Hear him: many.” The bloodshed must continue until light. ) Crux of Coal Situation ‘ There are some things everybody knows. One of them is that coal is the very basis of all our industry and needed in every home where the winter is severe enough t require heat. Another is that coal is scarcer than it has beer for years and that the price is higher and more oppressive But the thing about the situation that everybody d know and for which evetybody is seeking the reason is why coal should be so scarce and why the e should be so high es not Congress is tackling it, the federal trade commission is| tackling it, the advisory commission of the national counci of defense is tackling it. There are many discussions about it. When all is said and done, the situation would seem to resolve itself down to this ' The scarcity of coal and the high price of coal are due to the fact that the railroads have not supplied to the ¢ mines the number of coal cars adequate to carry the prod- uat to market Scarcity in food products is often due to poor crops Scarcity in manufactured products is often due to inability to speed up the production. But no such thing applies to coal. There is in this country the greatest supply of un- mined and workable coal in the world. The mines already developed are capable of supplying every need of the indus trial and domestic life of our people If all the governmental and trade bodies, which are now wrestling with the question, will bring about some method of » giving ik coal miners enough cars, there will soon be more than enough coal for every use No Time for Cops to Sleep Seattle must be made safe for women! The woman slugger has got to be caught. It’s a job on which Chief Beckingham, Chief of Detectives Tennant, and their men, cannot afford to fall down. It is up to them—and Seattle will not accept excuses. Fearful of this monster who lurks in the dark, hundreds and perhaps thousands of women, terror-stricken, are afraid to trust themselves on Seattle’s streets at night. It is an intolerable condition. Seattle demands action, Messrs. Beckingham and Tennant! This is one time when the police department must not, under any circumstances, be asleep at the switch.

I fave him a knife, which he was wonderfully delighted with I showed him the ruins of our boat, which we lost when we es caped, now fallen almost to pleces. |Upon seeing this boat, Friday |stood musing a great while. At jlast says he, “We see such boat like come to place at my nation.” But he brought me better to un- éerstand him when he added with some warmth, “We save the white mans from drown.” Then I presently asked him if there were any white mans, as he jealled them, tn the boat. “Yes, [be said: “the boat full of white }rans.” I asked him how many. He |told upon his fingers seventeen. 1! asked him then what became of jthem. He told me. “They live, | they dwell at my nation,” He assured me they bad been there about four years This t ht to my mind the boat I ht I had seen before from the hilltop.

He smiled at that, and told me he could not swim #0 far. I told him I would make a canoe for him. He told me he would go if I would go with him “I go!" says I; “why, they will eat me ff I come there.” No, no,” says he; they no eat you; |much love you.” | From this time I had a mind to venture over, and see if I could “me make me make they | possibly join with these bearded }men, not doubting but, if I could, | we might find some method of en |cape from thence, being upon the | continent, and a good company to. | gether So, after some days, 1 told him I would give him a boat to go back |to his own nation; and, according. ly, I carried him to my frigate, which lay on the other side of the island, *I found he was most dexterous managing it.

He turned very quickly upon me at this, “You do «reat deal much good,” says he; “you teach wild mans to be good sober tame mans; you tell them know God, pray God, and live new life.” “Alas! Friday,” says 1, “thou knowest not what thou sayoat: I am but an Ignorant man myself.” “Yon, yes,” says he; “you teachee good, you teachee them good.” No, no, Friday,” says 1; “you shall co without me; leave me here to live by myself, as I did before.” He looked confused again at th: word, and running to one of the hatchets he takes ft up hastily, nen and gives it to me What must I do with this?” says I to him You take kill Friday,” says he. “What must I kill you for?” sald I again He returns very quick, you send Friday away for? m “What Take kil) Friday; no send Friday away.” In a word, I so plainly discov ered the utmost affection in him to me that I told him then, and often after, that I would never 1 away from me, if he was « to stay with tne.
