Gaylord Ssntinel: This is the

Newspaper work that the writer has
dared to tell about a wedding, for
fear of getting licked end does go
with a keen relish. The bridegroom

is not popularand accomplished
leader of society. In fact he doesn't
know as much about itas arabbit.
HE hair is red and the freckles
ON his face crowd each other for
room. In the dusk it is hard to
distinguish him from telephone
pole. He has never considered
that the future looked bright or
promising. 1t has always kept
him too busy paying his bills to
have any dreams about future
greatness.
He lie just common sort OF
fellow and claims distinction only
in that he is Kansan from the

Coal Formation,

Coal, both hard and soft, is alter
ed and hardened vegetable matter,
formed out of the remains of an
cient plants. Roughly speaking,
coal consists of from 80 to 95 per
cent carbon mixed with small pro-
portion of various mineral sub
stances, which remain as ash when
coal is burned. In addition to these
constituents coal contains, locked
up within itself, a certain amount OF
gas, varying in quantity according
to the kind of coal, the anthracite
containing more and the bitumi-
nous less gas.
