employed to run the mines are whose jobs are
dependent on the satisfaction and order of pro-

the disorders that are a constant nightmare to
stockholders and managers alike.
The idea that they are the cause OF lawless-

Editor World: In your issue of September 10.

Atlanta, Ga.-That love is blind has
just been proved in police court here
when a blind man, his blind wife, and
her alleged affinity, blind also, were
arraigned for trial following a battle
royal between the two men, after the
husband had come home unexpectedly.
Martin StrOne, the husband, told the
recorder that while peddling religious
tracts in the streets friend had warn
ed him that a rival was paying court
to his wife and that he had better 60
home.
On his arrival there he said he found
Sam Stewart enjoying a chat with the
wife. Then the fight started. Most Of
the furniture in the room was wrecked,
but the combatants suffered less in
jury, due to their inability to get at
each other properly.

Man Drops Into Six Feet of Water;
Breaks Nothing but High Diving

San Francisco.-Instead of being

a drop Of $50 feet into only six feet
of water and broke nothing other than
the record, if that. 49,
There is bucket swung on a fall
that carries out Of the Hetch Hetchy
dam pit to the cliff side, and iii which
it has been the practice of workmen
to make the trip down from cliff to
pit, as the empty is returning. John
was making this ride.
The bucket got tangled in a guy wire
and, Of course, tilted. Before it could
clear and right itself, John was spilled
and sliding down an air current.
He hit the water either head first or
feet first. No one knows, John least of

pick up the remains John blinked,
shook his head and told the boys to get
back to work or he'd mark them up for

Rfverhead, L. 1.-The eastern Long
Island farmer seems to be a critical
fellow
s Just because he cannot use a piano
to raise potatoes-there is no sort of
aftiliation, apparently, between music
and potato growing-the farmer re-
fuses to pay as much for the piano as
he via for blind horse. " 49,.

Gently astonished the countryside when
he got the farmers tumbling all oyer
themselves to bid in a blind horse 1T
$3.50 and loose hay for the sensational
price Of $50 ton. He sort of reasoned
that if a blind horse was worth that
much grand piano that could make
jazz music without much effort ought
to bring around $500.
But the farmers fooled him this time.
In spite Of all his coaxing, in spite of
all his claims that Paderewski would
be glad to have this instrument, it was
knocked down for $3.50. .

Architects have drawn specifications
for buildings to rival the tallest in New

followed dream in which 81. M. Jes-

an automobile trip to Sioux City. De-
tanned by farm chores, he followed the
car by train and arrived in Sioux City
before his family did. Sitting in the
lobby of hotel, he dreamed Of the
fatal accident.
Awakening, he frantically waved
his arms and opened and closed his
mouth, but could not speak. When his
family arrived they said their car had
stalled on a North Western track, and
a train came within a few inches of
the car before it stopped, narrowly
averting fatal crash.
