She can sit on oyster beds and eat her lunch:
But when II comes to work I'm time Of trouble
The battle ships the lady with the punch,
The torpedo boats q spitefui little vixen;
She is long and slim. and saucy as q witch;
She can set the green and slippcry sea a-foaming
And can throw a tube and never drop a stitch
Her elder sisters yonder grim destroyer;
She can show her heels TO all the navy's bunch;
But both Of them stand back when work is needed
The battle ships the lady with the punch
The cruiser is a most engaging damsel;
She can fit across the seas Just ike q gull
And when 1t comes to repsrtee she's lively

comes to him as surprise. He Is
stunned and startled. He feels Ike a

what has happened to him, he may want
to go back again"
And he nearly always does broke in

It's never too late-to marry" I re-

NO" agreed Kitty but once you've
broken the web of love you can never

her illusions regarding you. she never
feels the same again. She may take you

or a horse that has once thrown you, or

The charm is broken and the enthusiasm
is gone. Besides, while the man is re-

the reflection isn't very becoming to him.
She has discovered that he is not a god.

Worst of all, she has found out that he

NOBODY LAUGHED But BABY
Even the Cat Was Annoyed When
the Cook Stove Exploded.
All Escape Injury but Members of
Family Are Covered with SCOT
from the stove.
From The Portland OreEonIan.

From the Portland Oregonian.
During the extreme cold weather in
the early part Of the week the kitchen
range in the home Of Mr.. and Mrs
Henry Stevens, in Milwaukee. was blown
to pieces by an explosion Of the hot water
pipes which connected with the tank.
the fragments being scattered in every
direction Mr.. and Mrs Stevens and
their infant child were in the room at
the tine. and although the missiles We're
thrown all around them they escaped in
jury Without knowing that the water in
the pipe coils leading to the tank had
frozen Mr.. Stevens built fire The baby
had been placed in its chair, close to the
range Mr.. Stevens was near by, and
Mrs. Stevens was coming from the pantry
and was just in front of the stove, when
the explosion took place.
The top lids were bh1Nn upward, etrik-
ing the ceiling, while the front doors
were driven through the wainscoting a
fragment Of iron was sent whEling by
Mrs Stevens head as she came out Of the
pantry. where it wrecked nearly all the
dishes and crockery. She was thrown to
one side by the conclusion and her face
was covered with SCOT. A stove lid was
driven directly toward the baby. but
passed between its feet, and did not touch
the child. Another lid took a direction
toward Mir. Stevens, but missed his head
by d few inches but it was SO close that
Mr. Stevens felt the impact OF the air.
A fragment was sent hurting through a
window, crashing both sash and window.
The wreck was complete, and the re
markabie feature of the accident was that
the baby and Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens es-
capped injury with all the fragments fly
ing about them. a pitcher Of cream that
was standing in the pantry was blown
across the room and deposited in a bas-

was not alarmed Il seemed to think
the explosion had been gotten up for its
special benefit, and laughed and clappeG
its hands in great glee at the blackened

COAL MINERS HAVE CHANGED.
Socialism NOW Instead of sociabIIIty,
the old Men Say.

the Old Men Say.
Anybody can work in the coal mines
nowadays said an old miner. 1T wasn't
SO when 1 was young. / worked in so
opening a heading at the No. d. and H
mines. and If you ever go up there look
at the old opening Of No 8.
It's as pretty a piece of work as ever
you looked at. and every inch of it done
with a hand drill The old miner took a
personal pride in his work. or rather his
art"
Men who have worked in the mines for
any length OF time do not seem to be able
to do anything else, says the Rosary
Magazine. The old miners are a frugal
temperate, well-living class OF men, edu-
Gated IN our schools and thoroughly
American.
On these men, who own their own little
homes and have families, has fallen the
greatest burden Of strike obligations i'm
posed by the miners union. Little OF the
public relief was given TO them-they
were counted upon 10 live on their prop
erty. The shiftless, the untrustworthy,
the insurgent had to be cared for-the
straying sheep had TO be lured back.
The good old days OF the small. indi-
vidual mine owner are past. for the big
fish have eaten all the little ones. The
Old kindly relation that existed between
mine owner and man, when every miner
knew his employer and the employer
knew all his men, is gone. The Old-time
employer WAS the father, the banker. the
adviser Of his men. Now all that is
changed.
But we're making more money! said
a young man To an older one who was
n...-ar 1r-.~
Yes. answered the old man, more
money, but there's no sOCiability at all in
workin' in the mines these tines
More socialistic and therefore less so
Ciable-that is the situation of the miner
to-day in the anthracite coal fields

ciety Of Chicago at its annual luncheon

THE Native Tribes Of the Congo
These blacks" he said, are cleaner In
every respect than any white person
ever saw. They have horror Of dirt
and filth in every form They battle three
or four times every day in the year. The
enormous precOcity of the children is a
striking feature of life among the tribes
Of the Congo. It is no unusual thing 20
find children five years old who speak
several languages. They develop both
physically and mentally at a remarkably
early age.
a friend said to me since my return
from Africa that ne thought perhaps that
in time the natives of the Congo might
become our equals in some respects. and
/ replied that to-day they were our supe-
riors in several respects.
They are our superiors as traders.
They might exchange something which
we regard as very valuable for a worth

really want the tTinket
They are just as vain as we are, too.

CONFEDERATES TO Be AIDED
Southern Relief Ball Is to Raise
Funds for Needy,
Women Who Work for Society Have
Already Raised Much, but Expect
More from Function.

The following communication from Miss
Mamie Randolph Heth. president Of the
Southern Relief Society. explains the OBJ
ject Of the coming charity ball to be given
by that organization:
To the Public
The annual Southern Relief bail. which
takes place at the New Willard Hotel
next Tuesday night February 3. is for the
benefit Of the needy Confederate veterans.
widows, and orphans. The work Of the so
ciety. which now numbers over 900 mem
bers-for its one great aim is that none
shall appeal. who, if found worthy. shall
fail to find an ever-ready response. Dur
ing the past year these energetic women
have raised several thousand dollars. The
largest portion is netted from their an
nual bah. The great work accomplished
is most pathetic. Besides finding employ
ment for those who are Lble TO work, the
aged and helpless are placed in institu-
tiOns where their needs viii be pro-
vided for.
A most touching case Of this kind has
just met with success. An aged and inva-
lid veteran, perfectly helpless. who, after
months of battle with want and sickness,
has at last found a haven Of rest where
his remaining days viii be peaceful and
his every want supplied. So often naught
but the alnshouse stares these poor IN
f0rtunates in the face. and timely aid
can, in many instances. tide over their
distress. frequently caused by illness or
sudden misfortune.
Transportation is given not only III
summer for those who seek this form Of
relief, but also TO those stranded. An In
firm and feeble widow Of eighty years was
given immediate assistance and relief, and
later transportation was secured 10 her
distant home in Texas. thus enabling her
20 spend her last years with loved ones
Besides, there are thirty-five regular
pensioners, for many Of whom are found
not only shelter, but food, clothes, and
fuel Countless times these women. who
in youth had homes of refinement and
luxury, now are found ia attics, penniiess,
alone. with scarcely a warm garment, not
to mention the utter lack OF even the
semblance Of a stove 10 warm them. 1t
is for these cases that aid is given and
needed. and it is by generous patronage
OF the ball that the necessary funds are

changes have been wrought since the

road has grown a prosperous suburb Of
residences and factories. IN the vicinity
is located the Lutheran Home, the gift
