England.
1T Is estimated that West vlr.
ginia and tho eastern part OF Pean.
sylvania send more than $4,000, 900
tons of coal annually into New Eng
land. Involved in this tremendous
shipment of coal are great May
factors. the most important OF which
Is labor at good wages. We must
all maintain good wages for our
home miners.
Free coal would displace to y
great extent labor In West Virginia;
the prosperity or our towns wouil
be hindered and impaired; our mer-
chants and bankers would feel the
result.
West Virginia now has thr,e
great trunk lines--the Pennsylvania
system makes four--all coal carry.
ing roads. The virginian railroa
just completed is ready to transport
our coal. Now these great railroads
prepared and built for the purpose of
hauling coal. would have their trans
rortation cut down to the extent that
Nova Scotian coal would displace our
coal in New England.
II have been very much alarmed
over the situation and have trie

that confronts them for the last SIX

Western Pennsylvania has broken

DELIGHTFUL little girl of twenty enter a cab with
elderly lady and drive off to the HghcHe Hotel lie
heard her merry laugh and noted the sparkle IN her
brown eyes, with their long, dropping lashes, and re-
marked the smart little figure tastetuly attred IN
neat taormade gown and he felt that he mad struck
game worthy of his arrows.
Master Cupid with that cruel disregard for his
victims feelings CHARACTERISTIC OF HIM, set about
finding male specimen worthy of the female Luck
y he hau not far to go, for hardly had his beauty
departed in her cab than he bumped right up against
the very he wanted.
It was nothing more or less than a tall, manly,
soldier-lke Young fellow who staggered to cab be-
hind porter laden with kit bags, golf clubs fishing
rods etc. with cigar between his lips, and his hat
on one sde while he stroked small mustache and
looked his best. There was self-satisfed expression
of bachelor content his handsome nut-brown race
that pleased Cupid intensely.
The wretched little torment sided up by the porter
and spelled out the name painted on the kit bag-Dud
ley j. Northumberland he struck with the sound
of it, He was certain that would suit Dorothy Pen
elope (his female specimen s name) very we'll
By the side of Dudley j. a little fox terrier,
and it looked if he, too might be uSeful FACTOR
in Cupid s little scheme.
1t was for this that the child had risen so
very early and seated himself on the window sill OF
Miss Dorothy Penelope S bedroom overlooking the sea,
and waited so very patiently for her to get up and
see what he had got for her.
When at length she did step out of bed, and pulled
hack the curtains to let in the warm morning
shine he realized that he had not made mistake when
he had chosen her as his next victim.
At the moment when he heard her move he was
busy putting finishing touch to new arrow, and
as she opened the window he peeped syly in and saw
her standing there clad in the most dainty of wrap
pers Imaginable with her long brown tresses falling
in the widest disorder her shoulders. Cupid is
a good Judge of such subjects, and was very FAVOR
ably impressed with this one
He did not mind little bit when she flung the
easement wide open, and caused him to take few
Yards flight lest he should be knocked off his airy
perch There was sly twinkle in his eye as he re-
seated himself ON his sill and glanced at her, while
she took her fill of the sea air totally Obvious
of the fact that so small member OF the male
sex was close enough to touch her.
She was anxious to see what her first impressions

If health STRENGTH and manly grace, and it so hap
pened that he CHANGED to glance up at the HghcnHe
hotel and espied the pretty little figure looking OUT
of the window with her head turned away from him
Cupid saw it all. His arrow was we'll sharp,
ened and his bow in such good order that he could
not resist pulling the cord and sending the slender
shaft with unerrng aim to the heart of the man be-
fore him. who so shameessy turned his gaze upon the
vision of beauty at the window.
Just then Dorothy Penelope looked his way ana ana
their eyes met With a little scream she blushingy
dashed back into the room in tremor OF eXclteeh''
and Master Cupid laughed again "
If the truth must be told, she peeped slyly pennd
the curtains at Dudley j.. because he was so awtuly
good looking, and one would ever knoW-except
Master Cupid, of course.
Although he could catch further view, the young
man continued to gaze up at the window as he maze
his way to the beach and went to battle.
With what vigor and rashness he swan out to sea;
1t was only from this point of vantage that he could
get view of the top windows OF the Hlghchne hotel'
AS for Master Cupid, he was only very little boy,
"A and therefore, stepped into the room and perched
himself on the end of the bed to watch the beauty do
up her brown coils of hair and put the dalntlest OF
muslin frocks, and to slip on to her two ttle Ieet

in that strange graceful attitude that all beauties
adopt with the shoehOrn.
Then from the depths of huge box she produced
a big hat trimmed with pink roses, and with many
twist and turn and nnumerable gances In the mirror

The effect being considered satisfactory, she trpped
softly downstairs and out into the sunshine, followed

She had taken the precautiOn to bring book out

Dudley J. shook his tawny head and dived deep
down to the bottom of the sea, and came up again

and he too was thankful to be alive. Strange he
should so often regard the seat on the top OF the
cliff.

THINGS MEN MAY WEAR.
New Styles in Clothes Shown at the
 Tailors' Convention.

From the New York Sun.
 New styles for men are on exhibit at the Merchant Tailors' National Exchange, in session here. There is the new Bryn Mawr paddock, three buttons, seamless back, made of diagonal cloth, with yer tical pockets and heavy drapery on the sides. A Reginald von Keller, himself editor of the American Gentleman, wore this coat at the Bryn Mawr horse show and 1t was pronounced tremendous suc- cess. Then there is the new spring and summer dinner coat-the Newport, in dark gray, with ribbed silk facing of 8 little darker shade and velvet collar of the same general color This coat is sup posed to be worn without waisteoat-with aabelt with soft, white pleated shirt and gray tie, hose and gloves.
 MT Won Keller wore an evening dress suit last night that helped matters along considerably. The idea of the innova- tions, he explained, was to give more white and less black to a mans general evening appearance. There was a breast pocket from which the corners of a white handkerchief protruded; the front
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-21

of the coat was cut to show about three quarters of an inch of white waistcoat thus breaking the blackness at that point a white silk fob instead of black helped out at the same point, and white silk hose above the pumps gave another little touch.
 One of the things the style people are going to try to do this year is to add variety to d mans business wear. They are urging a morning coat for business The newest thing in this line is of Ox- ford gray, with trousers to match and with fancy waistcoat. The edges of the coat are trimmed with flat braid. There is new tennis coat too-collar- less and with link cuffs like a shirt This coat is to be worn only for tennis- about the country club. and so on, and never by any account should it be seen on the street. And the roll on flannel trousers this summer will be very deep. But there should be no roll on trousers except they be meant for outing pur- poses.
 A waistcoat in the main exhibit is of brown silk brocaded with red flowers and has rows of red silk stitching around the edges in place of braid. The back is of red silk. A Providence tailor has evolved a dress coat with a seamless front all in one piece, which it is said will make an evening coat as harmless as smoking jacket.
 The widest coat of all Is a black and white plaid from Brockton, Mass. that would cause crowd to collect at Forty second street and Broadway This coat, however is very much the exception. Most of the garments shown in the ex- hibit display much restraint. From their colorings one would gather that grays and grays with an olive cast are to be it the coming summer.
 There are some 250 coats shown by some 75 different concerns, and each coat carries with it pair of trousers and few fancy waistcoats.

Fashion Notes.

From Judge
 Bankers will be best dressed when ad- herring closely to checks.
 Deviation from this rule sometimes re- suits in vogue of stripes among the financlers, which is sometimes not at all suited to the dignity of the calling.
 Dish washers will naturally turn to the popular varieties of wash goods for their working costumes. For dress what could be more appropriate than China silk?
 Thanks for the green hat It opens the way for red-topped shoes, yellow trousers, red waistcoats, and purple coats.
 Hair, cloth should be cut from every barbers wardrobe. Only by using sheer effects in dress can the members of this craft expect to hold their hone.

The Better Part.

From Yorth's Companion. A delightful little story is told of Pros per Merimee, the French author. He was once guest at a royal hunt, when hares, pheasants and other game were driven before the Emperor and his fol- lowers. and the servants picked up the victims of the sport Among all the members of the hunting party Prosper Merimee alone had no trophy to display.
 How does this happen?" asked some one.
 ''Where game is so plentiful the merits of marksman seems to me to lie in hitting nothing" replied Merimee, with grave courtesy, 'so I fired between the birds
