Man With tn. Monkey Wrench

There is somebody else besides the man
Who sits at the steering wheel
And sends along on its wild career
The merry and mad mobile.
When the car is stopped with broken
spring
Or skids in a ditch to stay
oh, then the man with the monkey
wrench
Is the hero who saves the day!
The chauffeur looks at the cheering crowd
With calm and a naughty face,
And away he flies like shooting star
In the dust of the whirwind race.
But tire may burst or cylinder crack,
And he goes to sit on the bench.
While the man of the hour, the man Of
power,

PRICE OF COAL.
Statement Issued of Existing Agree
 ment With the Miners.

Regarding the rumors that the price of coal is liable to go up on the first of June the following statement has been issued in New York:
 ''As the existing agreement with the miners remains in force until April l, 1909, no consideration has been given to the terms or condi- tions of a new one, nor has an ad- vance in the price of coal been con- templated, notwithstanding that the cost of mining has greatly increased since 1903, when the present wage arrangement went into effect. This increase is due to number of causes, among them being the exhaustion of the more accessible and richer veins, the increased cost of materials, mo- tably timber; the installation of cleo tric haulage and, as mining gets deeper and more difficult, the provi- sion of more expensive safety de- vices.
 Another report has been persist ently circulated to the effect that plans are under way looking to the distribution of coal direct to retail consumers. This rumor is without foundation in truth, as the mining interests have no desire to extend tho field of their activity beyond the min ing and manufacture of coal and its delivery in the wholesale markets where it may be needed.

GREAT FLOODS IN TEXAS.
Water at Dallas Passes Record Made
 Forty two Years Ago.

 Forty-two Years Ago.
 Dallas, Tex, May 26.-Four lives lost, more than $1,000,000 worth of property destroyed, 4,000 persons homeless and telegraph and telephone wires west and southwest put out of commission are the results of an overflow of Trin- lty river. The river passed the record of fifty-two feet made in 1866. when business houses standing in what is now poor residence quarter of Dal- las were swamped. That same part of the city is under several feet of water, and thousands have lost their house. hold effects, while the residence quar- ter of North Dallas is cut off from the business part of the city so far as street car lines are concerned. Only one line is operating to part of North Dallas.
 The waterworks plant is out of com mission, and the light plant is inun- dated Funds were raised for the re- lief of the homeless.
 Two companies of infantry and one of artillery patrolled the streets of Dal- las under the direction of the police, and no one was permitted to go on the streets without permits.
 This was made necessary by the crippling of the waterworks and to prevent incendiary fires. All objec- tionable characters were given until sundown to leave the city, and many of these had to walk out.
 Pressed on the north by the weight of debris, the trestling west of the steel bridge of the Texas and Pacific railroad over Trinity river gave way, and ten men were thrown into the wa ter in full view of 10000 spectators. Seven of these men were rescued at great hazard.
 Conditions as bad or worse prevailed at Fort Worth, between which and Dallas the electric line service was abandoned. The list of dead at Fort Worth and North Fort Worth is seven, while 5000 are homeless. Mayor Hart issued a proclamation asking for local aid, and food and clothing were dis pensed. Conditions at many other places are serious.
