SIMPLE LOVE ALONE
CAN LAST.
BY DOROTHY FENINORE.

Owe simply. 1t is harder than 1t
looks if you are seeking difficult
methods of expression. And 1t is
easier than any one would believe
who was not born with a gift for
simplicity. AT any rate, you had bet
ter try it, if you happen to be in love,
yet have never done so.
The fact is, you see. that this con-
stitutes the final test of affection. If
you and your sweetheart cannot love
happily on the level of every day you
will have to wait indefinitely for your
millennium.
Once, when l was crossing the ocean,
an incident occurred which made me
laugh at first, and then it made me
sorry. In the steamer-chair right next
to mine on deck was pretty girl who
was weeping silently but bitterly.
l could not help putting to her the
sympathetic question: What is it,
may dear? Can help your
She stopped crying long enough to
look me over. Then her tears began
anew.
Il didn't think that Charlie would
ever see me with my hair out of curl
she sobbed.
And then, of course, L knew she was
a bride And / made a guess-which
Charles attitude when he appeared
changed into a conviction-as to what
their courtship had been like; it was,
without doubt, pretty little am
ourette, based on sentiment that was
real as far as III went hIIt whose
charm was chiefly of makeup and
background. The young things did not
know the first principles of compan-
ionship. They had not learned the A,
B C's of the art. or the science-which-
ever you choose-of loving on the level
of every day.
The colors on such romance as this
are as shallow as the tints on a but
terfy's wing. You can rub them off
with your finger
Of course youth and maturity look at
love from different standpoints. To the
one it means a thrill throbbing of
the pulses, a bewilderment of the
senses, sweet delirium of fancy. But
to the latter, to whom time has brought
the blessed knowledge that gray days
are in their own way as beautiful as
are the days of gold, love does not ap-
pear as Fata Morgana, splendid mis-
tress of all the treasure caverns of the
earth, but as a household angel, with
an aura of happiness encircling her
gentle brow.

life, with simple, grateful heart, read

HIGH PRICE FOR
OUR BERRIES

Our market never refuses the con-
sumer what he wants, no matter what
the season, if he is able and willing to
pay for it, says New York paper.
Fresh strawberries are now appealing
to the epicure, fresh, large. luscious
strawberries from California, looking
as tempting as the home variety in
midsummer.
They are sold in boxes, modest
boxes. that make no pretension to size.
BY actual count one of these boxes
held thirty-one precious berries. for
which the dealer asked 81 25. That
is an extremely small fraction more
than four cents for each berry. There
is not large demand for these ber
ries, but they are sold.

Love simply. Love with all the heart

through loving. And do not be afraid

RAPID Transit.

A lady whose friend asked her to
find maid for her wrote to a certain
excellent servant, who, as she knew,
was soon to be out of a place, and
asked her If she would like to live with
her friend, adding that the girl must
let her know her decision at once The
following day the inquirer received
letter in an envelope decorated with
ten one-cent stamps. In the letter,
which proved to be from the maid, it
was stated that she would like the place
in question, and that to be on time with
her answer she had sent her letter by
quick delivery. ."-Harper's Weekly.

BIG WHIST HAND.

A wonderful hand of whist was
played at the ST. Pauls Institute,
Grimsby, recently.
The cards were shuffied and dealt
in the usual way, but when the play
ers looked at their hands they found
that one of them (the dealer) had IL
spades, another IL hearts, the third
IL diamonds, and the fourth IL clubs.
Spades were trumps, and the lucky
dealer simply threw in his hand and

THE LONE C0AL NINE IN MAINE.
A special Report on an Interesting Dis
co,ery From the Geological Survey.

ORoSo. Me. Feb. Il.-Until a report was
issued recently by the United States Geologi-
cal Survey there were thousands of Maine
farmers who expected TO find the rocky
hills back Of their homes filed with high
grade anthracite Even now that the
dreams have been spoiled, there are many
who continue the search.
Two years ago tho Maine Legislature
was asked to give $4,000 toward searching
the seams in Washington county rocks
for coal. Though the money was not
granted. the agitation led 10 renewed ef
forts. The boards Of trade in the cities
and villages took up the quest, and the
tjdinRs spread to Washington and reached
the Geological Survey
Last summer Mr.. David White was sent
10 Maine with instructions to search the
State. His report is not encouraging.
The mino in the town of Perry. where
borr-gs moro then 500 feet deep had been
made turned out to be black slate, useful
in making stone walls, but Of no commercial
The outcropping in Westfed was in
durated graphite, too hard for Use IN
making pencils or for stove backing. but
handy for hurting at stray cattle:
The mine opened near Gardiner con-
tanned pune hornblende, which would have
been valuable years ago when flintlock
guns we're in use.
The only spot in Maine where real coal
was found was in the town Of Greenfield.
where a rock pocket holding nearly n bushei
of anthracite had been unearthed on
side hill among some mica schist Lodges.
Geologist White admitted that coal had
been discovered at last, though the rock
formation in which it was placed was some
ages older than any ledge IN which
coal had been discovered previously. IL
was not only immensely older than any
coal formation. but il was so aged that
no evidence Of life, either animal or vege-
table. was discernible. CIeologically speak
ing. the Maine coal mine was in the middle
of the azoic period millenlums before any
life had come upon earth.
II was 20 remarkable n find that Mr..
White made further investigation. He
discovered that forest fires swept over
the lands Of Greenfield in June 1902. burn
ing everything down TO hard pan. About
six rods away from the coal pocket Bangor
merchant had erected n small camp for
his accommodation while hunting. The
fire had licked up the camp even TO the
sills and piazza, leaving nothing but nails
and ashes. but the fire had not extended
TO the rocky pocket IN the side bill where
the Bangor man had stored the coal he
u,4ed In broiling his venison steaks.
SO the report stats that the only coal
mine discovered in Maine was filled with
fine quality OF anthracite containing
"a rer cent Of carbon, Every ounce Of II
was mined in the Reading district Of Penn
sylyania.
