 Impossible to Raise Wages.
 The United States Fuel administra- ton has granted all coal dealers in this city the right to make a net profit of 35 cents per ton, but these figures were based on the rate of 30 cents an hour for employees Already every yard is paying 3 } cents per hour for labor and the managers declare that it will be absolutely impossible to pay 10 cents an hour, and sell coal at the same price, and do as much as break even financially.
 It was also stated this morning that certain local factories are ever on the alert to secure labor of any sort and men are engaged who do nothing else than go around the city accosting men who appear to be idle, asking them if they do not want to work and mak- ing every effort to get them to take jobs in their respective factories.

WAS ORIGINAL OZARK HORSE
to Have a Place in American
ParIance.

The dark horse" in politics is the
successor of a genuine dark horse that
won q race in which he was supposed
to have no chance for victory. In early
days in Tennessee there was an old
man named Sam Flynn, a very good
judge of horseflesh, who usually owned
an animal that could show a bit of
speed. At one time Mr.. Flynn pos
sessed big black horse named Dusky
| Pete, a thoroughbred and very fast.
1t was Flynn's practice to go to a
neighborhood where he was not known,
ride Dusky Pete into town as if he
were an ordinary mount and enter him
in one of the races that were the daily
sport of the frontier communities.
| Dusky Pete always won.
Mr.. Flynn arrived at one town just
before big race and entered his horse
as usual. There were several local
favorites in the contest and Mr.. Flynn
had no trouble in betting all his money
on his own horse at long odds. Just
before the race, Judge McMinamee. a
turf follower, arrived and was per-
suaded TO act as judge of tlfs contest.
| Some of the horsemen described the
various entries and laughingly pointed
out the foolish stranger who had bet
all his money on his old nag. Judge
McMinamee at once recognized Dusky
Pete and his owner and remarked :
Gentlemen, there's a dark horse in
this race that will make some of you
sick before night"
Judge McMinamee's prediction was
fulfilled, and dark horse" as a byword
has found a permanent place in the
parlance of American politics.-Peo
