J. F. Sullivan had the misfor- tune of severely burning his right hand last Thursday morning. A small engine that was being used in the jewelery store window, was not feeding well and more gaso- line was turned on, with the result that flames shot up from all around 1t. To prevent a fire Mr, Sullivan pulled the engine from the window but in doing so the gasoline spread over his hand and clothing' and caught fire. He at once rushed into the street and smothered the flames in the snow. J. M. Reed who chanced to be present, gave timely aid with his overcoat and prevented more serious conse- quances. It is hard to tell as yet how serious the burn may be, but at present Mr. Sullivanis resting comfortably. o Denies Trade Restraint Charge. Cincinnati, Dec. 29.—Clarence Le Bus, president of the Burley Tobacco society, flatly denied that the society is a conspiracy or combination in re- straint of trade. The denial is made in his answer to a suit filed in the United States circult court against him and against the society and Alon- zo Ferguson, the vice president. A Queer Test. The grocer said to the applicant: “Your references are good. Show me your style of weighing out five pounds of sugar. There's the scales.” The applicant wreathed his face in the amiable smile all salesmen wear and weighed out the sugar with dis- patch and accuracy, He put on too little sugar at first; he added gently a full half pound before the scale bal- anced. “You'll do,” sald the grocer. *“You understand the scale trick. It is plain that you learned your trade in the thorough old school way.” “Yes, sir,” the other answered. “I learned In the country, and almost my first lesson was that in weighing. You must add, add, add, till the beam tips, because all that adding pleases the cus- tomer—seems to him almost like a gift, But if, on the contrary, you substract from the quantity on the scale the customer is affected in the opposite Way—you seem to be robbing him. He goes away convinced that you are a stingy cheat.”—New Orleans Times Democrat. Beaten at Own Game. “A few days since,” relates a sollcit: or, “as I was sitting with my friend D. fu his office 2 man came In and said: “‘Mr. W., the livery stable keeper tricked me shamefully yesterday, and I want to be even with him.’ ' “‘State your case, said D. “I asked him how much he’d charge me for a horse to go to Richmond. He sald half a sovereign. I took the horse, and when I came back he said be wanted another half sovereign for coming back and made me pay it.” “D. gave his client some legal ad vice, which he immediately acted upon, as follows: He went to the livery stable keeper and said, ‘How much will you charge for a horse to Wind- sor? “The man replied, ‘A sovereign.” “Client accordingly went to Wind- sor, came back by rail and went to the lvery stable keeper, saying: “‘Here Is your money,’ paying him & sovereign. “‘Where is my horse? said W. “‘He’s at Windsor, answered the client. ‘I hired him only to go to Wind- sor.” "—Pearson’s Weekly. A Wide Range. When the surgeon who happened to be spending a night at Bushby Inn had set the broken leg of the weather beaten stranger who was the chief vie- tim of an automobile accident the patient looked up at him anxiously. “See here, doc,” he sald In a husky volce, “I haven’t got much of .any money. Would you take out your fee in trade?” “Yes, I guess so,” said the surgeon cheerfully. “What is your trade?” “Well, I've got a number of things I can do soon as I'm on my feet again,” said the patient. “I can hang window blinds, or I can put on light. ning rods, or I can play the cornet, and I can do ’em all first rite, If I'm the one to say it, doc.”—Youth’s Com- panion.

A Queer Complication. In Sydney, a town of 500,000 inhab- itants, one can get nothing to eat on a Sunday. Cértaln restaurants supply food surreptitiously, but the whole time the guests are In danger of being arrested. Once an Italian was In such a restaurant on Sunday when suddenly the police entered. The Italian was promptly pushed by the proprietor into a room where a waitress happened to be standing in negligee. Even this room the police invaded, but the wait- ress saved the situation by declaring that the young man was her fiance. The young man, by the way, had been married some time. He thought that he had deceived the policeman; but, as a matter-of fact, he had got out of the frying pan into the fire. One fine day the waitress called him before the courts and claimed $2,500 for breach of promise. The Italian had to pay. And then came the worst of all. His wife sued for a divorce and shortly after married another man. —— e SCENE CHANGES 0 WASHINGTON Conference to Be Held There on Switchmen’s Strike. KNAPP AND NEILL AGREE Chairman of Interstate Commerce Commission and Federal Labor Com- missioner Will Meet Head of Rail- way Council of Federation of Labor. 8trong Effort to Be Made to Inter- est President Taft in the Matter. ‘Washington, Dec. 29.—A conference will be held here on Friday at which it is expected an agreement may be reached forming the basis of a possi- ble compromise between the striking switchmen and the railway managers. Those who will participate will be H. B. Perham, chairman of the rail- way department of the American Fed- eration of Labor; Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, and Charles Neill, United States commissioner of labor. The meeting will be held at the suggestion of Mr. Perham, who tele- graphed from St. Paul that he would be here on Friday and that he would like to meet Messrs. Knapp and Neill in conference. One object of Mr. Perham’s pro- posed visit to Washington is to lay the strike situation before President Taft. According to information received here, the scope of the strike would be broadened materially unless thie war- ring forces can be brought together. Under the terms of the Erdman act the chairman of the interstate com- merce commission and the commis- sioner of labor are designated as Mediators and Conciliators. They are charged with the duty of paving the way to arbitration in dis- putes between railway employers and employes. Messrs. Knapp and Neill have acted in a number of strike cases and with the exception of the recent one invariably have been successful. It is known, however, that up to the time they received word from Mr. Perham that he desired to confer with them Messrs. Knapp and Neill were fearful that in this instance the Erd- man act would prove a failure. There is a probability that the strike may be settled without recourse to the Erdman act, although Messrs. Knapp and Neill may be factors in ending the trouble. A strong effort will be made to in- duce President Taft to interest him- self in the situation. If the president can be induced to intercede officials here believe that what threatens to be a strike widespread in its propor- tions may be averted. Indications are that the president will have his atten- tion formally directed to that matter immediately following Friday's con- ference. SAYS PEARY FOUND POLE Geographic Society of Chicago Honors Explorer. Chicago, Dec. 29.—The Geographic Society of Chicago recognizes Lieuten- ant Commander Robert E.
