Tho Work Of Rescue.

LONDON. July 5.-The work Of rescuing
the living miners and recovering tho
bodies of the dead is being pushed as
rapidly as possible in Ineram's colliery,
Yorkshire, tho scene of yesterdays explo-
sion. Miners are working their way into
the farthermosr workings as expedtiously
as can be expected in view Of the fact that
they have to remove enormous quantities
of debris from the galleries. Thus far the
bodies of 80 dead, some terribly crushed
or burned. have been sent TO the surface.
The air in the pit is comparatively good
to-day. This leads to the hope that some
OF the mon may have reached places of
safety and are still alive. II is believed
that Of the las men in the mine ut tho time

The Boarding House Joker Obliged to
Step Down
The clearinghouse joker has at last
met with a setback. He has been
crushed by the landlady, and it came
about this way:
He was the only man at the table
full of lovely girls, and like all only
men he was spoiled So when the
belle of the table remarked that she
was very fond of pepper, and then
sifted half the contents of the pepper
box over her food, he sprang an old
gag on her.
1T won't hurt You. This pepper is
half peas"
What is that you say?" asked the
1andlady from the next table. Speak
a little louder, won't you?"
He reiterated his remark.
"That isn't true" retorted the land
lady, hotly; II do not use adulterated
goods on my table,
my dear madam" said the bland
joker, s'there are always lot of p's in
pepper"
There was an impressive pause, then
the landlady said in crushing tone:
''Oh, yes, just as you always furnish
part of the dessert

Message From the Dead.

Mrs. White, the wife of the veteran
Professor FL. II. White, of Lexington,
Ga, was not a little startled a few
weeks since by receiving a postal card
addressed in the handwriting of a dear
friend who had been dead over eleven
years Turning the card over she
recognized the well-remembereds sigma
ture of her departed friend, and the
lanes it contained We're in the same
writing. 1t was like receiving a mes
sage from the dead. An examination
revealed the Boston postmarl>, dated
July Is, 1879. The Lexington post
Office receiving stamp was dated jan
uary 3, 1898. The whereabouts of this
postal card for thirteen and one-half
years is one of those mysteries that
will probably never be solved.

Wrote to Himself.

A lawyer borrowed a book from
friend in the same office, took it home
and forgot to return it Several times
he was reminded of this by the owner
of the book, and as many times forgot
to put it in his pocket when he left his
house. At last, stung to desperation
by his friends gibes, he sat down, and
addressing a postal card to himself at
his residence, wrote on the back of it
thus: IF you do not attend to that
matter within twentyfour hours you
may expect the worst There" he
said grimly, '.if that doesn't fetch me

fetched him out of late sleep the next
morning Immediately after the post
mans first visit to explain to his white
faced, terrified wife that she was not
likely to be made widow. He offered
explanations, and took the book back;
but he is not sure that his wife does
not believe that he has committed
some crime or in some way got into
the clutches of a blackmailer.

HER FATHER LOCKED UP.
Girl Prevents Paternal Interference
with Her Wedding.

A Girl Prevents Paternal Interference
with Her Wedding.
Ella Sherwood is as pluclzy as she is
pretty. She loved Franklin Langdon
and could see no reason why his re-
.igion should be a barrier to their mar
rage. The young man was a Catholic
and her parents were Protestants, but
Of no particular denomination The
father, however, was dead opposed to
his daughter marrying q Roman Cath
Ollie. The mother and the rest of the
family favored the match.
The wedding day was set and the
girls family tried to keep it secret
from her father, but q rival sutton, who
was favored by the father, informed
Mr.. Sherwood was hopping mad, and
determined to place every obstacle in
the way Of the lovers. About noon on
the day of the wedding q carriage was
driven up to the door Of Mr.. Sher-
woods home to convey Miss Sherwood
to the side of her lover. AS she APP
peared in her wedding gown Mr.. Sher-
wood attempted to prevent her enter
ing the carriage, but was taken in
hand by his son.
A cross-fire of words on the pave
ment led to an engagement at closer
quarters, and soon a crowd gathered
to witness the outcome. A policeman
happened along just then, and Mr.
Sherwood was placed under arrest for
disorderly conduct. When he arrived
at the police station he desired an i'm
mediate arrangement, but the magis-
trate was not present, and the irate
father had to wait. After the hearing
Mr.. Sherwood was detained by the
police for some time before being final
ly dismissed. Meanwhile the lovers
drove to the Catholic cathedral, where
they were married by the Rev. C. P.
Thomas, and by the time the angry
father got out of the station they were
on their way to New York on their
wedding trip.

A neal relative of General Grants

without having his experience flung in

BOB TAILS GREAT RACE.

A Turf Event That Gave n New Phrase
to the Language.
The phrase, That beats Bob Tall"
is not uncommon even now in many
parts of the country, especially in the
South Its origin is traceable to race
which occurred about 1910, or shortly
before that year. on the famous Fair
field track on the Mechanicsville turn
pike, near Richmond, Va. In those
days Rob Poindexter lived in Rich
mond. He was a sporting man, wore
fine clothes, and owned number of
horses. Among his animals was one

geiding, with black name and
tail, the latter bobbed short. There
was nothing extraordinary about the
horse, and nobody looked upon him as
a racer. But Poindexter took a notion

buggy. On the day that he was ad-
vertised to appear on the track great
crowd was present, and the eXcitemen.

had been put up on the other horses
To the establishment of every body
Pizzarro beat every horse on the track,
and the people went fairly wild.
Bob-tailed Pizarro never made much
of record. He Won two or three
races and then went to pieces. For
years afterwards when anything ex-
traordinary happened in that section
it was said of it. That beats Bob

SPEED OF FALLING BODIES.
Il Increases Rapidly Owing to the At
traction of Ora Wit zion.

Il Increases Rapidly Owing to the At
traction OF Gravitarton.
The greater distance bodies have to
fall, the greater will be their speed.
The force of gravitation is constant
and acts alike on moving bodies and
those at rest. Therefore, a body that
has acquired speed in falling Of say
100 feet a second will have its velocity
increased in the next second by the
amount of the earth's pulling force.
If a body is let fall from a high tower
it will fall in the first second sixteen
feet and q fraction more. Starting
from nothing the movement is grad
ually accelerated, so that in the last
half of the secSnd it moves through a
much greater space than in the first
half. BY the end of the second, when
it has fallen sixteen feet, it has
acquired velocity Of thirty
two feet per second. If gravity then
ceased to act the body would fall thirty
two feet in the second second but as the
pulling force still remains constant
this distance is increased by the same
space through which it fell in the first
second. 1t thus falls in the second
second through forty -eight feet and has
acquired velocity of sixty-four feet
second. Thus in two seconds it will
have fallen siXtyfour feet. In three
seconds it will have fallen l44 feet and
will have attained a velocity of ninety
six feet second. Summarizing these
processes: To find the distance fallen
multiply sixteen feet by the square of
the number of seconds; to find the speed
at the end of given number of seconds
multiply thirty-two feet by the num-
Der of seconds

Snakes Don't Bite.

Snakes do not bite says a New
Orleans physician who has studied
snakes considerably. They can't, he
says, because their jaws are connected
only by cartilage, are not hinged,
and cannot be brought together with
any force. The snake simply hooks
the fangs in its upper jaw into the OBJ
ject aimed at, the lower jaw not figur-
ing in the act at all. The act is very
similar to that of man striking a
cotton hook into bale Of cotton or .
boat hook into q pies.

The hay reached well up to the girths

opening between the NOW and the

AT this opening Allen was sta

Another man with a cudgel moved
along the NOW, beating the boarding

thus driven from their holes, rushed
over the hay and tumbled headlong
into the open sack. At last all were
routed, and Allen, grasping the mouth
