DONKEYS FIGURE IN HISTORY
Merits Of Patient Creatures Have
Been Sung by Poets and Depicted
by Painters.

The common or garden donkey is
one Of the most laughed-at animals,
and few of us pause to think what "A
figure this stubborn but patient crea-
ture has made in literature, art, and
history. The very lirst picture me
visitor TO the London National gallery
sees as he enters the building Is a
beautifully painted ass upon which
the Virgin sits with her Infant son. II
is Holman Hunts Triumph of the IN

into n proverb of the foolish Instruct

Golden ass Of Apuleius, n romance #

dead donkey which he has immortal

CHAPTER XVII
The BEGINNING Of the End

However much the Hatch peoplp
may have wanted to avoid publicity
regarding the change of ownership
and policies in the Storage q Ware
house reorganization, the prompt an
nouncement Of Il general strike of the
employees was enough To make every
newspaper in the state sit up and take
notice.
We had the Mountaineer AT the
breakfast-table I'm the club grill-room
on the morning of the day when the
strike was advertised TO go into effect
There was a new story, with big
headlines in red ink. and also an
editorial. Cantrell didn't say anything
against the railroad company. His
comments were those of an observer
who wished TO be straightforward and
fair TO all concerned. but his edi-
torial did not spare the silly local
stockholders whose swapping and sell
ing had made the coup possible.

Suspends Insurance Certificate.

Cheyenne, WyO.-State Insurance
Commissioner Don NJ. Forsyth an
nounced the revocation of the c%ertifi-
cate of authority of the National Life
Insurance Company of Vermont TO do
business in Wyoming, for the reason
that it had refused to pay the state
tax for dividends paid TO policy-hold-
ers on reduction of premiums. The
National has been carrying on its bus
mess in this state since 1896 and has
m of the largest foilowings of any OF
the big eastern concerns. Its officers
indicated today they would carry the
matter into the courts.

There was silence for a little time.
II was an awful muddle. with bloody
murder sticking out of IL on every side.
IF you have come here with the
idea that ] can force Hatch's hand. you
are very much misled." said the boss
AT the close Of the electric pause. And
then: Has he made II appear TO you
that he vas merely trying to help you
avenge your wi faDcied wrongs?"
HE said I ought TO get you; that
any man who would make love to a
married woman ought to be got"

elict and out through the darkened
window.

There were Indignation meetings held
last night in a number of the towns
along your lines. and resolutions were
passed protesting against the action
of the new combination in cutting
wages, and asserting that public senti-
ment would be with the c. S. * w.
employees if they are forced to carry
out their threat of striking at noon
today. The whisper that | spoke of
intilnated that the protest might ex-
tend TO the railroad employees"
There's nothing in it," said the boss
decisively. Il suppose you mean in
the way of a sympathetic strike. and
thar is entirely improbable. imagine
very few of the {. s. & w. employees
belong to any of the labor unions"
"A strike on the railroad would hit
you pretty hard just now, wouldn't
it," CantreIl asked.
Mr.. Norcross lodged the question.
We're not going to have a strike"
he averred and since we had finished
our breakfast, he made Il business eX-
cuse and we slid out.
When we reached the office we found
Mr.. Van Britt ON hand. reading the
morning paper.
"iOu don't get around as early as
You might was the little milliOnaire's
comment when the BOSS walked in and
opened up his desk. 1--WE been wait

a matter of a few years when the

A State COnstabulary of men who
want to enforce the law can soon rid
the country Of the bootlegger and the
moonshiner. But there should be such
safeguards in the law that will insure
the employment of men who are in sym

Wit the present en-. .orcement is that in

But 1t is all useless Prohibition is
here to stay, and it will eventually be
enforced rigidly. The United States
is too powerful to be defied by a set
of outlaws. The honor Of the nation
and its very safety is at stake. If the
Government admits that it can not en-.
force its laws 1t invites anarchy. With
an admission Of its powerlessness
every form Of crime will rebel against
the nation and a worse state than ex.
lists in Russia would be the result.
The power Of the nation, the loyalty Of
Its good citizens will not permit the
liquor outlaws to defy the nation.

ALI too frequently we hear the ex-
preston that prohibition is a failure
and that it Ia impossible to enforce
the law. In most of the cases the wish
is the father of the thought. Pro-
addition is not>a failure, as the govern
ment statistics and the data gatehred
from other sources prove. One has
only to look at the improved conditions
to see that prohibition has
worked wonders in the land, even tho
1t has not stopped the practice of
moonshining and bootlegging.
