AN IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE.

We are given an impressive exam
,ie OF the power of government in

demands of the higher power.

DIARY OF FATHER TIME.

During the early part Of the 18th
century England was the most un-
godly country in Christendom. Re
igion was set up as the principle OBJ
ject Of ridicule. while the clergy spent
most of their time in fox hunting and
hard drinking.
The debtors prison in the Fleet af-
forded a harbor of refuge TO a con-
siderable number of dissolute divines,
the scum of the Anglican clergy.
Many OF these clerical debtors were
not allowed TO wander from the pre-
cincts of the prison; to others this
privilege was not denied so long as
they elected to keep within a mile of
the Fleet.
Silently they commenced by marry
ing, without license. and without the
publicity of bauns, all people who ap-
piled 10 them in the chapel OF the
Fleet Prison. charging a fee which
varied from six 10 fifteen shilhngs.
Between the month of October. 1904.
and February. 1905, the marriages
solemnized in the Fleet Prison reach
ed the total OF 1850. Later on, not
content with placards and advertise
ments in the papers, the parsons fire.

ILLINOIS RANKING
HIGH in MINERALS
Government Reports Show That
That State Stands Third
in the Union

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-nlinois
ranks third among the states In the
value Of its mineral productions, with
iron ore rather than pig iron consid-
cred as the basis Of iron production,
according to statistics prepared by the
United States geological survey In
1912 the total value OF the mineral
productions was $123,000.O00, OF which
coal alone represented more than $7O,-
00O, 900. The total value Of minerals
' in 1911 was q little more than $l06,-
900, 900.
The report shows that while Illinois
produces no iron ore, IL Is an Import
ant manufacturer of pig iron, being
Exceeded only by Pennsylvania and
Ohio. In the production OF coal. the
state Is surpassed only by Pennsyl
vania and West Virginia.
In recent years, the state has shown
itself an important petroleum pro-
ducer, the output In 1912 being more
than 2S IL million barrels valued at
about $25.000.000. The production last
year. however, showed a decrease OF
e, 100 900 barrels valued at nearly Va
10000 over 1911. No explanation Is
found for this decrease. The COM
bined value of the three fuels--coal,
oil and gas-in 1912 was $95,0O0.00
ms compared with $4,000. 900 in 1911.
The output of pig iron. which is not
lncmded In the total OF minerals pro-
1uced. amounted to 2,S00,0O long tons
valued at $42,S00,000.
