IN MAY FLICKER.
Possibility That the Wheeling Con-
sOlidAted Coal 90. Deal
MAY NOT Be PUT THROUGH,
owing to Differences That Have
Arisen with the Owners Of One Of
the Wheeling District Mines In
Guided in the Proposed Transae-
Hon-A Conference Nay DO Held
To-day Between the Promoters.

The prospects for the contamination
Of the deal between the Wheeling Con-
solldated Coal Company and eastern
capitalists are not so bright as they
were few weeks ago. A hitch that
has arisen with the owners Of one of
the local mines embraced may prove
fatal to its success. There are some
minor complications. but this is prac-
tlcally the great stumbling block.
The properties on which the company
had options Included about 10000 acres
Of coal land In Ohio and Marshall coun-
ties. Included were the Richland. Elm
Grove, BogE's Run and Glendale mines.
From what could be learned from one
Of the officers Of the company. 1t is
understood that the sale had been all
but made. but the goods could not be
delivered unless the mine was to go in
at the figures previously named. It
seems that its general managers word
was taken instead Of the option being
rahaed by the controlling company. A
conference of the interested partieS
may be held to-day, and there ID a very
slight possibility that some agreement
may be reached.
Aside from this feature, the recent
strinEeney in money in New York is
said to DO factor that will determine
the amount Of cash should the deal go
through. The purchase price for the
mines and lands is s1,25O,OOO, probably
one-third cash. the remainder in one
and two-year payments. Most of this
sum would go to the farmers, and the
eject Of this on business, as felt by
merchants and others, may be clearly
realized. The deals failure would re-
suit in disappointment that would be
generally felt. The promoters have
spent much time and money, and 1t is
sincerely hoped that they may achieve
the success deserved.

It developed yesterday that one of
the two Ohio county asplrants for the
Republican nomination for the oHice
Of state auditor had determined to
withdraw in the interest Of the other.
The news leaked out and was discussed
with interest in political circles, and
the consensus Of opinion was that with
one candidate before the state conven-
ton, Ohio county will stand an ex-
cellent chance of carrying of the cOvet-
ed plum.
The two local candidates for the
nomination were Circuit Clerk Charles
H. Hennlng and City Collector James
X. Hall. and 1t is the former who has
decided to withdraw from the race.

Saturday morning there was a colli-
sion Of two freight train sections at
Lewis Mills, about fifteen miles west
of BenaIre. The tralnmen all jumped,
with the exception of one brakeman,
who had his hand mashed. He was
the only one injured. There were
twelve cars wrecked, among them a
double-decker, which was loaded with
hogs, and the animals were accidentally
converted into pork. The Baltimore &
Ohio wrecklng train had the track
cleared after three hours Of delay to
traflc.

SCHOOL MELANGE.

The first term OF school Is . thing
Of the past, and what 10 the second2
Have we as teachers done our work 90
wen that it is impossible for US to say
we might have done better? Have We
remembered all through the four
months just finished that our great
work was character building, and can
we feel satisfied that the boys and girls
in our charge are. or should be, better
boys and girls than they were at the
opening Of the term, from the inStruc-
tion they have received at our hands?
In short, do we have a clear conscience,
arising from the fact that we have
done our whole duty as teachers, or in
other words, have we done the right
as God has given US to see the rlght?"
These are weighty questons-full OF
meaning-but they are questions that
every teacher ought to be able to an
swer in tho affirmative, and now as
we begin the new year 1t ID good time
to resolve to do even better work than
we have during the year Just closed.
This ought to be done. for the expert
ence of the year Just closed ought to
help US do better work. II we cannot,
as has several times been said in these
notes. we ought to leave the profession.
The times demand progressive teachers
and mo others need apply" in the very
near future.

Christmas exercises were held
throughout the ward schools, and
drawings representing Santa Claus
adorned nearly every blackboard. This
is Joyful time in the ehlld's life. and
that man or woman who will take
away from this Joy by eoldly telling
the child that mo such thing as q
Santa Claus ever has BEEN" is cruel.
We can all remember how we, when
children, lUnged to have Christmas
come, and what a Joy 1t was to US;
then why spoil the child's enjoyment in
slandering the patron saint Of Christ
mas times? Though there may not be
a veritable flesh and blood Santa Claus,
still the presents come all the same
and the child enjoys them all the more
by believing that they are remembered
by this friend of children. Then let
the child enjoy this belief handed down
from generation to generation. 1t will
do no harm. Now, in these Christmas
times let everything that would mar
happiness be laid aside, II 1t be pos
slble. Let Joy rule the hour. 1t is well,
now and then, to have these times
come, for as we go through this life
we have sorrow enough, and 1t is well
that 1t is all sweetened now and then
with such joy as should accompany
these times.

HIS WORD OF HONOR.

he order had been issued i'm Paris in
1871 by the new republican authorities
that communist insurgents who were
taken with arms in their hands should
be put to death Immediately. SO writes
French correspondent of the st. Louis
Republic. The order was being relent-
lesSly executed, when, in the garden of
the Elysee Palace, a detachment of re-
publican troops came upon a small band
of insurgents. Among them was a boy
Of fifteen years, still in short trousers
On the way the fifteen-year-old boy
broke out from among his companions,
and placed himself in front of the Col
onel who commanded the escort. Max
ing the military salute with a good deal
Of grace, he said:
Monsieur, you're going to shoot me,
| suppose.
Certainly, my lad, said the Colonel.
Taken with arms in your hands, it's all
up with You. That is the order"
All right said the boy. But see
here. | live in MiromesniI street, where
my mother is comsierge in house. |

bit, You know Come, Colonel, let me
run home awhile. / give you my word
of honor III come back to be shot,
The Colonel was struck with astonish-
ment at the boys demand.
You give me your word of honor, eh
that you'll return in time to be exc
cuted 2"
My word of honor monsieur."
well, WELL" said the Colonel go
home, boy"
The youth bowed and scampered off.
THE last we shall see of him." said
the Colonel.
Half an hour passed by. But all at
once the door opened, and the boy COM
munist popped in.
Here / am, monsieur he exclaimed
Il saw mamma, told her | gave her my
watch and kissed her. Now I'm ready"
Then the Colonel did what perhaps
none but rough soldier would have
done. He rose, came over to the boy
seized him by both ears, led him thus to
the door, and kicked him out of it, ex-
claiming: go out, you young brigand!
Get lack TO your mother as quick as you
cam"
With red face the officer returned to
his chair, muttering to his companions,
as he waved his hand toward the party
of the condemned insurgents. 80 they
have their heroes, then-those Sound
rels."

WHY SOME BIRDS HOP AND
OTHERS WALK.

A little bird sat on twig of tree,
A-swinging and singing as happy as
could be.
And shaking his tail, and smoothing his
dress,
And having such fun ais you never
could guess.
And when he had finished his gay little
song,
He flew down in the street and went
hopping along.
This way and that way with both little
feet,
While his sharp little eyes looked for
something to eat.
A little hoy said to him: Little bird
And tell me the reason you go with a
hop.
Why don't you walk as boys do, and
men,
One foot at time, like dove or a
hen?"
Then the little bird went with hop,
hop, hop;
And he laughed and he laughed, as he
And he said; Little boy, there are
some birds that talk,
And some birds that hop and some birds
that walk.
Use your eyes, little boy; watch closely
and see, &,
What little birds hop with both feet just
like me,
And what little birds walk, like the
ducks and the hen,
And when you know that You will know
more than some men.
Every bird that can scratch in the dirt.
can walk;
Every bird that can wade in the water
can walk:
Every bird that has claws to catch prey
with can walk,
One foot at time-that is why they can
walk.
But most little birds that can sing you
song
Are so small that their legs are not very
strong
To scratch with, or wade with, or catch
things; that's why
They hop with both feet Little boy,
good-by." Wide Awake.

Jimmy would have done it.
The stranger went down in his pockets
