Test Made on Steamer Gives Very- Satisfactory Results. The following letter addressed to E. Waterman by Capt. Estabrooks shows tbe satisfactory steaming qualities of the Princeton coal, a small trial consignment of which was sent to the steamer Aberdeen plyirig.o'n Okanagan lake.- The result corroborates, the testimony of many similar letters;. Practical experiments made with the coal as well as laborator- ial tests have all been most favorable. Evidently Capt. Estabrooks is not aware that the Verinilion Forks Co.; of which Mr. Waterman * is the resident manager, has a producing mine in the town at the pit head of which coal retails at $3 per ton. This company has a township of coal lands in this vicinity which has been proven by a steam drill to contain an enormous quantity of a first class article in some stratum measuring 18 feet in thickness and which now awaits transportation facilties. The Captain's advice to "stay with it" will most certainly be acted uppn: "Canadian Pacific Railwav Co. S.S. Aberdeen Okanagan Landing, Jan. 8, 1964. E.

Indeed, many who know -him npt throughout the £ whole interior? will rejoice with his personal friends oyer the victory, for Mr. Buscombe is Known by his public acts to be a broad minded and public spirited citizen. He is one of a few progressive Vancouvefites whose mental v?si°n *s not pent up with the encircling,., mountains ..-..of his city. He sees afar. He has large mineral interests in the interior and takes an occasional trip i'ntothese mountain altitudes for his health, He js an ardent supporter of a coast-to.

Henpeck—You surprise me ? By whom ? ' "Bre'r Jones hez done struck what dey calls 'de happy medium.' " "What's dat?" "Des po' enough ter thank de Lawd he ain't rich, en des rich enough ter pity de po'! " Aunt Betty—Edith, didn't I see Mr. Sweetser kissing you in the hall last night ? Edith—Yes, but it was only in remembrance of former days. Aunt Betty—A sort of souvenir spoon, I suppose you mean. Mr. Roth, undertaker, had been summoned to the home of a wealthy aristocrat. Upon surveying the remains of the deceased he discovered that the man wore a wig, and that, as he now lay in a reclining position, the wig fell back and ex posed his bald pate. "Madam," said the undertaker obsequiously to the sorrowing widow, "I perceive that your late husband wore a wig during his natural life. I do not suppose yon wish this generally known, so if you will kindly favor me with a small pot of glue I will arrange the wig so that it will be unnoticed." The widow had no glue, but sent out foi some immediately. A short time after wards she approached the undertaker and proffered a small bottle of glue. "Oh never mind now," said Mr. Roth, consolingly, "I—er—I found a tack." The sick man had called his lawyer. "I wish to explain again to you," said he weakly, "about willing my property " The attorney held up his hand reassuringly. "There, there !" said he, "leave that all to me." The sick man sighed resignedly. "I suppose I might as well," said he. turning upon his pillow. "You'll get it, anyway." Tramp (piteously)—Please help a crip pleat this festive season, sir. Kind Old Gent (handing him some money)—Bless me, why, of course. How are you crippled my poor fellow ? Tramp (pocketing the money)—Financially crippled, sir. He—What would you do, Miss Shape- leigh, if a man were to kiss you? She— I would cry. He—But if he did it again? She—I would probably cry "more." Representative Olmstead of Pennsylvania says that old Dr. Levi Bull was a clergyman of the Episcopal faith, and lived in Chester county, his state, many years ago. The good old Doctor was called upon to baptize a child the offspring of a family with the surname of Frog. Without any prel iminary observa-. tions the father and mother were called to the font at the end of the second part or lesson of the service. "Name t!ui child," said the doctor. "We name it after yon, sir," said the mother, in a low voice, as she handed the baby to the do- - tor. "Oh but yon named the last after me. It was christened Levi," said.the minister. "Well, doctor, call this one after yonr t'other name." And so tht minister did, christening it Bull, and the youngster went forth with the cognomen of Bull Frog. «|My sakes ! How well yonr husband is trained. How did you ever do it?" 'I didn't. He was a widower when I got him. It saves a lot of trouble." Mamma—Fighting again, Willie? Didn't I tell you to stop and count one hundred whenever you were angry? Wilhe-But it didn't do any good, ma. Look what the Jones boy did while I counted!
