They have served their time and have

Harvey's offense was no greater than
the others, and should be imprisoned
no longer than they.

F. ]. Weber, the strike leader, who has
been in charge of the strike in the Ka-
nawha district for two months, receiv-
ed telegram this evening from head
quarters in Columbus, directing him to
take immediate steps to make terms
with the coal operators in West Vir-
ginia.
To this end a delegate convention of
all the miners of the State is called TO
meet in Montgomery on Thursday Of
this week to appoint committees to
meet the operators of the several dis
tricts to propose terms.
Weber says the United Mine Workers
in this State and elsewhere will not
resume work till their demands are
acceded to by the operators. They
feel that they were beaten at Columbus
by political chicanery and they will not
submit to the dictates of Ratchford.
The strike will be continued and the
fight will be prosecuted with vigor.
No member of the organization will be
allowed to resume work till the State
is organized, and the miners secure the
prices demanded at a meeting at Hand
ley some time ago, which were so cents
per ton for soft coal, SO cents for hard
coal and checkweighman on each
tipple.

MOLLIE'S DOUBLE.

If a man ever loved a woman-faith-
fully and with all his heart loved
Molly Toppington just as truly. 1t
a only been a matter Of a couple of
months since she had promised with
the sweetest and most becoming of
bushes to be mine for good and all,
and L vas the happiest beggar on earth
until one day | received orders from
the head Of the firm with which | was
connected to go to New York and at
tend to some business there which
would keep me away from Boston for
three weeks. Three long, miserable
weeks without Molly. The thought
was uncomfortable, but it had to be en-
Iured, nevertheless. For although 1
was getting along very well in my
chosen profession, that of architecture,
my fortunes were largely dependent
upon the well-known firm which en-
ployed me, and naturally 1 was COM
PEELED to do their bidding. So 1 broke
the news as gently as possible to Molly,
comforting her as best / could with the
assurance that three weeks were not
so long after all, and that some day
there would be no separation at all for
us. Dear little girl, she was almost
heart-broken, but she had a brave spir-
it, and she smiled at me so lovingly and
sweetly throughth the tears which glisten-
ed in her dark eyes that l felt almost

to Mollie Forsythe, of New York.
She seemed a little surprised first
when l spoke to her in tones Of I'M
doubted admiration, throwing all the
meaning l could into my common
places. But on the whole she took it
very well, and in the brief time during
which she was playing over a lot Of
tender melodies and l was whispering
sweet nothings into her ear, we became
to all intents and purposes lovers. And
it was not until, with a start, I remem
bered that it must be growing late and
took my leave-not until l had emery
ed into the street-that / thought of
Mollie Toppington, of Boston. and Of
what a miserable creature l had been
to her. The very thought of my con
duct filled me with the deepest shame,
and l actually blushed at my own du-
plicity. How could l ever look Mollie-
my Mollie-in the face again? For now

The Spirit of Accommodation.

In
There are few greater necessities of
social life than that spirit of accommO-
dation which is realized in mutual
compromises.
Two persons may think independent
ly on many subjects; they may have
different hopes, fears and desires, their
tastes and inclinations may lead in op-
posite directions, their judgments may
form contrary conclusions, and as long
as they are alone they are free to cher
'ish and develop them as they please.
But directly they come together into
more or less intimate companionship
they find the necessity of making mu-
.tual concessions, both in speech and
conduct.
If there is to be any peace, any good
will, any happy intercourse, any sue
cessful action together, each one must
give up something hat he likes, sacri-
flee some cherished plan, postpone some
pleasure, yield some interest of his
own.
The closer the relation between them
the more imperative is the need for
this reciprocal surrender.
No friendship can long subsist with
out it; no marriage can offer any hope
of happiness where it does not exist.
All concerted action is dependent upon

The Church of the NATIVITY.

We return in time to see the process
sion Of bishops, priests, and people
that is forming in the square in front
Of the church. Each is dressed in his
most gorgeous robes. Turkish soldiers
line both sides of the street to keep the
way open for the procession to pass.
The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem has
just arrived. The procession of priests,
carrying banners and immense can
dies, meets him, then turns, and all
go into the Latin chapel through the
main entrance. Following, We are sur
prised to find the main entrance so
small. 1t can admit but one at a
time, and that one must stoop to enter.
From the masonry it can be seen that
the entrance was once much larger.
The reason for the change was that the
MohampedanS at one time did all in
their power to injure and annoy the
Christians, and ever used to ride on
horseback into the very church. The
door, therefore, was made small to-
protect the church from this sacrilege.
Once inside, we e we are in a very
ancient structure. Part of the mason
~ dates from the time of Constantine,
who built a magnificent basilica OF this
site, about the year $50 of era. All
we can see of the oldest work, however,
probably dates from not later than
Justinian's time, about $50 A. D. In
any case, the church is a venerable
building, and it has witnessed some
stirring scenes. In it Baldwin the Cru
sader was crowned king Of Jerusalem.
1t has been repaired a number Of times;
and once, when it needed a new roof,
King Edward ". of England gave
the lead to make one. This was about
the year 1882. The lead roof did good
service for about two hundred years,
and might have lasted much longer
had not the Mohammedans melted it
I'D to make bullets. However, another
roof was soon provided.
Inside, the building consists of a
nave and double aisles. The aisles are
separated by two rows of columns
made of red limestone. These columns
have plain bases, and are surmounted
by C%orinthian capitals. They are nine
teen feet high, and at the top of each a
cross is engraved. The church is now
owned by the Latin, Greek and AT.

And turn and seem to try
To hunt for something on the floor,

And look in grandma's eyes,

That grandma had been naughty, too!
But ali! what am l thinking of?

But sweet and kind and good!

SO good that when she looks at me
With eyes so loving all the day
I'll never want to turn away.

Bundle Not What 1t Appeared.

y young cOlOred woman with two big
bundles boarded an Illinois Central
train at Randolph street last Wednes-

fountains of the great deep be broken

The am writer, who was one OF the
compilers of the Talmud, says that they
actually tried to do 7his when the flood
came. ElieZer says that Og, their lead
er, planted his foot upon the fountain
of the deep and with his hands closed
the windows of heaven. Then, accord
ing to this same queer story, God made
the waters hot and boiled the flesh from
the bones of the naughty giants
The Targum of Palestine also says
that the waters of the flood were hot,
and that the skin of the r%hinOcerOs lays
in folds because he was not allowed to
enter the ark, but saved himself by
hooking his horn under the sides of the
vessel and floating with it. But the,
water which was directed under and
at the sides of the ark, was not hottie
rhinocerOs loosened his skin swim
ming from q mountain peak to the side
of the vessel. One account says that
Og and another giant named Lami also
saved themselves by taking refuge in
the cool water under the edge of the
ark's hull, along with the rhinOceros.
rabbinac authority quoted by
Gould in his "PatriarchS and PROPHETS"
says that Og saved himself by climbing,
upon the top of the ark, and that when
Noah discovered and tried to dislodge
him. he swore to be a slave to Noah's
family forever, if allowed to remain
