Evil of Idleness.
Work develops all tho good thcro Is
In a man; Idleness all tho nvll. Work
sharpens all hla faculties and makes
'him thrifty; Idleness makes him lazy
and a spendthrift. Work surrounds
.a man with those whoso habits nro
Industrious and honest; In such so
ciety a weak man dovolops strength,
and a strong man Is made stronger.
Idleness, on tho other hand, Is opt to
throw a man Into the company of men
whoso object In life Is usually tho
pursuit of unwholesome and demoraliz
ing diversions. Darius Ogdcn Mills.
A Painful Occasion.
"What Is tho trouble next door?"
"Little Tommy Tibbies Is giving a
coming out hawl."
"A coming out ball? I don't under
stand." "Ills father has Just released him
after a short session In tho wood

A One-Ringed Circus.
""There's a ring around tho moon."
"I guess the man In It Is having a
circus."

Up'to this tlmo tho press had been

tho deeper deeps of rancor and savogo

herself was dragged out of her grave
nnd paraded 011 thousands of reams
of paper as a martyr and a victim to
Daylight's ferocious brutality.
He was Ilka a big bear raiding a

A Sudden Envy of This Young Fellow
Came Over Daylight.
recognized until Daylight hnd plckod
up with htm. It wna Hegan who guldod
Daylight through tUo Intricacies of
modern politics, labor organization,
and commercial and corporation law.
It was Hegan, prolific of resourco and
suggestion, who openod Daylight's
yes to undreamedof possibilities in
twontloth-contury warfare, and It was
Daylight, rojectlng, nccoptlng, and
elaborating, who planned tho cam
paJgns and prosecuted them. With tho
Pacific coast, from Pugot Sound to
Panama, buzzing nml humming, nnd
with San Francisco furiously about his
eaiB, tho two big steamship companies
had all tho appcaraico of winning. It
lurked as If Hurnlng Daylight was be
ing boaten slowly to his knees. And
then ho struck at tho steamship com
panies, at San Pianclsco, nt tho wholo
Pacific coast.
It was not much of a blow at first.
A Christian Endeavor convention was
bofng held in San Francisco, n row
with started by lixpross Drivers' Union
No. 027 ocr tho hnndllng of a small
hc'ip of baggage at Kerry Ilulldlng. A
fow heads wero broken, a scoro of ar
rests mado, and tho bnggngo was de
livered. No ono would hnvo guossed
that bohlnd this pett wrnnglo was
tho flno Irish hand of Ilogon, mado
polont by tho Klondiko gold of Hum-
I Ing Dayliput. It was an inslgnlncnnt
nffnlr at or bo It seemed Hut
tho Tcaiustis' Union took an tho
strlko becamo involved. A refusal of
cooks and waiters to Bervo scab team
sters or teamsters' employers
brought out tho cooks nnd waiters.
Tho butchers and meat cutters refused
to hnndlo meat dostlnod for unfnlr
restaurants. Tho combined Employ
ers' Associations put up n solid front,
and found facing them tho 40,000 or
ganized laborers of San Frnnclsco
Tho restaurant bakers and tho bakery
wagon drivers struck, followed by tho
milkers, milk drivers and chicken
pickers. The building trades asserted
Its position In unambiguous terms, and
all San Francisco wns In turmoil.
Hut still, It was only San Frnnclsco
Hegnn's Intrigues wero mnstorly, and
Daylight's campaign steadily dovel
oped. Tho powerful fighting orgnnl
zatlon known as tho Pacific Slope Sea
man's Union refused to work vessels
tho cargoes of which wero to be
bundled by scab longshoremen and
freight handlers Tho union presented
its ultimatum, and then called a strike
This had been Daylight's objective all
tho time. Every incoming coastwise
vesfiol was boarded by tho union olll
clals and Its crow sont nslioro And
with tho seamen went tho firemen, tho
engineers and tho sea cooks and
waiters. Dally tho number of idle
steamers increased. It was Impossi
ble to get scab crews, for the men of
tho Seamen's Union wero fighters
trained In tho hard school of tho sea,
and when thoy went out it meant
blood and death to scabs. This phase
of tho strike spread up and down the
entire raciflc coast, until all tho ports
wero filled with Idle ships, and sea
transportation was at a standstill. The
dnys nnd weeks dragged out, and the
strlko hold. Tho Coastwise Steam
Navigation Company and tho Hawaii- 1
an, Nicaraguan, nnd Pacific-Mexican
Stcnmship Company wore tlod up com
pletely. The expenses of combating
tho strlko wero tremendous, nnd they
wero earning nothing, whllo daily tho
situation went from bad to worse, un
til "peaco nt any prico" becamo tho
cry. And still there was no poacc,
until Daylight and his allies played out
their hand, rnked in tho winnings, nnd
allowed a goodly portion of a conti
nent to rcsumo business.
Daylight's coming to civilization hnd
not improved him. True, ho wore
hotter clothes, hnd lcarnod slightly
hotter manners, nnd spoko better Eng
linb. Hut ho had hardened, and nt tho
cxponso of his old-tlmo, wholosouled
geniality. Even his human ntnilatlons
wore descending. Playing a lone hand,
contemptuous of most of tho men with
whom he played, Inciting In sympathy
or understanding of them, and certain
ly Independent of thorn, ho found lit
tle In common with thoso to bo en
countered, sny at tho Alta-Paclflc. In
point of fnct, whon tho battlo with tho
steamship companies wnsat Its height
and his raid was inflicting Incalcula
ble damage on nil business Interests,
ho had been asked to resign from tho
Alta-Paclilc. Tho Iden had been rath
or to his liking, and ho had found now
quarters In clubs like tho Itlvorslde,
organlzod and practically maintained
by tho city bosses,
Ono week-end, feeling heavy and de
pressed nnd tired of tho city and its
wnys, ho obeyed tho Impulse of a
whim that was later to play an impor
tant part In his life. Tho deslro to
get out of tho city for a whiff of coun
try air nnd for a chnngo of scene was
tho causo. Yet, to himself, ho mado
tho excuse of going to Glon Ellen for
tho purpose of Inspecting a brickyard
which Holdsworthy had sold him. Ho
spent tho night In the little country
hotol, nnd on Sunday morning, astrido
a saddlo horse rented from tho Glen
Ellen butcher, rodo out of tho village.
Tho brickyard was close at hand on
tho flat bosldo tho Sonoma Creek.
ltcsolvlng to have his fun first, and
to look ovor tho brickyard nftcrward,
ho rodo up tho hill, prospoctlng for a
way crosB country to get to the
knolls. Ho left tho country rond at
tho first gato ho enmo to and cantered
through a hnyflold. Tho grain was
wnlst-hlgh on cither sldo tho wagon
road, nnd bo sniffed tho wnrm aroma
of it with dollghto'l nostrils. At tho
baso of tho knolls ho encountered a
tumblo-down Btakound-rldor fonco.

Fancy Job of Trucking That Takes
tho Minds of Financiers
Off Money.
Flnanco Is what engages It mostly,
but Wall street can sparo a momont
for other things that aro Interesting,
as It Is doing occasionally Just now to
look on nt somo exhibitions of fancy
trucking.
Tho structural stool for tho now
building going up on Wall and Nassau
streets is landed from lighters nt a
South street wharf at tho foot of Wall
streot, so it Is only a short haul from
tho wharf to tho now building, though
It's n lively ono.
Somo of tho supporting columns on
pillars going into this building weigh
from 25 tons to 30 tons each, but
thoy are handled easily. Thoy bock
ono of thoso long and pot Jerous
trucks with low, brond-rlmmcd. heavy,
solid Iron wheels down on tho wharf,
nlongBldo tho lighter, and then tho
lighter's steam derrick lifts off Its
deck ono of thoso 30-ton pillars and
lays It gently on tho truck, doing this
quickly nnd easily.
To huul this load thoy hnvo hooked
to tho team bovcii pairs of big horsiau,
a team of 11 Screes, all used t tu
business and Ml vulllng ably.
All ready, tha drlvor mounts to a
scat ou tho forward end of tho big
pillar on tho truck, which puts him
high In tho air, and gathers up his
lines. Thero aro three other men scat
tered nlong tho team ns leaders and
guides for tho horses, and then with
out flummery or ceremony thoy get
nway, stnrtlng the great load easily
There's a broad, easy Bweep from
tho wharf Into tho broad lower end of
Wall Btreet and tho outilt makes this,
describing a great arc, and then It
straightens out for tho run up Wall
atreot. It's nn up grndo all tho way
from South stteet to Broadway, but
tho team takes it easily on a steady

Nothing could satisfy his holiday spir
it now but the ascent of Sonoma Moun
tain. nd hero on tho crest, threo
hours afterward, he emerged, tired and
sweaty, garmonts torn and face and
hands scratched, but with sparkling
oyes and an unwonted zestfulness ot
expression. Ho felt tho illicit pleas
ure of a schoolboy playing truant. Tho
big gaming tablo of San Francisco
seemed very far away. But thero wna
moro than Illicit pleasure in his mood
It was as though ho wero going
through a sort of cleansing bath No
room hero for rll tho sordldness,
meanness and vlciousness that filled
tho dirty pool of city existenco. Ho
was loath to depart, and It was not
for an hour that ho was able to tear
himself nway and take tho descent of
tho mountain. Working out a new
route Just for tho fun of it, late after
noon was upon him whon ho arrived
back t tho wooded knolls.
Daylight ca3t about for a trail, and
found ono leading down tho side
opposlto to his nscont. Circling tho
baso of tho knoll, ho picked up with
his horso and rode on to tho farm
houso. Smoko waii rising from tho
chimney, and ho was quickly In con
versation with a nervous, slender
young man, who, ho learned, wai only
n tenant on the ranch. How large
was It? A matter ot one hundred nnd
eighty acres, though it seemed much
larger. This was because it was so
Irregularly shaped. Yes, It Included
tho clny-plt and all tho knolls, and its
boundnry that run along thu big can
yon was over a mllo long. Oh, yes,
ho and his wlfo manaaed to scratch
a living without woiklng too hard.
Thoy didn't have to pay much rent.
Hlllard, tho ownor, deponded on tho
incomo from tho clny-plt, Hlllard was
well off and had big ranches nnd vino
yards down on tho flat of tho valloy.
Tho brickyard paid ten cents a cubic
yard for the clay. As for the rest of the
ranch, tho land was good in patches,
where it was cleared, llko tho vege
table garden and tho vineyard, but tho
rest of It was too much up-and-down.
"You'ro not a farmer," Daylight
said.
Tho young man laughed and shook
bis head.
"No; I'm a telegraph operator But
tho wife and I decided to tnko a two
years' vacation, and . . . hero wo
aro. But tho time's about up. I'm
going back Into the offlco this fall
after l get tho grnpjs off."
As Daylight listened, thcro camo to
him a cudden envy of this oung fol
low living right In tho midst of all
this which Daylight had traveled
through tho last few hours.
"Wha In thunder nro you going
back to tho telegraph office for?" ho
demanded
Tho joung man smiled with a cer
tain wilfulness.
"Uecnuso wo can't get ahead hero.

"and becauso, thoro aro added ex
