must husband our resources. We
must relieve distress, but We must not

Many a man who never had any
schooling" gets an education, and
often surprisingly good one.
A traveller in Scotland once met
farmer whose ground rent was about
$40 year and who wrote poetry In
Gaelic that was OF high order.
This same traveller met a youth In
Scotland who rode from home on horo-
back to the seaport, and then across
Scotland to Aberdeen. where he sold
his horse to enter the university.
It Is related of another Scotchman
that he was overheard repeating .
line Of Tennyson, whereupon some one
asked what poet he liked best.
Homer" he replied.
Whose translation do you read?"
II rarely read translation" he
said, wiping the fish scales from his
apron. II like best to read Homer In
the original Greek."-Minneapobs

ATTEMPT TO PROVE
THAT MINING COS.
PRACTICED PE0NACE

Hancock, Mich, Feb. 0.-Unemployed
men imported to take the places of cop
per mine strikers testified today before
the congressional committee that they
had come here with the understanding
that the strike virtually was over and
that during their journey and after their
arrival here they were kept under guard.
Counsel for the strikers endeavored to
prove by the six witnesses examined to-
day that peonage was practiced by the
mining companies in order to keep the
mines in operation.
The mining companies attempted to es-
tablsh on cross examination that the
guards maintained over the strikebreak-
ers were to afford protection from the
strikers.
An investigation OF the Calumet disas-
ter on Christmas eve may be made later
by the committee, it developed today. o.
N Hilton, counsel for the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, became angered by the

William s. Benton. British subject, by
the Constitutionalists in Juarez has re-
vived the fear among government sup

forced by Great Britain to take some ac-
ton that easily might become interven-

Gossip has been current here for sew

powers were again planning to urge the
United States to assume a more active
policy in restoring peace in Mexico and
many persons today expressed the belief
that the Benton incident might be seized
upon as an opportunity TO impress such a
view upon the Washington government.
Various diplomats today intimated that
they would use the killing of Benton as
the basis of reports to show their help
1essness when it comes to protecting their
nationals in the greater part of Mexico.
