stocks to administer we'll meritcd

the audacity to contract for the

not often accompanied by q flare Of
trumpets.,.

 MINES QUIT.
tBy the Associated pressl

Indianapolis, April 1.-Internation- al headquarters of the United Mine Workers today eagerly awaited word as to the completeness of the shut down of coal mines of the country, ordered in the unions decree to strike.
 At least 600,o00 men, 100000 of them non-union workers, were expect ed to walk out in response to the de- cree.
 Preliminary reports to heaquarters indicate that few operators who con- duct their mines on the close shop basis, hope to continue operation and probably will make no effort to this end.
 For the first time in the history of the coal industry, union men claim, both anthracite and bituminous mines have been tied up simultaneously.

Sewing, running a boarding house,

has regained her self-respect and dig
nifty by being with people who want
her. instead Of a hanger-on of one

of tho optimists who hold that there
Is any resurrection OF affection. /
think that dead love II the dead
est of all dead things, and that when
a fire has burned itself out there is
no reminding OF tho gray ashes.
When a woman finds out she has
lost her allure for a man; when he
no longer thrills at her touch. or
yearns for her presence; when he
sees her as a burden upon his back
instead OF the object OF his desires
then she In wise II she kisses love
good bye. and nails the coffin down
over It's face, and goes about seeking
her happiness In some other direc-
ton, instead of wasting timo vainly
trying to galvanizc a corpse into some
semblance OF life.
OF course IL Is true that II a woman
Is Job-like enough 10 wait patiently
through the years. keeping the home
fires burning, the wandering husband
may come back at last to have his
rheumatism nursed in his old age, but
he isn't worth waiting for. and a
woman should do something better
with her life than make OF It a house

But what shall / do?" asks the
woman. II don't want divorce"
Yet It seems 10 me that the only
thing that a woman can do under
the circumstance Is TO sell her hus-
band a divorce. and to make him buy
his freedom OF her at the very high
est price that she can possibly wiring
out Of him. And get cash on the nail.
Unless a man has real estate 1t is

out her interest In him, as making the
best OF a bad bargain. She had as
well face the facts that her matrimo-
NAL partnership is bankrupt anyway
and that she had better salvage what
she can.
Then let her turn her back upon
the past and start a new life. Let her

"Oh, did not run" corrected Jim
ME. Il just meandered towards a
clump of bushes under tree, and by

coming on the run.
II was well hidden when he reached

II can easily understand how he
could be fooled" said Mr.. Fox, be-
ginning 10 see the joke on Mr.. Dog.
Well you never saw such hopping
and skipping as Mr.. Dog did under
that tree and never once did he look
anywhere but up in the tree branches
trying TO get a glimpse of that black

climbed up there 10 escape him.
