What do the Children Drink?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
GKAIN-O? It is delicious and nourish
ing and takes the place of coffee. The
more Grain-o you give the children
the more health you distribute
through their systems. Grain-o is
made of pure grains, and when prop
erly prepared tastes liko the choice
grades of coffee but costs about one
fourth as much. All grocers sell it.

WHITEWASH A BOSS.'""
SENSATIONAL ACTION OF TH B
ANGRY WIVES.
Refused to Quit Work Would Not Join

Boston (Pa.) women bid fair to be
come as famous as the women of Mar
blehead, whose act of tarring and
feathering and riding in a cart an oD
Jectionable character of that Tillage
has been celebrated In song and story.
The women of Boston laid violent
hands on an objectionable mine boss,
and after beating him and almost test
ing his clothes off they whitewashf
him from head to foot, and, as one 5t
them remarked, "made a white sheep
of the black sheep." The Boston in
this case la not the classic town of
Massachusetts. It Is a little coal town
on the banks of the Youghlogheny riv
er, about four miles above McKees
port. The men In the mines of W. II.
Brown's Sons have been on a strike

has been violating a number of sec-
tlons of the Chicago agreement. The
principal difference is that the firm
win not pay tne price agreed upon in
mat convention and refuses to put the
coal dug by the men over a 1-lncn
screen. All along the strike" has been
a most orderly and quiet affair. For
the last four days the strikers have
been parading about the openings ot
the mines in an effort to induce the
few men still at work to come out and
Join them. Until yesterday the effort
was unsuccessful. A number of ne
groes from Lovedale Hollow were
working regularly and refused to quit.
The strikers marched up to the mines
each morning and stood on the town
ship road, watching the workers take
their Jobs. They were careful at all
times not to set foot on the coal com
pany's property. Each evening when
the men came out of the mine they
were met by the strikers and escorted
to their homes with all the tin horns,
tin cans and other noise-producing in
struments Boston could produce. The
mine boss, Andrew Borland, was on
his way to the mine when he was met
by a party of eight women, wives of
some of the striking miners. He was
asked by the women why he would not
quit and help the strikers. He gave
an abusive answer and was at once as
saulted by the women. He was knocked
down, and, after they had all taken a
turn pummellng him, one of them
shouted: "Let's make a white sheep
of the black sheep!" The proposition
was at once agreed to. While seven of
the women held him the eighth hur
ried home and got a bucket of wuite
wash and a brush. Running back, she
applied the whitewash In a vigorous
manner and soon had Borland dressed
In a suit of dazzling whiteness from
top to bottom. This done, they al
lowed him to depart. Borland threat
ens prosecution for assault and bat
tery, riot and several other charges.
IT'S PREFERABLE.
Why the Barber Wants to Become a
Convict.
"Yes, sir," exclaimed the barber, as
he gave the razor a final slap on the
strop. "I'm going out one ' of these
nights and commit murder or arson or
something." "What for?" asked the
second chair, according to the Detroit
Free Press. "So the court will sen
tence me to state's prison and I can
be a convict." "For heaven's sake,
what do you want to be a convict for?"
"It is preferable to barberlng." "How
so?" And the second chair tried the
edge of his razor on his thumb-nail.
"In a lot of waya. Ftr instance, th
convict never has to worry about clos
ing his shop nights. A feller always
comes along and closes it for him. H
does'nt get half way home on the last
car and then Jump off to run back for
the purpose of finding out if he has
locked the door. Then there's lunch
Oftentimes the barber can't take the
time to go out for a cup of coffee and
a sinker. It's different with the con
vict. He has to eat and he's never
roubled with Indigestion, either. And
he quits work at 4 o'clock, top, and
after that hour no one comes to his
door to get him out to give a haircut
to a man who's got to go to a funeral
early in the morning. The convict
?ets two months' time every year. The
barber doesn't. He's lucky if he finds
time to take a trip to Chatham. And
ihen there are the lights. The convict
doesn't have the gas shut off on him
at 7 o'clock at night if last month's
bill isn't paid. He's never troubled
with gas at all. And the rent. No,
siree, there's where the convict is
strong. He never has to worry about
the rent. There's someone paying it
or him every month. 'And clothes!
The convict never is compelled to grow
a mustache so that he can work up a
ine of credit under an assumed name
when he wants a suit of clothes. All
he does is to tell the warden about it
and the suit comes by return mail.
It's the greatest snap on earth. I'm
dek of scraping faces and paying you
'ellows $10 a week and fifty per cent
f everything over $15. I'm going into

lark nights and borrow some one's
watch and change my way of living.

last," he said, "I have arranged

Foley's Honey and Tar does not
claim to perform miracles. It does
not claim to cure all cases of consump
tion or asthma, but it does claim to
give comfort and relief in advanced
stages of these diseases and to usually
cure early stages. It is certainly
worth trying by thoso afflicted or
threatened with these dread diseases.

ACTORS REMAIN YOUNO.
Their I.I res, Though Hard and Irregular,
Are Never Monotonous.
It Is conceded that people of the
stage have a happy knack of keeping
young, gays the Denver News. When
one thinks of the hard work, the al
most constant travel, the late hours,
the irregular meals w hich are the por
tion of these followers of Thespls, ono
is amazed that their features arc not
marked more by the world's wear and
tear. And yet there are few really old
persons on the stage. One reason for
this lies In the fact that monotony ha-:
no part In their lives. The actor's
life may be hard, precarious, irregular,
but it is never monotonous. His life is
full of events and Is an ever-changing
kaleidoscope of scenes and facrs. He
may be found at a good hotel living
"like a lord," or he may be in some
"tight place" where he gets nothing to
eat. And so It goes. Tonight one sees
him sleeping on a superior hair mat
tress and wire springs. Tomorrow he
is lucky if he gets a bed at all. In
going from place to place he Is bound
to make charming acquaintances. He
doesn't know everybody in town, like
an old resident; hasn't watched them
ernw n frnm inr,v o.rn. nM
from middle age. Actors prefer to be
happy. They never go out of their way
to hunt up worries. There is no other
business which can so effectually elbow
sorrow out of the way. No matter
what load of sorrow he carries in his
heart, for a few hours each day he is
permitted a respite, for in those few
hours he is somebody else. We are
so apt to think that late hours, mid
night suppers, irregular habits, change
of water and lack of home comforts
add nails to their coffins and make
them old before their time. When
people get these ideas in their heads
and talk about their "beauty sleep"
one might think of the stage folks with
profit to himself and his friends. If we
wouldn't take It for granted that tne
Creator intended us to grow wrinkled
and gray and ugly it would be better
for us. He certainly gave us a good,
fair start In the world, and we our
selves have "done the rest." We grow
old simply because we allow ourselves
to fret and stew and worry over things
that cannot be helped the most abso
lutely asinine thing to do in this world
We talk about our ages and observe
our birthdays and go around hunting
up gray hairs and talk about them
and refuse to dance and nue a wheel
because our neighbors will accuse us of
being giddy and trying to be young
again.
JEWELED IN BARBARIC STYL1J
Chains. Ituckles, Bracelets and KarrliiR
Worn In Profusion Nowadays.
Gems and trinkets are more in evi
dence at present than for many sea
sons past. Indeed, this species of dec
oration has reached such a pitch that
in order to be strictly fashionable the
up-to-date girl must load herself in a
way suggestive of oriental splendor
Diamonds take the lead in precious
stones, and of all ornaments none for
evening wear is regarded as more es
sential than a diamond aigrette for the
hair. The wing pattern appears to be
the favorite just now, though sprays
of flowers are also greatly In vogue.
The bowknot, so popular in embroidery
and applique work, makes a pretty
diamond ornament for the hair. Side
combs are more Jeweled than ever, the
latest design consisting of diamond
walls of Troy on. the edge of the comb
Both bracelets and earrings being
again in favor, many handsome and
novel specimens of this sort are to
be seen. Turquoise, diamonds an
pearls, either singly or combined, are
the stones most used for bracelets and
earrings.
The latest novelty in corsage dec
oration is a smaller chain of gold, so
much shorter than that which we have
been wearing that it only reaches the
decolletage, and to which is attached
a round empire ornament in filigree
Buckles increase in size and costliness
and are much worn on all varieties of
gowns. Buttons really come under the
head of Jewelry nowadays. A big con
sideration in trinkets nowadays is the
Jeweled muff chain. A novelty in
these is one entirely of Jewels set
transparently in invisible frames. Of
all chatelaine developments that the
world has seen since chatelaines be
came fashionable the most elaborate
consists of a gold rope cord suspended
from the waist, to which is attached
a finely latticed gold webbing dotted
all over with small diamonds, while at
the opening of the small sack is a
spray of flowers in diamonds and
pearla.
