B., PRINCIPAL Southern Oregon State Normal School Tho following narratlvo, which has considerable Interest nt tho present time, owing to tho strlko now In pro gross, Is taken from tho Dotrolt Nows Tribune: I am 35 years old, married, tho fath er of four children, and havo lived In tho coal regions all my life. Twenty- three of these years havo beon spent working In nnd around tho mines. My father wns a miner. Ho died 10 years ngo from 'minors' asthma." Three of my brothers nre minors; nono of us had any opportunities to ncipilro an education. Wo wore sent to school (such ns there wero In those days) until wo wero about 12 years of ago, nnd then wo wore put Into tho screen room of n breaker to pick slate. From there we wont Insldo tho mines ns driver boys. As wo grew stronger wo wero taken on ns labor ers, where wo served until able to call ourselves minors. Wo wero giv en work In tho broasts and gangways. Thoro woro flvo of us boys, ouo lies in tho cemetery 50 tons of rock drop ped on him. Ho wns killed threo weoks nftor ho got his job as minor a month hoforo he was to bo married. In the 15 years I havo worked as n minor I havo earned tho avorago rato of wago any of us coal henvors got. Today I am little bettor off than when I started to do for myself. I havo $100 on hand; I am not In debt; I hope to bo nblo to woathor tho strike without going hungry. I am only one of the hundreds you soo on tho street ovory day. Tho mus- tlos on my arms aro no harder, tho callous, on my pnlms no deeper than my neighbors' whoso entire life tins been spent In tho conl region, Hy years I am 35. Hut look at tho marks on my body; look at tho linos of wor rlmont on my farohend; see tho gray hairs on my head and In my mous tache; tnko my general appearance. to buy. I paid tho drug store $18 In that time. Her mothor nursed her, and wo kept a girl In tho kitchen for $1.50 n week, which cost mo $16 for 10 weoks, besides tho additional liv ing oxponses. In 1897, Just nyenr nftorward, I had a sovoro trial. And mind, In thoso years wo wore only working about half time. Hut in tho fall of that year one of my brothers Btruck a gas feedor. There was n tcrrlblo explosion. He was hurled downward In the breast and covered with tho rush of conl nnd rock. I was working only three breasts awny from him nnd for a mo ment was unablo to realize what had occurred. Myself nnd a hundred oth ers wore soon at work, however, nnd In n short while wo found him, horri bly burned over his wholo body, his laborer dead alongside of him. He was my brother. Ho wns singlo nnd had been boarding. Ho had no homo of his own. I didn't want him tnkon to tho hospital, so I directed tho drlvor of tho ambulanco to tnko him to my house. Ilesldes bolng burned, his right arm and loft log wero broken and ho wns hurt Internally, Tho doc tors thoro wero two nt tho houso when wo got there said ho would dlo. Ilut ho didn't. Ho Is living and a minor today. Ilut ho lay in bod Just II weoks, and wns unable to work for Bovon weokB after ho got out of hod. Ho had no money when ho wns hurt oxcopt tho amount represented by Ills pay. It Is nonsense to say I wns not com pelled to keep him, Hint I could havo sent him to tho hospltnl or tho alms house. Wo aro Amorlcnn cltl.ons nnd wo don't go to hospitals nnd poor housos. Let us look nt those things ns they aro today, or as thoy woro before this strlko commenced.

F.-doea Seediaen. 91 8tre SaIejD 0i nnd you'll think I m 10 years older. You need not wondor why. Dny In nnd day out, iimni Monday morning to Snturdny evening, botweon tho rising and setting of tho huh, I am In tho un derground worklngB of the conl mines. From tho seams wntor trioleins Into the ditches along tho gangways; If not water, It Is tho gas which hurls us to oternlty, nnd tho props and tlmbora to n chaos. Our dally life Is not a pleasant one. When wo put on our oil soaked suit In the morning wo enn't guoss nil tho dangers which threaten our lives. Wo walk sometlmos miles to tho place to tho mnnway or traveling way, or to tho mouth of tho shaft on top of tho slope. And than wo outer tho dark ened chambers of tho mines. On our right and on our left wo soo tho logs that keop up tho top and support tho sides which may crush us Into shape- loss masses, as thoy havo dono to many of our comrades. Wo got old quickly. Powdor smoko, nfterdamp, bad air all combines to bring furrows to our faces and asthma to our lungs. I did not strike because I wanted to; I struck because I had to. A minor tho same as any other workman must oarn fnlr living wagos, or he can't live. And it Is not how much you got that counts. I have gone through It all, nnd I think my case is a good sample. I was married In 1800, when I was S3 yoars old quit a bit above the age when wo minor boys get Into double harness. The woman I married Is like myself. She was born beneath the shadow of a dirt bank; hor chanc es of school woro no better than mine; but she did have to learn how to keep houso on a certain amount of money. After wo pnld the preacher for tying the knot wo had just $186 In cash, good health and the good wishes of many friends to start off. Our cash was exhausted In buying furniture for housekeeping. In 1800 work was not so plentiful, and by the time our first baby came there was room for much doubt as to how we would pull through. Low wages, and not much over half time in those yean made us hustle. In 1800-01 from June to May I earned $308.82. That repres ented 11 months' work, or an average of $3112 per month. Our rent wag $10 per month:, store not less than $90. And then I had my oil suit and gmn boots to pay for. The result was that after the first year and a half of our married life we were In debt Not much, of course, and not as much as many of my neighbors, men of larger families, and some who made less money, or In whose case there had beon slekneea or accident or death. These are all things which a miner HiHst provide for. la 1866 my wife was sJek 11 weeks. The doctor came to ray house almost every day. He charged roe $20 nftor my labor, power, oil and other o.poiiBos woro tnkon off. woro $20.-17. that was my earnings for two weeks, nnd that oxtrn good. Tho laboror for tho same tlmo got $21. His wages nro a trlllo over $10 a woolc for six full days. Iloforo tho strike of 1000 ho was paid In this region $1.70 por day, or $10.20 por woek. If tho 10 per cent rnlso had boon given, as wo oxpected, , his wago would ho $1.87 por dny, or $11.20 per woek, or an Increase of $1.02 por wok. Hut wo all know tlint under tho present system ho doesn't get any $11. Well, ns I said, my wnge wns $20,17 for tho two weoks, or nt tho ruto of $68.01 por month. My rent Is $10.60 por month. My coal costs mo nlmost $1 per month. Wo bum a little ovor a ton a month on an average and It costs us ovor $3 a ton. Light does not coBt so much; wo use coal oil altogeth er. Whan It comes down to groceries Is whoro you get hit tho hardest. Kvery body knows tho cost of living has been oxtromoly high nil wlntor. Hotter tins been 32, 3(1 and 38 conts n pound; eggs as high as 32 conts a dozen; hnm 12 nnd 10 rents n pound; potatoes away up to $1, and cabbage not less than a cent a pound. Fresh meat need not1 bo counted. Flour and sugar did not advance, but they were about the only staples that didn't. Anyhow, my store bill for those two weeks was $11. That makes $22 a month. The butcher gets $0 por month. Add them nil and it costs mo Just to live. $12.60. That leaves $17 per month to keep my fam ily In clothes to pay my church dints and to keeji tho Industrial Insurance going. My Insurance alono costs me 66 cents a week, or $2.S0 a month. The coal president never allows his stable boss to cut the amount of fod der allotted to his mules. He Insists on so many quart of oats and corn to the mule and so much hay In the evening. The mule must be fed; the miner may be, If he works hnrd enough to buy the grub. Now, y(N must take Into considera tion that I am a contract miner and that my earning are more than the wages of three-fourths of the other fel lows at the same colliery. It Is not that I am a favorite with the boss. I Just struck a good breast. Maybe next month my wages would be from $2 to $ or $7 less. We minors do not iwrtlcipate In the high prises of coal. The operators try to prove otherwise by Juggling with figures, hut their proving has struck a fault, and the drill shows no coal Ih that section. One-half of the price paid tor a ton of coal In New York or Philadelphia goes Into the profit pocket of the mine owner either as a carrier or a miner. We all know that the price of coal has advanced In the past 90 years. We also know that wages are less. inai toe cost of living is higher. 1 re- THE TEXAS FEVER. CoiiilMlnns Tlmt 1'roiliioc It nnil Hoy? to .llnkc Cuttle Immune. Dr. Cnry of the Alabama Blntlon, in the summary of bulletin No. 110 upon Texas fever, says: An nnltnnl sick with Texas fever can not Infest or transmit the disease to healthy cattle. Tho only known means by which the micro parasite that caus es Texas fever can bo transmitted from diseased cattle to healthy ones la through two generations of tho south ern cnttlo tick. Tick free cattle never havo Texas fever ns long as they nre tick free. Cnttlo with Texas fever have or have hud ticks upon them. All cnttlo must acquire Immunity after birth by having one or more attacks of Texas fever. Immunity to Texas fever Is not Inher ited. Southern bred cnttlo hove Texas fever when very young (sucking calves) and nre usually but slightly affected by It. The older tho animal the more se vere the fever; tho older tho anlmnl tho greater the mortality. All cnttlo north of the government quarantine line are susceptible to Tex as fever, as ore all southern bred cnttlo raised on tick free farms nnd tick free town lets. Immune cattlo will loso their Immunity If kept freo of ticks for two or more years. In hot weather Texns fever Is usually moro acute and fatal than In cool seasons. Tho host time to bring northern bred or foreign bred cattle Into Alabama Is between Nov. 1 and March 1. It Is snfer to bring young sucking calves Into Ala bama for acclimation than cnttlo over a year old. Mucking calves (two to four months old) can be shipped Into the south by express, fed milk from n southern bred and Immune cow nnd he mnde Immune by natural tick Inoculations, with little danger of loss. One or two Inoculations with do fllirlnntcd blood from mi Immune mil mat will produce a relatively safe lui munlty to Texas fever. Tho best age for Inoculating with dellhrlnatcd blood Is n year or less. The best time Is be tween Oct. .'10 mid March 1. From r0 to DO per cent of northern bred or susceptible cattle dlo with Tex as fever when turned Into tick Infostcd pastures. 1.vkk than 10 per cent nre lost when made Immune by the dc llbrinntcd blood Inoculation method. When to Water IIokb. Always water hogs before feeding and never afterward. If this Is prac ticed and the animals nro given ear corn on a feeding iloor, fourteen pounds of corn will produce two pounds of gain. In other words, every bushel of corn ought to produce ten pounds of Mirk. If this Is not being uccompllsh rd, something Is wro says John t.'ownl". HpoUe Too I.iilc. The good minister of n Scottish par ish had onco upon n tlmo it great wish for mi old couple to become teetotal ers, which they wero In nowise eager to carry out. After much pressing, however, thoy consented, laying down as a condition that they should be al lowed to keep u bottle of "Anld Kirk" for medicinal purposes. About a fort night afterward .loliu bogau to feel his resolution' weakening, but he was de termined not to be the first to give way. In nuethor wool;, however, ho col lapsed entirely. "Jenny, woman," ho said, "I've mi nwfu' pain In my bold. Ye mlcht gle me a wee drnpple an' see glu It II dee mo ony guld." "SVell. gudeinuii." she replied, "ye're owre Isto o' nsklii', for over sin' that bottle cum' Into tho hoose I've been bothered sue wl' pains I' my held 't Is u' dune, nu' there's lino drnpple left."

Tho hug Illldo wns printed In ItVID by the authority of Kdwnrd VI., mid Its curiosity lies In the rendering of the llftb vere of the Ninety-first Psalm, which, as we know, runs. "Thou shalt not he afraid for tho tor ror by night nor for tho arrow which llloth by dny," but In tho above ver sion ran. "So thou slmlt not node to he afraid of any huggos by night." Ludicrous ns this sounds, It Is not etymologicnlly without Justification. "Hug" Is derived from the Welsh word "bwg." which mount a hobgoblin or terrifying specter, a signification trace able In the word commonly In use to-lsy-"bugber" and Shakespeare once or twice uses the word In this primary sense, notably when he makes Hamlet say. "Much hugs ami goblins lu my life." I'lne Chlmi. I'lito china needs osre In washing and drying ami should never lie placed In nervous or Indifferent hands.

China will shine heautl. fully If wled out of olear warm wa. ter. The recent rlso in the prices of feed stuffs bus played havoc with the male frs of milk who nro bound by u con tract price, ssyo Tho llrccder's Gazette. It Is reported from ono of tho dairy districts near Chicago that n loss of nearly a,"i cents n can Is now sultered by the farmers who contracted tholr milk for the winter tit $1,113 per can, as Used by tho Milk Shippers' union. The nvocntlon of inent and milk making ilocs not ordlnnrlly afford enough prollt Hie year with another to enable lis followers to recoup tho loss of ono sea son with tho profits of a previous or subsequent season. Tho price of living had been forced down to so low a ba sis In cities that tho farmer worked on l very mnnll margin of profit, nnd hence h marked advance In the cost of his feedstuffs uuneconipnnled by a cor responding rlso In the price of ids mar keted products cuts close to tho hone. Relief Is possible only through nn ad vance In price to the consumer, and it should be promptly made. City peoplo avo for the most part sutllelently pros perous to share with the farmer tho loss resultant from an abnormally un favorable crop season. In a year of great prosperity the merchant nnd tho manufacturer can generally lay by a surplus against a season of dull trade, but the American farmer has for years been working on ho close a margin that he lias not been able to do this except in cases which may properly bo termed exceptional considering the vast num ber In which the opposite Is true. No reason exIstB why city people, with In sreusod Incomes consequent upon the prosperity that Is so general In busi ness circles, should fatten on the fann er's loss. They have hud cheap milk nnd cheap meat, and it will not hurt them at the present time to enlarge their appropriations for thoso necessi ties of life. 'Hip 1'iiur row. Feeding tho poor Is only collateral to wasting fodder In the field, and as It Is a business axiom that tho first loss is always the best It Is llkoly wlstr to lose the fodder directly than lose It through an unprofitable animal after having added the cost of hauling and feeding, suyn W. I'. McSparrow lu Nu tloual Htocklunu. The cow adds no umiiurlal value to the fodder. This Is the cow also for which no man can afford lo buy commercial feeds. She Is the love's labor lost of the dairy. She Is part of the undertow lo the farm. She Is more of n drain on the farm than the everlasting manure pile out "under the rain drip." Shu steals the farmer's la bor and his hope. Thu much maligned mortgage Is Insignificant by her side. She drives the boy from tho farm nnd makes the girls shy of farmer boys matrimonially Inclined, Verily, she Is a llfteen dollar uulimil using twenty live dollar feed, Kern TIiIiik Clrnn, You don't know unless you have tried It how It Increases u common cow's self respect and Incidentally her milk yield to have a clean, sweet sta ble to walk Into night mid morning, to be turned Into a pasture with succulent feed up to her eyes and with plenty of pure, cool witter to drink, lo see the shepherd dog chained up Instead of snapping at her heels and to receive gentle words rather than kicks and have tho atmosphere free from cuss words nt milking time.

"Dry ni Xlntliitlc." It Is fairly obvious 'that tho study of Ptatlstlcs Is not exactly what would bo termed n populnr pastime,, nays Wlnthrop M. Daniels in Tho Atlantic. Librarians do not discover any cxten she demand for statistical literature. Sir John Lubbock, If I remember rightly, found no placo for n singlo Volume of figures In his hundred boat books, nnd In timt flood of articles on "Hooks That Havo Helped Me, by Authors Great and Authors Small," tho same significant silence seemed to be maintained. Thero were somo very curious bonks that had apparently proved helpful to certnln persons, but there wub unbroken testimony of a negative kind that nobody had ever been helped by n bluo book. To say of anything "ns dry ns sta tistics" Is at once to consign it to tho nethermost limbo of aridity. Such Is tho verdict upon tho finished statis tical product.

A gentlemnn who Is fond of studying wild animals lu tholr natural surround ings onco had nn opportunity of seeing for himself nn cxnmplo of tho cunning for which the fox has become prover bial. As lie wnB standing near tho bank of a river ono winter dny, ho saw a fox run out upon the Ice nnd mako straight tor n hole. At the edge of the opening he slopped, turned, followed his trncks back to the bank, ran down the stream and paused to await developments. In a little while u dog came tearing out of the woods, with his iiohc.cIoso to the Ice mid snow. He ran along'the Ice with bin head down, following tho scent until he reached the opening. It was then loo late lo check his speed, lie plunged Into (he water nnd was lost under Hie Ice. The fox meantime had walled In plain sight to watch the effect of his little trick. Aflcr the dog came Into view the fox remained perfectly mo tionless until ho saw his oUI enemy disappear.
