ers to get them to sign a document
that they would go back to work"
Mother Jones went there. The
only hotel in Arnot, where she got
a room, was owned by the coal com
pany and after her first meeting with
the miners she was asked to leave
it. She went to a friends house, also
company owned, and for allowing
Mother Jones to sleep here the whole
family was put out.
1.-THE family gathered up all their
earthly belongings, which weren't
much, took down all the holy pic
lures and put them in a wagon and
they with all their neighbors, went to
the meeting. The sight of that wa
gon with the sticks of furniture and
the holy pictures and the children,
with the father and mother and my
self walking along thru the streets
turned the tide. 1t made men so
angry that they decided not to go
hack thatamorning to the mines. In
stead they : came to the meeting
where they determined not to give up
the strike until they had won the
victory. Then the company tried to
bring in scabs."
Knowing she would be arrested,
Mother Jones did not go to the mines
with an army of women she had or
ganized-an army with "mops and
brooms" to charge the scabs.
Il selected as leader an Irish wo-
man who had most picturesque ap-
pearance. She had slept late and
her husband had told her to hurry
up and get into the army. She had
grabbed a red petticoat and slipped 1t
over a thick cotton nightgown. She
wore a black stocking and white
one. She had tied little red figured
shawl over her wild red hair. Her
face was red and her eyes were mad,
looked at her and felt she could
raise rumpus.
up the mountain side, yelling and
hollering, she led the women, and
when the mules came up with the
scabs and the coal, she began beat
ing on the dishpan and hollering and
all the army joined in with her. The
sheriff tapped her on the shoulder 8
"My dear lady, said he, 'remem-
Der the. mules. Don't brighten them.
'She took the old tin pan and she
hit him with it and she hollered, TO
hell with you and the mules!'
"He fell over and dropped into the
creek. Then the mules began to re-
bel against scabbing. They bucked
and kicked the scab drivers and start
ed off for the barn. The scabs started
running down hill, followed by the
army of women with their mops and
pals and brooms.
"a poll parrot in a nearby shack
screamed at the superintendent, Got
hell, did you? Got hell?"
So Mother Jones then talked to the
farmers and she talked to the Swedes,
whom the company tried to use
against the miners-and the miners
held out and the strike was finally
won with all demands conceded.
"'Did you get the use Of the hall
for us to hold meetings? said the
women.
"'No, we didn't ask for that
"'Then the strike is on again. said

They got the hall. and the

DRUSE DEATH
SENTENCE

A MONG the Druses there IS
n no crime comparable with
cowardice. Bravery, courage in
battle, is the mark of the true
man. And the member Of the
tribe who Is guilty of cowardice
must die.
But the sentence is not passed
upon him by a judge in a court
room. The important moments
in the lives of the bruises occur
over the cups of coffee which
mark ell ceremonies.
The drinking of coffee is in
itself q ceremony. The nipple
ments for making the coffee are
most complicated. If the host
wishes to honor his guest par
ticularly he makes the coffee
himself. The guests sit in a
circle on the floor, for the only
furnishings of the room are
grass mats and cushions on the
stone divans.
When a man proves himself a
coward in battle nothing is said
to him Immediately thereafter.
But the next time the warriors
sit in their circle to drink their
coffee the host, in handing the
marked man his coffee, spills the
contents of the cup over his
clothes. Nothing more Is said
but the man must die in the next
battle
The life of the Druses is
chiefly a matter of battles. Boys
are trained to handle revolvers
and rifles at an age when we
would hesitate to give our boys
toy revolvers. At thirteen they
are seasoned warriors.
But their explanation of this
fact is simple. They are not
afraid to die, because they are
taught that when they die their
souls pass Immediately into the
bodies of a newborn Druse baby.
There is no period of waiting
and no chance of coming into the
world again as an animal. They
simply continue life in another
body.
The boys wear long braids and
have their finger tips hennaed.
Their eyes are heavily black.

of death.
The women. of the Druses are
still secluded in harenls. and
they are watched with the ut
most vigilance. They are ar
ways yelled heavily and wear
long. full skirts and large shawls,
Bracelets cover their arms. and

Helping Your Child to
Beat Handicap

At last a big tennis tournament
was announced. Harvey's father
arranged for the boy to enter the
contest and then encouraged him
to practice without ceasing. And
Harvey won.
After that he lost sight of his
physical condition to q great ex.
tent, He was no longer the in
ferior Of other boys. He was a
champion. That did more to re-
store his self.confidence and his
high spirits than anything else
could have done.
There are many children strug-
Ainr under the burden of some
physical defect. They are not
only suffering physically. but
their very souls are bowed down
in humiliation. But for almost
every affliction there is a CORE
aponding compensation. There
is some one special thing in which
that child could excel and thus
stand out as a winner among
his school mates
All the poor youngster needs
is an intelligent friend to help
him find the particular thing In
which he should specialize. 1t
NAV be some branch of study: it
may be a parlor game; it may be
music; it may be candy making:
it may be some kind of art work:
II may be an outdoor sport: 1t
may be dramatics or elocution: it
may be mechanical achievements
It depends upon the native ability
and the peculiar form OF the
child's affliction.
Just think what it will mean to
the EGO of that child to be re-
stored by his own accomplishment
to a high place among his fel-
lows. Hope and joy and regard
for ones self are big factors in
the building of character and in
the carving of ones future. They
are the exact opposite Of the
sense Of inferiority which bows
the heads and the hearts of the
poor youngsters who are under a
physical handicap. Help them
throw 1t off.

Do realize that there are

After this massage rub q piece

Finally. massage the skin under

foot cream each night.
To massage your feet, rub the
cream thoroughly into them. Rub
up each toe to the ankles as you do

your hand. Work along the sole
with one hand and the instep with
the other.

and stimulate the muscles Of yoar
