A Bachelors Mistake.

An awkward mistake was made by
a Newcastle bachelor. He had occa-
sion to write two post cards-one to
the charwoman and the other to the
lady of his heart. Being exceeding
ly pressed for time, he turned them
over when the necessary commune
cations had been written, scrawled on
each the address and rushed off with
them to the post. The surprise of
the recipients may be imagined
when next morning the young lady
found herself commanded ito come
tomorrow and do the washing" and
the fact was politely intimated to the
charwoman that the writer had
booked seats at the theater and
would call round that night to escort
her to the play.-Lancashire ENG

AN OPERATORS SCHEME.
Ii In Said That They Stored Their Conl
and Then Reduced the Wages.

The soft coal famine is beginning to be
seriously felt in Chicago and some OF the
surrounding towns well Coal that ten
Gays ago Wa practically a drug on the
market at 1913 a ton was eagerly sought
for at s. a ton. and il is claimed by some
dealers that as high as $50 was obtained
for small quantities.
Some OF the Chicago consumers attribute
the famine to a scheme OF the Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania operators. Assistant
General Manager Wood Of the Chicago and
Alton road is OF this belief
For the last year." he said. the Ohio
operators have been storing coal at the
various lake ports. They accumulated
G'.ecO tons OF coal and then cut wages TO
the starvation point. knowing that the men
They also figured that the Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa miners would strike IN order to
aid their Ohio and Pennsylvania brethren
&c carry their point against the unjust cut.
TEis the Ohio and Pennsylvania operators
ioresaW would cause a famine IN the soft
coal market and tina; they would De able 70
unload their holdings at famine prices"
Several other railway officials made the
same statements. One said that over $780,
coo bushels OF Pittsburg coal lay "a barges
at the docks in Cairo and that even q great
er quantity was at the ST. Louis docks and
also at Alton. This coal IS now being
offered TO railways and manutacturiag con-
Germs at famine prices" said the Official
1t was learned on good authority that the
Illinois Central, the Rock Island and the
Chicago. Milwaukee and 81. Paul roads are
desperately pushed for want OF coal
At the offices OF the various dealers Il was
learned that towns in tAe interior OF this
state, Iowa and Michigan are seriously
short OF soft coal. Among the towns men
toned are Elgin. kankakee, BLOOMINGTON,
Streator, Galesburg and Decatur
