Carthage. Mo, Jan. 5.-One of the most
serious coal famines ever known to the
local dealers in fuel is being experienced
in this city. Only two carloads Of coal are
accessible. and this is fast disappearing,
threatening a precarious situation.
The shortage is attributed by dealers In
the city to disregard on the part of supply
ing agents in Kansas of yearly contracts
which are not filled. in order that larger
prices may be secured by retailing the prod
uct. Owing to the scarcity and high prices
thievinS among the poor has become gem
eral.

THE HAPPIEST MAN

An exchange publishes the following
article, and we heartily agree with the
sentiments expressed.
The happiest man in the world is the
common every day chap who makes his
own living, pays his bills and has respect
of his neighbors. He saves a little
money as he goes along, but he doesn't
strive to get corner on the local output,
and he is slave to neither ambition nor
society. He never expects to wear out
the seat of his trousers figuring how to
get rich off others and when he slides
into his clothes in the morning he never
wastes any time trying to pick out the
right tint of socks, suspenders and neck
tie that will blend with the general eff
feet. He wears chilled" shirt when he
feels like it, and when his pet corn be-
gins to jump he whips out his jack knife
and cuts four-inch cash in the side of
his boot, and nothing is said about it in
the papers. He has an appetite like cy-
clone and he never has to sit up at nights
to poultice his conscience. He believes
in the doctrine of live and let live, and
when he encounters one of the needy he
doesn't stutter with his pocket book.
The plain pug of a man is happy because
he is satisfied and doesn't spend the best
of his life in yearning for something
about four sizes too large for him.

LET THE LITTLE FOLKS HAVE PETS

Nearly all children love animals and
should be allowed to have one of some
kind for pet whenever possible. One
of the hardest things to exercise in the
bringing up of children is foresight and
yet it is the most important and imper-
ative of necessities in the mother who
conscientiously tries to do her duty.
How often do you hear, ooh what's
the use, we may all be dead year from
now?" This is both true and trite, yet
is most pernicious mode of reasoning.
A child who cares for helpless kitten
is unconsciously fostering the instinct of
motherhood, the fact that he or she is
needful to the little. creature produces
the same glow which we experience in
after life when we minister to the wants
of the tiny little toddlers who have not
yet learned to do for themselves.
Seldom will child forget to feed a
pet if he is once given the responsibility,
all of which cultivates thoughtfulness
and diverts from self. They do not
know that the sweetest thing in life is to
be needed, that we need to be needed
above all else, but we know, and should
not rob them OF this keenest and most
of pleasures. Instead of emu
merating the disadvantages and draw
backs of having cat or dog around the
house when the desire is wistfully ex-
pressed by the little folks look ahead
and remember that you are here given
the opportunity of planting the seed Of
a better, stronger and more unselfsh So
licitude for the care of those little hu-
man pets without which no life is fully
lived.

TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA

Writing in the June Housekeeper, Miss
Jessie Ackerman, the famous traveller
describes her trip to the bottom of the
sea in divers suit. THIS exploit, al
the pearling grounds betw cen Australia
and Singapore, was performed at the in
stigation of ships officer, who had cast
aspersions upon Miss Ackerman's cour-
age. "The suit l wore," says Miss Ack-
erman, "was made of thick rubber The
shoes weighed 80 pound apiece. The
helmet had an oval glass set in the front,
through which 1 could see plainly before
me. To the helmet were fastened two
lines of hose, one for the escape of foul
air, the other for the transmission of
fresh air from above. When the suit,
helmet and shoes were finally adjusted
| felt like some knight OF old in his iron
arms. Attempting to walk, l found that
my limbs refused to perform their usual
Office, owing to the 200 pounds of extra
rigging. Several officers then took me
by the shoulders, while others seized the
great lead-soled shoes and together they
carried me to the side of the steamer. A
swing or two to throw ME beyond the
rail, and was literally cast overheard. A
moment later, amid great splash l was
floating among the waves, flat on my
back. ! looked through the little glass
window and caught glimpse of those
mighty shoes rising higher and higher.
The predicament was speedily observed
from the deck, and l was soon pulled up,
when it was discovered that too much
air had been pumped into my diving
suit. The weight of the armor made me
and the natural result was an
inverted descent
The difficulty was soon overcome by
allowing the surplus air to escape, and
another start was made. This time l
was taken to the side OF the ship and let
down by means of a rope attached to
my waist. Almost before l was aware
Of it the sandy bottom was reached and
was able to stroll about in comfort up
On the led of the ocean, The brilliant
;oloring of the sponges and seaweed es-
oecially attracted my attention. The
bottom of the sea at this depth is like
gorgeous flower bed. One must not i'm
lgine that the oceans bed is place Of |
lead things, where all is dreariness and |
lesolation. On the contrary, it pulsates
With life. Fish dart about like birds |
lifting from flower to flower, and the
Gene is most entrancing."

THE PANAMA HAT
There was man whose chief desire
Was a Panama hat.

1nere was man whose cnlef desire
Was Panama hat.
He said: "That's what most require;
II is the thing most admire;
I'll have to beg or buy or hire
Me Panama hat" !"
He envied every man he saw
In Panama hat.
He gazed at the window show with awe
And sighed: "They cost heap, but
pshaw!
l pretty near would break the law
For Panama hat"
He talked to every man and maid
About a Panama hat.
No chat of marriage he essayed;
Nor weather, crops, or trusts, or trade;
Just: "How I'd like to be arrayed
In Panama hiatt
He soon fell i'll; he worried so
Over Panama hat
And when he lay in sickness low
They asked him where he'd like to 60.
Wherever" he said, "they can show
Me a Panama hatp'
At last his feeble spirit fed
With no Panama hat.
They preached sermon Ger his head
In which they hoped the speaker said,
That he with wings was garnish-ed-
And Panama hat.
Take warning from this lesson true
On Panama hat.
Don't let your longings poster you
Until you're sick and sad and blue;
But if You must, go dare and do
For Panama hat.
