jacksonville, KY, Jan. ga min
lister of this city has just returned
home from Mclean county, where he
has been engaged in a revival, and
he has brought home with him a
specimen of white coal. 1t was OBJ
tanned from a man who lives near
Wrightsburg, and who is to open a
slope mine at an early date. The
coal will be mined for domestic use.
The sample is of a white color and
very light, leaves neither SCOT nor
cinders after burning, and makes red
ashes, resembling those made by a
wood fire.

owingsville, Ky, Jan. 23.-Tom and
Mum Everman, two miles north of
town, have been warnedyno to sell or

were again warned not to move their
tobacco, but the Evermans, we'll arm

started to Mt. Sterling, and they
we're met by a band of armed men
who began firing on them. The Ever
mans and their friends returned the
fire. After the exchange of one hun
dred or more shots their assailants
retreated
The Evermans say they know one o
more of them are wounded. There was
a pool of blood in the road where the
men fired. They also know some of
the members of the mob. The affair
has created great excitement here
The Evermans' wagons, heavily guard
ed, passed through here about day
light this morning.

A BRIER PIPE.
Get One That Is Smooth Inside the
Bowl, Says a Smoker.

Get One That Is Smooth Inside the
Bowl, Says Smoker.
A collegian who prides himself on
the sweetness and color of his brier
wood pipes and pretends to know lot
more about them than any ordinary
smoker spent half an hour in a tobacco
shop making an addition TO his already
large collection.
Some pipes he discarded because Of
the grain in the wood. There was too
much stripe or too much birdseye. be
remarked. When he found one which
suited him he put it aside until he had
gathered three or four which appar-
emily were all right, and then came his
final test to pick out the best of them
all
He held each with the bowl toward
the light, then slowly rubbed his little
! finger inside. Two he discarded. then
repeated the operation with the others
until only one remained out of the dis
card. That one he bought.
want 'em smooth inside he eX-
planned. "a brier pipe roughly fin
ished inside the bowl isn't worth both
ering with. l wouldn't take one for q
gift: wouldn't take the trouble to try to
break it in, for it will never lie any
good. 1t won't cake up right. and it'll
never be nice and sweet.
1--WE got a theory that when the in
side OF the bowl is rough all the little
edges and points of wood char and
burn the first time you smoke it. and a
burnt pipe is no good. That's why
always take a pipe that has a bowl as
smooth on the inside as On the out.
'Then it doesn't char, but cakes UP
evenly and gets good in a little time
Maybe the theory is wrong. but it has
worked out we'll in my own experience
and some of my friends who have tried
it agree with me.''-New York Sun.

ants begin work upon the soft wood

attract them. In a few weeks, less
than a month in the case of the largest
butts, the ants deliver the heartwood

THE PRETZEL.
It's Simple Figure Scheme and Infinite
Possibilities of Variety.

The rretzel is one of the most re-
markabe creations of the human mind
and hand 1t stands almost alone as
an artificial product displaying the
countless varieties of form produced
by nature in the leaves of trees and
blades of grasses. OF the millions
upon millions turned out by the pretzel
bakeries since the inception of the in
dustry it is not probable that any two
were exactly alike.
The general figure scheme of the
pretzel must have been an inspiration
1t would have been impossible for the
human mind to conceive a scheme SO
simple and yet permitting such APP
proach to infinite variation. Because
of the peculiar shape of the pretZel it's
construction is most easily described
by employing sailor mems terms. A
blight is taken in a roll of dough, and
the ends are given a half twist and
brought back upon opposite sides Of
the blight This makes the article
somewhat heart shaped. There can
have been no sentimental reason for
this shape. for there is no product of
art or nature further removed from the
realm Of sentiment than is the pretZel.
The finished article looks as if it had
been vanished and exposed to sand
storm before the varnish dried.
The pretZel is unique as an article of
internal USE 1t cannot be classed as
food or drink 1t is not dessert. nor
is it a medicine. Perhaps it should be
classed as an appetizer-an appetizer
not for food but for drink. and therein
lies its uniqueness, 1t is the great
thirst producer. 1t is the third of a
Sahara done up in Il twist of dough
If any one could invent something that
would quench thirst as effectively as
the pretzel can produce it his fortune
would be made.
The home of the pretZel is Ger
many, where it is called bretZel OF
| pretzel. according to whether it is il
north Germany or south Germany. but
in America it is pretze all the time
whether in North America or SOutl
America. The name is commonly re
garded as being derived from words in
the Latin language meaning bracelet
But Germans are not fond of taking
words from the Latin tongues. Per
haps the pretzel owes it's name to the
fact that it is baked on a fiat. board
| like surface. The German word fOl
board is brett.-Washingto Post

"A COURSE OF OK.
Try 1t as an Antidote For the Ills Of
the Strenuous Life.

In the choice of motor power allow
me to suggest the OK. The horse leans
forward to pull and even helps himself
along by bobbing his head. He jerks a
load out of hard place, by plunging
bodily against the collar, stopping and
lunging again. He strains through a
hard place and then starts suddenly
forward at his release. He works him
self into a lather, and you. if you are
the right kind of person, cannot help
feeling for him and assisting him with
inward stress and strain.
The OK does not bob horn. He sim
ply Journeys, and the load goes along.
When he comes to a tough place his
pasterns do not bend down. he does not
squat to pull, lie does not pinch along
On the toes of, his shoes. he seldom
sweat He does not exert himself at Il
patch Of woven soil and then hurry up
when he is past il. The chain becomes
sitter, and the yoke sits solder to his
neck, and that is all. There is no sign
OF effort. The earth may grit its teeth
and crunch as it swallows the plow. but
the OK stalks on his way With the
share deep or shallow or lifted entirely
and hanging from the axle, whether
he is blowing earth or air. it makes no
difference to him. His most ponderous
task is still himself, and be needs nc
incidentals.
He is out for stroll He does not
allow work to interfere with the even
tenor of his way. His tendons are rig
ged to his outstanding rump bones like
SO much spar and tackle. and he goes
along by interior leverage. Inside his
| old woman hulk is the necessary en-
CINE work. and he will neither go slow
] er for this thing nor faster for that
| There is much about him besides his
disposition that is self contained. He
is the antithesis of the automobile. TX
ride on his back is cure for indiges
ton; to ride behind him is rest fo
the mind. A course Of OK is an antidot,
for the ills of the times.-Charlcs d
Stewart in Atlantic.

WEIGHT of a Lion.

What does lion weigh? Those who
know the look of the king of beasts
best and how small his little body
really is will probably come farthest
from the truth. About 800 to $50
pounds is a usual estimate, but a full
grown lion will tip the scales at no
less than 500 pounds. Five hun
dred and forty pounds is the record for
an African lion His bone is solid and
heavy as ivory. The tiger runs the
lion very close A Bengal tiger killed
by an English officer scaled 500 pounds
tiger this size has, however. con
siderably more muscular strength than
the biggest lion.

In the old days when the Spanish
province of Aragon was proud and
Independent monarchy the people used
when choosing their king the following
singular form of election:

ancient kingdom of Aragon, who are
equal to you, Don Philip. and some
thing more, elect you to be our king
on condition that you preserve to us
our rights and privileges. If in this
you should fail we own you for our
king no longer"
