 If those gentlemen who laid them- selves a willing sacrifice on the altar of fame and broke into the Constitu- tional Convention can't give their faithful attendance on the sessions of the Convention. the people would like for them to resign so that the work of those who are faithful in every duty may not be battle doored and shuttle cooked to the jeopardy of the ratifica- |tion of the instrument when completed.
 These are the impressions l nave gained from many people.

As the season advances, you are natur- ally considering the question of your winter supply of coal.
 We beg to call your attention to our celebrated "Dixie Lump" which we con- slider superior to any coal mined in the State. The strong points that recom- mend 'Dixie'' to the consumer are, that it is free from slate, easy to light, makes hot fire and burns up entirely to red ash, leaving no Cinkers.
 We have sold during the past season eight thousand tons of "Dixis' coal for grate purposes. and there is 70 question but what we will sell the same parties again, as it has given by far the best sat- isfaction of any coal offered in this ter ritory.
 Experience has taught us that it is poor policy for coal consumers to delay purchasing their supply too late, from the fact that prices advance and the demand increases as the cold weather comes on.
 We shall be pleased to make you prices and will do all in our power to please you.

Last and most important, we find the
impulse to create. to express through
ones activity ones own inner life. In
children this impulse shows itself in
the love Of "making-up' and acting
out stories In which they themselves
are heroes and heroines, in the inyen-
ton. Of wonderful new designs in build
ing, modelling, and in modifying all
their actions to suit their personal
ideals. In this way the ems Of intel
lectual' selfhood, the feeling Of individ-
u,al power, grows against q background
of initiated activities derived from ones
physical and social surroundings.

From the treasury department Of the
United States and into that same de-
partment, a never-ending stream of
gold Is pouring. It is coined gold, at
that, and every piece of 1t is kept in
strictest account. Yet the stream out
going is always the larger: the incom-
ing gold is eve SO great as that
which is pouring out.
That is because gold is boarded.
Many and many a person in the United
States has the saving habit. that the
banks know nothing about. The old
stocking. the little wooden chest. the
iron toy bank-all these gather in part
of that outgoing stream, and that is
why the treasury balance always indi-

I suppose that my father had got his

for as soon as breakfast was over he
laid them before Mr.. Manuel.

Lennon to go fol- a walk with you.
You know the tree that stands by itself
on the second ridge? Close beside it is
an open piece of ground. Get him to
walk up there with you, and I and my
son will meet you as though by acct
dent. I can then ask Lennon my ques-
tion."
"And if he makes a satisfactory re-
ply I asked, will you give him a
chance Of taking your life? After all
that we have suffered at his hands, I
think, father, it is Quixotic. If some
one must fight him, let me do It,"
STEADY, Jack; you're not at all phil
osophical this morning. In the first
place, it is just as Quixotic for you to
make a target of yourself as it is for
me to do so. In the next, you are look
ing at things from our standpoint, and

relative, and it was In a great measure.
my fault. Moreover, he has a lively
recollection of the thrashing I gave
him, and no man worth his salt would
sit down under that sort Of treatment
and not make an attempt to return it.
I shall give him a chance to explain
certain matters, and If his explanation
is satisfactory, and he wishes to go on
with the quarrel, then. assuredly. one
or other Of us will be carried home.
Now,s don't discuss this point any
further, Jack.

said Manuel. "and he is terribly anx-
ious about the Nightingale. I didn't
tell him that she is at the bottom of the
sea. I'll leave you to do that, and you
may take it for granted that within an
hour I shall bring him to the spot you
mention"
We slipped away quietly, and climbed
the hill by a path that led through the
bush, so that we were speedily out of
sight of the villagers, and when at last
we gained the plateau upon which we
hoped the affairs Of the Ragged Thir-
teen would be wound up, we looked
over as peaceful a scene as any upon
Gods earth. And yet here were we, as
evidence that mans passions can pol
lutte a paradise. Here we were waiting
for one who would spill our blood with
as little conjunction as he would have
overturned a glass of water. My heart
beat fast when I saw the two figures
approaching us, Lennon leaning on
Manuel's arm and playing the blind
man to perfection.
