A NATURAL MANS FINISH.

If the author of a continued story
which ended in the current number of
the Ladies' Home Journal, had car
ried out his original idea, that Won
derful circulation of which we are all
so proud would have been shot to
pieces worse than Canadian reci-
procity.
The authors original idea was to
have the hero natural man. In the
first place, the heroine of the story
chased the natural man. She cap
tured him, set the wedding day, and
before he knew it he was married,
which has happened to many natural
men.
From the very first day of their mar
riage the heroine was dissatisfied with
the natural man. His kisses were new
er anything but cool, matrimonial
pecks. The heroine played the piano
but the natural man did not take any
interest IN her music. It bored him.
The heroine adored art, and would
stand before some great picture and
tremble with emotion, until her hus-
band would yell Come on at her in
a tone of voice which made her near
ly jump out of her skin.
The heroine left that husband, and
another man Came Into Her Life
whose hot breath famed her cheek,
and whose kisses thrilled her through
and through When she played the
piano he grew deathly pale with Feel
ing, and great work of art made his
eyes swim in tears.
The natural man was killed by wild
beasts in Africa, and the story ended
with the heroine wrapped in the close
embrace of the continued-story-m man, a
kind that never felt the breath of life,
and is never found outside of the
novels written for women only The
author is not to blame for switching
away from that natural man; no cir
could stand up under nat
ural man for the hero of a love story
and circulation is important with the
L. H. J., although the women may not
know it.-Atchison Globe.

Not so long ago a Kansas crowd
jeered at an aeroplanist because he did
not think conditions were right for a
flight that the crowd had paid money
to see. To appease the crowd he sail
ed his machine into the air, it became
urmanageable and he dropped to his
death. Practically the same thing hap
pened more recently at a county fair
near Dayton, O., only in this instance
the aviator was burned alive through
an explosion of his gasoline tank. He
knew his machine was not in condition
for a flight but the taunts Of an ire
sponsible and unthinking crowd drove
him to his death. Isn't it about time
for crowds to hesitate about putting
their judgment against that of expert
enced aviators?

THE EVENING STORY
Suspicious Characters.

Mr.. Guy Ascot came to the village
inn at Westport because he had been
told that he fishing was great in
September, and that all the summer
guests would have departed. Mr..
Wescott was bachelor and he didn't
like a crowd of people. He had a fair
income and lived in a comfortable way,
ard mostly for himself. Whatever else
he fshed for, he didn't angle for Wo-
men.
Miss Helen Asher, who was old
enough to be called an old maid, but
didn't care and who couldn't get
away from her studio in the city until
after August, had come up to the inn
to rest and be alone, and perhaps
make a few sketches in the neighbor-
hood before returning. If she had
ever loved she couldn't recall the in
cident. She had very chilly way
with men.
The landlord of the tavern boasted
that he took no responsibility. If his
guests did see fit to deposit their valu-
ab1es in the old sheet-iron safe in the
office he could not even sympathize
with the loss by theft. He never in
troduced one guest to another Thus,
if robber made the acquaintance of
a minister, or a gambler that of Sun
day school superintendent, and things
happened, mine host could rub his
hands and say:
''AlI their own fault! did not in
troduce them"
It thus came about that although
they were the only two guests in the
house. Mr. Ascot and Miss Asher
were not introduced. They had to
take each other on their looks, and
neither was satisfied.
Hes a selfish, repellent man."
was Miss Asher's verdict as she sat
opposite Mr.. Ascot at their first meal.
'sAnd he's no gentleman. Had ne
recognized my presence I should have
recognized his. I hope he will leave
tomorrow"
And Mr.. Ascot, after looking his
vis-a-vis over from thetail of his eye
growIed to himself:
IAN old maid, for sure. Probably
spent the summer somewhere else
trying to catch a man, but failed, and
is now making a last effort She

CONSUMING ANTHRACITE

Anthracite is a clean fuel and it's
good qualities are fully appreciated,
but, unfortunately, the field in which
it is found is restricted, and there will
inevitably come time when no more
will be available. Happily for US, how
ever, the exhaustion of the supply is
not likely to come in our time, great
as is the constant drain upon it. And
the drain is certainly great. Anthra-
cite shipments in August amounted to
5,531,796 tons, and this was an in
crease of 735,752 tons over the same
month last year. There has been only
one year in the history of the use of
anthracite when the shipments have
been greater. In 1907 the August
shipments amounted to the grand total
of 5,795,347 tons. The Lehigh Valley
Railroad carried the largest anthracite
tonnage last month, the Philadelphia
& Reading was second and the Lack
awanna was third. Anthracite is being
rapidly consumed. The interesting
problem is how long it can last.-Man-
chester Union.

FROM OTHER PENS
DINNER TABLE AS JPLIFTRR.


The Chicago Association of Com
merce, in its campaign to add 400 new
members to it's roster, has adopted a
line of attack so powerfully and ap-
pealingly human that success can
hardly but follow. Man, feels the as
sociation, is primarily a social animal;
he eats and drinks in company, and
it is around the festive board that he
is to be addressed most effectually.
Accordingly, dining teams working
comparatively, will be organized among
the members of the association They
will reserve tables at hotels and rest
aurants. Then desirable candidates,
surrounded by good company and by
the good things of life, will accom-
modatingly succumb, with double
gain-that to themselves and that to
the work which the association is do
ing for the community.
The advantages of food and drink as
aids to discussion and as promoters
of harmony are well attested by general
experience. Dinners have smoothed the
course of diplomatic negotiations. Ban
quets have often reconciled warning
factions in politics. Controversies be-
tween capital and labor have more than
once been harmonized around the social
board.-Chicago Record-Herald.
