While the people are reaiing of
the magnificent cash donation
made by the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission, a few thoughts
ought to be given to Manager
Frank A. Wilmot, and Special
Agent George A. campsey. These
gentlemen came to Fairmont on
Thursday, December IL, and went
at once to Monongahto see what
was the extent Of the great disas.
ter. After looking over the
ground a while MIR. Wilmot decid-
ed to go to the Fairmont Coal
Company Offices at Monongah and
make known his mission. Before
going, however, he met Col. A.
Howard. Fleming, Of. Fairmont,
whom he knew personally and
Mr.. Fleming went with-him to the
office and gave him an introduc-
ton to General Manager Lee L.
Malone. Mr.. Malone at once
placed the records of the company
relative to the census of miner3
being taken at Mr.. Wilmot's dis
posal and after verifying the news
paper reports he hunted Mayor
Moore TO take some active steps
for relief work. Mr. Wilmot found
Mayor Moore surrounded by a
crowd of about fifty people en-.
gagged in relief work, but he
gave Mr.. Wilmot a hearing
and very kindly consented to
to do whatever was thought best
in the matter of organizing the
committees. The committees were
later consolidated and reorganiEed
rs mentioned elsewhere. Mr..
Wilmot returned to Pittsburg,
leaving Mr.. Campsey here. He
remained in Fairmont until this
morning, he as well as the local
committee being kept in con-
slant touch with headquarters at
Pittsburg through the kindness of
the Bell Telephone Company
which generously donated the
free use of its lines. When MIR.
Campsey reached Pittsburg today
he made report to the Commission
through Mr.. Wilmot and shortly
before five o'clock this evening
the glad news was telephoned to
do whatever was thought best
Fairmont that $4,000 in cash
would be given for the relief OF
the Monongah widows and or.
phans. All will agree that this
is a very handsome Christmas gift.

RIa Rlrds on Small wInas.

In the attempt to discover some
universal law of bird flight. scientists
have disclosed concerning a number
of species a most puzzling paradox,
perhaps the most mysterious of the
enigmas that the subject presents.
says writer In Everybodys Maya
zine. 1t is that In number of birds
and insects the size of the wings de
creases in proportion to the increase
in size of the body OF the flying crea-
ture. The Australian crane, for in
stance. weighs over 300 times more
than the sparrow, but in proportion
has only one-seyenth the wing area
OF the smaller bird. This curious fact
is equally striking II we compare birds
with insects. If the gnat were In.
creased in size until 1t was as large as
the Australian crane and If the wings
of the insect were enlarged to main
tain the proportion they now bear to
its body, they would be about $50
times larger than the cranes. 1t re
quires 1862 square feet Of wing area
per pound to float the bank-swallow,
but TO sustain the tawny vulture,
monster bird in comparison. requires
only .6S of square foot of wing sur.
face per pound Of body. The albatross,
weighing is pounds, has spread of
wing of II feet and inches, while the
trumpeter swan, weighing 2S pounds,
has spread Of wing of only eight
feet The stork weighs eight times
more than the pigeon, but in proper.
tion has only half as much wing sur
face.

The Simple Life.

Wellington was one of the earliest
opponents Of the simple life. His
sleeping chamber was plainness and
simplicity itself He always slept
on a small campbell, was ever temper
ate and careless in his diet, and fire.
quently stated that he believed his
good health was due to the three
wears he spent under canvas in India.
when he ate little but rice and drank
scarcely any wine, says the New York
Weekly He continued to eat rice to
the day of his death. He ate it with
meat and almost with everything, and
his intimate friends took care always
to place a dish of rice on the table
when he dined with them. He scarce
ly knew one wine from another. and
could not discern bad butter from
good. His indifference in the matter
OF food was proverbial, contrast to
the present day, when diet forms one
OF the principal subjects of converse
tons.

Theodore Shonts reaches up into
some mysterious store of universal in
formation and, having grabbed off
handful of more or less canned wis.
dom, lays down a few qualities that a
man should have before a girl should
think of marrying him, says Chicago
News. Briefly, the description of the
only man fitted for wedlock is this.
He should be perfect mentally, NOR
ally and physically and also be some
pumpkin financially. Mr. Shonts may
be right but as there are only few
for that kind of man would first take

ity of the girls will have to accept hus-
bands with a few flaws or go single
OF course the girl who was waiting
TO rthat kind of man would first take
the trouble to be perfect herself but
that might be a simple matter for
her Even then she might be happy
with man having imperfections pro
vided she was too polite to notice
them. The sensible girl figures 1t out
that the best she can get is the aver.
age man and makes up her mind to
be happy with him if he will let
her.
