STRIKERS DISPERSED BY
 SOLDIERS IN ILLINOIS

TAYLORSVILLE, Ill.-Coal miners who desire to accept the reduced wage scale recently approved by officials of the Union Mine Workers and who have been prevented from doing SO by the striking contingent of the coal fields, were enabled to enter the mines hereabout yesterday under the protection of the State militia, and many of them took advantage of the opportunity to get on the payroll again, willing to accept $5 per day.
 Tickets of the new mine union, who have been stationed along all roads leading to the mines, were driven from their posts by use of tear gas and smoke bombs. Machine guns also were mounted, ready for action in the event of serious trouble with the strikers. But there was no re- sistance beyond jeering the troopsaas they marched through the streets driving the pickets to cover.

maybe, if we'd let the big,
strong river of experience come
flooding in?
Suppose the flood had really
crept into that little, low cabin

What then? Frightened them
most to death, of course. But
in the end it would have done
them a powerful sight of good.
Then they all would have
had to move on into a new
home, away from the vermln
and the sickness and the filth.
They would have had to begin
life all over again, taking new
chances, finding new youth.
Floods are bad to look at, but
good to have, many a time:
Suppose we should let the

new adventures, new chances;
breaking our hearts, maybe, but
giving us new hearts in their
place?
What great thing that
would be!
But we won't let it; not if
we can help it!
Even the thought of begin
