Now let the merry microbes dance
In oysters milk and butter,
For they can crawl all over us
And never cause flutter;
Away with ptomaine aches and chills
And bacillary terrors,
For vaccine will deliver us
From dietary errors.
When alcoholic serum comes
A drink won't be SO risky
From little headache bugs which
dance
In every glass Of whiskey;
But we will drain the bumper dry
With antitoxic laughter,
Immune from care and vain regrets
Which wreck the morning after
For ev ry habit on the list
Vaccines should beinyented,
And thus the consequences dire
OF misdeeds be prevented.
For debts, for taxes-all the ills
That pocketbook is heir to-
incubation is the thing
That nothing can compare to.
No limit of achievement can
Dismay the men of science,
When with their friendly germs
they make
An anti death alliance.

At Maheu's new cutting the Ia
Dor was very hard. That part of
the felonniere vein was grow
ing thinner each day, so that the
hewers, wedged between the wall
and the roof, bruised their elbows
while plying their picks. Besides
the water came in more and more;
they were in constant apprehen-
sion of being flooded by one of
those abrupt torrents that split
the rock and carry away the men.
The day before Stephen, while
violently driving home his pick
and wrenching it back again. had
received full in the face a squirt
of water; but 1t was only a
warning; the cutting got simply
more swamped and unhealthy.
Besides, he never so much as
thought of possible accidents, his
daily life having become like that
of his comrades, careless of dan
ger.
They lived among the damp

perceiving the kind of spidery web
it left hanging on their lashes.
At times, however, when the
flame of the lamp, burning low

there. was a passing thought
vouchsafed to 1t. A miner glued
his ear to the wall to hear the
kissing noise of the gas which
exuded in little air bubbles from
the crevices. But the constant
fear that hung over them was
that of a slip, for besides the in
sufficiency of The propping, al
ways too hastily slurred over, the
rock scarcely held together, sod
dened as 1t was with the water
suddenly spouting out in enor-
nous jets.

injustice became too great; they
would end by asking for their
rights, seeing that even their
bread was taken from them. The
women above all would have liked
to storm there and then this

where there would be no more
Indebtedness. Night was coming
on apace, the drizzle was falling
thicker and faster, but they
still filed the village with their
tears, amidst the discordant cries
of their neglected little ones.
That evening at Rasseneur's
the strike was decided upon
Rasseneur himself no longer OPP
posed 1t and Souvarine accepted
it as a first step. Stephen summed
up the situation in one word:
IF the company wanted the
strike they would have it,"
A Slip in the Mine.
A week went by and the men
continued to work, dull and sus-
picious, awaiting the struggle.

sense. One night Catherine had
not come home. When she re-
turned next morning she did not
go to work. She wept and said
it was not her fault. Chaval had
locked her up threatening to
thrash her If she attempted to
get away. He was becoming mad
with jealousy and wished to pre-
vent her returning altogether, at
any rate while Stephen was
there.
Mother Maheu. wound up to a
pitch, wanted there and then to
go to Montsou to slap Chavaps
face. She did not do so, but

There was no doubt of his being
the instigator of the escapade;
consequently he received sound

Mother Maheu in presence OF the
terrified youth and infant popu-

Had the like ever been seen
before with children who had
done nothing but cost money
from their birth, and who ought
to bring in something now. at

HOUSTON HELPS
ALLAN A IN
BANK FIGHT
First Dash On in Race Before Of
fciaIs Arrive-EIaborate En-
tertainment Planned,

The final squirt in the race for a
,.s.io1al bank in Atlanta is on and
,here is no let-up in the flood of en-
aura cement from the cities afar off.
The Georgia cities have done their
,r,rl, nobly. and now the disinterested
testimony of distant banks makes the
Universal approval all the more
manifest
While Atlanta makes ready for the
coming of Secretary McAdoo, Secre-
.arv Houston and Comptroller VIII
l,sms. the national banks in every
state in the Union continue to send
m assurances of their selection of At
laHta, forwarded in the first instance
m he National Organization Board.
IN whose hands rests the work of
deciding on the reserve districts and
the regional banking cities.
Letter From Houston.
Monday letters and messages came
IN from the national banks in sixteen
,,.;ne In eleven different States.
Among them was a letter from the
Union National Bank, of Houston,
Texas. a city prominent in the list of
randidates.
r. c. Dunn, the president, writes
shat he favors a bank in Atlanta, and
another in Houston, thus obviating
Richmond and New Orleans from
The competition, so far as the Hous-
ton banks selective scheme is con-
oerned.
And that sentiment seems to be
growing.
Social Side important.
In the rush of preparation to pre-
sent the claims of Atlanta before the
Organization Board, the social side of
the visit by the distinguished guests
is not being overlooked.
The guest list practically is COM
pJeted for the dinner Saturday night
at the Capital City Club, probably to
he the most brilliant affair of the
kind ever seen in the South. Three
hundred covers are to be laid, and the
event should prove very pleasant
finale to a couple of extremely busy
DAYS. at the end of long and i'm
Dortant season of work.
Dance to Tempt Visitors.
Miss Mona McAdoo, daughter of the
Secretary of the Treasury, is 10 be
in Atlanta with her best friend, Miss
Robinson, to join her father here,
and the Piedmont Driving Club has
made them both guests of honor at
The annual Valentine ball Friday
night The three members of the
Organization Board also are invited,
and it is expected they will attend.
The only thing that prevents an
even more elaborate round of social
diversions is the brief stay and the
wetghty business of the visitors.

gave my man; they are

with u.s." said one woman.
81 haven't enough to pay for
my last fortnight's bread" said
another
And so it went on from door
to door. Mother Maheu had come
out like the others. A group
was forming around La Levaque,
who bawled harder than the rest,
for her husband had not even
come back and she felt that, large
or small, the pay would be con-
siderably melted down at the vol
cano. Philomena was watching
Maheu so that Zachariah might
not get hold of his money. The
only one who remained sufficient
ly calm was La Pierronne, but
then her husband always man
aged, one did not know how, or
rather one knew 1t too well, to
have more work put down on the
viewers passbook than any 9TH
err workman. La Brulee thought
it cowardly of her son-in-la law to
allow himself to be thus favored.
She was with those who showed
their anger; she stood amongst
them, erect and stiff, her clenched
fist threatening montsou in the
distance.
And to think" she yelled with
out naming the Hennebeaus, that

morning in the carriage. Yes,
their cook in a coach and pair,
going to Marchionnes for their
fish, to be sure
Which announcement was re-
ceived with loud clamor and
proved the signal for the renewal
of all sorts of violent language.
This servant girl in a white apron
driven to the market of the neigh
boring town in the carriage Of her
master aroused a general indig-
nation.
When the workmen were starv-
ing, their employers had fine fish
nevertheless. But they would not
always have It; the turn of the
poor would come. And the ideas
sown by Stephen were growing,
spreading out amidst this cry of
revolt.
1t was the impotence at the as
vet distant prospect Of this prom
ised golden age. the craving to
have a share of this happiness
that lay beyond their horizon. as
