Sunday trains are now the fashion
and so the E. & W. V R. Rl fall into
line nnd run two trains each way ev
ery Sunday The worklngmen claim
they must have a day to rest in nnd
consequently they make the railroad
companies force their employee to
work on Sunday when they themselves
want to rest. Athough It may be nice
for the worklngmen from Scranton to
come out here and spend a quiet day,
It Is not so nice for our men, who
must work all the week and then Sun
day, when they wish to rest, they must
work harder than any day In the
week to help take care of the crowds
who came cut here for rest. And then
If tho worklngmen come tho riff-raff

SIMPLY SMILED.
The Bed Men Were Not as Stupid as
They Looked.
Three full-blooded Indians sat under
the awning covering the main deck
forward of one of the steamboats go
ing down the river last Sunday after
noon. Two of them were bucks, ap
parently about thirty years old but an
Indian's age Is hard even to approxi
mateand the other was an old man.
All three of them were neatly and
quietly dressed In dark clothes, and
they all paid strict attention to their
own business, talking Indian, that
sounded a good deal like Chinese, to
each other.
Two funny young men, accompanied
by a pair of giggly young women, took
camp chairs directly In the rear of the
Indians. They all thought the guttural
grunts of the three Indians very amus
ing Indeed, and the two funny young
men got off a fair Imitation of the In
dians' talk.
"You wouldn't think, girls, would
you, that those fellows are so devil
ish?" said one of the funny young men,
In a voice that could be heard all over
the deck, nodding In the direction of
the Indians. "Bad bunch, though. As
lief stick a knife Into you as look at
you. They get a suit o' duds and come
on here to see the Great Spirit with
a lot o" kicks they have piled up, and
then they go back to their tepees, put
on their old blankets and wait for
white folks to pass by so's they can
throw hatchets at 'em. Bad bunch, I'm
a-telllng you."
"That's what," chimed In the other
funny young man. "Wouldn't be a bit
surprised If they'd tear loose right
now "
"Gracious me!" exclaimed the two
young women.
" tear loose right and slaughter
and scalp every one in sight. Who was
the duck that said "Tho only good In
jun's a dead Injun?" Knew his gait
all right, whoever ho was. Just hear
'em grunt. Making It up, I'll bet a
dollar, to scuttle tho boat and carry
all hands to the bottom. Just like In
dians to do to a thing like that, any
how." "Goodness gracious!" exclaimed the
two young women.
"Government ought to round the
whole caboodle of 'em up and choloro
form 'em, that's what," said the first
funny young man. "Outrage to let 'em
run around loose. If I had my way"
"Sh-sh-sh!" warned the two young
women. "They'll hear you."
"Hear nothing," said the first funny
young man. "They don't know Kng
lish."
Just then the waiter passed along
the deck. One of the bucks beckoned
to the vvafter with his finger. When
the waiter got close to him the buck
asked of his two companions:
"What'll you take?"
"I think I'll have a glass of sarsa
parllla," said the old Indian
"I want a seltzer lemonade," said
tho other buck.
"Walter, just bring a sarsaparllla
and two seltzer lemonades," said the
first buck.
The two funny young men and the
two giggly young women took this in
with open mouths. When the waiter
had gone, said one of the funny young
men:
"Say, the music's playing on the
back part of the boat. Let's go back
there, hey?"
And they went, tho three Indians
looking at each other and smiled com
placently. COAL BRIQUETTES.
Coal brlouettes nre made very extern,
nlvely and used In Germany, Franco,
Russia and Belgium, In Germany a larsa
part of the output of brown coal, which
Is too friable to stand handling, Is utilized
In this way. In the United States very
little has been done In this line. A fac.
tory for making briquettes from anthra
cite coal dust was put up ut Itondout, N.
V., about llfteen years ago, but It did not
rrovo a paying business and was aban
doned. About a year ago a plant for making
briquettes (rem Texas lignite was built
by Bteln & Boerlcke, of Philadelphia. The
reason why briquettes are not made In
this country teem to be puroly commer
cial, The manufacture Is not prontaole
as long as good coal sells at present
prices. In some parts of the country, as
on the Pacific coast, where coal Is hlsh
In price, they might be Introduced with
advantage.
