the suit In the name Of the Pitcairn
Coal Company, which is a corpora.
tion created and existing under the
laws of West virginia and owns a
tract Of land containing 1000 acres
of coal at this place, and operates a
mine here, on the line of the Baiti-
more & Ohio railroad. The capacity
Of the mine, 1t is claimed, Is 1000
tons per day for shipment. Its
operators assert, however, that they
have never been able to get enough
cars from the Baltimore & Ohio and
that they have therefore been unable
to I'LL their contracts. They also
claim that the road has given undue
preference to other competing COM
panies.

The Only Shade.

1t was a broiling hot day in the
park, and those walking therein
were well nigh exhausted when a
very stout old lady came bustling
along one of the paths, closely fol-
lowed by a rough looking tramp.
Twice she commanded him to leave
her, but still he followed just behind.
At last the old lady, quite disgusted,
turned angrily around and said,
'<Look here, my man, if you don't go
away I shall call a policeman"
The poor fellow looked up at her
with a tear in his eye and then re-
marked, 'sFor goodness sake, mum,
have mercy and don't call a police
man, for we're the on'y shady spot in
the park"

The Head of the Herd

To the farmer breeder who breeds
dairy cows for their dairy worth l
would recommend the plan of breeding
producers together to get producers.
would go to that breeder of pure bred
stock whose reputation for truth telling
is above question and ask him to show
me the individual records of his herd
for as many years as he can. This he
can do, for any man who is worthy the
title of breeder knows the performance
of his animals. Look among the bulls
he has for sale for one whose mother
and both grandmothers have yielded
above 800 pounds Of fat for several
years in succession. Then look for
vigor and strength and evidence of
function in that individual. and see
that among his relatives there are no
weaklings.-Professor G. NJ. Gowell.
