When the southern lady left town and moved to the old manor house of her ancestors, she was accompanied by her maid. “And now, Lucinda,” remarked the mistress, as she showed the maid through the gloomy old mansion, “here are the haunts of my great-grandpar- | ents.” The next day Laucinda packed her trunk and started for the station. “But what n the world is the mat- ter?” demended ber mistress, in sur- prise. “Haven't we treated you | right?” “Oh, yes,” assured Lucinda, keep- ing an eye on the dark, wide hall- ways. “Then why in the world are you leaving without notice?” “Ah cag’t belp it, missus; Ah can’t help it. Ah couldn't think ob workin’ any place where dere was ha'nts.” The New Arrangement.

At lagt he reached the front ranks. He waved his sword. With a wild cheer the shaitered ranks closed up. Led by tkat intrepid man, they advanced. Everywhere the enemy gave way before him.

RERARRARIKRRNS Price of Anthracite Coal Must be Increased within Short Time, Declares a Philadelphia, Pa., April 22.—The price of anthracite coal must be in- creased within a very short time, was the declaration today of George E. Stevenson of Scranton, Pa., a mining expert, called as a witness by the Tem- ple Iron company, one of the defend- ants in the suit of the government against the anthracite railroads and a number of coa] companies to dissolve the alleged “trust.” This step, witness said, must soon be taken if the operators are to make any money for the stockholders of their companies, Mining Expert. The witness told of the worked-out condition of the mines in the Luzerne and Lackawanna county flelds and said it was possible to travel under- ground in some places in the coal re gions for a distance of 40 miles in a single direction. The witness said that the present price of coal at tldewater was justi- fied by the increased cost of labor and materials and because of the rapidly decreasing sizes of veins of coal and the added cost of mining in the small places, o TROUT WELL FED. ‘ High Water Has Supplied Them With Plenty to Eat. The story related by one local man who tried his luck at fishing for trout, says the Danbuury News, may in a measure explain why there are no large catches of the speckled beauties. This fisherman states that after fishing all day without having even a single nib- ble to repay him for his trouble, he came upon a large “hole” in the brook, into which a swift little current ran, | making an eddy on the surface. He crawled carefully along the bank and peeped over and saw five large trout, headed up stream, their sides glisten- | ing in the rays of the sun. He balted his hook with the most toothsome worm in his collection and | allowed it to float down with the cur- | rent into the “hole.” He held the bait | temptingly before the trout, but they pald no attention to it. After trying his for some time he gave up in de- | spair and came home with an empty | basket. A member of the Pahquique Gun | club, who has made a study of trout angling in these parts, reports that the circumstance just told of is due to the fact that the heavy rains have raised the brooks and washed the banks, and in this way have furnished more than enough food for the inhabitants of the brooks. He quotes his own experience of a few days ago. When he was tak- ing the hook from the mouth of a large trout he had just taken from a brook he was surprised to find the fish so | gorged with worms that they could be | seen lodged in its throat. He exam- ined others of his catch, snd found each to be lined inside with the fat- | test of fat worms. | “] was surprised,” he these fish, so well fed, should have been tempted by the worms on my hook, as they had all found ample food in the brooks. Until this state of high streams is changed and the water low- ers enough to make it impossible to wash food from the banks there will be few large catches recorded. At least | that is my opinion.” ( A | said, ‘‘that Question of Precedence. | Recently a dispute was raised as to 'whether a certain lawyer or a certain doctor was to have precedence at a funetion at which both were to play prominent parts. It was impolitic to allow either of these two men to be offended. While the discussion was | under way as to which was to be seated next the speaker, an old poli- tician in the room, said the discussion was one which he thought he could settle by giving them the words of the great Diogenes who had sald upon an ancient occasion: “Let the thief go | hefore; let the executioner follow aft- er.” The politician said he thought | that mean the lawyer should have first place and the doctor come next. | The Old English “Tumbler.” | The old-fashioned English tumbler, | which insisted on reverting to an erect position, no matter how frequently it was knocked over, possessed morltl.l This was the original form of drinking tumbler—hence the name. They were made of thin horn and weighted with a bulbous mass at the bottom. The idea of their use was a double one. | The old drinking custom required that | the ale should be drunk at a draft— for its presence in the tumbler would | cause it to overbalance and spill its | contents—and there was the advan- tage possessed by the tumbler of not roling out of reach whem knocked about during orgles. - The Way to His Vote. Lord Beaconsfield’'s skill in picking up stray votes was well known. An il- | lustration of it is given in a recent | book by Mr. Henry W. Lucy.

YOUNGSTERS TAUGHT TO SMOKE, Two Centuries Ago English Children Carried Pipes to School. The practice of juvenile smoking in this country in the seventeenth cen- tury was practically universal, says Jorevin de Rochefort, a French traveler of that period, in an account published in 1871 gives a description of an evening he | spent in Worcester. He was catechised by one of the townsmen as to the hab- its of the French poeple: “While we were talking about the town,” he writes, “he asked me if it was the custom in France, as in England, that when the children went to school they carried in their satcheis with their books a pipe of tobacco which their mother took care to fill early in the morning, it serving them instead of breakfast, and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside his book | to light his pipe, the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw their to- bacco, thus accustoming them to it from their youths, believing it abso- lutely necessary for a man's health.” HOW BEETHOVEN BECAME DEAF. Injured in Excees of Anger Caused by Importunate Tenor. Beethoven gave the following ac- count of how he became deaf to Charles Neate: “I had to deal with a tiresome and capricious tenor. I had already- writ- ten two great arias to the same words, neither of which pleased him, and also a third, which he did not care for the first time he tried it, but which he took away with him. I was thanking heaven that I was rid of him and had | settled down to something else when in less than an hour I recognized his knock at the door. “] sprang up from my table in such a rage that as the man came in at the door T flung myselt on the floor as they do on the stage I fell on my hands, and when I got up I found I was deaf. The doctor sald I bad in- jured the nerves.” Lovers of the great master can oc- cupy themselves thinking of things they would like to do to the luckless tenor. Why They Quit the Farm. One farm hand has learned the cause of so many sons and daughters | and well-meaning, reliable farm hands | leaving the beautiful farm and coun- try and going to the city. A lack of | order and system on the farm and too long hours for a day are what is driv- ing the best minds from the farm to | the ecity and shop, he says.

Whenever two-year-old Ruland bumped his inquisitive head or bruised tis adventurous body a bottle of some good old-fashioned lotion was brought out and some of its soothing contents applied to the Injured part. Recently Ruland received his first spanking, an experience which was to him totally new, strange and mystifying. About all he understood of it was that it hurt and immediately after being al- lowed to wriggle off of the maternal knee he toddied toward the sheif on which stood his old friend, the bottle, and with hands upraised cried implor- ingly: ‘Botty, botty, give Wuland botty wick.”—Kansas City Times My lady is beautiful, no matter what sort of hat she wears.—Memphis Commescial Appeal COAL AND LUMBER. .
