Coal Found in Jewell County.

In this weeks Smith county Jour.
nal, we notice an article containing
the news that coal had been found in
Jewell county at the depth OF 100 feet.
The first vein struck by the prospect
orS was l6 inches thick and one farth.
er down was found to be fully thirty
inches thick. Salt water and ire clay
was found just before striking the
coal. This tact of nnding fire clay
above the coal will perhaps influence
neighbor Close, Of this city, to put
down prospect hoIe to see what he
has under his Ire clay.

Last election. for the first time in
my life said the real estate dealer,
q had a little bet on. 1t was only $40,
and was bluffed into making it, but
they will never bluff me again. l
have had deals of $4,000 impending
and have not worried half as much as
over that wretched little bet.
TRY as hard as l could, l could not
keep down my excitement. l read
politics more than ever before. turn
ed out to political meetings. l found
myself bawling and cheering for my
party. l was even ready to turn out
and carry torch.
THAT little bet got me into a score
of arguments and wrangles and final
" produced a GOODNESS on the part of
several lifelong friends. I had it in
my mind all day and dreamed of it at
night, and on election day l went
around like a man having a fortune
at stake.
For two hours, while the returns
were coming in, 1 was on hot bricks,
and when my candidate was finally
announced a winner 1 scarcely had
strength to crawl home and go to bed.
81 may take flyer now and then
on a horse race or try to pick out a
winning yacht, but you hear me when
say I've made my last political bet.
It's too exciting for my nerves.

for the coming cold weather. John
was almost always one of these, for his
knowledge of household economy was
of value in making the purchases. Sew
eral days were occupied usually in this
journey and this little period of change
and activity was welcomed by these
men of the mountains and the woods
One evening while his "pard' was
absorbed in game of cards, where the
bags of gold dust lay thick upon the
table, John wandered away through
the streets of civilization. The sun was
just resting on the horizon before it
babe goodnight to the pretty little
mountain town. And up and down the
street, lined with graceful trees and
cosy homes, were to be seen the chill
dren in their happy play. And the
hour was full of peaceful foreboding
that the twilight brings to the tired
son of man. But of these things about
him John seemed to have little knowl
edge or care, until one of the homes
he passed by seemed for a moment to
attract him. 1t was a low cottage
standing in the midst of a flower
decked lawn, and over its windows
climbed and bloomed the honeysuckle.
The sight of it stirred something in
the breast or brain of this man, as if
a dream forgotten had almost come
back to him. He looked again at the
house and from the rear of it chasing
joyfully in pursuit of playful spaniel,
came a golden-haired child, very fair
to look upon.
AS she ran toward the walk in front,
keeping close after her playfellow,
woman stepped out on to the broad
porch under the honeysuckle and called
to her:
Madeline, COMETS supper time"
MISUNDERSTANDING! In a flash the
curtain of darkness lifted from the
mans brain and the life that he had
forgotten all came back to him. The
magic word, the name of his own little
girl, spoken by another mother to an
other Madeline was the key that start
ed again the wonderful wheels of men,
DRY. The joy of feeling, remembering,
of living was his again.
The woman on the porch was almost
frightened when she saw the strange,
rough man take her little girl in his
arms and kiss her passionately. And
the child was frightened, too, at the
expression on the mans face-so fierce,
so passionate, as he compelled his
recreant memory to bring back to him
that which it had hidden all these
years. He turned and left the child,
who ran to her mother, not a little
shaken by her strange friends actions.
Four days later the darkness was
turned to light and the mourning to
Joy and his own Madelines question
had been answered. And week later
from the Madeline in the east to the
Madeline in the west there came a box
containing the most beautiful of
French dolls. and with it was a note
which explained how she of the west
had found a father for she of the east.

Observation-Disclosures
Are Of The Gang Who Killed Ana.
darko Sheriffs.
GOVERNOR OFFERS REWARD.

Guthrie, Ok, Jan. 1S.-Warren Ben
nett, the deputy United States marshal
for the Usage Nation, was here with
prisoner and stated that the men who
killed Sheriff Smith and Beck, near
Anadarko, are two of the escaped con-
victs from the federal prison at Fort
Leavenworth. five of whom are still at
large. Bennett, with the field deputies,
have been on the trail of the fellows
for three weeks and ran them out of
the Usage Nation only last week. At
that time he telegraphed Sheriff Smith
at Anadarko, and told him to be on the
lookout for the pair, as they were
desperate and bad characters to deal
with. Bennett says beyond any doubt,
Smith knew the men whom he attacked
in the Indian hut, and this made him
more anxious to capture them.
Governor Ferguson has offered re-
ward of $500 each for the arrest of the
men who murdered the Anadarko
officer.
Secretary Grimes who has been at
Anadarko, gives a detailed statement
of the killing of Sheriff Frank Smith
and Undersheriff George Peck. A new
posse was in pursuit of the outlaws.
Bloodhounds were being used and tele-
grams were sent to the various offices
in Oklahoma, Texas and Indian Terri
tory. The men took money, watch and
revolver from Sheriff Smith and red
bill book containing transportation,
official and private papers.

THEIR DIGESTION is GOOD.
Boys Sometimes Eat as Much as
Dozen Grown Persons.

Boys Sometimes Eat as Much as a
Dozen Grown Persons.
The appetite of the average small boy
is one of the marvels of the century.
An English school-master who has
made a special study of the gormandiz-
ing capacity of his pupils testifies that
while he found a superabundance of
capacity, there was actually little or
no limit. Perhaps, after rich cake,
both fruit and plain, the first favor,
according to the school-master, is con-
densed milk. This is often eaten with
out a spoon by simply making two
small holes in the top of the can and
placing the lips against them. Then
after this came chocolates, chocolate
cream, chocolate candy, chocolate
cake. 1T may be thought 1 am ex-
aggerating," he says, when l say that
1 have seen a boy of ten years eat
in a single afternoon enough food to
satisfy an adult party of twelve per-
sons. 1 have myself known a little,
frail boy to eat a portion of a rich
cake, a third of a one-pound can of
condensed milk, four ounces of mixed
chocolate, a handful of assorted
sweets, two oranges, one apple, four
gingerbread cakes, a dozen Brazil nuts
and two large pieces of peppermint
candy. Did it make him ill? Did he
lie down and await the coming of the
medical man with the stomach pump?
Not he; he just had one or two faint
symptoms of uneasiness which he
quickly dispelled by a few well-drawn
gapes, much after the manner of
sleeping baby. Then he walked about
for a time and presently accepted an
invitation to join in a game of ball"
The school-master's observations have
led to the very natural deduction that
a boys condition is in many ways
different from that of the trained
strong man. The latter could not eat
the things that a boy could because
his fitness is mainly muscular. while
the boys is, in addition to being mus
cular, organic. The man may have
sluggish liver, or faulty kidneys, and
still be a strong man, but the boy
who runs and romps and turns somer
saults and shouts and laughs and
twists and turns and shouts hasn't

WATER FOR THE HOLY CITY.
Jerusalem Is Now Supplied by System
of Modern Resigns.

Jerusalem Is Now Supplied by a System.
of Modern Resigns.
The Holy Land has its railways.
electric lights and American wind
mills, and now Jerusalem is about to
get supply of good drinking water.
In ancient times the city of David
was well supplied. The remains OF
equeducts and reservoirs show this.
But since the Turks day the people
of Jerusalem have been dependent
on the scanty and often polluted ac-
cumulations of rain water in the rock
hewn cistern beneath their feet. Even
this supply has recently failed, says
a correspondence the London Times,
owing to want of rain. Distress and
sickness became so general that the
Turkish governor has at length been
induced to sanction the purchase of
iron pipe to bring water from Ain
Salah, or the sealed fountain" at
Solomon's pools, about nine miles
south of Jerusalem. A pipe six inches
in diameter will bring 5000 skins"
OF water a day for distribution at
fountains" supplied with faucets.
Solomon, in his famous Song" speaks
of this secret spring, now turned to
use. MY beloved" he says, as quoted
by the Times correspondent, lis like
a spring shut up, a fountain sealed"
1t is deep-down subterranean spring,
which has, from the time of Solomon,
flowed through the arched tunnel built
by him to the distributing chamber
or reservoir near the northwest corner
of the highest of Solomon's pools.
Half a century ago the location of
this hidden" spring which was still,
as in Solomon's time, flowing into the
reservoir mentioned, was unknown.
The tunnel is rooted by stones lean
ing against each other like an inverted
V, the primitive form of the arch,
which is also seen in the roof of the
queens chamber of the great pyramid
The entrance to this tunnel from the
spring is one of the oldest structures
in existence. The piping is to be laid
along the old aqueduct which former
ly, from the time of Solomon, brought
this same water to the temple area.
There are eleven or twelve ancient
fountains here and there in the city,
long unused, but now to be utilized, and
from which the water may be drawn
free to all, several taps being attached
to each fountain. Baltimore Sun.

. Far-rraveIled Locomotive.

The British newspapers record the
recent completion by express locomo-
tive No. l of the Great Northern rail-
way of its four-millionth mile of
travel. The engine was built at DON
caster more than thirty years ago,
and is still in active service. 1t has
single driving wheels, and was one of
the first to be fitted with outside cyl
inders. Four million miles is more
than 1611a times the distance between
the earth and the moon, and 160 times
the circumference of the earth. But
the veteran locomotive would have to
continue the same average rate of
travel for about 700 years in order to
traverse a distance equal to that of the
sun from the earth.

Choice of Locality for Home.

Thoughtful parents are often guided
in their choice of a home by the char
acter of the school district into which
it will bring them. l have known
families to move from the edge of one
district to the outskirts of an ada
cent one simply for the purpose of
changing school associations. THE
teachers are all right" they will say.
Il have no fault to find with the
school; but l want my boy and my
girl to be thrown with a better class
of children" And the feeling that
prompts it is to be honored always.
One can hardly do better for her
children than by giving them the best
and most elevating daily associations
btainable.-Caroline Abbot Stanley

less he spoke directly to another, an
expression, not of being hunted, but of
hunting, dominated them. AS if they
were always seeking and never finding.
This was John Newcomb. His COM
panions called him odd and talked of
him among themselves, always ending
by saying that there was something
wrong-no doubt about that. That
man had a past. And yet the great
goodness of the man forbade their
thinking any evil of him. No man in

John.

mountains wore their purple and gold
