NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With Subtlety, but
Was Satisfied That It Would Be
Thoroughly Complete.

When Alexandra Dumas, the French
novelist, was a young man, he was
grievously insulted by man whom he
had regarded as his friend.
Everyone expected him to punish the
offender severely, but instead he began
looking upon him with more consider
ation and apparent frlendllness than
he had ever shown before.
At length, three years later, when
the erstwhile friend was to be married,
the novelist was asked to serve as best
man, and did so. When the ceremony
was over and the guests were leaving
someone remarked to Dumas: II have
often wondered at your kindness to
this man. Surely yours is remark
ably forgiving nature, for although he
insulted you grossly, you have assidu-
ously studied his happiness ever since,
and even assisted him in getting mar
ried."
"Quite right" answered Dumas. II
flatter myself that I have given the
fellow the most furious and lynx-eyed
mother-in-law to be found in France"

HAS KEPT TOUCH WITH PAST
Old Tarrytown on the Hudson Refuses
to Become Part Of Modern
Hustle and Bustle.

Safely aloof from the rush and
scramble which typifes Long Island
today lies Tarrytown on the Hudson.
The solidarity and lelsurely prosperity
of Tarrytown have kept 1t from being
swept along with the stream of world
ly progress. 1t has tarried.
1t has kept its legends and traditions,
its landmarks and historic buildings.
1t still likes to look at the monument
marking the spot where Andre, the spy,
was captured. 1t likes to recall with
thrills of local pride 'The Legend Of
Sleepy Hollow" until it sees again the
headless horseman pursuing the luck
less Ichabod.
There are other specters of which
the locality can boast, notably that Of
Andre, also on horseback, who can be
heard at night riding at high speed up
the road on which he was captured. At
the fatal spot the sound Of hoofs
ceases, naturally enough, leaving the
chance hearer to scuttle home with
unseemly haste.
Night Is an excellent time to go sight
seeing in Tarrytown. There is the
Sleepy Hollow graveyard, which no WIS.,
itor would wish to miss, and which has
an additional charm when Viewed by
moonlight. There is always the posi-
bllity that some illustrious resident of
the place may come forth to take the
air and wander once again to his old
home or to the market place.

There is a wide divergence of opin-
ion expressed by the Shipbuilding Com
mission and the Fuel Commission rel
ative to wartime prohibition affecting
the labor problem. The shipbuilders
complain that prohibition of beer
would seriously affect production. and
the fuel commission brings forward
statistics to show that mines would be
benefited under bone dry regulation.
A Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune relates that the
riotous prosperity of wartime has made
saloons and drinking clubs and asso-
Citations fbound in the mining districts
and that "the miners bowl up on Sat-
urday night and Sunday, and either
put in Monday bracing up, or appear
at the mines with HJaralyzing hang
overs Besides, they resort to the
cheering bowl as occasion offers-and
it always ofFers--through the week.
The men thus not only lose much time,
but their effectiveness when they do
work is greatly impaired and they are
kept in an unsound mental condition,
which makes them callous to appeals
for their cooperation in the present
emergency. The coal miners of Amer
lea today are exhibiting only go per
cent. of an easily attained degree of
efficiency. They rarely work more
than thirty-fve hours week; many
of them do not do better than twenty
one hours week, and some are max
ing as high as $500 to $500 month.
Prosperity has trapped them and is
likely to ruin them. The saloons have
gathered around the homes of these
sons of good fortune like flies around
moasses barrel. The country is
paying big money for coal, but the re-
suit, is that the liquor dealers get the
money and the country doesn't get the
COAL"

That somebody sometimes makes big
money building roads is shown in the
two bids on Union county roads last
week, when the county court of that
county was awarded the contract for
grading 9.55 miles of the Elgin- Minam
road, and six miles of the Union-Telo-
caset section of the old Oregon Trail.
These bids were $37. .ld0 and 1877, ,4S4,
respectively, and were &c. 900 to 500, =
900 lower than the next lowest bidder
for the work. The difference is just
what the other bidders would have
grated, had not the county been in a
position to bid in the construction
work.

There are many reasons to think
that some one was murdered before
the Transfer house and the hotel in
Pendleton was burned, to wipe out
the evidences of guilt. A woman who
was carried out during the fire said she
saw man lying in a pool of blood.
The story was at first discredited. but
now it is again being made the sub
ject of inquiry. Officers are neglecting
no means that may lead to ferreting
out the fends who are RESPONSIBLE for
