the soft coal suspension from here, had
nothing to give out regarding' the West

The home of a mine worker named
Jacob Musol. at Kuschke Paten, a --mail

Plymouth, was destroyed by fire today,

mine, which has be«n or ffre for many

struck ism they objected to the
"swing shift" hours under which they
had to work.
Mu»ol had been working there for some
time, and owing to the strike he has been
. living within the connnea of the colliery.
Feeling against him, his family and other
men who- are still working and who are
living in the patch, is very bitter. While
his wife was away from the place this
afternoon the house was discovered on
fire, and !n a short time it was destroyed.
Her two children were in the house and
had a narrow escape from burning.
Mrs. Mu.sol claims that because her
husband did not quit work the striker
and their sympathizers set her home on
lire. This 13 denied by the strikers, who
say that the building was fired either by
her children playing with matches or by
the upsetting of a lamp.

The modern fish story fs an interest
ing evolution. It originated undoubtedly!
with Jonah, whose record has never /been
successfully combated. Numerous mod
erns have given the ancient prophet a run
for the money, however.
When one is in search^ of fish stories
the proper place to go is, of course, to the
politicians, because they have vivid im
aginations and at the same time they
generally tell the truth, which is the
first essential of the fish story. A iisb
rtery that Old not "really happen" would
not be of much use on the market.
There are a few experts in the state
capitol.' It Is unnecessary to add that
their reminiscences are modest and v»ith
ctit prevarication. Occasionally ;t figure i
■■••. speech somewhat, extravagant in its
portent may be thrown hi to heighten the
effect. Otherwise the Incidents recorded:
are historic in their accuracy.
Sam Fullerton says he came upon an
odd circumstance the other day. A
pickerel v/as found floating upon the
cuifuce of the water by sonic rmen !
of. Crystal l^ake. One of them picked it j
Dp and slit it open with a knir'e and dis- |
covered a iive, healthy pike which the ■
pickerel had evidently swallowed whole i
■when the pike was very small. The pike ]
had grown ins:Je tl»o pickerel and had
finally, in it 3 natural expansion, crowd- \
ed Mr. Pickerel's gistard. liver, heart and
other organs together to such an extent
that the pickerel keeled over in disgust
and quit its cramped quarters. The pike
was released in the water and swam oft
in right lively fashion.

the' Northern lakes last suniwer. The
weather was. extremely hot. John had;

results and was coming home disgusted. ]
A small boy yelled to him: "Throw in
your Ime over them by them cows," In

in the water by the shore. John did as

plentiful around there when the £nra j
were in the water, and why the. cows
never save milk on hot days. On the cool
days they would not go into the water
and hence their milk supply remained in

Col. C. T. Trowbridge, when asked if
lie had ever had any fishing- experi

which I shall never forget. Shortly after
the war I was visiting a friend down
in Florida, and one warm summer day
we- went out in a great big yaw! one one

"You are entirely mistaken; by rdear

the matter or your fly being better than
mine. My : flies cost. me 10 each and axe
known as the "Hockwood" bass flies.
Tfcere arc no. better." -.
"Oh yes, the llockwood.' I remember
It very well. it is an admirable fly to be
sure— had one last year, when I was
up fishing in Canada, - but somehow," I
never did have very good luck with that
fly. It la a fine piece of art— yes. very
fine Indeed, very fine,,- but—pardon mm.
judge, but I am under the Impression j
that your fly does not conform closely
enough to the natural characteristic* of
the baas fly, and for that reason I dis
carded mine and purchased—
Y;i ; ,\ Boasrfct a M*vr Ply. .
"Ah see how gracefully it sails over
the billow's crest." he continued, as he
cast h^» line energetically—"but to re
sume. I discarded the "Hock-wood* fly. and
I have. now what is known as the "Wood
cr-uck'— lock much like a wood
chuck, but I guess it - must have been
named on account of the noble plea that
I/aniel Webster put up for the innocent
wcodchuck. with his father on the bench
—it is made especially for the brethren
of the law, you know."
"But I have had admirable luck with
j my 'Woodchuck/ and I say if the fish
don't bit© there that there are no fish In
the river. 1 went up to Canada a few
weeks ago, and with my 'Woodchuck' 1
made the best fishing record—so the
guides say, ever made in the Northern
lakes, to their knowledge.
"I mean to cast once more, and if I
don't get a bite. I am going home—how
say you. Judge Bunt"
■ "I say. I am going, too." was the reply
apparently disgusted . with his "Hock
wood," and if you will wait till I r*el
in, we'll both cast together, that may \

Slowly the • lines were reeled in. and

PERPLEX PEERESSES

LONDON". Jane 7.—One of the greatest
present anxieties of the peeresses in
view of the coronation ceremonies is how
to keep the cortnet on the head. It can
not be too rtrrriy fixed, tot it has to b-s
quickly taken off and then replaced, in
accordance with the ritual of the service.
The jewelers have been Inventing all
eorta of devices to overcome the difficul
ty. One firm punched holes in the side
of the coronets so that a hatpin could
be inserted. Another attached to coro
nets elastic bands of the exact tint of the
wearer's hair. Others gave It up and
told th«!r customers they must dress
their hair to suit the stability of the
coronet, rather than their looks.
Another serious point is how the peer
esses are to carry their costjy corunets
when th service requires tha» they be
uncovered. An ingenious jeweler devised
an arrangement of crowed bands of nar
row white .-i k inside the coro^t, in which
the peeress slips her wrist and carries
her htadptece as she.would carry an or
dinary hand-satchel.
The correct method, however, accord
ing to.the authority of .old prints of pre
vious cn".vn:: >n<r. I»l6'hold up the coro

shaped like a priest's cape, composed of
the finest cloth of gold and elaborately
embroidered In rich colon?. Unlike the
cloi.ks in which previous sovereigns were
crowned, it has no opening at the arms
and shoulders, in order to allow the pas
sage of the anointing oil. Twenty to

Ma»le »« tbr Coronation.
The masdcal ritual of the coronation
service announced today shows that for
mer settings have been closely followed,
wUh a few addition*. Chief of these
are the anthems specially composed by
Sir Frederick Bridge, organist of West
minster Abbey; Sir Walter Parratt, or
ganist of St. George's chapel royal, Wind
sor, and master of the king's music aart
Sir Charles - Hubert Ptirry, director of
the royal college of music. Tac last
named, "I Was Glad," signalize? the en
trance of the royal party into Westmlrv
«ter Abbey. >> Midway In the anthem a
break is made, so that the boys of West
minster school may air their ancient
privilege of, greeting their majesties by
shouting **vK*at Reglxta Alexandra, vi
