COAL FAMINE CROWS
Maryland and the vlroinias Have Sub
stituted Wood.

Baltimore. Nd, Jan. 2.-The effect OF
the coal famine on the 4,000,0co per-
sons OF Maryland, the DisNict Of Co
lumbia, Virginia and West Virginia Is
told in dispatches TO today's Herald.
Few towns are supplied with anthra-
cite, and in many there is a shortage Of
all kinds of fuel. In the smaller towns
the residents substitute wood for coal,
but in the larger places this has not
been possible In some entire counties
nothing but wood is used. At some
points near the coa fields, such as
Roanoke, coal is higher than at points
more distant from the mines.
In West Virginia, owing to the wide
distribution of coal-produeing areas,
there is not likely to be much distress.
Although the industries are suffering
Washington and Baltimore are getting
along with soft coal at advanced prices
but Washington is no better of than
many Of the smaller towns. The CON-
merce OF both Baltimore and Norfolk
is suffering because Of the shortage.

A HEROIC TRIO.
Travis, Crockett and Bowie and a
Neglected American Epic.


Neglected American Epic.
The late Frank Norris in an article
in Worlds Work says that the Ameri-
can epic, which on the shelves Of pos
terity shotild lave stood shoulder to
shoulder with the "Hemskringla' and
the Tales OF the Nibelungen' and the
"Song of Roland" will never be writ
ten because the Hector of an ignored
"Illad" has been forgottWi. "One Of the
requirements of an epic-a true epic-is
that its action must devolyo upon some
great national event. There was no
lack OF such in those fierce years after
forty-nine. Just that long and terrible
tourney from the Mississippi to the
ocean is an epic In itself. Yet no serl-
GUS attempt has ever been made By an
American author TO render into prose
or verse this event in our history as
national in scope, in origin and III
results as the Revolution itself The
prairie schooner is as large figure in
the legends as the black ship that bore
Ulysses homeward from Troy. The
sea meant as much to the Argonauts of
the nfties as it did to the ten thousand
"And the Alamo! There is a trumpet
call in the word, and only the look OF
it on the printed page is fash Of fire
but the very histories slight the deed
and to many an American born under
the same flag that the Mexican rifles
shot to ribbons on that splendid day
the word is meaningless. Yet Their
mopyle was less glorious, and in com
parison with that siege the investment
| OF Troy was mere wantOn riot. At th'
very least the Texans in that battered
adobe church fought for the honor o.
their flag and the greater glory Of theil
country not for loot or the possession
of the person of an adulteress. YOUNG
men are taught to consider the '1liad,
with its butcheries, its glorihcation o
inordinate seldshness and vanity, as
classic. Achilles-murdcrer egotist, ruf
fan and liar-is a hero. But the nam
of Bowie, the name Of the man VIII
gave his life to his flag at the Ala
mo. is perpetuated only in the des
ignation Of a knife. Crockett is tn
hero only Of a funny story about a sa
gacious coon, while Travis, the bo
commander who did what Gordon wit
/ an empire back Of him failed to do
quietly and definitely ignored. He die
1 I in defense of an ideal, an epic hero,
: legendary figure, formidable, sad. II
2 died facing down injustice, dishoneN
and crime; died in his boots and th
same world that has glorihed Achille
and frgotten Travis finds none so poe
4 to do him reverence"

NeedIess Alarm.

Dangerous things look safe, and safe
things look dangerous. The trouble Is
all In the beholder's eye, as the common
expression is. An Englishman was on
voyage to Spain.
Ships were flying by Of varying
shape, rig and color. One, the English
man noticed, was bearing slowly down
toward him, with her cargo piled on
deck half way up the masts. What
could she be? How could she hope,
laden in this way, to live ont the faint
est suspicion Of a gale?
The English traveller was consider
ably exercised about her. Something
surely ought to be done to make such
rascally "deck loading" Illegal and I'M
possible. He scanned the vessel with
his glass. The breeze was light, but
she rode buoyantly. At last a sailor
cleared up the mystery.
why. sir" he said bluntly, shes
only coaster loaded with cork"
