Shetland Ponies In Mines.

While thousands of Shetland ponies
furnish amusement for the children of
England. just as they do for the boys
and girls of the United States. much
larger number are used In the English
coal mines. The tunnels of the Eng
lish mines are not nearly so large as
those of the mines in this country. and
It is necessary TO have very small po-
MES to draw the coal cars from the
pits. The only alternative would be
TO enlarge the tunnels. a plan which
would entail too heavy an expense 10

mine owners The limit In height of
ponies used by the English miners is
forty-three inches They prefer TO have
them not over thirty-eight inches high.

the old days 1t was a common practice
for English miners TO use mother po-

was passed some years ago prohibiting

the mines. Recently another law was
passed prohibiting the use of male po-

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Egg Demand Good and Prices Hold
Steady.

Boston, Jan. s.-Beyond a steadier
feeling in eggs, the local market for
dairy products is without change from
the recent conditions. The demand for
eggs is better than it has been lately,
ard with supplies both actual and pros
pective, smaller than they have been,
there is not nearly as much pressure
to sell as there has been lately. Very
cold weather is noted all over the west
where eggs come from, and the cold wave
is reported as heading toward this part
OF the country. Fears of smaller re-
ceipts as a result of the cold weather
prompt local receivers 10 hold the goods
they have with more frmness than they
have lately. The movement OF butter
and cheese continues only moderately
active, but prices hold up in the lack
OF large arrivals.

BULL MOOSE
RAMPANT
A Bureau Is To Be Opened
Up in Wash

TO PROMOTE
LEGISLATION
Will Support All Measures
for the Public
Interest

Washington, JAN S.-The Progressive
party is, preparing for active work in
Washington during the sessions OF the
sixty-third Congress. Within few
weeks it is learned bureau, more or
less elaborate, will be opened in the ma
tional capital and from it the plan is to
issue educational press matter, inter
views, miscellany, and the rest Of the
regular output of political campaign.
Although nothing has been said about
il officially as yet, it is known here
that former administrative office of
the government. close friend OF Colonel
Roosevelt. will have charge of the bureau.
Part of its work will be educational, and
part of it will be the practical work OF
trying to push progressive" measures
through Congress.
In view of this, some. remarks deliv-
cred by former Forester Clifford Pinchot
at Progressive meeting in New Haven
Monday night are believed to be signi
fcant Mr.. Plnchot's speech was given
out by the National Conservative as
ISOLATION in Washington, and is in part
as follows:
''The Progressive party has not been
relieved from responsibility by the result
of the election. As second of the great
national parties our obligation to work
for the practical application of our prin-
eiples is as clear as if we had won this
first battle. Accordingly we propose to
and present to Congress and
to the state legislatures bills TO carry
the planks of our state and national
platforms into practical application. In
three months campaign we advanced
from position of party without or
ganization or legal standing to that OF
the second or minority in the United |
States, and we accept cheerfnlly the du- |
ties which that position entails. Facing |
ties which that position entails.
Facing those duties squarely, the /
party. united, vigorous and
determined, should lose no chance of
the cause for which it stands.
4 the majority party i'll Congress or
tate legislatures propose to take action
hostile to the public welfare, we of the
Progressive party through our senators
md representatives through our com
nittees on legislation and in other ways,
hould oppose it to the limit of our pow
rs but any legislation genuinely for
he public interest, originating from any
'arty or from any source, we will sup
'ort and defend, for we are and shall
emain more interested in the prosper
ty, happiness and success of the people
