LIFE OF FRANKLIN.
WAS ONE OF THIS COUNTRY'S
GREATEST MEN.
A Most Interesting Characterize Ex-
celled in More Points than Any
Other American and Earned Fame
in Whatever Direction He Turned.
Man Among Men.

1t was 1O5 years ago that Benjamin
Franklin died, in some respects the
greatest man this country has produced
He was certainly most interesting
one. His life touches so many points
of interest, he was so prominent in
many fields that history easily accords
him lofty rank. He was at once
philosopher, statesman, diplomat, sci
enlist, inventor and wit and as writer
Of English second to scarcely any. The
story of such life cannot help but be
interesting as illustrative of how much
an earnest man can make of himself
when to that end he bends every en-
ergy of his mind.
Franklin's parents had gone to Bos-
ton some time before his birth and set
tied there with large family Of chill
dren. Here the subject Of this sketch
was born in January, 17O6. He showed
in boyhood a great precocity and eager

hands on. His father wanted to send
him to Harvard and fit him for the min
istry, but felt that this he could not
afford in his straitened circumstances
and so took him in to his own chambers
shop to teach him the trade. But
Franklin disliked the work, and so was
apprenticed to his brother, who had a
printing Office. In 1921 this brother be-
gan publishing the New England Cour-
ant, the third paper published in Bos-
ton, and Franklin contributed various
articles to it. One of these on political
authorities that the young author was
threatened with Imprisonment. He
thought it was a good time for him to
get out of Boston, and accordingly he
made his way to Philadelphia.
His journey to that city was attended

What Theodore Roosevelt Says OF the

When asked what he would say to

Theodore Roosevelt, the courageous
president Of the Board Of Police Com

work as quick beside Pat Dugan as

duty to his family, but he who has

ValOr Rewarded,

One raw and stormy night last April
the crew of the Hamburg line steamer
Normannia rescued under great difficult
ties and at serious risk Of their own
lives the entire crew of the British YES
sci Arno, near the English coast. This
came as a very pretty and magnani-
nous answer to the British seamen's
conduct on the sinking Elbe two months
before. The British admiralty, some
what late. has DOW done the handsome
thing by decreeing the payment of
about $4,000 to the owners, the captain
and the crew of the Normannia for
their brave nights work.

Another friend was Sir William Keath,
and this gentleman felt so great an af-
fection for the boy that he offered to
set him up in business. He advised
Franklin to go over to England and
buy printing press. promising to pay
his expenses and give him letters to
some powerful people there. Franklin
sailed; but when he arrived in England
he found Keith had neither forwarded
money as he had promised, or letters,
and SO he was left absolutely penniless
and friendless in strange land. But
Franklin was the last .one to be dis
mayed by such conditions and boldly
set to work, both to make friends and
find work. In both he was successful
and passed eighteen months in London,
during which he saw much and learned
a good deal, so that, when he returned

A recent blunder in the Chicago

ably mingled famous. Two editorials
were written, one on Different Minds

The record-b breaking trip of a New
York Central train from New York city
to Buffalo, 1861 miles in Hay minutes.
or something over GO miles an hour, is
not much of gain over the rate of
speed maintained by the English train
that ran Aug % from London to Aber-
deem, distance Of $40 miles, in 512
minutes. But it is enough to regain
the championship which that speed
Wrested from us, and that is no small
matter in the eyes Of England. When
the Standardization record was made
the English and Scotch newspapers ut
tered a great noise and agreed that,
as the London Times put it, 1.-THE cham
pionship has been SO peremptorily re-
claimed for England that our American
cousins are hardly likely to try conclu-
sions with us again for some time"
And now, within a month, conclusions
have been tried, and the championship
SO peremptorily reclaimed has been
WreSted away from our British cousins
It is true that the distance between
London and Aberdeen is greater than
that between New York and Buffalo.
But this advantage possessed by us is
more than offset by the much greater
weight of the American train-175 tons
to 106 tons-by the grade crossings, and
by the fact that in passing through
Albany, Syracuse and Rochester the
train was compelled to run very slowly.
Altogether, America may fairly claim to
be entitled to all the glory there is in
the achievement. How old Stephenson
would have stared if he could have
stood beside the track and seen this
flying train 60 whiZzing past, out of
sight in no time! But how we shah
stare if we revisit the earth a hundred
years hence and find (as probably we
shalD that rails and railway trains
have been abandoned and that our de-
scendants are shooting hitler and
thither in air ships at 200 miles an hour!
And that Will be no more extraordinary
then than is now a speed Of Ga miles on
the surface of the globe. But one thins
is certain: America will hold the cham
pionship in airship races as in railway
and yacht races now.

Awell-Known Newspaper Man OF New

According to the Morning Journai, OF

An Expressive Words Origin.

1t is curious that the word BLACK
guard" came into the language just
about the time when coal came into do
nestle use. In the sixteenth century
GOLFERS were far from popular. and in
great houses the unliveried menials en-
ployed to carry Goals to the fires were
called "black guards Putting two
and two together, as it were, the word
'blackguard" soon became term of
reproach. The reason why Golfers
were disliked was that Goals were for
a long time popularity supposed by the
ignorant masses to be unwholesome.
Thus a man who would carry Goals
was easily judged capable of any in
dignity. The ''knavery of the GOLFERS
of Newcastle is referred to by Decker
1607-and contemporary and earlier
writer's have also sneering or depreca-
tory references.

" Busy Bee" in the Caucasian |

Busy Bee" in the Caucasian
Last week that staunch weekly,
the Bossier Banner, completed it's
thirty third volume under the man
agemenf of Mr.. W. II. Scanland, its
first and only editor and proprietor.
The Banner has had quite remarka-
BILE record. It came into existence
thirty live years ago. For two years
during the war it was suspended for
want of material, the remaining thirty
three years it has never missed an
issue, and its steadfast, answering
loyalty to the tenets of it's faith, "a
pure Democracy" has always been
recognised.
During all these years the Banner
has been absolutely under the control
of its present owner, except for one
day, August 3, 1866, when martial
law reigned in Louisiana. The United
States authorities invaded the sane
tum of the Banner, turned the editor
out and placed an armed negro sentry
in charge.
This was because of so-called trea-
sonable utterances.
Friends in Shreveport interceded
with Colonel Foley, the officer CON-
handing at Shreveport, and the
"rebel editor" was restored to his
rights.
The Banner has had long and
eventful career, with many trials and
tribulations, doubtless, but its record
has never been sullied. It stands
to-day as it did in its youth-the
fearless champion of truth and justice
May its future be even more pros
porous than it's past.
