ZEB WHITE HAD A HEAP OF FUN
WITH THE VARMINT.
The Paiian Banter's Story of the
Tricks Be Played on Poor Brain
and the Way the Vmtorgl-rlnB Beasj
Beat Him Oat of the Hide.
Copyright, 1900. by C. B. Lewis.
,"One September day," said the old
possum hunter of Tennessee as Iitfhed
him for a story, "I was sittin on fcese
yere steps smokln my pipe when a b'ar
suddenly appeared out thar by the co'r
,ner of the pigpen. I didn't git flustrat
ed. I seen the b'ar was pore in flesh,
and I knowed his fur wasn't prime. It
ain't no use to kill a b'ar jest fur the
sake of killln. Besides, thar was some
thin sort of cute lookin in his face.
As we looked at each other he cocked
his ears and seemed to say:
" 'Hello, Zeb White! I've called
around to see yo'. I won't be wuth
killln fur two months ylt, and mean
while, if yo' don't mind, we'll hev some
fun.'
"I took It that be said that and the
old woman took it that way, too, and
so I didn't skeer him off. He saunter
ed around fur a spell and then disap
peared, but I knowed what he was up
to. I had two hives of bees, and ha
"WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHEB."
had marked 'em down and would be
back some night arter honey. It wasn't
an hour befo' I moved them hives out
of his reach and replaced 'em with two
hives filled with straw. I shet the old
dog up in the house that night, and
'long 'bout midnight he begun to whine
and growl. I jest got to the winder
when the b'ar showed up. He was
arter that honey, and he hadn't no
time to waste. One hive wasn't 'nuff
fur him, and he knocked both over as
soon as be got within reach and then
made ready fur a feast. When he
found them hives hard packed with
straw, he knowed it was a joke, and
be sot up and looked so sheepish and
mean over it that I laughed fur half
an hour. That b'ar went away feelin
hurt in his feelin's, but I was suab
he'd come back ag'ln some other night
and try to pay me off.
"I had jest penned up a likely pig,
and that b'ar was bound to hev pig
meat if be couldn't hev honey. He
was suah to be back the next night.
and so I spent two hours greasln the
roof of the pen with soft soap. When
I was through, it was so slippery that
even claws wouldn't take hold. On
the second night, 'bout 11 o'clock, the
b'ar showed up ng'ln. He bad bin
thlnkin of fresh pork all the afternoon
and had got hungry over It, and arter
one look around he climbed upon the
roof of the pen. It had a steep pitch to
It, and. It dropped off Into a gully, and
that b'ar bad skossly got up before he
was slidln down like a log of Wood.
He shot eff the roof into the gully like
a big ball, and me and the old woman
laughed till the tears came Three
times the b'ar tried it, and three times
be was dumped. - 1 yelled at him' and
called him names, and his feelin's was
hurt ag'ln. He was so 'shamed 'bout
things that be wouldn't even fight the'
dog.
'I knowed the varmint wouldn't gin
up that way, but would keep comin
back till he got suntbln. It struck me
that he'd go fur the chickens next, and
so I had a trap all ready fur him. He
was too cute to step Into It, and arter
roamln around fur awhile he went off.
I laughed at him and called him a
mighty pore b'ar, and be appeared so
lonesome over it that 1 almost pitied
him. He didn't come back the next
night or the next, but on the third
night he showed up ag'ln, and 1 had
another joke ready fur him. 1 bad
beaded the old dawg up In a stout bar'l
and then wrapped the bar'l around
with barbed wire. I used up 200 feet
of wire around that bar'l, and the
barbs stuck out like quills of a porcu
pine. As soon as the b'ar appeared the
old dawg begun to bark and raise a
fuss. I don't reckon that varmint bad
ever heard of a dawg In a bar'l befo',
and I'm suab he hadn't never met with
no barbed wire. He Jest walked around
to make eartin of things and then
Jumped in.
'Lemme tell yo that thar was mo'
fun in the next ten minits than most
b'ars and dawgs and folks hev In a hull
y'ar. Bruin started in to bust that
bar'l by huggin, but be soon gin it up.
Then he rolled It 'bout, but every time
be struck It he got a prick. Sometimes
he'd chose It, and sometimes he'd run
away from it, and be did hate to gin
up. beat It wasn't no use In him fight
in that bar'l, though, and he finally let
It go and sorter cried over It He went
off with bis head down and a homesick
shamble, and the old woman turns to
me and asks:
M ,Zeb, what'll that b'arskln be wuth
when snow flies?
" ' 'Bout $10,' says 1.
-Then yo' air $10 out of pocket
that b'ar ain't gwlne to furglve yo
fur hurtin his feelin's as yo' hev
" 'But what kin he do?'
" 'Dunno, but yo' Jest remember what
I say,'
"The old woman was right" contin
ued Zeb. "That b'ar never showed up
no mo around my place. 'Long 'bout
the fust of November I started out
with my gun and dawg to gather him
in, and I was reckonln on the value of
his hide to git boots and shoes fur the
winter. I routed him out after a long
tramp, and what d'ye think he did?
Findin that he must die, he headed fur
Bam Harper's place, three miles away,
and he actually went right up to the
float) and laid down and seemed to beg
Bam to come out and shoot' him. He
was dead and beln skinned when I got
thar, and all I got was a piece of the
fresh meat I had had a heap of fun,

winter boots to pay fur it"

GREAT STEEL STRIKE IS ON.

By Telegraph to the Horning star. -Pittsbtjbg,
August 10. The great
steel strike is on. The general order
of President Shaffer, of the Amalga
mated Association, became effective
to day and thousands of workers left
their places to return at some indefi
nitditime in the future, either victori
ousbr in humble defeat. The order to
strike was generally obeyed wherever
the workers were organized and en
rolled in the lodges of the Amalga
mated Association, but it will be Mon
day before an accurate count can be
made of the men who have gone out.
A great majority of the mills close
down on Saturday and reopen Sunday
night and the true test of the strength
of the contending sides will be fur
nished by the number of men who re
turn to work to-morrow and Monday
The policy of the American Federation
of Labor has not yet been fully demon
strated and that fact contributes an
other element of uncertainty to the
situation. The action of the executive
committee of the Mine Workers at In
dianapolis tc-day in resolving to sup
port the strikers cheered the Amalga
mated men and they are confident that
the Federation will aid them ' to the
fullest extent. The closing hours of
labor and the opening hours of the
strike lacked spectacular action.
All Quiet at Pittsburg .
This city, which is the strike center,
was calm and undisturbed. There
was no excitement or violence, and
the pulse of the community was nor
mal. The police officials issued an
order suspending for the time being
the vacation system. They do not an
ticipate trouble, but want to have
every man here and ready for duty in
case it should come. They say that
President Shaffer .has counselled
peaceful methods and that they hope
the strikers and their sympathizers
will heed his advice.
The strikers held a series of demon
strations in the outlying towns, and
President Shaffer spoke a final word
of encouragement . to his industrial
troops. Great throngs of workers
turned out to greet and cheer the
leader and exchange pledges to main -
tain the contest upon which they have
entered.
More Plants to be Dismantled.
A striking development of the day
was an official announcement from
the American Tin Plate Company, to
the effect that certain plants of the
company crippled by the strike would
be dismantled and removed to Mones-
sen. Almost at tne same time it was
unofficially announced that there was
a chance that the plant of the Ameri
can Steel Hoop Company, at Warren,
O , would be torn down and removed
to some community more favorable
to the corporation. The order yester
day directing the Dewees Wood plant
at McKeesport to be dismantled is
already being carried out and the an
nouncement from tne American Tin
Plate Company created a marked im
pression. Representatives of the
strikers insisted that the company was
not in good faith in the announce
ment, and that even if it was, it could
not win with such methods. Oppo
nenU of the strikers counted the plan
another victory, and declared .that the
strike must fail in the face of such de
cisive action. .
Offer to Arbitrate.
President Shaffer began his final
tour among the strikers early to-day.
He left Pittsburg this morning and
shortly before noon reached Newcas
tle. Two thousand organized work?
men paraded there before his arrival
and were lined up around the union
station when he arrived. His wel
come was an enthusiastic one. In the
afternoon he spoke to 6,000 Union men
in the ampitheatre in Cascade Park
and submitted an offer for, the sub
mission of the issues of the strike to
arbitration. This was his formal ten
der for arbitration :
'Now in our willingness to settle
the matter we are ready to arbitrate.
Let the Amalgamated Association
select one man and let the trust select;
the two to select the third. We will
abide by the decision of the three. I
wish this to be generally known."
The reference made by President
Shaffer to the willingness of the
Amalgamated Association to arbitrate
was followed by the announcement
here to-night in behalf of the strikers
that on Friday an offer to arbitrate
was formally submitted to the United
States Steel Corporation. According
to this statement the offer was made
to J. P. Morgan, whose reply, reject
ing it, was: "This is no time for
arbitration."
The subject was discussed on Fri
day by President Shaffer, President
Gompers, Joseph Bishop, Frank Mor
rison, M. M. uarland and an un
named official of the American Tin
Plate Company, and a basis for the
submission of the question was agreed
upon, it is said that President Shaf
fer opposed the plan at first, but was
finally won over and agreed to cer
tain concessions in behalf of the
Amalgamated Association.
The strikers are using the incident
in their fight. They say that- they
went much farther than could be ex
pected, and that they have been put
on the defensive, which threatens the
existence of their organization. r
(secretary Williams made the fol
lowing statement to the Associated
Press to-night!
"A disinterested party called at the
Amalgamated Association headquar
ters and offered to use his services
looking to arbitration of the matter in
dispute between the Amalgamated
Association ana tne united mates
Steel Corporation. 'The proposition
to arbitrate was turned down by the
United States Steel Corporation."
A Non-Union Mill.
Pittsbubo. Aug. 10. The men at
the large Riverside iron works, Wheel
ing, W. Va., obeyed the order of Pres
ident Shaffer and came out on a strike
this mornlncr. This plant was beinsr
operated as a non union mill.
Conflicting Claims.
At 1:80 this (Sunday) morning there
is such a conflict in the strike reports
that an estimate of the men who have
joined the strike is impossible. It
seems certain that tne a.ouo men em
ployed by the National Tube Company
at McKeesport will go out The strikers
claim that they will get many men in
the two Pittsburg mills of the Carnegie
Company, but the steel officials say
that none of the men will go out
Conservative opinion at Wheeling, W.
Va., awards the strikers 6,000 men in
that . district. Nine hundred men
will leave the Republic works here in
all probability. Sharon reports that
the men in the National Steel plant
will not go out The men at Bellair,
O., will go out, but Leechburg and
Hyde Park report that the men are
with the steel corporation.
PEKIN NEGOTIATIONS

Pekiit, August 10. A spirit of com
promise characterized the meeting of

noon, lightning struck the store of W.

HE MISSED HIS GUESS.
rbe Friendly Young; Man Met Wltn
a Painful Rebuff.
She was a bright, vivacious suburban
girl about 18 years old. She was almost
viciously opposed to young men who try
to begin flirtations with young women.
In short, she was from Kenwood. He
lived on the South Side and found his
way home evenings, as also did the young
woma.n, by way of the Illinois Central,
lie was only 20 and not a habitual flirt,
but he was taking his first toddling steps
into the dangerous and unknown.
The youth had seen the young woman
several times on the train, and once he
cleared his .throat and raised his hat as
Bhe passecr hini on the way out of the
train at her station. He wondered wheth
er it was the slackening speed of the cars
or a desire to get a better view of his
face which made her half pause almost
in front of him. After that day he long
ed for another opportunity to make fur
ther explorations and advance hts picket
lines At last the blessed opportunity
arrived. One evening he found the young
woman sitting by herself on the train,
which was just about to pull out of the
Randolph street station: He made for
the vacant place beside her with the
speed of a trolley car as the train started
southward.
"I beg pardon, is that seat taken?" he
asked tremblingly as the blood rushed to
his face.
"It is not," courteously responded the
young woman as she moved slightly to
ward the window to make room for him.
"Heavens, how delightfully easy!" he
thought to himself. His - head fairly
spun at this encouragement. He must
go in now to win. He must strike while
the iron was hot. But in his delirium of
joy he could not think of anything to say.
But he must say something, or the young
woman would think she had wasted her
encouragement on unproductive soil. She
would be disgusted with her lack of judg
ment in giving such a weakling a chance.
Perspiration was standing out on the
young man's brow when, grasping at a
straw like a drowning man, he turned to
the young woman and exclaimed in halt
ing tones:
"It's a pleasant evening."
The young woman turned upon him
with a peculiar kind of smile that nearly
froze him to the seat and said, "Does
oo like to wide on the choo-choo cars?
Isn't oo afwaid to wide all by ooself?"
The next second the seat at the side of
the young woman was vacant, and the
young man was disappearing- through the
rear door of the car. Chicago Chronicle.
Filtered Water.
The filtration of the water supply of
cities by means of sand filter beds, or
mechanical -contrivances, has rapidly ad
vanced in this country during the past
ten years, but it is far more general in
Great Britain than here. Mr. Allen Ha
sen, an authority on sanitary engineering,
avers that the fact is fully established
that the death rate from typhoid fever is
materially lowered by the filtration of
the water supply. In Great Britain
cities containing an aggregate population
of more than 10.000,000 people use a
sand filtered water supply, and the re
