/ / now WOnuerlully, OlIei IttlICllE,
are made the COmmOneSt words we use
so trippingly on the tongue. Our every
day speech is such a universal commodity
and medium that its aCriform content
flows forth almost without our giving 1T
thought as to the real meaning each
particle bears; yet 1t contains all thought.
1t has borne generation after generation,
in its embrace veal and woe, JOY and sor
row, fun and frolic, pity and pathOs; in
deed, each emphatic syllable is packed
with a story of direct human interest,
bursting with human nature.
For instance, what really is the import
of the phrase " keeping company one
so familiar in the currency of modern
society speech | opine the real human
interest in it is never suspected. Per
haps, upon expressing a desire to a
woman friend that you would like to
drop in this evening" she might hur-
riedly reply; "Oh, | am keeping COM
pany this evening; or: Il shall have
company this evening" If a young
man of spirit, you might receive such
would be sure that whoever the com
pany" was you likely would have a
rough guess too as to his identitv-for
of course 1T would be of the masculine
GENDER would receive the best enter
tainmcnt the young woman's home
could afford and such an entertainment
might, you are thinking, take the form
of a regular spread" and the table
would be loaded or groan under the
good things of the pantry. Submitting
to your fate, you would feel your eyes
grow moist, at least your mouth would
water for the things you would miss,
wishing you might have secured the place
of the much-honored company your
self
Keeping company" then, is phrase
doing most practical social service.
1t means. in SO far as the young woman
is concerned, as it is generally used in
reference to herself. that certain
person is waiting upon" her or that
this certain person is devoting his
attentions to- her. i'll fact, is court
ing her in the front parlor, the appro-
pirate place where one can speak for
oneself
The mission, then, of this full-frcighted
vehicle, company, has been a brave and
hearty one; and it tells a story of its
own life that is full of the romance of
mateShip, 1t raises blisstul pictures of
when we We're young together" The
whole soul of the mouthful is in the
syllable PAN, which Is reduced from the
parent word faH's, which was used in
old Rome for bread, and which Is still
kept alive in France to-day in PAIN
Bread has always been a symbol; but in
this instance it tells a story of flesh and
blood
Now how came we to use the word Pan
or Panis for bread; According to GER

Allegations Are Untrue.

field, commissioners of corporations,
resumed the stand in the packers case
today. The opening of the examina.
ton was on the books examined BY
Mr.. Garfield when he visited Chicago.
February %. 1905. The books showed
the assembling Of profits and loss &C.
counts OF the different packers. He
said that he examined the totals only.
and that no figures were taken from
the books.
District Attorney Morrison then
took up the subject of the converse.
ton between representatives of Swift
Il Co. and Commissioner Garfield.
He asked the commissioner: ibid
Edward Swift say in the presence of
Charles H. Swift that you had said in
previous convers alton that all the in
formation taken would be regarded as
co~nfidential:'
"He did not"
During the introduction of evidence
by the packers, affirmation was made
by different witnesses to nearly all Of
the questions to which Commissioner
Garfield entered q denial.
When Commissioners Garfield at
tempted to tell what instructions he
had given to his agents prior to the
beginning of the investig alton, the at
torneys for the packers objected
strongly. but after a legal argument
between the lawyers, the witness was
allowed to state what his instructions
were He declared that he told the
agents of the department that If access
was given to the books Of the packers
they were to go to the books; that no
detective methods should be used; that
there would be no use of compulsion,
or a suggestion of such a thing on the
part of the government. They were to
be referred to the commissioner for
adjustment.
District Attorney Morrison asked
what information had been secured
by the commissioner outside of the
books of the packers. Garfield said
that much of it had been secured from
the bureau of animal industry, as
we'll as from cattle raisers, feeders
and commission men. Butchers were
questioned regarding the price of the
meats.

After Wandering for nine days in the
depths of the earth, suffering the tor
nents Of hunger, thirst and fear and
traversin- miles Of corridors through
~lmpenetrablc darkness, Joseph Davis, a
Pole, managed to reach a part of the
Pittston mine where his comrades were
working and was brought unconscious

respondent Of the Chicago Record.Her-
aid. His perils did not end then. The
men who had been searching for him
for days and finally had given him up
for dead almost killed him with kind
ness. They gave the famished man
large quantities Of food and beer, which
he swallowed ravenously, and was
made so i'll that it was feared he would
die. A physician hastily summoned by
means Of q stomach pump saved his life.
1t was the morning of Wednesday,
Dec. 20, that Davis started to work in
the mine. In some manner he became
separated from the other workers and
wandered into an abandoned part OF
the great underground world, where
he soon became lost in the tangle Of
corridors which ran in every direction.
At first he was not alarmed. 1t did

finding his way in such places. could

Finally the realization came over the
man that he was hopelessly lost and
that he must husband every resource
at his command If he hoped to get out
alive. His dinner pail was well filed

possible.
He ate sN"rinSiy his first meal and
again started out Oh his wanderings.
He cried at the top Of his voice every
now and then, but only the echoes an

On the second day the oil in his lamp
gave out, and he was left in darkness.
His progress necessarily became more
slow. Any false step might dash him
to death in some shaft sunk below the
level of the corridors.
He felt his way about. still shouting
for help. and eating sparingly OF the
contents Of his dinner pail and mois-
tening his parched lips with the tea.
Though he had no means of telling the
passage of time. he estimates that it
must have been about the fourth day
that the food and tea gave out.
After that his sufferings became terri

Finally the mans presence of mind
left him. He forgot his caution and ran
blindv about, risking his life at every

shout no more. Once he saw in the dis
lance the lights Of the men who were
searching for him, but his throat would
utter no sound, and before he could
reach them he sank down from exhaus-
ton. When he revived no one was in
sight.
Almost insane from fear, hunger and
loss Of sleep, he arose and staggered on.
Hour after hour he wandered until,
passing a cross corridor, he felt Il
strong draft of fresh air ON his face.
He followed this, knowing it would
lead to the vcntilator and to a used part
Of the mine.

A Talkative Detective Tells Newspapers
Very Sensational Story.

DENVER, Feb. 20.-In an interview
published here today, Detective James
Mcfarland denies the report that he
secured a confession from Harry
Orchard, charged with the murder of
Ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg at
Caldwell, Idaho, December 80 last,
duplicating the officers of the Western
Federation of Miners in that crime
and many others, though he claims to
have ample evidence of their guilt.
"There have been statements made
by various parties" said Officer Nc.
Pharland, 'but l know of none made
by Orchard and as l have been the
only man at work on the case, l think
I would have known Of it had there
been one.
81 undertook the investig alton of
Governor Steunenberg's death at the
request of his personal friend, Gov.
ernor George Gooding, and Governor
Gooding has personally paid what
expenses have been incidental to my
Investigation. l felt it my duty as q
citizen Of Colorado to outroot the
gang and as such l undertook the
work. These fellows thought that it
was so long ago that l had broken up
the Mollie Maguires that l must now
be in my dotage. They were not
afraid of me. But there is a weak
spot in every wall, especially such a
n as that upon which the Western
Federation was founded, and that
weak spot l found. 1t will cost Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone and as many
more, their lives.
McPharland claims TO have secured
positive evidence that members of the
Western Federation planned and
carried out the assassination of
Detective Lyle Gregory, killed mys.
t~eriously in West Denver two a
