We are sorry to learn of the death
of Mary Maud. daughter of Virgil
and Ida Smith, of Seattle, Washing
ton, formerly residents of our city.
Little Maud was loved by all who
knew her. She always seemed a
plant too tender for the rough storms
of this life's path, and after her
parents emigrated to Washington,
she came in contact with wither-
ing blast that SO shattered the ties
to this world, that they gave way.
and Maud's spirit returned to God
who gave it. Though this life was
short, it was long enough for pre-.
paration for the life to come. Maud
was born October l6, 1880, and in
December. 1889. she was converted

A Coon WoRx.-Three years ago
the Campbell's Creek Coal Company,
in the Kanawha Valley, commenced
the sharing of profits with its men.
and on the first occasion divided
something over $4,000. Last year
the amount was much less because
the profits were smaller. The re-
suit this year is shown in the an
nouncement that on September Goth
the company divided $4,000 among
tho men. The money is given out
in proportion to the amount of
wages the men earn, and the next
distribution will give each man an
average of about $50. Besides shar-
ing the profits the company does
sort reinsurance business among the
miners in novel and commendable
manner. In"that district the miner
is "docked," or forfeits q certain

fund the men are entitled to draw

occasions, when through numerous
demands this fund has become ex-
hausted, the firm replenished it tenn
porarily. In another way this CON-
pany and its employees have moved
together for the common good. In
that locality the public schools are
opened about four months in the
year. To continue the schools for
nine months each year, the miners
each pay twenty cents per month
into a private school fund. The re-
suits Of this plan of sharing profits
and the mutual good fellowship pro-
noted, are plainly apparent.
