MINERS CABIN IN CITY.

There are several spots along the

heart Of the white light district the
contractors have erected a miners
cabin. It's no rudely constructed af-

If one take peep in some Of the
subway openings one may see the
mules drawing carloads of stone and
dirt. Farther down Broadway, near
Union Square park, is the place
where the mules come up out of the
black hole for an airing. They pick
their way up the steep sides. and

OkOlOna Industrial
School Commencement.

The 18th annual commencement
sermon of the Okolona Industrial
School was preached last Sunday
at 3 p. m. by Rev. S. B. Myers,
pastor of the Methodist church
at this place, in the College
chapel. The sermon was able,
instructive and intensely practi-
cal. The main idea that ran,
like a thread of gold through the
whole sermon, was be true to
your convictions, anywhere, ev-
erywhere and under all circum-
stances. The lesson was drawn
from the Hebrew children in the
firery furnace, where God took
care of them and brought them
out safely for refusing to obey
the command of King Nebuchad-
nezzar to bow down and worship
a golden image in place of the
true God. Honesty, truthful
ness, and fidelity to principle
are the fundamental stones upon
which all true character is built.
The music for the occasion was
furnished by a choir of about
two dozen trained voices and
they sung in that rich mellow
strain that is chartesistic of the
colored race.
Quite a number of the white
people of the town honored the
occasion with their presence and
took a lively interest in the
services.
It was their ID anniversary and
shows what can be accomplished
BY devotion to a great principle,
when judiciously planned and
backed by good honest hard
work.

WHY THE FIRELleHT DANCES
Scientific Explanation Of Action
Which Has Delighted Countless
Generations Of Youngsters.

Have you ever watched the blaze
in the fireplace dance and flicker?
Of course you have. A little fame
jumps from one piece of coal to an
other and changes color. Sometimes
it seems to go out, and then it comes
back to life in another place.
If the coal were one pure sub
Stance and the air was Supplied in
steady draft, the freight would
not jump and dance that way. But
in the coal there are gases impris-
oned that cannot get out until the
coal begins to break up in the fire.
As these gases escape they burn,
making beautiful flames of different
colors that flicker about over the sur.
face of the coal.
Fire must have air to burn and in
the fireplace the supply of air is
moved by the wind at the top of the
chimney. So sometimes the blow
ing of the wind will make the fire
flicker.
Coke, coal from which the gas has
been removed, is pure carbon. 1t
makes a hot fire but has little or no
flame. Of the fire in a fireplace
large part of the, gases and of the
carbon goes up the chimney unburnt.

is part Of what we have to pay for
