HARD ON THE COAL DEALER.

Notwithstanding HIS High Prices Other
Things conspire to Down Him.
well. sir, It looks as if the Lord had
deserted the coal combine" said .
leading dealer in black diamonds yes
terday. as he looked over his order
book IN search of new entry. "This
weather is enough TO make a man wish
he had never thought OF the coal bust
ness. l never saw such Id bad
weather before since | can remember.
l haven't sold enough coal this week
to pay my rent. Well, it IS an i'll wind
that blows no good, and the poor man
no doubt is delighted with the weather
and the man that heats ms house with
= furnace no doubt joins HIM in his Joy
when he thinks that every week of TINS
kind of weather saves him from 81. 90
To 81.
1.-The fact that coal is 1915 per ton
and very liable to reach IS before the
first of January will not make very
much difference with the coal bills of
many persons. Nearly everyone of my
customers have ordered as much gas
coke as they have coal, and propose TO
mix them, This will cost them about
what their coal cost them last year,
and will go almost as far in heating
their houses. The mixture of coke
and coal with this fine weather to aid
will fix the fuel fund all right.
"Do think We shall have q cold
winter No, sir. There are no indica-
tons of cod winter. Last winter
was not severe winter, and yet most
people kept their furnaces and
coal stoves running from the
first Of October until May Is,
ana crate fires are kept up until nearly
June Is. We have passed the middle
of November and there has not been
fuel enough consumed IN Grand Rap
Ids to make a good bonfire. Last year
you had no frogs croaking during No.
vember, not one. Yesterday was out
hunting and I'll bet heard one hun
dred frogs bowling III the ponds. You
know before cold weather sets in for
keeps, the frog buries himself in the
ooZe at the bottom of some pond or
brook and lies there snug, but cold,
until the spring sun draws him out.
All close observers of the signs of ma
ture know that the mole provides
abundantly for winter by digging little
pits and filling them with Jerked bug
meat and preserved worms for his win
tors supply of eatables. / noticed that
these little fellows have not made pro-
vision for long siege. The pits are
few III number and the supply of bugs
and worms is very scant. No sir, |
don't look for bad winter, except for
the coal dealer. Everybody seems to
have il in for him."

before Mr.. Foster went on board the

made TO brink about an international

Several Wall Street bankers, when they
learned that Secretary Fosters trip was
likely to result in something most impor-
tant to the financial world, said that no
