Sun - day night six cars in transit consigned to coal dealers was seized at this mlnal. What disposition will bo made of those six cars is not known. Tho Omaha Beo says: "W. H. Plumoff, assistant federal road, estlmatos that 50,000 tons of coal havo been seized by tho Union Pacific. Every mine on tho system has closed, he says, including ihoso controlled by tho United Pacific Coal company, In Southern Wyoming. "We have received no Instructions rogardlng tho distribution of this coal," said Mr. Plumoff, " and none of ,fc wil1 00 disposed of until instructions arrive.

Never get angry on paper. The writ ten word can be used effectually against you long after the spoken word Is forgotten, and might place you In a dangerous or embarrassing position In a court of law. Write only with n cool head and a steady hand never on the Impulse of the mo ment or when under pressure. Oui grandmother used to caution us "tc sleep on our wrath." and. surely thai Indeed Is good counsel, for a nlght'i rest nnd tlmo to reflect calmly may chnngo tho point of view and enable one to form a cool, levelheaded Judg ment. Original Personality. The approach to the comprehension of any original personality In art or in philosophy is slow but full of fascina tion. One tlrst luVulse, I havo usual ly found, Is one of tedious Indifference followed by rejection, probably accom panied with repugnance. In title sphere the door which opens at a touch may only leud Into a hovel.- The portal to a glorious temple may bo through a iturk and dreary, narthex, to bo trn versed pulnfully, It may bu on one's knees, a passage only Illuminated In lu last stages by exhilarating bursts of light as the door ahead momentarily wings open.
