Hale, Littlefork, Minn. Affected Should the- State also| ers declares themselves as dead against the strike, but expressed;the fear that hot heads would control the situation. In this event there will be nothing left but to make the strike as wide- spread and paralyzing as possible. As proof that the strike of express ‘wagon drivers has not the sympathy of many who are here engaging in it the employes of the United States Ex- press company voted to return to ‘work, but were finally induced to dis- regard this action through pressure from union leaders. Ashton is still hopeful that either | the. state labor department or Mayor Gaynor will be able to bring about | an adjustment of the express drivers’ grievances. John McManus, representing = the state labor department, said that if a general strike is called “the situation will be so terrible that I hate to con- template it.” i A general strike will involve Great- er New York, Jersey City, Newark, Yonkers, New Rochelle and other neighboring towns and will call out between 60,000 and 75,000 men. Coal teamsters, taxicab chauffeurs and longshoremen have already indicated their willingness to join the strike the moment it is called. ) Setting a Watch, “The jeweler set my watch within a I thousandth of a second when he gave 1 it to me today,” said the man with a | new timepiece, “and this is how he did it: | “He has a clock wired up with the big chronometer at Washington. At 4 p. m. this clock was corrected to | the thousandth of a second. At 4:05 he was ready to deliver my watch. | His master clock has a 39.1 inch.pen- 'dulum, so it ticks seconds. | the first fifty-five ticks in each minute ]ls announced by a telegraph sounder in the clock, then the last five seconds | are silent. The watchmaker rested a | camel’s hair brush on the balance wheel of the watch to stop it. then set | all the hands, hour, minute and second | at 4:06:00 and -waited. When the si- l lence of the sounder indicated’ 4:05:55 he got ready, and five seconds later, on | the first tick of 4:06, he lifted the ; brush and the watch started. By looking at the second hand with a glass and listening to the clock an- nouncer I proved their identicalness to travel from the clock to my ear.”— New York Sun. Daniel Wilson, His House. Dr. Daniel Wilson, afterward prin- cipal' of the University of Toronto, used in earlier days to live near Lau- riston, in Scotland. One day Dr. John Beddoe (who has written an autobiog- raphy) set out to find him. “Having,” he says, “no clear idea of the situation of the house, I entered St. Margaret’s lane, which I conceived must lead in the right direction, and, meeting a gen- tleman just about to issue therefrom, asked whether he could direct me to Dr. Wilson’s new house. He looked hard at me and inquired: “‘Do you know Daniel Wilson? ‘I do’ ‘Intimately? ‘Yes, intimately. ‘Then follow this ‘road till you see a house that looks as if it belongs.to Daniel Wilson, and that will be it 1 thanked him and, following his advice, ! had mno difficulty in identifying the house. It had a window which con- tained some tracery of a pattern which I knew Wilson considered peculiarly Scottish.” Forbidden Ground. A visit of Gladstone to the Isle of Man is recalled by Agnes Herbert and described in her book about that in- teresting little speck in the midst of the Irish sea. Mr. Gladstone had made a detour across a small holding in Rushen, and his way lay through the “haggart,” where the stacks are harvested. A strong, powerfully built Manxwoman stood throwing up the straw to the stack, using her fork as deftly. and quickly as a farm laborer. “That is very hard work, my good woman,” the Grand Old Man is re- ported to have said graciously, “but you look well and strong. May I ask how old you are?” The toiler hardly turned as she an- swered sharply: . “How oul' art thou thyself, thou im- perent oul’ man?” The Arts of Asia. It was Asia, through Arabia, which gave Europe the literature, the arts and the sciences which we have de- veloped and of which we now boast. Gunpowder was probably invented in China. It was certainly introduced into Europe from Arabia. The finely tempered steel of Damascus went over from Arabia at the time of the Moor- ish invasion of Spain, and its manu- facture was continued at Toledo. The coppersmiths of Bagdad supplied the world’s market with their wonderful productions centuries before there ‘were any industries in Europe. Weav- ing of silk and cotton had its birth as an industry in Arabia, and the weav- ing of wool was learned by the cru- saders in the same wonderful country. Astronomy, mathematics, the mariner’s compass—all came to us from the Arabs.—Argonaut. The Tramp and the Dog. Mrs, Suburb—Oh, my dear, that mag- nificent ‘watchdog you brought home yesterday is gone! Mr. Suburb—Eh? Did he break the chain? “No, but an ugly looking tramp came around and acted so terribly that I let the dog loose, but instead of tearing the tramp to pieces he went off with him.” ‘“Great snakes! It must have been the same tramp I bought him of!"— New York Weekly. WANTEDX-16, 18 or 20 ft. launch. 2to 3 hbres power engine. Ad, dress P.'B. Heffernan, State Sana. torium, Cass Co., Minn.
