A FULL
PLEDGED COAL.
FAMINE
There is Hardly a Pound of
Fuel for Sale in the City
Some Coming.

East Grand Forks is enjoying full
hedged coal famine. There is hardly
a pound of coal on sale in the city, and
should cold weather come, it would be
hard on number of people who are
short of fuel. There is considerable
coal enroute, but at noon it had failed
to reach here. Grand Forks coal deal
ers are situated somewhat the same as
local dealers, and the situation is not
at all attractive to the man who wants
to keep warm.
1t is not expected that the famine
will last very long, as some of the
shipments should be very near the city
by this time, having been in transit for
number of days.

THE SkTCHEL WAS BOLDLY STOLEN
Grand Rapids Woman Was Victim of
Theft While at Crookston Great
Northern Depot.

One of the boldest robberies ever
committed in Crookston, occurred
when satchel was stolen from the
side of Great Northern conductor as
he was helping Mrs. A. Billedeau and
her family from the train. Although
the police have been hunting for the
satchel 1t cannot be found and there
is no trace of the clever thief.
Mrs. Billedeau and children arrived
from Grand Rapids on the Duluth
train. She gave her satchel to the
conductor and he placed it beside the
train while he helped the family off.
When they came to look for the satch-
ell it was gone and the thief had taken
advantage of the partial darkness to
make away with the grip and contents.
Mrs. Billedeau had SIS in the satchel
besides number of personal effects.

PONCE DE LEoN's SPRING.
Woman Has Refused to Sell the Prop.
 erty for $45,0oo.

There are ten acres of ground sur. rounding the spot where Ponce de Leon, on his second visit to what is now St. Augustine, discovered youth. History tells that he failed to locate It on his first visit from Spain to this section. but that on second trip, in 15i3, he was more successful. The property, called Neptune springs, is owned by widow, who, with her daughter. stands at the old-fashioned we'll affair. and sells the water to tour fists who visit her in great numbers. The water is the purest kind of lithia, cool and pleasant to the taste. Re gently she was ofGs-.d s45,000 for Nep- tune springs. which has other good springs aside from Ponce on 1t. It is located short distance from the ruins of the old stone wall and gates of the city of St. Augustine, used when this was province of Spain and when Spanish governor general oc- cupied as a residence the building now used by Uncle Sam as a post of ice. Not far away are the ruins of the old Spanish Fort Marion, wrecked and ruined by shell from the gunners who fought under the stars and stripes. Ponce de Leon's find is now well within the confines of the city. The widow thought it too valuable to dispose 6f. So she refused the offer of s45,000 and goes on ladling out water from Ponce's well as though she had not tossed aside a small for tune.

Conner In Africa.


 It is believed by some that the greatest copper industry in the world will be developed in the Taaganyika region. where the properties are of great potential value. and may prove to be one of the greatest factors in carrying civilization into the heart of Africa. Much time is required for de velopments. Because of the heavy speculation in the shares these may suffer much before the properties be- come dividend earning. The Ben gueles railway cannot well be com pleted for five years or 50. and even the Rhodesia railways extensions are now 10 require couple of years ere they can reach the property. Robert Williams is the pioneer and. In a great measure. the organizer of this vast undertaking. one If ;hs most re- markable Of modern time7.

EVOLUTION OF GLASS EYES.
Were First Brought Into Use In the
 Seventeenth Century.

That is an artificial eye of the sew
 enteenth century" said the curator of the medical museum. Tt isn't very deceptive. is it?" The ancient eye resembled what is called a patch. There was band to encircle the head, and a semi-circle of leather with a human eye painted on it--a large, blue, staring eye. It was, in fact, simply a patch on which an eye was painted. Next came these silver shells" said the curator. They were inserted un- der the lid in the empty socket. A little more deceptive, eh?" The shells. in shape like halves of wal nuts, had eyes upon them, and were not unsightly. They were so dull and opaque, though. that no one would ever have taken them for the real thing. Next came eyes of porce- lain," the curator went on, waving his hand toward case of fairly pre- sentable porcelain eyes. "and finally we got glass eyes-transparent, bril- liant eyes that will never be improved on till movable pupil is invented. a pupil that, somehow, will work in harmony with the other pupil Many an inventor is working on this nov able pupil idea. Of course. there's a fortune in 1t for the successful man."

GOOD USE FOR PHoNoeRAPH.
It HowIs for the Police When Flat of

The wave of crime which has been passing over Paris lately and which the police seem quite powerless to prevent has caused the citizens to adopt various devices to protect their homes from invasion by the Apaches. Dogs having proved utterly useless, more than one family has sought pro- lection by placing a stand with a par. rot or cockatoo possessing specially loud squawk just inside their flats almost everyone in Paris lives in a fiat. An electrical engineer, however, has found phonograph the best pos. sible watchman. He locates it with the megaphone attachment directed to the door and he has wired the hall and arranged batteries so that the moment the door is opened three inches the phonograpn gets into ac- tion. It begins to below Police! Help. Murder! Thleves!" and 1t keeps 1t up until he gets out of bed and turns of the current. His flat is well furnished with plate and other valuables and several attempts have been made to rob 1t, but no thieves have yet withstood the phonograph Dombardment. They run SO quickly that they are never caught.

precoeious Children.

In the world of music we find many instances of boys giving an early indication of a remarkable career. Handel and Mozart each showed a liking for music when young in years, and soon made their mark. Handel began composing a church service for voices and instruments when orly nine years old, and before he was 10 he had composed three operas. Mozart began the piano at three. and at seven he taught himself the violin. At nine years of age he visited Eng land. and on his departure he gave farewell concert. of which all the symphonies were composed by him sell.
