4 DREAM OF THE ROAD By Pauline Frances Camp

Unwiudiug slowly, like a silver
 thread, Strung thick with flickering beads
 of sun aand shade; Starred with bright blossoms, rose
 and amber rayed, The road stretched out beneath my
 bUoyant tread. 1 pulled sweet armfuls of the flower
 ing things, And here and yon, in careless joy,
 I flung A spray, my fellow wayfarers
 among, Nor needed where it furled it's
 fragrant wings. So, as ! strayed, I reached the end
 one day, And wearied, stayed me at the
 palace door, To count the perfumed treasures
 that l bore; Alas, they all had withered on the
 wayi Then they who fared with me, ran
 swift to bring The blossoms I had tossed them on the road; And To, fresh as loves deWy morn
 they glowed And bearing these, I kuelt before
 the King.

storing Coal Is An Art.
From the New York Times.

~ from the New York Times.
The unreasonable weather OF Decem-
Der made the matter OF storing the coal
supply a live problem for the anthra :
cite coal operators OF Pennsylvania.
Only a limited amount OF coal can be
kept on hand at tidewater shipping
points. 1t has been estimated by a
man engaged in coal shipments that as
much as 10 per cent Of the annual pro-
duction of ccal, or nearly 1000. 900 tons.
IL In storage at this time. Il is not
expedient or possible to make the OPP
GRAFTON OF the coal mines dependent
upon the state OF the weather.
TO the ordinary observer, the open
storage plant, OF the uncovered kind,
Is nothing but series OF huge piles OF
day when the demand will call for
shipments. AS q matter OF fact, the
coal has been piled according to care
fully made plans.
Brealxage Is the dread OF the man
who superintendent the storage of
coal, for every lump that breaks means
loss OF money. At the typical outdoor
plant chain conveyor, supported by an
Immense slanting truss, delivers the
coal at the gradually ascending apex
OF a cone. BY means OF movable
trough bottoni the point at which the
coal is emptied is kept slightly above
the apex, so that the fall Is gentle and
the breakage Is minimized. When the
coal Is removed II 10 carried to a re-
loading tower by another conveyor.
One coal company has storage room
for 100000 tons At one OF it's plants
provision Is made for 100000 tons, at
another for $4,000 tons. More than
12S000 tons can be stored at q covered
plant In South Chicago. The Schuyl-
