were discharged by the intense heat to
which they were subjected.
Two freaks are to be found at the OPEN
ing of the mine. At the mouth of the
mine the Southern railway has a bridge
extending over the tram track. In haul
ing coal over this bridge much dust was
collected on the timbers. and instead of
blowing the dust away the flames from
the mine charred the coal dust and
formed a perfect coating of coke on the
back side of all timbers
The ends of the crossties on this bridge
point directly toward the opening A piece
of wood about Is inches long and Jagged
at one end was driven into the end OF one
OF the crossties so firmly that 1t was
difficult for a man to extract it.
The trestle work from the mine to a
point over the middle of the river. a
distance Of 200 feet, is all badly battered
by rocks and timbers blown from the
entrance to the slope.
Practically all of the brattices in the
mine were blown out and many of the
pieces of timber were shot out into the
river

Palos, May Special.)--Evidences of
the violence of the explosion at the Palos
mines, which snuffed out the lives OF more
than 100 men. are everywhere about the
mouth of the slope. 1t is stated by Dep
uty Sheriff Kennybrook that the explosion
could be heard at Banner. nine miles dis
tant from Palos, and the shock was felt
at points much further away. :.
From all indications the flames from the
interior spread greatly after bursting
forth from the mouth off, the mine. The
leaves on all trees and bushes 30 feet on
each side of the opening and for a dis
tance OF 200 feet forward are all parched
and brown from the terrific heat to which
they we're exposed. er

The Way to keep Young.

1t is every woman's duty to
keep young as long as she can,
but unfortunately she does not
always know the best way to
live up to this duty.
Avoid worry, hurry and get
ting fiustered.
Learn self control. Anger is a
rapid wrinkle bringer.
Be temperate. Moderation
does not only refer to the sto-
mach, but overriding in any way
makes for premature old age.
Love the open air. Fresh air is
not a fad. 1t isinecesssry if one
would keep young.
Get plenty of sleep. Nothing
lines the face like nights of
wakefulness.
Keep mentally alert. An in
tellectual back number adds
years to her seeming age. Moth
ing makes for youth like a young
mind save perhaps a young
heart.

Red.Headed Family.

Of all the red-headed families
we ever heard of this Caudill
family eclipses all.
There are fifteen children in
the family, ten of them boys,
every one are living, all red
headed, in perfect health, and
never saw a sick day in their
lives. They are all over twenty
one years of age, the youngest
being twenty-one and the oldest
forty-two. Their father a n d
mother are both living and are
in perfect health. Their ages
are sixty-fve and sixty years
respectively.
There are two sets of twins in
the family. One set of boy
twins married twin sisters, both
of whom are red-headed. They
met the sisters at the same time,
fell in love at the same time,
proposed at the same time and
married under the same cere-
mony. For years they could
hardly tell their wives apart, as
both looked almost exactly alike.
They each have three red-head-
ed children, their first child be-
ing born just three days apart.
The children couldn't tell their
mothers apart until they were
over two years old. There is
only eleven months difference in
the ages of the two sets of
twins. Neither twin brother
ever saw the other one sick.
The hair of the twin sisters
comes to their knees. They are
cousins of Judge Amos Davis.
The twin brothers have been
in the general merchandise bust
ness in Camel City since their
marriage fourteen years ago.
All four of them have always
lived in the same house and never
had a cross word.
Every year they have a big
family reunion. This makes
the seventh and will take place

In 1907 nine brothers went to
Jamestown, the twin brothers
taking their wives. They were
