felt better for doing so.
In a few moments he got up. looked
through one of the forward windows,
and called my attention to what
seemed like a cloud-bank on the hori-
zon, straight ahead.
There's old Guajan," he said. THE
white patch you see in the middle is
the surf on Cocos, and that furthest
point to the left is Orote; Apra lies
just behind it, and Agana beyond.
There's nothing but an open road
stead, with no holding ground, in front
of the town; so we generally lie inside
the reefs at Apra, about two miles
from a little wharf at the end of the
Agana road. Wen be abreast of Cocos
in something over an hour. Wait un-
til you can just see the surf through
the starboard port, down aft, and'then

My feeling of anxiety may be imag-
ined as / stood waiting, below decks,
for that tip of coast line to come in
sight. The loss of taffrail log screw,
from various causes, is frequent oc-
currence; and | was greatly relieved
to find the line still whirling every
time the screw twisted it taut. To
haul it in an instant too soon would be
to throw me more or less out of my
reckoning, and each time the record
ing swivel buzzed 1 feared the end Of
Cocos might appear before it could
register again; but luck was on my
side. The patch of white surf and the
registering twist came together, and
after hauling in the line the dial
marked exactly 43 miles. So that,
adding the distance to Point Orote,
I now knew the northerly limit of the
reef lay just IS geographical miles
from the outer head of Port Apra.
slowed my log carefully away in its
box, knowing that if others had hap
pened to see the record they were sure
to be Is miles out of their reckoning.
Then 1 hunted up the senorita for
farewell chat, pointing out Umata bay
and the different points alongshore as
we passed. 1t was midafternoon when
we rounded the point and began to
whistle for pilot. Either the captain
or myself could have taken the steam
ar in with reasonable safety, from our
knowledge of the soundings; but we
we're running no risks whatever.

A Dainty Ribbon Box.

Anyone who has upset all her ribbon
baskets, trinket boxes and dressing ta-
BILE drawers in search of the mar
row ribbons which she uses as draw
strings for her lingerie would hail with
delight dainty little box designed ex-
pressly for such as she. The box it
self is just big enough to hold two large
spools, on which are wound satin ric-
bon. The box is covered with INFER
woven ribbon of two or more tints and
lined with white soft silk; on the inner
side of the cover an ivory bodkin is
fastened. The two big spools are wound
with bebe ribbon, one in blue and one
in white or one pink and one blue
or both white, according to ones fancy.
Not until one has tasted the joy OF hav-
ing place especially designed for
those taglirg, elusive, narrow ribbons
and a bodkin that can be found wheh
wanted can the comfort and conven-
ience of these pretty trifies be appre-
ciated.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

the extensive Developments being made
by Colonel w. P. Rend, Of Chicago, at

the Pittsburgh Coal Company. Colonel
Reud has been pushing his West Viz

10000 acres Of conl, and Is preparing TO
mine from two sides OF the same hill.
AS the coal is nine feet thick. and rises
as It penetrates into the hill. he main

him in producing cheaply.

the Pennsylvania line from the Corpor-
ate limits Of Wheeling to the upper
limits OF Brooke county the entire strip
being about twenty miles long and av-
eraging seven miles wide. This coal Is
the outcrOp at the river Of the Pitts
burRh seam, and shafts are being sunk
and equipments provided for extensive
shipments by river and rail.
From this summary Of what is being
done in West Virginia, 1t will be seen
that there will be restrictive checks on
any and all tendencies to boost the
price OF coal by arbitrary methods
through consolidation. about which
there Is growing intensity Of criti-
ctsm. In conversation with some OF
the men who are engaged in these
West Virginia enterprises, many of
whom IRE experienced Pennsylvania
and Maryland operators, they give as
q reason for their coming to this state
that West Virginia presents opportu-
mites now for making Investments that
viii continue to grow valuable and by
reason of the eXtenslVeness of her de-
poslts OF coal, she will be able to pro-
duce It at all times with such low cost
as to afford a market when other dis
trIcts are depressed or idle.

Mr.. KatZenstein replied that 1T was
unfair to charge the refrigerator car

STABLER WANTS TO KNOW.
H. c. Stabler of Yuba City responded
to Chairman Stephens invitation TO
express an opinion on the subject I'M
der consideration He said that Mr..
Stephens had evidently discovered
something in the new tariff rates inn
posed by the refrigerator companies
which would initiate against fruit
growers, and he thought the proper
thing to do was to find out just what
that something was and then take steps
to offset it. He had been informed
through the newspapers, he said, that a
combine had been formed by the two
refrigerator car companies, and that
they We're controlled by the Earl Fruit
Company and Porter Bros, shippers.
While he did not know the truth or fall
sity. of the statement, it was evident
that the shipping firms had made
money. and that the growers were max
ing nothing,
