SAND ON HIS TROUSERS.

An uncouth old rancher from the San
Joaquin valley was making his weekly
trip to Stockton the other DAY, and
CHANGED to be sitting with an impertinent
drummer in the smoking car. The old
man helped himself to the matches from
the railroad box, and tried to strike one
and then another.
"You have to scratch them on the box,
uncle" remarked the drummer.
."Oh, | guess | kin strike MATCH re-
piled the rancher, as he ripped one across
a vanished panel of the car and broke
off the head. TIE drummer laughed al
his failure, and gave him some informa-
ton.
"The only way to light those matches is
to strike them on the box" said he.
"Oh, l guess / kin scratch 'em most
anywheres," and the o.d man tried one
on the sole of his shoe, another on the
arm of the seat, and still another on the
car floor, while the drummer only
laughed.
II tell YOU they are made so that they
won't light unless you scratch them on
the box"
Bet you they will"
"Tll bet 81 they won't"
BET you 800 they will"
"rl take it,
The wager was made, the old man took
one of the matches, stood up, and, hitch.
ing his trousers up so as to make a smooth
surface over his broad thigh, gave tho
match a deliberate scratch and it OlazeC
up. Thea he deliberately lighted his pipe
and drew down the stakes.
The smart drummer does not know thai
the innocent old rancher pays his expenses
every trip on that trick, as he has the
side of a match box sewed in his trousers
beneath the tail of his long, shiny coat

pei Kearney to surrender his daughter
to her husband. Attorney ]. M. Gar
man, who represents Saba, brought
the matter before Judge Woodward
and the latter granted the writ order
ing Kearney to bring his daughter into
court and obey the decision of court In
the matter.
The writ was given to Sheriff James
Martin and he went down to the Kear-
ney residence on Halle street. He
was taken up to the girls room and
found her i'll in bed. She seemed flush
ed and excited and was constantly
watched by other members of the
family. DR.. Boyd Dodson was sent
for and gave the sheriff certificate
that the girl was i'll, suffering from
nervous prostration and was unable
to be moved. The sheriff returned
without the girl and stated to the
plaintiffs attorney that he would bring
her into court when she was able to
come.
This did not suit Saba, the husband
who believes his girl-wife would go to
him If given a chance, and says her
folks are keeping her in the house by
force.

OUTLOOK FOR ANTHRACITE.
The Philadelphia Ledger Finds Man'
Reasons for Encouragcment.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. >2.-The Ledger
says: The anthracite trade is looking
forward to an active fall business.
Last week the colieries in the Schuyl-
kill region worked five days, and were
il not for the scarcity of cars they
would probably have been operated for
six days. as they were in the previous
week. Until two weeks ago the miners
in the Schuylkill region had not aver
aged over 1la days work per week for
about eight months, and the colliers in
The Lehigh and Wyoming districts
Jared little, If any, better Now most
of the coal breakers in all of the an
thracite fields are working from five
To six days per week and on at least
three quarters time.
This month all the available rolling
stock. both old and new, has been
pressed into service to carry coal from
the mines to market. At tideWater
there have been for some days past
miles of cars loaded with coal awaiting
shipment, but owing to the stormy
weather vessels have been unable to
get into port until the last two or three
days. All the available bottoms are
now eagerly sought after to carry car
goes eastward both from New York
harbCr and Port Richmond, and Ves-
sci freights for this season of the year
have been higher than for several years
past.
The general resumption of work in
the anthracite regions has brought
gladness to the hearts Of not only the
miners but also to the merchants,
manufacturers, bankers and all others
doing business in Schuylliill, Lehigh
Carbon and other counties of this state
where for the past half-year there has
been much distress as n result of the
enforced idleness of the working peo-
pic. The markets appear to be now ir
excellent condition and without any
material surplus accumulation of coal
ard the dealers and consumers must
soon begin to buy freely, having so Ions
delayed stocking their yards and bins
with fuel for consumption during the
coming fall aud winter seasons. The
prices for coal are being firmly held
and there is already neard talk of 9
further advance, at least for the higl
Srade Goals before Sept. l.

GEN. SHELBY'S RETORTS.

General Shelby and his men were in
Texas when the news of the assassination
of Lincoln reached them. The men were
on review, and as the intelligence flashed
down the line from man to man some of
them foolishly cheered. Shelby rebuked
them, and sitting erect on his horse, with
his head barred and his hand raised on
high, he said: Boys, this is the heaviest
blow yet dealt us. Lincoln's slaughter
was the act of madman." Once Shelby
caught one of his troopers attempting to
conceal the carcass of a freshly killed
hog from which the blood had run so that
it was easily visible, What you got
there?' he asked. Been having my
clothes washed" said the soldier" You'd
better get back to camp" said the general,
"or your clothes will bleed to death. -

COAL POLICE DOOMED.
RumOrcd the Companies Nav Dis
pcnsc with the Famous system.

Hazlcton. Aug. 2.--lf the officials Of
the Lehigh Valley Coal company dU
not rescind their decision to employ
in the future only the regular watch
men about the collieries. and to dis
pensa with its coal and iron police,
it is feared the latter system viii be
doomed.
The 3ystem was organized by the
Varlous companies years ago, wher
lav!esoness and crime We're common in
this section, and great services have
been rendered by the members Of the
force. 1t is understood that the main
reason for the LehiGh Valleys action
IS that the company will save consider
able money by reorganizing a force
through its Watchmen.
A meeting of the representatives Of
the companies will be held in this city
this week at which the coal and iron
policemen will endeavor to persuade
the companies to break away from
their decision for the abolition Of the
system.

AN OLD RING.

What Il symbol of love is that circle of
By the token of which our devotion was
told!
How our youthful affection shines out, as
1t seems,
In the light of the romance around it
that CLEANS;
And it knows no beginning or ending, or
why
It's continuing course should not run till
we die.
And a sign and seal of our reverence
too,
Had a part in our creed, when that old
ring was new,
When a slender, light hand was upraised
to our lips
And our kisses were pressed on its slim
finger tips.
For that circle of gold seemed a hallow-
ing pledge
or a homage profounder than words
dared allege.
But the metal that's purest wears quick
est away,
And that old wedding ring has grown
thinner today;
Yet the hand which 1t graced graces it
in its turn
With magic the alchemist vainly would
learn.
For sweet charity's touch has so filled 1t
with gold
That that hand never lacked to the hun
CRY and cold.
And the summers may come, and the
summers may go,
And the winters may whiten the hair
with their snow;
Still the hand which lover delighted to
kiss
Wears the signet of half a century's bliss,
And no earnest of JOY in the heavens
above
Is more sure than that ring and its cycle
of love. New York Sun.
