Once in while the dry pages Of gov
eminent reports are enliyened by details
of sensational incidents Witness the
following from report of John W.
Fleming, United States mine inspector
for New Mexico: II arrived at Cerillos
on the evening of the 2Gth of February,
at p. III. On the morning of the 9th
went ont TO the White Ash Coal mine,
about 2 Y miles from the town. When l
arrived there, ! asked the superintendent
Of the mine, James Duggan, about the
condition of the mine, and he informed
me that it was never better; that he
had been in the mine every day for eight
or ten days past, and had taken air
measurements and found that the venti-
lation was better than ever before.
Upon my request that he proceed into
the mine for its inspection, he stated
that he was required to 60 to the coke
ovens of the company at Waldo, about
2h miles distant, and would return by
noontime, and we would go into the
mine, " At II a. IN. an explosion Of
fire damp occurred in the mine which
killed "a men, and showed the inspector
that sometimes, delays are the reverse
of dangerous.

There is a mother on the north side
who has family Of small children
One day she became very much interest
ed in book, and it seemed as If she
must read it, but the children bothered
her very much. Finally she thought of
scheme whereby she could get rid of
the children, SO she took broom and
put red cloth on it and hung it in the
window. She then told the children
they must play she had the smallpox,
and that they must not dare come near
her, for they would catch it. They kept
away beautifully all the afternoon, and
she finished the book, Some of the
neighbors also saw the red flag and
