ENGLISH INN SIGNS. One That Cast a Reflection on King George 111. One of the last stopping places of the London and Weymouth eonch was at a little Dorset village, whoso, principal hostelry was known as the Ass' Head. So good were the refreshments, so obliging the host and so reasonable the charges that the inn did a thriving trade and was well spoken of through out the district. In oue of George lll.'s visits to Weymouth the royal party stayed at this Inn and had lunch. This was very gratifying to the loyal host, who immediately took down his orig inal signboard and erected a full length painting of the king In Its place. Henceforth the inn should be known as the Royal George. The proprietor of the rival hostelry in the village pur chased the Ass' Head sign for a few shillings and had it placed over the door of his house. Now, It so hap pened that the coachman and guard of the Weymouth coach had been changed on the day this alteration of the signboards took place, and they were both strangers to the district, but their Instructions had been to stop at the Ass' Head, and, seeing the sign on the rival house, they pulled up there. This much annoyed the orig inal owner, who, foreseeing that his pocket might suffer for his loyalty, immediately had nailed to the bottom of the painting of King George a board with these words in large let ters:"This is the origlual Assi"— London I*. T. O. DISCOVERY OF COAL Mentioned by a Jesuit In 1679 and Mined First In 1749. So far as known the first mention of the occurrence of coal in the United States is contained in the journal of Father Hennepin, a Jesuit missionary, who in 1079 recorded a "cole mine" on Illinois river near the present city of Ottawa, 111. Coal was first mined in the Rich mond basin, Virginia, about seventy years after Father Hennepin's discov ery in Illinois, but the first records of production from the Virginia mines were for the year 1822, when, accord ing to one authority, f>4,000 tons were mined. Ohio probably ranks second In prior ity of production, as coal was discov ered there in 1755, but the records of production date back only to 183 S. The mining of anthracite in Pennsyl vania began about 1700, and It is said that fifty-flve tons were shipped to Co lumbia, Pa., in 1807. Reports of the anthracite coal trade are usually begun with the year 1820, when 305 tons, one for each day of the year, were shipped to Philadelphia from the Lehigh re gion. Before this, however, in 1814, a shipment of twenty-two tons was made from Carbondale, also to Philadelphia. It is probable that the actual produc tion prior to 1820 was between 2,500 and ;i,OOO tons.—Washington Star. KEPT HER PROMISE. She Wasn't Much of a Politician, but She Was Truthful. Mrs. Eliot sighed so deeply as she took out her hatpins that her husband looked up from the evening paper. "I don't believe I've any bent for poli tics," she said in response to his in quiring glance. "Every time there's an election of officers of the club I get Into some kind of mess, try as I may to avoid it. "You see, Harry," she continued con fidingly, "I don't really care a fig who Is In. office so long as I'm not. I like jw members very well, and I'd as lief have one as another president or secretary or on committees. "I have no favorites. I'm truly im partial. But that won't work. If you belong to a woman's club you are forc ed to sweat and agonize over candi dates. You must bo partisan or be out with both sides. "You know Mrs. George has been president for four years, and every year Mrs. Tufts has tried to got Mrs. George out and herself in. About a week ago she came to me and said she was sure of the nomination if I would vote for her. Would 1? I thought it over and said I would, for I admire Mrs. Tufts immensely, she is so lovely and charitable. "Today, just before balloting, Edith Reynolds came to nie and said I must vote for Mrs. George. Edith said I owed it to her—you know she helped me make over my blue foulard and canned all those peaches for me when cook burned her hand. "Everybody wanted Mrs. George, Edith said, and if I voted for her she would get the nomination. I thought It over and said I would vote for her. I admire and respect her very much. She is so witty and forcible when she presides, and she speaks French beau tifully, and I thought If everybody wanted her it was only proper that"—' "Do you mean that you promised to vote for both?" interrupted Mr. Eliot. "Yes: I promised Mrs. Tufts, as I have just said, and I promised Edith because" — "But you didn't actually vote for both." "Why, of course I did, Harry. I may not be much of a politician, but I was brought up to keep my word," said Mrs. Eliot, with dignity.—Youth's Com panion. Finger Bowls of Paper. Some enemy of busy housekeepers says finger bowls such as are used in Japau are the newest necessity for the table and "quite a change." The fin ger bowl, which takes time to arrange, Is pretty, however, says the New York Press. It Is a tiny basket made of beautiful straw woven in an ornamen tal design. Inside the basket Is placed a filmy satin paper table napkin print ed with blossoms and twisted into a flowerllke shape. The napkin has been slightly dampened with perfumed wa ter before being put into the basket, the scent corresponding with the de sign. It Is used by the Japanese in stead of dipping their fingers in water. Wireless From Balloons. The Italian government Is carrying out experiments by means of wireless telegraph instruments In war balloons. The weight of the receiving and trans mitting apparatus Is just under one and a half hundred weight and allows ttiessages to be sent sixty miles. statbmkst OK TUB dicioh of i poor OF Danville and Mahoning Poor Dis trict for the Year Ending Jan.

Quaint Illustration of a Peculiar Phase of Human Nature. In "Doc Gordon," by Mary E. Wll klns-Freeiuan, Is a quaint Illustration ; of a peculiar phase of human nature. | It develops with the visits of the two doctors to their poorer patients: | James drove all the morning with Dr. Gordon about the New Jersey country. The country people were either saturnine with on odd shyness, which had something almost hostile In It, or they were effusively hospitable, forcing apple jack upon the two doc tors. James was much struck by the curious unconcern shown }>y the rela tives of the patients and even by the patients themselves. In only one case, that of a child suffering from a bad case of measles, was much interest evinced. The majority of the patients were the very old and middle aged, and they discussed and heard discussed their symptoms with much the same attitude as they might have discussed the mechanism of a wooden doll. If any emotion was shown. It was that lof a singular Inverted pride. "I had a I terrible night, doctor," said oue old woman, and a smirk of self cpnceit j was over her ancient face. "Yes, moth ' er did have an awful night." said her i married daughter, with a triumphant ! expression. Even the children cluster ing about the doctor looked uncon sciously proud because their old grand mother had had an awful night. The call of the two doctors at the house was positively hilarious.. Quantities of old apple jack were forced upon them. The old woman in the adjoining bed room, although she was evidently suf fering, kept calling out a feeble joke in her cackling old voice. "Those people seem positively elated because that old soul is sick," said James when he and the doctor were again in the buggy. "They are," said Dr. Gordon; "even the old woman herself, who knows well enough that she has not long to live. Did you ever think that the desire of distinction was one of the most, per hnps the most, intense purely spiritual emotion of the human soul ? Look at the way these people live here, grub bing away at the soil like ants. The most of them have in their lives just three ways of attracting notice, the momentary consideration of their kind —birth, marriage, sickness and death. | With the first they are hardly actively concerned; even with the second many have nothing to do. There are more ! women than men, as usual, and, al though the women want to marry, all the men do not There remains only sickness and death f'»r a standby, so to speak. If one of them is really sick and dies, the people are aroused to take notice. The sick person and the corpse have a certain state and dignity which they have never ..ftained before. Why, bless you, man,l have one pa tient. a middle aged woman, who has been laid t v .|> for years with rheuma tism, and she is fairly vainglorious, and so Is her mother. She brags of her in valid daughter. If she had been mere ly an old maid on her hands, she would have been ashamed <>f her, and the wo man herself would have been sour and discontented. But she has fairly mar ried rheumatism. It has been to her as a husband and children. I tell you, young man, one has to have his little footstool of elevation among his fel lows, even if it is a mighty queer one, or he loses his self respect, and self respect Is the best Jewel we have." Boat Club on a University Csmpus. President Judson of Chicago univer sity met with twenty or thirty of the university's alumni the other night at the Harvard club in New York. lie told them about the present condition of the institution and about the plans i for the future based on John l>. Rocke ! feller's munificent gifts of the last 1 two years, says the New York Times, lie told the alumni that some day ■ Chicago university could have its boat I club on the campus. Plans now being carried out contemplate bringing wa ter from Lake Michigan right up to 1 the front steps of the university. In i reporting informally on the condition | of the university the president said " that because of recent gifts there was ' no need to pursue a policy of retrench ■ ment at Chicago; that the salaries of | the instructors, indeed, were being , raised. i 1 "When a lion eats an antelope it is •J only devouring glorified grass," was the comforting reflection delivered by Dr. Andrew Wilson at Bristol the oth er day. We see now that the king of beasts is apt to regard the average wayfarer as merely a mau'of straw.— ' London Globe. mm is!
