FIRE scriptural quotations ct opponents IN
the course Of debate.
In 1919. during the gold fever. Mr. Pettus
Travelled from Selma, Ala, his native town,
TO California on horseback, and during that
long ride HE chief pastime was reading his
Bible. In this way he was almost able to
learn the contents Of the good book BY
heart.
The story Of how this veteran southerner
Of the old school came to be a United
States senator is worth retelling:
James s. Pugh was senator from Alabama
and had been elected largely through the
efforts Of Pettus, who was practiclug law
in Selma. as he had been for the last fifty
years, except during the time he served as
an oficer in the confederate army.
A vacancy occurred in one Of the federal
judgeships of the state. and Mr.. Pettus de-
cided that he would like to round out his
legal career by serving on the United States
bench. He packed up bis satchel ana made a
trip to Washington for the purpose Of en-
listing Pugh's support for the appointment.
The train on which Mr.. Pettus travelled
arrived in Washington about . O'Clock in
the morning. II was too late to 20 TO bed
and too early to do anything else but 20
and see Pugh. So the Alabama lawyer
clambered into a cab and drove to the
senator's house. He rang the bell loudly.
a colored woman answered after a lapse OF
tim long enough to indicate that the ser
want had been called from her bed. Stick
ing her head through the door she asked
what was wanted.
ri want to see Pugh," answered Pettus.
Hes in bed"
That's all right. I'll go to his room"
And he went.
Hey, there, Pugh, wake up said Pet
tus when he had discovered the slumbering
statesman.
Pugh awoke, for Pettus' voice is in pro-
portion to his frame.
There's a vacant judgeship down in our
state. and ! want it, said Pettus, while
Pugh was rubbing his eyes.
"Pettus, you are too old" said Pugh. as
he rolled over in bed.
"Pugh, you are a fool, retorted Pettus,
''and IL l am too old to be a judge, / am
not too old to be a senator"
He strobe out OF the room, frothing with
anger.
The cab went straight back to the railroad
station, where Pettus took the first train
home. He had not been back In Selma Ave
minutes before every one in the village
knew that he was a candidate for United
States senator.
He stumped the entire state, going into
the furthermost counties to press his
claim for recognition. His campaign cry
was too old to be a judge, but not too old
to be a senator. He won an overwhelming
victory.

Demand for hallway Ties.

The demand for railway ties will cause a
demand for some substitute for wood within
the next few years. unless some method
be adopted which wIlisreplsee the already
depleted supply OF timber suitable for this
purpose. White oak. Nthe stAndard wood
for ties. is too slow a grower, and renews
itself only once in a century. AS early as
1918 General William Henry Harrison called
attention to the eatalpa tree OF the Wabash
valley as being OF extreme durability. Va
rious railroad men have since demonstrated
the entire suitability of catalpa wood for
ties. There is great probability of the es-
adjustment of cstalpa plantations by some
Of the enterprising railroads OF the country,
II has been found that, with good treat
ment. trees at twelve years viii make one
tie each. At twenty-five years af age the
trees will yield twelve ties each, or over
1000 an acre. The seasonal growth is about
one inch In diameter.

Fatalities to Miners In Eighteen
states and Territories.


Fatalities to Miners IN Eighteen
states and Territories.
An oficial report made to the United
States geological survey gives statistics
OF accidents, fatal and otherwise. which oe-
Cured in the process OF mining coal in
eighteen states and territories during 1901.
In these eighteen states and territories
the total number OF lives lost in 1901 was
1,464 and the total number Of men in
jured was S,643. The number OF tons Of
coal mined for each life varied from 49,
094 in Maryland to 9.424 in Indian Terri
tory. The average number Of tons mined
for each Of the 1.4e7 lives lost in these
eighteen states and territories was 1885,
666. Maryland enjoys the distinction of
the largest tonnage per life. while the In
dian Territory has the largest percentage
of deaths for the tonnage mined.
In Pennsylvania the number of tons OF
bituminous coal mined per life lost was a
little more than double the amount mined
per life lost in the anthracite mines in the
same state. In the anthracite mines Of
Pennsylvania SIS men we're killed and 1894
injured; 277 wives we're made widows and
624 children were made fatherless. and 1871,
524 tons were mined for each life lost. In
the bltuminous fields OF the same state sol
men were killed and Sos injured. l4 wives
were made widows and 412 children made
tatherless, and $780, ss tons we're mined for
each life lost.
The anthracite fields of Pennsylvania
alone furnished the largest number OF kill
ings In the union. The next highest record
was that Of the West Virginia, where 1874
men were killed.
The total number Of men employed 10
the coal mines of the United States in
1901 was 4S5, 544, who made an average OF
212 working days In 1900. The distributor
Of this labor in 1901 was as follows; In
the anthracite mines. 1f5, 800 men. with
an average working time OF 1856 days; in
the bituminOus mines $40. 2S5 men. with an
average working time OF 2S5 days.

Progress in Civilization.
Not The least important of the many valu-
able statistical works which NJ. Edmond
Thery, editor Of the Economists European,
has written is his latest work, entitled
"Histoire E%conomique. 1890 1900" which
gives a clear statement OF the changes that
have come about during the decade referred
to in the national economy Of Great Britain,
The United States, Germany and France.
The interesting preface alone contains some
highly Instructive tables OF comparison to
show the enormous advance made in the
economic development of the world between
1890 and 1900. The following tables refer
to all the nations OF the world:
Omaha daily bee., 1902-11-03

Total ncrease....... 1885 34,Sl4
The total carrying capacity Of the steam
ship mercantile marine of Europe in 1900
amounted to 2.46s, 900 tons, while that Of
North and South America was only about
one-twelfth. or 1.024,OOO tons. The Increase
in mercantile tonnage from 1890 10 1900 was
5,4SS,O 900 tons, and nearly the whole OF this
increase was confined to the shipping OF
Europe.
There is a small decrease to be noted In
the case OF coal production. and this was
due to the great activity displayed in re-
gions outside the Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic
races; thus, in 1890 England, Germany and
the United States produced 81 per cent Of
the total output OF coal; in 1900 the pro-
portion had fallen to 80 per cent.

scarcely lay claim TO be known as the

The above little list explains easily the
enormous rise in the military budgets of
the world, although the increase is not to
be ascribed entirely to the cost OF these
wars and expeditions, for with the ex-
pressed and growing desire for peace there
is a proportionate evidence on the part OF
the nations to take steps to secure peace
by being prepared for war. The army bud
gets OF the world have been increased by
e74.4s 900 aud the naval budgets by RI2,-
$50, 900. In this respect the United States
shows the greatest increase. While the ex-
penses Of the navy and army in Great
Britain were increased by 4s.6 per cent, in
Germany by 46.4 per cent and In France by
only SO per cent, the percentage in the case
Of the United States was increased by 1915,
and this enormou increase began with the
war with Spain.
As the commercial struggle lies mainly
between Great Britain, Germany and the
United states. it is interesting TO observe
the comparative percentage of the exporta-
