pa cot Hle Coal.

The following story is vouched for by the representative of one of the largest coal interests in this city:
 "An ingenious scheme was put through recently by fairly well-to-do citizen in New York who was at his wits end to replenish his depleted coal supply. having been turned down on re- heated orders. Putting on an old suit of clothes he made application for position as coal driver at one of the principal yards in his immediate local ity. As there is a great scarcity of help to move coal at present, owing to the rigors of the cold spell, he was ac- cepted without a minutes delay and was intrusted with cart of coal and also with the bill of the same, on the haSis of immediate cash from the GUS toner whose legitimate order had been filled. The self-styled coal driver made remarkably quick time with his load which he straightway deposited in his own cellar. He returned in due course to the coal yard. turned over the cash and forthwith resigned his job as be- ing too ardu6us for his taste.-Finan- cial America.

Equally Enlightened.

Considerable importance is attach ed to the opinion of fish dealers in ref erence to the habits of fish. When they argue that six laws, less rigidly enforced. will assure the supply, men not familiar with the subject at once infer, that they ought to know, and probably do know, what they are talk ing about It would be equally fair to expect the dealer in cotton goods to know the growth habits of cotton. Fish in storage, so far as the commer- cial agent is concerned are the fin ished product. and it by no means fol lows that those dependent upon fish for a livelihood seek exact information relative to migration, spawning grounds and other technical data. Ask your dry goods salesman to tell you the life history of cotton, or the pc culiaritles of bOll weevil-in the ma iority of cases what he says on these subjects will be as trustworthy and convincing as what the fish dealer says about mackerel and reddish.

 "Well, Caesar" asked his surprised relative, "what do you mean7 'Et tu, BruteY Are you play-acting, my dear?"
 "Oh, Aunt Margaret, I came to you for help and I find you in the tolls of the arch-villain of the age. See that man over there7" pointing a scornfuI finger at the photograph. "He has won Airline from me; SalIie and Peg gie are his victims. tOo-and then you. Oh, Auntie, dear, how could you be so deceived?"
 Come" said his aunt, "s1t beside me-" She led him to a sofa. "NOw tell me all about it."
 Paul told her of his love for Airline, and that he had been sure his love was returned until he saw the picture on the table. He told of seeing the same likeness In the homes of Sallfe and Peggie.
 "Then here, Aunt Margaret. I came ID dSk your dlu HI uHOSSSAFAA8 tAcSC girls; to let them know to what kind of man they have given their hearts. This Is more than I can bearw

FLEW THE HEBREW STANDARD
Flag Not Often Seen Is Raised With the Immortal Emerald Banner
 of Ireland.

At the FunSten fur exchange, St. Louis, during the course of midwinter sales, 1t was noted that the flag of the United States, Canada, Great Britain and her allies were prominently dis played. The great Jewish dealers who attend the sales from all parts of the world decided that the Hebrew stand ard, the oldest flag In the world, was entitled to its place in the display; and to that end a committee of the most prominent Hebrew furriers ordered one, beautiful white silk flag, with double blue star in the center. The white silk Is emblematic of purity; and the double blue star of truth and f1del- ity. With few appropriate words A. M. Ahern announced the presenta- ton of the flag to the exchange; and amid the plauditS of almost four hun dred dealers. the flag was slowly and impressively unfurled from the stand. The applause and cheering lasted a full five minutes, everybody joining heartily.
 Not to be Outdone, the Irish mem bers got together, and their committee ordered an equally handsome Irish standard. Mir Ahern made the pres entatiOn speech from the stand and again everybody applauded with might and main as the Irish flag, emerald green with golden harp, was unrolled on the other side of the stand.
 The general comment was that all the nationalities were glad to see the two flags floating together; and many a one hummed under his breath--or above it- that old-time Weber-Fields ditty: If it wasn't for the Irish and the Jews.''
 Each flag bore handsome 'streamers of red, white and blue ribbons.

TwENTY-FoUR HOUR CLOCK
Swiss Association Goes on Record as Favorlnu Change That Has Had
 Many Advocates.

It has been argued from time to time for many years that the sensible way to measure time would be by using a 24-hOur clock instead of dividing the day into 12-hour periods, as has been the custom from the time modern clocks began to be built. It Is consid- cred that this would be especially de sirable for railroads, as it would avoid confusion between a. m. and D. m. and make the understanding of time tables much easier.
 Now it Is reported that the Swiss Association for Geophyslcs, Meteor ology and Astronomy has petitioned the government to adopt the 24-hour clock as the official means of meas uring the day. The general staff of the Swiss army, directors of the fed eral post office and the telegraph and customs departments of the govern ment have expressed themselves in ia. vor of the change.

A WOMAN'S BACK
The Advice of This Stafford Springs
 Woman is of Certain Value.

Many a woman's back has many aches and pains.
 Ofttimes 'tis the kidneys fault
 That's why Doan's Kidney Pills are so effective.
 Many Stafford Springs women know this.
 Read what one has to say about it:
 Mrs. Charles Fregeau, >87 Westford Ave, says: ''I suffered from backaohe off and on for five years. Every little cold settled on my kidneys and the least bit of exertion caused my back to ache terribly. There were times my back was so bad, had to go to bed. I couldn't stoop without being seized by pains and could scarcely straighten up. At night my back pained me so much I couldn't sleep we'll. I took medicine, but got no relief until I began using Doan g Kidney Pills when the trouble dis appeared. When my back feels a little weak now, I use DOan's Kidney Pills and they soon make me better.
