Increases Here in December

BOSTON, Oct. Goal dealers here
today announced an advance of rs
cents ton in the price of coal. The
dealers declare that the increase is
necessitated by the high cost of han
ding. 1t is expected. however, that
the prices of coal outside of Boston

Local coal dealers say they antici-
pate no increase in price until Deem
Der, when the usual raise of Is cents
on ton will take effect. Until that
time they think the prevailing prices

Fieht, Fight!

Itwas not much to get excit-
ed over at that but it was a little
incident out Of the ordinary
when two young women slapped
and pushed each other a little
while Saturday night in the
|Sigloch drug store. 1t seems
that one Of the girls, from the
country, in someway became the
object of attention undesirable
to her from some. of the other
young people. When the young
woman from the country started
to leave the store it is said the
young woman living here barred
the passage way with her body,
several times. The other girl
finally slapped the girl barring
her way and started to go,
whereupon the other girl pushed
her and was slapped again for
her militancy. The affair re-
snlted in no serious results for
either part beyond the light
slaps and the diversion it fur
nished the bystanders who were
plentiful.

from his downy coach a few
mornings ago and rushed forth
to a cold face-wash inIthe region
of the old oaken bucket. He
performed these ablutions broke
his fast and hiked for the corn

glowing, golden nubbins. With
the exhuberance of a late youth
he grabbed one husky nub and
gave it a jerk. Sad fate. Pau

The jerk sprained his left wrist

Number Al
Called His Hand

John Taylor and Tom Kemper
are neighbors in Charlton coun-
ty. John is a republican and
told Democratic Tom all about
how the bottom would drop out
of prices for farm products if
Wilson won. Tom did not
swallow the calamity pill and Of
fered to buy Johns surplus
truck at double the price John
said it would sell for. So an
agreement was entered into by
which Tom was to get Johns
eggs at ten cents per dozen, hogs
at three cents per pound, calves
at ten dollars per head, mule
colts at $25 per head and corn
at SIPS per barrel. But strange
to say John has not had any sur
plus to turn over to Tom. Once
a week Kemper drives over to
Taylor's and asks him if he is
ready to deliver that bunch of
hogs, calves and colts, but
Taylor stoutly maintains that
they are not ready for market
yet, all of which leads Tom to
say that he has always been
charitable enough to believe the
man who said a sucker was born
every minute didn't know there
were but 1880 minutes in a day.

AN OPIUM BONFIRE IN CHINA
Paraphernalia conf1scated From
Smokers by Authorities 10 Burned
Once Every Month.

A quantity OF opium pipes. lamps,
and paraphernalia for the preparing
OF the drug, to the total value of more
than 10000 taels, was publicly burned
In the presence of Chinese officials
and squad of soldiers on the empty
space of ground behind the British
concession in Hakow.
The goods represented the results
OF months raiding in and about the
city. The opium, which was the ma
tive product, and the other articles
were piled In a heap opposite the
Ningpo club and were thoroughly
soaked in kerosene and packed round
about with firewood
This was set fire to, kerosene being
poured on the bonfire when the flames
showed signs of dying down. Not
clay vial was left. The burning Is
carried out once a month, this being
the second time, and q different place
is selected for each fire. The opium
and utensils were wholly confiscated
from smokers. The smokers were
tined or imprisoned

MADE BANQUETS OF BOOKS
Authors Compelled to Eat Their Print
ed Volumes Tried to Ac-
quire knowledge That Way.

With the exception of the minerals,
it is difficult for one to find on the
earth's surface substances that do not
tempt the appetite of some sort Of
animal. The list of queer articles Of
diet includes the earth, which Is
munched with satisfaction by the clay
eater, and the walrus hide, which the
Eskimo relishes as much as does John
Bull his joint of beef.
1t is not generally known, however,
that men have eaten dinners that have
consisted only Of books.
In 1870 Barnabo Visconti compelled
two papal delegates to eat the bull of
accommodation which they had
brought him, together with its silken
cords and leaden seal. AS the bull
was written on parchment, not paper,
it was all the more difficult to digest.
A similar anecdote was related by
Oelrich, in his "Dissertatio de Biblio-
thecarum ct Lbrorum Fatis' (1756)
of an Austrian general who had
signed a note for 1000 forms. and
when it fell due compelled his credi-
tors to eat 1t. The tartars, when books
fall into their possession, eat them,
that they may acquire the knowledge
contained in them.
A Scandinavian writer, the author Of
a political book, was compelled to
choose between being beheaded or eat
ing his manuscript boiled In broth.
Isaac Volmar, who wrote some
spicy satires against Bernard Duke Of
Saxony, was not allowed the courtesy
of the kitchen, but was forced to swal-
low them uncooked.
Still worse was the fate of Philip
Oldeuburger, jurist Of great renown,
who was condemned not only to eat a
pamphlet of his writing, but also to
be hogged during his repast, with or
ders that the flogging should not cease
until he had swallowed the last crumb.
