COAL AS FUEL.
lt Was In Use as Far Back as the
 Time of King Solomon.

Time of King Solomon.
 The first mention of coal in the an nals of mankind occurs in the Bible, Proverbs xvi. q, as follows: As coals are to burning coals and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindle strife" This was written about l016 B. O., at the time King Solomon came into power. Part of his dominion was Syria, and ancient coal mines are worked in that country today. There are several other references to coal in the Bible, all of later date. Tools and cinders have been found near the Roman wall. indicating that the Brit ons were familiar with the use of coal prior to the Roman invasion in 54 B. c.
 The first actual record of a coal transaction is the receipt for twelve cart loads of coal written by the good abbot of Peterborough. A. D. S52.
 Years before the Christian era coal was in common use in China. Anthra- cite coa, is powdered, mixed with wet clay and rolled into balls. These are dried in the sun, and the poor use this fuel in little hand furnaces precisely as they did centuries ago. Marco Polo speaks of. seeing in 1275 "a kind of black stone in Cathay that is used to burn better than wood" Marco Poio's countrymen refused to believe the travellers tale.
 The earliest historic mention of coal in the United States Is by the French Jesuit missionary father Hennepin. who In. his journal in 1879 speaks of traces of coal appearing on the banks of the Illinois river and makes the site of "cole mine" or the James river, near Richmond. the first mine opened for the market. In 176G anthracite was discovered in the Wyoming valley and sample of the coal sent to Thom- as and William Penn in London.--Car- rington Phelps in Metropolitan Maga- zine p 8. fe

THE WILY COMEDIAN.
His Mixup With Con ,ct, . Legal
 Fec and an Opinion.

There was certain comic opera comedian who made no end of mouey and who scorned anything like osten- tatious recklessness in the spending of 1t. He was almost morbid on the sub ject. in fact, and there were those who said that he went to evening instead of morning service so that he might have the use of the money he dropped into the box little longer. This Is. by way of explaining the grief which once befell him in Cleveland
 Somebody had played an engagement at certain theater and had received a frigid reception, which stage people call frost. The comedian wasn't go- Ing to run any risks. He wouldn't play at the theater unless q certain amount of money was promised him. Tie manager of the theatcr offered q very large percentage of the receipts: but, oh dear, no, the willy comedian wasn't going to be caught by such chaff as that. He Insisted upon lump sum regardless of receipts. The sum was guaranteed. the contract signed The comedian came to town and. stroll. ing IS if by chance into the box o.Tice asked how the house was selling.
 "Oh," said the ticket seller. 'we sold every seat in the house ten days agov'
 The comedians blood boiled.
 ''Woud."' said he to himself. "oL. would that had accepted the percent. age! It would have been double what get now.'
 It was too late. however. to rely on simple woulding to change matters. so he sought the foremost attorney of the town. showed him the contract and ex- pressed his desire to break it and abide by the customary percentage plan. Before the attorney would con sent to express an opinion the queS- ton of fee came up, and the comedian handed him $500 The man at law then took the paper and examined it.
 My dear sir said he. ''that con tract can't possibly be broken. drew 1t up myself

the police believe that Miss Wood
fired the shot at herself and then Will
hanson took the weapon from her
and in endeavoring to fulfill the
agreement between them shot himself.

the tragedy, and that is that both
will recover, and as each declares an

ANGRY. FATHER SHOOTS
DAUGHTERS LOVER.

Albany, Ore.-Because George
Prime, his neighbor, had paid unwel-
come attentions to the daughter of
W. G. NJ. Smith, farmer residing
three miles south of Crabtree, Smith
shot Prime at $50 o'clock this fore
noon. The bullet plowed a furrow in
Primes skull, but he is not believed
to be seriously hurt.
Deputy Sheriff Green went out to
investigate the shooting, but decided
not to arrest Smith until the filing
of a complaint. This may be done
tomorrow, but it is possible that the
case may await the action of the
grand jury without any preliminary
hearing.

is 46 years old, and Prime. who is A
