HARD THING is re "RETURN"
MANY Will Understand the Trials ct
Congressman in Taking Up His
Old Profession.

In the American Magazine is an IN
terview with a member Of the United
States house of representatives, who
tells Of the almost impossible barriers
between him and his old profession,
the law.
After l had been in congress a
couple of terms I decided that / would
be happier and that my family would
be vastly better off if I were back
home practicing my profession" he
said. $50 after the adjournment Of
congress 1 set out to rebuild my neg
lected law business.
T was astonished at what job it
was. My practice was not merely run
down or temporarily absent. 1t was
gone! Now, I had not yet become
a topnatcher in my profession before
going to congress. In order to make
comfortable income had not been
able to depend alone on the better
grade of legal business, but was still
obliged to do some of the more trivial
work such as every young lawyer IS
glad to get. This class Of business
had gone from me in my absence,
along with the rest. And it did not
come back, because of a reason that
I had not thought of. During my term
in congress I had come to be looked
upon as an important figure in the
community and everybody regarded
me as above such things as perform
ing legal services Of trivial or minor
character. Thus I did not get the
small business and the big business
was being taken care Of by other
lawyers who had been constantly on
the job,"

Mrs. Wilson's Lack of JeWe!ry.

One of the things that Washington
is noticing about Mrs. Wilson is the
Fact that she, the owner of JeWelry
business that has been established for
a century, wears almost no jewelry
herself. One really handsome orna-
ment seems to be about all she cares
for even on state occasions. and most
frequently she wears none. People
observed, with grin Of rather mali
cious delight, that the president went
to St. Margaret's with Mrs. Wilson
one Sunday. 1t was the first time, and
downed the rumor that he was too
good a Presbyterian to go inside an
Episcopal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Let

Earliest Coal Mining In Alabama.

The earliest known record Of the
existence Of coal in Alabama was
made in 1884, but the first statement
of production in the state is contained
in the United States census report
for 1910, in which the amount mined is
given as 946 tons. The mines Of Ala
bama were probably worked to a con-
siderable extent during tho Civil war,
but there are no specific records until
1870, for which the United States cen
sus reports a production OF 1lGOO
tons. The development of the present
great industry really began il 1881
and 1882, VIXEN attention was directed
to the large iron deposits near the city
of Birmingham. BY 1885 the coal pro-
duct:on of the state had increased to
nearly 2,5O0,O00 tons. In 1914, accord
ing to the United States Geological
survey, tie production was 1888, ,422
tons.

paIner on MunitioneCookery.

Frederick Palmer, the war CORE

They say a girl was talking one
day at tea about her ammunition fac
tory work.
"'Oh,' she said, it's just as easy
as anything to make a high explosive

Eel Caught in Chimney.

While fishing in Kiamesna lake w.
J. Groom caught a big eel incased in
a lamp chimney, from which it could
not free itself.
Two years ago Mr.. Groom had
caught the eel in a net at night, and
when taken on shore it knocked over
a table lamp, ran through the chimney
and escaped into the lake, the glass
inclosing the head and several inches
Of the eel. Although the lake is wide,
deep and stony, the glass was not
even Clipped. The chimney had worn
a deep groove in the body of the eel,
which measured nearly five feet

Be Generous in Praise.

There are occasions when speech is
golden, rather than silence, and when
an encouraging word would be Of more
value than the richest material gift.
Some persons are far too much afraid
of the effect of a little generous and
well.timed praise. They would keep
al! their flowers in an icehouse. Let
ting a little sunshine upon them at
times would not be amiss:-Dr. A.
