SURPRISED Mr.. BALL
DESERVED scoLDlNG THAT WAS
INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.
Father Knew He Was Late, But He
Did Not Know of Happening That
Made Family So Glad to
Welcome Him.

Tom glanced at his watch And l

eight o'clock. II l wasn't going any
where he'd have been home half an
hour ago."
"And II makes supper dishes so

Marion.
The telephone bell rang and Tom
took down the receiver yes, this is
Tom. No. he hasn't come home yet.
Is that SO? Well! Yes, I'll call you
as soon as. he comes. Good-by."
He tried to speak unconcernedly as
he faced his mother and sister. "It
was Angle, and she wanted to speak
with father" -
What was she telling you about?"
broke in Mrs. Ball.
The boy hesitated; then he met his
mothers anxious eyes steadily. "She
heard that a Myrtle avenue car
bumped into a Blossom street car.
Nothing very serious, imagine. Be-
sides, you know father doesn't take
that car once year"
Yes, he just hates the suburban
line," agreed Marion quickly.
Mrs. Ball did not speak. She walked
20 the bay window and pushed aside
the lace draperies with trembling fin
gers. The children came to her side,
and all three peered anxiously into
the twilight.
Here he isl" cried Marion.
Tom shook his head. TOO tall for
father. It's Mr.. Stevenson. But who
is this coming now?"

During the next 10 minutes several
other late corners In turn reused and
disappointed the hopes of the Balls.
Then, quite unexpectedly, familiar
little figure came walking briskly up
the avenue Mrs. Ball sighed with re-
lief, and hustled of to the kitchen
while the children threw open the
front door. '
IT guess I'm pretty late" began Mr..
Ball, meekly. He stopped in surprise
as Tom. politely helped him with his
coat and Marion solicitously hung up
his hat.
Hurry up, Renry!" called Mrs.

about it," said the grouse. And the
grouse scratched his head and fell into
a long study and didn't pay any atten-
ton to the turkey, who just couldn't
wait to hear how to change his voice.
At last the grouse stood up and said:
II will teach you how to improve
your voice, but first / must have a
present" So the turkey asked what
1t was the grouse wanted. And the
grouse said that he wanted collar Of
fine feathers to put round his neck.
Twill these feathers do?" asked the
turkey, and he pointed to row which
he wore around his legs.
"Yes," said the grouse. So the tur-
key took them off and gave them to
the grouse.
He was left then with bare legs clear
up past the knees, but the turkey
didn't care; and the grouse was well
pleased with his new feather collar
so well pleased that ever since he
spends a great deal of time ruffiing
and smoothing it.
Finally the grouse asked the turkey
to follow him into the woods and get.
upon log. And the grouse got up on
the log, too, and said:
Nov, when give the signal by tap
ping on the log you must halo just as
loud as you possibly can" And when
all was ready the grouse tapped on the
hollow log, as he knows how to do, SO
that the noise went booming through
the woods.
But SO excited was the turkey, and
SO much noise did the grouse make
when he tapped on the hollow log, that
he could not raise his voice to shout,
but could only gobble. And ever since
then, whenever he has stopped feed
ing and thinks he hears noise in the
woods, he gets excited and gobbles.

with vim that seemed almost unwar-
told us his history.
Three years before he had been a
real captain, and no prouder man ever
rode the seas. He was taking a
freighter through the Mediterranean
when suddenly In broad daylight he
ran his ship upon sandbar, and the
boat went down. No lives were lost
but the cargo was very valuable and
his stripes were taken from him. and
he was made steerage inspector. 1t
was easy to see why he had SO cham
pioned Captain Smith and said that dis
asters can happen to the best of cap
tains. Cut it is one of the traditions
of the sea that man who has once
lost ship must never be captain
again.
Bremen is very attractive city.
Running through the center OF the
town Is a long narrow lake, along
whose banks all the fine residences
of the city are situated. They are
very charming villas, ornamented with
many flowers and trailing vines: The
lake is full of ducks, little ducks. big
ducks, white ducks and black ducks.
Their homes are little houses an

are high and dry and filled with

LABORERS OPPOSE
 WAGE REDUCTION Skilled Workers on Panama Canal
 Threaten Strike.

Panama, May 1.-Much opposition to reductions in the wage scale of skilled labor on the canal has arisen since the new wage scale was pro- mulgated in conformity with an ex- ecutive order issued by President Will
 son on February 2, to become opera tive on April 1, when the permanent government of the Panama canal went into effect. ..r sl '.,g.s
 The skilled workers have been in communication with the parent unions in the United States, with the result that the Metal Trades depart ment of the American Federal tion of Labor has instructed the unions on

stood, have communicated or will communicate with their parent or ganlzations With the view of obtain- ing strike sanction. It is not the immediate intention, according to labor leaders here, to make use of the strike weapon to force the con- tlnuation of the present scale, but only in an emergency of such character as to make its use a necessity.
 It is not anticipated that any op- position to the new wage scale will come from the numerous clerks and other unorganized employees on the canal force. As yet no active opposi- ton has appeared among them, al- though it is said that many of them contemplate resigning and returning to the United States and seeking other employment This class of employees in any event will suffer considerab ble shrinkage through the gradual reduc- tion in force made necessary by the completion of construction work.
 Many Unemployed Men.
 A serious problem also confronts the authorities of the canal zone and the republic of Panama because of the increasing number of unemployed men.
 Within the last year many thou. sands of unskiIled canal workers have been thrown upon their own re- sources because there was no more work for them. Tn almost every case they have saved no money for a rainy day. The result has been an in- creasing amount of lawlessness, run ming particularly into the line of petty 11rCr1Q QY>in Y For unskilled labor there is now absolutely no demand either on the isthmus, the outlying provinces of the republic or the neighboring s5repub lies of Central and South America. The proposed government railway in the province of Chirique Is expected it's early start is not at all bright here.
 Prisoners Construct Roads.
 There is little or no other construc- with the exception of the national ex- position, practically is at a standstll. On the zone fine roads are being con- structed by the prisoners in the peni- tentiary. This also is the case in the Panama republic.
 Both Panama city and Colon, the two most important cities in the Pan anna republic, are filled with idle negroes who are looked upon as more Or less of a menace by the two nolice forces. The Panamanian authorities say that the problem is one for solu- tion by the canal government.
 The question of the unemployed Jamaican negro is simple. When he left his native shore to come to Pan- anna to work on the canal he was compelled to deposit $6 for his re- turn passage when his job here was done. Many of them, however, do not wish to return for the reason that they are now accustomed to. larger wages than they have ever been able to earn in Jamaica. Besides, they say, the island is already overpopu- lated.
 True of Other Islands.
 The question of higher wages and other West Indian islands. Then, too, there is at present little or no de- <, mand for this class of labor in any of the West Indies, with the possible , exception of Cuba and Porto Rico according to information here. i It is anticipated that the entire i question probably will have to be 1 submitted to the governments of the i various countries from which these 1 laborers came.

Ayerage{Wag Stated.

Under the terms of the Adamson act esta blishing the permanent gov ernment of the Panama canal, it is provided that no one on the canal force shall be paid more than twenty five per cent. in excess of,Jthet average wage for similar work paid in the United States. In conformity with this provision Col George w.. Goethals; governor of the Panama canal, issued a circular establishing a new wage scale. This provided for considerable reductions all along the line.
 It is understood here that Col. Goethals personally favors the con- tinuation of the present wage scale until the period of construction shall have been ended. If this is done the reductions will become effective grad ually and not until after the constr,!c- tion of the canal has been fully com- pleted.
 Strike Is Predicted.
 The various labor unions repre- sented on the isthmus, it is under
