State Employees.

Columbus, Nov. 2S.-According to
State Auditor Donahey state employees
who insist on eating meals costing
ever $l50 and charging them up to
tho state should be discharged. Don.
shey's forthcoming annual report will
deal exhaustiyely with the subject Of

FAMOUS GUNPOWDER PLOT
WAS EASILY F0ILED

King the letter so mysteriously given
to MOnteagle, no sign was advanced by
the royal party of anything forward.
But the night before the opening of
the session Sir Thomas Knevett and
a party of picked men descended into
the cellars below the Houses of Parlia-
ment and began careful search for
any untoward sign that threatened the
reign of His Majesty, James l. And at
midnight they found it.
At this time the cellars under the
Houses of Parliament were rented to
to merchants for storerooms. With the
aid Of faggots Robert Catesby, John
Wright, Thomas Winter and Guy
Fawkes, with several others whom
they had enlisted, got into the cellar
So barrels of powder, concealed under
coal and firewood, and prepared to up
lift Parliament and the King next day
when the session should open.
All over the easements Knevett and
his band prowled, seeing nothing to
arouse their suspicious until, of sud
den, in the disused coal cellar, they
came on rows of barrels partly con-
cealed under the boughs and brush the
conspirators had used for cover to
cloak their mine. The flickering light
of their torches showed also the out
line OF man, standing breathlessly
awaiting discovery or the eluding of
discovery, and the eyes of the search
ers caught the CLINT of sword blade,
barred and awaiting the comers. 1t
was Guy Fawkes, at the post of dan
ger, waiting to fire the train. With a
shout they sprang upon the single
guard Of the powder, and before he
could explode the mine or successfully
begin his own defense they had over
powered him and exposed the hidden
danger which had threatened the life
and King and Lord and commons.
Three months after the Illustration
OF the plot Fawkes was executed, and
one after another the other conspirat-
ors in turn were discovered, taken and
meted out the death penalty.
Now, three centuries later, Novem-
Der 5, through fair weather or foul
boys with diabolical and fiendish make
ups, pass in pageant and procession
through the London streets. carrying
to appointed places effigies of Guy
Fawkes-gentleman, marplot and gall
liant soldier--and with holiday cele-
bration the figures of the adventurous
leader Of the gunpowder plat are burn
ed. And there rings through the streets
a fierce. strange chant
Guy Fawkes, Guy! Stick him up high,
Hang him to lamp post and there let
him die"

OHIO COAL ARGUMENT MONDAY

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2S-The
constitutionality Of the coal mining
laws Of Ohio will be tested in the
United States Supreme Court, which
will hear on Monday the argument of
the Rail and River Company in its
case against the Industrial Commits
sion of Ohio. The brief of the at
torneys for the Ohio coal operators
filed in court emphasize the import
ance Of the case. The operators will
claim that because Of the law recently
enacted by the Ohio Legislature. the
coal mining industry of the state is
practically at standstill. "The loss
tc operators and employees in profits
and wages has already reached an
enormous total" declare the attorneys.
Chief Justice White dismissed the
case last month, but Withdrew the de-
cision and ordered the case set for
argument Nov. 80.
Another interesting argument set
for Monday Is in the case of the JEFF
rrey Manufacturing Co., involving the
validity of the Ohio workmen's coin.

Look for Guy Fawkes! Look for

Only this year it was for German
spies.
Year in and year out, upon the con-
