himself with collecting specimens and

neighbors made legal complaint
against him ON account of the dis

A Difficult Art.

Joachim when he was in Hanover.
During the winter there was a great
deal Of skating going on, Of which he
had a good view from his window. 1t

so happy that he thought he would
have a try. Accordingly he strolled
down and was soon pounced upon by
the ice cleaner, who asked him If he

Lucky For Her.

Little Gertie was on a visit to her
three maiden aunts, the sisters OF her
mother. Each of them held distinct
and original views as to how children
should be brought up. Aunt Maria
thought little girls should be seen and
not heard, Aunt Eliza thought they
should be neither heard nor seen, and
Aunt Jane was certain that little girls
should not be at all. These views
they expressed freely to Gertie as
they sat one evening in the drawing
room with their niece. The conversa-
ton, being one sided, however began
to flag, and Gertie sat meditatively
gazing into space.
"Of what are you thinkingY Aunt
Maria asked her sharply.
Il was just thinking what a lucky
thing 1t was that father married the
sister he did" said the little girl
Why was it that Gertie was sent

men, including Frank Burdock, cleo

outright and two others seriously in
jured in two explosions of gas In
Johnson No. / mine, at Priceburg to-
day. The first explosion which oc'

the carelessness of door tender who
by leaving the door open, allowed gas
to accumulate.
One man was injured by this explo-
sion. The second explosion, which re.
suited in the death OF seven men and
injury of another, occurred about 5
o'clock and resulted from ignition of
fire damp which accumulated after
the first explosion. OF eight men who
we're working in the main gangway al
the time of the second explosion only
one escaped.
All the victims we're frightfully
burned. About 1,500 men we're al
work in the mine, but as no account
was kept of those who had come out
before the explosion occurred. IL is i'm

Reference was made recently to a
proposed movement on the part Of
the Three States Lumber company to
expand their business at this point
and word came yesterday from Mem
phis. the company's headquarters
that this movement has been detienit
~ decided upon. The company is one
iof the biggest concerns n the country
controlling practically all OF the cot
tonwood lands in this section OF the
country, with six hundred million feet
of pine lumber in Arkansas and great
cypress forests in Louisiana. 1t has
a dozen big lumber mills to cut Its
timber into boards for the market.
Its purpose Is to concentrate its bust
ness at Cairo, making this the dis
tributing point to all parts OF the
country. The company owns a large
lumber yard here with frontage on
the Ohio river, and 1t will probably
put in facilities for handling is pro-
duct between the river and its yards.
The company has given some con-
sideration to Joppa where the c. &
e. |. is straining every nerve to pro-
cure business. This company makes
it a practice to give all shippers
prompt transfer and car service, and
this is an attraction to shippers
which few can resist. The G. & e. 1.
will send a steamer to Cairo and
take barge of lumber TO Joppa and
has it put into cars on short notice,
never falling to meet any demand for
cars that is made upon it. The result
has been that although Cairo has
several railroads over which shipment
can, be made, and from which cars
Should be available, Joppa has come
into prominence as a vigorous com
petitor to Cairo in the lumber bust
pess, and threatens to deprive Cairo
Of goodly portion of its business in
that line. However, Cairo's other adj
