-
rous knight No. 8. Close the store
when another months rent was due!
That would never do. He went out
in his automobile to demonstrate.
She must keep it and pay the rent
anyway.
Funny kind of chivalry, the way he
talked to her, but he left her without
doing anything, and after spending
two more days, hoping, praying and
crying, the little woman locked up the
store and came away.
The third chivalrous knight threat
ened many things. He was going to
placard the house, amongst others,
but finally he signed a document
kindly releasing her from paying the
balance of $275J on the mortgage in
consideration of the $25 she had al
ready paid, and he called it square.
Two days after that the same store

OPERATORS ALTER DECISION

OPERATORS ALTER DECISION
Big Rapids, Mich, Jan. 15.-A tele-
gram sent to Gov. Ferris by Allen F.
Rees of the legal staff of the Calu-
met & Hecla Mining Company at Cal
umet informed the governor that the
operators had altered their decision
not to treat with any members of the
Western Federation of Miners or
other union body in negotiations
looking toward a termination of the
strike
The operators, Rees stated, now
were willing to meet with their
former employees, regardless of their
union affiliations, but that they
would persist in the refusal to treat
with the Western Federation Of
Miners as an organization.
