to President johnson.


Daniel II, Goodloe. for many years
distinguished resident of Washington

the slaves of the District. once told this
story:
zone morning soon after the surren-
der at Appomattox | was one of
group of gentlemen standing ON Penn
sylvania avenue, discussing the mo-
mentous questions of the day. As we
talked General Grant rode toward us,
smoking his usual cigar. Recognizing
several of us he dismounted and joined
us.

General Grant quietly said, Thank
you, gentlemen, remountcd his horse
and rode rapidly away toward the

In conference that morning with Mr..
Johnson ON the subject above men
toned. He said to me: If you have
any request to make of the president
this morning keep II until some ether
time, He is angrier than | have ever

Grant strobe into his presence and per-
emptorily demanded, "Do you intend

"'"I am considering the subject"
Johnson replied. You need not consld-

Don't Overdraw Your Account In the
Bank of Nature.
You have deposit of nervous energy
placed to your account In the bank of
your body. 1t may be large, in which
happy case you are millionaire In
strength and accomplishing power, or
1t may be so microscopic as to need
careful outstanding and little expendi
ture to keep 1t from dwindling out al
together.
But many millionaires become pau
pers, and some dime savings swell
into millions. 1t depends upon the way
the capital is managed. You may
think you have so much that there Is
no need TO be economical. You get up
In the morning and feel the blood
bounding through your veins like noun
tain cataracts, and you think you can
turn the mill wheels of the world
You work day and night or you play
day and night, which Is sometimes
more exhausting, and go at the limit of
your speed all the time. You are over
drawing your bank account of energy,
and that needlessly. for you probably
have enough to last long and useful
lifetime. 1t pays to'sit down and sharp
en- your tools. and It adds cent per cent
to your body bank deposit
Another with not half your brains
or hustle will get ahead of you In the
end, for he makes every act, every
thought, go straight to the mark. He
wastes no effort Everything he does
means something. 1t helps toward some
given end. You spend a great deal of
ammunition on your quarry because
you are overanxious He keeps cool,
takes steady aim and wings his bird.
You get wrinkles and frost tipped
temples and become bankrupt In vi

NINE HURT
IN A MINE:
Panic Stricken Engineer
Causes Frightful Acct
dent in PittSburg.

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 10.-In the
Heidelberg colliery in PittstOn this
morning nine union men were Sc
riously injured through the engi-
neer becoming panic stricken.
The engineer, who was a nom
union man, lost control Of his en-
CINE in lowering the cage which
contained the unfortunate miners
and it dropped several hundred
feet.
The carriage in the adjoining
shaft, with several men inside, con-
trolled by the same cable, was shot
up into the fly wheel hoisting room
with frightful rapidity.
To add to the horror Of the sit
uation the steam cylinders exploded
with terrific violence and, tearing
away the engine room, wrecked the
hoist, the rapidly falling cage be-
ing thus stopped and it's occupants
saved from frightful death. AS it
was all were injured by the terrific
conclusion.
The escaping steam and the noise
of the explosion caused a panic
among the miners generally and
they streamed out of another shaft
badly frightened. The engineer dis

The Sure Thing Men Find
Two Easy Games Early
This Morning.

Fl. e. Cover. a tall, lank country
man hailing from Wisconsin, was
buncoed out of 1928 in cash and a
certificate of deposit for $4,000 early
this morning in an unknown place
on Riverside ave.
j. ID. Riddell, who formerly ran
the cigar stand at the Warwick ho-
tel and is now a member of the
firm of Rice, Armstrong & Co., real
estate dealers, with offices over the
Warwick, claims that he cashed the
certificate of deVosit for $500 and
is either out this amount of money,
as payment upon the certificate has
been stopped, or is working with
the bunco gang.
Covers memory regarding the
game that he ran against is some
what hazy, as he can not place the
locality in which it occurred or the
name of the game he played.

ERECTING
Many New Structures in

has been started on the old site
recently cleared by fire. The new
building is valued at $4,000 and,
according to Albert Held, the archi-

building when completed
Work will be commenced on the
Athletic club building as early in
the spring as the condition Of the
ground will permit. Had it not
been for indecision as to the site
of the proposed building, the work
might have been commenced this
fall. The building will be located
either on Lincoln ST., between Main

tween Lincoln and the Monroe st.
