tertain those views there could be no

Meeting with Young Rockefeller.
Concerning my meeting with Air
Rockefeller. Jr., during my visit in New
York. IL was understood that we Were
not 10 meet as an employer of labor and
an official of labor union. so We came
together as one American citizen meet
ing another. Our conversation nat
urally drifted into the Colorado indus
trial situation, and it was made plain
to Mr.. Rockefeller that the recent plan
Of the cperatorr in permitting the min
crs to select one man from every $50
employed In the coal mines Of the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron Company to repre-
sent them in taking mp grievances with
the officials of the company was neither
democratic nor practicable, and that in
the end II would simply result IN more
discord and confusion, instead of pro-
noting harmony or real understanding.
l suggested to Mr.. Rockefeller that a
conference between himself and John p.
White. international president of the
United Mine Workers of America, or
with the three resident international of.
ficials. would be the proper and surcst
way TO arrive at n solution of the probs
lem in Colorado.
Needs Know Real Facts.
No doubt there will be much interest
in any word picture of young Rockcfcl.
Ter ON the stand. He impressed me as
being highly educated md very intelli-
gent man. and I could not but feel, as
he sat there testifying, that II this
young man could only know the real
facts, the hardships. the privations. the
great suffering that his people have en-.
dured: II he could know of the men
who had toilcd 40 faithfully in his
mines. mills and factories for the sue
cess Of his companies; IL he could but
understand the real despotism which
prevails in closed camp In which the
church. the school, tho recreation. the
water. the light, the fuel and even the
town officials are entirely controlled by
the cmpanics--camps in which there is
no democracy whatever; n he could
know these things, then the intelligence
which he showed on the stand would
cry out against their continued toIcra-
tion.

LOSSES SURREY PREVeNIED
SEEK TROPHIES OF THE WAR
curIo Dealers Willing to Pay High
Prices for Mementoes, Which
They Hope to Sell.

Curio dealers from England and
from the continent are reported to be
in the vicinity of the battlefelds In
northern France endeavoring to buy
trophies of the war, which they hope
in time may be valuable. They find,
it is said, some difficulty in driving
bargains. Amateurs who have come
into possession of trophies hold them
for high prices or will not sell on any
consideration. It is recalled that after
the American Civil war came to an
end bookseller in the Bermudas,
when the cargoes Of the blockade run
ners in the harbor of Hamilton were
sold at auction, bought a number OF
package cases without the least knowl-
edge Of their contents. Among these
were several boxes of brass buttons
consigned to the Confederate army
for use on soldiers uniforms. Some
twenty years later tourists discovered
these old Confederate buttons. A New
York dealer made high bid for the
entire supply. This bid was refused,
and these buttons for which in the
war-torn years a small fraction OF
a cent was paid, have been selling at
Is cents and 81 each.

Tho Fatted Calf.
Abe had no such qualms as Samuel.
He wanted to see Angy that minute.
and he did not care If she did know
why he had returned.
He fairly ran to the back door un-
der the grape arbor, so that Samuel.

fear that he might be that young Abe

the joyful explanation needed.
She was struggling with the strings
Of her bonnet before the looking-glas
which adorned Blossy'e parlor-kitchen.
She turned to him with a little cry,
and he saw that her face had changed
marvelously-grown young, grown
glad. grown soft and fresh with q new
excited spirit Of jubilant Thanksgiving.
"Oh, fatherl We're MT yew s'prised

Blossy appeared from the room be-
yond. and slipped past them. knowing
intuitively where she would find her
lord and master; but neither of them
observed her entrance or her exit.

her close. What had happened to her.

Recalling his memories Of last night,
the memories Of that long-ago honey

beard, Dearest"
She did not seem to think he was
growing childish. She was not even
surprised. At last she said, half be-
tween sobhing and laughing:
"Oh, Abe, amt God been good to

Rich!" she cried. "Richl"
Abe sat down suddenly, and covered
his face with his hands. In q flash he

surely that was smoke coming out Of
the chimney!
Ezra must have gone out with the
horse. and Blossy must be entertaining
Angy in some outlandish way de-
manded by the idiosyncrasdes Of the
Rose temperament.
Samuel flung open the door. and
strode in; but only to pause on the
threshold, struck dumb. Blossy was
not there. Angy was not there, nor
anyone belonging to the household.

slender wrists.
