Fairmont, Minn.-The trial Of Lewis
Kellihan for the murder of O. e. Oestern
in the Sherburn bank robbery last fall
began here on Tuesday before J. II.
Quinn, udge of the new seventeenth dis
trict. 1t is clear that the most that is
hoped for by the prisoners attorneys is
to save his life, and vigorous efforts
were made at the last term to induce
the county attoreny to accept plea Of
guilty or murder in the second degree,
which were at the time unavailing, but
will doubtless be renewed. Failing in
this, the defense will endeavor to show
that Kellihan did not fire the fatal shot,
and was under the influence of hts
brother, Mike, who preferred suicide to
capture.

With thee share.
When the harvest sheaves ingathered
Fill thy barns with store,
To thy God and to thy brother
Give the more,

Yearn for glorious deed,
Give thy strength to serve thy brother
In his need.

For guest.

SUCCESSFUL BLOW STRUCK FOR
WOMEN.

It was in 1862 that General Francis
f. Spinner, Treasurer of the United
States succeeded in opening the gov
eminent departments to the employ
ment of women. The civil war was at
its height, and every able-bodied man
was needed in the front Of battle for
the protection of the country. IF ever
l strike successful blow for women,
now is my time" said General Spinner.
The first legal-tender notes were print
ed in sheets of four notes each, and
men were employed to cut them apart
with shears. General Spinner maiIi-
tanned that women could handle the
shears more deftly than men, and
Secretary Chase finally consented to
let him experiment with Nomen en-
ployes.
The first one engaged was Jennie
Douglas, and her first days work set
tied the matter in her favor and that
of womankind. Other women were
employed. The men left, and the wo-
men TOOK their places. Soon, however,
a machine to cut money was invented,
and the women were discharged. Gen.
eral Spinner now convinced the Off
Gals that the nimble fingers of women
were peculiarly adapted to the count
ing of notes. He had employed his
daughters in his own bank, and knew
they could work more rapidly than
men. He was permitted to engage
seven women, who were regularly ap-
pointed as counters of the United
States money. 1t is true that women
received but half the salary paid to
men for the same work at the begin
ming, but the salaries were gradually
increased, until now woman receives
the same salary as man in the public
service when she does the same work.

Coal Statistics.

American coal is an important item
in the supplies Of outward-bound At
lantic liners. Formerly a large
amount of coal was taken from Bril-
fish ports in American bottoms. Over
a million and half tons of American
coal are now used per year for this
purpose. The coal area of the prin-
cipal countries of the world Is enor-
nous. Japan and China have over
2OO. 900 square miles of coal fields.
The United States has nearly as much.
India, $4,000 square miles; Russia, 81
600 square miles; Great Britain, o.
600 square miles; Germany, 5000
square miles, with France, Belgium,
Spain and other countries about 1000
square miles. 1t Is estimated that the
coal districts of five Of the largest
European nations would yield some
thing more than three and one-half
billion tons of coal. Grumblers who
sometimes worry lest by the prodigal
waste of coal the supply should be ex-
hausted may be treasured by the
statement that there Is coal enough In
the world to last over a thousand
years, at which time they probably
will have little interest in mundane
affairs. Pennsylvania has the credit
of mining fifty million tons Of coal
during the year 1895. This is the
largest production given in the United
States Reports of any coal-producing
State. North Carolina furnishes 25,-
600 tons, which is the smallest amount
reported for any State. During the
year 1895 the value of the coal pro-
duction was nearly 10S millions Of dol
lars for bitiminous coal. and anthra-
cite about 1914 millions.-The Ledger.

"I-oh, Lob. the turkeys are burn

Mrs. Thomson was powerless. One
arm of her old lover encircled her
waist, and his eyes were reading the
secrets of her heart-besides, the tur-
keys really were burning. So she laid
her head upon his broad breast and
whispered:

The Conrad eship Of Miners.

A touching incident is reported from
the Australian province of Victoria. a
miner met with an accident and broke
his leg. The nearest doctor was at
Orbost, thirty-eight miles away. He
was sent for, but could not leave the
township, where several serious cases
claimed his attention. The miners
mates thereupon decided to carry the.
sufferer to Orbost, and thirty-two OF
them having improvised rough
stretcher, carried the poor man there
in a day and half. They had to
traverse the toughest country in Cros-
gingoland. and to cross a river and
two creeks, all of which were in food.
They got their mate into the doctor 9
hands In time TO save his llfe.-San

Useful Games.

Frobel was a great advocate of
games which would develop the acute
ness and discrimination of the senses
in children. Autumn fruits may be
made to play an important part in this
respect. The children Of a kindergar-
ten or of a nursery may be taught to
name, count and draw such with col
ored chalks. Then one child may be
blindfolded, and another child hides
one of the fruits. II the blinded one
guesses which one is missing he is
cheered, IL not, he tries again. An
other way is, to have all the children
guess the names OF the fruits by the
feel OF them.-The Housewife.

NOVEL USE FOR TOY PISTOLS.

find growing demand for those harm

that they are carried by women cy-

This is to be flung in too persistent

QUEER OCCUPATIONS FOR WOMEN

Mrs. Barotti, Chicago woman,
makes a good income by conducting
nut-cracking establishment. Mrs. Ba-
rotti's place of business is known to all
confectioners and street vendors. Her
business is now booming. Her estab-
lishment consists of long, narrow
room. Down the center of 1t extends
a long table surrounded by men, wo-
men and children. In front of each
person is square iron slab, with nuts
piled high on one side of 1t. Each
worker has a hammer and hammers
away from morning until night. Skill
is required to extract the meats with
out breaking them. A good nut
cracker can crack about sixteen pounds
of nuts a day. They are paid about
so day. In the busy season Mrs. Ba-
ROTH employs from thirty to fifty
hands.
An enterprising Philadelphia woman
has a novel way of converting her
muscle into cash. She is an expert in
