SOME NARROW ESCAPES.
Other Persons Than the Narrator
Have Cause for Gratitude.

| Miss Elvira Tobey had reached the
; age Of seventy without becoming VIC
tim to matrimony. but according to her
own views she had had some hair
breadth escapes.
What If / had OF married old HI
! Skaggs." she said with great sigh of
relief one day. Hes tormented three
wives to death, and what if I'd been
one of 'em!''
why, were you ever engaged to
| him?"
"well. not to say engaged mebbe.
| but then it was next door TO it. He
| beaued me home from spellin' school
| twice fifty years ago. an land only
knows what'd happened if he'd gone
home with me third time. And what
if had married old Henry Todd forty
| five years back!"
Did he ask you to marry him.
Well it was next thing TO an out an
out proposal. He came over to our
house three Sunday nights hand run
ming, If that wasn't mighty nigh 4
proposal I dunno what could be. And
l spose that if I'd married Joel Baxter
I'd been the mother of all them Bax-
ter children, and not one of 'em has
turned out well. and how terribly I'd
felt. Pm thankful enough that l es-
caped Joel Baxter
Did he propose to you, too?"
He came as nigh ii as 1 wanted him
to, for he chose me three times in one
evening when we was playiu' kissin'
games at play party forty nine years
ago, and I've allus felt that / had a
| mighty narrer escape from bein' Mrs.
Joel Baxter. And. OH. if had married
Thomas Knapp
Did you come near marrying him."
Well. he asked me TO go to a picnic
once. and l refused. and a month later
his engagement TO Tryphosa Jones was
announced, an she's he'd an awful life
with him. l can tell you that never
married. an I can't be too thankful for
some of the escapes I've had"

WHY HE REFORMED.
His Confidence in His Fellow
Gamesters Was Sadly Shaken.

ITS not that I've become convinced
of the sinfulness of games of chance
and reformed" said the thoughtful
looking man. "Nor is it that l have
lost confidence in my luck, or that m
afraid of arrest. None of these could
have given my taste for faro the jar
that it received last week.
II dropped into a Clark-street place
with $40 bill that had been paid me

the month Twenty dollars worth or
chips that bought to start with were
gone before / fully realized what had
happened That was all / had intended
to allow myself to lose, but after stand
ing around and watching for while, 1
decided to give the game another run.
So 1 bought $50 worth more.
My luck turned at once. In short
time my pile had risen about fifty
When it reaches ninety 1 thought
I'll quit Having paid out forty, nine

around seventy-five: finally couple
of good bets brought me up to my even

No; different story this time. / tore
myself away from the table and cashed
in, receiving a $50 greenback and two
twenties. 1 left the place promptly
and went to the bank the next morn
ing to deposit my fifty.
Hard luck was the teller's re-
mark, as he clicked a little machine
and tossed my bill back with the word
counterfeit stamped through it.
For heavens sake.' 1 gasped, ii
that's counterfeit maybe these are,
too!' And before I thought I pulled
out the two twenties. AS showed them
under the grating 1 came back to my
senses, and started to take them back.
But it was too late. The teller grab

century with stock of coal amount
ing to 81, ,6S3, 100000 tons, of which
about $4,000, 100000 are included in
visible and partially concealed areas.
and % 600. 100000 in entirely concealed
areas This quantity will last little
over four hundred years. The first
coalfield to become exhausted will be
that at Newcastle on Tyne The
Scottish coal fields show no signs of
exhaustion, but their probable life is
shorter than the average period for
the whole kingdom, and likely to be
exhausted in. about three hundred
years These estimates are the result

GOLDBERG DISTRICT.
A Pleasant Evening at the Opening
of the New School-house.

The entertainment and dance given
in honor of the completion of the new
school-house in the Goldberg district
last night was an unqualified success.
The building, which is one of the pref
tiest school-houses in the county, was
crowded and the programme offered
was much above the average grade
and met with decided approval. The
entertainment was under the manage
ment OF Mrs. Dunn, the teacher who
for many years has had charge of the
school. and the arrangement had been
excellentiy planned. She had been ably
assisted by the Trustees and the ladies
of the district had provided a splendid
supper in the basement, to which the
fullest justice was done by those who
partook of it, and who thoroughly ap-
preeiated the culinary skill shown by
the providers.
After supper the orchestra and the
dancers had their turn and indulged in
terpsichorean exercise until the mid
night hour. The occasion was a most
pleasant one and interesting addresses
were made by State Superintendent Of
instruction Black and County Superin-
tendent Howard. Trustee Erskine
Greer also delivered an address. during
which he took occasion to mention the
gratifying fact that several firms in
this city, knowing that the district had
exhausted it's finances in building the
school-house, had donated a stove, a
pump, window shades, etc, to help it
out.
The programme was as follows:
Introductory remarks, f. Greer; duet
(piano and cello), "Gavotte," Miss Pearl
Jackson and Miss Edna Smith; ad-
dress, County superintendent B. F.
