I am tired of being hunted like a dog and being driven from place to place. I stood on a bill on Fri day and saw the funeral of my mother and brother." Oneida Trouble Settled. Oneida miners returned to work this morning, the differences between them and Coxe Bros, it Co.'s superintendents having been adjusted by the revokal of the order compelling tho men to repori before 0 a. m. in order to be lowered down the slope. The determined stand taken by the locked-out employes attracted the at tention of persons who have more inter est in maintaining harmony betwoen miners and operators than tho clique at Drifton, aud a curt notice from the an thracite powers, commanding the com pany to live up to the spirit and letter of its posted notices, brought about a sudden change in the demeanor of the pompous figure-heads who think thoy are superintendening Coxe Bros. & Co.'s coal affairs.

Membership Embraces Many Persons of National Repu tation lnitiation Fee Is Eleven Cents. Are you a Buffalo? Perhaps you haven't heard of the new order that recently struck this town and numbers Its members by thrdozens. To learn the mysteries of this far-famed order it costs eleven cents —and some over. This Is how it 19 done: One of your friends meets you on the street and' inquires, "Are you a Buffalo?" Of course you are not, and tell him so. Then yotir troubles have just begun. Ho replies, "Well, give me eleven cents, and I will iuitiate you." You suspicion a "sell'" at once and decline, but he assures you it is all right, and you make the contribution. Then he prececds to make you a Buf falo. You are given the grand hailing sign, and the answer; next comes the grip; then follows the admonition in regard to what you do on certain oc casions. You are next taken into some place of business and given a practice lesson. If you have been attentive dur ing the initiation service, you get along in shape and see where your eleven cents goes to, but if you have been careless and did not observe the in structions of the Buffalo, you are greet ed with a general invitation to "Buy, buy, buy." There is .nothing else left for you to , do but to purchase anything the com pany wants. After having satisfactori ly passed this test, you are greeted as a full-fledged Buffalo, and informed that you are entitled to the best to be had. The initiation is on the "quick-lunch" plan, and it bars no one that is out of jail or the cemetery, who can raise eleven cents or more. This is the only requirement, and it is here that the joke comes in. For the prospective candi date seldom has the exact amount, and tenders anywhere from a quarter to twenty dollars when asked for his fee, with the result that he is out just that amount, being blandly told that "Buffa loes never give change." This merry form of hold-up has made "Buffaloes" out of nine-tenths of the United States senate, almost all the lower house, and successfully on no less than seven governors, one of whom, Dietrich, of Nebraska, paid 820 to learn the cardinal principle regarding change. No less a personage than Vice President Roosevelt fell a victim to the wiles of a member desirous of getting square, and the strenuous-lived Teddy was buncoed to the extent of 85 on the day of his inauguration by a Chicago politi cian who had been previously "buffalo ed." Andrew Carnegie was caught in it to the extent of a silver dollar, as was also John D. Rockafellor, who separated himself from a quarter to learn the mystic secret of the order. Separate Union for Firemen. The International Brotherhood of Sta tionary Firemen has decidod that the firemen employed at the mines are not compelled to join the United Mine Work ers, but belong to the Firemen's Union. Tho union has ordered all who joined the miners' organization to resign, and to pay no heed to any attempt of the miners to get them into their union. This division pleases tho operators, as the firemon will not be compelled to strike with the miners. A Itoyal Photographer. The German empress is an exception ally skillful amateur photographer, and she has a most Interesting collection of pictures. The empress takes snap shots at the court festivities, and she lias se cured a photograph of the crown prince when he appeared for the first time on parade as a full officer of the guards. Also a Character. The sliali of Persia is a great cari caturist. The walls of his private apartments are covered with plain white paper, and on this he scribbles funny pictures whenever the fancy takes him. When he grows tired of them, they are washed off or the room Is repapered. YQU will waste time if you try to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by starving yourself. Thatonlv makes it worse when you do eat heartily. You always need plenty of good food propeyly digested. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the result of years of scientific research for something that would digest not only some elements of food but every kind." And it is tho one remedy that will do It.
