twice as many miners employed as
at the present time. At least two
more coal mines will be equipped
and put into commission. Railroad
spurs will have to be constructed
to both mines where tramways will
bring the coal down where the
coal can be loaded upon broad
gage cars which will carry IifIy

is altogether probable that the @.

Where Widows CONNIE suicide.

Old customs die very hard in China.
says writer in the Wide World Mag
azine, and in several parts Of the Ce-
lestial empire it is still considered a
high act Of virtue for woman to COM
NIT suicide after the death Of her hus-
band. According to the law, the pro-
ceeding is actually legal in some prov
inces, and such is the state of public
opinion that in districts where it is
officially prohibited the authorities
rarely interfere. These extraordinary
voluntary sacrifices may frequently be
seen. and l myself saw one take place.
The widow herself, clad in white, the
Chinese mourning color; the gallows
erected for the occasion and the i'm
mense crowd gathered to witness the
grewsome spectacle made a picture

LONG DELAYED PROPOSAL.
A Note In a Bouquet That Was For
Years Unanswered.

Years Unanswered.
One of the longest delayed proposals
on record is related in a French story
Of shy young subaltern who was or
dered away to the wars. Not daring
to speak, he sent nosegay Of yellow
roses to the girl he loved, with a little
note inside begging her if she returned
his love to wear one Of the flowers in
her breast that night at the ball. She
appeared without it, and he went
away broken hearted.
Years afterward, when he was, a
lame old general, he again met his old
love, now a white haired widow. One
day his old sweetheart gently asked
him why he had never married. Mad
am" he answered somewhat sternly.
you ought to know best. If you had
not refused to answer that note in
the bouquet of yellow roses l might
have been a happier man." 1.-THE note
in the bouquet" she repeated, grow
ing pale.
She opened an old cabinet and took
out from drawer a Shriveled bouquet
Of what had been yellow roses, among
whose leaf1ess stalks lurked a scrap O.
paper yellow with age. "See! l never
had your note," she said, holding the
bouquet up. ''If l had would not
have answered it as you fancied."
''Then answer it now" said the gallant
old soldier. And the long delayed
proposal was accepted at last.-Lon-

An Americans Experience In an Eng

An American was journeying through
England and encountered in certain
town a rather pretentieus inn, at
which he ordered turbot, favorite
dish in those parts.
The American had had few days
of dense fog. and his appearance and
manner perhaps showed that he had
become little wheezy in consequence
of the climate. He was indeed forced
to have frequent recourse to his hand
kerchief.
When the turbot was brought the
guest fancied. even before it reached
his plate. that it was no longer fresh.
and an attempt to eat it confirmed that
impression. He called the proprietor,
who at once sent a waiter for fresh
turbot and removed the Objectionable
dish.

innkeeper, ''but we got the idea, sir,

guest was about to help himself to a
