GET EVEN WITH EMPLOYER
City Laborers Who Handle ShoVels
Have Many Tricks They Are Not
Slow to Employ.

The employers who hire day la
borers in Chicago seldom supply
them with shovels nowadays. They
give them picks, as they used to. but
they expect the men to provide their
own shovels. The reason for this Is
that as soon as the men are given
shovels some of them f1le off the cor
ners of the shovels. They claim
and there is reason for their claim
that the shovel being more pointed
enters the earth easier SO that the
digging is made less laborious, and
this only is their reason-they would
MT think of cutting down the shovel
so that even If they threw out the
same number of shovelfuls day they
would be accomplishing less.
But at times they have a different
reason for making their shovels
smaller. If they think they are not
being paid enough they will make a
still further cut in the size Of their
shovels. This makes the work just
as hard for them, the gang boss
probably makes them throw out just
as many shovelfuls each day-al-
though of course each load will be
slightly Hghter-but at the end Of
the day they will not have covered as
many yards as they would have with
the larger shovels. This is their way
of getting even with their employer;
they will work as hard as ever, but
they don't want him to get as good
results.

SIX VICTIMS OF CANNIBALs
Native Missionaries In the New Heb
rides Meet Death as Martyrs
to the Faith.

The killing and eating of six native
missionaries by cannibals Is the lat
est horror to be added to the grim
record of the New Hebrides. A few
weeks ago the little band (eight in
alD was sent into the cannibals' ter
ritory at the latter's request. No
sooner had they landed, however, than
they were set upon by armed saw
ages. Six of them were shot down
like dogs and, it is feared, eaten with
full tribal reioicings. The tribe re-
sponsible for the tragedy Is a large
one, and is known locally as the big
Namba. They occupy the greater
portion of the north of Malakula ISL
and, are of fine physique, with an un'
enviable reputation for cold-blooded'
ness and treachery. The nearest mis-
sion station to Malakula is on the
Island of Walla, eight miles away.
Early in May eight missionaries
crossed over to Malakula, and
preached in native village. afterward
returning to headquarters. A few
days later DR.. Sandiland, who Is in
charge of the mission station, received
request from the Malakula natives
that the missionaries should be sent
over again. Eight native missionaries
were dispatched to the village, and,
after preaching, stated their intention
of going on to the next. This propo
sal met with the disapproval of the ma
tives, who warned the missionaries
that it would be dangerous to go far
ther. They disregarded the warning
however, and went to their doom. Al
most as soon as they arrived at the
village they were set upon by huge
crowd of armed savages, who hemmed
them In on every side, uttering hide
Gus war cries. At given signal shots
were fired, and six missionaries fell.

You'd scarcely expect this Of a boy,
but here is what happened:
1t was the last half Of the ninth, and
the Indians were one run behind. With
that gameness that has characterized
their play this season they worked a
runner around and tied the score.
Then the battle for the winning run
began. An Indian walked and stole
second. One was out and a hit would
win the game.
Up in the stand sat mother, father
and young son. Mother and father had
their eyes riveted on the man at bat,
casting an occasional glance at the
runner on second to be sure he wasn't
caught mapping. The boys mind
seemed suddenly to leave the game
and, just when the excitement was
tensest, he turned to his mother and
said:
