china,s Abundant Coal.

The coal fields of China, now rough
Iy surveyed, are estimated to be as
large as all the coal lands of North
America. Coal occurs In most OF the
provinces of China proper and in near
ly every province of Manchuria.
Shansi is a province Of China proper
scarcely 300 miles from Tientsin, the
mort of Picking, with which 1t has rail-
way connection. The coal fields OF
this province underlie about 3oooo
square miles of territory, and, accord
ing to British authorities, several Oh
the coal seams are 20 feet or more IN
thickness. Much Of the coal of Shansl
is anthracite of excellent quality, ana
il is estimated that these deposits con-
stitute about four-ffths Of the WORLDS
supply of hard coal.

w.,re All LopsIded.

There is scarcely man or woman
who has not one shoulder a little
lower than the other. The low
shoulder is generally the right, for the
droop is caused by using one hand ana
arm more than the other. Usually
the muscles of the right side of the
body are better developed than those
of the left; but curiously enough, the
left foot is often larger than the right
AS a rule. the right eye is better than
the left. while If we wish to eaten
an ino,stinct sound, 1t is always the
right ear that we turn towards IT,
This neglect of the left side has MADE
II less robust than the right. Diseases
which affect the ears. eyes, nose OF
legs occur far more frequently on the
weak side than on the more developed
right.

when she was twenty. When he sug-
gested spin one night and she ac-
cepted, Harth set his racer streaming
toward the lonely highway known to
Knoxville's sporty set as Lovers
Lane"
There, they said, she Ailed him.
She was tried, convicted and sentenced
to q years in the penitentiary.
Then She Fled.
Though a higher court granted a
new trial she flung a few clothes into
her bag at her mothers home and
stumbled into the darkness.
Rarely in long list of famous man
hunts has there been such hue and
cry as followed. Her two bondsmen,
r. E. Boring and Edward McNew,
facing forfeiture of $4,000, spurred
the chase, which soon became a clamOr-
ing wolf pack on Maude MoOres trail.
In the first moment of her fight she
determined to blot out Maude Moore
as completely as nature would let her.
The glossy black hair was shipped
away. The surviving curls were given
peroxide bath that bleached them
yellow. Hours were spent in perfect
ing mincing walk in place of the old
tree stride. The musical cOntralto
died; in its stead was born a nasa

Something TO
Think Ab0ut
D., Z n MIR YEU
SOME INFLUENCES
By r. II. WALKER

TN THESE days of doing big things.
which cannot be done properly
without putting into them the hard
est kind of work, accompanied with
undertaking concentration of thought,
there Is disposition among certain
classes of employees to allow disturb
Ing influences to belittle their eff
cheney.
Trifing as these retarding breaks
may seem to the young man or wom-
an who is inclined to entertain them.
If not overcome, they soon become
formidable barriers in blocking the
way to progress.
The thoughts of last nights rollick-
ing play or gay dances, as they come
trooping before you In the morning
when you take your place at your
desk, may unfit you for the days
work.
Under their influence your mind
wanders, eludes control and places
you at a positive disadvantage with
the man or woman who is able to think
Clearly duu udht every otIoho Nouhe'
Columns of figures refuse to prove
themselves; words are misspelled;
hands tremble and nerves Jingle. In
your dismay you wonder what has
come over your usual placidity.
At the next desk is worker twice
as much In earnest and not one-quar-
ter so furried. This timidity of yours
is proof of the presence of disturbing
influences, which are digging pitfalls
about your feet and leading you
blindfolded to the brink.
The very flexibuity and ease with
which this is done, fall to arouse your
suspicion until In some way or another
you sense that you are standing on
precarious base, in imminent danger
Of topping over.
And thousands Of others like you,
through disturbing influences, are
standing helpless at the brink, discon-
certed and miserable.
Yesterday you and they were GER
tain of the future.
Today everything Is in doubt, sim
ply because Of the lack Of sufficient
will-power to drive frivolous thoughts
from the mind and to step down on
the solid ground Of common sense.
And these same disturbing infiu-
ences have been fooling with mankind
since the foundation Of the world

WE ALL GIVE ADVICE

We all give advice to the man who Ia
down
And sing about snnshiny days:
We tell him laugh will get rid of the
frown
And beckon sunbeams through the haze.
But sometimes the blue ones a person
called "me"
And the rough way seems dismal and
long.
Then we ssrsightwsy forget our advice
about glee
And the tune to cor sunshiny song
For it's easier far to tell others to smile
And to point to sunbeams coming
through
When our own world is bright and we're
glad all the while,
But it's harder to smile when you're
blue.
We can see how another is foolish TO pine
When we know our own troubles are
few,
But, oh. II is hard to see the sunshine
And to smile when everythings blue.

Old OIL Well Still Producing.

The oldest oil well that is still pro-
ducing was drilled recently from the
second to the third sand and shot with
40 quarts of nitroglycerin. 1t is re-
spending nicely, its daily production
being ten barrels.
The we'll was drilled in 1860 at Nc
Clintockville, two miles from Oil City,
and its production was supplied to
Henry 81. Rogers, one of the founders
Of the Standard Oil company, when
he and Charles P. Ellis erected a one
still refinery at McClintockville.
Joseph q. Robson, of Oil City, is
present owner of the well and the
350-acre farm on which 1t is situated.

GIRL BETRAYED
BY HER BEAUTY

Knoxville, Tenn.-Maude Moore,
whose beauty betrayed her after
sbe had been a fugitive from justice for
more than a year, is innocent of the
crime of killing Leroy B. Hart. of
which she was accused. A jury has
inst so decreed. 1t was her second
trial.
The verdict of not guilty gives the
dark-haired, gray-eyed young woman
tha freedom for which she risked every
danger and sacrificed all-except her
beauty.
She handed away her liberty with a
-ose In Washington. 1t was after she
had been sought for many months.
Using the name Of Helen Hope, she
had married William Stubs and set
fled in Tacoma like a good little house
wife with a kitchen and garden and
husband who never suspected for
one instant that he had married a girl
who was being hunted the length and
breadth of America as an escaped
fnurderess.
Mrs. william Stubs was pruning
rose bushes when a Tacoma police
man strutted along the street. He
was Just an ordinary policeman with
an Irish laugh and an Irish eye for
every roguish little peach on the beat.
He noticed the quaint white bunga-
low. He observed the bonny beauty
In the sunbonnet. He stopped and
glanced up.
"Have rose?" she asked, cheerfully.
"Sure, and thank you"
Remembered Her Face.
The Irish policeman took away the
rose and the memory of pair of
clear gray eyes, a bee-stung mouth and
a dazzling smile. The memory stayed
with him for hours-until he walked
into headquarters and head-oD COLI
sion with the likeness of the lady of
his thoughts tackled on the wall under
the caption, $4,000 Reward"
When the police came, Mrs. Stubs
confessed she was Maude Moore. They
took her back to Knoxville and to
trial for Leroy Harth's murder.
Maude Moore always had been a
pretty girl. After graduation from
business college she got a job in the
first office she entered, a lawyers.
He beauty-then-was her trump card.
