Perhaps if you had taken time for
reflection, after that last quarrel, you
would not have gone, after all, and
two hearts, at least, would have now
been gladder.
But Reno beckoned and it seemed
to easy. No explanations, no nOtO-

and the tie is severed The heart
ache comes after, but lasts, oh! so
long.
Now that you are there, Reno will
see to it that you do not undUly re-
fleet. Reno will speed you to the
parting of the ways, or else you
might regret your haste, might even
return to build a happy home, in
time. That would be better, per-
haps, for yOu-a loving husband and
perchance a blue-eyed babe-but bad
for Reno.

THE MILLS WILL GRIND.-Reno
has again thrown wide its sheltering
arms to the unhappy victims of ''in-
compatibility of temperament"
It viii once more be easy, com
paratively speaking, to skip over to
Nevada, spend a six months vaca-
ton, and rid yourself of your matri-
monial incubus. If you have the
price, Reno will make your stay
pleasant. Even now they are arrang-
ing a series Of legahzed race meets
with a little gambling on the side, to
while away the tedious hours. They
are even ringing in the prizefght
game so that you may not be en-
nuied and perchance remember.
You will be well received and the
''incOmpatibility' operated upon
with neatness and dispatch. Mean
while you will be kept from think
ing. Back at home there may be
heart breaking for love of you, but
what matters that? Your tempera-
ments were incompatible; so, in a
hasty moment you agreed to part.
Your own heart may ache a little
too, when you recall the love light in
his eyes as he stood at the altar. You
may grow a little homesick when
the scent of the orange blossoms is
waited in your window; perhaps
there may be a curly haired tot
whose head was wont. to repose in
your mother lap as he lisped the bed
time prayer. Possibly you will miss
him as well

Decrease In Ohio Coal Mining.

Twenty million tons is the Geological
Surveys estimate by Z. W. Parker.
coal statistician. for the coal produc
ton Of Ohio during 1914. On April all
the coal miners in Ohio went on strike
over the wage scale, the matter in dis
pute being whether wages should be
paid on minerun basis, as provided
by recent legislation. The law has been
bitterly opposed by the coal operators.
and while during the first three months
of the year the coal production of the
State was 10 per cent greater than the
production for the corresponding
months in 1913, practically all the Ohio
mines were idle from April to July. The
Hooking Valley district then resumed
operations, and in August the Cam
bridge district also resumed. In what is
known as the No. district (n1ines OPP
Grating in the Pittsburgh No. coaD
the mines were still idle at the end Of
the year. The wisdom of the mine-run
legislation may well be questioned.
particularly in States where the mar
kets require screened coal, as is large
~ the case in Ohio. However that may
be the labor struggles combined with
the other unsatisfactory conditions
have caused decrease in the output
Of Ohio mines in 1914. compared with
1913, OF about 40 per cent, larger de-
crease than is reported by any other
coal-mining State. The production for
1914 will not be much if any more than
20, 100000 tons, whereas in 1913 it
amounted to 36,200,527 short tons.

that the seating capacity OF the Cob

and more tickets could have been cls-
posed Of had there been room. Secure
your tickets early. Another new feature
should be born in mind, that the ban
quet is TO be open to the ladies' The
Board recognizes the fact that the ladies'
of the city have at various times rem
dered valuable aid TO the Board and this
fact is duly appreciated.
The Schubert Ladies orchestra OF Port
| land has been engaged for the banquet
en5 EaZZards band will probably be
there so that the musical end of the
affair will be in admirable hands. The
following speakers have already been
secured: Hon. Ira G. Hersey, president

PROVED HIS THEORY.
Tragic Climax in a Murder Trial, but
1t Saved the Accused.

The acme of realism was reached.
though by accident, in a criminal trial
that took place a number Of years ago
at Lebanon. o.
Two men had a personal encounter.
One Of them after vainIy trying to
draw his pistol from his hip pocket
turned to flee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small Of the back One
chamber of his pistol was found to
have been fired. His assailant was
tried for murder.
The defense contended that the man
had shot himself while trying to draw
his pistol. which had become entangled
in the lining Of the pocket and that
the prisoner shot had not taken effect.
The prosecution commended that such
& wound could not have been self in
f,icted.
The defendants counsel, Clement L.
Vallandigham, undertook to demon
strete to the jury just how the dead
mans pistol had hung in the pocket
and just how possible it was to infiict
such a wound. Suddenly there was a
loud report, and the lawyer sank to
the floor. The ball had entered the
back almost in the identical spot
where the dead man had been shot.
!. The defendant was acquitted. Mr.
Vallandigham died.-Exchange.
