evening he let the mill run and went to
bed. Later in the night there was quite
a smart blizzard blowing and the wheel
went round and round accordingly. The
engineer got up pretty early in the morn
ing, but the boys say the wheel had not
only filled the tank, but had pushed the
cover up seven feet, and the water was
that high above the upper edge of the
tank! Anyhow there's ice enough
around the sides to account for surplus,
for it was 200 below zero in the morning.

A FEW BRIGHT SAYINGS.

Loneliness is the greatest foe a wo-
man has to fight.
Every field of labor seems more fer
tile than our own.
The hardest thing in the world is to
endeavor to be brilliant to order.
The fragrance of fresh flowers is the
nearest thing in nature to caress
The very thing that we wish to see
most in the newspapers is the item we
are apt to overlook.
The person most suspicious regarding
another's actions is generally the one
most in need of watching.
The longest day is generally the one
when you get ready in the morning for
something that doesn't occur until
night.
1t isn't always the girl who wears the
biggest bunch of roses and violets to
the game who knows the most about
football.
There may be some people so i'm
bued with anglomania that they can
see something beautiful in a fog, but
their name is not legion
The fragrance of a flower or a long
forgotten strain of music has the power
to paint mental picture for us that
we thought had faded into oblivion.

AN ENDLESS CHAIN.
Business Man Tangled Up with Gem

Il suppose we all get caught at

perience that was particularly morti
flying to one who has been in business
TO" forty years.
Il received, some time ago, a letter
from party living in little town in
the west, who wanted small bill of
goods.
Not finding his name in either Dun's
or Bradstreets, | wrote the postmaster
for the mans staLding. | received Il
very tlattering letter in return. saying
that the party l inquired about was
one of the towns solid citizens and
good for any amount.
This allayed any suspicion that |
had, and L forwarded the goods
ordered.
Il sent three bills before | received
an answer, and then it was not salts
factory | allowed the matter to run
Tor some time, and, at last, getting
saucy answer in reply to letter of
mine asking for settlement, | lost my
temper and wrote the postmaster II
letter, telling him to hand the matter
over to the leading attorney in town
for collection, no matter what the cost
would be-
1T wasn't long before | received an
answer from the postmaster saying he
mad followed my instructions and
handed the matter to an attorney, who
had succeeded in collecting the am
cunt, but mt considerable expense.
In fact, the attorney had bill against
me for SO more than he had collected,
and that he (the postmaster) had paid
it and would look to me for the
amount.
Here was situation. l hadn't
instructed the postmaster to act as my
cashier, but thinking that was the
western way of it, and not caring to
have the fool postmaster lose the
amount, | sent him Il check, and con-
sidered the matter closed.
But the other day | CHANGED to meet
a party who formerly lived in that
town, and | asked him if he knew the
party who had beaten me out of
bill of goods. He said he did He was
general utility man for the whole

fighting it and caring for it has amount
ed to the same sum.
The work of watching this great fire
is interesting. As soon as the bip
gangway circulating the fire was put
through, water pipes were placed along
its entire course, and every hour in
all the years that have interviewed a
strong force of water is kept in them.
AT convenient distances are taps. All
this is made necessary by another fea-
ture of the fire. As the coal burns
away it falls in smotherng ashes. nm
til the roof of rock that confines it is
visible twenty feet overhead. As soon
as there is fall of several feet, expos-
ing the roof. one of the watchmep
whose duty it is to tramp unceasing
around the circuit of the fire, watching
for just such a thing, taps the water
| pipe, and plays water upon it until
the great smouldering mass is cold
Then gangs OF men are sent in to set
up massive timbers. These big props
some Of them twenty inches ia diam
eter, support the roof, in place of the
coal which has been burned away
The surface of the ground over this
big fire is populated; there are several
houses on it, and much valuable prop
erty. If the roof was allowed to re-
main unsupported, as the coal burns
upwards it would cave in, with possible
loss Of life. This is what the company
has to guard against constantly, for not
only would the surface be affected, but
there is every possibility that the drag
in the cavern would affect other portions
of the mine.
