HousehoGers in the Middle West, hitherto accustomed 10 the use of an- thracite coal, were placed on reduced allotments of hard coal this winter in order that rho southeastern section of the country might have its customary full supply.
 With distribution facilitated through the working ur the zone system, the amount of hard coal available ap- peared 10 be more than ample for re- quirements. Tho anthracite miners had maintained a steady level of pro- duction during suInmcr and fall months which seemed To provide con servntive basis for estimates.
 A tremendous slump Tn production followed the sweep of the influenza epi- demic, however. Hundreds of miners fell III from the disease. and of those who recovered few were ahle 10 reach their former efficiency within several weeks.
 The "tons mined" figures, after a slight upward trend from the worst of the 'fu"l effects, fell again when tho miners joined hands with the rest of the country fin the two celebrations of the signing of the armistice.
 Between the two causes, the total anthracite production figures received

he acted frightened and humble, and when I patted him uttered a jolly growl, turned a somersault and stood on his head"
 "You don't mean it!"
 "Come, I'll show you."
 Dale led the way to the qua .ouse. Outside of it was gathered noisy group. Half way up the f1agpole was great shaggy monster who cleverly reversed himself, slid to earth, turned a dozen graceful somersaults and walked around On his hind feet.
 "Oh, we'll put him on our vaude- vile program as the one leading at- traction tomorrow !" voted dozen ob- servers. "What's the rowi" as cheer ing echoed from the other end of the encampment From a dust-covered, battered automobile two men were throwing off packages.
 "Belated mail," announced the driver. "Section A. Throw off the plunder. men, and you hungry fellows grab and distribute"
 Boxes, packages, tied-up bundles of newspapers and letters passed from hand to hand. Roy Bartley was most active in the work of sorting out the heterogeneous mass.
 Something for you, Dale," he called, 'I say," inspecting the marks on the box" it's been up and down the whole battle line!"
 'See if there isn't letter" directed Dale, placing the box beside a tent, and his eyes, were eager and hopeful. Doubtless the box held remembrances from some home group, but his soul was hungry for something more prized.
 "NOthing for you" called out Roy, running over the letters in his hand. "Hey! look out for your boxI"
 Roy spoke just in time. Old Bruin, unnoticed, had been snifling intrusive ly at the box. Then he had paved it., his claws piercing the frail pasteboard. He sniffed again, uttered a satisfied grunt, and, seizing 1t in his powerful jaws, shook 1t.
 "Whoop! a fruit cakel" yelled a watchful soldier, and grasped it as it rolled to the ground. "HurrahI'
 Some knitted socks and a dozen lit- tie packages tied up with ribbon fell out of the shattered receptacle. Dale uttered a sharp gasp. Among them was letter. He snatched 1t up and, aflush and quivering, secreted 1t in his pocket quickly.
 But not for long. When he had di- vided the cake among his importunate comrades and gathered up the num- berless mementoes from home, he got to his tent speedily. He opened the precious missive, his eyes sparkled, he Xxi: it fervently and his face fairly Shnne.

 "Oh, brought in a captive" was his careless reply. "Ran into the skulker, marched him into camp and left him in the guard house. Any letters2"
 "Nary a letter. They say the mail packs here are four days overdue, but they're rushing holiday stuff to the camps"
 Dale Webster sighed and his face grew wistful. i've been expecting one letter particularly. You're my friend, Roy?"

 "Well, one night in a dugout I just couldn't help but write her way back home there what ought to have said to her before we left. Three months. and no word. I fancy I was too pre- sumptuous.

 Don't lose hope" encouraged Roy Bartley. "One of the fellows just got letter written by his sweetheart last i September. It has been chasing him all over the frontier.

The Old Year and the New

The Old Year sat beside the hearth, Tn thoughtful mood; the hour was late: And ere he vanished from the earth, The past he fain would contemplate. 'T brought a wealth of joy for those Who had o'erburdened been with grief," He said, ''and for unnumbered woes Furnished the cordial of relief ITO some gave gardens bloom, Sweet pansies and forget-me-nots; To some the cypress and the tomb The barrenness of desert spots. With love tarried for while Breathing the sweet Elysian air; And bidding Hope serenely smile Across the threshold of Despair. "I entered on my natal hour Burdened alike with bliss and bane, Commissioned by my Lord to dover Some hearts with ease, and some with
 pain, tt-.. Where happiness had rich increase: I shall be honored long, I know; But those I robbed of joy and peace They will be glad to have me gol "T've followed many a bridal train; Have watched by many a lonely bier: With birth and death, with loss and gain, Made up the record of the year. And now beside December's gate Where hangs the years alarum bell, pause to scan the past and wait The sound of my own funeral knell. ''one!-TIow the hours have slipped awayi Two!-Some will weep with sore re-
 gret;
 Three!-Could I still on earth delay Fourl--Some good I might accomplish
 yet.
 Five!-An angelic song awoke! Six!-Surely are the letters riven. Seven!-Soon I shall, hear the final stroke Eight!-Chime sweetly with the clock of
 heaven!
 Nine!-+I am nearer to my goali Ten!--Time must eternity beginl Eleven!-Awake, immortal soul! Twelve!-Farewell! and let the New Year

 "I come the Old Years debts to payi I come his promises to keep; To walk upon the worlds highway, And deck the grave where dear cnes
