And Very Touchy, Too, Is the DEVILS
Coach Horse Beetle,

My, how very touchy he is! Point
your finger at him and see how he
turns up his tail and opens his jaws.
just as if he were lion instead of a
tiny beetle He thinks he is going to
frighten us away. But we won't hurt
him. anyway. because he is very
valuable sort of beetle-a thy garbage

ing about in gardens. Like majority
Of beetles, he's one Of natures scaven-
gers.
Have you ever thought what dirty
old world this would be if it were not
for the animals and birds and insects
that go around cleaning up? Certain
birds and animals devour the bodies of
other animals, but they leave it to the
beetles to clean up the crumbs.
So he's busy all day devouring the
little particles that the big eyes of the
buzzard cannot see. He's always cele-
brating clean up week. So don't blame
him If he turns up the end of his tail
and looks at you threateningly when
you disturb him. He's too busy to
play.-Philadelphia North American.

Causes and Effects,

If man was to judge of causes by
their effects there would be no small
causes in the universe. In a nature
where everything is connected, where
everything acts and reacts. moves and
changes. composes and decomposes.
forms and destroys, there is not an
atom which does not play an important
and necessary part: there is not an i'm
perceptible particle, however minute,
which, placed in convenient circum-
stances, does not operate the most pro-
digious effects. If man was in ca
pacity to follow the eternal chain, to
pursue the concatenated links that con-
uect with their causes all the effects he
witnesses he would find that
they are true atoms which nature en-
plOys to move the moral world.-Hol-

ally nothing occurred except several minor assaults upon three or four of the strikebreakers, and the cutting of the trolley ropes, which might be considered an infraction of the law.
 Carmen Absent Themselves.
 The striking carmen themselves were conspicuous by their absence from the scene, once they had es- corted from the cars all the old en- ployes. The two crossing watchmen were included in this list. The union leaders announced that every employe quit work, the full membership of the union being 32 men, in all depart ments affected
 The carmen went to Labor temple, where they held a closed meeting, at which they heard talks, received sug- gestions and advice from leaders of their own selection and from or ganized labor generally. Much en- thusiasm was displayed, and the men made plain their determination to "stick it out to finish"
 The meeting of the carmen con- tinued nearly two hours, and was fol- lowed by the torchlight procession which immediately preceded the mass meeting of organized labor later in the night.
 Strike Ends Active Day.
 The calling of the strike virtually brought to an end a day which was one of continued activity on the part of the union labor leaders, as well as of the street car company directing heads.
 At the offices of the company the men engaged to take the places of the strikers were getting their uni forms and instructions from the sev- eral department heads.
 Among the union men, the commit tee composed of w. B. Hicks, chair man; Walter Davis, N H. Alexander, Bert Smith, J. A. Moore and X. F. Hughes, met during the early fore noon, and went to the office of the Pine Bluff company, being admitted to his office at 10 o'clock. The con- ference was brief, MT.
