A TALE OF
 TWO MINERS

He was a thickset man with broad,
 strong face and light hair and nous
 tache He was bending down to set one of the iron posts of his fence in it's bed of cement as the newspaper man walked by. The fence builder strengthened up to greet the man of ink and paper. The talk began about fences but drifted to the byways of human life that are trod by the feet of the worker and the weary.
 Behind the fence stood handsome cottage built in the bungalow styie so popular in Warren. The builder looked with some pride at the house. "Yes it is my house." he admitted when pressed regarding the question of ownership. Just putting the fin ishing touches on the yard and kind of getting in shape for a good winter. A house of our own has been this entire family's ambition for many a long year. It was a hard pull, but we stayed with it and made the hump of the hill by an eyelash. I've worked in the mines for this house and made a good job of it."
 Two little kiddies in gingham silk hair played on the front porch. The sun shone with exceeding bril- liance in that well-kept front yard. The man at the fence stood as one whose feet are firm and he looked at the world unafraid.
 He came to the Warren district some eight or ten years ago, he said, and with him came a friend. also a miner. They worked together in the same shaft and on the same level. But now their levels are far apart. The house builder worked every day in the mine. while his friend worked part of the time in the mine and part of the time on the street corner Both were union men. but the house builder devoted most of his time to his work while his friend devoted most of his time to the union. The house builder was working for himself and his faur fly: his friend was working for the right and appurtenances lof all down. trodden workmen in the world.
 Things went on from good to bet ter with the house builder and from bad to worse with his friend. The former was saving money; the latter was m debt. The householder was In happy. satisfied frame of mind; lis friend was not Finally the house

AT THE LOOM OF LIFE

Ye sit today at the loom of life, And weave and weave. and weave. The warp is laid by Hands Divine. But ever the wool is where we grieve. For every moment of every day The shuttle flies through and through. The patterns we scheme, In the dreams we dream Are made up of things we do Smiles and tears; kind words and
 fears, Are wound on the bobbins we wind; And every thoughtless word is there; Every deed unkind; Every act we would fain forget; The thoughts that are dark and vain. We view them in the fabric of life, And see them again and again; We sit and weave with aching hearts. In a world of vast regret. And our tears fall fast. as we view the
 past, And we pray that we may forget. But out of repining and recoil, We look in the future and see That the pattern has not been woven
 in vain, For our lives are spread on broader
 plain. We know not the length of warp or
 woof;- We know not our given span; But into each days allotted task Let us put the best we can. Of smiles, of kindness. and patient
 care The unselfsh efforts we've made And blend them in colors surpassing
 fair, That the flight of years will not fade. And thus, at the end of our working
 day. When the shuttle falls from our ner-
 vOus hands. And the loom shall lie at rest. May we hear the voice of the Master
 say. Take the rest. well won. for the work
 thou hast done, For twas done as thou thought best" Joseph H. Marvell. in Philadelphia

THERE IS ALWAYS A FLY IN
 THE OINTMENT

Sitting in an easy chair in his new (rented) house in Warren the other evening the newspaper man was in- clined to be proud and naughty in his attitude towards the rest of the world A mans house is his castle and from it's shelter he gains fresh strength. This house was so new it shone like barkeep's diamond. There was brindle fringe on the portals, the partitions and the pantry. Paint and varnish and gliding pleased his eye. The porch was shady and a brave mesquite bush tried to help the porch as a substitute for the historic and famous vine and fig tree.
 But, when the newspaper man went forth from this comfortable abode which the carpenter, the mason, the painter and the glider had done their best to make into a Home, Sweet Home," he fell into a ditch. Crawl ing out of this ambuscade upon his hands and knees, he tried again to make his way to port. But it got worse instead of better. He fell over great rocks and drew back in terror at the edge of chasms. He lost his way in a most intricate trench sys- tenn of ditches that came from mo- where and led nowhere.
 All around him were nice looking houses and bungalows with trim porches and painted roofs and bow windows. Surely he was walking in dream. It could not be possible that all these handsome houses were erected in the midst of a no mans land of shell craters and abandoned trenches.
 But a bruised shin and a sprung knee joint convinced the newspaper man that he was wide awake.
 It is a more passing strange thing that a beautiful site like Warren, up on which have been builded so many nice residences, and upon which scores more are springing up, and the defi- nite certainty that hundreds more VIII De Duill SllOulu nave SlISclS duu alleys like the trail of a mountain wolf to and from his lair.
 And there are no lights upon these rock strewn. serrated trails that stretch between the rows of beauti ful homes. The Warren citizen who hies forth at night must either carry a lantern or place his trust in the noon and stars that the Lord has placed in the sky. On a dark night he has no chance at all. It is simply a hazard. like throwing dice.
 The newspaper man is not proud any more. But he has hopes for the future. The town is young yet. Some day it will incorporate and have streets and lights just like any other ordinary town. And some day it will be one of the most beautiful and won derful cities in the southwest, or northwest either, for that matter. Hasten the day, for the newspaper mans road is rough and his future filled with uncertainty, doubt and while he waits for the moon- beams to light him along his way.

AS MAN TO MAN

holder bought a lot and laid his plans the government, the employer and the money powers in general and went forth as a speaker for the rights of the workingman
 The years drifted by and one fine day some men came with scrapers and team or two and some picks and shovels and began to make an excavation for the house builders house. On that same day his friend came back to town and began mak- ing speeches in Union hall We'll, a lot of miners went out on strike, but the house builder was not one of these. He had a bunch of men on his payroll and that foundation had to be dug.
 A day came when the house build CTS friend left town in a cattle car. and that was the day the home builder carried a rifle instead of a pick He was out to protect that home.
 Well the end of the story draws near. The builder moved into his new home and his friend left his new home at Columbus about that time. still riding on a freight train. The miner who worked is a happy man today in his new home with his fam fly by his side and plenty of every thing and good credit at the store and at the bank and good friends by the score. He is still a Union man, but he devotes most of his time and thought to his work and his home. The man who would not work is d wanderer and an outcast somewhere between here and the coast. Only the Lord knows where his family is, or how they are living, he don't. He is still devoting most of his time to the union. the government and the rights of the world in general And he could not raise a dollar to save his life and soul.
 The newspaper man bade the home builder good bye. One of the kiddies on the front porch pushed her sister over backward and picked up the cat by the tail and laughed a happy, gurg- ling laugh. The kiddie on the floor started to yell. The man at the fence shook his finger reprovingly at them and the downfallen kiddie got upon her tootsies and laughed and started on a run for her dad

The state council of defense is leading in an effort to place the Ameri- can flag in every business window and on every home within the state. It is appreciated that the people of the nation must better appreciate that their liberties are bound up in the cause that is represented by the Stars and Stripes. The banner of the na- ton must be present in business and social life as an emblem of the free dom of people now menaced by an autocratic toe. It is hoped that more than mere casual observance of the fiag-fiying spirit will be known, and that the sight of the flag will lead to patriotic service based on something deeper than mere enthusiasm.

Roscoe "Fatty" ArbuckIe Too Big to
Travel in Pullman Sleeper

Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle, the latest
star under the Paramount banner, who
will be seen at the Colonial theatre
today in The Butcher Boy" has grown
so fat that when he travels by rail he
is compelled to have special private
car.
Being worth his weight in laughs, is
iE fact, one of the most serious handi-
caps under which the unfortunate Mr..
Arbuckle waddles, if one may believe
his representations. His excess adipose
tissue prevents the redoubtable comedi-
an from ever travelling in the common
variety of sleeping car and in this day
of frightfully high prices he finds him
self reduced to the extremity of hiring
a private car when travelling to or from
hither to yon.
Mr.. ArbuckIe, it seems, has had SO
many unfortunate experiences in his
endeavor to inhabit the ordinary sleep
ing car that he lost great weight
through worry and was in a fair way
to have to charge his standing from
the funniest fat man to the human
skeleton.
Fatty is travelling in a private
"caboose" as he calls it, because he
has found that this being worth ones
weight in laughs is a darn nuisance
and a frightfully expensive PROPOSE
ton. Arbuckle is so fat that he cannot
insert himself into the common varie-
ty Of sleeper without being let through
the window like a piano. The last time
he tried to struggle through the mar
row opening at the end of the sleeping
car. they had to pry off the roof and
haul him up to freedom after forcing
the steel sides Of the compartment
apart with a powerful jack-screw. &C
cording to the comedians own story.
After this bitter experience. Fatty
vowed that he would never again tempt
fate by entering sleeper.--Adv.
