LIVING
MINERS
RESCUED

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 2o.-The gamut
from deepest despair to an hysteria Of
hope was run today. when twenty
miners, entombed in the st. Paul mine
for a week, almost to the hour, were
brought 70 the surface alive.
The story Of their sufferings and the
heroism Of their resourceful leaders, is
one Of the most thrilling in all the
blackest history Of mining disasters.
At o'clock this afternoon the men
were reached after wall Of debris
had been broken down. At first they
were supposed to be dead, but one Of
them raised his hand, and the rest
were found to be breathing. The liy-
ing men were at once brought to the
hoisting shaft and stimulants were adj
ministered. One of the men, after be-
ing brought to the sunlight, after sew
en- days entombment, was only able
to mutter incoherently. His face was
black from the smoke and slightly
scorched
The discovery OF the men was al
most accidental. They had been drink.
ing seepage, and were pounding on the
wall in order to make the water drip
down. The noise OF the pounding was
heard by the rescuers and the work Of
reaching them was begun. It was dis
covered that The men, after eating up
all the food in their dinner pals, had
subsisted, mostly, on bark torn off the
pine posts which were used to support
the mjne walls.
There are other resourceful lead
ers among the missing, and they, like
Waite, Clelland and others, may have
led their men to comparative safety"

WILL PRESENT PETITION.

Col. S. V. Pickens has secured
many signatures to the following
petition, which will be presented
to the county commissioners at
their next meeting, on Monday:
Your petitioners, citizens
and tax payers of the county,
respectfully ask your honorable
body to levy no more taxes for
the purpose of creating sinking
fund for the payment of the A.
and S. R. R. bonds. and to stay,
by an order Of your board, the
collection of any tax now levied
for said purpose, for the reason,
first, that such levy and collec-
ton is contrary to and without
authority of law. End, that if
your board has any discretion it
is bad policy to levy and collect
any such tax"
In 1895 the bonds were funded.
They amount to $4,000. The
interest is payable annually.
None of the bonds were to be
paid inside of 80 years. The
county commissioners have been
collecting various amounts. each
year for the purpose of paying
off the bonds when due. Accord
ing to records in registrars office
there is $14, $685. &c now in the
fund, representing amounts COL
lected since 1895.
1t is claimed by the petitioners
that sufficient money has been
collected and paid in, with the
interest, to meet entire obliga-
ton by time bonds are due, and
that no further levy should be
made and that no levy can be
made, lawfully after 1905. Ten
years from date of bond.

TALKING.

Milton complained of his wife that
she did not talk to him enough.
Three hundred years have wrought a
change. In these days men usually
complain that women talk too much.
When Mathew Arnold visited US an
American woman with more zeal than
discretion asked him:
"Mr. Arnold will you tell me what
is the most novel impression you have
received in the United States:''
Certainly, madam" he replied
with perfect English gravity. The
women do all the talking
So we improve upon Mrs. Milton
and her silence, if it is an improve
ment.
But if Mrs. Milton was amusing
enough to please her lord and master,
it may be doubted whether Milton
himself was model for young hus-
bands. Wordsworth wrote ofMilton
Thy soul has accepted the interpre-
tation of the earlier poet by the later
one. Now apartness'' is not high
ly domestic virtue" Most wives
want husbands that know how to live
with them, rather than apart from
them. Furthermore, it does not APP
pear that the other line of Words
worth's praise is well justified by the
facts. IfMilton's heart the lowli-
est duties on himself did lay he
probably sought those duties in the
Office of the Latin secretary rather
than in his own household. Poets
are likely to be preoccupied at home.
We need not caution the girls OF
the twentieth century against marry
ing poets so scarce have they become.
But if one should appear and select
wife from the daughters of America,
she will not make Mrs, Millions mis-,
take of talking too little. There are
some women who do not chatter al
the time, but they are so few and fal
between that to meet one is like en-,
countering refreshing shower after
long hot day.

The Sicily isles, five in all, lie
ont in the Atlantic forty miles off
the Cornish coast. The develop
ment of their flower trade has
changed them from poverty strick-
en- spots into islands of the blessed.
Not many years ago the inhabitants
eked out a precarious and scanty
living by potato culture, but one
day man of wise forethought
named Trevelick came to the con-
clusion that flowers would bring a
richer harvest. He could see them
growing riotously in the little gar
dens, and he collected few bulbs
here and few there until he had
enough to start business with, and
the first consignment he sent to
Covent gardens brought prices that
are now spoken of with something
like reverence. With the passing
of the years flower culture has set
tied into a well organized trade,
providing occupation for everybody
who wants to work on the islands
