Associated Charities.
The couple are residents Of Nichols,
N. Y, and, according to the girls story,

to let any one separate US. / don't see
why any one should interfere II we
love each other, and know we do"

like her mother was" said Leary, "and
i want to take her and make her my
own. God knows III be good to her."

RHODE ISLAND FOR TAFT.
Colonel Roosevelt Vigorously Scored
BY Convention Chairman,

Providence, r. l.. April 25.-Ten
delegates pledged to vote for William
II. Taft until released were elected to
the Chicago national convention by the
Republicans of Rhode Island in con-
vention assembled.
Colonel Roosevelt was vigorously
scored by Congressman Utter, chair
man of the convention.
"The issue today" Mr.. Utter said,
"is whether the old party principles
shall be maintained or whether they
shall be stricken in the house of their
friends.
Roosevelt did not declare for pro-
gressiveness until Robert La Toilette
broke down. And l believe his break
down was due to the knowledge that
Clifford Pinchot and James r. Garfield,
who were pledged to support him, had
in the dark been trying to elevate
Roosevelt"

bed or in the watery coal bin formed
by a dam.
How far this coal travels cannot
be told exactly. The first supply
comes into the river in the region of
Wilkes-Barre. Twenty-Five miles be-
low Wilkes-Barre, at Nescopeck, they
dig river coal. Twenty-Five miles
further downstream, at Sunbury, the
coal fishers are still busy. Here a
second supply of coal empties into
the Susquehanna with the inky wa
ters of the Shamokin Creek.
Another twenty-five miles down
stream, at Liverpool, one still finds
the coal fishers delving like so many
oyster tongers; and little fleets of
coal boats move up and down the
river at Harrisburg, another twen-
ty-tive miles below. SO that for 100
miles at least the bed of the Sus-
quehanna is dotted with little coal
piles.
So, too, are the shores bordering
this stretch of river. For every
farmer has his riverside coal bin, a
boarded-in space by the river bank,
alongside which he can moor his
boat to unload. Frequently the
farmer has several bins, for he sep
arateS MS coal according to size by
means of screens with meshes of
different widths.
Hard to lie the coal boats, each
with it's long pushing pole, its sieve
like shovels and anchor pins. For
when Johnnie goes to fish for coal
he anchors his boat at right angles
to the current by means of two
pieces of iron pipe that he thrusts
down into the river bed through
iron rings on the side of his craft.
Then he takes his scoop, which is
really a wire covered frame, and
brings up a scoopful of the river bot
tom. He rests his shovel handle on
the side of his boat and moves his
load back and forth through the wa
ter, like a gold miner washing a pan
of ore. Thus Johnnie washes out
the sand. The residue is almost
pure coal. In a day Johnnie can dig
several hundred pounds of coal.

they were met by a volley of shots
fired by four of the robbers stationed
behind buildings outside the bank.
The citizens armed themselves, re-
turned to the scene under cover and
began shooting in the direction of the
fire, flashes coming from the conceal
ed robbers guns. Explosion after ex-
plosion occurred in the bank. After
gathering up all the cash in sight the
robbers set fire to the wrecked vault.
The building caught fire. and while
the blaze was being eXtinguished the
robbers escaped.

So his dinner was placed on a

When all were seated, the minis
