 Commission. Roosevelt to adjust the affairs in the coal region have a larger task than simply to set the men to work and to get coal mined They must attack the question of the con- dition of the miners, settle, if they can, the unsatisfactory system of company stores and the sale of powder and pro- vide for basis of agreement between capital and labor which will be of some value to both. The personnel of the commission is varied, enough to give a vast amount of information on the subject. B. w. Parker is the editor of the "Engineering and Mining Jour- nal," and as an editor is of course almost omniscient, to Say nothing of his ability as mining expert. E. E. Clark is spoken of as a sociologist. Brigadier General John M. Wilson is, as his title implies, military man. Bishop Spalding is bishop of the Roman Catholic church. George Gray is judge of the Uuited States Court. Thomas H. Watkins is practically ac- quainted with mining and selling coal. Carroll D. Wright, the recorder of the commission, is we'll known as a statis- tical expert. There will be varied in- terests to be harmOnized and it will take considerable time to get at all the facts of the case. Union labor will have hearing and there will be ad- justments of capital and labor to be considered.
 The The elections through
 Elections. out the country seem to have been everybody's victory, ac- cording to the way that you look at the returns. The republicans claim that it was an off year, and as they re- tain control of Congress they think that the results are favorable to them. The democrats, looking at the reduced | majorities by which republicans are elected, begin to take heart that they may have the people with them in 1904 There, were many picturesque features | to the late campaign. Apa thy was so great in some places that vaudeville l attractions were used to get the voters l out to politicali meetings. In Ohio Johnson toured the state in | an automobile and had cavalcade 1 with him carrying banners, torches 1 and benches for his meetings. The | main topics of the campaign seem to have been the tariff reform, the coal 1 strike, the beef trust, and the govern ment ownership of. the coal mines. | There were great many local issues | which decided the votes of the people | and there was great deal of socialistic l talk and some boasting on the part of the labor forces. In Connecticut the vote was not close enough to be very interesting, as the republicans had things pretty much their own way. The Economic League, from which | much was expected, made rather poor showing and, owing to the fact of in ternal dissensiOn, is not making the headway that it might. It is like the farmer vote, too uncertain to be count ed on very much yet. To get anything people need to get together and not fight.

There once lived in a certain village
some very rich people who had a son
and daughter. They kept good magy
ing Rose and Mary Holmes. One day
after these girls had finished their
kitchen work they strolled into the
forest. which was not far from where
they lived, and which was suppose to
be haunted or enchanted. AS they sat
she did not believe there were any
fairies. AS she said this she instantly
turned to stone. 1t then started to
rain, and the frightened Mary ran to
go home but she could not find her
way. Suddenly she came to a house
and a hideous old woman appeared.
She was very dirty and slovenly. She
told the girl to come in, and she gave
her bed to sleep on. The next morn
ing she gave her some breakfast and
told her she would show her treasures
to her. They went through many halls,
of marble. of which the furniture also
was marble. Then Mary saw great
many stones lying around. All at
once some men came in and killed the
witch Mary then went back to find
Rose, who was slowly returning to her
natural self. and soon the two girls
reached their home. where they told
their wonderful story.
