Lo! glint leaps out from the red stone An! A perfume is shed by the rose One sunbeam may strike on the jewell The flower freights each breeze that blows See. Only little labor
 And earth is enriched with rose: With the teaching and toiling of hundreds The ruby's brightness glows. A little more breathing in sunshine
 And lover may give you rose, While the delving of many in darkness In the jewels lustre shows. An! my loved one, to crown you with flowers, To contrast with your fairness the rose; To sweeten your path with the beauty That the sunshine gladly grows! My own hand may plant and pluck blossoms, My own work has wrought you rose; While maybe the blood-drops of brothers Round the gems translucency close. Take the Tears last petals, my darling The folded, the faint, fragrant rose, And it shall on the Christmas morning Its faithful love-story disclose.

INDIANA COAL TRADE IS
SLACK IN MANY SECTIONS
Next Years Scale of Wages May
Be Affected by Present Con-
ditionS-Coal Market.
MINERS AGAINST CHANGE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Dec. 31.-The coal trade in
this district is exceedingly slack at present
and there is no indication for an increase
in trade in the near future. This state
ment was made by a prominent coal opera
tor of this district to-day. When asked as
10 the probability of the miners being asked
to take a reduction in next years scale. he
said that the indications are that the scale
next year will not be as high as the past
year. for. he contended, that the operators
cannot pay the present scale and operate
their mines one Half the time. The cause
for the slack ma& ket is said to be the re-
suit of overproduction. as every man who
had sufficient means sunk mines last year
when the coal trade was booming and now
the output is greater than the demand. A
leading miner said to-day in discussing the
situation that the miners Of the district did
not expect 10 be forced 10 take a reduction
and would make a vigorous fight against
submitting to any change in the scale that
is now in existence, unless an advance can
be secured. The miners generally do not
expect an advance and Will be entirely
satisfied with a renewal of this years scale,
but il is believed that the men will make
a stubborn fight before returning 10 work
at less than they are now receiving.
