8 FOREST GROVE PRESS, FOREST GROVE, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1912. La*t Man In tha Stock». The punishment of the stocks has been inflicted within the mem­ ory o f many living men. In the Manchester Guardian of June 14, 1872, there is an account of a man enduring this form of legal torture at Newbury. lie was a rag and bone dealer of intemperate habits and was fixed in the stocks for drunk and disorderly conduct at the par­ ish church. “ Twenty-six years had elapsed since the stocks were last used,” runs the account, “ and their reappearance created no little sen­ sation and amusement, several hun­ dreds of persons being attracted to the spot where they were fixed.” The “ amusement” does not appear to have been shared by the prison­ er, who was released after four hours and “ seemed anything but pleased with the laughter and de­ rision of the crowd.” — London Chronicle. Juvenile Precocity, Perhaps the most remarkable case of juvenile precocity on rec­ ord is that of Christian Henry Hci- necker, the “ learned boy of Lu­ beck,” born in 1721, who could read before he was one year old and could write before ho was three. Before completing his first twelve months he could recite all the prin­ cipal events in Biblical history, and before he was four he “ knew” the history of all the nations of an­ tiquity, geography, anatomy, the use o f maps, ecclesiastical history and the doctrines of divinity. He spoke German, Latin, French and Dutch. And at the age of four years and four months he died. Papa's Girl. PASSPORTS IN FRANCE. B. C.

According to Bishop 1’ i^lsey, Escoinb and Bishopwearmouth were two of the earliest coal mining set­ tlements. Newcastle coal appears to have come into notice about the year 1234, when Henry III. granted the inhabitants a charter authoriz­ ing them to mine for it. The Chinese knew of and used coal in the thirteenth century. The earliest reference to coal in Belgium is assigned to the year 1198, when a blacksmith at Liege is said to have been the first in the kingdom to em­ ploy it as fuel. Paris received its first coal from Newcastle in 1520. In Scotland coal was worked as early as the twelfth century.— Harper’s. T h » Lynn Man Got In. A shoe salesman from Lynn was very anxious to sell to a large con­ sumer in Cincinnati. The buyer of the Cincinnati house, who had a bizarre sense of humor, bought ac­ cording to whim. When the sales­ man’s card came in he kept it and sent out the office boy with a nickel to pay for it and break the news gently that nothing was doing. The office boy returned with another enrd. “ What’s that fo r ? ” asked the ca­ pricious buyer. “ He said you weren’t getting your money’s worth,” replied the boy. “ He sells two of these cards for a nickel."
