Destroyed Builders Bills.

Nobody ever will know how much
the great palace of Versailles cost
France under the reign of its builder,
Louis XIV. Louis became badly scared
when he received the bills, because he
had heard a good deal about some dis
turbers who were whispering that even
king had no right to spend so much
money for palace to house his friends
when the nation over which he ruled
was starving. So Louis did what many
a purchaser of expensive hats has
donessince-tore up the bills and burn
ed them before anybody could look
them over.

Real Heart of Paris.

The Place de la Concorde is almost
more the heart of Paris than the Place
de POpera. In it the famous Rue de
Rivoli ends and the Champs Elysees
begins. 1t is the true termination of
the Grandes Boulevardes, for Parish
ans consider the Rue Royale as part of
that celebrated chain of wide cafe
lined Streets 1t is one of the most
important and by far the most beau
tiful of the many places" from which
the main streets of Paris radiate.

AIbatross Wonderful Flyer.

The albatross spends its life, with
the exception of few weeks given
each year to nesting, entirely at sea,
and is on the wing practically all the
time. Furthermore, it does not pro-
gress by Tapping its wings, as most
birds do, but seems to soar at will, rare
ly, if ever, giving stroke of the wing,
seeming to need no impetus. At nest
ing. time, which is early in the year,
the albatross repairs to an isolated is
land, such as one of the Crozet is
lands, in the southern Indian ocean, or
Tristan da Cunha, in the South At
lantic ocean.

CAROL SINGING AT CHURCH OF
OUR SAVIOUR.

There has been for a number Of years
an attempt at the revival Of the ancient
custom Of carol singing. The older
countries abound in memories of
s'Waits, - Mumpers' and like bands
of singers who went from place to place
singing the simple carols of praise. I'm
like the usual hymns the carol proper
breathes the message Of Christmas,
*EPcacc on earth and goodwill toward
men, Who does not treasure the
thrill Of the story in "Good King
Wencclaso'' Whose heart does not
respond with warmer glow to the
"Adeste Fidclcs!' These bring the
spirit of Christmas near, awakening a
responsive chord in every heart.
The augmented choir of the Church
of Our Saviour again this year is Civ
inc a carol service on Christmas eve.
The choir will be assisted by stringcd
and wood instruments. Those who wish
to sing will be: made heartily welcome
to practice with the choir. The idea
is a community one and it is hoped that
as many as possible will take advantage
of this revival of carol singing here by
being present on the eve of Christ s ma
tivitiy to welcome Him, through Whom

THE MAIL SITUATION
ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENER-
AL SAYS COMPLAINTS WILL
RECEIVE ATTENTION.

Postmaster Brick and Assistant Post
master Brown are taking turns this
week in accompanying the city carriers
over their routes, this being one of the
times of the year when mail delivery on
the routes is checked. 1t appears that
the amount of mail to be delivered ON
some Of the routes cannot be delivered
according to schedule and in fact not
at all in the required time allowed per
day, especially when the mail is as
heavy as at present. The check is
showing all the more the necessity of
additional carriers.
In answer to complaints by citizens
and the Board Of Commerce in regard to
the system installed, due to recommen-
dations Of inspectors recently, which
matter is mentioned in another column,
the first assistant postmaster general
sent telegram to the Board Of Com
merce Wednesday afternoon, stating
that the matter will receive immediate
attention.

COAL STRIKE OVER
OPERATION OF THE COAL MINES
WILL BE RESUMED AT
ONCE,

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 1.-THE min
ers' strike is ended. With but one dis
senting vote the general committee of
the United Mine Workers of America,
In session here this afternoon, accepted
President Wilson s proposal for immed-
late return to work pending final set
tlement Of their wage controversy with
operators by commission to be ap-
pointed by him.
Men Ordered Back to Work.
kilograms were sent out tonight to
the 1000 locals Of the union by inter-
national officials Of the miners, in
structing the men to return to work i'm
mediately. Full instructions with re-
gard to the agreement will be sent out
tomorrow evening.
Operators tonight predicted full re-
sumption Of operations Friday and ship.
ments Of coal from the mines beginning
Monday morning.
Miners, operators and government
officials alike were highly gratifed over
the settlement tonight and all sides ap-
pearad confident Of final settlement
of the fight by the commission.
Tie-up Of Over Five Weeks Ends.
The action today ends a tie-up of the
coal industry Of more than five weeks
duration and which was more far-reach-
ing in it's effects than any other in the
history of the country. AS result of
the strike the country was fast ap-
.proaching a shutdown of industry and
widespread suffering among its 100000
900 inhabitants.
Decision of the miners came after
many hours Of debate, in which the
radical element in the general commit
tee made incendiary speeches against
operators and others interested in set
tlement Of the strike and for time
threatened to defeat efforts to settle
the strike at this time. The cOnserva-
tive element, led by Acting President
John L. Lewis and Treasurer
Green, gained control of the situation
this morning and succeeded in putting
down practically all opposition by the
time the question came to a vote.
