ANECDOTE OF LORD NELSON

A pretty anecdote is told of Lord
Nelson, the hero of the battle of Trafal-
gar. Besides being great commander and
brave man, Nelson was one of the
truest of friends, and while he was as
fond as all other remarkable men of
the praise which good and heroic deeds
merit, he knew so little of jealousy that
he always wished others to have their
need of praise as well as himself.

YELLOW POPPIES
MRS. J. II. MELvILL

"How beautiful" sang the lime
OF a single yellow flower
"How beautiful" sang the sparrows
And they sang it by the hour;
And they all grew wild with rapture
To great for any words,
And the poppy swayed and nodded
And dazzled all the birds.
The poppy swayed and nodded
And fiourished in the sun,
And soon beside the ossom
G. ew many another one.
They spread about the mesas,
They no ided on the trail
In brilliant yellow punches
They dotted DER the vale.
In seas OF shining yellow
From morn till evening shades,
The land is color laden
In hues that never fade.
And mere q senior fingered
With his fair chosen one
Where fields of yellow peoples
Are nodding in the sun.

A Mrs. Emma Dryer of Chattanooga
was on her way to St. Louis to be married
to Roland Buel. She met one Lynch on
the train who persuaded her to marry
him instead. When she arrived at
the end of her journey she found she
had been robbed of $500, and caused
Lynch's arrest. So she lost both husbands
besides her money. But as she is worth
100000 she will probably not be obliged
to remain single very long. If she can't
find a man to have her in America, all
she need do is to go over to Europe. and
take her pick of the army of Counts and
Princes there. Perhaps she will be saved
that trouble, even. Her neighbours

COAL. OPERATORS
Of the Pittsburg District Preparing to Fight the Miners After April 1. ! Miners Determined.

PITTsBURa, March 26.-The railroad coal operators of the Pittsburg district today made preparations for the fight with the miners after April by adopting lower rate than that demanded by the men. The executive committee reported in favor of 60 cents per ton for one year, beginning April l, and the association ratified the ac- ton of the committee.
 The meeting was largely attended. The rate question was gone over from begin- ming to end, especial account being taken of the combination of operators and railroads in the Hooking valley. Many of the operators at the meeting were in favor of reaffirming the 65-cent agreed to in order to make the price of mining equal with that of Ohio. The abolition i the cent differential between Ohio and Pittsburg was part of the work

OVER THE ORDER TO ALLOW THEM sHPA-
 RATE SCHOOLS.
 WINNIPEG, Man., March 26.-The reme dial message from Ottawa ordering Mani- toba to give Catholics separate schools was read before the speaker Of the house this afternoon. The order was sent this morn ing by lieutenant Governor Schultz to the provincial secretary in the form in which it was received, without note, comment or instructions added. The order was read as a communication from the governor. Afterwards the house proceeded with it's usual work. It is necessary that forty eight hours, according to the rules of the house, must elapse before the order be dis cussed in parliament. This might bring it up at night session on Thursday.
 The premier was asked if there was any probability of the order being passed over in silence and he replied that it was sure to be discussed in the house. As to the pro- roguing of the house he added that parlia- ment might talk for a week on the order if it saw fit to do so, and that the order would therefore have great deal to do with the length of the session. The Catholics are jubilant over the situation and declare that the Manitoba government will not daro to reject the command from Ottawa, which is virtually the command of the queen. To do SO, they claim, would be an act of open rebelliOn.

JOE JEFFERsON,s LUCK.

NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-Information comes from New Iberia that an important discovery of rock salt has been made on Orange or Jefferson island, which lies on the southwest coast of Louisiana, not far from. Pitanze or Avery's island. As is well known, on the latter is the most ex- tensive bed of rock salt on this continent. Orange island is owned by Joe Jefferson i, the veteran actor. He has long been of the opinion that salt existed on his property, as the island is similar in formation to Avery's. He had a. shaft sunk 800 feet without success. Another shaft was sent down in different locality, and at 250 feet rock salt was struck. The drill was sent down to the depth of 300 feet without go- ing through the bed of pure rock salt.

 A provision of the agreement to pay 60 cents after April 1 was that operators wi o have contracts on hand for low priced coal may pay less to fill these contracts.
