Moral With Story.

"You think the militants won't
win in England? You think govern
mental repression will put them
down? Well, then, YOU haven't d.
gested the story of the satrap."
The speaker was Miss Inez Mil
holland, the beautiful suffragist of
New York. She continued:
ga certain satrap had a favorite
wife. She went walking in the pal
ace gardens one day, and had not
been long gone when a servant en-
tered, crying:
go, master, your wife is drowned.
She vas walking, as usual, beside
the swift stream that flows through
the hazel copse, and, stumbling over
an exposed root, she fell into the
water, Not once did she rise. We
have not yet recovered her body
"The satrap, a man Of few words,
quickly ordered that a strong horse
be saddled, and, mounting the ami
NAL, he proceeded to ford his way
upstream.
"He had not gone more than a
mile beyond his own domain when
an official respectfully asked him his
errand.
"My wife, the satrap replied,
was drowned in this river, and l am
searching for her body
"'But, SIRE cried the official. you
are going against the stream. You'll
never find her that wayp
"'Ah,' said the satrap, you didn't
know my wife"

All Records Broken in 1912.
In 1912 the production Of coal
in the United States not only
surpassed all previous tonnage
records, but the average value.
per ton exceeded that of any nor
NAL year in the 80 years for
which statistics are available.
There has been only one year
when prices generally were high
Ell than in 1912, and that was
1903, the year of the fuel fam
inc.
The gain in output in 1912 ov-
er 1911 was 38,095, 454 short tons
and the increase in value was
$69, 040,660 The production of
hitmminous coal increased from

tons. with an increase of $685.
COZ 1926 in value. The decreased
production of anthracite, amount
ing to 6,1O2,4 69 short tons, was
due entirely to the suspension Of
mining in April and May, when
practically the entire region was
idle. The factors which contri-
buted to the increased output of
bituminous coal were % the re-
vival in the iron and steel in
dustry, which stimulated produc-
ton in the Eastern States, the
coal made into coke showing,
alone. an increase Of nearly
100000 tons; ~ bumper crops
of grain and other agricultural
products, which gave prosperity
to the farming communities Of
the Middle West; (3) decreasing
supplies of natural gas and fuel
oil in the Mid-C Continent field anC
their consequent lessened com
petition with coal from the South
western States; az increased
consumption by railroads and in
nearly all lines of manufacture
ing; (5) activity in the mining
and smelling Of the precious

our ENORMOUS COAL PILE
Production Has Increased 400
Per Cent in a Generation
Record Breaking Figures
for 1912.

The production Of coal in 1912,
reached the great total Of 534,-
.66. $50 short tons, valued at the
mines at S695, SOC. OIL, according
Ito a statement by Edward w.
Parker. coal statistician, just is
sued by the United States Geo
logical Survey.
This year the report on the
coal industry of the United
states begins the fourth decade
in which coal statistics have been
published annually by the Geo
logical Survey. In 1882, the
first year of this period, the total
coal production of the United
States had reached what was
then considered about high-water
mark-103, SOL ,189 short tons. In
1912 the production of bitumi-
nous coal alone in the State of
Pennsylvania exceeded that fig
ure by nearly go per cent and
the combined production of BIZ
luminous coal alone in the State
of Pennsylvania exceeded that
figure by nearly 60 per cent and
combined production of bitumi-
nous coal and anthracite in Penn
sylvania in 1912 was "a times
the total production of the United
States in 1882. The total coal
production of the United States
in 1912 was more than five times
that of 1882. In 1882 the United
supplanled Great Britain
as the premier coal-producing
country in 1899, and in 1912 it
was as far ahead of the United
States in 1882. The United
States at present is contributing
40 per cent of the worlds supply
of coal and is consuming over SO
per cent Of its own production.
