The plant of the Bed Bun Coal Company, near Balaton, in Lyooming County rtnd.

not 'far south of tfie Tioga county line where it bdonds Union township, was the scene of a fatal accident Thursday morning, in consequence of which one man Michael Bgan, aged 23 and unmarried'-- was injured fatally, and died about two hours afterwards. He" was the' employe' to Ioe6 hia iife while in the Company's service. Wetgel Beed, another man, was injured seriously, oiling crushed badly about the body. At 1 o'clock in ths the heavy fog, as four loaded coal cars from the mints were being hauled -up a steep incline, the cable broke.

half an hour after befng admitted. But is there any extraneous appliance that can keep human nature from oecasional-oveiaction? I asked. I have a plan," replied Phil, and have begun to put it in operation. My plan is to find men who are happy and "nstil into their minds the idea that they are deluded. When I find men who only think they are happy, I assure them thinking is a dangerous business.

When I find persons who are reveling in the idea that' they are on the verge of seing happy, I direct their attention to illusoriness of mundane affairs, and things are not what they When I have implanted doubt of the evidences of their senses in the minds of aappy persons, they at once begin to 1 compare their condition with that of persons who have -more money, more louses and lands, and more of the luxuries of life. This creates a powerful check and such persons become discon- und hence lees cocksure that they are happy. Sometimes they insist upon the reality of their happiness and call me an idiot; but I am accustomed toin- gratituda, and keep right on until they at last conclude that they might be happier. I have less trouble with such as only think they are happy. Their minds are good soil in which the seeds of doubt germinate freely.

From thinking they are happy they soon come to think that they are unfortunate. When I get them into that mental frame the rest is easy. They will keep on until they are incapable of thinking at all; and when you get-men in to that condition you can do almost anything with They become pliant, they believe anything that goes- to show that they have not all they ought to have. I have organized a party out of that class. I have to do their thinking, of course, but that is easy.

You haVe a formula and repeat it constantly, aqd they last regard the formula as The class alwayi oh the verge of happiness, who have, in their own opinion, sighted perfect cause more trouble than any other class. Twy abide the land of Expectancy, sleep to dream of the Delectable Mountains, and awake in' the expectation of finding an automobile at the -door to take them to th country if ft ey live in the city, or to the city if they live in the country. One cannot discount human expectations. Such persons lead two distinct lives--one in fact and one in ear- 'pectation. Yon may remember that when your elders promised yon a whipping before-you-went to bed yon suffered twice as much in the expectation as yon did nnder the apple-tree sprout.

Well, just reverse the subject matter; when yon saw and sniffed the good things of the Thanksgiving dinner as a boy, after the dinner'was over, and had" crept into the haymow-with-the stomach- you that the dinner in expectation was much more enjoyable than the dinner eaten.
