He placed each under $vx bail to keep the peace for one year, and made each go the other's bar. so if the two quarrel atrain each will have to forfeit $300 bail. He then made each take an oath to be friends and not to quarrel and then dismissed them. Ktopw Hie Cousth 11'iH WnrkH nir llll' ( nld. LnxHilvi' Brnmo yulnlne Tablets euro a cold la uue day.

Co., before the Industrial Commission, to the effect that the price of anthracite coal will never be reduced and that the supply will be practically exhausted in thirty years, is interesting for several rea sons.

Of course, there are the seem ingly inexhaustible bituminous coal beds to draw upon, but there are many uses to which anthracite is put that the softer coal would not make a satisfactory substitute for. Let us look on the optimistic side of it, however, and rest assured that the ingenuity of man, coupled with nature's resources, will carry us across the bridge when we come to it. Ever have them?
