In Sympathetic Mood.
Our sympathies go out to Colonel
Wood in bis boor of trouble with tbe
meohanioal force of the Leader office,
Hia foroe threatened a strike and walk
out if he published a paper this Christ
mas week. While tbe colonel stands
to lose a big wad of dougb, be came
through and aoquiesced in the de
mands of organized labor; hence the
Leader will not appear this week
True, the Press was oonfrooted with
like demands, but being a born diplo
mat, tbe old man chained tbe devil to
the of floe safe and bribed the maobine
operator to thump out a few Press par
agraphs, with the result that tbe
Press appears on time, if not up to its
usual standard. These labor troubles
are sure cantankerous at times.
ORATORICAL AND NERVY.
An Old Cobbler Who Won a Laugh and
f Favors From Napoleon.
On Napoleon's arrival ot Mars-la-Tours
the mayor, a farmer, tried in
vain to make the speech he had pre
pared. Bowing and scraping, he stood
fascinated by Bonaparte's scrutinizing
black eyes an unhappy squirrel in the
gaze of the rattlesnake.
Close behind tbe trembling mayor
stood an old shoemaker, iu figure a
true Dou Quixote, clad in his working
dress. "Why don't you speak, you
fool?" be muttered from time to time
to his leader. At last his patience
gave way. He pushed the mayor aside,
advanced, with bla left hand removed
hie greasy cotton nightcap, with his
right lifted tbe born spectacles from
his nose, made his bow and delivered
the "oration: "Emperor, you nre on your
way to tbrasb the Prussian rogues
once more. 1 hope soon to see you re
turn crowned with glory, and 1 have
nothing more to say, but that Caesar
and Alexander were botches in com
parlson with yott." . .'
Tbe emperor laughed and inquired of
tbe old man whether he bad any sons,
"Yes; four nre In the army two of
these In the guards." Their names
were taken down, and the honest shoe
maker soon saw them raised to tbe
rank of officers and found himself pro
vlded with a comfortable pension.

One day in April a man who lived

said he wanted to buy a load of seed
wheat Tbe farmer did not answer him
at once. .
"You needn't be afraid. Mr. Wilier?'
said the would be purchaser. "I've got
tbe money to pay for It right here."
"Now. that's lust what I wanted to
know." said John Wilier, and bis face
brightened perceptibly; "1 rn glad you
told me. Lots of my neighbors need
seed this spring and haven't the cash
to pay for it If they can't Bet seed
on credit tbey can't get It ot nil. and
I want to help them out. But If you've
