Small. but Warj1ke

The African pigmies are fierce and
warlike. and each little fighting man
carries at his belt a bottle of poison
(for arrows) so deadly that the slight
est wound from weapon envenomed
with 1t will kill man. Colonel Roose-
welt, while on his famous hunting trip,
sent some of these arrows to the Smith
sonian institution, with tag attached
suggesting carefulness in handling
them.
These dwarfs build dome-shaped
houses in a circle, the chiefs resi-

of 100 yards from the village a sentry
box big enough to hold two little men
is placed on every path, with a door
way looking up the trail.

Watering Wages"
[From the Altoona Mirror


There seems to be a general mis-
conception of what the coal miners
want. 1t does not appear that in
demanding six-hour day. five davs
a week, the miners are really bent
on working only thirty hours a.
week. Even coal mining. arduous
and disagreeable as it is, is endur-
able to the ordinary worker for a
longer period than five or six hours
a day.
What the miners want ia mora
pay-a great deal more. The sly
hour day or thirty-hour veelr 10
meant only as the basis for estimat.
ing wages.
1t is said that the miners exnect
TO put in good deal of overtime
Starting with a sixty per cent. wage
increase for days work. shorten
ing that day to six hours. and then
starting in on overtime paw for an
extra hour or two a day and sew
eral hours on Saturday, it is easv
enough to see that the miners could
easily more than double their earn
ings.
This is what a New York paper
calls watering wages" There is no
more excuse for watering wages
than for watering stock. The miners
doubtless deserve better paw. and

but they should not try to get it on

A judicial inquiry, which is so far
being kept secret by the police, is
now taking place with reference to
the necklace of the Empress Marie
Louise, second wife of Napoleon I.
This necklace, valued at one mil
lion dollars. was presented by Ma
poleon to the empress on the birth
of the King of Rome, and remained
in the possession of the imperial
court of Austria. The attempt to
dispose of it makes a strange and
interesting story, which goes back to
the beginning of 1914. At that time
the Austrian court was keenly in
terested in the movement in Portu-
gal for restoring King Manuel to his
throne. The late Emperor Francis
Joseph was anxious to help the par
tisans of this movement, and when
the question of monetary support
arose, he is credited with having
conceived the dea of selling a num-
ber of crown jewels, including the
collection which belonged to the
Empress Marie Louise.
Those who had the sale of the
Jewels in hand got into touch with
Va 1iASh pOoltIOn IN
Paris. This lady was counseled to
act with great circumspection. The
sale, If effected, had to be kept Sc
cret, and in order that news of the
transaction should not leak out she
was enjoined not to sign any docu-
ments or give receipt for the
money received. A casket of Jewels
including the necklace of the EN-
press Marie Louise, arrived in Paris
and the lady invited a French dia-
mond merchant to interest himself
IN hndlng purchaser. 1t was
round, however, that the persons
approached were not anxious TO nav
one million dollars for the necklace
and that, indeed, they were NOT
greatly interested in it. But a GER
tain number of other jewels in the
casket were disposed of, and the
money was handed to the lady. who
acted as intermediary between the
court of Austria and the DIAMOND
merchant.
The affair now has become public
as a result of this lady institutine
proceedings against the diamond
dealer, alleging he has kept mart
OF the proceeds of the sale. The

be needed during the next year or
two, and just as Pennsylvania pre-
pares to receive its guests, will their
number increase and the fame OF
the State spread. There is no more
picturesque route imaginable than
the William Penn Highway skirting
the Juniata river-the Blue Junl-
ata." 1t traverses the famous old
turnpike constructed in the Revolu-
tionary period and with the surfac-
ing of this roadway permanent re-
suits are assured. Stretches OF the
William Penn road already have
been completed under the Sproul
system, but there are still links in
this famous highway which must
be put in shape before it can be
to outside visitors, VINO
will come in large numbers next year
and the year thereafter.
Commissioner Sadler and those
associated with him in doing this
great work are losing no time in
forcing along the program which
was outlined months ago. They en-

The SWord of Days

Days are a sword with which to
strike,
lays are glory of hope and
chance:
Days are spear with which to
pierce
The gargoyles of hfe's high ro-
nance;
Days are a sword, a shining blade,
A silver blade of flashing light
on. with the falchion drawn and
swung
In the great cause of human right!
Out with the petty cark and cry
OF good days these or bad days
those!
Days are a dream dropped from the
sky,
Days are a garden of the rose;
Days are highway stern and fine
Up to the hills and over and on;
Days are a sword of light divine,
Draped with the gospel of the dawn.
Days are a deed in one rapt hour
OF lofty and luminous will and
force,
Bringing the sky-bOrn hopes to
flower,
Guiding great dreams upon their
course,
Upward and onward, with great
hearts set
Firmly and forward-days are such
things
AS ages of ages shall not forget,
Nor the high pride of dust-blown
kings.
Days are gift with which to make
Old fashions into burning fate;
Days are a thunder with which to
shake
The sleepe~s to action at life's green
gate;
DAYS are sword to have and
swing
In the great purpose and to bear
Forth to the files that fighting sing
Out of the silence and the care.
