Coal Trust IH Reforming. An item in our news columns today j Mates that the anthracite coal t rust will permit 0,000,000 tons to bo mined lie- | t ween May 1 and July 31. Should this j prove true, and the TimirxK's coal pre- j dictions are generally correct, the out- i look in the mining region for the com- ! ing summer is much brighter than at any similar period for three years past, j An average of 3,000.000 tons of coal per j mouth should give the mine employes at least four and one-half days work each week, and this, as all know, is very good working time in summer. If the trust will continue to behave itself and give the coal region people a chance to live, some of its past black sins might, be forgiven. General Alger's boasted experience of the bad beef which he consumed in the civil war was surely never gained when he was in t lie line of the "coffeecoolers," far in the rear, or when he was enjoying the floshpots of Washington, without leave of absence, while his cavalry regi ment was away in the front of battle. !

Why u Girl'* Kugiigt lueul \v n g Not An nouncnl Sooner. Tlio other night- or, rather, it was very early in the tnoruiug—the tele phone in a certain newspaper office ! rang loud and long. Most of the work [ ers had gone home 'or the forty winks that newspaper people contrive to put in between times, but there was one man 011 the "dog watch"—that is. you know, he was the one person detailed to stay around the office and be ready for anything from a murder to a tire. At that hour of the day—about, well, somewhere around X o'clock a. 111. when the telephone in a newspaper office rings it generally means a po lice story that is worth looking up, 00 the "dog watch" hastened to ai nwer the summons. "Hello," said a voice. "Is it too late to got something in to-morrow morn ing's paper?" "Not if it's importnot," was the n* ply. "Oh. it is." assuriugly. The reporter rushed for a pad of paper and a pencil, screwed his ear up to the telephone again and said: "All right. Fire away there." Then the voice was heard again "The engagement of Miss to Mr. is announced." There was an explosion of wrath at the preps end of line and the rules of the telepone company restraining irate persons from indulging in profanity were smashed into smithereens. "Why under the blankety-blank blnnk" (that wasn't exactly what was said, hut it will do, you kuow) "didn't you send in such stuff earlier in the day?" "Hut I couldn't" said the voice apo logetically.
