Our Coal is the best cool weather comfort
that you will be able to find in town. These
chilly fall winds will soon turn into winter
and you will need the comfort that our coal
will give you. Better order early to avoid
disappointments when an extra
chilly day comes.

The Acaiemy of Siicncc.
It is written that among the vari
oii hools of tirccian yhilot-ophy
existed one known as "the Academy;
of Sili'iire," composed of a huudrcd
men, each member pledged to the
purpose uf the school. To themj
calm one seeking admission. Their j
list of membership was closed, aud!
their head, calling the would be neo- j
phyte before the assembled uudi-;
eiice, showed hitu without a word!
an urn so tilled with water that uot
a single drop could be added. The:
ueophyte, reading the message, bow
ed sileutly, started to withdraw, but
hekitated and returned. Picking a
petal from a flower, he dropped it
ou the briuiuiiug bowl so dexter
ously that it floated without dis
lodging the slijjhtet particle of the
liquid. The membership of the
Academy of Silence became 101.

Concerning Giddiness.
Digestive disorders are most com
monly, says a medical scientist
writing in the Family Doctor, the
causes of vertigo, and the person
attacked generally complains of
di-tress after a hearty meal.
Klderly people suffer more than
do those of any other age. aud per
sons fatigued I iy overwork, intellec
tual or physical, are quite subject to
the disorder. When the giddiness
is associated with congestion of the
lirain the face is Hushed and the
arteries of the temples are distend
ed, (iiddiness of this latter kind
has always a dangerous significance,
aud no time should be lost in con
sulting a medical man.
A SIWSE OF HUMOR.
Just tho Point.
Freddy does not ofieu have an
idea, but when he does he sticks to
it tenaciously. For instance, he
came out with this conundrum the
other day with u glow of self con
scious pride:
"Why is an eagle like a mau?"
Kvcrybodv gave it up, when Fred
dy exclaimed with a chuckle:
''Because it is baldheaded."
'"But." said somebody, "all eagles
are not baldheaded."
'"That's just it," responded Fred
dy. "Neither aro all men baldhead
ed."

Tired at Three O'clock?" "No Sir! I Use the Monarch
IF typewriters were machines run by mechanical means in
stead of human hands, you vould find that, with a ghen amount
of power, a Monarch could be run at a higher maintained speed
than other typewriters.
Run by "girl power," you find that the Monarch is run at
a higher all-day average speed than other typewriters, and
without a "tapering off," from fatigue toward the day's end.
Both these truths are due to the fact that
(T LJ LIGHT
TOUCH
lightens the draft, uses Dower more economically. Eliminates
the waste of energy that typifies the heavy-touch machines.
This in turn means increased production per machine and de
creased cost of typewriter work per folio.
While Monarch Light Touchand the
Monarch Rigid Carriage are exclusive
Monarch features, every other import
ant feature of the modern typewriting
machine, such as Back Space Key, Two
Color Ribbon Shift, Contained Tabula
tor, etc., etc., will also be found on the
Monarch. Let us give you a demon
stration of Monarch Light Touch and
other Monarch advancements.

neighbor will own up, iiiJeed, to
cvcr crime ou the calendar, but not
to biu devoid uf a seue of humor.
And, moreover, the seuse of ha
luor Ueloujiuj to eerv man is iu
Yariablv ' keeH." The must sUilid,
phlegmatic persou, who ueter jets
near euouli to the poiul wf a jwka
to throw his hat Hpou it, will UU
vou with tears iu his eves that be
uever would hare heeu able to hava
lived through if it haJu't beeu for
his seue of humor.
The worst offender, liowem, is
the oue who makes a Imsiuets of
exploiting this uuivcrtallv assumed
trait. He takes vou aside iu a kiud
of joyous conuMeuce.
"I couldn't hegin to tell you," be
declares, "all the funny thinjrK 1
sec. 1 don't know why it is" thi
with an air us if it were a heaven
sent ;ift which he moile.-tly is iu
no sc responsible for "but any
thing tiinnv real fuuny appeals

set them down! Hut somehow I

He then proceeds to tell you, of
an incident that happened bo him
self pci'Minallv. Vou have heard
the story perhaps teu years back to
far back, indeed, that you have al
most forgotten it. Hut you wouldu't
let your friend know that for the
world.
When lis has finished you huifili
heartily, lion practice has trained
you to lauh upon these occasions
as if you really meant it, and you
tell him that it is certainly one of
the best thin", you have ever heard.
Ileueeforth you avoid him. A burn
ed victim dreads the man with a
sense of humor.
Why i it that a man, modest iu
other respects, who, if he saved au
other's life would conceal it, boldly
and uuhlushinly talks about his
woiuterlul sense ol liumor wnnoui
tho slijjhle.st compunction?'
Next to him comes the young
flirl of the family. Let us call her
dear Mabel.
You've seen Mabel, of course?
"Do you know," her mother de
clares, "that child sees the funny
side of everything! You just tmjrlit
to hear her! No matter where she
goes it is always the same! Why,
last niiilit we sat up listening to her
while she entertained us witli what
she saw ou the trolley car just
think of it and well, I thought I
should certainly split with laughter.
Mimic! Perfect! And vou ouirlit
to see the poetry lie wrote! She'd
be awful mad if she knew I was
showing it. I wanted her to end it
to (he papers, but I couldn't per
suade her. l.-n't it perfectly splen
did? I suppose she ought not to
be encouraged loo much. I have a
friend who's a writer, and he ad
visYd me to keep her down. Hut it
does seem as if talent like that
ought to be put to use. Uh, you
just wait till you hear her! Such a
sense of liumor!
You don't wait. You love dear
Mabel at a distance. You sneak
away in the gloaming. You have
been there before. Henceforth when
Mabel heaves in sight you put your
helm hard a port and wear ship.
It has often been shyly intimated
by bachelors that women have
no seine of humor.
Yet think of the monumental
joke every woman plays on a man
when she marries him! Success

Throwing Stones at a Tiger.
Stone throwing is not without its
uses in hunting the licrVe.-t of game.
At the first sound the tiger walked
out and ui the omnsiti bunk and
fell to a general discharge. As he
lay motionless one of the guns sug-ge.-ted

ure him, but 1 demurred to measur
ing a tiger before 1 was sure he was
dead and insisted on someone throw
ing stones at him lir.t. A kiri.'c
stone hit the tiger, who got up afM
lurched rather than charged in our
direction, witli the avage cuugbiug
grunt you cannot exactly describe
it as a roar which a tiger makes
when charging. There was another
general fusillade a he dipped into
llie ravine, then it moment of strain
