John Greenleaf Whittier was born
December II, 1907 in the Merrimac
valley, five milesfrom Haverhill, Mass.
He was of quaker origin. Untravelled
and unschooled in the academic sense,
he was shielded from the dangerous
influence of luxury and over-culture.
Whittier's works all show evidences
of genius and deep feeling. His ballads
reflect home and farm life and exhibit
deep sympathy with mainland beast.

trying to cross the Canadian border in
to the United States. One Of them
had in his pockets two pieces Of cloth
ON which Chinese characters were
stamped. These documents were sept

translated. One was to the effect that
the bearer Long Chow, joined social
society called the Leong John How
Fong in San Francisco on Jan. Goth,
1883, the initiation being So. The
other piece of cloth was large and GER
tainly more curious. 1T certified that

THE BALTIMORE COAL DEMAND.

The demand for bitnminous coal is
very brisk, but unfortunately the pro-
ducers cannot Get 4 sufiieieney Of cars
to bring their coal to market. As a
matter. Of fact the supply Of cars is
better than II has been during many
previous weeks, but the increase in
the demand has been so great that
traffic facilities are quite inadequate
There is plentiful supply of vessels
at Philadelphia, but the slowness Of
car deliveries causes the ocean freights
to be low.
