RAILROADS REFUSE DEMANDS
OF MEN-MAY MEAN STRIKE
Railroads yesterday refused out
right the demands of the Big Four"
railway brOtherhOOds, who will now
vote as to whether or not they shall
go on strike to enforce their de-
mands.
The roads allege the demands Of
the men will increase their expenses
S1OO,OOO,OOO a year. They say this
expense will have to be paid by the
public; and not believing that the
poor public is going to stand for this
increase cost of travel and freight
age, they have refused the better
working conditions, wages and
hours demanded by the men.
The action of the brotherhoods
yesterday means that nothing fur
ther will develop till August 1, when
officials of the richest and most pow
eTful unions in the country will re-
turn to New York with the vote of
35O,OOO on the strike proposition. If
the conference in August fails, a
strike will tie up the country at the
time crops begin to move and when
domestic and foreign shipments are
the heaviest.
This morning announcement was
made that railway fares to all points
west of the Missouri had been in
creased from 81 to $4 in each in
stance. The announcement was not
made public by way of a statement
from the roads. Instead, tariffs were
quietly filed and they became effec-
tive. The new charges won't affect
summer tourist charges now in force.

Hitting throng. And what . mad, mad dance they hadl Over the lawn and the garden wall, beyond the slumber- ing meadow and clear into the nour- muring wood they raced. Then round and round the great tree-trnnks and up and over and through the leaves they danced, singing all the while a merry refrain. A word of command from the Queen and again they were off, flying high In air.
 Farm houses and whole villages reeled away beneath them. An auto- mobile came dashing down the road but they, flying just above it, left 1t far behind. A bit further on they easily outdistanced a railroad train.
 Another command, and higher and higher they mounted. Presently the stars were quite close; and as they passed, each star winked at them gaily and cast its light upon them. Down down-down again to earth to gar- den beautiful, where roses and pan- sies and marigolds and Sweet Williams were sound asleep. But they woke up their sweet fragrance by way of well come.

 well. the pure graphite Is too soft to use in pencils. so they mix clay with 1t. The soft pencils have less clay in them than the hard ones. You see, there Is moro graphite in the soft ones, and as the graphite Is what makes the marks when you press down on the pencil, more graphite comes off the point of the soft one than the hard one"
 "oh, yes, I sse,'' Jamie said, mak- ing marks with both pencils.
 Now, the graphite mixed with the right amount-of clay. Is pressed very hard by big machines, called com- pressors. and shaped into the long, wooden part of the pencil
 What kind of wood is 1t, Daddy?"
 Cedar, usually" his father replied. And cedar grows right here in this country. You have seen cedar trees lots of time. haven't you? Well, the cedar wood is out up into slats, and grooves made in the slAts just large enough to hold the graphite. After that the graphite is laid in the grooves and another slat with grooves just like the other 3s glued on to the first one."
 Jamie's father got out his knife, and broke the blue pencil open. and Jamie could see tho long black graph ite lying in the groove in the cedar wood.
 "Each stat has about six grooves in 1t, so that six pencils are made from two slats. Then the pencils are out out by machinery and smoothed off in another machine. Now they are ready for their coats of paint and var nish."
 "Whes! It must be q job to paint all those pencilsl" Jamie said.
 "Oh, that Is all done by machinery, and a great many are painted at one time, although tho finest and most ex- pensive ones are painted and polished by hand, by . skillful workman"
 "I wonder how those pretty gold letters get on the pencils" Jamie said.
 well. gold or silver leaf-which is very thin---is cut into small strips and laid on the pencils. Then a hot piece of steel with the letters on, is pressed down on 1t very hard and parts of the gold or silver leaf stick to the pencil and make tho pretty letters"
 Now. Daddy, tho eraser. How do they put that on and what is 1t made of?"
 The erAsers are made of rubber, and are glued into the pencil at the same time the two halves of the pen oils arc put together, or else they are clam ped on afterwards, in the little
