WHO SAID COAL IS HIGH? -BIG, slow-going man bulgy shoulders was over at the museum the other day. After passing from one exhibit to the next—sometimes 'dazed, some- times comprehending, but always reg- istering set intentness—he finally reached the art gallery, where he | seemed surprisingly at home. For one thing, he cupped hand to eve, in ac- cordance with artistic formula, and, in one instance, was backing regard- lessly to get a proper perspective, when another visitor gripped his arm in time to prevent his backing into a statue on a pedestal, the next step behind. And when the poor old chap saw what he had missed his ears turn- ed the red of sumac: i “Much obliged, ma'am. If I had tumbled that lady oft her perch I might have made out to pay the in- stitution her worth in money, but I These Low Prices Tell The Story / Why We Are Busy Filling Coal Bins Semi-Bituminous BRIQUETS Anthracite BOULETS Dirt; i should never have forgiven myself. ; makes a quick, hot My son is an artist. I'd hate him to fire and holds the heat. know 1 came so near smashing a beautiful statue like that.” And while he blamed himself for not looking where he was going and the museum for not protecting the figure with an iron railing to keep some other clumsy man from “butting her to shivers,” the woman'put in a word or two, and—that was all there was to it—unless you might be flighty-minded enough to think & thing along this line: The chained lady*—replica of Hiram Fill your bin now.

For why? Had he knocked her from base and shattered her to pleces she would no longer have been Hiram Power's “slave.” And if you are not a slave, naturally, you are free.

WASHINGTON BALTIMORE PHILADELPHIA ——— NEW YORK torn-up state of indecision between flambouyant Brussels and a Wilton of monk-brown seasoned with gray— a contest between inward desire and austere style—another woman came along to look at curtains. A clerk, alertly attentive, showed her a dozen patterns. She considered them carefully, but was not quite satisfled. The clerk sent up to the stockroom for more curtains, and for nearly an_hour explained the ad- vantage of Nottingham, nets, madras and muslin. Then she thought she ought to look at brocade and damask draperies, and how about tan linen shades? By that time the rug customer had decided on an Axminster that was smaller and cost more money, but, having _fountain-penned her ~check, deal would turn out. You know how women are! The clerk was obviously weary and doubtless needed his lunch, but. wise the knowledge that a woman naturally wants to be sure of a thing that is to last year in and out and 1 2 cost her a good little pile of money, j £ he was continuing zealously to make . a sale, when she look t her wrist watch and remarked, with an air of ality: “That will be all, thank you. I am not needing curtains just now, but at the club the other night when dra- peries came up for discussion I found I knew so little on the subject that, having an hour on my hands, I de- cided to study it up. Interesting, isn't it? I really didnt think there was so much to it"” Mad? You bet he was mad!

Some folks pretend ig- norance, of course, after they come into money, but it is all bunk—and bunk doesn’t count. “Do you know it costs a whole lot more to be poor than it does to b rich? The poor customer is the gro- cer's best customer because he buys | by ounces instead of by pounds and gets no benefit of the half cents. Once in a while somebody starts a crusade for that half cent, but it never amounts to anything for the reason that -retail business wouldn't stand for it. Here's another thing: W. I was a small chap and needed a meal I could get a job holding horses. There's no counting how many thou-} sands have been saved from starva- tion holding horses. And now there are no horses. “Once, when my mother had mno for the rent, she pawned my father's watch. It brought enough to square the landlord and feed us until she got work. You couldn’t tide over starvation and eviction by that method these days. There are np pawnshops.

FORT COLLINS, Col., September 17. —Gregory Aubuchon, eighteen years, missing tourist of Michigantown, Ind., found a grave in a midsummer snow bank at the base of a 2,800-foot cliff of Long Peak, Rocky Mountain Na- tional Park. His body was discovered yesterday by forest rangers after rain and sun had melted the snow which covered his body. The youth, with his parents, had been touring the park in the latter part of July. The boy left Estes Park one morning to climb to the top of Long’s Peak and failed to return. 1. C.
