and who was the first to reach the
bottom after the explosion happened,
is also now among the list of dead.
Of those in the mine all are probably
dead.
The explosion occurred at 8:20 in
the morning, and the first warming
was the sudden rumble under ground,
and then a sheet of flaame followed
up the deep shaft Both mine cages
were hurled through the tipple, twenty
feet above the landing stage, and the
three men on the tipple were hurled
to the ground. A mule was thrown
high above the shaft and fell dead on
the ground.
The Injured men were brought at

have already died.

mouth of the pit. There were caHs
for assistance and fort surgical aid
from the men in chaarge of the mine,
but it was not until 4. o'clock in the
afternoon that the first attempt at
rescue was made This was a failure,
as the two men who volunteered were
driven back by foul air.
Shortly after 5 o’clock Selwyn M.
Taylor and one of his assistance sig-
naled for the engineer to lower them
into the shaft. Taylor is still down
there. Three times efforts have been
made to reach him, but so far without
avail.
At 12; 15 o’clock this morning Robert
North and Michael Caine of the res-
cue party came to the surface and re-
ported that Selwyn Tailor had been
found alive, and that seventy-fl ve of
the miners had been located, the ma-

Spaces there are of silver, spaces ot
beryl green.
Fading blue and deepening rose the Un-
den boughs between;
Jubilant thruahea calling while twilit
veils are falling
Across the western roses their fervent
fires to screen.
A whitethroat sings his vespers, while
far-off pigeons drawl.
Moths quit the shadowy shelter of ivy
on a wall;
The spider stops her spinning, for her
lelture time’s beginning.
And filmed across with dewdrops are the
hangings of her hall.
Gray clouds Invade the» silver, the green
they overrun;
There is no stain of scarlet where lately
died the sun.
Time’s finger that was lifted falls; and a
‘ point has shifted
Upon the dial of the earth. Another day
is done.

“Ruthie, do you think James will
come to-morrow? Will I see him
once more before I die? He will
come, if he knows, won’t he?”
“Oh, grandma!” answered the girl,
“don’t don’t talk that way! Maybe we
will keep you with us a long time yet.
Yes, I think James wlH come, and
really, I believe you look better to-
day. Now try and sleep a bit, and
when you wake up I will make you
some jiice soft toast and we will have
tea together.”
Tenderly drawing the bed cover up
over the shoulders of the old lady and
smoothing her pillow, Ruth stepped
softly to the kitchen and sinking into
a low chair burled her face in her
apron and sobbed bitterly. She knew
her grandmother could live, but a few
days at the most The dear, helpless,
old lady had passed her nlnety-sev-

“It was years ago—one cold night
m fall. Your grandpa and I lived
right here, just as you and I do—and
the Wind howled just as It does to-
night—perhaps that is what made
me remember—that and---. There
came a pound of music out under that
old Ironwood tree; it came nearer,
and O, It was so sweet! It was ‘The
Last Hope,’ the boy said, for father
opened the door, and there stood the
poor thing, cold and shivering, and
sick. We took him in and put him to
bed; I guess you would call him a
’Dago,’ now, but he had a sweet soul.
The next morning his dark, curly
head lay against the pillow—so quiet,
but bls-eyes roamed over the room
and he whispered, ’The Last Hope!
Wind it up.’ Your grandpa wound it,
faintly, ‘Again!’ I was busy in the
kitchen and thought it must be nearly
run down; I came In just as the last
sweet strain was dying and with it
went the spirit of the little Italian
boy. We never knew who he was, but
we burled him and took the music
box for our own—not for general use,
but when dark places came we would
wind it up and listen, and it always
seemed to comfort us with the assur-
ance that there was still one more
hope. I peed it now, so get it, dearie,
and we will listen to it together; it
will be the Hope’ that Jamie will
come before I go.”
Ruth made her way to the attic and
found the unknown, hidden treasure,
though her eyes were blinded with |
tears so that she could hardly see, j
and sbe shivered and kept repeating,
what shall I—what can I do?"

Washington: The United States
again stands, at the close of the calen-
dar year 1903, at the head of the list
of world’s exporting nations, so far as
relates to the exportation of domestic
products. This fact is shown by a as-
ties of tables just presented by the
Department of Commerce and Labor
through its Bureau of Statistics. There
are only three "blllion-dollar coun-
tries,” considered from the standpoint
of exportation of domestic products,
and they are, in the order of the mag-
nitude of their exports, the United
States, the United Kingdom and Ger-
many. In the calendar year 1908 the
exports of domestic products were:
/rom the United States 81,457,565,788
In value; from the United Kingdom
81,415,617,552; from Germany the fig-
ures for the full year have not been
received, but an examination ot the fig-
ures ot the year for which statistics
are available justifies an estimate of
81,200,600,000.
