The husband and Arthur Langford,
Mrs. Vanderver's 18-year-old son by
a former marriage, saved themselves
by jumping from a second story win
dow after their efforts to rescue re-
naming mem bers of the family were
unsuccessful. Mrs. Vandever's last
act was q supreme expression Of ma
ternal love. She snatched up her z
year-old boy, Theirl. the favorite of
her children, hugged him tightly to
her breast and with a final effort
showed him out the screen of win
dow and dropped him to safety. Then
onlOokers saw her throw up her hands
and sink backward into the flames.
Yardmen and switchmen from the
railroads centering at Mitchell ran
toward the house and many of them

their men to fight the flames. and 200

THE PRICE OF COAL.

One hundred and fifty lives were lost
the other day in New York City when
a building which did not have ada
quatc fire protection burned. The whole
country was indignant. and in New
York public meetings have been held
prote sting against such carelessness.
A twO-inch news item appeared in the
dailies last week stating that in the
coal fields OF Pennsylvania 1,125 men
were killed in 1910 and many others
crippled or injured for life.
This appeared to be very common
place news story. 1t was not unusual.
1t happens every year-and besides
mosI of these men who were killed
were foreigners. American industries
do rot place a very high value on life.
If war should break out with Mexico
and 1000 men be killed, the whole ma.
ton would be in a state of excitement.
1t depends on whether a man is killed
on a battle field or down in a dark
damp coal rhine.
