LUCKY HAN

This is the story of the loss and recovery of a gold watch owned by Mr. J. Harris of Beacon street. It has a moral attached. Mr. and Mrs. Harris went to Chicago Saturday night, Mrs. Harris to mingle with the holiday throngs in the brilliantly lighted shops, while Mr. Harris pursued the even tenor of his way to the ditto brilliant, but less festive barber shoo. On escaping from the tender mercies of the tonsorial artist who performer al the known arts of his craft upon the physiognomy and dome of Mr. Harris, the victim of the art dove into his pocket to see whether it was not time to meet Mrs. Harris at a store indicated by her as a rendezvous at a certain hour. There was no watch In the accustomed place. Mr. Harris promptly arrived at the conclusion that he had been touched

by some one In the shop and went ou

his way

somebody has lost their watch!" Stilt no confession from the silent Mr. Harris as to his loss, but be secretly rejoiced that at any rate he would now have some sort of a turnip to replace the good gold time piece of which h had ben robbed. VThen the couple reached home Mrs. Harris had time to examine her fln.l more minutely. "Why ifs your watch!" she exclaimed. Moral: Always tell your wife everything. She"ll find out anyhow.

'I have sung for charity on many oc- i casions, but never have "I been asked to lend my voice to so worthy, a cause as this to raise funds to perpetuate the name of Billy" Rugh. I consider it an honor to be asked to sing on such an occasion. The sacrifice made by . this Gary newsboy should go down in -the pages of history. His. was. a delibsaerifice. Men have sacrificed their lives through stress of excitement, through fancied duty and many other causes, but "Billy" Hugh his was deliberate. He gave his life for a- girl he had never seen, for one unknown to him; his was a sacrifice to the cause of humanity. I am honored In being asked to take part

The Connellsville coke trade runs smoothly at flood. Production and

shipments are well maintained and growing, while both car and labor supply give evidences of improvement which, though not great, are gratifying under U the adverse circumstances. The Thanksgiving holiday, which consumers feared would cut down production and cause them embarrassment, proved to be a false alarm. Production fell off but 4,500 tons. None of the plants laid off, but some of the men did, hence the loys of production noted. However, cokeworkers now have the habit of laying off when it pleases them. They feel pretty, safe In their jobs owing to the scarcity of men. and i it they are suffering from unrest or i lack of rest they take a rest. There were just a fw more on the resting places on Tbar.U'-v-i ving. j liary Knjjn Benefit. 1 While shipments decreased but 131 cars, Pittsburg shipments fell off 1.014 cars, while western shipments increased 1.263 cars. This shifting in destinations was due to the labor troubles at the Braddock and Homestead plants of

the Carnegie Steel company which led to the temporary banking of 14 furnaces. The Frick coke usually shipped to these furnaces went to Gary and .loliet for use in the United States Steel Corporation furnaces there. The byproduct ovens supplying these plants

with coke are not able to run to their j

full capacity because of the scarcity of coal cars, and the surplus coke from the Connellsville ovens was very welcome. This week most of the Pittsburg district furnaces are running again, and coke shipments to them from this region have been resumed. Connellsville Courier.'
