RAILROAD SPIKE AND IT'S LUCK

fortunes Opportunity Develops Out of
Mans Craze for Whtttatns.
Opportunity frequently develops
from the most trivial of circumstances.
A striking instance Of this truism is
manifested in the case Of a man for
merly bereft Of the good things of life
and now riding the crest OF financial
prosperity. 1t all arose from his craze
Tor whiting. Sitting one day in the
smoker Of Pullman attached to
western train, he picked up piece OF
wood and began idly fashioning it into
shape. Perhaps because Of the jour-
ney, and perhaps, too. from the shape
OF the wood. it began to assume the
form OF railroad spike, the kind used
In fastening the iron rails to the wood
en- ties. When the spike was complet-
ed the car was still travelling on it's for
ward way, so to add to his occupation
and make 1t pass the time away the
owner Of the inventive penknife be-
gan to tunnel the wooden spike on
each OF Its four sides until finished it
looked like symmetrical implement
with edges resembling the petals of
hover. why don't you patent that
srike?" quietly asked prominent rail-
road official of the party as he watched
the development of the stick of wood.
Don't know;~I'm sure. Never thought
OF it. Guess it isn't worth much any
way" replied the whittier laughingly.
But the idea chung to his memory
even If at the time he had smiled it
away as Incredible. A year later

on his person unmistakable signs OF
the dawn Of good fortune. YES" he
answered. agreeingly, II owe it all to

That the day of romance has not en-

In the little town of Otferle. It will be
remembered that short time ago Mr.

of married life of more or less felic-
ity They both expressed themselves
rs pleased with the fact that they were
once more free co pursue the Elusive
vision of happiness along separate
lines and all who knew them supposed
that their intimate association in the
marriage tie WAS thing of the past.
Romance is. however, not q question
of age, and these people soon found
that in separating they had not found
the true wellspring of content as they
anticipated, and what no. one who
knew them expected has really come
to pass. Alter n few mouths of lOneli-
ness thew commenced u correspond

The young man entered the School
from Kingfisher, o. T. When Admire
entered the school here he wore a pair
Of trousers which attracted some little
attention from the fellow students of
the young man. The trousers were of
good material, but were of a blue cloth
Of a pronounced pattern, and bore down
the sides of each leg a liberal stripe of
darker cloth. The style then being out
of vogue, his fellow cadets first mildly

collectively. Two of his assailan.s re-

fallen down stairs. They were in the

COAL PRODUCTION REDUCED,
Anthracite Operators Decide TO Cur
tail the Output


tail the Output.
New York, April Upon the heels of
thes announcement of the settlement Of.
labor difficulties in the anthracite coal
field came the word that all collieries
that have been running full time since
the termination of the strike last Octo-
Ter had agreed 10 curtai production.
commencing With the present week.
The mines hereafter will close two days
in each week Fridays and Saturdays.
The new anthracite schedule we..t in
to effect yesterday The rate for the
spring opening is 81 "A ton, reduction
OF about % cents, from the winter ached-
uie just abrogated. The new schedule
for the coming year is 81 for the spring
opening. S4.95 for the summer and $3.50
for the winter period.
This is the duh season in the anthra-
cite business. which accounts not only
for the low price, but for the curtail-
ment of output. All the companies cars
are loaded and storage places are filed
and the railroads want consumption to
catch UP with the supply in sight and
mine.
1t was ascertained that the indepen-
dent operators had declined to sign the
contract proposed to them by the am
thracite roads. The contract allowed
the operators So per cent of the tidewa-
ter price on egg, stove and chestnut; so
per cent on pea and 40 per cent on buck
wheat and rye. This represented an ad-
vance to the operator of per cent on
egg, stove and chestnut; 10 per cent on
pea and s per cent on buck wheat and
rye.
1T was reported that the reason the
independents refused to sign the con-
tract at the advance was the fact that
the Morgan roads demanded that the
contract be perpetual. Heretofore the
contracts were for period of years,
and the independents argued that per-
petual contract amounted to a sale of
their mines at the prices indicated.
No trouble Isl feared from the failure
of the Independents to sign the con-
tracts. The developments in the anthra-
cite field have been such recently that
there is very little fight left in the indie
pendents, and no chance of a revival of
the independent coal road project. How
ever, rather than sign perpetual con-
tract they propose to hold out, and pre-
fer to accept the old tidewater rates Of
60 per cent. 40 per cent and 80 per cent
for the various sizes
