That Is the new policy of progressive metal and coal mining managers in the . United States; and it is based on the theory that what is useless today may i become worth much money tomorrow. XCoal screenings, for instance, must be carefully saved in piles, which will be handy for future use when inventors perfect a practical way of getting val uable heat out of them. A Pennsylvania coal mining com pany is applying the idea to the ex treme. From its anthracite coal mines i vast quantities of coal have been shipped to market, but millions of tons < of screenings have accumulated for many years. These culm piles were considered to be worthless, and coal i t *8hes and other refuse were dumped i ( on them. At the present time, how- ] ever, the very small sizes of anthra cite, down to a sixteenth of an inch in diameter, can all be sold profitably; so the company is digging out the , culm piles and sifting the old waste ; for salable coal. ( The managers know it will not be | long before even the flue dust may do , good work under boilers and sell at a , fair figure; therefore the new culm j piles resuting from the present sifting j i operations have been carefully - I planned to be handy and in good shape | for selling whenever the inventors sue- , ceed in making it profitable. ] Dust from the chimneys of a cop- I per smelter is not now of much value, » as a general rule, because there is no i economical way of recovering the cop- : per, zinc, silver and gold in the dust; ; but great quantities of this fine dust 1 are collected in modern smelters, in i an attempt to prevent the smelter i fumes from bothering neighboring J farmers. The dust is useless and gathers so fast that much money is expended in disposing of it. A California smelter company has i discovered just how much copper, gold and other metals are earned away in flue dust. There is enough to make i every ton valuable if somebody could invent an easy way to extract the met- 1 als.—Saturday Evening Post. i A close friend is one who won’t lend you money.

A correspondent of the New York Sun recalls the case of the “Rev. lames Johnson" of New Jersey, who ivas indicted years ago as the chief of i band of chicken thieves that had plundered the farmers near New Brunswick. The testimony was some thing like this: “Now, Mr. Johnson, these chickens, is evidence shows, were found in your possession. Did you steal them?" “No, sah. I got ’em from one of nah fr’en’s.” “Did you know where he got the chickens?” “I didn’t ask him, sah.” “Did you believe them to be law 'ully his to give?” “I didn’t ask no questions, sah, I jus’ tuck ’em.” “What did you do with them?” “I sold ’em to the market man.” “What did you do with the money?” “I kept some and divided the rest vith mah fr’en’s.” "Now, Mr. Johnson, be truthful. Did tou, or did you not, believe these ;hickens to be honestly yours?” “Sure I knowed they wasn’t mine. I ;es’ tuck ’em.” “And you used them to benefit your self, by passing them on to other people?” “Yes, sah. They was very good ihickens.” “Now, Mr. Johnson, here is a wit less who says these chickens belong ;o him, and proves that they were stolen from his farm, at night, by men n your employ. What have you to say to that?” Witness (pointing)—Is that the man sver there? “Yes.” “Dunno him at all. He don’ belong o our conference! He’s an onregen srate sinner, an’ he ought to go to lell!” Noble Dissatisfaction. It is said that Tennyson was 17 'ears in writing “In Memoriam.” He vrote the little song, “Come Into the Jarden, Maud,” 50 times before he sublished it. The wife of a distin ;uished painter said: “I never saw ny husband satisfied with one of his iroductions.” Self-dissatisfaction lies it the root of our noble achievements. Vhat is true generally is particularly rue as a condition of growth in the livine life. Even if we have been :ept from outw'ard and disgraceful sin, low we came short of the glory of Jod! Never yield to discouragement, lever admit that failure is a neces lary part of your life, never abandon 'our quest for the highest!

Cleveland, Ohio—‘‘My left aids pained me so for several years that I expected to have to undergo an opera tion, but the first bottle I took of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound relieved me of the puns in my side and I continued its use until I became regular and free from pains. I had asked several doc tors if there was anything I could take to help me and they said there was nothing that they knew of. I am thankful for such a good medicine and will always give it the highest praise.” —Mrs. C. H. Griffith, 1668 Constant St., Cleveland, Ohio. Hanover, Pa.—‘‘I suffered from fe male trouble and the pains were so bad at times that I could not sit down. The doctor advised a severe operation but my husband got me Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I experienced great relief in a short time. Now I feel like a new person and can do a hard day’s work and not mind it. What joj end happiness it is to be well once more. I am always ready and willing to speak a good word for the Compound.”—Mrs. Ada Wilt, 303 Walnut St, Hanover,Pa.

Stephens were among those to oppose Frank's appeal for clemency. Mr. Howard presented a mass of doc umentary evidence. "We expect to convince you by what is contained in the records,” he said, “that Frank is Innocent.

APPEALS TO THE GERMANS Urges Those In America to B< Loyal, Condoning Criticism of U. S. Policies In For eign Affairs. Washington. D. C., June 14.—Wash, tngton has about come around to thg belief that the resignation of William J. Brynn from the cabinet was due not to the new note to Germany, not to the belief that this note was really a warlike ultimatum, but, to a feeling on Mr. Bryans part extending ove« a period of some months, that he wag no longer the premier of the cabinet, except In name, and that his Influence on the administration was waning. Pique and dissatisfaction because he felt he was being more and more ig nored, and because he believed other men about the president were domi nating the policies of the government, rather than he; likewise the feeling that elements In the democratic party to which lie Is hostile have lately been getting Into the saddle. These are among the basic reasons for the course taken bv the recent secretary of state. Ignored; Resented It. In this connection, It 1b an Interest ing fact that In diplomatic circles the trend of inside comment on the res- t Ign&tion of Mi. Bryan Is that It was due, not to the president's German pol icy primarily, but because Mr. Bryan considered he was being Ignored. Kor weeks and months intimates of Mr. Bryan have been whispering In his ear that men close to the adminis tration were trying to stick a knife in him and that they were taking pains to set on foot gossip, through the news papers and otherwise, calculated to "get" him. Mr. Bryan would not believe such stories at first, but gradually he is said to have become convinced. Newspa pers’ stories telling how he was being Ignored, how the president and Rob ert Lansing were conducting the for eign affairs of the government, how his chief part in the correspondence with foreign powers was to sign his name, how he was getting irritated over conditions—all these things and others akin to them more and more made Mr. Bryan restive and determined to quit. That he was casting about for a plausible reason for making his exit, and likewise for a chance to stage a dramatic departure, has come to be the accepted view in well informed quarters here. Old Friends Criticise Him. In high administration circles, It ia well known that this substance Is the opinion which is held. The affectionate protestation of Mr. Bryan that he is out to help the Wilson administration Is not taken seriously. It is certain that practically every politician in Wash ington, whether democratic or republi can. entertains no illusions as to the purposes of the lately resigned secre tary of state to make himself useful in giving support to the president. Some of the bitterest men in the capitol with respect to the course taken by Mr. Bryan are old Bryan men who have come to entertain a feeling of regard and confidence for the Wilson adminis tration. Many of these men have switched overnight and casting off their old friendship for the Nebraskan, are condemning him more Ptrongly than those who have never been listed with his political followers. Mr. Bryan last night Issued an ap peal addressed to the “German-Ameri cans," urging them to aid in maintain ing peace between the United States and the fatherland by exerting their in fluence with the German government to persuade it not to take steps that would lead in the direction of war. PADEREWSKI PLEADS FOR HUNGRY POLES Paderewski addressing 50,000 Polei in Chicago.

Text of Statement. x uv vviuiiiuiiivauuu "On the night of the 10th and the following day the Germans, after a ■urtous bombardment, renewed de termined attacks from the west of Shavll on the front of Koujillce, Ra tlevo and Kinoraltzy. Several times luring the night they reached our barbed wire entanglements but each time they were thrown back leaving piles of killed and wounded. "In the region north of Shavll an snemy detachment composed principal ly of cavalry advanced slightly In the direction of Sazklnow, coming from ths west. "On the left bank of the Ruxbysa rrom Shavll and to Bettgola we as sumed the olTenslve and on the morn ing of the 10th gained an important success, taking by a vigorous night at tack over BOO prisoners with guns, mltrallle uses and other booty. "Tike enemy continued his attacks In the region of MoBClska. Campaign On Dneister. "On the right bank of the Dniester we continued on the 9th and 10th to press the enemy on the front between the rivers Tysmenlca and Swlea, cap turing many prisoners, quick flrers and booty. In this region, the enemy, to cover his retreat, dispatched a train of live armored automobiles, supported by Infantry, toward Stry and Mlkolafow, but the accurate fire of our guns com pelled the train to beat a rapid re treat. In this action the head of our Infantry column developed an energetic offensive and made prisoners the en tire Fifth company of the Seventy ninth Austrian regiment. "On the left bank of the Dniester, in front of Olchowlce and Bukaszowlce, the fighting has been obstinate since the 10th, for the villages of Olchowlce, Novochlne, Wyschuve and Kozara, ter minating In the complete defeat of the enemy, who was thrown across the Dniester. The enemy suffered espe cially severe losses among a section of the Prussian guard In the village of Wyschnuve. where we captured 10 guns. 18 mitrailleuses and many prison ers. "Attacks by the enemy, the 9th, on the bridge head near Hallcz, were re pulsed. "The deployment of our troops on the lino of the Dniester, above Hallcz, ren dered necessary a considerable modifi cation of the front of troops occupying the Pruth line. In executing this ma neuver our troops evacuated Stanlslau without fighting. "Near Podlougle we repelled a Ger man attack. Further south In the di rection of Otynla we captured MOO pris oners during a counter attack, on the 9th. JAPAN, CRISIS PAST, LIFTS EMBARGO ON ARMS FOR CZAR Washington, D. C., June 14.—The sudden collapse of the apparently overwhelmingly victorious westward march of the Russian armies into Prussia and across the Carpathians in to Hungary and the severe reverses which they suffered since the turn of the tide at Przemysl, were directly at tributable to the recent crisis In the relations between China and Japan, ac cording to information which h&a reached diplomatic circles here. According to these accounts, In the beginning of the war Russia turned to Japan for a supply of war materials. Japan was in position to sell any suantlty of ammunition and small arms and even cannon after the successful siege of Kiao Chow, when there was no longer need for maintaining the large army mobilized for that purpose. 3o all the Japanese reserve ammuni tion which could safely be spared was loaded on to freight and express cars and even passenger coaches on the Si berian railroad and dispatched over land to Russia. In addition, the Jap anese arms factories and metal works received and began to execute rapidly great contracts for the supply of all sorts of military equipment for Rus sia. varying from field guns to uni forms and saddles. Slapped on an Embargo. When the negotiations between China and Japan regarding Manchuria nnd Mongolia and Kiao Chow suddenly assumed a critical phase, it is said that the Japanese government regarded It ns prudent to retain in Japan thes* military supplies as a precautionary measure In case the Chinese should actually go to war and also because of the possibility that some of the powerful nations which guaranteed Chinese integrity, even Russia being kept in mind, might endeavor to in tervene. The effect of the conservation of Japanese resources was almost In stantly manifested at the far distant Russian front, for it developed that the Russians had exhausted all theli own reserve stock of ammunition and with their limited manufacturing fa cilities were dependent upon Japa* for the greater part of the powder, shot and shell needed by the army. In that emergency, appeals wer« made to Japan to loosen the embar go and pressure was brought to beat on that country through her allies, s« that it is understood that now the cur rent of supply has again been estab lished, Japan having become satisfies that there was no longer imminent danger of trouble with China. Owing to the enormous number ot guns lost hy Austria, the artillery, went recently provided with guns discard** jia obsolete.
