A song of the Douglas party based
on Lincoln's personal appearance was:
Tell us he's a second Webster,
Or, if better, Henry Clay;
That he's full of gentle humor,
Placid as a summers day
Tell again about the cord-wood;
Seven cords or more per day;
How each night he seeks his closet,
There alone to kneel and pray!
Any lie you well, we'll swallow
Swallow and kind of mixture
But, o don't We beg and pray you
Don't for lands sake, show his pic.

Andrew Johnson, while serving out
he second Linco term, went about

view of an election on his own &C.

Before the Battle, Mother" did not
help him any!
Just before the election, Andy,
We are thinking most of you;
While We get our ballots ready
But, be sure, they're not for you,
No dear Andy, you'll not get them,
But, you'll get what you deserve
Oh, yes, youll get your leave of alb

That you ought to swing, It's true;
Oh, you tried to veto Congress,

campaign Of 1868, when Grant was
for his first term. This
one was a favorite at all the Grant
mass meetings:
Should brave Ulysses be forgot,
Who worked so long and well
On fields where fires Of Death were
hot
And brave men fought and fell.
He bore our Country's banner on,
Through scenes or direful strife,
And helped to strike the blow that
saved
Our Nations precious life.
Here's another written by Miles

For next President we nominate
Our own Ulysses Grant.

ANNUAL MASSACRE
OF WoRKlNGMEN.

OF WORKlNGMEN
In 1907, according to the United
States Geological Survey 1925 men
were killed and 1916 injured in coal
mining accidents in the twenty-five
States that produce ninety-eight per
cent. of the American coal; in 1908,
245O we're killed and 6772 injured. In
the decade ending with 1908, 19,469
men were killed in the coal mines of
these States.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion reports that in the seven years
ending with 1908 1886 employees
were killed and 335,964 were injured
on the railroads of the country.
According to the United States Cen
sus Bureau, of all deaths of adult
males from 1900 to 1908 inclusive 1885,
5G7, or 81 per cent, were due to ac-
cidents, and the United States Bureau
of Labor says: 1T is safe to assume
that about one-half of the deaths from
accideL;B among males is the result
of Industrial employments."

a gain of 1854 tons over that for
1910, but the total production is COM
paratively small. The increase was
due to the output of ovens in Pike

The Wisconsin Steel Co., which is
expected to become large produce
err, was still constructing ovens at
the close of the year; it Is expected
to have 300 ovens burning by the end
of the year. The Marrowbone Coal
& Coke Co., reported only 463 tons
for 1910. This company will finish
68 ovens in 1912, making a total of
100. The Elkhorn Consolidated Coal
& Coke Co. reported no coke for 1910.
The Straight Creek ovens (now own
ed by the Continental Coal Corpora
tion) in Bell county, which produced
2l5 tons in 1910, were idle IN 1911,
and are expected to so remain DUR
ing 1912. There are 200 of these ov-
ems; their greatest production lin
1902 was 38, TAG tons. The ovens of
the Ashland /. & M. Co. may have
made some coke from Kentucky

has heen received from them.
Companies, Employees, Etc.
The tonnage of commercial coal

concerns, operating $40 mines. or

The amount of powder consumed
IN the mines can only be approxi-
mated, since, where the miner fur
nishes the powder, the records of
sales at company stores does not
necessarily show all that has been
used. The monthly reports made
by the companies show consump-
ton of 24S,56l kegs, or 3,l07 tons of
powder. Over As per cent of this
powder was used In the Western
district, nearly 33 per cent in the
Southeastern, and fraction over ~
per cent in the Northeastern.
Mine Accidents
Thirty-six fatal mine accidents
inside the mines, for the calendar
year 1911. were reported to this Off
ces by the operating companies, and
five additional ones, which are I'M
der investigation, were reported from
other sources. Four fatal accidents
occurred on the surface, two of them
due to railway trains.
There were no fatal explosions OF
gas or of dust, but one man Ga shot
firer) was fatally injured by inhaling
flame of ignIted powder smoke. He
had ignited six heavily charged
holes, In close proximity, in rapid
succession-"as fast as he could
light them" Shooting was on the
solid. One of the shots last ignited
blew out aud set the voluminous
smoke of the preceding shots afire.
The man was overtaken by the fam
ing smoke. He was entirely con-
scIous when found, and lived about
SO hours. No explosive violence
was exhibited. Another man was
fatally burned by an explosion OF
powder. A spark from his lamp
fell into keg of powder. Two (pos-
sIbly three) men were killed by
coming In contact with live electric
wires, Attention has hitherto been
called to the necessity for legisla-
ton to regulate blasting, to regulate
the carrying of black powder into
mines, and to govern electric install
lations.
Detailed accounts of all fatal and
serious non-fatal accidents are, as,
usual, given in the complete report.

Machine-Mined Coal
Somewhat more than SO per cent
the total output was cut by ma
chine-a small increased over the
tonnage so mined IN 1910. There was
y marked increase in the number of
coal-cutting machines used, but the
production of new mines in which
machines are not employed kept the
percentage of machine coal close to
that of 1910.
The tonnage of coal mined by ma

1t was a total loss without a cent of
insurance. The next morning the
owner, a young Scotch-American pick
ed up his hat, went west, worked out
the Campbell System of Soil Culture

Campbell has given to the world
what it never had before-a practical

was slow work at first, but now he is
an acknowledged authority, not alone
in his native land but the world over.
BY his system for the conservation of
moisture in the soil, together with
summer tillage he has not only
doubled the areable acreage of the
world, but he has made it possible to
double and treble the average crop
