without comm up to find out what's

The AtrOpia that 1 remembered was
so nearly moribund that l didn't won
der it wasn't making any stir in our
behalf; so, when few pattering rife
shots which seemed to originate on
the great bench below began to sift
in among the bomb echoes, l took it
that Fullerton had divided his force
and was trying to rattle us two ways
at once. AS for that, however, the
bigger bOmbardment kept us from
specializing very curiOusly upon any
thing else. Two more of the giant
crackers had fallen to the right of us,
one of them into the wreck of the
blacksmith shop, to send up a spout
ing volcano of scrap which fell sec
: Ond or so later in thunderOus rain;
and then.
For fitting instant it seemed as If
it must drop squarely in front of the
iron shield under which we were
jammed-in which case even the I'M
dertaker wouldn't have been needed
not any Whatsoever as Daddy Hiram
would have said. But at the critical
point in its flight the hurtling thing
''ticked" the top of the hoist frame
and its downward course was defect
ed the needed hair's-breadth, causing
it to come down beyond the machin-
cry, and not on our side of things.
Nevertheless, we were covering in an
ticipatiOn of blast which would most
likely heave the entire machinery ag-
gregation over bodily upon us when
the explosion came.
We saw the belching column of
flame and gas going skyward beyond
the machinery barrier, taking a full
half of the roof with it, as if the blast
had come from the mouth of gigan-
tic cannon. We were dazed and deaf
ened by the shock, and half choked
by the fumes, but neither of us was
so far gone as not to hear distinctly

thunder of small Niagara, coming

peerlng out of its shetland got a
glimpse of the damage done by the in
itial thunderbOlt. We saw it without
any trouble: a great hole torn in the
sheetiron roof directly over the hoist
and shaft mouth. Knowing the use
and effect Of explosives pretty well,
Daddy said that the bomb had gone off
prematurely; had exploded before it
had fairly lighted upon the roof.

we ducked and held our breath--Or at

almost Immediately, and 1t was fol-
lowed In swift succession by a second
and a third. Luckily, none of the
three hit the shaft-house, nor, indeed,
fell very near to it; and this uncer-

was coming from. The bomb throw
ers were posted somewhere on the
steep slope of the mountain above us /;

running up from the brink of the
abrupt cliff overlooking the mine

Berea College ia Campaign to Get
$1,000, 900.

Berea, KY, Dec. 17.-Increase
in the maximum salary of ST.
600 year paid to full professors
and in the pay of assistant pro-
fessors and teachers, and the
meeting of immediate needs of
the institution and pupils, are
the aims of campaign now un.
der way to raise $1,000, 900 for
Berea College, an institution
founded solely for the education
of American Highlanders"
from the southern states. The
fund known as 'Berea College
Necessity Fund" is being raised
under the direction of officials
and alumni of the institution
withsthe advice Of an advisory
board consisting of notable men
and women from all parts of the
United States.
Berea was founded in 1856 for
the purpose of providing educa
ton for mountaineers of Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West
Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and
North Carolina. 1t has never
charged students any tuition and
even in the present days of high
prices board is provided for stu
dents at $2.75 a week and it is
said that students can live at the
college for nine months for $3.50
of which it is possible for him to
earn $50 by working ten hours a
week on the college farm. Twen-
ty per cent of the students earn
all of their expenses during the
year and another twenty per
cent use summer earnings for
school expenses. Fifty.seveD
per cent of the remainder are
partly self-sustaining. There
were 1854 students in Beres
College last year.
Berea provides training of al
kinds. The mountain boy oil
, girl can come to the schoo
and learn farming, nursing,
woodworking, and in fact any
thing that is of use in norma
