1.-THE Bread Was Bully"
From the Bookman.

Once John Muir, author and ranch
man, was dining with a friend. They
sat down and Muir began to tell a
story. The waiter came around sew
nothing was ordered. Muir talked and
talked, and in between he would reach
over and break off a piece of bread
from a French loaf on the table. This
he did a good many times. The story
reminded him of another. and so HI
talked and ate bread, until his COM
panion broke in with:
We'll, what shall I order for you,
Mr.. MUIR"
Order" he repeated in his abstrac-
ton.
Yes, order--to eat"
He looked over at the last little re-
naming piece of bread on the plate
said, as if waking from a dream:
Eat? Why, I've had all / want
that bread was bully"

The Ohio-Mississippi coal trade,
which persists today, is one of the
greatest single movements of cargo in
the world. From Pittsburg to New Or
leans is 1000 miles, all downhill. Coal
in 1,000-ton barges is RATED into fleets
and towed down this distance by pow
erful steamboats,, at a cost of less than
75 cents a ton, against a railroad rate
of about $4.59-from Pittsburg to Mem
phis for 43 cents. against a rail rate Of
1910. Millions Of tons of coal have gone
this way and always will go this way,
because the boats have only to drift.
and those that come back, mostly ermp-
~. are not hard to shove upstream.

A Treacherous Memory.

h Bohemian: Little ~5-year-old Ear-
o1d's mother was OF the new school and
thought that baby days were for play
and not the coming of catechisms. One
day when Harold came to her with the
question, WHO made me?" she an
swered Cod and as the child was
apparently satisfied without any ex-
PLANTATION as to who God was. the con-
versation dropped there.
Shortly after a reverend, distinctly Of
the old school, called on the family, M
after the manner. OF his kind began to
question h son and heir as to the do
ings of Adam and Eve, Solomon and
sundry of his sort, and was sadly
shocked to find that he knew far more
about Mother Goose than sacred his
tory.
At each unansWerable question the
child's self-respect sank to lower depths
and he was on the verge of tears be-
u of this revelation of his abysmal
Ignorance when, in extremity, the rev.
erend gentleman exclaimed: AT least,
my poor child. you can tell me who
made you?"
Yes, I can" the %youngster blurted
out, Frightening visibly, "or-or-any-
how, mamma did tell me the name of
the man. but-but I've forgotten it,"

My Kingdom For a Name.

AS everybody in this section of the
world names his place, l have con-
cluded that should have a label for
my uptilted and wedge shaped farm,
but it is harder than naming a baby.
One man suggested Gateway View"
but that is too highfalutin, the name
being bigger than the farm. myself
have thought of number of names,
but can decide on none of them for
keeps. When coming here we intend
ed to raise about 400 chickens, which
finally dwindled to fourteen. In the
fever of my fond dreams of hens /
thought of naming the place Hen.
roost-on-Hudson,'' but as the hens
failed to materialize the name had to
be abandoned. Then another friend
wanted me to raise Swiss goats. He
said there were millions in it. l got
the goat fever also, and as l planned
how my Swiss flock would leap from
crag to crag concluded that l would
name the farm Goats Rest" The
dream, however, went like the other.
and in the end got only two goats of
rather plebeian origin, so that name
was out of it.
The mountain at the back part of my
upturned farm used to be called Bull
HILL" SO the next name selected was
''Bullsfoot." My neighbors objected,
however, on the ground that the noun
tain's name had been Latinized to
Mount Taurus, so that name went
glimmering also. Then gave up in
despair.
If anybody knows of nice name
that is not working, please send it in.
The prize winner will have his name
printed all over the United States,
Canada and Samar and, in addition,
will have the proud consciousness that
be has relieved fellow being from
anguish. AS General Butterield's
place near here is called "Cragside,"
lrving's farm, twenty miles below, is
known as 'Sunnyside," and John Bur-
roughs' wilderness, a little farther up
the river, is denominated "Slabsides,"
these names must be avoided. CON-
petitors can take any other side, how
ever.
