SOMETHING LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE
The fat men appeared TO be in it, not

were ordered to keep of the grass. y
They were inspecting one OF the burn
ing mines. walking quietly over the soft
sods surrounded BY wresthes of curling
SMOKE arising from subterranean fires,
and it was found their weight caused
several extra flssures and forced up vol
umes of smoke ten or fifteen feet
away from the original creyice. Fire
Commissioner Johnny Brennan of the
Pennsylvania Fire Brigade was called
upon to Quelch the extra flames But

THE MAYOR OF BREsLAU.
Hi Wallace was Introduced to the min
ers in the vicinity as the Mayor Of Breslau
on tour Of inspection with party of in
vestigating capitalists. Chief of Police
Murphy and Johnny Brennan prevailed
upon him to make speech, which was
greatly enjoyed None of the miners
a hox oil
An interpreter was procured, who. by a
slip of his tongue, asked the miners to
pardon Mr.. Wallace everything as this
was his ninety first birthday.
While the venerable old man was talk
ing Chief Murphy, Justice Weed and Big
Jake tossed pennies to the urchins, whose
diabolical yells accompanied the scramb
ling and utterly drowned the Breslau
Mayors speech
The rest Of the company considered
this loss not only to the staring
eyed, gaping mouthed Swedes who tried
to catch what he was driving at, but to
posterity in general, as reporter of the
Mauch Chunk Gazette declared it was
impossible to take down his speech while
those kids were yelling like pack of
hyenas."
When party headed by Jake Kramer
entered the sbucket' to be lowered
into the Hazleton mines, the big
Indian chief was introduced as the new
Scandinavian boss who had been expect
ed by the miners for two weeks. Jake
carried the joke out, for he refused to
speak word of English while he was in
the mine. The party decided to bring
him back to Jersey City and discharge
him.
BLUFFED OUT THE BRASS IDOL
After dinner the party visited Glen
Onoko. Mr.. Headley made speech
which was more historical than the
charming scenery.
The party found a large covered cage,
and man stood at the mouth of it, Yell
ing, Five cents a sight p Those who
took peep diseerned Billy Farrier try
ing to solder tail on to brass
monkey. The monster was an i'm
mense brass idol shipped some years ago
from Egypt. Its caudal appendage has
become detached and Big Jake, the
joker Of the gang, insisted that BILLY
the Tinker" (who. by the way, ID
one Of the leading plumbers of the town
was just the man to make the proper
connection. When MIR. Farrier presented
his bill the brazen Idol was heard to
admit that its own brass while considered
good enough In Egypt was evidently far
below the American article.
.Iohnny Brennan's description of the
ride. over the switchback is graphic, and
will probably appear later on. He has
been requested to talk 1t into phono-
graph SO that 1t may be reproduced for
the benefit of posterfty.
