NEVER FoRGETs A FRIEND.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.

From the st, Louis Globe Democrat.
"Auld acquaintance" has not been for,
got by an old friend of Rev. d. S. Phe
Ian. That is the reason why the Church
of Our Lady of Mt, Carmel, of which
Father Phelan Is pastor, will be wei
heated this winter with anthracite. The
first two car loads of hard coal from
Eastern mines which have come into the
city have gone, not to a plutocrat or q
politician, but TO the modest little church
in Baden.
The bond of friendship which brought
this precious cargo to Father Phelan is
almost as old as are the sunbeams i'm
prisoned In the black jewels. William
Connell, of Scranton. Pa, long before he
stood In the white light as a mine owner
was a boy In school in Canada, and the
youth who afterward entered the priest
hood and came to st. Louis was one OF
his favorite companions there. The
friendship of the two has stood firm
through all the years. and now it is likely
to continue forever, because hardly a
more severe test could be devised than
the giving just now of two car loads Of
anthracite. The coal was shipped direct
from the mines, and Is now safe In the
cellars of Mount Carmel

A Small Affair.

Judge Mayer Sulzberger sitting in his
private room one afternoon following the
adjournment of court for the day, was
disturbed by notice in the chambers.
Going TO the communicating door, he
saw a young lawyer who had been in
court all day turning over tables and
chairs in frantic excitement. as though
searching for something. Asked by His
Honor what the trouble was the young
man replied
why I've lost my overcoat somewhere
in this room, and am looking for it,"
We'll, don't worry" replied Judge Sulz-
berger. soothingly. Whats an overcoat,
