until a full settlement OF disturbed
labor conditions is reached. The Rob-
ert Emmett and the Mccormick mines.
two OF the richest mines Of the district
were also ordered closed down by the
Empire Zinc company.
The operators Of the Leadville
camp have absolutely refused to rec
ognize the miners union and declare
their mines will remain closed until
the miners are ready to resume work
on the operators terms. Other oper-
ators of large mines are reported pre-
pairing to follow suit
A general strike Of the miners Of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Co., was i'm
minent today, following suspension OF
negotiations last night. The Z. F. and
l., for the first time in history, was
treating with representatives Of the
union. The split came over the uues-
ton Of recognition Of the union which
the miners demanded, instead of the
Rockefeller industrial plan. When the
{. F. and |. representatives refused to
consider substitution Of the union for
the paternaI system originated by
John d. Rockefeller Jr, and which the
miners claim is discriminatory and un-
satisfactory, the miners committee
withdrew from the conference and de-
clared that the strike order will be
carried out
There has been no hint of l. w. W.
activities in any Of the many strikes
which have been staged in Colorado
within the past two months. The fact
that a convention of l. w. w. miners
is scheduled for August l in Denver.
however, is causing apprehension here
that campaign of propaganda here
may follow the meeting.

IT WAS HIS OWN FIGHT.
So PIucky Enver Paaha Wanted the
Scrap Ali TO Himself.

So PIucky Enver Paaha Wanted the
Scrap Ali to Himself.
l have known EnVer pasha for some
years now, said a British vice consul
to a traveller who writes 10 an ex-
change. The beginning of orr friend
ships dates from the Young Turk revo.
luton of 1903. On the morning that
the. revolution broke out liz Constanti-
nople | went to the hazaars with a
guard of marines to see t!lat the shops
of British subjects were not attacked.
| found the IIindus unmolestcd, but
the shops Of the Armenians, Jews.
Syrians and Greeks We're being ruth.
lessly p%lundercd, and / observed men
dead or wounded lying on the pave
ment or across the doors Of shops they
had tried to defend. The climax was
reached when a lmlking trooper came
staggering out over the body of u muir
dered Armenian rug merchant. carry
ing a sack of loot in M hand and with
the other dragging by the hair Il half
senseless girl Of fourteen or fifteen.
Four or five companions. all loot laden
and yelling, reeied after him.
l had been ordered to refrain from
interfering, except to protect British
subjects, and l was still hesitating
when an Ottoman cavalry officer gal
loped up, leaped from his horse and
flung himself upon the soldier. A
vicious saber cut, shearing through the
turban and scalp, sent the hulking
wretch to the pavement. Instantly the
youthful Galahad stopped TO raise the
fainting girl, and it was only by Il cat
like spring that he was able to oppose
any guard to a descending saber that
II of the other hooters aimed at the
exposed back of his neck.
A moment later he had backed into
an angle of the wall and was calmly
meeting the furious but i'll directed at
tack of the rutians.
l wish the fight could have gone on
to a finish, for so coolly and adroitly
did the young officer stand his ground
that am confident he would have out
matched his clumsy assailants. But
my jackies got out of hand and start
ed in to equalize II contest that out
ragged their sense of craftsmanship.
The Bazoukies scattered at the sight
of the ominously leyeled ~bayonets, but
it was a very angry Turkish officer
who strobe up to the big sergeant Of
marines and in yoluble French de-
handed to know what he meant by
mixing up in another mans fight.
II am X. of the British embassy" l
interposed in halting Turkish. 1.-THE
marines thought you were in danger
and with the best of intentions tried to
create a diversion in your favor"
Il am Enver, captain in the Young
Turk army" he replied stifly in pre-
else English. '.In the circumstances
your apology is accepted AS you and
these men appear to have wandered
away from that portion of the city
where protection has been provided
for foreigners, may | not requite your
kindness by conducting all of you safe
" back to the British embassy"
And, in spite of my protests to the
contrary, come he did. But he unbent
on the way, and our meeting of that
morning was the beginning of a warm
friendship.

CHAMPION TREE FELLERs.
Beavers Are More Expert Than the
Best Lumherjacks.


The most expert lumberjack is in
ferior to the beaver as a tree Teller.
He cuts down trees in the most scien-
tific way. He can fell a tree so 1t viii
fall toward the pond where he wishes
to construct his home, thus saving
himself unnecessary work.
After the trees are felled the con-
struction work begins. He works
chiefly by night, for he is q nocturnal
prowler. The noon is his lantern, the
quiet of the night his inspiration, his
sharp teeth are his Ratchet and chisel,
n his little paws are his means Of
conveyance, his spade, his hammer
and his trowel. His hard, flat hairless
and scaly tail is q propeller when
swimming and a balance when he is
cutting timber, for he stands on his
hind legs while guawing down trees.
The beaver is a strict vegetarian,
and his diet consists chiefly of banks,
tender shoots and water plants.
To flood low grounds the beavers
sometimes have to build a dam ex-
ceeding fifty feet i'll length. They
usually lag it out with the curve fac
ing upstream. The Foundation is built
of poles four or five feet long by an
inch or two thick. These they lay
crosswise, filing all crevices with mud.
The beaver digs UP mud with his
fore feet, then holds it close to his
breast with his fore legs, swims to
where he has started his dam, and
having deposited it in its proper place
beats the mud down with his paws
not with his tail, as has been believed
st. Nicholas.

STEVENSON I'M HIS YOUTH.

/ do not think that in. these early

assured that he would share the honor,
with only n or two possible COMPETE

writer of the latter half of the nine
teenth century we would certainly
have received the assurance with a
smile. Whatl Louis! So simple,
kindly, natural SO all round a good
fellow SO like all the rest of US, only

And I am quite sure that in his in
most heart at this period he could
never really have looked forward to or
expected the fame which later came to
him and which grows aud expands as

OUR ECONOMIC HOUSE.
II May BE Rebuilt, as a Railway stA-
ton lis, White In Use.

40t u ft ~
Sometimes, when / think of the
growth Of our economic system, it
seems to me as If, leaving our law just
about where it was before any of the
modern. inventions or developments
took place, we had simply at haphaz-
ard extended the family residence, add
| ed an office here and d workroom there
| and a new set of sleeping rooms there,
| built up higher on our foundations and
put out little iean-tos on the side until
we had Il structure that had no char
aeter whatever. Now the problem is
TO live In the house and yet change it.
Well, we are architects In our time.
and our architects are also engineers.
We don't have to stop using a railroad
terminal because a new station is be
ing built. We don't have to stop any
ct the processes of our lives because
wo are ~rearranging the structures in
which we conduct those processes.
What we have to undertake is to sys-
temotize the foundations of the house,
then to thread all the old parts of the
structure with the steel which will be
laced together in modern fashion, ac-
conmodated to all the modern knowl-
edge of structural strength and elias
ITCHY, and then slowly change the par
titions, relay the walls, let in the light
through new apertures, improve the
ventilation, until finally, a generation
or two from now, the scaffolding VIII
be taken away and there will be the
family in a great building whose noble
architecture win at last be disclosed,
where men a live as u single COM
munity, cooperative as in a perfected,
co-ordinated beehive, not afraid of any
storm of nature, not afraid of any arti-
fetal storm, any imitation of thunder
and lightning, knowing that the foun-
dations go down to the bedrock of
principle and knowing that whenever
they please they can change that plan
again and accommodate it as they
please to the altering necessities of
their liyes.-'The New Freedom by
President Wilson.

THAT UPPER BERTH.
Getting Into 1t Sometimes Is a Good
Acrobatic Stunt.

Getting Into 1t Sometimes Is a Good
Acrobatic Stunt.
The ascent to an upper berth is an
art in itself, and, as one would expect
of an art, it is long. | do not mean
the ascent by stepladder. There are
those who climb mountains by rail
road, who let minions put on their bait,
who require caddies to tee their golf
balls, who hunt with heaters to drive
the game toward them. There are also
those who reach their uppers on car
peted steps.
Yet the heroic breed is not extinct.
Luxury has not yet completely slapped
our national Utility. Some of us are
made If sterner stuff. We climb I'M
assisted and alone.
We are off. Quickly we assume po-
sition A, with both hands grasping the
horizontal bar and with u right foot
firmly planted on the chest of the old
gentleman in the lower. We push off
vigorously. If the old g~entleman's
chest he of a proper firmness and resil-
iency this push brings us to position
3. with the left knee in the sharp knee
hold on the edge of the upper berth
and the right leg at large. The right
leg is then brought convulsively up
ward and forward and laid carefully
in the upper berth, and the left leg is
at liberty to follow it. From this point
on all is plain squirming. Frederick l..

VALUE OF sKlMMlLK.
Much Cheaper and More Nourishins
Than Round Steak.

Than Round Steak.
Skimmilk is a very economical food
Which should be more largely used. It
is the same as whole milk except that
the butter fat has been taken from it.
In skimmilk there remains all the sug-
ar. about four and one-half parts in
every II hundred, all of the mineral
salts, all of the protein. The protein
is the most valuable constituent of
milk. 1t not only serves as fuel for
the body as does the fat and sugars
but supplies heterogeneous tissue build
ing material.
Skimmilk should be classed, as whole
milk is, with eggs, meat. fish, poultry
and cheese. The governments food
experts praise skimmilk and give us
these interesting figures to show it's
value:
Two and a half quarts of skimmilk
contain almost as much protein and
yield about the same amount of en-
ergy as a pound of round OF beef.
When skimmilk sells for 4 cents a
quart, or about 2 cents a pound, and
round Of beef for 20 cents a pound, a
dime spent for skimmilk will provide
nearly twice as much nourishment as
it will if spent for round steak.
When milk sours normally it still re-
mains good food. 1t is not suitable for
the baby, but it will make good smear
case, or cottage cheese, one of the best
of foods.-New York Mail.
