LINES TO THE COAL MAN.

(From a Vermont coal dealing poet)
Here lies his body, but where Is his soul ?
Has it gone down to the internal hole
Where they burn birthstone instead of
coal
Or has it gone up TO that heavenly spot
Where they don't care whether they have
coal or not2
II isn't any wonder that the poor man
died,
Think how he has talked and think how
he's lied,
While people have begged and plead and
cried
For just bushei of coal
He had no rest by day or by night.
He tried to do what he thought was
right:
He tried to serve all his customers well,
And also answer that telephone bell,
Twas Hello, Central, Hurry up, please
Give me the coal man before I freeze .
Hello, coal man. die / hear you speak
Where is the coal / ordered last week %
tbs Hello. Central. hold the wire;
Give me the coal man; we've no fire.
Hello. coal man: hurry up quick
My wife and baby are both of them sick,
All out of coal: for the love of God
Bring me little, If only hod.''
So the coal man. with a weary sigh
At last was ready and anxious to die:
And now this weighty question arose
As to where the soul of the coal man
goes.
o, coal man; coal man. have you a soul.
Or has it changed to a lump of soft coal

tiers. realizing that on account OF the size

EAST DENVER TURNED DOWN
Baseball Team Asks Too Much
Guarantee to Come
Here TO play.

A letter refusing the offer of the East
Denver High school baseball team for a
game to be played in Salt Lake with the
local High school team, was sent yester-
day by Manager Santschi OF the home ag-
gregation. to Manager Rost of Denver.
Developments now show that the Denver
team is TO play games with High school
mines in the states of Wyoming. Idaho
and Titan and as this would bring IL with
in an hours journey of Salt Lake the re-
fusal is not upon the amount of travelling
expenses, but the sum which Manager
Rost demanded as a guarantee The final
step in the negotiations took place yes
terday when Principal Eaton advised that
the request be refused. This means that
the High school team will be unable to
come into the race for the intermOuntain
championship unless through games with
other teams with which Denver plays.

SOlONS VISIT UTAH LAKE
Will Compare Provo and Salt Lake
Methods of Catching
Suckers.
Especial to The Herald)

Provo. March 1.-THE committee which
went from Provo to meet with the legis-
lative fish and game committee Tuesday
evening report a very satisfactory and,
it is believed, profitable. meeting with
the solons. That it was pleasant and viii
produce pleasant results is indicated by
the fact that the members of the com
mittee and other legislators. whom the
committee may invite, together with
state officers interested in the fish and
game question. were invited by the Pro
vo committee to visit Provo Saturday and
compare the Provo with the Salt Lake
method OF catching suckers. 1t is be-
ieved this will have the effect of gaining
approval for the Provo plan and may re-
suit in seining being permitted in Titan
lake for suckers and carp. SEEMING IS the
only way in which they can be kept
down and the game fish given chance,
and it also opens up an industry in the
state that is not Insignificant, and en-
ables people to buy fish at about one
third of the price paid for imported fish,
and obtain better fish, as there Is con-
siderable deterioration in salt water flsh
shipped from distance.
The visitors will also inspect the bass
Matching grounds at Powell's sloughs,
and gain information regarding the i'm
portance of establishing other Matching
grounds for bass along the like, which,
with the removal of the common fish by
seining. will result in their being replaced
with bass.

in the same class with football, and
President Eliot advises that intercollegi-

also decries the excess of cheering
which characterize present intercollegi-
