sLATE-sTONE OR COAL.
Which Will YOu Have

According to mythology the Gorgons were three female monsters, who turne, ali they looked upon into stone. Pei haps the Gorgons have been inspecting the Pennsylvania coal mines at least, there is great quantity of slate-sto sold under the name of coal.
 There are frequent strikes in the coal mines. Oh, for strike in the slate mines, or better still, two strikes: first strike of consumers, or refusal by them to purchase slate-stone mixed with coal second, the miners refusing to dig slate-stone at the low wages paid fol digging coal, then we could bring the mine owners to terms and secure as good coal as we did in former years.
 As long as the consumers are willing to accept slate-stone instead of coal, just sc long will the mine owners gladly fur nish it and the railroads transport it in fact every ton of slate-stone transported by the railroads, is just so much extra and unnecessary freight that they get pay for, but would not get if the coal was pure.
 This immense shipment of slate-stone is an injustice to the purchasers and consumers of coal, and it is also an in- justice to the residents of Pennsylvania and places them in jeopardy, for it is undermining the state, taking away the very foundation stones and spreading them broadcast over New England, coy ering up what little fertile soil there is left. and unless this traffic ceases, we shall soon be justified in calling this section New Pennsylvania instead of New England.
 Don't blame your local coal dealers for selling you poor coal. They are obliged to take whatever quality of coal is thrown upon the market, but they would prefer to sell better quality and less quantity of coal to their customers rather than hear their continual grum- bling.

MEwSAw.

My ant Jermimy was mad when she red my last-week's letter, and I've had to be Oh my guard as to how cum in contact with her. It wont do to loaf in to the house kinder off-hand without keepin both eyes wide open. She haint sed mutch since the first attack when she pitched into my head with both hands and made the remark that she'd ta1n me to make fun of her heethun so- ciety and her hare, but she managed to emfysiZe the few remarks that she then made with considerable vigger even for woman, and the natural result to me was that had to git Jim Cummings to level down what was left of my hair with his sheep sheers. You see we haint got no lawn mower nor there aint no tunksorialist in our immegiate vicin- ity, so Jim does most all the hair work here and takes his pay by selling the hides and taller of all the animils that's left on the sheers when he gifts thro. I
 
 I didn't suppose Aunt Jemimy would be mad anI not let me know no more of her news or woodnt have give it away so strong that she told all she new, but there is lots of other folks in our. place besides her and shall manage to heer some I guess, tho It does seem as tho ] ieenus didn't nave no show at all no more, when a feller what has such a flow of 1t as I've got, has an ant Jermi- my who don't want him to flow 1t, and gifts mad when he tries to.
 Our minister prays for the nation just as regular as he used to before the last election. He's a Publican, or whatever you call em, which has been driv out of the Garden of Eden by the D-emokrates, or sumthing- perhaps you've heard about it. We'll it must kun kinder tufl on such ministers to have to prey for the nation with just as mutch faith while such state of affairs exhists as they did when their side held the trump card. Our minister is good sowl, and We all like him quite well, thank you.
 The new lover's telefone makes it quite handy for one couple in our place. Before they bought it, she was so short and he so tall that tliey had a mutual signal service in use when walking along the street together, for it wouldn't have looked just right you know for her to climb up long step ladder before he could make out her meaning. But now all she has to do is to give his boot strap pull and sing out 'hello, to attract his attention, when the most easy kind of talk can be indulged in just as pri- vately as anybody's courting. I haint sure about it but rather guess that one of their pet speeches must be follows:
 He; Hello, Little"
 She: Hello, Long,
 He: "Love me, Little"
 She: "Love me, Long,"
