SOME LINES IN AN ALGUM
fbal He Wrote For a School Qlrl
Long Ago— That School Girl Is Now
Hls Wife.
'An album’s pages tell of many a
friend
Dost to the sight, tat to the memory
deea."
Those lines are the begin! n<g of some
worses I wrote in a schoolgirl's album
fifty-tour .versa ago. The little 'nook
ia near me now. It is old and war
worn and it makes me sad to turn its
leaves and read the pretty verses that
adorn its pages. The authors were
her best friends and all are dead but
one—the one now writing this letter.
-Friend after friend departs—wno has
not loot a friend?” This album was
captured during the uncivil war and
earned away to Babylon and kept a
prisoner in a strange land for twenty
one years and then was returned thro
ugh the mail. It takes conscience a
iongo time to bring repefitance to
some people. That school girl is my
rife —she is now sitting by her win
dow sewing, making a little dress for
a grandchild. Will she never stop
Making little garments? I asked Jes
sie last night how many garments it
took for her little Caroline in each and
every year, and she counted them up—
eight little dresses, ten petticoats, four
pair day drawers, two pair night draw
ers, and one cloak —nay twenty-five
garments for winter and as many more
for summer, and she makes most all
of them herself. My. wife has done all
this for ten, children until they were
fifteen years old. Fifty times ten mak
es 500, and r OO times 15 makes 7,500
garments and she still keeps working
on. But she is not worn out nor thin
aor -pale nor haggard nor is her eye
dimmed when she has on her gold
bound glasses. Oh. these good o'd
mothers. Mine did the same thing
for her flock and my wife's mother
the same for hers and so do they all —
except some. I loved my mother dear
ly, but it grieves me sometimes that
I did not. love bar letter, for I did not
realize how much she did for me and
how her very soul was wrapped up in
ber children. Stop young man. and
think, hen you are far away from home
rollicking and frolicking with your
Sy companions,—stop sometimes, stop
and think of your good mother and
write to her a loving letter. Hopeful
and sad she waits for every roan and
oarer despairs.
But about albums. A friend left
his with me for perusal—one of these
old time mental photographic albums
with about twenty questions to be sn
eered. I have seen them before and
was amused at the answers, but this
one interested me tort its pages con
tain an autobiography of many noble
xml notable men. It tells a condensed
story of their emotional and mental
character. When a man of thought Is
asked to write an answer to a question
he is both cautious and sincere. He
knows that he is making an exhibit of
his inner life to every one who reads
it

All these men name the sweetest
wards in our language and also the
Baddest. Among the last are lost —for-
ever lost —it might have been —friend-
less —hopeless—forlorn, and one says
most of them begin with the letter D,
ee disappointment, dismay, destruc
tion,despair, debt, duns, death, dam-
nation and the devil.
There are other wirters in the this
album, but space forbids. There are
enough for a young man to chose from.
From these he can make up a good
libraray, for there is not a questionable
book among them. Shakespeare and
Macauley are in the lead for authors
and Washington for character, truth
for the best trait in man and modesty
in woman. About half these men lik
ed the early morn and the other half
the twilight, except, however, L. Q. C.
Lamar, who says his favorite hour is
1 o’clock at night. (I never knew be
fore that he played poker.) Of those
sixteen notable men just half are dead.
Their record is made up and the book
is closed. Their influence upon the
present generation cannot be e ticreat
ed nor over-estimated. No great or
good man or woman has an adequate
idea of What he or she is worth to
mankind. Last Sabbath we heard a
very grand discourse upon environ
ment from Rev. Mr. Mum-ford, who
has established that industrial school
ivear Macon for the r elected children
ol the state, those who are under the
ban and whom nobody wants and no
body aares for —the children of drunk
en or disreputable parents and whom
no orphanage will receive. The elo
quent and earnest preacher declared
in ords that burned: “Men and women
are not born, they are made! Made by
their environments, their parents or
their early associates.” He is going
over the state gathering up the friend
less and pleading with the good peo
ple ijo give their children a chance.
"Give ©very friendless child a chance,”
he earnestly excisumed. His text was
bear ye one another’s burdens and so
fulfill' the law of Christ.” It is a
hardened heart who can listen to him
and not give something. There shou'd
be another question in that album,
what is the worst and moat prevalent
trait In mankind? And I would an
ger, “selfishness.” —Bui Ai'p in a—aiua

DEAD IN COAL MINE
Thirty-Six Miners Burned to Death
By Explosion,
AWFUL RESULT OF CARILESSNESS.
A Fire in a Coal Mine In Diamond*
ville, Wyo., Burns to Death All the
Miners in One Shaft With a Single
Exception.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Special—The worst
disaster in the hi a wry of coal min
ing iu Wyoming since the Almy hor
or, eight years ago, occurred at Dla
mondville Monday night. Thirty-six
men are believed to have perished in
a fire which started in Mine Nol, of
the Diamondville Coal and Coke Com
pany.
The blaze was first discovered short
ly after the night shift commenced
work. It is thought to have origina
ted from a careless miner's lamp in
the oil room. The flames made such
progress that only one man escaped
from the two entires in which it was
confined His name is Jno. Alexan
der and he was frightfully burned in
running the gauntlet of the flames. He
was suddenly confronted by a wall of
fire and smoke and wrapping his head
in an overcoat he ran in the direction
of the main entrance. He fell uncon
scious, and was carried to the mouth
of the -mine. The alarm was sounded
and hundreds of miners at work in
the mines and on the outside rushed
o tie'rescue of their imprisoned com
rades. The fire had by this time maue
such progress that it was impossible
to enter the rooms of flames. The en
tire night was spent in confining the
fire to the two entries and this morn
ing it was necessary to seal them up to
prevent the flames from spreading to
other parts of the mine. This step was
only decided upon after ail hope of
saving the lives of the men had been
abandoned. Nothing could live five
minutes in the fire, which was in
creasing in fierceness every minute
The plugging of .the two entries will
smother the fire, but it may be several
days before the barricades can be re
moved and the chambers explored.
The exact total of men*entombed is
not yet known as a number are miss
ing, some on sick leave and others In
the hospital, suffering from burns re
ceived while fighting the flames, so
that an accurate count s jit present
impossible.
The scenes at the mouth of the mine
during the night and day were heart
rendering. Relatives and friends of the
entombed miners rushed to the mine,
frantically waving their hands and
crying lo the mine officials and miners
to save their dear ones. Many of the
women and childieii were slightly
injured in the crowd and by falling
over obstacles in the darkness.
Diamondville has been the scene ol
a number of disastrous fires since the
coal mines were opened there, ten
years ago, but the conflagrations we e
never attended with serious loss of
life.
The mine is owned by the Oregon
Short Line Railroad. Its output is
about 175,000 tons of coal per year and
upwards of 700 miners are employed.
Hor or of Horrors.
Versailles, Ind., Special.—George
James and his four young daughte.s
were burned to death in. their farm
house, four mites from Versailles ear
ly Saturday morning. A son- 12 years
old, made a desperate efionr to get his
father and sisters out Irom the burn
ing house, but failed. The son, who
been sleeping with his father, escaped
through a rear door, and finding it im
possible to get back owing to the rapid
spread of the fire, rushed to a window
of hie father's room and broke the
glass in with his fist. He begged his
lather and sisters to climb through the
broken sash, but they made no reply.
In a few minutes the whole structeure
fell, buryiug the inmates.

AN UNPLEASANT INCIDENT.
Senor Cisne-os Takes Inopportune
Time to Exhibit Haired of United
States.
Havana, By Cable. —The Cuban con
stitution, first submitted by the cen
tral committee to the conve-tion at the
public session of January 21. was
signed Thursday. One copy waa seat
to Gov. Gen. Wood and the other
placed among the records of *the con
vention. The attendance waa not
large.
At 5 o’clock the members affixed
their signatures, the president and
vice president 1 raring off, the two
secretaries s ; gning !a t.
Senor Cisneros Or. cared a sen ration
by refusing to sign it. He said:
“Cuba ir> row independent, and I can
Bee no r-rason for sending this con
stitution to the United States for ac
ceptance. The United StatfS govern
ment has no right to paS3 upon it, f r
It is a distinctively Cuban docment
and was drawn up by this convention
which has ss uined the responsibility
of establishing the republic.”
Several delegates argued w'th him,
tout he was immovable. A3 the de’e
gatos retired, Senor Tamayo remark
ed: “We are all Cubans, Senor,” and
Senor Cisneros replied: “Ye3, wh n
the time comes to fight the Americans
we w'll fight them tog ther.” Then he
turned toward the president’s tab’a
and shaking his fiat at the Americ n
newspaper men, he aald: “The Ameri
cans are like the monkey. When the
monkey closes its paw on a thing it
never wants to let go.”
Subsequently he sad he would sign
the oopy of the constitution that had
been filed wi‘h the records of the con
vention, but would wait until the other
had been sent to Washington.
Senor Capote, prerid-ent of the con
vention, delivered the -tocument to
Gen. Wood at the palace Friday
morning at 9:30. Gen. Wood and his
; staff will receive formally the com-
Hvibcion charged with the duty of p e
senting the con-titrt'on. The later
will be translated and a cory In Enr
j llsb will be sent to Washington wi h,
I the original. Probably the translation
will .not be ready before Mondry. Gen.
Woo- sent a personal letter to Seior
Tamayo, chairman of t v e ep cal com
mittee on relatione, outlining the sug
gestions received from Secretary Root,J
but pointing out that the e were oily
expressions of opinion of execu
tive department as to what t v e people
of Cuba desire to have and
agreed upon between the United St tes
and Cuba, and should not be taken as
an official declaration of the United
States, it being neee-aary to refer the
whole matter to Congress.
The special committee on re’aticns
has not yet decided- what rerort it will
make. Another meeting has been called
Gov. Gen. Wood will appoint a com
mission consisting of two Cuban mer
chants, two Americans and Calleotor
Bliss, as chairman, to rev’se the
tariffs. A supp’ementary revision will
be first made and submitted te me--

States for suggestions. The Cubans
take kindly to the scheme whtth will
sllow them a choice in arranging the
duties.
