SAFE AT HOME. The world need never shed a tear for its sainted dead. They are safe as the harvest is when the farmer has bound it into sheaves and stored it away, or as the roses are when the gardner has wrapped their roots in straw and hous- ed them from the storm. They are safe as the larks that fly, singing, from the green earth, out of reach of the hunts- man’s snare and the aim of the cruel sportsman. They are safe as warriors who march beneath worn battle-flags no more, but sit down with conquerors to festivals of song and wine. They are safe as young lambs are when shep- herds fold them from the blast and carry them over rough places in tender arms. Weep for the living all you choose; let your tears be unstayed above the dying bed where your dar- lings lie like wreaths of fading snow be- neath the glance of death; but if you believe in God, and hold any faith in heaven, shed not your tears for the blessed and happy dead. Christianity gives the lie to its belief when it garbs itself in sables and mourns without comfort for those who have exchanged the inn for the palace, the wilderness for the land of peace and plenty. EXAMPLE FOR YOUNG MEN. 1905 has now passed into history. No year in the history of the world has left to our young men brighter examples of the old maxim that “Honesty is the best policy.” No other year has seen the downfall of so many men holding high positions in society, in financial circles, and even in the church. Men who lived in palaces and were next to worshiped by their fellow men at the dawn of 1905, were behind prison bars when the old year bid us farewell The heads of many of our great insur- ance companies and banking houses, have, in their desire to get rich quick, stepped aside from the path of honesty, with the result that never fails to fol- low such a course, and the new year finds them disgraced and dishonest. Among the most striking examples in this class is that of Prof. N. C. Dough- erty, superintendent of schools in the beautiful city of Peoria, Illinois, a po- sition he held for 27 years. Not only in the schools to which he was attach- ed were his services as an educator in demand, but high schools, Y. M. C. A. conventions, college and teachers’ as- sociations felt extremely honored when they could induce Prof. Dougherty to speak before them upon educational matters, and one of his strange points was in trying to impress upon the minds of young men the necessity of honesty and uprightness. But that is all ended now. Prof. Dougherty’s days as an educator, in what we may call a positive manner, are ended, his silvery voice will no longer urge young men and women tO live up to the highest ideals of right and duty. But Dougherty’s career as an educator is not yet over, though his teachings now will be rather negative than positive, by example rather than precept ; the lesson he is now giving should sink deep into the hearts and memories of all young men, as it is of tremendous significance to all, for it demonstrates the terrible effects of dis- obeying the mandates of honesty and straying from the paths of uprightness. The spectacle is a sad one to be snatched in a moment, as it were, from the high place he held in the confidence and esteem of his fellow men, honored by positions that gave him place among the highest and best, a palatial home with every comfort, a loving family circle where all was love and happi- ness, a host of admiring friends, re- spected and loved by everybody, the idol of hundreds of teachers and thou- sands of pupils, all are gone; he has ex- changed them for the four walls of a prison cell, and in a little while he will lose even his name, and will be known simply by number. Even the dollars for which he sacrificed so much, they, too, are gone, everything is swept clean, and the wife of his bosom will have to leave her comfortable home and go out into the world worse than widowed, to all intents and purposes & pauper ; and the friends who have loved him and upheld him must all suffer, not from anything criminal they have done, but from the confidence and friendly feeling they had for him, and several of those who were his closest friends may be stripped of reputation and fortune simply because they were too confident of his intergity. Young men, the career of Prof. Dougherty furnishes a frightful ex- ample of the necessity of keeping in the narrow path of honesty. It is dan- gerous to turn to the right or left; be- ware of the first step outside; it is the crucial test; without taking the first step you are safe, but when you once leave the right path, you never know where your wanderings may lead you. Another lesson taught by Prof. Dougherty’s fall, and we wish to em- phasize it, is that you do not go down alone ; all those who love and trust you will be more or less affected by your downfall, and they whom you love and that love you most will suffer the most. The memory of the loved ones ought to stay your hand when you are tempted to go wrong. Wedoubt if Prof. Dough- erty, in his long and successful career as an educator, has ever before taught so valuable a lesson as the one to be drawn from the disclosures and pro- ceeding which have ended that career and placed him behind the prison bars, bereft of home, fortune and friends. Prof. Dougherty furnishes but one of many examples we would like to place before our young men ; some of them, we regret to say, could be found much nearer home. THE MINING OF COAL IN 1905. 1904, and about 34 per cent. over the output of 1903, the year which, until 1905, held the record for maximum pro- duction of anthracite coal. BITUMINOUS COAL. While the production of bituminous coal has, in most states, exceeded the production of previous years, the oper- ations of the mines have been seriously hampered by a shortage of cars. This condition has affected practically every bituminous coal-mining district in the United States. It has especially been felt in southern West Virginia, where at times, on account of an insufficient number of cars, some mines have been operated, on an average, only for two or, at best, three days in the week. In some of the states the indurtry has been favorably or unfavorably affected by certain local conditions. etl tle — SOOTHING AND COMFORTING.

Parker, author of the annual report on the production of coal which is pub- lished by the United States Geological Survey, “the year 1905 has been one of record- breaking activity.” ANTHRACITE COAL. The anthracite trade has been par- ticularly good. The market for pre- pared sizes for domestic use took all the coal that eould be produced. Dur- ing the spring and summer the small sizes, which are used, ip competition with bituminous coal, for steam pur- poses, were not in great demand, but with the increased business activity of the later months the demand for an- thracite coal of small sizes naturally increased, especially as there was a marked scarcity of bituminous coal. PENNSYLVANIA, By reference to the figures of the Bureau of Anthracite Coal Statistics at Philadelphia, Pa., which keeps a month- ly record of the production, it 1s pos- sible to estimate very closely the total production of anthracite coal during the year 1905. Mr. W. W. Ruley, chief of the Bureau, states that the produc- tion for the year will show an increase of 814 per cent. over the production of T. R. Pritts to A. J. Sembower, in Black, $1200.
