llOu, anu WudJ ne adQ was DuIl6u
long ago in the deep, black mine.
He did not seem to think of the
STANCE fate that sat him down on the
narrow board after the circle of his
life was done. He thought no more
about it than do the rest of us Of the
everlasting turning of the great
wheel to which all of us are strapped.
This is about all of Johns story.
1t is really up-to-date. The other
morning he walked up the slope to
the great black mill. AS he went up
the hill, his wheeling could be heard
hundred feet away. Every few rods
he stopped to rest. In his right hand
he carried the everlasting dinner pail
In his mouth was a black briar pipe.
Thank God, he could smoke. He
reached the breaker and started I'D
the steps. AS the first landing he
stopped to rest. The boys rushed
past, calling out Hello, Uncle
John?" At the second landing he
stopped again, and so on at each
landing to the top. Then he took
good long wait until he got his breath
before he started down the ladder to
his sea. Slowly and deliberately he
sat down upon the rough, hard board.
Mechanically, he took his tobacco
pouch from his pocket, knocked the
ashes from his pipe, filled it full of
fresh tobacco, put it in his mouth,
struck a match upon the sheet iron
lining of the chute, drew in his |
wheezy breath and commenced to |
smoke. Then he took his rheumatic |
leg in his hand, raised his foot until |
it rested on the right hand side of the |
long chute; he raised his left foot to |
the other side, bent over and looked |
down at the iron trough and waited |
for the coal to tumble down.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL Is
AMENDED.

The Rockwell public service COM
mission bill was passed by the House
on second reading recently and made
a special order for third reading to-
night at 930.
During the consideration of the
bill on second reading, but one i'm
portant amendment was made, re-
quiring street railways which connect
to issue transfers. All others, in
cluding attempts to give the commits
sion control of stocks and bonds to
eliminate provision that the COM
mission might give permission to a
company to go through a municipal
ity without consent of local authori-
ties, we're defeated.
The point of order was raised by
Mr. Humes that the bill was uncon-
stitutional because it referred to the
full crew act enforcement only by the
title of the act of 1911 and not by
the next. This was overruled by the
Speaker. A new title was inserted,
changing the phraseology and speci-
flying authority over grade crossing,
and to a certain extent, over NUM-
cipalities.
When the very first section was
read last Thursday Mr.. Humes,
Crawford, entered the lists and stay
ed there most of the morning. The
Democrats held together pretty we'll,
although they were unable to do
much and they let the salary provis-
ions go by without a single scream.
Mr.. Humes, Crawford, attacked
the provision empowering the COM
mission to grant permission to a
public service company to cross a
municipality without consent of To-
cal authorities. He denounced it as
destroying the last vestige of home
rule" and asserted that it was con-
trary to the progress of the times.

TOOK REST CURE WHILE WORK.
ING

A practical plan for bringing back
health is told by the woman who dis
covered it, in Harper's Bazaar. She
calls her article, Taking the Rest
Cure While Working" and in de-
scribing it she says: II had never
realized before what unfair demands
upon my weary self were made by
those trivial conversations and sim
pie evening pastimes at home. 1t
seemed that so little social diversion
would be needed anyway. Tired-out,
nervous people do not need diver
sions or stimulants or exercises or
drugs-unless the latter be necessary
for concomitant conditions. The cry
Ing need of nerves worn to a fraZzle'
is rest, rest, rest
The first thing necessary is a
place to rest in; a sanctuary where
none may ever intrude; where with
in the walls may be found the balm
of unruffled peace and unbroken 81
lence. If you have a comfortable.
well-Ventilated room, removed from
the stir of the household life, which
you can set apart for your own use,
with the understanding that, once
across its threshold, there will be no
demands made upon you, no sum-
mons of any kind, no vagrant calls
to reach you and keep you in touch
with the affairs outside during your
resting periods, your retreat is at
hand.
IF this cannot be had within your
own home, go outside.
Then take careful counsel with
yourself. Eliminate from your daily
routine of living everything possible
of effort, strain, stress and disturb
ance. You will soon learn how to
rest if you will give the matter at
tentive, deliberate thought, and your
self the proper opportunities"

Navy Quartermaster Gets a Big Order
For Muscle.

Quartermaster Andrew Koehn Of the
United States navy has been directed
by the government to row the entire
length of the Mississippi river from
Lake Itasca to the gulf Of Mexico in a
ten foot rowboat, starting June from
Park Rapids, MINI.
Quartermaster Koehn, who has been
on recruiting duty in st. Louis, is said
to be an expert oarsman, former mem
ber Of several champion navy teams, a
champion single sculler and winner of
prizes in rowing contests in different
parts Of the world.
He expects to make the trip in ninety
days, finishing at South Pass Jetty, on
the gulf of Mexico, 110 miles below
New Orleans. In order to keep himself
in condition for the trip, Koehn has
been in light training since October,
using rowing machines.
He has planned boat especially for
the trip, the craft to be of galvanized
steel, with a forty-five inch beam and
a wooden floor. The forward end of
the boat will be decked thirty inches
above the floor to provide a sleeping
apartment
For stormy weather Koehn will have
a rubber deck curtain buttoning to the
gunwale, with hole provided through
which he may put his head. The navy
department is arranging the run as an
advertisement to attract recruits.
