After Coal, What?

The question need not unduly disturb
the minds of the present generation,
but it promises to come up for serious
discussion in the rot remote future.
Sanguine persons assert that invention
will produce substantiate for coal in
due time that if nothing between turns
up, science will find way to convert
water into cheap combustible. 1t is
calculated that the anthracite coal fields
of Pennsylvania will be exhausted in
about l76 years hence The average
annual qpanti-y of anthracite coal
marketed from that region is 20,000.000
tons. The area of these coal fields is
four hundred and seventy square miles.
1t is estimated that when mining began,
in 1920, there were l3, $50, 2SS, 900 tons
of marketable coal in this field. About
100000 tons have been mined and
marketed p w. Shaeher, a leading
engineer of the anthracite region, esti-
mates that the natural annual increase
in the amount of coal mined will be
such that by the year 1900 anthracite
to the amount of l,46l, 720,s27 tons
will have been mined. He calculates
that 100000 tons a year will be the
maximum annual product Of the Penn
sylvania fields, at which rate of pro-
duction there will be no more anthracite
coal at the end of l56 years from the
beginning Of the next century. Hence
the people who inhabit this country in
2056 will have to fall back on bitumin-
Gus coal, which is plentifully deposited
beneath 100000 square miles of United
States Territory.-Oakland Tribune.

Drug Store Curioslties.

A man stepped into Reading drug

fident air of one who knew exactly
what he wanted
"Got any roach powder?' "Oh, yes,

placed upon the counter in front of his
customer q bottle of "Surc Death to

THE STORY OF LIFE.

One by one the duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go TO each;
Let no future dreams elate thee.
Learn thou first what these can teach
One by one (bright gifts from Heaven)
Joys are sent thee here below,
Take them readily when given,
Ready too TO let them 60.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee;
Do not fear for an armed band,
One will fade while others greet thee;
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow;
See how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for tomorrow,
SO each day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to DO or bear;
Luminous the crown and holy
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting.
Or for passing hours despond.
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are GOLDEN links, Gods token,
Reaching Heaven; but one by one
Take them, let the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage oe done.

A POetical Criticism.

An apparently good, but evidently
red headed young man, came into this
Office yesterday and left the following,
concerning which he desired the careful
and unbiased Judgment of the gentleman
whose painful duty it was to examine
such matter
"Meet me, darling Bessie. by the old mill
stream,
When the clocks are striking eight.
I will be there alone. my darling one.
To learn what shall be my fate. >"
The first thing in this poem that
strikes the attention of the critical OBJ
server is the bad taste displayed in
choosing the TRUSTING place. Even in
the Summer, mill stream is not exactly
the spot that sensible girl would select
for meeting the young man upon whom
she calculated to bestow her affections
and dry goods bills for life. There are
necessarily two sides to stream, and
during the period of mild lunacy which
invariably attends the earlier stages Of
love, it is betting point that if the girl
was to accept the invitation extended in
the above verse it would only be to dis
cover that her poetical swain was on the
other bank and no bridge within half a
mile-a condition of things admirably
calculated to cool the ardor of both par
ties. Then again, it is manifestly unfair
to expect girl to go prowling up and
down creek in search of young man,
although the industry displayed by
woman in the pursuit and capture of
the opposite sex is proverbial. The
young mans assurance that he will be
there alone is uncalled for as in affairs
of the heart it is not customary to secure
the assistance of brass band or squad
of police. On the whole, we think the
golden haired poet better so up to the
girls house-taking care to select
night when the Old man is out and
read his effort to her. Then, if she has
any desire to explore the mill stream,
her ambition in that direction may be
gratifed at some future time.-Chcago
Tribune.

A Touching Home Picture.

The present King of Denmark, IL is
said, is regarded more as an indulgent
father than a monarch by his people.
His kingdom is, fortunately, not too
large for him to maintain a watchful,
kindly guardianship over every village
and district, and many are the stories
told of his sudden interference Qike the
good, powerful genii of the fairy tales
in some cases of individual suffering
His children have inherited his integ-
rity and gentleness; and the simple, sin
cere qualities which would have made
them beloved as peasants have brought
to them passionate homage in their high
positions. Alexandra and Dagmar, the
future Queen of England and Empress
Of Russia, are probably more beloved by
the English and Russians, though for
eigners, than any members of the royal
families into which they have married
There was something peculiarly simple
and touching IN the domestic life at the
royal palace at Copenhagen during last
Summer. The good old King gathered
all his children and grandchildren about
him and the Royal and Imperial High
nesses, old and young, behaved very
much as an American family would do
who had come home to "grandfather's"
for Thanksgiving
The little palace was so full that some
of the princes had to be lodged outside.
There were family dinners, where the
heirs to the most powerful thrones in
the world told anecdotes of their boys
and babies just like other fond, foolish
parents.
The old King walked out every day,
pleased and proud, with his grandchildren
about him. The pleasantest day of the
Summer, probably, was one when the
Princess of Wales, the Czarina of Rus
STA and the Crown Princess of Denmark
took their children and went out of sight
Of everybody to lonely island, not for
a state excursion, but for a real homely
picnic.
The children played in the sand, and
their mothers sat on the beach talking,
no doubt as they did when they were
girls together.
The whole kingdom rejoicei in this
happy homecoming. When the day
for parting came, the entire population
of Copenhagen closed their houses and
repaired to the shore to bid farewell to
their beloved princesses. Women cried
and men shouted as the ship parted her
moorings, and the air was rent with pas
sionate cries of,
"Good-bye Dagmar y
"God keep you, Alexandra y
Opposed to this picture is that of the
Gar Of Russia, whose power is absolute
over the most mighty kingdom in the
world, yet who goes abroad but seldom,
it Is said, and then in an agony of &C
tual terror for fear of assassination.

1t was a piece Of glazing injustice, not to
characterize it as indecent, on the part OF the
republican convention on Tuesday TO refuse to
instruct its delegates to Springfield in favor of
Gov. Cullom. They certainly could have no
objection to him on the score of any lack as a
stalwart republican, while aside from his poll.
tics he has through his whole administration
shown himself such an earnest friend of the
canal and the improvement OF the Illinois riv.
er and of the shipcanal project that he deserved
the compliment Of an earnest endorsement
from La Sale county more than from any 9th
er county in the state.

Our representative, Mr. Hayes, sends up
quite shout over the fact that through tho
persuasion of the Illinois members, for which
he takes the chief credit to himself the house
committee on river and harbor appropriations
have agreed this year to allow 100000 for the
Improvement of the Illinois river against $50,
600 voted last year Mr.. Hayes might rs well
claim it as also due to his tremendous influence
that the appropriation tor the Chicago harGor
has been nearly doubled and that IN fact all
the usual river and harbor appropriations are
enlarged, 50 as 10 add nearly S3000OOO to the
usual sum appropriated by that bill Besides
the bill has yet to pass the two houses and
there is no telling how much the different

SLIGHTLY DIsCORDANT--Mr Cullcn's pa
per, the Ottawa RtpuJAcaa, denies emphatic
ally that any delegates to the Republican
County Convention on Tuesday disregarded
their instructions to vote for Bushnell and
voted for Cullen. On the other hand the Otta-
wa WocheHJlatt, which through the whole con-
test had been friendly to Cullen, says that, "at
the last moment several delegates, in one case
the whole delegation of a town, IN direct oppo-
siton to instructions, voted for Cullen, on be
ing assured that Cullen was running on the
socalled Temperance Ticket"
This chimes IN with a statement made by a
gentleman who AYERS that IN his presence on
the court house steps Appointment Ottawa tenn
perance man, arguing against Bushnell with
certain country delegates who were instructed
to vote for hlm, solemlly assured them that
Mr.. Bushnell was a habiual drunkard, and
that no later than last Sunday morning he
entered the Congregational church in a state
of beastly intexication.

dozed." Overlooking the eXecrable pun, what
sort of an apology will the delegates who came
to the convention instructed to vote for man
of brains have to offer to their constituents tor
going back on their instructions and voting for
a chipmunk politician because they didn't
like the manner and gestures of Mr. Bull, the
curl Of his lip and turn of his nose?

Mr.. Fletcher partner Of the Hon. =. c,

Mr.. Fletcher, partner OF the Hon. L. e.
Hayes in the publication OF the Morris Her.
ald, was present at the Republican convention
in Ottawa on Tuesday, and thus gives his idea
of It's outcome
The convention was organized and every
move made in the interest OF Washington
Bushnell for congress, but the ovcrZealous
work Of his adhcrents caused the bottom t.
fall out, and their wclldeviSed scheme to con
troll the convention IL his interest fell to the
ground. s. Gen. Hayes had
thirtv.onc delegates in the convention which,
allied to the forces of Mr. Cullen, was suili'
cicnt to control the convention, and resulted
in the defeat of Washington Bushnell, Hayes
followers voting for Cullen IN choice of can
dIdates. No instruction was given she dele
gates to the congressional convention, and on
the delegation are five outright Hayes dele
gates of the sixteen from that county, and it Is
generally conceded that he will have the solid
delegation after the first ballot This virtually
settles the congressional question in this dis
trICt and secures the denomination of General
Hayes.
1t is the same old story as told 10y the York
willie R,ro,d and indeed the indiSputablc fact.
Bushnell had an undoubtcd majority Of from
, 10 10 III iuc Cpl'thtOH' but WIS uICht1 wa
OF the delegates through the "oyer2eal' or mis-
OF his friends. In other words,
the opponents Of MIR. Bushnell played their
cards SO skilfully tina, they won though hold
ing the weaker Land. The question is, will
the Republican voters of La Sale county be
to be thus "trcked" out of their choice
and to have the vote Of the county in the con
convention cast for man who could
muster less than fourth of the delegates I'M
