There is Cheating in all Trades But
Ours-Kegs of Nails Did 1t.
Those 1870 kegs of nails standing
out in front of a hardware store
last Monday recalled an incident
that occurred at Poughkeepsie when
l was a boy, said Samuel M. Shaw,
of the Freeman's Journal, Coopers-
town. Some kegs of nails put a
stop to formidable run on the
Dutchess County Bank, of which
Gen. Walt. Cunningham was the
cashier. Some story started a live
ly run on the bank, which threaten
ed to become more formidable the
next day. The bills were slowly re-
deemed in silver. After the close
of the bank in the afternoon, the
cashier. went to a hardware dealer
on the same block and said: "Mr.
Uhl, wish you would send to the
rear door of the bank this evening
a couple of empty nail kegs. After
l have filled them / will return them
to you. About an hour after the
opening of the bank tomorrow morn
ing l wish you would have them
placed in truck, with ten or twen-
ty kegs of nails and send them to
the bank"
Directions were followed, and the
crowd of anxious bill-holders were
crowded aside to allow of the roll
ing in of the kegs, all labeled
Specie" and two of them bearing
the private mark of the cashier.
He soon came around the counter
with one of his clerks, and with a
hatchet removed the heads of these
two particular kegs, filled with
halves and quarters-as far down
as the crowd could see.
The desired effect took place-no
one cared to wait and see all that
silver out, and gradually the crowd
left with restored confidence.

Put Your Coal in Now; Don't Delay.

Put Your Coal In Now; Don't Delay.
The enormous recovery in manu-
featuring, the opening up of factory
after factory, which was closed, or
partially closed during the business
depression, has not had the same
effect upon the anthracite coal in
dustry that has been evidenced in
other branches of commerce, and
during the coming winter there is
liable to be an extreme shortage of
domestic anthracite coal.
All over the country in the an
thracite sales territory general busi-
ness has been recovering by leaps
and bounds until to-day it is almost,
if not quite, up to the prosperous
times of 1905. The steel industry s
figures show that practically 100
per cent. of the furnaces is now in
operation; the unemployed during
the panic are now fully employed,
and 1t is more or less difficult in all
lines to find capable labor. Upon
again getting employment, the ar
tisan, mechanic and tradesman nat
uarlly first devoted his earnings to
the settlement of his grocery, cloth
ing, house rent and other similar
obligations, and this process is still
going on, the result being that a
great number of men who are now
employed, but who were out of en-
ployment year ago have more than
used up their savings, are from one
to two and one-half months back in
their purchases of their winter coal
supply.
With the first extreme cold snap,
when it becomes an absolute neces-
sity to light the fires and warm the
house, there will be such deluge
of orders for anthracite coal that
the coal companies will not be able
to meet the demand. To-day all
lines of business activity have re-
covered, except the anthracite in
dustry, whose breakers are still
running at from 40 to SO per cent.
of the normal output at this season
of the year.
1t is easily seen from the above
that unless the distribution of an
thracite coal for the coming winter
begins atonce so that the breakers
can be fully operated, there will
surely be great shortage.
The difficulty of the situation will
also be increased greatly by a car
shortage. The recovery of business
in all lines has been so great that
the entire available car equipment
of the railroads of the country will
shortly be in use, and when the de-
mand for anthracite coal comes,
there will be no cars in which to
move it. Without doubt, this con-
dition, will bring about extreme
hardship and more or less suffering
in many communities, and it is to
be hoped that the retail coal dealers
will use every known effort to get
their patrons to at once purchase
their winter supply of coal.
Over 100000 less tons of do
mestic anthracite coal have been
shipped from the breakers to the end
of September, 1909, and without
doubt 100000 or 100000 less
tons have gotten into the bins Of
consumers than had been placed at
this time last year.

The Development of the West.

Five years ago it was freely pre-
dicted that land values had reached
their height, but they are twenty
to forty per cent. higher now than
then. This has led to the division
of farms. The families of the first
comers are grown. The second gen.
Grafton has come to the fore, and is
taking part in the business of the
communities. They have grown up
with the country and know what it
can produce, and just how valuable
it is for the purpose of production
and for a home.
Here and there is one who declares
that the expansion of prices and in
coming of immigration is beyond
the limits of business safety. 1t is
pointed out that land is selling in
possibility of paying interest from
the products of the fields. But there
are other things that make land
valuable and desirable besides wheat
and corn. Conveniences of life,
health, and neighborliness add to the
value of the farm. When the buyer
comes to even newer lands he finds
schools established, rural telephone
lines, and free rural delivery. He
discovers that churches are many,
and social organizations of a pleas
ant sort numerous. In short, he
finds that the communities out on
the high plans are not very different
from those in the Ohio valley, ex-
cept that there are some vacation
delights impossible unless a five
hundred mile journey is taken. For
the lake and the river he must find
compensation in the sunshine and
the prairies, with the probability that
he will make a larger income, pro-
portionately on his capital than he
could have done farther east.-Chas.
M. Harger, in the October Advocate.

Erie Printing Plant May Go to De-

According to the latest rumors
there is a possibility that Susque-
hanna may lose the printing estab-
lishment of the Erie.
Last week Superintendent John
H. Studer, of the Erie printery
there, accompanied by Superintend-
ent Burr, of the Erie stores depart
ment, of New York, went to Deposit
and conferred with C. e. Vail in re-
gard to purchasing the former Out
ing plant. 1t is understood that
they were favorably impressed with
the location.
1t is stated that surveyors will be
sent to Deposit to survey a feasible
route for a switch to the plant Of
fetal confirmation of the rumor
could not be obtained.

First Victim of 1909 Football.

Robert Millington, the football
player of the local high school
eleven, of Pottsville, who was in
jured in game at Shamokin on
Saturday with the high school team
of that place, died Friday afternoon
at the Pottsville hospital as result
of his injuries.
1t was found that the boy had been
threatened with an attack of appen-

aggravated this condition and also
resulted in the rupture of the in

Prevention of WASTE.

Ninety-seven per cent. of all the
electricity goes to waste now, says
Thomas A. Edison. But it will not
be long before somebody discovers
how to prevent this wastage.
There are," he declares, 1000
or 10000 earnest men all over the
world working diligently on this
and the myriad other problems that
are baking the development of the
science. l should not be surprised
any day to learn that one of this
great host of workers had solved
the riddle of waste" And then the
electrical wizards goes on thus:
when it comes it will appear a
simple little thing. Maybe in bulk
it will be no larger than a tiny pin.
But it will work wonders. 1t will
reduce the cost so materially that
our cities will be more brilliantly
lighted everywhere and the cost to
consumers will be more than cut in
two. l hope that may come about
soon. We must devise some means
of conservation of the tremendous,
almost incalculable energy that
daily goes to waste through our
present ignorance and the ineffi-
cheney of our machinery"

the Use Of Little Folks.
Little folks sometimes have aches
that might be dissipated by the ap-
plication of hot water bag, but not
all little folks would lie quiet un-
der a water bag of the old-fashioned
sort, or even under a bag with a
pretty cover, which would still be
simply like little pillow, so there
are now made hot water bags in the
shape of dolls, which it is supposed
the little folks will cling to.
These doll finished hot water bags
are made up some in imitation of
girl dolls, some as boy dolls, and
they come in a number of sizes and
variously costumed, in Mother Hub
bards, rompers and SO on, and they
look in every way Just like dolls;
but the body is hot water bag.

By James J. Corbett.

A lot of people seem to have gath cred the idea that am going to att tempt to teach Jeffries how to fight That is not true. I am going to train Jeffries with but two ends in view. I intend to try to speed him up and bring back something of his old-time endurance. Jeffries knows how to fight in his own way. and if I were to attempt to outline for him his mode of attacking the colored fellow I might bring about his defeat. He will have to do his own fighting when he gets into the ring. I shall do all can to get him right before that bell rings to start the first round.
 I never have been successful at pick ing winners of fights, and therefore I don't want to select Jeff. I should dislike very much to put hoodoo on him. I think. however he Is going to win; but. mind you, I am not making a prediction.
 Some people think that I hold John son cheaply. Such is not the case. He is a great fighter. with cleverness. a good head and something of a punch.

 Close on Fitz's heels follows Yu Bum. char pion heavyweight of China. Bum earned his title by getting a de- cislon over himself in a shadow box ing contest. He is the only native heavyweight in the country.
 THE FIGHT IN DETAIL.
 AS the bell rings the men step to the center of the ring and fall down. Bum is the Frst to rise. Fftz is counted out in the excitement But the referee discovers that F'itz was unable to get up because Bum was standing on his beard. An internission of three hours is called. during which the sports in dulge in rice and chop suey. Then the gong sounds the opening of the second round.
 Fitz staggers gameiy to the center of the ring. A trace of the Fitzsim- mons of old can he seen on the back of his neck. where Fate had been kind enough to leave one freckle. He feints and ducks and sidesters with the a~ii- ity of a shoeiace. The crowd is with him to a man. All six of them cheer madly. Suddenly Bum swings wildly for the knee. The draught catches F1tz on the nose and puts him down for the full count. The referee slowly tolls off the fatal ten

Interest Aroused in . New Legal Phase of
 Selling Ball PIay,rs

Wilkesbarre. Penn. Dec. 29.-It is reported in baseball circles here today that President Farrell Of the New York State League. who is also secretary of the National Association of Baseball Clubs. has advised the management of the Wilkesbarre Club not to proceed with the court case in which resist ance Is made to the payment of s200 to Manager McGeehan of the Allen town Club for Pitcher Peloquin on the ground that 1t Is against the Thir- teenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to buy and sell ball players. Manager Clyrner of the local club raised the issue. but in an interview yesterday he claims that President Farrell and Garry Hermann of Cincinnati misinterpret his mean ing. He declares that it Is not slav- cry to buy and sell ball players but that no manager has a right to peddle a player about the country and sell him IS though he was his individual property. Clymer claims that is what Manager McGeehan did.

 Prospective Deals

Cincinnati. Dec. 29.-That a deal is pending between the Cincinnati and Brooklyn Clubs, but that it cannot be announced for 9 few days yet, is the gist of a statement given to the press here last evening by Manager Grif- Of the Reds, but it surely will not include Player Lumley of the Super las squad Griffith says that when he was In New York President Ebbets came to him with a proposition to buy outright the general infield sub- stitute of the Reds This, however, could not be done.
 Of all the supposed trades that are ripped off in the dispatches most .ev- cry day, Manager Griffith is mention ed. The managers are aware of the fact that the "Old Fox last year de- veloped a team of youngsters that were the goods, and now wants to offer some of their veterans in trade It is the opinion of the experts that within few years Griffith will have pennant winning team. Though most of his men have been mentioned in trades, the home of Tommy Dow ney of this city, short stop on the Rer4s, is yet to be heard. Griffith knows that he has the making of a conner in Tommy, absolutely refusing to consider his name in any trade. This will be welcome news to the To- cal fans. as Downey will be given a better chance to show his ability with Cincinnati than he could with any other National League club.

CORBETT NOT TO TRAIN
 BUT TO ADVISE JEFF
COnquerOr of John L. Sullivan Sheds Light
 on MOOted Points.

He wants his opponents to come to him. Despite this fact. I believe 1t is up to Jeff to fight an aggressive bat tie when he meets him. and I think he will.
 When Jeff fought his first fights he played a waiting game and let the other fellows come to him, but after he had whipped all the best heavy weights he started to be aggressive. There has been some question raised about his gameness. I am not saying that he is yellow. but if he is. an az gressive fight will take all of the courage out of him. Jeff Is a good ring general. and he will know what to do in the fiEht. fo- he Is a cool head in action. That smile in all his fights must not be taken for contempt. It means that he Is hurt and he is cov- ering it up with his golden grim
 If Jeff is right. and I think he is go- ing to be. the longer the fight goes the better for him. Every round will in crease his chances. If he Is right he will be able to go forty-five rounds easier than Johnson. but the battle will end long before the limit. I don't expect to see more than thirty rounds.
