THE READING COMBINE,

CHICAGO. Sept. 2S.-Now that the Read
ing CONT bine is sending the price of coal
skyward, the western roads are consider
ing the practicability Of bringing Colorado
coal into competition with the Pennsyl-
vanla product. some say that it can be
done. The railroads have such rates now
that it would cost dealers from $40 to
Sl2 80 per ton to lay down Colorado coal in
Chicago. These rates, however, are based
on a new supply Colorado coal has never
been brought SO far east. With a demand
tor sufficient quantity to cause it to be
shipped by tram loads, rates could be
easily reduced one halt.

THAT DEAR OLD WORD. GOoD-BY,


Is mighty sad one when it is the parting
salutation between friends whom thou
sands of miles of salt water are about to
separate. Mariners, buyers in foreign
lands for heavy houses, commercial travel
ers who have made many trips across the
stormy Atlantic, think little of an ocean
voyage, but to the first voyager the initial
trip is momentous affair. Sea
sickness is to be expected as matter of
course. How to prevent it? The finest
remedy and preventive Of the nausea pro-
voked by the tossing of vessel, the
jarring motion Of the screw of steamship,
or of a locomotive train, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. pronounced by sea cap
tains, ship doctors, tourists, travellers and
emigrants the finest stomachie and best
defense against ailments of the bowels,
digestive organs and liver in existence.
Malaria, rheumatism, kidney troubles and
debility are remedied by it.

The legend of standing Rock.

While on the trip through North
Dakota, on which he got the piece OF
the cabin, Inspector Watkins was told
by the Indian agent at Standing Rock
Agency the legend of the stone from
which the place gets its name.
Years ago, according to the Indian
tradition, buck and his squaw were
on Journey down the Missouri River
to visit some relatives at distant
point Where Fort Yates now is the
buck saw young squaw OF surprising
beauty, with whom he fell desperately
in love. In spite of the tears and en-
treaties of his lawful wife he refused
to proceed on the journey or IN any
other direction, but resolved to stay
right there with his new-found pas
sion. The deserted squaw exhausted
her entreaties and her tears, and
finally arose to leave the place alone.
AS she did so she fell back in the spot
where she had been sitting and turned
to stone. There she has remained
ever since, standing reproach to her
faithless lord and master and to all his
kind. By faint stretch of the
imagination the standing rock from
which the agency gets its name can be
made to take on the outlines OF
woman.
The Indians believe the story and
nav HOMAGE to the monument of mans
perfidy and fckleness and womans
constancy While the inspector was
at Fort Yates he saw an Indian ap
proach the rock, bow reverently, ano
iay something at its base. When th'
Indian had gone the inspector and th'
agent went out to see what the offering
was. 1t was a chew of tobacco, NJ
heavy sacrifice, it may be said; bu
perhaps it was the last the Indian had

Washington and His Mother.

When the tidings of the splendid
success at Yorktown were brought di-
rect from the general to his mother,
she was moved to an exclamation OF
fervent thanksgiving: "Thank God!
the war is ended, and we shall be bless
ed with peace, happiness, and inde-
pendence, for at last our country is
free" Shortly after the surrender of
Cornwallis, Washington left Yorktown
with a brilliant suite of French and
American officers, and started upon
his Journey to Philadelphia, stopping
on the way at Fredericksburg to visit
his mother. 1t was nearly seven years
since he had last seen her face; he lett
Mount Vernon in May, 1775, and DID
not return till the autumn of 1881.
Now that the time of meeting drew
near, his mother was serene but very
quiet, only smiling to herself oftener
than usual. But it was not the hero
crowned that filled her thoughts, but
the son who, after years of absence and
danger, was coming back to her. On
the 18th of November, 1881, the town
of Fredericksburg was all aglow with
Joy and revelry. Washington, "in the
midst of his numerous and brilliant
suite" wrote Mr.. Custis, "sent to ap-
prise her his mother] of his arrival,
and to know when it would be her
pleasure to receive him. Alone
and on foot, the generalin-chief of the
combined armies of France and
America" he goes on to say in the
grandiloquent style of the day. "the
deliverer of his country, the hero OF
the hour, repaired to pay his humble
tribute of duty to her whom he vener'
ated as the author of his being" etc.
When the warm embrace of greeting
was over, looking into his face with
earnest, close observance, her eyes en-
kindled with maternal love, she said
tenderly: "You are growing old,
George; care and toll have been max
ing marks in your face since l saw yor
last" Her voice is said to have beel
singularly sweet, and he loved its ca
dence as she called him by name. Sh'
inquired as to his health, and sh
spoke much "of old times and ol'
friends, but of his glory not on
word. Mrs. Ella BasSett Washington
