Miners show Wisdom in Paying Heed to
Certain Phenomena.
We'll, that isn't superstition; it's
reality, and Coal Mine Inspector Den
man didn't seem a bit pleased with the
suggestion that superstition might
sometimes be responsible for the &C
tons of miners, says the Denver Post.
Goal miners" he went on to say, are
not superstitious. Hear noises? OF
course they do, but do people suppose
those noises are imaginary? It beats
all how little is known generally about
coal mining. Folks get it into their
heads" the inspector continued, fthat
a man who will quit work in a certain
part of a mine because he sees the rats
deserving that section is superstitious,
when, as a matter of fact, he simply
displays sound judgment. Very soon
after the rats quit sounds will be
heard, and later on a slide follows.
What would have happened to the man
had he credited his fears to supersti-
ton by disregarding the exodus of the
rats and the subsequent noises? Rats
are the first of a mines inhabitants to
realize danger, and then comes the
mule. Mar is the last. So 1t is only
natural that he should take as posi-
tive indications Of trouble the actions
of the others. and he should not be
regarded as a superstitious creature on
that account. After rats desert an en-
try it is next to impossible to get a
mule into it, not because the rats left,
but because the mule realizes the dan
ger. Left to themselves rats or mules

OF loss to the victors. The conditions of
the ground both at Glencoe and Glands
laagte appear to nave been most I'M
favorable for our field guns firing shrap-
mel only, and hence the figure of 2 per
cent is considerably exceeded, but at Riet-
fontein in the whole six hours fighting
resulted in a loss of 2 per cent, and thiS
can only be accounted for either by over
extension on one side or the other, or on
both. But all three actions argue a very
high degree of tactical skill and ability

become the purchaser SO as to keep
such a are sample of what is now al

to induce the owner to sell out, and

II PASTOR OUR.
Texas Minister Saw q Bull Fight ana
Was Forced Out.

Was Forced Out.
The Rev. w. Pope Pledger, pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church at
Beaumont, Texas, has resigned his
charge because of a storm of hostile
criticism which was brought about by
a recent act of his. Last spring, it is
said, there was a cheap excursion to
Monterey, Mexico, and the minister
n two deacons of his church took
advantage of the low rates. The an
nual bull fights were taking place at
the time. These exhibitions were given
on Sunday and were attended by the
preacher, the deacons and many of the
eXc~ursionists.
When the party returned to Beau
mont a storm of hostile criticism was
directed against Mr.. Pledger. He de-
CARED he attended the fights to-
broaden his fund of knowledge. and
not for the love of brutal sport. But
many members of his parish demanded
that he acknowledge his error and re-
pentance publicly, which he refused to
do. In his of resignation last
Sunday he said:
There is a bold disposition on the
part of many ministers to dictate to
their fiocks what they shall eat, drink
and wear. They would narrow the life
down to reading the Bible and going
to preaching and Sunday school.
1T is this class of ministers that
have produced a narroW-minded and
hide-bound church. If they had it in
their power, they would not allow the
Lord to saw anybody except in con-
formity with their notion of how such
a thing ought to be done.
These are the people who have
criticised me for going into saloons
n trying to win men for Christ.
They think a minister should carry
a great amount of dignity, wear a
clerical coat, a collar buttoned behind,
a vest that buttons somewhere in the
regions out of sight whether on the
side or at the back), and that. he should
have a certain manner and wear a
certain expression of the facial OF
which should go to say, I am the par
ish minister Such a minister may
serve the purpose of society functions,
but when it zones to reaching men and
leading souls to Christ. he is a dismal
failure. ] would rather be a first-class
mule than be that kind of a preach
err"
