It’s the live men who suffer a tempor-
ary sacrifice in order to gain ultimately.
We came to this city to establish a model
clothing store. We did it, but now see
that it would have been better to. have
invested ail money and space in Hats,
Shoes and Furnishings. We are alive—
we’re fighting against the stream of those
who would sit back and wait for some
one to take the clothing off their hands at
a profit. We're turning the goods into
cash, while they’re new, because we believe
the loss will be less than if we waited
months to do it. No suits cr overcoats
in Oklahoma are made up of better fab-
rics. None are better fitters. None are

ft is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more elegant "perspire”
drove out the vulgar “sweat." Aeeord-
ing to a writer in the Gentleman's
Magazine in 1791, "for some time past
neither mail, woman nor child in
Great Britain and Ireland, of any rank
or fashion, has been subject to the
gross form of exudation which was
formerly known as sweat.' Now ev-
ery mortal, except carters, coal to :i
vers a id charmen, merely ‘perspire.'
For tl ose 20 years past the word
‘swea ' has been gradually becoming
more and more odious." Before 1770
or so “perspiration” commi nly m< nt
an Insensible process, "sweating" iho
grosser variety thereof. In one of his
sermons Wesley remarked that "dur-
ing a night s sleep a healthy man i rs-
pires one part in four less when he
sweats than when he does on,. ' Tout
would be meaningless to-day

First Coal Found in Virginia.
Accorling to the Investigation of
the fluted States geological survey,
Virginia was ILe pioneer coal produ-
cing stale The occurrence of coal
was known in the Richmond btisin as
early as 1700. and in 17S9 shlpinentn
were made to some of the northern
states. In 18S2. according to !? C
Taylor, the production amounted to
IS,214 gross tone. The first *■* ai
taken from what Is usually termed
the Richmond basin, n smnll area In
the southeastern portion of Vlralula,

coni beds are much distorted and the
coal Is of rather low grade wVi com-
pared with that from other dlatrh "
with which It has to come Into com
petition This coal Is now mined only
for local consumption.
I'nder the ooze and slime of the
river bed, far beneath the hulls of the
great ships that lay at anchor in the
middle of the stream, O'Donovan and
Healy fought out their quarrel.
O Donovan had taken Kate's photo-
graph from his overalls ostentatiously
and kissed it, looking the while'insuH-
ingly toward his former friend and
conquered rival in the tight for the
girl's favor. Then he had laid by his
overalls again and squared his naked
shoulders to the s] ade This w as the
InBtant when Healy sprang on him
from behind as a panther springs.
They had no knives, and they could
only cling to one another and batter
each other’s faces with their fists.
They fought alone within the narrow
air-tight zone, out of the sight and
hearing of the rest of the gang.
In front of them the great shield
fitted snugly into the tunnel which it
had made, and all around oozed the
gray slime, kept from overwhelming
them only by the force of the com-
pressed air, a wall that wavered under
the pressure, sometimes seeming to
advance and then to recede again, and
filtering into small waves that colled
rotfhd the it feet as they st mbled
backward and forward in that wild
battle.
At length the fight was over. Healy
tripped over the ear tracks, and a mo-
ment later O’Donovan had flung him
face downward into the muddy pool.
He stood over him with his fists
clinched, his face distorted and the
muscles leaping at every movement
under the bronzed skin. But Healy
lay there moaning faintly. He had
1j,-,.|) Wei st‘ d.
■Suddenly faint shouts were heard
from the midst of the tunnel and the
muffled ringing of the alarm bell.
O’Donof n looked round in panic
fhe walla v. ite advancing, walls of
slimy, gray-green ooze-viscid, clammy
and foul walls of river mud that wav-
ered and broke and trembled as the
feeble power of the compressed air
retained them, and then swept for-
ward in a shuddering tidal wave.
With one yell of horror O'Donovan
leaped forward toward the safety of
the tunnel. He ran on and on blindly,
no longer a reasoning thing, but aa
animal driven by desperate instinct.
Then far in the distance the faint light
of a bulb burst on his eyes and distant
cries became audible. And then, re-
called to himself suddenly, he stopped.
He turned each way resolutely Beads
of sweat rolled down his cheeks and
he clasped his hands in anguish He
1 breathed a prayev
Then he went back Swiftly as he
had fled he ran. ankle-deep through
the soft mud that sucked at his feet,
striding and‘leaping over the granite
piles and excavations in desperate
haste to reach the comrade whom he
had abandoned. And now the hiss of
the mud tide resounded in dreadful
gurgles through the hollow tunnel.
He was not an, instant' too soon.
The walls were closing together,
spurting before them long lava-like
streams of slime waist-deep around
him. And Healy was standing hard
against the shield, clinging to it with
*bolh hi. i<i.\ Iieiii as in a vise by lit.-
slime.
O'Donovan caught his enemy b"
the armtf and heaved. His broad back
strained and cracked beneath the ef-
fort. And slowly, very slowly, the mud
yield* d its victim. Inc h by inch

wide furrow^ that instantly closed in
behind hit . drawing his T If
scions adversary toward the shelter of
the tunnel.
With a roar like distant thunder the
walls leaped together and a big wave
came rolling down on them, it bat-
tered against ttic- roof behind them as
they ran, deluging them with liquid
grime and ooze; it roared behind
them, luit faster still they hurried to-
wards safety, until at last they fell
exhausted at the tunnel entrance and
willing bands hauled them up the
shaft together.
When O’l'onoTan opened his eyes
and heard himself called a hero he
surprised himself by bursting into
tears Then he stag?' red to h s feet
and went over to Healy.
"Take this," he said, passing a thin
piece of cardboard into his hand. "It's
you she loves, Tim. Sure, and I lied
