A Dog and His Home,

The man saws the woman has a
heart of stone, says the New York
Press. The woman herself says it is
a shame, for she loves the dog, but
stirl she knows that she allowed him
more liberties than any other good
housekeeper would have done under
the circumstances. The dog has the
habit peculiar to his kind of burying
his bones when he has a few, to lay
up for time of need, and he has va
rious places in the back yard for stor-
ing them. But he has more trouble
than most dogs, for the first appli-
cant to his Storehouse is usually the
imprOVident dog of a neighbor, who
keeps no bones of his own, but relies
upon those buried by Carlo, and in
variably digs them up and carries them
off. Carlo is aware of this. and the
other day, having a bone for storage,
after smelling around in the usual
receptacles for such treasures, he
seemed to have a sudden thought,
turned quickly, and ran into the house
and upstairs, followed by his mistress.
Into the best bedroom" he ran, jump
ed upon a chair at the head of the
bed dug away for a time at the pill
lows on the bed. moved one of them
so that he could get his nose back Of
it, dropped in his bone, and was turn
ing away with a satisfied, I-know-that-
dog t-get-this- bone expression on
his face, when his mistress called him
back. She made him take up his bone
again and carry it downstairs, and for
this the man says she is cruel, and she
herself thinks it was rather hard lines
on so clever a dog.

TROUBLE ron THE COAL ROADS.

The announcement that Frank H.
Thompson, a Philadelphia man, is go
ing to bring suit against the coal
roads-that is. the roads which oper-
ate mines in the anthracite coal region
asking that their charters be de-
clared void on the ground that they
are violating the constitution of Penn
sylvania in operating coal mines, does
not at this time arouse a great deal of
public interest, for the reason that
what is wanted now is coal and not
the punishment of those supposed to be
responsible for the scarcity of coal. A
suit of the kind proposed might drag
along in the courts for years. 1t is
hardly reasonable to suppose that the
coal roads have violated the constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania without some
excuse for doing so. If therefore they
were called into court they would
have a defense. and it would take a
long time to determine whether or not
their excuse was good one or not.
The constitution of Pennsylvania pro-
vides that a railroad engaged in the
transportation of coal shall not have
an interest in the coal mines, and shall
not engage in mining coal. 1t is also
asserted that the coal roads have a
secret combination for regulating the
price of coal.
1t is said, in reference to the consti-
tutional prohibition in respect to the
mining of coal, that most of the coal
roads have charters granting them the
right to engage in mining and manu-
featuring which antedate the consti-
tuition of Pennsylvania. If that is the
case it would be waste of time and
money perhaps to bring the coal roads
into court on the charge that they
are violating the constitution in min
ing coal.
But, if the managers of the coal roads
have a secret understanding by which
the price of coal is regulated. thus
controlling the output of the mines,
there is no doubt that the Interstate
Commerce Commission would take hold
of the matter If it were properly
brought before it. But it is doubtful
if a great deal of interest in legal
proceedings can be aroused against
the coal roads until the ques-
ton of getting a supply of coal is dis
posed of. When the people get all the
coal they want they will be ready to
bring into court and punish everybody
guilty of helping to bring about the
coal famine,

There is one editor in Tennessee who
is well convinced that the federal rev.
enue laws are inimicaI TO the liberty
of the press. He is the editor of the
Jonesboro News. Some weeks ago, for
the purpose of booming his subscrip-
ton list and at the same time warm
ing up the cookies of the hearts of his
subscribers, he announced that with
every years subscription, paid an adj
vance, he would give a full quart of
whiskey, guaranteed to emit rays Of
moonlight and to make the drinkers
see stars of refulgent beauty at mid
day. Trade Immediately became good
in the business office. Subscriptions
came rolling in and there was a merry
clinking of silver in the till. The sub
scription list was getting as long as a
ward list of Philadelphia hoaters, and
the editor was beginning to dream
dreams of private yacht and a win
ter on the Mediterranean. Then there
fell a thunderbolt out of a clear sky

premium department and broke up the
business. OF course, the editor has a
grievance.

EXTENSION OF THE STATE ROAD.

Mr.. P. H. Bell OF Decatur, Ga, is
the author of a rather lengthy paper
in the Atlanta News advScatng the
extension of the Western & Atlantic
road to the sea, either at Savannah or
Brunswick. This subject was discussed
extensively a few months ago, and
It is not improbable that it viii be
brought before the legislature at the
approaching session.
There is no doubt that Savannah
would like to see the Western & At
lantic extended to the sea at this port,
and she would do everything in her
power to assist the enterprise. 1t is
a safe assertion, however, that it will
have to be shown that it would pay
the state to make the extension before
the Legislature will give the matter
very serious attention.
When the subject was under dis
cussion a carefully prepared article in
regard to it was published in the At
lanta Constitution by a railroad man.
1t undoubtedly made considerable i'm
preston on the public, because of it's
thorough treatment of the subject from
every point of view. The conclusion
reached by the writer of the article
was that it wouldn't pay the state
to extend the Western & Atlantic. The
impression made by the article was
that it was written in the interest of
hostile to the project.
Mr.. Bells idea is that part of the
lease-it has II years yet to run-of
the Western & Atlantic could be cap
italized for an amount sufficient to buy
rails for the proposed extension, and
that the convicts could be utilized in
building the road bed. That does not
leave anything of course for bridges,
depOts and equipment-items that
would require a pretty big sum of
money. Mr.. Bell does not say how the
convicts are to be supported while
building the road or how much the
tax rate must be increased to meet
the deficit in the states income by
diverting a part of the Western &
Atlantic lease money. 1t is doubtful
If the extension could be made-includ-
ing terminals. equipment and every
thing else-for much less than $4,000. 900
But would the road pay the interest
on the investment when constructed
Mr.. Bell thinks it would. He points
out that in it's course to the sea it
would cross about twenty other roads
which would be feeders to it. Would
they? Do not these other roads be-
long to systems that have lines to the
sea? 1t is hardly probable other rail-
roads would permit their lines to be
feeders for an opposition road. There
is no doubt, however, that there is a
pretty strong sentiment in favor of
extending the Western & Atlantic. 1t
seems to be based on the idea that the
Western & Atlantic has been bottled
up," as ii were.

Richard Harding Davis is more than

A New York newspaper the other
day printed story to the effect that
an umbrella, left hanging on a fence
in busy street in that city, had re-
manned untouched for five hours. not
withstanding it was passed by thou
sands of persons during that time. A
Chicago newspaper anxious to prove
that its city was as honest as New
York, sent out one of its bright young
men to experiment with the umbrella
temptation. Within thirty minutes the
Chicago umbrella had been stolen by
men, boys and girls. and two women
had had a quarrel over it. The con-
clusion reached from the experiment
was that an umbrella was thirty times
as apt TO be stolen in Chicago as in
New York, judging from the data of
the two incidents.

Some new anecdotes of King Lud-
wig II are related in the Jugend OF
Munich. One day he said to his court
pianist, Hans Won Bu1ow: "a short
time before 1 assembled the throne

evening, after kissing my fathers
hand. Then my mother came into my
room to see that I was warmly covered

MIrCHELL.s LETTER.

The letter of Mr.. Mitchell, president
of the United Mine Workers, to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. in response to the lat
ter's proposition that if the strikers
would return to work he would appoint
a commission to investigate their griev-
ances and recommend legislation in
harmony with the commissions report
was made public yesterday. It con-
tanned nothing that was not practically
known the day that the President sub
mitted his proposition to Mr.. Mitchell.
1t was very generally agreed that the
proposition would be declined.
Mr.. Mitchell says the President has
no power to bring about legislation
in harmony with the report of an in
vestigating commission such as he pro-
posed to appoint, and therefore he does
not see what there is in the PROPOSE
ton for the striking miners. of course
he is right about this. The President
would of course carry out his part
of the agreement, but beyond recon-
mending legislation he could do moth
ing. And there is no guarantee that
Congress would legislate in accordance
with the Presidents recommendation.
Mr.. Mitchell winds up his letter by
placing the blame for the continuance
of the strike on the coal operators.
He says that he offered at the con-
ference which the President called to
submit all of the issues to arbitrators
appointed by the President, and that
they refused his proposition.
OF course this statement is true, but
Mr.. Mitchell did not agree to arbitrate
unless his union was first recognized.
He is careful to keep that fact
in the background. 1t is prob
able that the coal operators
would have agreed to an arbitration
with the miners in each separate coal
district. but they refused to recognize
the United Mine Workers Union.
1t looks now as if the strike would
go on until one side or the other yield
ed. There has been an impression
abroad that a large portion of the
strikers were on the edge of starva-
ton. 1t seems from letters of CORE
spondents in the coal district that
such is not the case. The savings
banks there are well loaded with the
savings of miners. These savings have
scarcely been drawn on, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the strike has been
in force more than five months. AS
Stunning that this statement is true the
strikers can easily hold out for five
months more.
If it is true, as the operators have
been contending all along, that there are
thousands of strikers willing to go to
work if afforded protection, there
ought not to be any delay in operating
the mines. The entire national guard
of Pennsylvania is now in the anthra-
cite coal region, and if it cannot keeI
the peace it is probable that the Presi-
dent would order United States troops
there if a request for assistance were
made to him by the Governor of Penn
sylvania or the legislature of that
state. The coal operators have beer
asking all the time for more troops
and their request has been complied
with. Mr.. Mitchell says that the
strikers will not go back to work ex
cept some concessions are made t
them. We shall soon see whether thu
coal operators or Mr.. Mitchell is tn,
better informed in regard to the situa

The coal situation affords the people
an excellent object lesson in the oper-
alton of the sacred Dingley tariff. The
people must have coal to keep them
from freezing, and a great deal of it
is being rushed into the country from
Great Britain and elsewhere. But all
of this coal must pay into the treasury
an import duty of 81 cents per ton. The
treasury doesn't need the money, while
the people who will buy much of the
coal do need it. This unneeded tax,
which will bear directly upon the poor,
was levied in order that the rich coal
corporations may have protection.
