Insult to Gobblerhood.
A Denton man is forcing a gobbler
to do the "settin' " by keeping him
drunk on corn soaked in lieker. De
spite the necessity which seeins to
compel the owner to employ these
unusual methods, we unhesitatingly
declare the proceeding an outrage and
an insult to the bird's gobblerhood.—
Houston Post.
Not Nervous.
"Ha!" they exclaimed, "you are ner
vous." The accused party bristled.
"Why do you say that?" he inquired.
"Because you continually twiddle
your fingers and keep moving your
feet up and down. That means ner
vousness." "Nonsense," retorted the
accused party, "I can stop it —if I try."
And he wondered why they laughed.
Cats as Art Models.
The strange inscrutability of the eat

defied the painter or broken his heart.

Human.
The young man, leading a dog by a
string, lounged up to the ticket office
of a railway station and inquired:
"Must I—aw—take a ticket for a
puppy?" "No; you can travel as an
ordinary passenger," was the reply.
—Universalist Leader.
Detective Work.
"I want a detective," roared the ex

on in front of our home, and if you
don't send me a detective who is
capable of finding a policeman quick
there'll be trouble."—London Globe.

CAR STRIKE IS SETTLED
IVIOTORMEN AND CONDUCTORS TO
RECEIVE 22 CENTS AN HOUR.
"Swing System'' Is Abolished and Ten
Hours Will Constitute a Day's Work
for Philadelphia Street Car Men.
Philadephia, Pa.—"The strike lias
been settled. The men will receive
22 cents an hour and 10 hours
will constitute a day's work." This
statement, emanating from C. O. Pratt,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employes, the leader
of the striking motormen and conduc
tors, followed by the deportation of
the 450 strike breakers who came here
from New York, ends the strike of the
employes of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Co. The men go back to work
immediately.
The termination of the trouble be
tween the company and its employes
was brought about primarily by State
Senator James P. MeNichol, the Re
publican leader of this city, at confer
ences with I lie traction officials and
the strikers' representatives. These
conferences were followed by addition
al meetings. The delegates chosen
by the strikers met Pratt later in the
day and discussed, the proposition
which had been made by the traction
people. Some of the delegates insist
ed upon 25 cents per hour, while others
thought 22 cents an hour and a 10-
hour day was a fair compromise.
After being in session nearly all day
the men agreed to accept 22 cents an
hour. The old "swing system" lias
been abolished; 10 hours will consti
tute a day's work; all employes will
bo permitted to purchase their uni
forms in the open market; all future
differences are to be adjusted between
the company and a grievance commit
tee chosen by the employes. If. after
an investigation by the city controller
of the books of the company, it can
be shown that more than 22 cents an
hpur can be paid without crippling the
finances of the Rapid Transit Co., then
the men will insist upon a further ad
vance in wages.
TRADE CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Increased Orders, Expanding Produc
tion, Higher Prices and Wages
Shown in Iron and Steel.
New York City.—R. (1. Dtin & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Every test by which trade conditions
are determined records improvement.
In the iron and steel trade the prog
ress made is, indeed, extraordinary,
and again does this branch of industry
give a signal proof of its power to rise
out of the depths of the depression
with wonderful rapidity. Increased or
ders, expanding production, higher
prices and wages, and in some lines
records approaching even the high
figures before the panic—such are the
reports that now come from the trade
every week.
Thus the recent progress making
toward full business recovery in the
United States is most notable, and
it is facilitated by favoring financial
conditions. The effects of the late
crisis are still to be seen in the large
volume of commercial defaults, al
though this seems a passing condition,
as the aggregate of these in May was
the smallest of any month of this
year. Business world moves ahead re
gardless of tariff and crop uncertainties
WOODEN STEAMER DESTROYED
