 Establishes Camp
 General Chase has established d camp at Williamsburg. in Fremont county near Florence under Instructions to take no action except in case of actual at tack.
 Meanwhile all interest centers on fed eral action on the request of state, union a.fd mine officials that United States troops be sent to control the situation "Frightnlly critical" was the manner in which Horace N. Hawkins, chief coun. sel for the mine workers, summarized the situation tonight ''rhe situation has resolved into one of securing federal troops" he said This offers the only complete solution. The miners will never submit to the Colorado national guard. recruited as it Is, in part at least. from the ranks of the mine guards. There is no possibility of securing enough militlamen to settle it." No reports of serious outbreaks had been verified, said MT. Hawkins.

THE RAZORBACK HOG.
Here's His Portrait, and II Doesn't
FIatter Him . Bit. eau

In physique and mentality the razor
back differs even more from1a domes-
tic hog than wild goose does from a
tame one. Shaped in front like thin
wedge. he can go through laurel thick
cts like bear. Armored with tough
hide. cushioned by bristles. he despises
thorns. brambles and rattlesnakes alike.
His extravagantly long snout can scent
like cats and yet burrow. uproot.
overturn. as II made Of metal.
The long legs, thin fanks. plant
hoofs. fit him to run like deer and
climb like a goat. In courage and sa-
gacity he outranks all other beasts
warrior born. he is also q strategist
OF the first order Like man. he lives
n communal life and unites with others
Of his kind for purposes Of defense.
The pig is the only large mammal |
know Of. besides man. whose eyes will
not shine by reflected light-they are
too bold and crafty. wit. The razor
back has mind Of his own-not in
stinct. but whatever psycholo-
gists may say. He thinks. Anybody
can see that when he Is not roofing or
sleeping he Is studying devilment
He shows remarkable understanding
Of human speech. especially profane
speech. and even an uncanny gift Of
reading mems thoughts whenever those
thoughts are directed against the
peace and dignity Of plgship. He bears
grudges. broods over indignities and
plans redresses for the morrow or the
week after. IL he cannot get even with
you he will lay for your unsuspecting
friend. And at last. when arrested in
his crime and lodged In the pen. he Is
liable to attacks of mania from sheer
helpless rage.-From Horace Kephart's
"Our Southern Highlanders."

BUSS0RAH A FILTHY TOWN.
A Visit to the ApocryphaI Home Of
Sindbad the Sailor.

We were on our way to Bussorah,
famous as the apocryphal home of
S!ndbad the Sailor. Bussorah Is the
seaport - Ragdad. from which 1t Is
distant aDou. 80 ..f,ir. by river.
BussOrah In the summer Is nothing
less than fiery furnace, for the Their
mOmeter registers more than 100 de-
secutive days. and the mean tempera-
ture. night and day. for upwards Of
four months Is about 05 degrees.
Malarial fevers. dysentery and ague
are prevalent. and the town Is fire.
quently visited by plague and cholera.
and yet, thanks to the cool winter and
prevailing north winds. the place is
not essentially unhealthy for those
who are acclimatized.
The habits and wants of the popu-
lation are simple and are likely to re-
main so for some time to come, but
the sanitary state Of the town Is de-
plorable. The creeks, which are tidal.
supply 1t with drinking water. but are
used indiscriminately for all house
hold purposes, and the stencil arising
from them at low water is overpow-
ering.
The governor general Of the province
of Bussorah had his private residence
In the upper story of fimsy lath and
plaster edifice overlooking the main
road. The walls of his house could not
ha ha ci
and 1t was full of windows. The
ground floor seemed to be a stable and
was occupied by goats.
AS our carriage approached, churn-
ing up the mud which lay ankle deep
and humping over the bollows and OBJ
structions which had so far escaped
the attention Of a not too observant
municipality, we saw the governors
head appear at an upper window and
that Of she goat at lower one
simultaneously.
The governor, a middle aged man of
dignited bearing. greeted us gravely
and kindly. From his conversation he
appeared to be somewhat Of a pedant.
imbued with the chauvinistic tenden-
cies Of the young Turk, and harden
ed bureaucrat.
His excellency's salutations as he
bade us farewell were expressed with
becoming gravity: 1--WE trust that God
may be pleased to preserve your ex
cellency's health. Our town Is yours,
as well as our house. May we order
our soldiers to accompany you on your
ride to Zobeir3 Your person is more
precious to us than our eyes, and there
are evil men. enemies Of our lord the
sultan, abroad In the desert."-Cham-

Tho Spy In the READING Room.

An interesting story reaches me,
says a London correspondent. Of an
agent of the Russian imperial police
having been stationed In the reading
room of the British museum for the
purpose of noting the arrival of revo-
lutionaries In England. The type Of
man who Is driven out of Russia Is
generally the intellectual, and the
reading room is probably the first
place he seeks out after his arrival In
London. My informant tells me that
the spy used until recently to sit ut a
desk near the door. whence he could
observe everybody that entered and
used to work his way steadily through
the monumental catalogue OF the mu-
scum, taking ont books which he
opened, but did not read. in alpha
betical order.
