Why Strike Collapsed.

Two telegraph operators worked In
the office of the Milwaukee Free Press.
Both were employed by the press as
ISOLATION and not by the paper. They
came soused one Sunday night, de-
cided to strike, making demands for
more pay and shorter hours from the
managing editor Of the newspaper.
They were told to make their petition
to their employers. The telegraphers
retired for council of war, put the
strike into effect and decided to picket
the Office. The Office had but one en-
trance, but there must be strategy /;
so one of the strikers posted himself
directly in front Of the Office and the
other around the corner, the two be-
ing out of sight of each other.
Then each had the same bunch of
getting another drink. They left their
posts and that was the end of the
strike. Other operators were called IN
and the wires buZzed merrily on
Pep.

BORN OF EMPRESS DREAM
Persian Legend Concerning the Design
and Construction Of the Beau
tiful Tai Mahal.

A beautiful story. which Is not gen.
orally known. of the creation of the
Tai Mahal is hidden away in the
pages of the Persian manuscripts. The
emperor wished to commemorate his
undying devotion and esteem for his
beloved consort. but nothing satisfied
his ambition, until one day Arjumand
told him that In dream she had seen
the nobest and most perfect of
monuments, which If actualized, would
be unparalleled In the whole world for
its matchless beauty. The emperor
sent for experts from all over the en-
pire and commanded them to design the
architecture of the dream. They la
bored To no effect; they could not Wis
ualize the dream. At last one day an
old venerable Pr ascetic presented
himself, who said: 81 can help you to
obtain what you seek"
He then presented mysterious POI
ton to one of the architects, before
whose dazed eyes the lovely monument
in all its glory was revealed. The
magic of the potion lasted while he
drew the plan in all its detail, then
he fell back exhausted. The empress,
seeing the design of her vision real
lied, was full of JOY and the emperor
at once set to work TO have this edifice
constructed. The impOssibility Of lay
ing a firm foundation next presented
itself. The swampy character of the
banks of the silvery Jumna made 1t
impossible to erect any construction
that would stand, until. In another
dream, 1t was revealed that the basis
must be of silver. Today the Tai
stands, like an ethereal drop of flaw
less pearl, on its foundation of solid
silver-breathing forth the poetry of
its conception:
''Sweeter to rest together dead.
Far sweeter than to live asunder."

First MaIleable Platinum.

The first veritable platinum ingot
was made by a French chemist. Ca
baneau, in 1888. Charles III of Spain
had called him to Madrid and created
a special chair Of mineralogy, physics
and chemistry for him. In his labora-
tory he found the secret of rendering
the new metal malleabe, and this is
the way he revealed the fact to one
of his patrons: "Three months later,
at the home of the Count of Amanda,
there appeared upon table an ingot
some 10 centimeters cube (about four
inches), with beautiful metallic lus-
ter; II was malleable platlnum."--New
York Herald.

Havana,s Hiqh- Sounding Name.

The full name Of the capital Of
Cuba is San Christobal de In Habana.
Tn 1894 royal decree conferred upon
the city the sounding title. "Llave del

Key Of the New World and Bulwark
of the West Indies" In emphasis,
the coat-of-arms Of the municipality
bears symbolic key and representa-
tions of the fortresses of Moro, Punta

Sensible View of Health.

If sound mind and rational habits
do so much to keep the body sound,
and If nature unaided can cure most
of our durable ills, life is falrer deal
for all of us than it has sometimes
seemed. OF course. it Is not so easy
as 1t sounds TO put fear and worry,
narrowing love affairs and destructive
emotiOns-hatred and envy-Out Of
mind. But If this is done we must do
II ourselves. Doctors cannot do it for
us, and realization that the matter of
health Is largely in our own hands
must contribute to the wiser ordering
of life.-Chicago Daily News.
