A strike for higher wages or shorter

prehensible, but oue has to go to Mexl

M exico!” for a strike that Involves nel
ther a question o f material advantage
nor of abstract principle. One after
noon. during the busiest season of the
year on a coffee-ranch, all the coffee-
pickers, with the exception of one fain
lly, suddenly struck. When asked what
the trouble was, the spokesman. In a
florid and pompous address, declared
that they were "a ll brothers, and must
pick together, or not at all.”
It came out during the Interview
that the father o f the fam ily who had
not struck had received permission for
himself, his w ife and b I x small chil
dren to pick In a block of coffee by
themselves, and to this the others had
heen Induced to object.
W hy they objected they could not
say. because they did not know.
It
was explained to them that the man
had wished his fam ily to work apart
for the sole and sensible reason that,
flr3t, he and his w ife could take bet
ter care o f the children when they
were not scattered among the crowd;
and secondly, that as the trees of the
particular block he had asked to be
allowed to pick In were younger and
smaller than the others, the children
had less difficulty In reaching the
branches.
He had not only derived no financial
advantage from the change, he was
voluntarily making some sacrifice by
going to pick where the coffee, owing
to the' youth of the trees, was less
abundant.
"D on’t you see that this Is the truth
and all there Is to It?" the strikers
were asked.
“ Tes."
"A n d now that It has been explain
ed, won’t you go back to work?"
"N o ."
"But why not?”
"Because."
"Because what?”

“ In 1864,” says the well-known ar

He was the picture dealer par excel

He

was really as If he had been buying

I consented and I did my best not to

Money in weeds? To be sure. The
national department of agriculture
has been for many years telliug the
farmers of the large money value go
ing to waste each year in this coun
try In the shape of pernicious weeds,
and has been issuing bulletins with
directions for collecting, curing and
selling weeds. A quarter of a ceutury
ago Dr. George B. Lorlng, the commis
sioner of agriculture, called attention
to the fact that in Germany many of
the commonest and most pernicious
weeds that the American farmer has
to contend with were successfully and
profitably cultivated, says the Kansas
City Star. Burdock, dandelion, witch-
grass, foxglove, mullein, Lorehound,
Jimpson, mustard and water hemlock
are among our commonest weeds and
grow in great profusion almost every
where in the United States. Ordinar
ily they are regarded merely as trou
blesome weeds. The trouble, of course.
Is in the lazy habit of attempting to
grow weeds and cultivated crops on
the same land at the same time. So
it often happens that the witchgras«
between the potato rows Is more val
uable than the tubers iu the hills.
When you raise weeds you must make
a business o f it. Land that w ill raise
nothing else will raise weeds.
The
Jimpson grows In rank profusion about
the feed lot, the front yard is yellow
with dandelion flowers and the flow er«
of the mullein bedeck the pastures.
The burdock grows In the roadside
fence corners, and the waste lot pro
duces an abundance of witchgrass and
comfrey, yet a m ajority of the drug
weeds used In medicine in this coun
try are still Imported, and paid for
at a high rate.
W ithout counting wormwood, tansy
or rhubarb, all of which are weeds in
favored places, and without Including
catnip or pennyroyal or any of the
mints, the American people are paying
out more than $300,000 a year in hard-
earned money for Imported weeds,
which are grow ing wild in nearly ev
ery part of the country. The Import»
for the year 1907-1908 were as fol-
