Two many of us take mean things on faith and demand proof of good things. Half of us live in fear of getting useful presents that we won't have any use for. A woman under the mistletoe can look mighty unconscious if the right man is in sight. After a man gets to a certain age he has more sense than to talk about the good resolutions he will make the first of January. It is hard to understand the state of mind of a man who will slip up to innocent, happy children and hiss: "There isn't any Santa Claus." Henry Tidmore has thought it all out. He says that as all the airer ships have a tendency to fall rapidly, the solution of the problem is to turn them upside down. WORSE THAN ANTICIPATED General Funston Talks on Situation at Goidfield. Goldfield, Nev., Dec. 1 .After hav ing met and conferred with many citi zens of Goldfield General Funston Btated that he 13 finding conditions here worse than he had anticipated. 'The possibilities of further trouble growing out of the difficulties between the mine owners and the miners," he said, "are greater than my informa tion previous to coming to Goldfield had led me to believe. I have just telegraphed a second report to Wash ington which is based on the informa tion I have gathered. I do not believe the governor will declare martial law at once, as no serious disturbance has occurred. I am satisfied with this and shall not advise such action until It Is absolutely necessary. As to the I matter of patrolling the vicinity of the mines and the streets of the city with Jr the regulars, that is a procedure that may become necessary at any hour." The statement of General Funston settles effectually the question of the withdrawal of the troops from Gold field. Neither General Funston nor Gov ernor Srarks will yield to the pressure that has been brought to induce them to favor the withdrawal of the troops before the arrival of the labor com mission from Washington.

TW O SIM PERISH Another Mine Disaster Occurs, This Time io Alabama. DUST EXPLOSION THE CAUSE From Sixty to Seventy-five Men Were Entombed, but a Number Escaped Alive and thj Exact Casualty List Is Not Yet Known. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 17.An ex plosion, probably of dust, occurred In No. 1 mine of the Yolande Coal and Coke company at Yolande, thirty-ttve miles from Birmingham. Forty coffins are being prepared here to be sent to Yolande. The coffins ordered would indicate the number of dead. Within an hour after the explosion fourteen men had crawled out of the mine, all burned. Reports vary as to the number of men In the mines and whether they will be found dead. The number is placed at between sixty and seventy-five. While officials of the company were hoping against the worst a rescue party was forcing its way into the mines. Women and children and brave men stood despairingly outside the mines. But little hope is expressed that many, will get out alive. Little houses just outside of the mine were de stroyed by the immense amount of dust and timber blown out of thenext mine. At the local offices of the Yolande company the statement Is given out that there will not be many found dead, the first work of the rescue party giving encouragement. Later, however, the rescue party brought out dead and injured men con tinually. A late message from Yolands is to the effect that out of ninety men who went into the mines seventeen had been taken out alive. All hope has been given up for the others. There was great excitement around the mine and more coffins were asked for. STORM OF WIDE EXTENT Covers Greater Part of the Country East of the Rockies.
