ANTHRACITE COAL CONDITIONS.

The August letter of the Anthracite Coal Opera
tors Association says:
Buyers still hold fair stocks of coal, which
they realizing the monthly advance in price.
and are consequently buying only enough to fill
the demand. 1t is to be expected that this
will continue until September or October, when
the fixed winter price will have been reached, and
the demand for immediate consumption increases
sufficiently to absorb the larger part of the stocks
In hand. The labor situation is still unsettled and
there possibilities of further difficulties. though
they may be tided over until next April. The COM

BARRIERS ARE BUSY MEN.

The man with the whiskers like a stable scrubblng brush strengthened up in the barber chair in a down town hostelry one day not so very long ago, and after the genial barber had squirt ed some fine air into his hair. ears and nostEls, said to the white-coated ma nipulator of the razor:
 Young Sell5w, you look as If you might be pretty smart man. Now in shaving me, how many strokes do you think you made with the razor?"
 "Oh, don't know, lam sure" replied the barber.
 Well. give guess. Ididn't ask you to tell me exactly how many. I only think"
 "Well. I presume about l!O, or possi~ bly 175."
 You are a good guesser, I don't think" replied the man In the chair. "If should break the news to you ab- ruptly you would have a At. So I will just give you the first figure. That fig ure was T."
 "Then I was too high? made only seventy-fvc strc,ies,' answered the tonscrialist
 You made just I57 strokes"
 The barber gaspcd.
 That's just what you did, and If you dor't believe me you ask somebody to count the next time you shave a fellow. 1 hardly ever get shaved now when don't count the strokes a barber makes over my face. It's never less than 800 and many times the number is evei, more than you have made today. court strokes only when you make q downward movement with the .aZor."
 "Hullie gee!" ejaculated the barber. I shave about thirty-five persons a day" Then he picked up a. piece of paper and began 10 figure. 'rm goin' 10 strike. that's a cinch Too many strokes for me. If count 600 to every person. that makes 21,O0J. All that for g. Nit I'm going Co paste bills

THIRTY YEARS A SENATOR.
Career Which Was Started by the Toss
 of Hat.

If Senator Francis Marion CockreN, of Missouri, lives to complete his fifth term in the senate, he will have equal ed Benton in i1ngth of service. and. ac- cording to his admirers. win have sur passed the popular achievements of that Missourlan.
 Born in 1894. in Missouri, and gradu- atIrS at Chapel Hill college, In that state. he 'pnacticed law until the out break of the civil war. Entering the confederate army he served with dis tinctiJn, and attained the rank of brigadier-gencral. At the close of the war he resumed the practice of law, and in 1874 was elected to the United States senate as the successor of MT. Carl Schurz. and took his seat In 1875 He has several times been reelected. and his present term will end in 1905, making a continuous senatorial service of thirty years.
 Senator COckrell owes h,s political ca reer to a defeat and to his rlagnani- nous acceptance of 1t.
 Prior to 1874 he had never been q can ddate for any office. and apparently had no political aspirations. Yielding to the influence of his associates, how ever, he became in that year a candi- date for the nomination of governor. One of Ehe most fervid contests ever kn-wn in Missouri politics resulted, and the excitement reached its culmi- nation in the state convention.
 Mir. Cockrell was defeated by MT. C. II. Hardin by one-sixth of one vote. His friends expected a graceful but not cheerful acceptance of the result. The prize so nearly won was probably lost forever and they knew he must feel keenly disappointed.
 But when the decisive ballot was an- nounced. Mir. Cockrsll jumped to his feet, threw ceilingward his gray slsuch hat, and with a ringing shout that echoed among the Galloway hills, call ed for three cheers for the nominee.
 When the convention recovered from It's surprise it gave the cheers, but they were for MT. Cockrell The convention cheered and cheered until he became it's herSl and this popularity made him an invinclble candidate for the United States senate.-Philadelph! Saturday Evening Post.

 The only proposition now before the legislatur with reference to the prison is to appropriate $25,O00 for the, i'm provemerl4 and maintenance of the pen- itentiary. That is a fair sized sum of money, but 1t wi,l disappear in prison improvement at Yuma just as tha, sand disappeared in that slush, and to no more profitable purpose.
 The prison need not be removed. but the legislature can beLker serve the territory by providing for the removal of the prisoners by catering into con- tracts for employing them where there Is something for them to do; by nr- ranging for the transfer of them to Fols-m or San Quentin. whs.e .aey may be pun to work; or, they might ba put into the custody of our sister territory, New Mexico. which has a de- cent and mod m penitentiary.

 some one with the power of ubiquity,
 but with only human ABRAHAM uud Tstanding had set LINCOLN. out to select from
 am-ng the n.w born one who was to become the greatest of his time he would hardly have taken the trouble to enter tumble down log cabin in Larue. then Hardin county, Kentucky, where a babe of an hour lay. There was nothing of promise in the surroundings and certainly nCth- ing in the ancestry of the babe. His parents were the poorest of the pocr for the father had bsen unable 10 sur round the mother with the comforts which her condition then demanded. Of the family nothing was known be- y-nd the fathers grandfather. The look backward was over lowly plain of unbroken commonnsss. There was nowhere a remarkable trait which 1t might be reasonably hoped would re- fAptdI III SONlc iGSGIc SSh-- asi'''' The father of the babe was d man With hoe and in all human reason- ing, the babe and his descendants were destined to be slaves of the soil, the despisad Of the earth.
 That lcwly babe was Abraham Lin coin who. in llstle more than a half century was to be greater than any American had ever been. He was to tower above all men whom his c,untry had evar produced; he was to be ac- knowledged to be the chief creation of the century in all lands. ''he only man of modern times in any land Fitted against nm for this place of supreme L-nor was Napoleon.
 There was nothing in Llncoln's early childhood that gave an earnest of his coming greatness eXceiE his industry, his honesty and lis fllal affection, but many youths iE whom these qualities appear in q higa degree do not become great. ID them, though, in Lincoln were later joined Q wonderful strength of purpose and great moral courage. Every one who came to know him had confidance in him His influence swept away opposition, but moved slowly at flrSt. He was defeated as candidate for the legislature. but h. carried his own precinct almost unanimously. He was lire esistI5le where he was known and So whan knowledge of him spread throughout his state the state was his. When the nation knew him it made him its leader. Lincoln did not seem to be moved by ambition. He never per formed an at that was not justin d by it's object and it is not on record that he ever sought the empty ap- plause of the people. He had a gift of humorous story telling which is fatal to oratory, and he never ranked as an orator Yet his Gettysburg speech is held ao be the most masterfu effort since the days of Webster and his sec ond inaugural address fell little short of 1t. He cut all anecdote out of both, so we may see how little he cared for the fame of an orator which he could have won so easily.
 Of Lincoln's public or private life even a word is superfluous. There is no other American of whom so much is recorded by historians and there Is no other man whose every day life has been laid 90 bare by biographers and nowhere else is disclosed such perfec tlOn of AmsTicanism and manhood.
