SHE HAD MAYNARD DAUGHTER
Neighbor Was Surprised When She
Found Cause of Severe Rebuke
Administered by Mother.

A lady living in large apartment
house relates the following:
II had occasion one day to visit the
apartment of neighbor. Such grave
and earnest tones of remonstrance
reached my ears, as approached my
friends room, that / hesitated about
intruding. l found her winsOme young
daughter with her, and the mother had
evidently been rebuking her, for the
girls face was flushed, and there were
tears in her eyes.
"Come in," said my friend. 'T have
finished what / was saying to Jenny,
and l hope she will remember my
wishes"
"Ah, these children = these chill
dren! !' thought to myself.
II have just been telling her." con-
tinued my friend, that she must not
wear her evening gloves when she goes
shopping in the morning. In the first
place, it is not genteel; and in the
second place, it is extravagant."
Her evening gloves And yet, as
sure you, her tone and expression, and
the impression made on the child,
would have befitted serious wrong
doing--one that had issues in time
and eternity.

| Washington-Inui that the
government is preparing to take con-
troll OF the coal industry were strength
ened when President Wilson paid a
visit to the Federal Trade Commits
sion and went over with its members
estimates of coal production costs and
recommendations for dealing with the
situation completed by the commits
sion after months of investigation.
Definite action to reduce prices to the
consumer and to bring about a better
distribution, it was learned, will be
taken.
Before going to the Trade Commits
sion the President called on Herbert
Hoover, named to administer the food
act, in which are provisions for con-
troll of coal; Attorney General Greg
ory and Judge Robert S. Lovett, Of
the War Industries Board, who, it is
understood will be given powers vest
ed in the executive in recent law
governing priority Of railroad ship
ments.
The President is deeply concerned
over the coal situation. Even repre-
sentatives of the operators admit that
parts of tie country face a shortage
this winter, and from the public COM
plants are pouring in that prices are
out of all reason. The fact that sew
eral governors are threatening to
take over the industry in their states
is prompting early federal action.
Three courses are open to the Pres
ident. Under the food bill he may fix
prices at the mines and to consumers,
or he may direct some government
agency to requisition the output of all
mines, selling it to the public. The
third course would contemplate a vol
untary agreement by operators to sell
at fair price, with the government
directing distribution.

A Good Comeback.

Tom Moore, the poet, was the son
Of Dublin grocer. Without any push
ing on his part his genius and his un-
affected manner made him welcome
guest everywhere. All London went
mad over him. On one occasion at a
banquet he had made some brilliant
witticisms. A snob, thinking to humil-
late him, leaned over the table to the
poet and quite audibly said, in drawl-
ing tone:
"Pway, sir, wasn't yuor father
grossah?"
Moore smilngly replied that he was.
Then, pway," continued the snob,
"why didn't he make a grossah Of
your"
Moore quite affably retorted,
Wasn't your father a gentleman?'
"Of course he was" was the rejoin-
der.
'Then why" queried Moore, didn't
he make gentleman of you?"
