FREELAND, PA., .JUNE 20. 1003. _ An Economical Man. A commercial traveler tells of a man who was riding on a train and pretend ed to become ill after eating a sand wich. The man opened his grip and took out a hot water hag. "He got a sympathetic porter," the commercial man continues, "to fill the water bag with boiling water and then he opened up his lunch basket, took out a piece of fried steak and warmed it up on the water hag. You talk about your light housekeeping! Then, after he had warmed the steak, lie cut it all up with a pair of scissors and fed it to himself with a pair of sugar tongs, because he would not take a chance with a fork going abound a curve. But his finish was afiimit After he had eaten the steak he unscrewed the stopper of the water bag and poured himself out a cup of hot coffee. He bad the grounds In the hag all the time." An Early Day Railroad Wreck. In the early days of the road there was a smash up, aud all were badly shaken up. The next morning a burly farmer limped into the superintend ent's office and said, "Mr. Superintend ent, I came in to see what you were go ing to give me for shaking me up so yesterdu}*." The superintendent asked how much he thought he ought to have for his injuries. "Well, I think it worth 50 cents, and I will settle for that." The superintendent replied that it was quite a sum, but as the man seemed honest he would pay him, and lie did so, taking his receipt in full. The su perlntendent said, "I will be liberal with you and give you a pass to take you home." "No, you won't. As long as these pins"—slapping his legs—"last I won't go on your darn railroad any more."—National Magazine. Prevention of Corns. There are suggestions without num ber for the cure of corns. Any reputa ble chiropodist and some who are not reputable can furnish an unfailing remedy. But there is one sure wuy to prevent them. Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in succession. Corns are caused by friction on the toes, and the most expert bootmaker cannot make two pairs of fehoes which will rub the feet in the same place. The change of shoes gives the feet a chance to rest. It is also good for the shoes, aud footwear which is treated in this fashion will last much longer than if put to daily use. The Crocodile, Pliny said tlie crocodile's skin "will abide any injury and not be pierced." That may have been true in ids day, but it is not true now. The bullet of a heavy modern rifle will pierce the skin anywhere unless it strikes in a slant ing direction. The crocodile is not as a rule hard to kill, provided one can got a good shot at it, but that Is Just the trouble. It has not the marvelous vitality of the shark, which will some times struggle furiously for an hour, although covered with apparently mor tal wounds.—Chicago News. Snaked In Winter. The snake hibernates that is, it passes the late autumn and winter sea sons in a state of torpor coiled up in the hollow roots of trees or cavities protected by bushes. With the return of warmth it issues forth in pursuit of prey and to breed. The female lays from sixteen to twenty eggs in a string and leaves them to be hatched by the sun or by the warmth of decomposing matter. An Artist to lie Envied. We know of no one more to ho envied at the time than a well dressed cutter on a fashionable promenade walking behind a stylish, artistic, right fitting coat that ho cut gloriously and beauti fully adorning the back of a well formed man.—Tailor and Cutter. Would Give It Away. The Doctor—You have a bad cold, Mr. Jiggs. I'll give you some pills for it. Jiggs—Oh. never mind, doctor. You can have it for nothing.—Harvard Lampoon. Flattery. "The flatterer is all right," said the office philosopher. "While no one be lieves a word he says, every one wants , to."—Philadelphia Ledger. LABOR IN SOUTH AFRICA. A Serious Problem Growing Out of the AutiiKouiMiu of Different Knees. The labor problem iu South Africa is a serious one. The working of the mines to the capacity at least of meet ing the demands of trade is a necessi ty. White labor is either scarce or un willing to undertake the task. Black labor of the Kaffir stripe was plentiful In numbers, but slothful. Compulsory drafting of the black man. which would be the result of Mr. Chamberlain's pol icy, was denounced as slavery, and cer tainly it is much like it. The natural laziness of the Kaffir aided the crusade of the white agitators, with the result that the mines were short handed and the output not nearly what it should have been. Basutoland was suggested as a country from which black work ers might be drafted, but again the cry of slavery was raised, and the nil no owners on the one hand and on the other the British government hesitated to get Itself too deeply into any race question under any guise. This was an embarrassing situation. There was not enough white labor for digging, and tin? Transvaalers were op posed to the Kaffirs and the Basutos, against whom they had grudges born of the war. Under the circumstances the mine owners have decided to hire Chinese, and arrangements now are being made to import many thousands of Asiatics. The people of Pretoria are up in arms against this. They say they would accept the Basutos rather thau the Chinese and have formed a strong political organization, threatening de struction to the government if the yel low labor should be imported. There is a disposition in some quarters to be lieve that the scarcity of labor at the mines lias been created by conditions deliberately made by the mine owners, who seek some excuse for the impor tation of a labor that can be controlled at all times and over which the Trans vaal natives will have no influence. If so, it is easy to understand why Die Chinese, who have nothing,in common either witli the white men or with the black tribes of Africa, should have been selected as the workers least lia ble to make trouble and most likely to coniine themselves to their labor. The Transvaaler is an obstinate man, how ever, and if the Chinese are brought in against his protest the question of their deportation will be an active one In politics just so long as the Chinese remain.—New York Press. GOMPERS ANSWERS HILLIS. The Reverend Gentleman Evidently If 11't I'p on the Lubur tluextlon. Uev. Dr. Ilillis said recently: "In the long run there is no way to increase the wage save as we increase the intelligence. At will we can double our wages as a nation. The method is simple—double the quantity and quality of the work we do. We are investing the baud in the spade when we ought to invest the braiu. A hand and spade earn $1 a day; a little intel lect and a spade earn $1.50 per day." In one sense this is a platitude; in another it is not true. Labor may in crease its product without getting any increase of pay, as for example when the employers keep the increase and force labor to live at the old rate. To secure its fair, rightful share labor must be able to compel by economic means an equitable division of the product. lias Dr. Ilillis ever heard of strikes for more pay? Is he Innoceut enough to suppose that all employers are be nevolent by nature and anxious to treat the workers justly by voluntarily increasing their wages or, better still, by reducing their hours of labor? What a mockery it is to tell workmen striv ing to obtain the proper reward for their labor that the way to Increase wages is to Increase the product I What an answer to a demand for fairness under existing comlitionsl From a man who is so unjust and ir rational in Ids treatment of union la bor frantic appeals in behalf of non union labor are not very impressive. From such champions as Dr. ilillis the "free" laborer may well pray to be de livered. When the "free" laborers in sheer desperation strike against the aggression of their employers, the first to whom they appeal for protection and advice—and get it—are the reviled trade unions. Strange, is it not? But then all stu dents and observers know that non unionists instinctively feel that trade unions make the workers truly free.— Samuel Goinpers. The Radical llank and File. Disturbances are to be expected in the labor world to a greater or less ex tent following the Campaign of organ ization that has been carried on in tbis city for over a year. The number of strikes, although seeming large, does not represent over 10 per cent of the organized workers in tills city and would not cause alarm were it not for the nature of the demands made by some of them. Those who remember the causes leading up to the lockout of the building trades in 1000 can see the same influences at work now and fear the same results may follow. The leaders of the unions are often blamed for the radical demands made; but, as a rule, it is the rank and file of the organization, which does not un derstand or appreciate the situation, that is to blame, if a speaker gets up in a union and advocates 50 cents an hour for unskilled laborers he will have pk?nt3' of followers, while the man who suys 20 cents would be more reasonable gets howled down for being afraid of the "bosses."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Chlcanro Het Union City. Chicago is probably tin? best organ ized city in the country today, and in creases in wages amounting to mil lions of dollars a year have been se- 1 ured within the past few mouths. The SPORTING WORLD A SnoecNmful Captain. Captain jimmy Callahan of the Chi cago Americans has shown conclusive ly that he knows all the ins and outs of baseball generalship. Callahan has developed a team that appears to bo of genuine pennant winning caliber, and JIMMY CALLAIIAN, CHICAGO AMERICANS. the fact that it forged its way to the leader's position curly in the season evidences that the men were not dila tory in rounding into form. Callahan is the ablest pitcher In the White Sox team. He has won most of the games in which he lias played this year and is very confident that ills leather chasers will oust the Philadel phia Athletics from their proud posi tion as championship holders. Nnvy nml Army Athletics. The Navy Athletic association,'which has entire charge of athletics at the Naval academy, Annapolis, lias issued a statement which defines the navy's position on the disputed question which brought about the cessation of athletic relations between Annapolis and West Point The difference of opinion was wheth er or not a modified form of eligibility rules should obtain in future contests. Annapolis insisted that they should. The rules as suggested by the navy did not touch professionalism, but sim ply declared that no student should be eligible to play who had represented any first team of a college giving an A. B. degree for four years, and that no student should play who had been on such first team until he had been at the academy at least one year. West Point's position on this propo sition was that the fact of the large number of students at Annapolis is compensated for by the higher age of admission at West Point. Ilrltt NML CHUN. Unless Jimmy Brltt will consent to fight Joe Gans at 133 pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the battle, there is not a chance of the two men ever meeting in the ring. A1 Herford, manager of Gans, had a talk with Willie Brltt, manager of the Californian, a few days ago and In formed him of the terms under which he would fight. As the latter is not willing to tight Gans at 133 pounds at 3 o'clock, but will do so if Gans weighs in at the ring side, it looks as if the match is off for good. Herford says lie intends to take Gatis to England and match him against Jabez White, the English champion. Ilanlon'H New Catcher. Manager NCd Hanlon of Brooklyn .claims that Jacklitscli is one of the best catchers In the business. He played with the Philadelphia club of the National league for two seasons. Hanlon signed liini last February. Jaeklitsch will surely strengthen the Superbas in I lie catching department, as he .is a great hitter, a fine thrower to bases and a good base runner. He has started the season in splendid shape and Is improving rapidly us the summer advances. The American Hehley. William A. Meiklehuin of New York and William Innes Forbes of Philadel phia have been asked to act as referees in the first American Henley, which is to be held on the Schuylkill in July. Entries are expected from New York, Philadelphia and Toronto, as well as from Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Pennsyl vania, Columbia and Georgetown. Nevr Worlj|'H Auto Record.

Great Scheme Evolved to Prevent Any Family Discord. "You've hoard about the horn of plenty, of course," said a young mar ried man. "Now let me tell you about the horn of peace. Alice and I have our little differences of opinion now and then—l suppose nil young married people do—and sometimes it Is not easy to effect a reconciliation right away, we are both so high tempered. Well, the other evening we wont into a deli catessen shop in our neighborhood to get something nice for our evening luncheon. We had just had a lively little quarrel and had made up. In the back of the shop a little boy and a lit tle girl, the proprietor's children, were having a vociferous quarrel over some toys. She slapped him; lie kicked at her; then she slapped him again; then he pulled her hair. "Suddenly on this unpleasant scone appeared a third child, a baby boy of about two years. He immediately scrambled into the melee and out again with a tin horn, which lie began to blow mightily. He blew so loud that it drowned out the sound of the quar rel. He went up to ids brother and blew the horn in his face; then he wont up to the little sister and blew the horn in her face. The two wran glers stopped quarreling and laughed. The baby kept on blowing the horn, the other boy beat a drum and the girl began to pound on a toy piano. "We were served by this time and started out. At the toyshop on the way home Alice turned to go in, and I said: "'What do you want In there?' " 'l'm going to buy a tin horn,' she said. " 'Good!' I exclaimed. 'We'll get the biggest horn they have.' "We bought a big horn, and now whenever there is any sign of n quar rel coming on one or the other of us blows on the tin horn; then we laugh and 'make up.' This is the story of the horn of peace. It never fails, and there is no patent on it. Tell about it to everybody you know if you want to."—Detroit Free Press. A Young Annto in in*. Some days ago two little fellows of seven and eight years heard older peo ple speaking of skeletons. The seven year-old boy listened intently to the conversation, when the elder boy with an air of superior knowledge said abruptly: "You don't know what a skeleton Is, and I do." "So do I," replied the younger. "I do know. I know for certain, I do." "Well, now, what is it?" "It's bones with the people offl"— Lippineott's. Fnnll y Caught. "Say, me good man," exclaimed the city youth, who was undecided wheth er to buy shrimp or minnows, "what do you catch fish witli around here?" "Give me a quarter and I'll tell you," grunted the ruralite with the new cut pole.* "Here it is. Now, what do you catch them with?" "Hooks!" —Philadelphia Record. Appreciation.
