THE FURNACE FIRE.

Along about the time the leaves begin to tumble

When all the bushes that were green are lookin
kind OF brown.
And old Jack Frost has put coat Of whitewash

It seems to make ma glad, somehow. to slip her

And sneak down stairs and pretty soon come rush
in back and shout.
'Pa, hurry up and dress yourself; the furnace
fires out!''
Then pa he kind Of means awhile and rolls around
IN bed.
Pretendin' that he's all wore out and sick and
nearly dead.
He raiscs on one arm and yawns and rubs his eyes
Lies down and pulls the covers up and goes to
sleep again,
And Just along about that time ma gives another
shout
That he had better hurry up-the furnace Ares
out.
Then pa hops out Of bed, mad as ever he can
be,
And rips his tr,users buttons o6 and nebbc
bumps his knee
And says il folks around this house bad any sense
they might
Look after things sometimes before they 90 to bed

And once piece Of board flew up and hit him in

And when he skins his knuckles he goes hoppin'

| trail reserve bank has been developed
| OtherwiSe, the duty of protecting the
gold reserve from expectation would
| fall upon 4,064 national and 5,64S state
banks and institutions. The impoSsl-
lbility of more than 5000 separate banks
protecting the gold reserve against ex-
portation would, of itself. necessitate a
central reserve bank, to which would be
delegated the sole responsibility of
protecting the reserve.
ut is my conviction that IL the re-
strictions of the American banking
laws were repeated and banking made
free there would be developed in the
United States a banking system sub
stantially on the lines of the Scotch
English system. In process of time one
of the systems of branch banks would
demonstrate it's fitness, and solely by
reason of its superior fitness-not by
force of legislation-it would be select
ed by the other banks as the central re-
serve bank. A bank thus evolved. 1t
may be assumed, would be fit both in
respect to technical responsibility and
in respect to the character and capacity
of it's directors and managers for the
government to enter into the ordinary
relationship of customer and bank.
Such is the central bank which advo-
cate-a bank produced by evolution
and controlled by the natural laws of
trade, instead of a bank controlled by
partisan, i'll considered and comprom-
Used legislation. Under free banking
laws many and perhaps ma
jority of the present banks would con-
tinue to conduct local. independent
banks for an indefinite period. Being
free, they could continue to their indie
pendent banks as long as they saw
fit. More than IA per cent of the banks
Of England have no branches.
"Candor compels me to admit that
there is and has been ever since the
destruction of the United States bank,
which was an entirely type from the
modern central reserve bank, a strong
prejudice in the American mind against
a central But it is my contention that
this prejudice grows out of miscon-
ception of the modern central reserve
bank and it's functions and powers. and
have that confidence in the intelli-
gence of the people which leads me
to believe that they are capable of ris-
ing above these preudices when they
understand the facts. The economic
propositions in regard to the use of
silver as the standard of value involved
in the political campaign of 1896 We're
much more difficult of comprehension
and ran counter to the strong preju-
dices of probably a majority of the
voters, but after the facilities We're ex-
planned the cause of sound money was
easily triumphant. 1t is my convic-
ton that another campaign OF educa-
ton would make the proposition Of
free banking possible of realization.

COAL MEN COM BINE.
Illinois and Indiana Operators Have
Succeeded in Getting Together.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 16.-Al the
coal operators in Indiana who a month
ago gave options on their properties
have been notified that the great coal
mine combine has been brought to a
successful issue and that the proper
ties will be purchased as soon as ex-
perts can be sent to the Indiana field
and investigations made of the mines.
The Indiana end of the gigantic COM
bine will be capitalized at Slo.00O,00O.
At the same time it is understood by
operators of this state that equa! sue
cess has crowned the efforts of the or
ganizers In the Illinois field, where the
company controlling the bituminous in
terests Of this state will be capitalized
on basis Of 100000
The understanding now is that the In
diana and Illinois enterprises are being
handled separately from the Ohio and
Pennsylvania end of the deal. In the
end, however, all the bituminous mines
will be brought together under one man
agement, somewhat after the organiza-
ton of the steel trust. but the individ-
ual fields will be classified separately
in order to best accommodate the vary
Ing Conditions Of the markets.
The Indiana owners first gave options.
on their properties, with the under
standing that the s15.ooo,00o company
would be formed by the middle of Octo-
Der. This deal, however. failed to be
carried to completion, and a second OPP
ton was obtained by the promoters.
This latter extends until February i,
and was secured thru the efforts of St
Louis operators, who month or two
ago met in secret session in Indianapo-
lis and completed details for launching
the scheme. Meeting with success in
this state, the organizers then turned
their attention to Illinois. where. it is
understood. C. H. Randle Of Chicago,
and John S. Bays, of Sullivan, Ind. as
purchasing agents of the eastern finan-
Gers obtained similar options.
Before the plans are altogether COM
pleted there is a vast amount of detail
to be gone thru, because the coal fields
are so varied in location and market
prices. Indiana, for instances, will be
divided into three sections. The Green
and Sullivan county fields, which have
been largely developed in the last few
years, together with the Ohio river field.
will be in one district; the block coal
field, while confined to one county
(Clay), will be district. ana the north
ern counties in this section of the state
will form the third district. In Hi
nois there will be dozen or more dis
tricts.
1t is understood here that the new In
diana company will be in existence in
time to deal with the United Mine
Workers In fixing the wage scale and la
Dor conditions for the scale year begin

A careful Mother.

This Is q story one woman is never
tired Of telling Of q mother whose child
had been i'll with scarlet fever. She
always emphasizes the fact, too. that
the mother was possessed, upon ordi-
nary occasions, with good sense and
would be called a more than ordinarily
intelligent woman. She was, too, a
more than ordinarily careful mother,
and it was as an illustration of this
that she told the story Of the care Of
her boy to the friend who now repeats
it. Not. as much was known about
sanitary conditions then as now, but
1t was not in a time Of primitive igno-
rance.
Il always believe in taking the great
est are to prevent contagion in any
disease" said the mother, land with
the fever l was extraordinarily care
full. Why. when the skin began to
peel l rubbed the child down with my
hands every day to remove every loose
fragment. let it fall into q cloth. and
then | gathered it up carefully and
shook it out the window"
The listener to that story laughed
then and there. to the great surprise
and indignation of the mother, and
laughs now at the ridiculous ignorance
of Il woman who claimed to have even
a vestige of common sense.-New York
Times.

The late Father Boyle: who for years
was q Of the most prominent and
popular Catholic priests In Washing
ton. had a great reputation asa wit.
Some Of his most intimate friends were
Professionals and members Of the Prot
estant clergy. A few months before,
his death he erected a missionary chap
Ell down by the navy yard and bought
at q junkshop an old bell which had
been discarded by n Of the Protes-
tant churches. He sent the bell to a
foundry in Georgetown and had sew
eral inches Of metal pared of the rim.
Having thus got rid Of a crack. the
harsh and d%iscordant tones Of the bell
became soft and sweet. Meeting a
Presbyterian minister not long after.
Father Boyle called his attention to the
change. and the latter could scarcely
believe 1t was the same bell.
what in the world did you do to
that bell" inquired the Presbyterian
pastor. ITO cause such a change in the
tone?"
1--WE blessed it and blessed It and
blessed it until we got the Presbyterian
devil out of it." retorted Father Boyle,
land then it sounded all right

up to i've years ago" said . pros.
pector to q st. Louis Republic reporter,
II didn't believe In such q thing Al q
mans hair standing on end" And.
then the old gentleman told the story
Of the fright that led him to change
his mind:
II was in the mountains Of Idaho
with a friend, and we ran short Of
fresh meat, SO one day I took my gun
and started OF alone. I went into q
ravfne and was making my way along
q little brook when I came suddenly
upon a queer sight. Not four feet in
front Of me, in the full blaze Of the
sun, lay four mountain lions asleep.
"For half a minute I thought them
dead, but an l stood staring at them.
with my heart in my mouth, every one
Of them sprank up with a growl. And
they faced around at me, looking ugly,
shifting the air, with their whiskers
drawn back, showing the white line
Of their teeth, switching their tails
and looking like demons.
"As for me, I stood rooted to the
spot. I couldn't move from sheer fright.
A queer. numb sensation began in my
ankles and frept up my body, and I
literally felt my hair rise.
81 stood there m%otionless for several
minutes. Then one of the beasts drop
ped his tail and whined. The others
followed his example. My presence
mystified them. A few seconds later
they turned about and crept away
down the ravine, looking back stealthi-
~ two or three times to see me.
when they were out Of sight, I be-
gan to breathe again. I didn't care to
hunt any more that day and made for
the camp at top speed. That was the
time my hair stood on end, and my
scalp was sore to the touch for a week
afterward."

Ditncult Dutch.

The Dutch language is of a good old
fashioned tongue. 1t is so difficult that
English speaking people cannot with
out difficulty acquire it. In fact, some
folk say it is more like unto English
than it is to German. The Beers in
South Africa use the Dutch tongue as
it was spoken 200 years ago..
