FERROUS disappearance of Alex A,

There are all sorts of stories circulated
In Jefferson City as to his where

coast of Maine, another that he is
fishing in Minnesota and another that
he has gone to Alaska. No one in his
Office knows his address, and his best

HER ACCOUNT DocToRED.
This Girl Kept an Expense Book and Lost
a Husband.

This Girl Kept an Expense Book and Lost
a Husband.
/ There is a North Side girl who has a
laudable ambition to know just where
her money goes. She has tried two or
three times to keep mental track of her
expenditures, but this always proved
unsatisfactory At last she decided thsSt
she must keep an exact and minute ac-
count of everything she spent. She got
herself small book with rulings and
margins and a pliable cover and set to
work in earnest She put down reli-
giously everything she spent, the exact
amount, the article and the date. She
never allowed the slightest matter to go
| till there was chance of her forget
ting it. When she made any purchases
down town, she went over the list care
fully i'll the car on her way home and
put the amounts on the outside of a
package In this way she succeeded in
keeping very satisfactory record of
her expenditures
There was only one drawback. She
was forever leaving the book around.
| Of course there are a great many people
who are only too glad to read such
things. The servant would see it. The
man who came to tune the piano might
easily have done it if he liked, and she
did not know whether he had or not. A
neighbor had once picked it, up on the
lawn i'll front of the house and brought
it in, but what was worse than all the
rest was the fact that couple of girl
friends perused it one day. There were
some things which she had talked a
good deal about that she got for down
right bargains In fact, after this catas-
trophe everything on her record seemed
to be shamefully cheap However, she
was unwilling to give up the bookkeep-
ing, and if she didn't carry notebook
around with her she would certainly
forget something. so she bathaught her
self of another expedieGG. She determin-
ed for the purpose of mystifcation to
multiply everything she put down by
ten-that is, to add cipher to each en-
try In this way she could always tell
that every item really cost one-tenth Of
what appeared on the book. After this
she didn' care who saw it.
There is a lot at the side of her IA
theirs house and rustic seat. One day
she left the book on this seat In the
evening the young man who had about
concluded to ask her hand in marriage
came along. He noticed the book, picked
it up and looked through it carelessly.
He was amazed. She had always claim
ed to be such a prudent girl, and he had
believed she was. Still there he saw:

A Bee Was Kept.

A girl from town is staying with
some country cousins who live at a
farm. On the night of her arrival she
finds, to her modification, that she is
ignorant of all sorts of things connected
with farm life which to her country
cousins are matters of everyday knowl-
edge. She fancies they seem amused at
her ignorance.
At breakfast the following morning
she sees on the table dish of fine hon
eys whereupon she thinks She has found
an opportunity Of retrieving her humil-
iating experience of the night before
and of showing her country cousins that
she knows something of country life
after all. SO. looking at the dish OF
honey, she says carelessly:

A sailmaker S mate in the navy who
wanted to get out of the service to go
into business with some money he had
fallen heir to made a success of the
monomania dodge. 1t is the business Of
a man-of war sailmaker's mate to sew
up members of the crew who die at sea
in hammocks preparatory to their be-
ing cast over the side This sailmaker's
mate appeared on deck one day with a
queer look in his eye and announced to
his shipmates forward that he was dead
and that he was going to prepare him
self for burial in the deep. Some of the
men watched him as he went to the
sailmaker's storeroom and began to sew
himself up in new hammock. When
he had got the job about half finished,
the men informed the officer of the deck
of the case, and the sailmaker's mate
was put under observation in double
irons. When he was released from the
brig, still under observation, but appar
emily not aware of the espionage, he
went direct to the storeroom, got an
other hammock and began to enshroud
himself again The skipper of the ship
reduced him to the rate of seaman for
this, for the purpose of keeping the man
away from the sailmaker's storeroom,
thinking that if he was removed from
the sight of the stored up hammocks
his mania might leave him. The night
Of the day he lost his rate the ex-sail-
maker mate broke into the storeroom
where the new hammocks were kept and
sewed himself up for burial again. Then
the feet surgeons held a survey on him,
and he got his discharge He started a
tobacco store for sailors near one of the
navy yards, and for some time he made
it a practice to stand in the doorway Of
his shop and grin when any Of the board
of surgeons who had pronounced him
insane passed by, as they were compell-
ed to do on their way to and from the

COAL AND IRON.
The Important Relationship of These Two
Valuable Minerals.

Valuable Minerals.
Statistics show that, whereas Great
Britain in 1910 produced rs per cent Of
the world S supply of coal, at the pres
ent time it produces only "a per cent.
Atlantic liners no longer carry coal
from Great Britain for the return jour
lev They now take in American coal,
and no less than 1900, 900 tons of
American coal were thus consumed i'll
1895. The condition of the iron manu-
featuring industries has always exer
cised most important a iuence on the
production of coal, SO that large de-
mand for iron draws with it a large de-
mand for mineral fuel During the last
25 years the worlds production of pig
iron has increased from $4,000, 600 to
26, 900, 900 tons, but the share taken by
Great Britain has fallen from 4S. per
cent to 30 per cent, while that of the
United States has increased from l 4.
per cent to 1862 per cent, that of Ger
many from IL. 4 per cent to 21.4 per
cent, and that of Russia from per cent
to 4. Z per cent. Indeed iron is now be-
ing imported from the United States
into this country, and, incredible as it
may seem, the railway station at Mid
dlesbrough, the center of the iron trade,
is built of iron brought from Belgium
Surely, then, the author Of "Our Coal
Resources at the Close Of the Nine
teenth Century" is hardly right III
thinking that British coal and iron still
hold their own. He argues that other
countries of Europe are exhausting their
coal supplies just as Great Britain is,
yet the figures he gives show that Ger
many has in reserve, within depth OF
5000 feet 109, 600, 600, 600 tons of coal
as compared with our England s.
81, 683, 900, 900 tons within a depth of
1900 feet And this estimate does not
include brown coal. of which Germany
raises $4,000, 600 tons annually.-Na-

CHEMICAL FIRE ENGINES.
They Have Done Much to Reduce the loss
From Water at Fires.

AAOAh " htCA az ~ Ss
Mr. Charles T Hill writes of 1.-THE

The tanks of these engines are charg-

da (baking soda) and water, with a
small cylinder of sulphuric acid sus-

verified, this acid is emptied into the
soda and water, and the mixture at
once generates carbonic acid gas at a
great pressure Charging the liquid
with this gas gives it the necessary pres

The hose is coiled around a reel on top
