erary l'ress.
It was almost n r.ero temperature la
his oflice when the grand promoter got
down there the other morning.
For bnlf mi hour be tried to build a
fire with sawdust and an old derby
hat. but it was no go.
If bo went up to the dentist's office
to get warm lie would be dunned for
$3 borrowed money.
That morning at the table the land
lady had glared at him.
lie must come down with the cash
or skip.
He was played out at every free
lunch place within a mile.
Never before In bis career as a grand
promoter and a grnnd deadliest hud
lie been so close to a desperate situ
ation, lie felt that he had been wrong
ed, lie felt that he was u victim to be
pitied.
In a drawer of his three legged desk
was an old revolver. He bad bought it
of a Junkman for 15 cents, and he
bad made use of it to menace his
clothes cleaner when tbat person came
up and stood in the door and Bhouted
out:
'You owe me $4, und if you don't
pay him oop I shall have you in prison
In two mlnlts!"
A sight of the deadly pistol had al
ways sent the cleaner downstairs on
the Jump and saved the major's dig
rilty. but shouldn't it be used for a dif
ferent purpose now?
The major placed the muzzle of the
weapon to bis ear and sliuddered.
, He opened his mouth, thrust the pis
tol into the cavity and sighed.
He held it against W.jKHt-a
counted twenty and-didnt pull tht
He held It against his heart and
"No. no; I will live on!" he exclaimed
as the pistol was replaced and be
stood up.
"That's right old rooster!" exclaim
ed a hearty voice at the door, and tht
major turned to behold a Jolly faced
stranger.
"What can I do for you. sir?"
"Give sympathy and help to a brother
In trouble."
"Were yon about to commit suicide?"
"I was."
"In hard luck?"
"The hardest kind." ,
"Don't do it, major. I came In here
two months ago with only $3 left I
had determined to take a desperate
thauee that Is. to iuvest my last shil
ling .with you. You sold me some sil
ver stock at 3 cents on the dollar. You
said it would soon be worth 'JO."
"But I was deceived.'-' replied the
major, who expected a blowlug up.
"You mean you lied to me-lied like
a trooper. But don't get nervous over
it I have called to thank you."
"You you have!"
"Yes. sir. I have sold tbat stock at
par!"
"And and as I put you on to a good
thing you have come to divide?"
"Xixy on the divide, major; Just my
thanks."

Washington, Jan. 5. Mustering a long

of Massachusetts yesterday charged upon

The United States guns, he figured, are
sufficient only to equip a "modest little
army of 127,hhi.
Unf. the most serious deficiency i"
army preparedness, Gardner contended, is
shortage of ammunition. He quoted Sec
retary Garrison as expecting 58,000
rounds by July 1. and argued that in a
single battle of tlie Japanese war uuu
of this amount was shot away.
'In otlipr words." he said, "eiuht field
guns can shoot away ammunition as fast
as Inele Sam can mane it.
ir told the committee they scorned
General Wotherspoons suggestion of
need for HOO.OOO men, because tney oum
not "listen to unpalatable evidence."
In conclusion, he pointed out that

VI'.. TUESDAY
500,000,000 TONS COAL.
Were Mined in United Statea During
the Year 1914.
Notwithstanding the slough of de
spond through which the coal-mining in
dustry of tho Lulled States wan com
pelled to work Us way during the last
nine months of lull, a decidedly hope
ful tone prevailed at tho end of the
year, and the opinion generally express
ed to Kdward W. Parker, statistician
of the I'nited States geological survey,
was that the receding tide had reached
its full ebb, aud optimism was apparent
regarding the coming year,. According to
Mr. Parker's estimate, which is based
upon numerous estimates received from
lending coal-mine operators and others
familiar with the industry, the total
coal production of the I'nited States
in 1U was about OlO.IMlfi.OOO short tons,
a decrease of about tin.OOO.IHK) tons com
pared with the record output of 1913.
Practically nil of this decrease was in
the output of the bituminous mines. The
production in Pennsylvania anthracite
in 1014 was not materially different
from that of the preceding year, which
was 81,718,0HO long tons. In 1914, how
ever, about 1,000,000 tons (principally
nut and steam sizes) went into storage,
so that the quantity sent to market
was about 1,000,000 tons less than in
11(13.
The principal decreases in the produc
tion of bituminous coal were in the cok
ing districts. It is estimated that in
Pennsylvania alone the production of
bituminous coal decreased between 20,
000,000 and 25,000,000 tons and that the
larger part of this decrease was in Fa
yette and Westmoreland-counties, which
constitute the Connellsville and I-ower
Oonnellsville coking districts. The week
reports of coke production published in
the Connellsville Courier indicate that
the output of coke in the two Connells
ville districts was less than that of 1913
by about 6,000,000 tons, or 30 per cent,
Rnd as each ton of coke represents about
!''2 tons of coal, a decre'asa of nearly
10,(MM(.0(Kl tons in the coal output is in
dicated in these districts alone. The
proportionate decrease in the other cok
ing districts was even greater and was
particularly noticeable in Alabama. In
West Virginia coke making has become
yearly of relatively less importance, and
although coal production in some of the
older districts showed substantial loss
es, new mines have been opened and
these have in part made up the decrease
in production in the older district. More
over, West Virginia miifes that ship to
the western statea have been called upon
to make up the shortage in those states
caused by the prolonged strike in Ihe
eastern Ohio districts, and the section
of West Virginia thus affected showed
an increased production over 1913.
Among the eastern staVs, Ohio show
ed the largest proportion of decrease for
in addition to ihe depressed condition
of business the labor controversies in
the eastern part 'of the state kept a
number of mines idle for practically tho
entire year. The .output of the state
for 1911 is estimated at lairely six er
cent of the output in 1913.
The production in the Mississippi Val
ley state is estimated to have decreased
about 10 per cent, and the estimated
decrease in the Rocky Mountain states
is betwi-en five and 10 per cent. .
On the Pacific coast the constantly
extending use of California petroleum
lor fuel is the principal factor of in
tluence in the coal industry, although
the depression in the lumber trade in
Washington had also a reflected adverse
influence on coal production, which is
estimated to have ,een about 20 per
cent less than in 1913.
The opinion "la generally expressed
that the chief effect of the war in Ku
rope upon the coal trade of the I'nited !
State was to retard or prevent nm re- '
turn to more norma 1 conditions which i
was about to be accomplished when the
war broke out. The first three months;
of 1914 weri of unusual activity, the ,
high rate of production of the preceding ,
year having Is-en carried over into the.
first quarter of 1914 and the weather in j
.lanuary and February having atimu- !
lsted tlie demand to aome extent. Then
came the slump in the iron trade, gen- j
eral depression in busine-s, shut-down
oi enke ovena. und a period of distress1
througbuut the coe'-miiiiiig regions
which has rarely been exceeded. Ihe,
demand, production and prices were all
at so low an ebb w lien the war broke
out that, it is not Is-lieved to have had
sny direct influence on the coal trade.
The quantity of coal exported from the
I'nited State, if compared with the tn- .
tal production, isn not lie intiidered
verv large, and o far the greater part
"I it gms to Cunada, which haa taken
r.hout the same amount in 1914 as in
preceding years.
A nual in tunes of depression and
of decreased piodm-timi. there waa a
plentiful supply of lahor throughout the
bituminous cvsl mining rcyion during
the entire year, and fi the aame rea
wnii tin re waa ti.v complaint of inade
quate f ranoitat ion facditiea.

There are two ways of mixing this
bread. By the first, the meal, milk, salt,
butter, and sugar are cooked in a double
boiler for about 10 minutes. When the
mixture is cool, the eggs well beaten are
added and the soda dissolved in the wa
ter. Hv the other method, all the dry in
gredients, including the soda, are mixed
together, and then the sour milk and
eggs well beaten and the butter are add
ed. If the second method is followed, the
cold water is not needed. The bread
should be baked in a shallow iron or
granite pan for about 30 minutes.

continued until at the present time the
roughage receives as much attention as
the concentrated feed, and has been
made to take, the place of a large amount
of the latter. The feeding of silage came

Decrease in Ohio Coal Mining.
Twenty million tons in the geological
survey's estimate by K. W. 1'arker, coal
statistician, for the coal production of
Ohio during 191 1. In April all the coal
miners in Ohio went on strike over the
wage scale, the matter in dispute being
whether wages should be paid on a
mine-run basis, as provided by recent
legislation. The law has been bitterly
opposed by the coal operator, and while
during tlie first three months of the
year the coal production of the state
was in per cent greater than the produc
tion for the corresponding months in
1013, practically all the Ohio mines were
idle from April to July. The Hocking
Valley district then resumed operations,
and In August the Cambridge district
also resumed. In what is known as the
No. S district (mines operating in the
Pittsmi;g No. 8 coal) the mines were
still idle at the end of the year. The
wisdom of the mine-run legislation may
well be questioned, particularly in states
where the markets requite streeneil oal,
a-? is largely the case in Ohio. However,
that may be, the labor struggles com
bined with the other unsatisfactory con
ditions have caused a decrease in the
output of Ohio mines in 1014. compared
with 1!13. ot about 40 per cent, a larger
decrease than ib reported by any other
coal-mining state. The production for

A Tennessee woman tells as follows
about magical reading as a device for in
teresting little children:
"Have you ever tried to amuse and
keep quiet a crowd of lively children by
reading aloud to them! An easy way to
excite their interest is to substitute tho
names of the children themselves for
those of the characters in the story.
This simple change acts like magic."
