COAL IS SCARCE.
Dealers Waiting Patiently for
Their Shipments.
Protracted Strike, Recently Set
tied, Direct Cause.
GAS SUPPLY IN DOUBT
No One Quite Sure Whether
There Will Be Plenty.
Even Railroads Have Been Hav-
ing Hardships.

Local dealers are not scattering
sunshine on the coal situation for this
winter. Practically every large coal
dealer in town is waiting patiently for
shipments that seem never to come.
The protraeted strike, which recent
ly was settled, is the direct cause of
all the trouble. When the mines shut
down there was a fair supply of fuel
on hand, but people kept merrily
burning coal just as though a short
age was entirely out of the ques-
ton.
The result is that almost all Of the
dealers are behind with their orders
and real winter is about six weeks
away Even the railroads have ex-
perienced hardships as a result of the
strike They have been using all man
ner of methods to keep their coal sup
ply up to the standard but without
avail. Every day the consumption is
just a little head of the supply, and
the situation looks bigger than sky
scrapers to the men who must fur
nish the fuel.
The state house, asylum and other
state institutions will be supplied with
coal from the Leavenworth mines and
men with state jobs do not need to
worry.
To be sure, the gas supply means a
big >aving N Topeka's coal bill. but
no one IS quite sure there VIII be
plenty of gas every day.
Dealers Are Hopeful.
The Nieholson-G Gillette men are in
clined to be optimistic over the sit
uation. so far we have had little
trouble" said c. c. Nicholson, in dis
cussing the outlook. The gas bust
ness has killed off fully ninety per
cent of the coal business in To
peka and we will not need nearly the
amount of coal many persons believe
will be required to run over the
winter
Before the gas company entered
Topeka, there were forty-four coal
dealers here. In the winter months
each of these firms averaged the sale
of about a car of coal a day. That
meant $500 to 1000 cars of coal in
a six months season, Independent of
factories, railroad Offices shops and
state house.
company says that on December /,
last year, that company had on hands
about 500 tons of coal; now it is
struggling in one and two car lots
every two or three days.
1T looks like mighty serious
proposition" said Mr.. Fisher "but If
we can have six or eight weeks of
good weather, I believe the operator
will be able to catch up with the de-
mand. Right now every firm in the

either. English cut glass was almost sold
by weight At least, any one buying cut
glass would be impressed by the weight
OF the deeanter in the hand. There is
no special value in mere weight: indeed,
a very heavy decanter is something Of a
nuisance. and the thickness of the glass
led to its being very deeply faceted,
quite regardless OF beauty or pattern.
This heavy, ponderous glass was very
rarely turned out in any beauty Of form;
II only exhibited extraordinary skill in
the making. very much as those huge
opalescent trumpetlike glass tubes, some
OF them five feet long, which are sold
nowadays for the purpose of holding
reeds and grasses. They are testimony
to the ability Of the blower; but as fur
nishing accessories, they are neither
beautiful nor very useful
At the present time there appears TO
be a tendency for fewer glasses 10 be
used at dinner than formerly. People
drink less. and very seldom, indeed, use
all the glasses placed before them The
use OF colered glasses is on the decline
says the Gentlewoman. for, as noted be-
fore. the wine itself should provide the
color just as the huge glass bottles in the
windows OF chemists shops are filled with
colored water for brilliant effect No
colored glass can quite equal in depth
and transparency a beautiful blown clear
white vessel filled with port or Bur-
gundy.
As decoration, the glass flower vases
now made in such wonderful variety are
OF the greatest assistance in arranging a
dinner table. Even here it is far too
usual TO see highly ornate centerpieees
used which swamp every other effort at
establishment Of which the table may
boast; but engraved glass may be used
with more fitness for this purely orna-
mental purpose than for anything else.
Several practical considerations arise
when glass has 10 be purchased for the
household. For one thing the very deli
cate stems OF many wine glasses are a
source of positive torture TO the woman
who is unfortunate enough to be served
by clumsy domestics. They break with
alarming frequency.
Another point worth thinking OF IS
the stability OF tumblers. Those with
heavy bases are best Narrow tumblers
are invariably difficult TO clean. Fairly
wide shapes in the simplest forms are TO

Somewhere some poet has used a phrase
that clings in the memory. THE price Of
learning to love" II Is phrase TO pom
der over. We pay a price for so many
things-freedom, health, happiness. Must
we even pay a price for learning to love?
Some women seemingly pay no price
Love comes to them without obstacle or
fret. He stays with them happily and Il
seems to the outside world as If trouble
OF misfortune never comes to their door
With others. however. sorrow comes
with love. They pay heavy price for
learning to love. Is It worth the price7
Or do they pay too much?

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

School hygiene Is q subject worthy con-
sideration, but the public cannot see why
1t should take precedence OF common
branches OF education for which text
books are necessary, especially when a
large and important city declares itself
unable to supply them. Sixty thousand
dollars is a great deal of money 10 spend
on games, but IT would not matter IL It
had not been provided at the expense of
other important departments.
1t is customary to criticise the school
department, so, possibly. those in author
ity have become thick-skinned But the
fact remains that common school eduea-
ton is far from satisfactory. despite the
enormous sums spent upon IT, Experiment

body would find fault with It were there

have never heard that fact questioned,
yet there is so much additional crowded
into the school course that thoroughness
is impossible There is not enough sup
Elementary reading. not enough drill in
spelling. and not nearly enough practice
in adding. subtracting. multiplying, and
dividing. Fancy well-advanced pupils who
cannot repeat the tables of weights and
measures as accurately as do their pa
rents who have had to rely upon memory
for several years!
The solid fabric OF education can be
ornamented later on. If there is need for
characterization. Boys and girls with pro-
nounced artistic tastes need special
courses to fit them for special work. but
the children who are facing a lifetime OF
practical labor need the essentials TO
make work easier and more remuneratfve.
The average Office boy is a thorn 10 bus
