Phil Penna, formerly president Of the
United Mine Workers. and now a coal
operator at Linton. while at the Deni-
son told OF the way he became trans
formed from miner to an operator,
says the Indianapolis Journal. ut was
purely an accident" said he. while
was president of the miners one Of my
relatives took 1t into his head that he
could sink a hole and do some mining
on his own account. He leased some
land with money he had saved as a
miner, and formed partnership with
two other miners to put the plan into
operation. The scheme was that one
OF the men was to continue at work in
the mines, earning living for the
families of the two who dug the hole
for the new mine. Before anything
could be done with this plan, however,
the operators bought of the miner,
with the intention of making it i'm
possible for the other two to do any
work, knowing that one man would be
unable to sink the hole alone"
In this extremity the relative came
to Mr.. Penna and told him of the plan.
and Mr.. Penna advised him not to try
1t. Finding him resolved to do it. Mr..
Penna took 5000 he had saved from his
salary and handed it to his relative.
telling him that If he needed any more
he would let him have it il he could,
With this money and some more the
men set at work. Some time after
ward Mr.. Penna's relative came and
said the "other man" wanted to sell
out, and could be bought for 5000. Mr..
Penna loaned him the money, which,
together with what he had previously
loaned at different times, made him
his relatives creditor to the extent of
$500. At last the coal was ready to work
and the relative came to Mr.. Penna
and told him that as he considered
that the financial aid offered was equal
to the labor performed, he would give
Mr.. Penna half interest in the mine to
pay back the money as he could out
Of the proceeds Of the operation of the
mine. Mr.. Penna, thinking to make
the load easier to bear. took the half
interest, and Mr.. Boyle, a rich opera
tor, who was chairman of the joint
convention recently held here, told
him, when he announced that he in
tended to operate: "Phil, if you need

SHOES OF souTHERNER
As . Rule Shorter Than the Northern
er's, with Higher Instep.

az NMo SnOrter IMAM the Northern.
er's, with Higher Instep.
There Is no doubt a marked differ
ence." said New Orleans shoe man
ufacturer, Gin the size and shape of
the average foot north and south of
Mason and Dixon's line. A great deal
of nonsense has been written about the
so-called Creole last but the shoe
best adapted to high-class southern
trade does possess certain distinguish
ing features of its own. It is shorter
than the northern shoe, to begin with.
and has a much higher instep. The
difference in the instep varies from one
half to one and half inches, which is
equivalent to saying that man with
typical southern foot could not get
into shoe made on typical nothern
last. The Creole model cuts less of
figure in the trade now than it did
formerly, for two reasons: First, peo-
pie wear looser footgear at present
than they used to, and the distinctive
points are not so noticeable, and, Sec
ond, an immense number of northern
folks have come into the south, and
the local manufacturers cater to their
patronage with a considerable percent
age of the factory output. But the ma
tive southern customer still calls for
short high-arched shoe. In the old
days every southern gentleman had his
boots and shoes made to order, and
the impression is even now pretty gen.
eral that no factory-made article can
possibly be as good as the hand-built
wares turned out by the antebellum
craftsman. That is a great mistake.
A high-class, machine-made shoe ia
better than anything produced by hand.
for the reason that the stitching is alb
solutely uniform throughout. In hand
work no two stitches are of exactly
the same tension, but on the machine
they are as like as so many peas. Tho
result Of this uniformity is that the
shoe holds its shape better and lasta
longer. That is one point out of many.
The only question is that of being fit
ted, and lastmaking has been reduced
to such an exact science that there il
no difficulty with any foot not abso-
lutely deformed. New Orleans Times

UNEXPECTED PRESENTS
Peculiar Transportation of words
Frequently Found In Modern
Writings.

If it happens that some public char
acter becomes the object of n set of
resolutions, cane or other testi-
monill, the printed account OF the
function presents some singular fea-
lures. Owing to n certain Carelessness
in the handling of the English Ian
guage-clastjc as that medium of
speech is-the writer makes himself
say exactly the opposite that he in
tends to say. A well-educated man
and n regular writer for publication
viii make this glaring error in the
majority OF his productions
For instance, the nation--that is, a
small portion-made up a pocketbook
TO buy Admiral Dewey q home. IN
every published account of that func-
ton, headlines and all-none is barred
that has come under the eyes of the
wrter-the text ran after this man
ner: Admiral Dewey Given n House."
The elision Of the proposition to-" in
the eyes of the writer of that line,
seems to have atoned for the blunder.
The effect is that Admiral Dewey was

Instances without number are print
ed wherein prominent educators, law
makers and others are formally picked
up--in language if not in physique
and presented to walking sticks under
the designation of canes. In ninety

recipient is made the subject instead
of the object of the sentence. This is
inconvenient for the men who are be-
slowing attentions on a corpulent per-
son.

TESTAMENT FOR AN EMPRESS.
Chinn's Sovereign Has Been Present.
ed with the Costliest Copy
Ever Printed.

The poorest can now buy the New
Testament in English for a nickel and
yet-strange contrast!-perhaps the
most sumptuous copy of the New Testa-
ment in existence is that splendid edi-
ton de luxe presented to the dowager
empress of China on the occasion of her
slEtieth birthday, the presentation hav-
ing been made in due form by the Brit
lsh and American ministers. The book.
says Leslie's Weekly, is a royal quarto
volume, 2X10X13 inches in size and was
manufactured by the PRESBYTERIAN
press and Canton silversmiths. 1t has
silver covers, embossed with bamboo
and bird designs, and is printed on the
finest paper with the largest type, and
with border Of gold encircling each
page II was encased in Il solid silver
casket, ornamented with symbolical
designs, the whole weighing 1917
pounds, and upon the cover of the
casket there is gold plate which re-
lates that the book is the gift of the
Christian women in China.
Not long after the presentation of
this magnificent volume the eunuchs
were sent from the palace to the book
store to ask for a common copy, so
that the empress and her ladies might
compare the two texts. Surely the cir
culahon OF such a book is one of the
wonders of the world! Age cannot
Wlther, nor custom stale, its infinite
variety"

Since strangers are TO come among

On some roadways can be seen piles
Of rock and dirt left by the original
original mound builders. And In those
parts, too, no attempt has been made
to rear and preserve sidewalks strong
enough to tide over muddy season.
In many cases streets, yards and va
cant lots present careworn, distressed
and unkempt looks. This condition
of untidiness will naturally jar harsh
ly on the senses OF visitors. why can

thing done through organized effort

would be trifing while the results
would be great and lasting.

convention, offers $3.50 for the pretti

A large number OF official documents
from the war department has recently
been received In Oklahoma City, hav

others in the city. They will be very
much used oy the club women and the
men during the coming political CAM

that last week the school board of thar
city closed the schools on account Of
the dangerous condition yof the old
school building. The brick Of which
the building is built were poorly burn
ed and IL Is badly cracked. While IL
mig hit stand for years, the board and
most of the patrons of the school
deemed that it was not proper to run
any risk by continuing the school, and
as many of the children had already
left the board closed all the rooms.
At meeting held Saturday night
the wholesale and retail LIQUOR dealers
pledged donation OF $4,000 TO the
Rough Riders entertainment commit
tee. The donation is most thoroughly
appreciated, because the other mer-
chants have been holding back until
the liquor dealers had come up with
their donations. The donation is an
excellent one and sets the pace for the
other business interests. The Qener-
Gus proportions Of the donations are
due TO the public spirit and enterprise
OF several of the liquor dealers who
worked diligently until the good work
was finished.
