DISCOVERY OF COAL.
Mentioned by Jesuit In 1879 and
Mined First In 1749.

-
Mentioned by a Jesuit In 1879 and
Mined First In 174e.
So far as known the first mention Of
the occurrence of coal in the United
States is contained in the journal Of
Father Hennepin, Jesuit missionary,
who in 1879 recorded "cole mine" on
Illinois river near the present city Of
Ottawa, Ill.
Coal was first mined in the Rich
mond basin, Virginia, about seventy
years after Father Hennepin's discov-
cry in Illinois, but the first records Of
production from the Virginia mines
We're 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 1888.
The mining Of anthracite in Pennsyl-
,vania began about 1890, and it is said
that fifty-five tons were shipped to Co
lumbia. Pa, in 1907. Reports Of the
anthracite coal trade are usually begun
with the year 1920. 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 Carbonate, also to Philadelphia.
1t is probable that the actual produc-
ton prior to 1920 was between $500
and 5000 tons Washington Star.

Why Boys Play Hockey.

A child plays truant either because
the school has too little interest for
him or else because the parent cannot
properly control him. Probably In
most cases both circumstances affect
his conduct. If the subjects taught
and the teachers themselves were in
all respects what they should be and
if the parents had full control of their
children, there would be little heard of
truancy or its effects. There are three
causes Of truancy. therefore. which de-
serve attentions narrow curriculum
which fails to meet the needs or in
terests of all the pupils; inefficient
teachers who by reason Of lack Of
skill, tact and sympathy fail to. reach
some of the pupils: weak or Indifferent
parents who fail in their duty of keep
ing their children in school, hari-

JAPANESE STRATEGY.
Getting Rations Into Korea Before In
vading That Country.

Getting Rations Into Korea Before In
vading That Country.
When the celebrated Japanese soldier
Hideyoshi was making preparations
for his invasion of Korea he was ap-
preached one day by the veteran Asana
Nagamasa, who engaged him in the
following colloquy. 1t is recorded in
Walter Deming's New Life Of Togo
toni Hideyoshi:"
Nagamasa-What commissiariat ar
rangements had better be made?
Hideyo shi-Well, you had better get
ready 100000 koku of rice.
N.-What is to be done with the rice
after it is ready?
H.-Use every transport that is to be
had and send it over to Fusan.
Natter landing it, how are we to
protect it?
H.-Don't protect it; let it fare as it
will.
N.-1f we do that the Koreans will
capture it ALL
H.-Well, isn't that what we want?
N.-But If we lose our provisions we
shall be in trouble.
HIT is case of 8. 100000 koku. Such
a quantity Of rice is not to be carried
off in hurry, nor can it be consumed
in a short time.
N.-But the Koreans will carry it in
land.
+ H.-f they do that, nothing could
suit us better. To get the enemy to do
your transport service for you for the
amount of rice that can be consumed
on the road is good enough. By adopt.
ing this plan our troops will always
find provisions waiting for them as
they advance.
Il What Hideyoshi predicted actually
did take place, and rice that had been
carried off by the Koreans was repeat
eddy recaptured by the Japanese.

Telling Tales.

The teacher was giving them prac-
ice lesson in the art of conversation.
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:
'sWe were riding along. having 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"

before coming down to business.

''Not intimately at ALL" replied the
astonished physician. 1--WE been call

you know, but that is all"
Possibly that may be urged as an
excuse" said the husband, "but it's
not particularly good one. There are
women with whom you are quite we'll
acquainted, are there not?'
Certainly"
Married women?"
MANY of them
"And still you advise me to tell my
wife that she must do something or

The physician looked at the husband,
and the husband looked at the physi-
clan.
my dear SIR" said the physician at
last, 'it tlatters some men to talk to
them that way, but see you are a
man Of Judgment and sense who pre-
fers the truth to all else. OF course
what I mean is that you ought to sug-

LISTENING.
It's Importance In the Art of Acting on
the Stage.

.
the Stage.
The reason why listening plays a
part of such paramount value on the
stage is that if an actor is not deeply
interested in what is going on in the
mimic world IN which he has been cast
he cannot look for any real interest on
the part of his audience, and the only
way in which he can denote that inter
est is by the intensity with which he
listens to everything that has any bear
ing whatever on his life and actions
and the skill with which he expresses
the feelings bred of what he hears.
Listening is an art that is not prop
erly taught in the schools in which
modern actors are trained. for while
voice culture has the place of high
honor that it deserves in the curricu-
lum of every academy on Broadway,
if you ask either teacher or pupil about
the still more important business of
listening the chances are that you will
receive no reply save a wondering
shake Of the head.

One young woman, indeed. told me
that she had been studying the art of
expressing various emotions by means
of a series of contortions of visage, all
more or less hideous to behold. but that
she had not been taught anything

to listen with a natural interest and

One of the last stopping places OF the

painting of the king in its place.
Hcnceforth the inn should be known
as the Royal George. The proprietor
of the rival hostelry in the village pur-
chased the ASS Head sign for few
shillings and had it placed over the
door of his house. Now. it so hap
pened 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 had been to stop
at the ASS Head. and, seeing the sign

there. This much annoyed the orig

fact, this has occurred during almost
every campaign when there was hard
fight being made on the Democratic
ticket in that county.
Now, we don't say he did this be-
cause he is a coward. Oh, no. The
colonel is doubles one of the bravest
and most courageous men who ever
wore an epaulette, or chased a bottle
of booze down a back alley on Sun
day. No, it wasn't cowardice. The
colonel just can't stand to see a point
ical battle at close range-it makes
him sick
So when the forces began to line up
for the battle, and the colonel saw his
friend Lippman begin to load up his
old long, keen, double-barreled, auto
matte, rapid-fre squirt gun with hot
air, the colonel began to get sick AT
the stomach, bad taste came in his
mouth and his knees got weak. The
accustomed nip of Old Crow afforded
no relief, and as the time for the ap-
preaching battle drew nearer, the
great colonel grew worse and worse.
It was indeed a pathetic scene. The
great old Democratic (?) war horse
who had fought, bled and died upon
countless battlefields, was upon the
verge of a mental and physical col
lapse, trembling like an aspen leaf.
A hurry call was sent in for the ambu-
lance and he was hustled off to sum-
mer resort in the North, where he re-
manned until after the election. Dur
ing his intense agony just before his
departure for the North. the colonel,
unthoughtedly f?) of course, turned
his paper over to a lifelong Rebuilt
can, and was soon basking in the
pleasant summers sun OF popular
Northern resort, happy and carefree
as lark.
This proved so pleasant for the col
onel that he repeated it during other
campaigns, and now he's mad because
somebody has told it on him, and
wants to sue The Journal for libel.
oh, the ingratitude of man, We've
been bosom friend to Colonel Water
UNI; we've tickled his vanity and fed
him taffy ever since we were a beard
less boy, and now to think that he IS
threatening to sue Us for libel
But we've telegraphed his office boy
to oil the wheels in the coloneFs head
and open the safety valve on the gas
tank just beneath his hat, for we are
sure the colonel's got "hot box" in
that part of his hulk, and when it
cools off re believe he will feel better.
