Whether down in the coal mine; solid and

Or wandering alone in holiday time,
Won the love and respect Of all in that

His earnings, hardly won and small,
Were aye at the orphans and Widows

He was the friend Of all living things.
And moving along in those toilsome ways
He wore the demeanor Of gentler days
In April last. when the mine fell IN,
Beneath the timbers stood Gentleman Jim.
With giant grasp he flung two Of the
boys
Clear Of the danger with deafening noise
The shaft gave way on every side.
The boys were safe, but .Jim-he died;
Died as men die. and will die again,
Giving their lives for their fellow men.

And Jim borne up to the light Of day.

the formation Of coal and, though un-
doubtedly in the right. was ultimately
vanquished by the arguments and ora

master Of tongue fence than himself.
Next morning while pondering over his
defeat in the solitude Of the garden he
was accosted by Sir William Follett
and confided to that gentleman the
story Of his failure.
Sir William, acquainted with the de-
tails Of the matter in dispute. agreed
to take up the case and soon after
ward attacked DR.. Buckland on the
subject. A long discussion ensued, In
which the man Of law completely ST.
fenced the man Of science, who was
at last compelled to own himself van
quished. Sir Robert Peel highly
amused at this example Of "tit for
tat" then turned to the inventor and
inquired, with a laugh:
"And what do you say on this mat

"Why," he replied, II will only say
this-that Of all the powers above and

WIDTH OF BENNING ROAD
is UNDER CONSIDERATION
Condemnation Proceedings to Start
as Soon as Commissioners De-
eide Upon 10 OF 100 Feet.

Decision as to whether Benning road
should be widened to 10 or I20 feet
will be reached by the District Com
missioners within a few days. Their
recommendation viii be made to the
highway commission and, if approved
condemnation proceedings will be insti-
tuted without delay. Discovery of a
defect in the highway plans caused
withdrawal of condemnation proceed
ings looking toward the widening Of
the road to 10 feet and resulted in the
question being raised as to whether Il
100 foot width would not be more prac-
ticable.
The question was discussed at pub
lie hearings last week and yesterday
afternoon. At both hearings : K.
Bowen. secretary of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, urged
the 12d-fOot width
He said Congress had given the com
pany permanent use of the thirty-foot
strip of land along Beuning road which
is occupied by its tracks If the l20-
foot width is adopted. Nh Bowen point
ed out it viii not be necessary to re
move the tracks as they would be in
the center Of the proposed highway,
but the 1l6-foot width would nec"ssl-
tate moving them five feet TO get TO the
center of the road This would involve
a cost to the company of more than
$s0,000.
Others who appeared at tn" hearing
Yesterday afternoon were Nathaniel
Wilson, owner Of property along Ben
