Young Harwood's Cousin Evelyn
had invited him down to her country
place to stop over the holidays. He
arrived just before dinner, to find that
he had left his golf clubs behind him
1t was most exasperating; but his
cousin comforted him somewhat by
promptly offering the use OF her clubs
The next day he started early FOR the

Of the clubhouse, with lot of girls on

longer without jeopardizing any of the
remaining trust funds, of which he has
some two millions, and while his wife,
who is an invalid, knows the judge is
in some trouble, she does not suspect
his real position. His daughter says
that when the blow came, that day of
the panic, when Reinhart damned the
stock out of sight and scuttied her
fathers bankers and partners in the
road, the Wilson's of Baltimore, she
had a frightful struggle to Keep her
father from going insane. She told
me that for three days and nights she
kept him locked in their rooms at their
hotel in Baltimore. to prevent him
from hunting Reinhart and his lawyer
Rettybone and killing them both, but
that at last she got him Gained down

MADE HIS RECORD CLEAN.
Driver Had Missed One Rock and Had
to Go Back.

Some years ago Gen. Miles started
to drive from Red Lodge. Mont, to
Cody, Wyo, to see his friend, Buffalo
Bill. The road was rough. and the
reckless driving OF the man holding
the lines made 1t seem rougher, but
the Indian fighter compressed his
lips and chung. to the seat without
complaint. When near Cody the gen.
eral suddenly prodded the driver in
the back with his walking stick and
said CURLY: Driver. turn around"
"What?" exclaimed the astonished
driver. "Do as / tell YOU" command.
ed Miles. So the man turned the
horses about and started back to Red
Lodge. Nov turn here" ordered
Miles, after they had driven few
yards. CONVINCED that his distin.
guished passenger had suddenly lost
his mind. the driver turned about
once more and. started for Cody.
"There!" exclaimed Miles, In a tone
of satisfaction. as the side wheels
struck a stone and he bounded into
the air. You hit It! Now. driver.
you can go back to Red Lodge and
tell them that you drove rs miles and
never missed rock. You've hit
them, every one"

Concrete Work In Mines.

The newest innovation that has
taken place in the method of working
a coal mine is the substitution Of con-
crete for the mine timbering. The ex.
periments along this line are being
made by the Reading Coal company
at Shamokin, Pa. 4 plant for the
manufacture of these cement props
will be erected at the North Franklin
colliery. Treyorton. from which place
the new style of "timbering" will sbe
sent to all the other collieries. The
Reading company has spent consider
able time and money in determining
the best method for preserving mine
timbers. and the present step seems
to indicate that in the future cement
will replace wooden props.
Women have all the virtues OF
priests and all the vices OF tyrants,--
