T.vo Lonq Golf Drives.

Two golf players determined to play q
match by moonlight. The antagonists
were in every respect worthy Of each
other, and as the match proceeded for
tune did not appear to incline on either
side. At last they came to long hole,
and to each 1t occurred at the same time
that a critical moment had been reached
and that 1t was necessary to adopt hero
ic measures. They drove off two long
balls, which to the eyes of the ordinary
spectators appeared to vanish into night.
far beyond all human powers OF vision
to follow.
But each of the combatants declared
that he saw perfectly where his ball had
gone, and they walked of with unfalter-
ing steps in the direction of the hole.
When they had gone about 1S0 yards
neither began to show any signs of in
dicating that he had reached the place
where he expected to find his ball. Both
went on with nnhesitating stride. At last
when they got to the putting green, some
hundred yards or go beyond the longest
recorded drive, both balls were found
lying within e clubs length of the hole.

A little runt of boy came shyly for
ward to greet Mrs. Jones when. tired
with her shopping, she sat down on a
stool In the toweling department
Mrs. Jones owned a hotel and was buy

The stripling's eyes bulged.
"Pu have to ask the head of the de-

goods. Please excuse me, madam, for
Just a moment"
He rushed to the senior and eagerly
made inquiry.
Are you sure she wants a whole bolt?"
said the department head. Tell her I'll
be there in a moment and wait on her
myself
The boys face fell. but
What was it? Was 1t something in the
disappointed droop of the young sales
man? Anyway. when the man came for
ward, briskly rubbing his hands. Mrs.
Jones said:
Excuse me; this boy is waiting on
me. If you will give him prices we shall
get along very we'll"
They did get along. And when the
woman's bill was footed up 1t came to
$50. Ninety dollars! wouldn't they stare
when he turned In his little sales book

The sequel?
The woman became a regular customer
of the boy, who was always attentive
and obliging, and brought her friends to

SUZANNE DUMEsNIL.
Behind the cable dispatch printed above
is common story of human life, pathetic
and true.
Every year Oscar Hanmersten goes to
Europe looking for song birds for the
American tours
Last spring he heard Suzanne Dunes
nil. a famous French soprano, and said
to her, L want you. In addition to
buying her release from the Paris man
ager, he offered her big salary to come
to America.
Struggling her shoulders in a charming
manner, Dumesnil said:
Leave my so dear Paris? Nevairel
Why should ! leave my Alphonse, who
loves me; my cat, that adore, and my
good, warm little stove?"
Why indeed,
You see, there are other things in life
besides big American dollars, and Dui
mesnil knew that very well.
And yet
In October, six months later, Suzanne
Dumesnil, soprano, was swaying aud
fences in Hammerstein's opera house in
New York. And the discriminating
could detect in her wonderful voice an
undersone of sadness
All, mel Alphonse had proved false,
the cat was dead, and the fire had gone
out in the little stove.
What was it somebody said when he
heard Jenny Lind the first time? Break
her heart and she will sing divinely."
And somebody did break the heart of the
songstress.
II is the way of the world-the way of
establishment.
So long as Alphonse is true and the
cat purs contentedly on the hearth and
the fire burns bright, SO long does life
look like a glittering pageant. But
There comes day when the fire is but
ashes and there is no lover to meet you
and kitty is dead. 1t Is then that the
mirage rises. The rivers of happiness
lose their runnels in the sands of lifes
desert places
Well Well!
1t may be that some sweet day Jules
will fill the heart that Alphonse left
empty and another kitty will sing and the
beautiful fire will flame up again in the
little stove.

That date line was familiar one to
readers of the newspapers a few weeks
ago and associated in the public mind
with sickening stories OF the mine dis

But
Along with the sordid horror of 1t all

who were these miners?
Well, most of them were foreigners or
naturalized Americans, and they were
rough and uncouth. Perhaps you thought
of them as hundreds of poor human
rats penned in the muck of the mine,
singed to their death by the fires.
Also
The men who worked at the shaft on
top and risked their lives in the mine
levels-hremen, miners, workmen-were
men rough on the outside of them.
Rough only on the outside

tender-hearted men who made rescue

cades, until they fell exhausted, in or

bodies to wives Or babies2 And of how

Or
OF how they found farewell notes in
the pockets of the dead, which spoke
not of despair, but of that some sweet
day when they should all meet again?
Or
Did you read of those who stood con-
slant guard over the dying miner and
his little water hole"-a depression in
the coal where a few black drops seeped
in-themselves perishing of thirst?

Why7

Why7
This is a pitiful tale of little Jan
Stock, victim of the mine disaster at
Cherry, III.
Jan, son of father killed in the mines,
was aged a. He was a sensitive child
who read books beyond his years and
passionatefy loved music.
But Jan was the man of the family at
IA.
The morning of the awful fire in the
mines Jan was in bed sick, and the doc
tor said he must stay, but he knew the
rent was just due
So the brave little fellow pinched his
thin lips together and went to the shaft,
the miners lamp lighting up his pale lit
tie face and his poor lunch in his little
tin bucket.
I'VE must not give up, little mother -
he said as he kissed her goodby.
And she?
Leaning against the shaft house that
fateful day, sobbing in her old brown
shawl the mother walled.
MY Godl kissed him and sent him
to his DEATH l sent him to die in that
hell hole below there for a.13.'
Motherlike, blaming herself.
And when they got her to her home
in the little shack, while the fiery inferno
ragged below, poor Barbara Stock, robbed
now of both husband and son by the
Moloch of the mines, said to a woman re-
porter:
Never again shall 7 be able to draw
full, long breath. Something clutches
me when I look into the face of child.
/ can see little Jan, my baby boy, lying
there In the passage with his head rest
ing on his arm and on his dead face the
patient, loving smile he always had for
us"
The poor woman grew hysterical and
| then, half crazed, talked proudly of how
Jan read the big books.
"It was the old family coming back
in him. Once, in the old country, his
fathers folks were mobiles OF late years
they have been working people. Jan went
to his death smiling, like many a man
Of his race before him."
Is it not an unutterably sad mystery ?
Why should such noble spirit as JAMS
be blown out by the heilish flames of the
pit when others, gross, sordid and un-
heroic, are permitted to quietly burn to
their very sockets?
To say that there Is no kind Provi-
dence that permits it to be so is to give
over to blank despair We are shut up
to the belief that all mystery has a
meaning.
One thing can be done.
The laws of Illinois say no boy under
the age of 16 shall be permitted to work
In Or about a mine.
The laws must avenge the death of
Jan Stock.

papers Offering SO an inch for good
healthy skin.
More than 50 persons offered their GU
ticle.
The applicants represented every class,
from the worlxingman without JOB,
who needed the money to feed a hunghry
family, to the wealthy clubman, who Of
fered to make the sacrifice in order to
save the chiid's life.
Only four were taken.
About an inch and a quarter of cuticle
was taken from the right arm Of each or
the men selected, following a rigid exam
nation by the doctors.
One OF the men said he had two little
sisters at home who reminded him OF
Ruth and that he would have gladly
contributed the full amount of the skin
out of pity for the child
Another successful candidate declared
he had walked four miles through the
rain in his desire to be of service.
Not one of the men would accept
cent of money-not even car fare
Well
These occurrences are not uncommon,
we are told, by hospital surgeons An
appeal for cuticle or for blood to be used
for TRANSMISSION into the veins of the
weak is always responded to.
End only when the person making the
Offering is in dire need is money accepted
for the sacrifice.
The fact is
The more you see of people and the
more you think about them the moro
do you become amazed at the inherent
goodness of men and women.
1t Is a Islander on the race to say that
men, women and children are naturally
depraved. They are not. They are nat
urally good. They may be hardened by
association or surroundings, but Inherent
ly they are disposed to goodness.
And a touch of nature does not make
the whole world kin. It Is kin. The oc-
casion merely brings 1t out. People are
not angels, by any means, but
Gods in his, heaven, and all's well

Bars on the Windows.

with what measure We mete it shall
be meeted out to you"
Robertson Morrison of Brooklyn owned
a big factory where he made celluloid.
He put bars on the windows of the build
ing to keep the burglars out.
He failed to put fire escapes on the
building to help his employees get out
the burglars to get in.
Ono day not long ago there was fire
in Morrison's factory. Great quantities
of celluloid exploded. In few minutes
the doors were shut off by the flames.
There was no way to get out but by the
windows.
MY God! My boy is there!' screamed
Robert Morrison.
He tried to rush into the factory, but
was held back by the police He broke
away and tried again He was painfully
burned before the police reached him.
And there in the hands of the police
he looked at the burning factory and the
barred windows. Ten persons were tug
ging at the bars. Morrison saw the face
of his son among the others and then
and there went insane.
The bars had done their work.
Ten bodies were taken out, among them
that of young Morrison.
For week the family succeeded in
guarding harrison in his palatial home.
Early one morning he got into the bath
room and killed himself with gas
