Hey, boss. stop!"
From his seat under a tree the
tramp ran out into the hot white road
and hailed the red car, frantically.

In an(ill-natured tone, as he halted.

tramp.
And he extracted huge nail from
the tire OF the hind wheel and held II

Bone Coal as Fuel.

In the tests conducted at the fuel
testing plant at ST. Louis, Mo-, and
Norfolk, Va, to determine the values
Of different kinds Of fuel for use In
the gas-producer. the United States
geological survey obtained some In
teresting results with bone coal
which is found in West Virginia. AL
though the fuel was found to be of lit
tie value under the steam boiler, 1t
gave good results in the gas-producer,
where it developed brake horse-pow-
err for each 1.65 pounds Of coal con-
sumed in the producer. The Jumps
of coal were eight and ten inches In
diameter. Some coal consisted OF q
high-grade bitumirous coal, others ap-
peared to be simply Jumps of heavy
and dry hard rock. All Of these Jumps
except the largest, burn entirely
through In the producer. There Is no
tendency to clinker or coke. and very
little stocking is required. There was q
high percentage Of about As per cent.
OF ash. With proper crushing and suit
able attention the deposits Of this fuel
will prove to be decidedly valuable for
producer-gas plants.

he CARRIED The GOLDFISH HOME
Or. Rather, He Meant to Do II, but
Fate Was Against Him

When Clerk D. p. Conry of the West
snotei won 4 bowl of goldfish in rattle
he was the produest man in the twin
cities. Re bore his prize triumphant
" into the hotel, and everybody adj
mired the fish. At last someone asked
him what he was going to do with
them
Unfortunately, Mr.. Conry had not
thought of that before. 1t was wet,
rainy night, and the prospect OF carry
ing home bowl of mixed water and
goldfish was not alluring, A thought
struck him.

Fay" he announced, showing the drip
ping globe at his assistant.
"You are not said Mr.. Fay, backing
away Il don't want them
Then you just keep them for me to-
night, suggested Mr.. Conry. I'll be
around first thing in the morning"
But Mr.. Fay wouldn't do that, either,
unless Mr.. Conry would put the fish In
| the safe and take a recipe. This Mr.
| Conry hesitated at because he had
never heard Of keeping goldfish IN .
safe, so he tried to give the fish to
each of the bellboys in turn. but with
out success. Then he tried the bar
tender, the carpenter, the elevator
boys and the engineer. Nobody want
ed goldfish.
Finally, he had to start home with
them. Few persons, however, have
ever attempted the feat of carrying
a large bowl Of goldfish wrapped In
paper, while standing on the platform
Of crowded car. Mr.. Conry was
showed and pushed and jostled And
all the time he was getting wetter and

English Women Are Taller.

That American women are consid-
erably shorter than their English Sis
tiers was the dictum laid down by
ladies' tailor in q lawsuit In London in
which Sydney Lyons sued Canadian
dressmaker for gowns he had supplied.
The Canadian contended that the
dresses were not "of American sixe."
Some experts called to give testimony
declared that models for gowns for
English, French and American women
are the same. but Dressmaker Mckay
Of Toronto averred: THE English

MAN IS
BADLY
INJURED

An unknown man carrying a hand
satehel tied around his neck was pick
ed up on the Lake Shore tracks near
the station in Gary with part of his
foot cut off, with a fractured skull,
and it is thought, injured somewhat
internally. The man was taken to
the Mercy hospital in Jones ambulance
at four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The injured person was riding
freight into the city when within
short distance from the station he
fell from the bumpers. 1t is thought
that he had attempted to jump off from
the moving train. He was picked up
and brought to the station and the
ambulance was sent for at once. It
is not believed that his injuries will
prove fatal.

SOUTHERNE:R
BUYS BRAND
BUILDING
Will FL. Moore of Montgom-
cry, Ala, Pays $4,000
for Gary Property on
Broadway in the First
Subdivision.

One of the largest real estate tran
sactions consummated in Gary for some
time was the sale yesterday of the
Brand building on Broadway, between
Seventh and Eighth avenues, to VIII
H Moore of Montgomery. Ala, who is
one Of the largest real estate dealers in
the south. It Is said that the deal was
made on cash consideration, and that
the amount was close to $4,000.
Mr.. Moore has been looking about the
city for some time with the intention
of purchasing one of the big business
blocks of the city. He has looked at
some of the largest in the city. among
them being the one he purchased. The
purchaser decided that ne did not care
to build In the city. and the purchase of
a building is the only way he could
make a Broadway investment in the
first sub division in any event.
May Make other Investments.
1t is said that Mr.. Moore has con-
siderable money which he intends to
invest in this city beside that which he
put into the Brand building. It is like
ly, however. that this viii be used in
the purchase of real estate rather than
for other business blocks in the city,
which are about the most scare at the
present time in the real estate market
of northern Indiana.
1t is not believed that the present
owner will use the building for his own
use. but has merely purchased it for an
investment and will rent the store, flats
and Offices. At present the store is
leased by the Guy & Claudy Co, who
operate the Club cigar and billiard
store.
Mr.. Moore's agent in the transaction
was George McGinnity.
