Being MADE
BY Austro- Hungarian Railroad
Laborers Because of War
Munitions Shipments.
WHEELING, Oct. s-Returning from

WHEELING, Oct. 9-Returning from
q trip over the local district, a Balti-
more and Ohio official brings to
Wheeling the news that more serious
trouble is expected for the railroads
in regards to the Austro-Hungarta
anti-munition agitation that has been
evident in this section for some time
past. He stated that ag!tators have
been at work all along the Baltimore
and Ohio lines and he was informed
by section foremen and station agents
that Austrians and Hungartans en-
ployed in the section gangs have
threatened to quit work II the railroad
company hauls any Of the munitions
manufactured in this country for the
allies.
For the last two weeks anti-war and
ant-munition advocates have been
talking to theAsection men and shop
employees of the railroads in this sec
ton and not until threats were made
by the; foreign subjects of those coun-
tries did the section toremen find out
what the trouble was. 1t Is said that
the situation is serious in this sec
ton and that the railroad officials are
facing serious problem Of replacing
the men should they take notion
to walk out.
ut ds almost Impossible to gel
Americans to work on section gangs
said a local official. There are many
Americans. and have known o.
some, who would allow their families
to starve rather than to work In a
section gang. The work is not SO
hard, but the railroad companies will
have a hard Job In replacing the hun
dreds Of track laborers who are
threatening to leave" "a
Local officials are said to have sent
word to the general Offices OF the Bal
ltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at
Baltimore of the impending danger,
and from what was learned steps WILL
be taken Immediately to prepare for
such an emergency should it arise.
Local officials seem to be greatly CON
cerned over the situation but are re-
luctant to give out any further tnfor-
nation.

only in . comparatively insignificant

new system Of taxation, but is making
little progress: and recently agents of

A Curious Experience.

Lombroso, the famous Italian crimi-
nologist, once had curious expert
ence. He was in a printing office cor
recting the proofs in his Delinquent
Man with the chief reader when on
reaching a page which dealt with a
young man who, impelled by jealousy.
had stabbed his fiancee he made sur
prising discovery. The proofreader
was this man.
Suddenly" Lombroso said in telling
the story, "he threw himself at my
feet, declaring that he would commit
suicide if l published this story with
his name. His face, before very gen.
tie, was completely altered and almost
terrifying, and was really afraid that
he would kill himself or me on the spot

editions omitted his story"

A LESSON FOR THE NURSE.
She Didn't Like II When She Was Paid
In Her Own Coin.

She Didn't Like It When She Was Paid
In Her Own Coin.
A mother overheard her nurse girl
talking to the child she was putting to
sleep, and among other legends of the
nursery in which she was INDUCED was
this: "If you don't 60 to sleep this very
minute great, big. awful, black bear,
with eyes like Goals of fire and sharp,
white, cruel teeth, will come out from
under the bed and e-a-t-y-o-u-aAll up!'
The poor little thing nestled down un-
der the clothes to dream of horrid
bears eating her up.
That night when the stolid nurse had
composed herself in her own comfort
able bed and had put the light out
there came sudden rap at the door,
and the voice of the mistress called
loudly through the panels: Maggie!
Maggie! Get up as quick as you can!
There's burglar under your bed" At
the word burglar" the girl sprang
screaming from the bed, tore open the
door and fell into Mysteries in the hail.
The lesson was more instructive than
the mistress designed, but when the
girls fears had calmed she said to her:
"You did not hesitate to tell my deli
cate child, who could not possibly
know that it was lie, cruel story
about bear under her bed. Now,
when l treat you to the same kind Of a
story, you are nearly frightened to
death. Tomorrow you can go into the
kitchen and work there. You are not
fit to care for little children."-St. Lou
