Narrow Escape.
In passing through a woods few
miles east of Red Lake Falls, the
wagon of Ralph and Hazel Healy,
aged and IL years, respectively, tip
ped over at the edge of an abandoned
well and the children were thrown
out. Hazel was precipitated to the
bottom of the we'll, which was partly
filled with water, while her brother
saved himself by clinging to the
grass and roots at the top. Slipping
off his coat and shoes, the brave boy
began to descend into the hole, cling
ing to the crumbling walls by bits
of grass that protruded from the
sides. Gathering his sister in his
arms, he swung her to his back and
with her arms clasped around his
neck, made the return trip. She was
unconscious, but soon recovered.

The. situation in the. Cumberland


The. situation in the Cumberland
valley is peculiar. The mining COM
pany is employing about $500 men,
most of whom are engaged in con-
structing railroad. They struck for
higher wages few weeks ago, but
they were starved into submission
and returned to work on the old
terms. Now they are bent on getting
even with the company in a novel
way. Almost to man they work so
slowly that at the present rate of
progress it will take about Eve years
to complete the railway, which is con-
trary to the plans of the company.
BY these tactics the men expect to
force the company to give them a
chance to work by the job. The COM
pany, on the other hand, may reduce
the wages still more. If this is done
there will be fresh trouble. Or the
whole, the situation is unsatisfactory
all around.

TRICKS PERSISTENCE.
ON the Washington Star

From the Washington Star.
MY acquaintance with Henry c. Frick,
the coke magnate and capitalist" said
Mr.. Charles White of Washington to a
Star reporter at the Ebbitt, was formed
many years ago in peculiar way. When
Mr.. Frck first went into the manufac-
ture of coke my uncle was my partner in
business. He was a man who thought old
ways were the best, and when one day
the firm received letter from Mr.. Prick
stating that he would like to consign to
us carload of coke on trial to use IN
our foundry, my uncle hooted at the idea,
and wrote Mr.. Prick In very plain terms
what he thought Of the proposition.
A few days subsequent to the reception
of the first letter came another from
Mr.. Frick, in which he extoiled coke for
smelling purposes, and concluded by say
ing he would send three carloads on
trial, and If the consignment did not suit
he would pay freight on it both ways.
Nothing more was heard from Mr.. Prick
until one day the firm was notified that
three carloads of coke were at the freight
yards, awaiting our orders The persis-
tency of Fricl staggered my uncle, but,
after due consideration, he decided that
it might be hauled into the yard. Then
he was seized with a sudden change CT
heart, and concluded that he would not
use it. One day, while my uncle was at
dinner and We were ready for a blast,
decided to test the coke. If lost the cost
would be to the firm about $1,000 AS soon
81. IL
way l fled, not caring to face the wrath
of my uncle If a mistake had been made.
When he returned to the works the molten
metal was pouring from the furnace like
lava from a volcano. Great Scott! he ex-
claimed, what is the matter? When in
formed by the superintendent he was
greatly surprised, and expressed his sat-
isfaction with the experiment. From that
day to this nothing but coke has been
used in our furnace, and the trouble now
is to get enough of it to carry ON our
| business"

Qualified County Superintendents.

Superintendent of Education Gun
nells, in his final report, urges
Changes in the laws of the state, so
that qualified county superintendent
of education will be selected. The
Uniontown Herald, in discussing the
same subject, says: an the existing
laws the county superintendent is
treated almost solely as the conduit
Of money from the treasury to the
teacher. His most important duties
are not considered at all. What the
people desire is an efficient system Of
education. That is what they should
have. This can only be secured by a
system OF me kind A system in its
very essence is something that is kept
under the closest possible supervision.
For the purpose of securing this over
sight the superintendent should in the
first place be competent man. In
deed, he should be the best teacher in
the county. He should know when a
teacher is good, when he is doing
good work, when the people are get
ting a fair return for the money they
pay out"
Now all this is very true and very
good, but unless there has been a
great change in public sentiment, the
demand for qualified county superin-
tendents viii be haro to satisfy. In
the first place, there is a powerful
ring of county superintendent oppos-
ed to any change in the law. In the
next place the handling and DISPOSE
ton of school moneys in certain coun-
ties is a peculiar operation.
The question is, does not the entire
system of apo. tioning school moneys
in county need attention? The sub
ject is one that calls for reform.
