It is up to the American Congtess
now that the coal strike is settled
to see that nothing like it shall
again arise.
In our enthusiastic praise of
President Roosevelt we should not
overlook the fact that an Alabama
editor also settled a strike.
Now that editor George Bell has
been elected to the legislature we

It took the mine owners just five
months. to consent to do what
Mitchell wanted them to do in the

did not want a strike.
INSTITUTE A LIBRARY.
The fathers and mothers with
the interest of their children at
heart and the improvement of Vi
enna generally could find no bet
ter or nobler way of benefitting
the people and the city nt the tame
time than by investing a little
money in organizing a public li
brary. _
When we say public, we mean
public and let the books be free.to
all poor and rich alike and let the
one purpose of the library be to
advance the litcrury improvement.
Now we doubt not, if any rep
utable citizens should take this
mutter up, we believe that enough
money could be raised by popular
subscription to insure the success
of this institution.
Let us come together and push
this movement to a successful end,
and let our young people and older
ones have the advantage of a good
library that would be the founda
tion that from which would arise
literary societies, rending circles,
debating /tocieties, etc., that would
furnish our young people with
some place to spend their idle mo
ments pleasantly and profitably.
ALL IS VANITY.
"What is fame, but to have one's
name misspelled in the gazettes?”
was the cynical ipquiry of a brilliant
misanthrope. Many men, after
achieving some of the things that
were to bring them happiness, have
exclaimed "all is vanity.”
The latest testimony of this kind
comes in most artistic phrase from
an artist who has won fame on the
stage. Julia Marlowe is one of the
successful actresses of the day, and
writing of her profession and ex
perience she says:
'Always it is easy for us, looking
back on our life decisions in the
light of our experience, to realize
how much wiser, saner decisions
we might have made. Could I
have an apportunity once more to
define my purposes and give direc
tion to my ambitions the issue of
the matter would be somewhat dif
ferent from what it has been. It
would have nothing to do with the
stage. I am far from dscrying art
ns a thankless or an unkind mis
tress. She spurs us on to a measure
of achievement in spite of ourselves
sometimes, and her rewards are
sweet. But she denies us the one
thing in life, that I have come to
believe is best worth while, a strong
personal influence exerted within a
small circle, benefitting a few, and
these few supremely
'‘And so if I had the great de
cision to make again—and knew
what I know—it would be for those
things which should cast my lile
in more peaceful walks ;«nd sur-
roud me with a family and a few
intimate friends. I would have
been worth more to the world than
I am now, because the influence I
mighth have exerted would have
won whut is finer and sweeter than
a line in a book—the gratitude of a
few dead hearts.”—The Augusta
Chronicle,

In about two weeks we expect
something will drop down in old

Mrs. Jane Wesley of Charles
ton, W. Vo., is suing for a di
vorce. She charges that for a long
time she bore with her husband’s
linguistic abuse of her mother, but
decided on revolt when he brought
home a brindle bull pup and
"sicked” it on the old lady. Not
ocly that, he beat the animal when
it refused to obey him.
BIHU In Indian lattnS*.
All primitive people regard the bird
as specially wise and favored. Living
In the air, he Is regarded as exerdRlng
control over atmospheric phenomena,
and, knowing so well his own migra
tory scasonA the Indians observe his
flights as foreboding ill or good to
themselves.
The Huron* believe that the dove
carries the souls of the departed hence.
The Dakotas say the storm bird dwells
so high ns to be out of human vision
and carries a fresh water lake on bis
back, so that when be plumes himself
It rains, when he winks his bright eyes
It lightens, when he flaps bis wings
thunder rolls. The Alaskans bold much
the same Idea about the “thunder-
bird.”
Among them all the eagle is mighty,
brave, aspiring, the symbol of their
warriors for apparent reasons. The
kingfisher Is anxious to serve bis broth
er man.
Royalty qnd Profanity.
William the Conqueror did not Intro
duce swearing Into England, but be
brought with him a very forcible oath.
William was accustomed to swear “by
the splendor of God,” and on such oc
casions be combined with It the “ter
rible aspect of the eyes,” which always
took the place of swearing In the case
of Sir Joseph Porter, K. c. B. After
William’s tlihe the rulers of England,
with possibly here and there an excep
tion, swore with great frequency and
vigor. It Is related that even Queen
Bess, whose auburn locks did not belie 1 ’
a fiery temper, would break Into a
string of expletives that would rattle
the royal windows and frighten the
household and royal attendants from
all sense of diplomatic recourse.—Lon
don Tatler.
