soLAcE IN HIS MISFORTUNE
Entombed Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days Of Suffering.

Miners are among the most heroic
people In the world. Danger Is always
beside them. and they are schooied to
believe that any time they will come
face to face with death. The result OF
this is that they are humorous in their
bolcness.
In one Of the mines OF Pennsylvania
there was a cave-iu which imprisoned
a miner named Jack Thornton. The
accident happened on Friday after
noon. and the fellow laborers Of the
entombed man set to work at once to
dig him out. 1t was not until Sunday
morning. however. that they reached
his prison chamber. and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been suffocated or starved to death.
One of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks Of
the rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you all right?"
'All right" came the reply. and then
after q pause: What day is this?"
Sunday" exclaimed the friend.
Gee" exclaimed Jack, I'm glad Of
that. That was one Saturday night
when those saloonkeepers didn't get
my wages."-Popular Magazine.
