Man is full Of admirable and useful reflections

case there seems to be two points of more than
especial interest 70 be remarked upon: First,
the issue or transfer of stocks or bonds
should not be made in these days OF trust
companies in the Office of the corporation
issuing them. For the amount of money re-
quired to pay second-class clerk company like
the Chesapeake 81 Delaware Coal Company can
hire responsible corporation to register and
transfer securities. and this method is not only a
certain preventive of dishonesty, but guard
against clerical and all other errors. Second,
Directors ought to direct and oversee the affairs

Senator Hearst is not mean; on the contrary,

the habit of releasing his grip dollar until he

This inquiry was made by fellow who darted
out of dark doorway, near the Senator's news

third story of a rookery. There were three
children, decentlooking woman and sewing

They were very poor, and often hungry. All
their troubles came from the drunkenness of the
husband. That culprit sullenly owned to the

gave the woman sum of money that made her
speechless.

SHENANDOAH Pa. July 2.-When the miners
employed at the Knickerbocker colliery. near
here. went to work this morning, a large volume
of smoke was seen issuing from the month of
the slope, which prevented their entrance. The
mine was then entered by another entrance and
the engine house at the foot of the slope was dis
covered to be- in flames. Work was suspended
at the colIiery and all the hands that could be
sent down were put 70 work to extinguish the
flames, which by that time had spread TO the
coal and threatened the destruction of the col
liery. All the force that can be concentrated on
the work is now fighting the flames, with hopes
of finally suppressing them. The origin OF the
fire is not known.

A correspondent questions an allusion in this
paper to Judge David Davis as ''the largest man
who ever occupied a seat in the United
States Senate" Dixon FL. Lewis. who repre-
scented Alabama in the Senate from 1874 to
1853 was huge mar, and probably larger than
Davis was in his biggest days, for he had lost
much flesh in the last few years of his life.
Speaking of Lewis, our correspondent gives an
instance of his gallantry Until about 1916 the
United States mail between Wilmington. N. c.,
and Charleston, S. c., was carried by steam
ers. One moonlight night the two vessels, going
in opposite directions, got into collision, and it
was soon found that one was sinking. The mails
and passengers on board we're transferred 70 the
other vessel, and the last man to leave the sink
ing ship was the Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, who
waited till all the others were saved for fear of
capsizing the boat used in the transfer.

ditors: IF I had preached such sermon as
that of last night to a negro congregation in

that it establishes the measure of Mr. Jon es's
