Hancock local and one of the men indict-
ed. 1T has been openly acknowledged
that at least nine of the jurymen owe
allegiance to the citizens alliance. and
that body is frankly the enemy of or
ganized labor Everything We have done
in connection with this strike has been
open and above board"

cealed weapons. were arrested today.
Although the jury continued its DELHI
erations this morning. only one other
true bill had been found, and those who
had expected return on the deportation
of Charles II. Meyer. president of the
Western Federation of Miners, admitted
today that there was nothing on which
to base a prediction as to the probable

Conan Doyle's Hound of the Bas-
kervilles," a "fearsome animal" Is said
to have Its origin In the legends OF
packs Of spectral hounds which are
popular In various parts of England
and Wales. In the north Of England
these apparitions are known as Ca
briefs hounds" In Devon the "Wisk,"
Vest" or Heath hounds" in Wales
"Cron Annwn" or "Cwn Wybir'' and
in Cornwall the Devils Dandy dogs"
They are supposed to be evil spirits
hunting the souls of the dead. Gener-
ally they are only heard and seem to
be passing swiftly along in the air, as
they usually choose cloudy nights for
the pursuit of their prey Their yelp-
ing is said to be terrific, resembling
the note Of a bloodhound. All of which
tends to show that the origin OF these
legends of goblin hounds is to be found
in the terrifying noises made by flocks
Of wild geese

Sailors are full of superstitions. You
cannot shake them. You would find it
practically impossible to convince sail
ors that Ill luck does not cling to a
vessel whose name has been changed
or that a craft whose name ends up
in "a" does not rest under an evil
spell. Persist and you will be asked
about the Victoria, sunk in the Medi-
terranean; the Stella, lost off the Chan
mel islands; the AreQuipa, ashore on the
west coast Of America the Cobra, a
destroyer, which broke her back on
her maiden voyage in the North sea,
and the Stamina, burnt in the harbor
at Malta OF course there are hun
dreds Of vessels afioat which bear the
unlucky final letter and in which it is
safer to travel than on the railway,
but the list Of losses is a formidable
one.
Then sometimes 1t is a member of
the crew to whom a particularly evil
influence is attached; sometimes 1t is
a passenger. But IL you want to see
a sailorman shiver with superstition
let there be some hitch in the solemn
ceremony Of launching. 1t nearly
breaks the sailor boys heart.-London

An Arabian Feast.

In a description Of an Arab feast in
honor Of visiting dignitary the North
African News gives the following as
the main features" Of the meal, which
is spoken Of as having been "a regal
repast:"
"a sheep roasted whole and filed
with pistachio nuts; the national 'cous-
cous,' the dish both of rich and poor,
served up with roast chicken and or
namented with a wreath of hard boil
ed eggs cut in slices. Then 'chikouka, ,
composed of capsicums, tomatoes and
eggs beaten up with oil and lemon
juice; cakes spread with butter and
honey; artichokes dressed like Spanish
onions, but prepared with the pistlls
Of bean flowers; cakes of semolina,
kneaded with dates, and pastry of va
rious kinds seasoned with sugar and
the essence Of rose and jasmine"

London shops and cIerks.

In the stores in London the clerks
first attracted my attention, but may
say the stores and shops themselves,
after New York, seemed small and old
New York is 80 new. The space given
to the more important shops is SO con-
siderable. In London 1t struck me that
the space was not much and that the
woodwork and walls were dingy. One
can tell by the feel of place whether
1t is exceptional and profitable, and all
of these were that, but they were din
gy. The English clerk, too, had an air
of civility-I had almost said servili-
(which was different. They looked
to me like individuals born to a con-
dition and point Of view, and think
they are In America any clerk may
subsequently be anything he chooses
ability guaranteed), but I'm not so
sure that this is true in England.
Anyhow, the American clerk always
looks his possibilities-his problematic
future. The English clerk looks as If
he were to be one indefinitely. -Theo-

Value Of the Echo.

In one region not far from Detroit
there is an echo which makes loud
tones heard so clearly that persons liy-
ing on either side Of the depression
where the echo works have learned to
subdue their voices so that the echo
may not be aroused-and so that not
every one within a quarter mile may
hear all they may say. This makes
for quietness and peace in the neigh
borhood. This In turn affects the dis
positions of the persons affected; and
thus, you see. the echo becomes a
blessing for which many family and
many u neighborhood would gladly and
literally pay.-Exchange.
