! HER POINT OF VIEW
TAVO IMPORTANT evidences of a
stilke hae been noted by housf
wies in eiry part of the elt
One was a sudden and pen adlng Isi
tatlon of tiamps, tho other, kitchen
maids in seal eh of places.
One huge indlsidual with a veiy
beeiy hieath came the Hist moiuing
after a strike was ordered and caused
moi e or less eonstei nation at back
doois. "Po got to stilke," he ex
plained. "I don't want to unci am
eiazy to get wmk, but I didn't dnie
keep on In the mines. One fellow
hiitn't much of a phow, you know, agin
sov'ral hundred, Kvery other wan of
'em wnnted to strike, only me. I'm
crazy for work and I've got' a wife and
poven children and nothing to eat since
Saturday. 'Y'know they shut down
tho down tho mines Saturday. Can't
y' give mo a little bronkfnst? I'm tor
I'blc hungiy and I'd like a few bites
to tako home to the woman."
Of course there were eager nnd wilt
ing hands to minister to the poor miner
nnd nfter ho had filled himself nnd his
pockets, ho suddenly developed a desire
to hasten away ns fast ns possible.
"I'm Just crazy for work," he hur
iledly rcmaiked and I was meanln' to
nsk If y' didn't want wood chopped or
something, or y'r grass cut- It needs
It but I'd fergot an Important engage
ment to go to a meeting with nnother
man. So If y'll excuso me I'll come
back tomorrow nnd see about tho
wood, If I only had five cents to buy
a bit of sugar"
The "mlnei" disappeared 'lound tho
comer with alacrity and tho five cents
and tho domestic outfit of that kit
chen are still looking for him to re
turn to chop wood.
"Queer wasn't It 7" rcmaiked one of
the maids, reflectively. "Tho strike
had only begun that very day nnd ot
ho was so hungry."
"I've been tluotigh thiee strikes,"
said a neat-looking woman the other
dny, as she stood at tho door ot her
home. She was tho wife of a miner
and she lived in a little black house
not fnr fiom a breaker. "I'le in come
In," slm was saying polltel. "Our
house doesn't look oiy nice outside,
but It's different when ou got In.
It's really home-like and we are happy
heie."
And home-like it was, those thiee
ptetty looms, neat and clean, ns much
M'Uibbing of windows and dusting
could make them; biuscls caipet on
two Doors, handsome, substantial fur
niture: pictures on the walls, spotless
cm tains nt the windows; such taste
ful "homey" looms they were.
"They get such fearful plctuies In
the papeis of the poor mlnets' homes,"
she added, as her husband came out
to second her Invitation to entet,
"thnt we like to have folks see how
things look fiom the Inside. My man
don't di ink and he Just stays in the-o
days wh"n the strike is on and helps
fix up the house," and she pioudly
pointed to many neatly contrived con
cnlenees In the tlnv kitchen and
about the yaid, while the husband
looked on w 1th a glow of honest pleas
ure nt her words. "She's a good
wife," he said btiefly. "She can get
on when we have good times nnd
when wo have poor. If all the miners
had such wives, maybe there wouldn't
be strike.?. Too many of 'cm gad
mound and talk the miv long, nnd
their men don't want to staj home and
make the best of what comes. This
is our house and we own some lnnl
besides," he concluded.
"Yes, l'e ben tluotigh three
stilkes," the wife lepented, "and no
woman who's been tlnough any wants
another. I tell you, they'to haul on
the women and children. I've seen
'em still vlng befote this, and it's now
that 1 think theie'II be many to staivo
this time, unless It's soon oci Some
ot the miners have sue h haul Jobs that
It uses up powdei and some of 'em go
to the saloon and whichever way It Is,
It's bad for the women and ehlldien,
never knowlrg whetliei the men who
go out to theh shift v ill eomo back
alive."
Theie arc some queer sUhts nnw-n-days
which .11 e the result of tb(. stilke.
Yosteidav a man enteied the ti.iin
with a cheap telescope bag and drop
ped apathetically Into a sent. looking
out of tho window with tho stolid,
unseeing gaze of his laco. He was a
Hun, with the heavy jaw, the dull
eyes, tho sallow skin and the low
luow often seen In thj mining subuibs
of this city and occasionally in the
stuet cm 3. He had llitle gold lioops
In his ems and woie a deiby ). of
unc lent lineage.
.Inst b foie the 'lain stinted, an
other Huugaiiaii huiricd into the (al
and Dung himself upon the neck of
the Hist. They sat theie, 1 lose in cm h
others enibiaee, for scveial moments
and then solemn!), their stolid faces
tinnsflgmed with giief, the two men
kissed each other, te.us falling ovei
their lough gaib and theii powdei -stained
li'inds. The cinlnokeis icad til
pathetic little stoi v , and not one on
that car will ever again look upon
these dnik-skinned strangeis within
our gates with the inelffeience and,
pet haps, aversion hlttheito cntci
taimd. All, well; who Knows and who can
tell when so much is light and so
much Is wiong, just how to tkteimlne
the only good way to settle the gieat
disputes between capital and labor
Life Is a struggle at best for most of
us, whether It Is beneath the giouud
for bread, whether above it for so
cial or business supiemac), or whether
It is in the eft oit to teach a place
wheic puiet thoughts, noble work and
simpler faith may cniich the lestless
spit it It will probably be onl) when
the miner and the mine owner and all
the icst of us have gone into a veiy
naiiou chamber below the tutf, from
whence we cannot again step fenth to
look upon the sunshine and the stais,
that for us nil the struggle will

"Fifteen years ago I had to give up business on account of poor health. I was
suffering from a numbsr of old dironic diseases and had complete nervous pros
tration. In 1891 I commenced taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon found
that I was getting the better of my complaints. I continued using it until I was
restored to good health. Believing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, 1 take the Compound in the spring and fall, and it keeps me well.
Paine's Celery Compound has made almost a new man of me, and I have gained
twenty-eight pounds of good solid flesh and blood, thanks to its use.''
