1t has cost about sl0,000,000 to en-
able the Moffat road to penetrate the
coal fields. Col. d. C. Dodge, who is
constructing the line now approaching

happy over the starting of the new
coal business. He claims this coal to
be unexcelled in the West and practi-
cally inexhaustible in quantity.

Conquer your moods; don't let your
moods conquer you. People who give
way to moods never amount to much.
because they are never masters of
themselves. They never know in the
morning whether they are going to do
a good days work or not, whether
they are going to be a cheering or a
depressing influence on the people
around them. If they feel like being
good-tempered, they will be; IL they
feel like Swapping" at every body, they
will snap. People who suffer from
moods" should be careful about their
habits, They should be regular about
meals, sleep. exercise and work. The
condition of the health has much to do
with moods, and there is nothing that
contributes so much to health as abb
soiute regularity.

Once in a while some woman with
abnormal courage makes a feeble pro-
test against an unwelcome fashion.
but she is always promptly suppressed,
as she ought to be, of course. While
the model gowns were being exhibited
at the dressmakers' convention in
New York, one little gray-haired wo-
man was moved to say: Il don't be-
lieve my customers will like going
without petticoats." Il can't help
what people will like" said the boss
dressmaker, decisively, Il bring over
what's newt" And the little gray
haired woman in the faded bonnet
sighed and settled back, and said no
more.
