wOODMAN SPARE THAT TREE

n great big trt e grows by our house,
It's been there quite sometime;
The trees slippery-elm tree
And very hard to climb,
But when my wife takes after me,
High in the tree l roost,
goes up ike healthy squirrel,
And never needs no boost.
The otherday woodman come to
chop my refuge down
And split it into kindling wood, and
peddle round the town;
/ says, my friend, pray thee cease,
desist, refrain, stop;
Lay down thy forest razor, chop not
a single chop
Chorus
Woodman, woodman, spare the tree
Tough not a single "bo-v"
For years it has protected me,
And III perteckt it now,
Chop down an oak, birch or pine
But spare that slippery elm O. mine;
It's the only three that my wife can't
climb
Woodman spare that tree.
] say My friend, you see that hole
Up near the old tree top,
Right there's five dollars that's yours
If you'll refrain to chop.
No beast but me can climb the tree
! Cause it's toe slippery,
And l can't get up very well myself
Les my wife gets after me;
But you call my wife and III cali her
Some worry naughty word,
And then you'll see me give
An imitation Of bird;
You may not know just where to so
Whenny wife comes around
But if you don't remember this,
If I'm not on the ground.
Chorus
Woodman, woodnnan, spare the tree
Touch not single bough
Then III drop down thefive to thee
That is, the one l promised thou.
Please make thy iron axe behave
That slippery elm must be saved
Cause it's the border line'twe me
and the grave
Woodman, spare it for me.

SHIPMENTS. OF COAL IN APRIL.
 SATISFACTORY

Demand for anthracite is so much beyond what it used to be that deal CTS find themselves loaded up with orders which it will take considerable time to fill. The April shipments of anthracite amounted to 6,368,372 tons, an increase of 776,074 tons, or about IA per cent. over those of the corresponding month of last year.
 With the output of 77,0O0,OOO tons, last year, it is anticipated with the working energy now in force that this years total output may reach S0,O00,000 tons a gain of 5000, 0,000 tons of coal that will do much to meet the still increasing demands for an- thracite.
 There are enough cars available to move anthracite as currently pro- 6uced and the Anthracite Committee of the U. S. Fuel Administration is fairly and equitably distributing the output Coal should be ordered now.
 New England shipments have been limited only by embargoes which have been intermittent on the New Haven railroad and quite steady on the Bos- ton and Albany for two weeks CT more.

Each of the little vessels will be passed along by powerful machinery from one group of workmen to another and, as it passes, each group will add some thing to the boat.

HERZEGOVINA AND BOSNIA, AUSTRIA, HIT HARD BY WAR

London, May 15.---A graphic picture of the terrible economic distress pre- Vailing in Bosnia and Herzegovina is published by the newspaper G1aslo- boda of Agram, Austria. The paper declares that only two provinces in the Austrian empire have suffered more terribly from the war than Bos- mia and Herzegovina.
 Those two provinces" it says, "are Galicia and Bukowina, which were the cockpits of great conflicts be- tween the Austrian and Russian ar mics. Nevertheless, the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is terrible.
 Entire districts of eastern Bosnia and the whole of the eastern part of Herzegovina are today depopulated and devastated regions which look as if a terrible typhoon had visited them with it's devilish destruction. A great number of inhabitants were deported and have since died in internment camps. Those who remained were massacred by Austrian soldiers. In other districts the population is dying of starvation"
