BRET HARTE PREDICTED 1T

In one of his early contributions TO
the Overland Monthly, entitled Tne
Ruins of San Francisco" Bret Harte
had a wonderfully interesting imagina-
tive account of the prospective destruc-
ton of the city, IT opened thus:
Toward the close of the nineteenth
century the city Of San Francisco was
totally destroyed by an earthquake.
Although the whole coast line must
have been much shaken, the accident
seems to have been purely local, and
even the city Of Oakland escaped.
II he had located the event little
later the prophecy would have been
remarkable, though doubtless a purely
IMAGINATIVE production. Unhappily. the
poet did not live to brag about his
good guess.

The question is often asked, What is
contract coal?" Contract coal is that
part Of the coal product sold at a con-
tract or minimum price to large con-
sumers, such as our railroads and our
great refineries and steel Industries, on
yearly contracts. The system has a
tremendous advantage for the buyer
and it has an even greater advantage
for the miner. 1t has also an advan-
tage to the coal mine operator because
these annual contracts are a necessity
IN order to keep the mines running dur
ing the dull season, but the advantage
to the operator Is Offset by the con-
sideration that on these contracts, when
dullness prevails, the companies with
whom contracts have been made usual
~ take only the minimum quantity,
and In the busy season, when every
body wants coal and when free coal"
to the operator would mean large prof.
Its, these same companies take the
maximum quantity.-Fuel.

The shah of Persia is a man Of

unmixed joys at the courts he honors.
On the occasion of his recent stay in
st. Petersburg his peculiarities gave
infinite trouble to the Russian court Of
fcials. One of his most trying idiosyn-
crasies is his habit of occasionally go
ing to bed for twenty-four hours at a
stretch. giving strict orders that he is
not to be disturbed under pain Of
death. More than once the days Sc
lected were those on which special
festivities had been arranged in Ills
honor. As a matter of fact, his maj.

THE SUBTLE SULTAN.

His Capacity For Deception MOunts
Almost to Genius.
OF the subtlety and guile of the sui
tan Of Turkey a diplomat writes: The
sultan can lie and cheat with all the
bland simplicity Of the heather Chinee
in fact, his capacity for deception
amounts to little short Of genius. re-
member that a shrewd Yankee friend
of mine, who was minister at Constan-
tinople, pitted his brains against those
of the sultan. He had been specially
commissioned by the United States to
collect some outstanding debts which
had been long due. The sultan ac-
knowledged the debts cheerfully; he
was most anxious to pay them; he
would pay them before those due to
any other power. However, my diplO-
matte friend determined to pay visit
to the sultan and to wake him up. He
had already refused a present which
the sultan had sent to him of two SUI
perb Arab horses, which, had he had
weak spot, would assuredly have found
it. My friend was tenacious. He had
often lassoed and thrown and held a
bull in Texas, and he was cute, as all
good Yankees are. Besides, he was an
cry with the sultan, and things had
reached a crisis.
But he had not been two minutes In
the society of the commander Of the
faithful before all Of his resentment be-
gan to ooze out of his finger tips. He
told me that, looking into that benevo-
lent countenance and listening to that
gentle voice, he could not believe that
the sultan was not as innocent as the
child that had just seen the light. Still,
he had come there on business. He was
very resolute. Again and again he had
preached the subject, and every time
the sultan had given him the assurance
that the account would be settled pres
emily. He took him over his grounds
and led my friend to recount the stories
Of his rough riding in Texas, his ex-
ploits in the civil war. The sultan
showed some knowledge and great in
terest in these affairs. A detailed and
particular account Of the American
constitution was next.
'Then came dinner There followed,
while they smoked cigars together like
two old cronies, a Turkish comedy,
with Turkish dancing girls. Then sud-
denly and with words gracious but few
the sultan disappeared. 1t was late.
My friend returned to the legation,
cheerful and exasperated, beaten and
content. The next morning he realized
that in a diplomatic play with the sui
tan it was he who was as innocent as
the child that had just seen the light.
He never got those debts paid. "-Chica-

an expensive court running without
business. He would, therefore, ignore
the roster whenever 1t did not produce
business and would sound the docket,
continuing what cases we're not ready
