A Seattle paper contains the fol-
lowing:
Wholesale dealers are responsible
for lack of fuel and increased prices
in Seattle, by deliberately keeping
down production and creating an arti-
ficial shortage, while there Is enough
coal under the ground close to the
city to provide fuel not only for the
residents of Seattle, but for the fleets
Of the world when in action. This is
the opinion of G. A. Redding, who
has retired from the coal business, in
which he was engaged for many years
In Seattle.
There is no Justification" he said,
"for an increase in the price of coal,
except the desire of the operators to
get as much as possible for their pro-
duct. To do this they depend upon
the urgent needs of the people and
take advantage of desperate circum-
stances. Last winter It was impossi-
BILE, great part of the time, for the
retail dealers to get coal, and the
wholesale men, knowing that coal
was sorely needed. kept as little on
hand as possible, and then pretended
that 1t could not be obtained.
"Coal has gone up in price within
the last few weeks at the bunkers
without the least reason in the world.
it does not cost any more to mine
now than it did formerly. The men
do not get any increase in wages and
the cost of bringing It to the city has
| not advanced. The fact IL, all the
coal lands in Washington belong to
corporations that are interested in
keeping them in an undeveloped con-
dition. Thousands and thousands of
acres of coal lands close to Seattle, II
forced to give up their hidden treas
ure, would provide fuel not only suf-
ficient for the needs of Seattle, but
for the entire navies Of the world
when in action"

His Grace.

Little Milly is good Sunday school,
scholar and on that account was invit
ed with two or three. others to spend
the day at the minister's residence by
way of reward. When the dinner came
on the good man said such a long
grace before meat that Milly yawned
and looked hungrily at the covers.
"Why are you yawning, MillyY ask
ed the minister. Does not your IA
ther say grace?"
"Oh, yes" answered Afilly promptly.
"but 1t isn't 50 long as that"
And what does he say?" pursued
the clergyman, hoping to obtain a text
for a little homily.
"He says different things, but last
time when he sat down he took off the
cover and said Great snakes! Do you
call this dinnerp"

What Verdi Did With the Key OF
Locked Plano.
Not all the great composers have
courted the constant adulation Of the
world. Verdi used to lament that he
was unable to find refuge, even for
brief space, from the reputation that
preceded him wherever he went
At one time he desired to spend a
much needed holiday at the watering
place Of MontecatinL When he arrived,
he found that in one Of the apart
ments assigned to him stood grand
piano Of noted make. On the rack,
by way Of compliment, lay the score Of
I'll Trovatore." AS soon as he caught
sight Of 1t the veteran few into rage,
hastily locked the instrument, threw
the score into corner and, calling for
his host, demanded in tragic tones:
Lead me to the spot that overhangs
the steepest precipicer
Wondering, the host did as he was
hidden, and on reaching the summit
the maestro, who was almost exhaust
ed from fatigue, flung the key Of the
piano into the abyss, energetically ex-
claiming as he did so:
Now l have done something to Sc
cure rest and quiet. On the day Of my
departure l shall send a locksmith to
provide the piano with a new key, but
while l am here / pray you let 1t re-
main as II ls."-New York Tribune.

whoever sleeps will wake no more"
The brave doctor and his men had
tramped considerable distance
through the swamps, when the wealth
er became suddenly colder and fierce
blasts Of wind drove the snow before
1t. In short time the cold became SO
intense as to cause the most oppress-
i've drowsiness. DR.. Solander was the
first to find the inclination to sleep,
and he insisted upon lying down. In
vain his companions entreated and re-
monstrated. He lay down, and when
told that he would inevitably freeze
to death answered that he desired
nothing more than to lie down and die.
One of the black servants lay down
also. Solander declared himself willing
to go on, but begged to be allowed to
sleep first, and in a few moments the
two men were In profound sleep.
Soon after, those who had been sent
forward to kindle fire returned with
the welcome news that the fire await

happily succeeded In awakening So

asleep five minutes, had almost lost
the use of his limbs, and the flesh was

on, but all attempts to arouse the black
man were futile, and he was left to
die.

Medallion IN EyeIet

school or shop, having limited ward
robe throughout, has worn these with
any makeshift and on any occasion.
One Of tue ever-popular and easy
designs for embroidery. whether for
hat, shirt waist, linen collar and
cuffs. table mats or for fiouncings and
other decorations of underwear is the
daitv pattern. The flower may have
five OF a dozen petals, the petals may
be in the eyelet or solid, and SO with
the center, but a combination Of the
two forms is most effective, perhaps,
although very frequently both petals
and center are In eyelet. Medallions
are made with this pattern, and bands
with this figure, scalloped on both
edges, make very effective trimmings.
It is easy to draw these for ones self
and even to add the sprays Of eyelet
leaves that are often used with them.
For dainty yokes, especially for chill
dren's garments, one of the finest
things Is rows OF hemstitching on
sheer lawn or linen. half an inch or
so apart, with feather-stitching in the
space between. Featherstitching
without the hemstitching is very dain-
ty. and may be done in circles of an
inch or more In diameter, such as
have been used on some Of the hand
soonest OF the tailored shirt waists.
But plain. solid. handsome effects
are In no way better secured than by
using the braids, especially the mar
rowest Irish. A night-dress trimmed
with this put on with little curls every
inch or so. is very substantial and
good-looking garment This braid also
lends itself to the making Of the
monogram, which is so much used in
marking both mems and women's hab
erdashery. Both the narrow and the
wide Irish bralds are used on mems
and boys nightshirts.
