gegg-hunt In n large-ynrd behind US.
They had over a hundred eggs OF oil
acolors---,two and three lust alike, en-
copt yellow; there was only ono which
was called tho golden egg. These eggs
were made Of candy and tied up into
cloth and put into different places nil
over tho yard. Some were put into
tho ground. and several were hung on
~ The e'u one that found tho golden egg
would get a prize of n Easter basket
and Chicken.
Tho tickets were only three cents
apiece. or tho bno that sold six tickets
could come free. Some girls and boys
found three md four. and soma fvo,
but those that found one kept that
ono, and those that found more were
divided among those that didn't Nnd
any.
nut tho ono that had tho golden esq
had one besides. They Ind ice-creanl
and candy to SELL ten cents saucer,
which WIS set around on tables. After

spent. So hope this Easter they Will

USING UP THE COAL.

american Review of Reviews.)
Edward w. Parker, the govern
ment's coal expert, has shown that if
the coal areas of the United States
were simply spread out in layer six
and one-half feet thick, which he con-
siders fair average, we should OBJ
tain 1000 tons of coal per acre, after
leaving enough coal underground to
support the roof.
Our 100000 square miles of coal ter
ritory at this rate would give us a
supply of 100000, 900 tons in all.
We used up 393,OOO,OOO tons of coal
in 1905 and 425,000,000 last year. In
all we have used so far 6,OOO,OOO,OOO
tons-that is, we have worked out a
little less than a million acres of coal
up to the end Of 1906.
OF course, at the rate of production
during the last year or two, our coal
supply would last (as nearly as We can
estimate) between 1000 and 5000
years. But We produced as much coal
in the last ten years as in all of the
previous years since the United States
has been a nation. The entire coal
product has doubled even ten years.
If that rate Of increase were to con-
tinue, the total supply would be ex-
hausted in the next century. Even at
the present rate Of production the an
thracite areas of Pennsylvania will be
exhausted in the next rs or 100 years.

IN THE RECENT SLUMP.

Alfred H. Curtis, president of the
New York State Banking Association.
said: Il heard of one instance where
a man lost more than $1,000,000 an
hour between the hours Of the opening
and closing Of the stock exchange At
the beginning of the day he had
credit Of $7,000,000 with his brokers.
When the market closed at o'clock
it had been reduced to $750,000. Still
a rich man, you say, but in his own
mind doubtless a veritable pauper.
Things that he could do a couple of
days ago are now impossible, unattain-
able. Luxuries that he regarded on
Tuesday or Wednesday merely as the
necessities Of life are now only things
to dream about. And this $6,25O,000
loss is only one instance. There are
hundreds Of other men who have part
ed with amounts ranging from $780,
900 to $1,000,000.

A HOPELESS PUZZLE.
(Long Branch Record.)

\AOuS DIduCu ItGCOTu.)
The New York World has revived
discussion Of the state question, What
is Democrat?"
The World frankly admits that it
is puzzled. 1t is entangled in mesh
Of questions.
What is a Democrat in this par
ticular year Of the Lord?" it asks. "If
Mr.. Bryan is Democrat, what is
Mr.. Cleveland? If Mr.. Cleveland is
a Democrat, what is Mr.. Hearst? If
Mr.. Hearst is a Democrat, what is
Judge Parker? If Judge Parker is
Democrat, what are Murphy, Con-
ners and McCarren? If they are Dem
ocrats, what is Woodrow Wilson? If
he is a Democrat, what is Tom Tag
CART? If Taggart is Democrat, what
are Daniels and Rayner and Culberson
and Morgan and John Sharp Williams?
And if they are Democrats, what are
Ryan and Belmont?'
There is not one person in a thou
sand who can go over this list with
out getting dizzy.
The word Democrat is used to cover
such a multitude Of sins that anyone
willing to take the risk can thus des-
ignate himself.

THAT COMMODITY BANK.
(Florida Times-Union.)

When the farmers asked that the
treasury come to their relief, the Re-
publican orators and journals secuted
the idea as destructive of all law and
every principle of political economy.
But since then an agricultural bank
has been providd to lend funds to Fill
pino farmers, and the treasury has
made practice of going to the relief
of Wall street" so that whenever a
speculator is "pinched" he promptly
indites a prayer that is heard in Wash
ington. The farmers could not have
the use OF the money they paid in, al
though they offered good security, but
the aliens and the spectators can
have it ION tap" as we'll as on time.

Representative Gardiner, of Massa-

What was that?" inquired the
friend.
"Oh, nothing!" said Mr.. Gardiner.
"The president has just taken another
railroad president out in the White
House lot and shot him.
When Mr. Gardiner reached the
White House he told the story to the
president, who laughed uproariously
and seemed to enjoy the joke.

The Chattanooga Times says that
Senator Cox has introduced a bill in
the legislature to the effect that the
Louisville & Nashville R. r. hasn't any
right to be publishing a daily news
paper in Tennessee. The senator
probably expects his bill will not pass
but he might accomplish some good
purpose if he can and does show up
just what papers are owned and con-
trolled by this railroad, if any.

AN OLD-FASHIONED COURT.
(COrdele Rambler.)

The supreme court of Florida thinks
that railroad, before it pays out any
dividends to it's stockholders must
first give the public safe and COM
Portable mode of travelling. We hope
that this decision will be made the
basis of all railroad decisions of the
courts, even of different states, but
so many of our judges have been cor
poration lawyers and feel that the
railroads owe their first duty to it's
stockholders, even to declaring divi-
dends on watered stock, that it will be
hard to get this decision generally ac-
cepted by our courts.

TAXING FRANCHISES.

The attorney-general of New Hamp-
shire has given an opinion of the le-
gality Of tax on corporate franchises,
and finds such tax constitutional,
subject to such limitations in regard
to double taxation as are imposed by
the constitution" The Boston Herald
says of this opinion: ''If this is fol-
lowed by carefully drawn franchise
tax law, the state Of New Hampshire
will have laid it's hand on very fruit
full and very proper source of revenue
not as penalty, but only as fair
contribution toward the needs of the

EXPRESS RATES FILED.

The Southern Express Company has
filed with the Alabama railroad COM
mission a partial schedule of it's rates,
as required by an order of the COM
mission at it's last meeting.
The new law gives the commission
authority over the express companies
as we'll as the railroads.
The ruling with reference to express
companies is new. 1t is said the South
ern Express Company has $1,000
rates in Alabama. Heretofore none
of these rates were distributed to the
public.

They say that Mr.. Crawford Wheat

of railroad legislation were dema-

We suppose he feels that that crowd
who believe that the railroads should
get all they ask for are the real pat
riots. Mr.. Wheatley understands
these things, he having been a state
senator.

FavOrS the Referendum.

In the current number of the Vermont
Issue, the official organ of the Vermont
Anti-Saloon League, there appears an
interview from H. n Turner in which he
favors the re-submission of the local
option-liquor law to the people, believ-
ing that if a referendum was granted the
state would adopt prohibition by a safe
majority. Mr.. Turner is free to admit
that in many Vermont towns conditions
are better than under the old law, but he
thinks the lessons learned from the prev
alence of the open saloon have been
very expensive and ought not to be con-
tinued longer than necessary.
The fact that the referendum is cham
pioned by such prominent citizen Of
Vermont as Mr.. Turner willcal renewed
attention to the various demands that
have been made the past year in our re-
ligious bodies for re-submssion. And
since the new law went into effect wave
of prohibition has swept the southern
states and Booker Washington predicts
that the whole South will be dry in 1910
Mr.. Turner's vision is by no means a
narrow one and his attitude on the
temperance question may be influenced
by what he thinks he sees is coming in
Vermont.
