It burst beautiful red inside put to paint the town red with water- melo That was a kind of frescoing that had never been heard of before. He bought the load of melons and burst them all upon the sidewalk and soon surrounded himself with all the small boys in that part‘of the city. A snowball battle in August ensued; the broken pieces of melon were used in place of snowballs. The boys en- tered into the sport with a zest which pleased the mining man, who now and then showed his appre ering pieces of silver among them. The play became more and more spir- ited until there were no more pieces of red left enough to throw, and the procession moved on to the post office fruit stand.

York Post: ful women, applied for coal. When vis- ited they admitted that they had plenty of work, but some neighbor had “got it,” and they wanted some, too, Seeing that there was not the shadow of an excuse for their asking for the coal, the visitor began to explain why they should not have it given to them, ply, one of them shrieked at her: “Pride, did you say? Well, I'll tell and we'll take the coal. Visits of investigation frequently result in lasting good to the benefi- ciaries, as in the case of a woman who asked for sewing to do at home, be- cause it was difficult for her to go out. It was found that this “difficulty” was caused by the lack of a thick-soled through a fracture which she had sus- tained several years ago It was de- cided at once to supply this need, but a visit was first made to her “only rela- tive,” a sister, to see if she was in a position to help. She, too, was poor, but it was learned from her that there was a brother somewhere in the city with whom they were not on good terms, and whom the sisters had not seen for years. Through the city directory he was traced and found to be in comfortable circumstances. TOO STOUT FOR COOKING. When his sister’s condition was tact- fully presented to him, he expressed for this opportunity of g her address, which he “had d that he would immedi- gratitude learni lost, ately attend were n was effected between these elderly people, which did the lame woman even more good than the shoe. A visitor, upon her first call, found at home a huge Irishman, comfort- ably eating a dinner of potatoes and codfish, his wife, a thin, faded little woman, and several pale young chil- dren, looking on. An equally thin, half-fed looking boy, of 14, the main support of this family of ten, was at home, too, that being his noon lunch hour, and had just finished his bread and tea, and was reading “Dombey and Son.” Upon inquiry as to what their trouble was, the meek little woman waited for tue head of the house to speak. In a few sec- onds he waved to her to explain, as he evidently did not wish his dinner and ss and a recone didn’t seem to be able to get no work at all.” The visitor promptly and cheerfully replied that the so- ciety could help him in that respect immediately, and wovld give him tickets to the wood yard. “Mike” suddenly became interested, and said that he did not know about taking the tickets, as he had never done thet kind of work, but added: “I'll tell you what would help—if you'll just get my wife some work.” A rather difficult case to plan for and assist in is that of a woman 40 years old, who has grown to an enor- mous size, having passed the 400- pound mark. She worked as cook, and, during her earlier years, sup- | ported her delicate mother and sis- ters, until they died. She grew too stout to keep her place in a boarding house, and some friends gave her a little furniture with which to make She absolutely refused to consider going into a mu- seum, which every one advised, and is now, modestly trying to make a living at washing. As she cannot walk a block without being utterly exhausted and creating a good deal of amusement for the neighborhood, she took in a homeless, feeble-mind- ed old woman, whom she knew to be respectable, to call for and deliver her work; and this combination promises well, as the old woman re- quired very little food or clothing. But one day the feeble-minded old woman wandered off, and now the plucky fat woman is endeavoring to get on with the occasional help of a neighbor's boy, who treats the sit- uation as a huge joke. iples the work of ; The following are reported by the New, Two sisters, unusualiy large, power- | appealing to their pride, when, in rej you what, miss; you can have the pride | boot, one ieg having been shortened ; He kept his | interrupted, so she said that “Mike | HAD FAITH IN HIMSELF.

He weat into the coal mines as a boy of 13. His school education as supplemented by night studies, chiefly upon economic questions, and especially those relat- ing to organization of labor. He joined the Knights of Labor in 1585. and ten years later, when he was 25 years old, he was elected secretary-treasurer of a district organization of the United JOHN MITCHELL.

In 1897 he was elected a national organizer, in 1898 a vice pres- ident, and in 1899 president. At the beginning of the great strike in 1909 the power of the organization was al- , most exclusively among the bituminous coal miners of the west, who had grad- ually won by “collective bargaining” much better terms as to hours, wages and treatment than were accorded tu the anthracite miners of central and eastern Pennsylvania. Among the lat- ter less than 10,000 out of 140,000 were connected with the union. The success of the strike, largely due to Mr. Mitch- ell, was followed by the accession to the union of nearly the whole body of anthracite miners, in¢luding the re- cent immigrants from eastern Europe At present, therefore, he has support- ing him 2 great organization, but the time of battle is not of his choosing. CAKES FOR CORONATION. Lendon Bakers Are Trying to Outde Each Other in Producing Elab- orate Designs, The bakers, in their efforts to tempt attention and stimulate a crav- ing for their wares, have now taken advantage of the king’s postponed coronation. While the services in the Abbey have been delayed by the illness of the king of England the bakers have undauntedly gone ahead and in many of their windows are exhibited crown cakes of the most elaborate design. Some of the cakes are, more strict- ly speaking, coronet cakes, for they have been made to resemble the ynets of earls, viscounts and dukes. “The crown proper,” said a baker, was ornamented with an enormous “king cake,” “is made of almond or cream wafer paste; the gems are smooth sugared Dra- ‘or whose window.
