man, whose name is Maloney left behind
him in the old country a chum named

A few months ago Maloney sent CAL
lagher a sufficient amount of money to
pay his passage to this country and he
reached here about ten days ago. Ma
loney secured a position at the Locomo-
tive works for his chum and both were
happy and contented. They occupied the

Yesterday was Maloncy's birthday and
IL being his first birthday In America, he
deemed IL wise and right that he should
commemorate the event In some simple
form. and he did. and when he and Gal
lagher retired to their room for the night,
"A Pint went with them.
A half hour later loud words were heard
In their room, and the head OF the house

he reached the door of the room the two
men were rushing out pell nell for the
back yard, where there was a much
prettier settoo than the one put I'D BIZ

for he made Maloney cry for quarter"
Both men, after tho battle, shook hands

nothing had happened. but those who met
them knew that something must have
happened 10 Maloney. for his face looked
as IL he had been kicked by a horse.

for none have much larger boiler ca
pacity than they need and at least a fair
quality of coal is needed 10 raise steam.
Stormy. dark days are A terror to the
poor nremen for then extra steam Is
NEEDED TO run the lighting plants. and this.
OF course, means more hard work.
At the Riverside mills late In the after
noon yesterday. or as soon as the electric
lighting plant was started. the machinery
In the mill ran so slowly that the man

company can get a different grade Of
coal
