not great, else the damage done to the
mine must have been great. 1t is
however most fortunate that the
flames were confined to the east side
of the mine for the greater part Of the
miners were in the west entries. Had
the explosion extended to this part
of the mine, the loss of life must have
been much greater. The fear that
the entire mine had been involved in
the explosion is what lead to the first
exaggerated reports of the loss Of life.
1t was several hours before the exact
extent of the disaster could be ascer-
tanned and hence the circulation of the
first reports.
The following were examined before
the coroner's jury and gave their evil
dence:
Thomas Bullock.
j. e. Flewelling.
DIR. Muir.
John Werner, State Mine Inspector.
John Aday.

vALUEOF
He Who Would Get on Best Must
Have Good Manners.

New York Commercial Advertiser: 1t is
for too common q habit with many people
to deprecate courtesy as a superficial at
traction, an unnecessary hamper on So
cial intimacy. 1t is neither the one nor
the other. 1t is very rarely that courtesy
in a man is not the outward and visible
sign Of other admirable qualities within.
| 1t is not necessarily an indication of kind
Illness of heart, but it is very often its out
ward manifestation, and, at any rate.
courtesy indicates that a mar il not so
wrapped up in himself and his own per-
~fectious as to forget what is due to other
people,, especially to women. It oils the
wheels of life and good UNDERSTANDING.
for every woman will show to better ad-
vantage when she feels safe from i'll man.
ners and tactlessness, A courteous man
will put a woman on good terms with
himself, and consequently on good terms
with him, whereby he reaps his reward In:
many ways. Even a b~ad-tempered shrew
is not insensible to good manners; and
calm courtesy will often avert an attack
of 'tantrums' or Mysteries.
Seeing the enormous value of this quail
ity of courtesy in the appreciation of men
and women, it Is very strange that day
by day the courteous man is becoming
more and more rare, until soon the last
specimen will awe to be captured for the
Museum of Natural History, to be placed
next to the dodo among the extinct spe-
cies. Bal manners rule the town, and,
are to be met with where one would least
expect them to be found. The older men
of the present day still retain some tradi-
lions of that courtesy which distinguished
their fathers, and which they have not
known how to hand on to their sons,
Such courtesy is, alasi now condemned
as ''old-fashioned." What would those
forefathers have said to the young man
of the present day who lounges into a
room full of ladies with both hands
plunged into his trousers pockets; who
will stand and ak to a lady in the same
attitude; who will seat himself at table
before she is seated; who will not rise to
open the door for her if she leaves the
room; who will remain seated when a
lady stops to talk to him in passing, and
a thousand other trivial signs and tokens
Of lack of manners having their root in
incidence, conceit and ~selfishness? That
the women of the present day are consid-
erably to blame for allowing young men
to- behave thus, instead OF turning their
backs on them and serenely ignoring
them, is unquestionable; but 1.-TWO wrongs
don't make a right" .

GHfE PICTURE on rzz g(asn WALL

Drearily the hours passed away, n the
noise of the storm was only broken by the
occasional howls Of wandering wolves. Al
last she drew out her spinning wheel and
began to spin,
1t was rear midnight when she heard
the door shake as though something had
fallen against it. Opening it quickly she
found John upon his knees, reaching for
the latch, and in his arm, half held and
half dragged, was the form of a young
Indian girl.
BY a strong effort he staggered to his
feet and drew the girl into the middle of
the room. Then he sank utterly exhaust
ed upon the floor.
"Ill-be all right in a minute, mother"
he gasped. ~"Im-tired, that's all. 1t was
awful" shudderingly. 81 never expected
to see ~home-again."
His mother brought him a dish of warm
soup and began to re1nove his shoes and
stockings.
Look after the girl first" he expostu-
lated; "she needs it more'n ne. l found
her on the trail She was lost an had
fallen in the snow. She became uncon-
scious while,I was bringin' her. 1 couldn't
go more'n a rod or two without stoppin'
to rest. I've been since dark comm from
Tower Hill"
why didn't you leave herr" piped a
shrill voice from overhead. John looked
up quickly. Peggy's eyes were staring at
him through the trapdoor.
oh, I couldn't do that, Peggy he said,
rebukingly. IT never even thought of
such a thing"
I'D "a left her. declared the child,
stoutly. "Injins killed Uncle Tom an
stole our doggie. I wouldn't have nothin'
to do with EN-"
Mrs. HOLINESS had been chatting the
Indian girls hands. She now rose and
went after more of the warm soup.

PRIZE 4 STORY.
Three New Jersey Snakes MIXED the
Cows Every Day.

sEds3l, ItEfJEH SoWS fGVSTy. lay 40 IS 49,
For some time the cows owned by 6.
Lee Stout, president OF the Merchants
Insurance company, have not been CIV
ing as much milk as their caretaker,
Frank Hochstuhl, thought they should.
animals were pastured in q lot on
the old Watessing lake property, owned
by Mr.. Stout, in Bloomfield, n. j., and
not far from Hochstuhls residence.
The latter began to watch the COWS,
believing that, some person with a
fondness for pure milk was milking
them on the quiet. Mochstuhl kept a
lose watch, but his surveillance
;ayailed him nothing, and he was much
perplexed.
j At a certain hour he discovered the
cows would walk to a spot near the lit
tie police station on Conger street,
where they would remain for about
half an hour, and then approach the
bars Of the pasture lot, awaiting the
arrival of HochstuEl to take them
home. Hochstuhl found the animals
apparently in the bast Of condition, but
comparatively dry.
The mystery was suddenly explained
last Saturday afternoon, when George
Campbell came across three good-sized
milk snakes. They had just evidently
finished milking the COWS, for all were
fat and lazy and enjoying a sun bath.
Campbell killed two, but the third he
captured alive and exhibited about
town"
The animals now give double the
quantity Of milk they formerly did.

The Cheddar Cavas

London Chronicle, w. r. Cough Of
Cheddar, in Somerset, whose death has
been announced, was the d%iscoverer Of
many of Cheddar's most famous caves. In
1887 a large cave was found, and the dis
covery was O O followed by several 9TH
ers. ME- Cough opened up some, placed
doors at the entrances, lit them up by
means Of gas and afterward by electricity,
advertised them widely. and soon made
them a source Of interest to the public
and himself. The caves are noted for the
fine stalactites and s~talagmites, resem-
bling folds OF drapery. This district. noted
for its caves and deps, has been a happy
hunting ground for psychologists, for it
has furnished plentiful remains of the
cave lion, the mammoth, woolly rhinoce-
ros, cave bear, wolf and, Irish elk.

What an Almanac Did.

Matthews, Ark, Aug. 25th.-Mrs
Lee $. Sanders, of this place, tells how
an almanac saved her life.
Il have been troubled a great deal
with my kidneys all my life and was
constantly growing worse.
II CHANGED to get a copy of Dodd's
Almanac for 1902 and in it read some
stories Of how Dodd's Kidney Pills had
cured many very bad cases of Kidney
Trouble. a .-.
My husband bought a box and !
began to use them, and in a short time
we We're surprised and delighted at
the wonderful improvement III my case.
i am now as well as anybody and
can not say too much for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. It was a lucky day for
me when | picked up that almanac.
II believe Dodd's Kidney Pills will
cure anyone who suffers with Kidney
Trouble" -

Cne bad season had followed another
and now there was restitution all through
the N~arraganset country. The few trad
ers who were fortunate enough 10 have
any goods left doubled and treb1ed their
prices, and even then would take moth

They refused ever to look at the depre-
ated Rhode Island currency.
A few of the more wealthy land owners
sent to Plymouth and Boston, and even to
PARKWAY Nieu Amsterdam and PhiIadel-
phia for supplies. But the poor settlers and
the new arrivals from the northern colo
MES, could not do this. They had to de-
pend on the chase, and on such scanty
harvest as they were able to CLEAN from
their newly cleared fields. AS the winter
came on, some of them became discour-
aged and drifted back to Plymouth and
Boston. --'
But for the most part they were strong.
hopeful men, having faith in the new
country, and willing to endure privation
and hardships until they could fight their
way to competence.
Jacob HOLINESS had built his cabin in a
small clearing overlooking the Sauga-
tucket river. He was a watchmak by
profession. and had brought the tools of
his craft with him.. But finding them use
less in this new country, he, had put them
away and tried to accustom his hands to
the gun and plough instead.
During the Summer and Fall the family
had not lacked for food. There were fruit
and game in the woods, and fish in the
strearas; and by going to the Pettaquam-
scutt river, a few miles away, they could
obtain crabs and other shell fish. And
before cold weather set in HOLINESS had
the foresight to catch and salt down a
half barrel Of mackerel.
His harvest had not been very success
