How Coal Was Discovered.

Some people think pigs do nothing
for the world. only to give their flesh.
They think they are great hogs and
want everything themselves. But in
think so. The Britons were very super
stitieus and believed everything the
4Druids or priests told them.
There is a legend that was told by
the Druids in Latin, and was later
translated into English. It is true
about it, but it has been told by so
many different descendants of the En-
glish that a great deal has been added
on. The legend is as follows:
The Swedish people had great
droves of pigs feeding in the valleys
of the highlands. One day one OF the
flock wandered away from the rest,
and fell into pit. 1t was quite deep,
SO it could not get out. 1t squealed
and sauealed: butt not one of the
herdsmen heard him. When they
gathered their drove together at night
they found one was missing Iney
called and called. but he did not come.
The next morning one of the nerds
men heard something squea1ing, so
taking his lantern he went to where
he heard the sound. AS he could not
see anything, he ran to the nut, ana
got a bucket and put some corn IN IT.
He lowered it into the pit. In about
ten minutes he drew it up, and was
surprised to find that the corn was all
gone. but IN place of it was some
black crumbled dirt, at least it looked
like it. The man was astonished. and
ran to tell the other herdsmen ABOUT
it. Soon they were all at the pit, Gag
er to get some of this black dirt, as
they called it, for it would burn as
fuel
Bucket after bucket went down IN
til all We're satisfied for that day, and
went home with the pig.
This pig was afterwards called The
EXPLORER Of the Chester Whites"
This black dirt was found out in
later years TO be coal, and many peo-
pie mined truth 3. McCol1um, age

lived IN the country.
There were no little girls to play
with and Bessie's only playmate was
little dog named Neb. He was black
and tan in color, and he knew SO much
that you would almost think that he
had sense
One day large circus came into
the town. It had a great many strange
animals with it, among them a giraffe.
Bessie was standing on the sidewalk,
with Neb at her side. watching the
parade go BY. Everyone was looking
at the giraffe and smiling at his long
neck. When Neb saw him he began
to bark loudly. 1t attracted the 81
RATES. attention and he put his head
down to the sidewalk and touched Neb
with his nose. It frightened the poor
dog so, that he ran into the house,
and he could not be induced to come
out all day. He sat looking out the
window and growing every time he
thought of his scare.
Il Bessie went to the circus and liked
it very much.

Once there was a woedchopper who
lived in big wood. He had a wife

One day he took the oldest boy in

trees and make them so as to get logs

After the boy had learned all about
that, he went to the city, where they
burn wood.

him where he got it, and he said:

There is no doubt that the leading
democrats of the country are banking
ter their chances of political success
upon the support of the private in
terestss for the same old considera-
ton. Their price is too high and al
ways has been too high. The great
hsoney combinations assume today
that they have more power than the
government. If by their opposition
they can control the government the
people are in their hands instead of
dxing the policies of the republic. The
movement of concentrated wealth
against Taft should prompt the people
10 flock to his standard. President
Taft has no issue with any trust that

and the combinations of trusts against
him should make him more and more

They took their places in the old
