Everyone in the hotel smoking
room. with one exception, had been
holding forth on his own personal
bravery and presence Of mind. Every
body, with the same exception, had
recounted at least one hair-raising
episode in which he figured as the
embodiment of cool courage.
At last the silent exception was

Southern Illinois Mines and Rail
roads Report Business Brisk
as Winter Times.

With all of the complaint Of the
mines working poorly and the old
song Of "hard times" coming from
many quarters. the railroads leading
out Of Hcrrin claim that they are
enjoying as good a business now as
hey did during normal times last
winter Over this time of the year.
everyone of the three lines report
that the coal shipments show a big
increase. 1t is all domestic coal.
there seems 10 be 40 sale at all for
screenings. One mine at Christie
pher is reported to have ordered a
steam shovel for use in disposing Of
the screening which are hauled
away and dumped
The Burlington railway which Is
one of the largest coal shipping
lines out Of Herrin having extensive
fields in the far northwest for this
coal is getting out about $50 cars
day TIE Herrin station bills
-56 cars and the Christopher station
hills 255 cars. Three hundred cara
day Is counted as a good average
run throughout the winter season.
This means about eight Or ten trains
day ont of Hcrrin.
The Illinois Central reports that
il is handling upward OF 200 cars
day. Business is running with
this line fully as we'll as it averaged
during the winter season Of last
year. Compared with this timo last
year. the shipments are now much
in excess. There are two and three
switch engines kept busy all Ct the
time. A ward master has been on
now since the last of July and a
part of last year the yard masters
position was abandoned.
The Missouri Pacific is handling
some 800 cars daily, requiring about
ten trains to handle the days out
put The switch engines, six by
lay and fcIr lay night are kept busy
n picking up these three hundred
ears
In all there IRE about twenty-five
trains of coal day out of the Her
rim field With the present heavy
shipments Of coal this early in the
season from this field, It is reason
able to predict thaG Herrin will have
good coal business this winter, for
getting into the markets and sell.
ing the coal will establish Herrin
coal and when the steam and rail-
road coal orders are turned loose
they will make an extra demand
upon this field. At presen. thu
great problem with the Herrin
operators is what to do with the

as low as thirty-hye cents a ton

THE LIGHTNING ROD.

The old time lightning rod agent
was a sadly maligned individual, as
We are finding out gradually in these
later days. The state fire marshal Of
Illinois now brings new testimony to
show that the lightning rod is all that
has ever been claimed for It.
During the month OF June more
lightning fires were reported to the
ever been previously reported in the
same length of time. There were 120
fires caused by lightning in the state,
and in no case was a building equip
ped with lightning rods damaged.
These fires caused a total property
loss of 500, $3.50. Seventy of these
fires caused the complete destruction
of the buildings struck by lightning
and loss on buildings of s90,550.
Fifty fires caused only a partial loss
on buildings, and the loss on these
buildings amounted to s13,005. Thus,
the loss on buildings from lightning
in the entire state amounted to $685.
$3.50. Fifty-five lightning fires caus-
ed not only the total destruction of
the buildings, but the entire loss of the
contents as well, and the loss on con-
tents in these So fires amounted to
SS2,612. Sixty-five fires caused but a
partial destruction of the contents OF
the buildings, or total loss on CEN
tents in this class of fires of s11, 40.
Thus. the entire loss on contents for
the fires amounted to S94,0S2.
A total of 975 fires was reported to
the department during the month of
June. Thus, it will be seen that light
ming caused more than IL per cent of
the entire number of fires which oc-
CURED in the state during the last 80
days. The per cent OF fire damages
caused by lightning, however. is very
much larger as the entire fire loss in
the state for the month of June
amounted to s957,O14, and since light
ming caused s2O2. $3.50, it occasioned
more than 81 per cent OF the entire
property loss by fires in the state.
Fifteen lightning fires causing a loss
of S30.025 occurred in the city of Chi
cago. However, a great majority OF the
fires occurred in the rural districts
and the bulk of the losses was borne
by the farmers OF this state.

WE SHOULD NOT.

Worry, like hate, anger. envy and
all other depressing emotions, is a poi
son, declares the Battle Creek Idea.
1t is a short circuit which burns out
the mental batteries and destroys the
power for useful activity. 1t is of lit
tie use, however, to tell the neuras-
thenic not to worry. He suffers from
worry just as he suffers from head
ache and cold hands and feet and
other miseries. The neurasthenic
worries not because he wishes to, but
because his mind operates in this dis
ordered fashion in spite of his desire
TO the contrary. He can no more help
worrying by voluntary effort than he
can stop the smarting of a burn or
the itching of a mosquito bite by a
mental effort. Nevertheless, the pa
tient can do much to help himself out
OF the worry habit by an effort to Guilt
waite an optimistic view of life in gen
eral and in each particular situation
that presents itself.
Worry, like the blues" is generally
due to chronic poisoning, the cure of
which changes the color OF the men,
tai sky and lifts the patient into a
sunny and peaceful atmosphere.
