The Rev. Mr.. Dozen had not gained
the golden opinions of his congrega-
ton, who were unanimous in assert
ing that he was foolish and conceited.
He considered himself greatly SIAN
dered, and, meeting an old German
friend of his in the street one day,
began to retail his woes, ending up by
saying:

Mr.. Hall, as a representative of the
government, has visited many Of the

Cured in recent years. At Mononga,
where more than 300 men lost their
lives in December, 1907, he found that
the vast majority of the men had died
by slow suffocation long after the ex.

for great distances on their hands
and knees, for the miner knows that
the best air is near the ground.
