Mine Workers Elect New Set OF Officers

The recent convention of min

therefore they decided to make

For Young Doctors.

During my second year at the JEFF

would not be uncharitable to call a
dullard. One of the professors was
in the habit of taking the boys una
wares and quizzing them. He said
to this fellow one day:
"How much is a dose Of" CIV

"A teaspoonful," was the ready
reply.
The professor made no comment
and the fellow soon realized that he
had made mistake. After a quar-

The Dear Old Mother.

Time has scattered the snowy
flakes on her brow, plowed deep fur
rows on her cheek-but is she not
sweet and beautiful now? The lips
which have kissed many q hot tear
from the childish cheek are the
sweetest lips in all the world.
The eye Is dim, vet 1t glows with
the rapt radiance Of holy love
which can never fade.
oh, yes, she is dear old mother.
Her sands of time are nearly run
out, but feeble as she is, they will
go further and reach down lower for
you than any other on earth.
You cannot walk into midnight
where she cannot see you; you can
not enter prison whose bars shall
keep her out; you can never mount
a scatfold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless you.
In evidence of her deathless loye
when the world shall despise and
forsake you-when it leaves you by
the wayside to die unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you up
in her feeble arms, carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues until
you almost forget that your soul is
dlsfigured by vices.
Love her tenderly, and cheer her
declining years with holy devotion.

A. DOWN IN THE MINES. A.
idleness is to blame.

Secretary Bailey, of the Rein
ecke Coal Company, one day last
week received a very urgent call
from one of his old colored en-
ployes who was confined to his
bed by a severe attack of some
disease. Mr.. Bailey fastened to
the bedside of his old friend,
thinking, perhaps, that some ur-
gent business required his atten-
tion before the sufferer passed
away. Upon his arrival at the
home of the sick man. the old
darkey ordered everyone to leave
the room except Mr.. Bailey and
another, and calling him close to
his bedside he made his dying re-
quest that Mr.. Bailey use his ef-
forts, by the employment of
counsel, to prosecute two parties
who had "put a spell on him"
and which was leading him to
his grave. The Secretary tried
hard to convince the old man of
the fallacy of his views, and, of
course, to alleviate, if possible,
the sufferings of the sick, but
utterly failed to convince him.
He could not then do otherwise
than promise to punish the guilty
if found. Thus it can be seen
how strong is superstition with
some, even in their dying mo-
ments.
Close observation has taught
the law abiding citizens of this
county that a secret understand
ing exists among the U. M. W.
that regardless of justice they
must stand for and by each other,
so no matter how convictlng the
evidence may be against one of
their number, as was shown last
week at the trial Of Andy Tuck,
at Greenville, on the charge of
having been party to or an ac-
cessory to brutal attack on
some innocent miners while Wis

injured tobacco leaves to some

Spite Of the fact that there
have been but two rains in Web

stock and pastures, however, are
moderately good.
