A GhaslIy Talisman.

"Better than rabbits foot"
"Better than finding a horses hoe. y
"Or four-leaf clover"
So spoke a number of hangers -on
at the police court yesterday.
"What are you referring to-"
asked friend.
"To bit of hangman's rope. It's
the best talisman in the world.
Every crook carries a piece. It's
for good luck. About every third
crook arrested has bit of rope in
his pocket He would rather lose a
thousand dollars than part with
that piece of rope. If he did part
with it his luck would turn. The
Sergeant always returns it when the
crook gets out of Jail and demands
his property.

Tho earliest record of the mining
and practical use of coal appears in
English documents between the
years 1910 and 1919. A few years
later charter was granted by the
king to the inhabitants of Newcastle
to dig for coal, large quantity of
which, then mined was sent to
London. The taking of this fuel
to London aud the consequent em-
ployment of it to some extent in
the houses of the rich was not ap-
proved of by the masses. Very
quickly an opinion spread abroad
that coal smoke was very injurious
to the health and pestilential. This
feeling grew so strong that, upon
petition of both houses of parlia-
ment complaining of the nuisance,
Edward ] issued proclamation
prohibiting the use of coal by all
except the smiths. But coal had
become fashionable and continued
to be burnt Notwithstanding the
proclamation 1t was many years
however, before the prejudice was
entirely Commercial Id

"Just see, George" she exclaimed,

cigar case imaginable. Isn't it a

And George folded her to his arms
with the remark that she was just
the dearest little woman alive.
After short scene of bliss she
broke the silence.
"ohi l nearly forgot. Here's the
bill for my new bonnet. 1t may be
a trife high, but it is a perfect love
of a bonnet"
And George reiterated, under his
breath, that she was the dearest lit

AGenernns Oner

Small Ned was reasonably gem
erous with his other goodies, but he
never could be induced to part with
even "a bite" of molasses candy.
So the surprise of the family may
easily be imagined when, after re-
firing one day to secluded corner
with a thick stick of his favorite
Sweet he suddenly emerged and
offered to give away a large piece.
1t had become entangled in one of
his long eurls, and pulling and
twisting it only pulled and twisted
the curl, and, at last, with tears,
partly of pain and partly of vexa-
ton, in his eyes, Ned exclaimed:
