Big development in the coal fields
along the Norfolk & Western rail-
road, especially in the Tug river
field, will follow the new year 1910,
II is understood that the Pocahon-
tas Consolidated Galleries Company
will shortly commence work on the
opening up OF six new operations
which will extend from Tug Fork
over to Laurel Creek, adjoining the
lands Of the Farraday Coal q Coke
Company, which company is owned
by II. G. Friek. No announcement
of the plan has been publicly made
known but II is nevertheless a fact
that the work is contemplated and
Furthermore that II is to be done
during the year 1910. The coal to
be opened is Pocahontas coal OF the
usual quality. which means that II
is as good as the best in the field.
The Pocahontas Consolidated Coli
cries Company will find an unusual
ly large market for its coal during
the next few years and is preparing
for this demand by development.
The fact that it is opening up mines
so close to the United States Steel
Company operations again lends
truth to the current rumors that
the Steel Corporation will eyentu-
ally be obliged to buy all of the coal
in this section which is adapted to
coking purposes.

There was a Jail delivery effect
ed at Pikeville Saturday night. and.
as consequence, three criminals
are now at large. The Jail is quite
unsafe not only from a sanitary
standpoint, but is not considered
adequate for holding desperate Grim
inals, as they frequently escape. In
this instance, those who escaped
were Creed Stewards, murderer, an
other forger, and a third a horse
thief, They made their escape by
saving the bars of the Jail. Others
could have escaped, but did not wish
to do so. So far no trace has been
found of them.

NURSERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.
Schooiroom in Victoria, . Tower.
Well Situated for Light and Air

FROM the London Mail.
The two suites of rooms at the ton of
Victoria Tower, Windsor Castle. are IT.
ted up and ready for the children of the
King and queen. There are SCHOOL,
room' dining room. day and night MUIR
SERIES rooms for governesses and at
tendants, bathrooms and kitchen
Inc former are beautiful apartments
ana are Immediately above the rooms
OIL the King and queen. The children.s
apartments are magnifcently situated for
hight and air. and they command mos,
delightful views. When the sun ia shin
ing it. throws a flood Of light into the
nurseries.
Being at, considerable altitude these
chtldren's apartments catch. the health
giving air from Windsor Park, and there
are no more beautifully situated school,
rooms IN the world. Everything about
them Is light and bright. There is moth
ing somber, the walls being covered with
very light papers.
The schooIroom is fitted UP with little
tables and chairs, and the furniture Is
all In keeping. 1t much resembles a
drawing room, except that there are
all kinds Of childfen's books and school
requisites.
Here the. royal children Prince John
is the youngest. and he celebrated his
fifth birthday few days ago, will do
their lessons and learn about the. great
empire of which Windsor Castle is the
center Immediately below. the windows

Speaker is only a boy in actions. Tri-
fling things amuse him. He cares moth
ing for books. and as for. newspapers,
he simply chances at the Red Sox score
to see II the reporters have given credit
10 all the base hits he made. He wants
to be out of doors all the time. Most Of
the Boston players live together in an
apartment house in Huntington avenue.
Many of them like to .loll around their
rooms when they are not playing ball.
Not SO with Speaker. He gets out and
roams around If he has nothing to do.
Recently he bought an automobile, and
next winter it will be the only car in
Hubbard City. Tex. He has learned the
mechanism of the machine. and now
spends his mornings Speeding on the
suburban roads. And doubtless this

for twenty miles without returning with

nutrition may merely manifest itself in
the form of intense sefishness and an
indifference to the rights and sufferings
of others. Almost every teacher has seen
one or both of these forms of malnutri-
ton manifested in her pupils. In many
cases the person or child is not conscious
of the hunger impelling these irrespon-
Sible or impulSfye acts to which he feels
constantly driven by seemingly ire
Sistible impulse.

to school insufficiently fed because they
could not wait for the regular breakfast,
as they were afraid of being tardy. and

These considerations have led some So
cial reformers to consider that this ques
ton Of feeding school children is the most
urgent problem of the time, and some
physicians even who have been deeply
interested in the subject for years, con-
slider that tbs proper feeding of children
Is OF even greater Importance than. the

From time to time people have sought

be the chronic hunger of school children
