Like' the King of France, "they inarched up the hill then marched down again." It is stated by one writer that the reason v.hy the railroad men called ofT the strike was that they found that the strike would not be against the railroads, but against the railroad labor board, and against the United States government back of it. In tying the country's transportation they would also be indicting a great wrong upon the millions of conlmon people as well as upon the great mass ot citizens even well-to-do who are dependent upon the railroad for the transportation tor the necessities ol life. The labor unions should dismiss some of the walking delegates whose duty seems to make them dissatisfied with conditions that the laboring men had not discovered ?*vre unreasonable or unjust. It nas been claimed we do not know how justly that the average walking delegate is not happy unlesi he can make others unhappy, ami that in order to earn his salary he must occussionally separate some of the unon workmen from their jobs. The settlement of the differences between the railroads and the men is very gratifying. Public opinion was one of the controlling causes of the abandonment o? the strike. 1 he great public with al. ol' t ho In lt?? nnr : lyzed was getting; around to the situ ation that would cause lack of foou and other necessities of daily lil'i were making their protests known ii. very positive tones. The public can generally be trusted when an issue involving the very life of the masses comes up. The people argued that there art now thousands of people without employment, and to add by a railroad strike thousands more to the unemployment army shouid be not only a hardship but a crime against humanity. In order that this condition may not be a menace hereafter. Governor Allen, of Kansas, recommends legislature to prevent strikes. He suggests an industrial court with power to investigate and settle all such disputes between employer and employe , both parties agreeing to abide by the courts decision. One thing in favor of this plan would be the provision requiring service to go on without interruption while the trouble was under investiirat ion The federal labor board has done a good work in bringing about a settlement, but that board had the pub lie behind it. It is said that "the "oice of the people is the voice of God." Whether this be true in tiiis ease the voice of Che of the people had inspiration enough to bring about an agreement that was almost miraculous. Hut all's well that ends well, and we all fee! better that the threatened strike has "gone where the Woodbine twineth" wherever that may be.

One of the best features of the incident is that the steamer took on a cargo of cotton to be delivered at a German port. Although the rain was pouring when the German vessel arrived th< water front was crowded with citizens to welcome the German visitor. WEAK BLOOD IS A REAL BARRIER Growing Children Often Need Glide's Pepto-Mangan Some children grow too quickly?it saps their strength. They lapse into careless, desultory habits, or develop a shrinking attitude. Their faces look pinched. The blood becomes overtaxed hv too rapid growth; and poisons from the system take the place of strenghgiving red corpuscles in the blood. Red corpuscles are -iTiose little red particles that swifri in blcod and give it its color. Gradually that child loses interest in its play. Poor blood needs the building that the iron in Gude's Pepto-Mangan gives to weakened blood. Gude's Pepto-Mangan enriches the blood by increasing the number of red corpuscles, and restores the blood by driving out the poisons. When the revved blood gets to work, the appette becomes what a growing child's should be. Your druggist has Gude's Pepto Mangan in liquid or tablet form. The name, "Gude's Pepto-Mangan" is on FIGHT FOR LIFE WITHUONESS Transport Agent Grasps Beast's Tongue During Battle* But Is | Eventually Killed. ? i" I HUNTERS TELL WEIRD TALES I One Explains Simple Method of Making Animals Sneeze Themselves to Death?Story About the Roosevelt Expedition. i Lutulnn.?From Nairobi, Fust Africa, i days a writer in the London Daily i Mail, comes a thrilling story of the death of u transport a-rent named Klopper, who, pinned down by a lioness he had wounded, made a desperate hid for victory by putting both hands into the animal's mouth and gripping its tongue. Africa is a paradise for the Hon huntei and the literature of the chase is almost endless. Not all Hon hunters are strictly truthful, however. "For instance, in a remote African village." says the writer, "I nn^e came across a deeply tanned prospectorhunter. who swore that his favorite method of hunting lions was to get the animals to sneeze themselves to death. "'It is quite simple,' he said. 'In lion country you build a little arch of stone. Just big enough to allow the Hon to enter with comfort. But you must take care to build It of Jagged stones and to see that the center stone of the arch is n particularly Jagged one. " 'Then you go out and shoot a zebra or some other toothsome creature from the lion's point of view. You drag the corpse under the arch, pepper It heavily and then retire to your tent to sleep. Sneezes Self to Death. "'In the night the lion comes, creeps under the arch to his feast, gets his n??se tilled with pepper, and has an overpowering inclination to sneeze. He sneezes, and in the act throws up his head and dashes his brains out on the center jagged stone of your arch.' i no not vouch lor tlie truth ot thai story."

The mass ditninislied, and they advanced to find one of their oxen horribly mauled by lions. They "dosed" the corpse with strychnine and retired to their camp. They heard the lions busy at the cnrcass all night, and in the morning they found that the deud ox ltnd practically dlsap[M>ared, but lying uenr the spot were five full grown dons?two males and three females?all poisoned.

Buffalo Hill a us the owner of a Wild West show, Kdgur 8. 1'axson became a painter, and L'upt. Jack Crawford wus a poet. It was left for Ed Uuntllue to add another to the list of unusual things for u scout to do. He became the writer [>f dime novels and the producer of melodramas equally exciting. Jud8ou was his real nuuie, and Edward Zane Carroll Judson was the full title with which his parents burdened him on the day of his birth In Philadelphia in 1822. He became one of the boys who ran away to sea and when he wus only thirteen he rescued the crew of u boat that had been run jg down by a ferry steamer lu New York harbor. Soon afterwards he became a luiunminiiuu in tne united States navy. Then the West called him and Judson answered the call. During the , 4 Civil war he wus chief of acouta among the Indians on the western frontier, and after that he wandered all over the great plains as hunter and. trader, lie made the acquaintance of Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill and Texa* Jack, and began writing his thrilling: tales, part fact and Vurt tictlon, about their lives. Ned Buntllne wus thepen name he used In his writing, and as Ned Buntllne he became famous. Huiitline believed that eastern audiences would be Interested In plHysbused on life In the Far West and In. 1872 he persuaded Buffalo Bill and. Texas Jack to come Fast and takepart In one of his melodramas. They arrived in Chicago one Wednesday and! found that Buntllne wus planning toolkit the show the next Monday. Hehad rented the largest theater In the city, but none of the other uctors had been engaged to upi>enr with the two . scouts. In fact, the play had not yet been written! ^ With characteristic energy Buntllne set to work and In four hours he had written n p'uy called "The Se< uts of the Plains." Bunt line's dime novels wore equally popular, and. In spite of the disapproval of their parents, the boys of the eighties and the nineties eagerly read the hair-raising adventures of "Bed Italnh. the an<i 1 B?. vc.r Hye Dick." Buntllne never won renown hs a scout himself, but he heljK'd spread the fame of others, until In 1880 he followed the trail of many of the "redskins" who "bit the dust", when one of his hero's "trusty rifles ranK out." . $100 Reward, $100 The reader* of this papsr will bS pleased to learn that there le at least >ne dreaded disease that science haw been able to cure In all Its states tad that le catarrh.
