and every little girl was expected to
tell Of some incident In her recent ex-
perience. In the class there was one
bashful little girl who finally was
induced to tell of an experience she
had when the family were out riding:
"We were riding along. having a nice
time" she said. when we saw another
horse and buggy coming very fast
And pretty soon the buggy ran into
something and was upset. and all the
people were thrown out. Then papa
said: Good enough for them. ! never
liked those people very well anyhow "

DISCOVERY OF COAL.
Mentioned by Jesuit In 1879 ard
Mined First In 174o.

Mentioned by . Jesuit In 1879 ard
Mined First In 174o.
So far as known the first mention of
the occurrence Of coal In the United
States is contained In the journal Of
Father He1nepin, II Jesuit missionary,
who in 1919 recorded cole mine" on
Illinois river near the present city OF
Ottawa, III
Coal was first mined In the Rich
mond basin. Virginia. about seventy
years after Father Hcnnepin's discov-
cry i'm Illinois, but the first records of
production from the Virginia mines
were for the year 1922, when, accord
ing to one authority, $4,000 tons were
mined.
Ohio probably ranks second in prior
ity Of production, as coal was discov-
cred there in 1855, but the records Of
production date back only to 1893.
The mining of anthracite in Pennsyl-
vania began about 1870, and 1t is said
that fifty-fve tons were shipped to Co
lumbia, Pa, in 1907. Reports Of the
anthracite coal trade are usually begun
with the year 1870. when 365 tons. one
for each day Of the year, were shipped
to Philadelphia from the Lehigh re-
gion. Before this. however, In 1914, a
shipment Of twenty-five tons was made
from Carbondale. also to Philadelphia
1t is probable that the actual produc-
ton prior to 1920 was between $500
and 1900 tons. ns.-Washington Star.

One That Cast . Reflection on King
George ~.
One OF the last stopping places Of the
London and Weymouth coach was at
a little Dorset village, whose principal
hostelry was known as the ASS Head.
So good were the refreshments. so
obliging the host and so reasonable the
charges that the Inn did thriving
trade and was well spoken Of through
out the district. In one Of George Ills
visits to Weymouth the royal party
stayed at this inn and had lunch. This
was very gratifying to the loyal host.
who Immediately took down his orig
inal signboard and erected a full length
painting of the king In It's place.
Hcnceforth the inn should be known
as the Royal George. The proprietor
of the rival bo~telry IN the village pur-
chased the ASS Head sign for a few
shillings and had II placed over the
door Of his house. Now. II so hap
pcned that the coachman and guard
of the Weymouth coach had been
changed on the day this alteration Of
the signboards took place. and they
were both strangers TO the district.
but their instructions bad been to stop
at the ASS Head and, seeing the sign
on the rival house. they pulled up
there. This much annoyed the orig
inah owner who. foreseeing that his
pocket might suffer for his loyalty.
Immediately had nailed to the bottom
of the painting of King George a
board with these words in large let
