WORDS OF WISDOM.
cd deed never dies.

A good deed never dies.
Cant carries no conviction.
The best berries ripen where the
biggest thorns are.
Cultivate the field of life clear up to
the corners.
The man who lives tor self is not
missed when he dies.
Don't be nodded by your circum-
stances; mold them.
The way to get over your troubles
is to get under them.
By using what we have we gain
that which we have not.
Anger closes the eyes of reason as
soon as it opens the mouth.
Don't blow out the lamp of reason
for the gas light of wit.
In proportion as you say, ST am not
my own," all things become yours.
The man who does his own think
ing becomes O focus for all the refec-
tors.
There is no slave so sadly bound as
the one who thinks he is free to serve
his own lusts.
Don't build the gingerbread house
of cheap reputation on the ten-cent
foundation of inexperience. 8

"oh, Myi Oh, MY, Wasn't scared.n

"oh, Myi Oh, MY! L Wasn't Scared"
A surgeon relates that before Santi.
ago, he (the surgeon), going to the
front, came upon young officer, sit
ting beside the road, trembling like a
leaf, and whittier than the dead men
around him. At sight of the surgeon
he began to talk, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
"Im q coward, I'm coward, I'm
coward" he said; II knew I'd run,
and did. I'm disgraced forever. I
was going along all right, not thinking
of anything but getting at the dashed
Spaniards, yelling to my men to come
on, and running ahead as fast as l
could, when all of sudden stubbed
my toe, or something, and then can't
remember being scared, but I must
have been, for came galloping back
here, sick as dog. I'm coward, and
1 wish were dead Why don't some-
body shoot me? I've got such an aw-
full goneness right here" and he put
his hand to his stomach.
The surgeon gave him quick look
and caught him as he plunged forward
in faint. Where the awful goneness
was Mauser bullet had found its
billet. They carried the wounded
man to the field hospital, and he
chuckled all the way. ooh, my! oh,
my" he said, over and over; 81
wasn't scared! I wasn't scared"
And then he would laugh delightedly:
81 wasn't scared. I was hit-I was
Just hit. / amt q coward after all. u

The wonderful growth of the tele-
graph business can best be shown by
quoting some figures. Thirty years
ago there were only 5000 telegraph
offices and little more than rs, 900
miles of wire strung throughout the
length and breadth OF the land. At
the present time there are about 90, =
900 Offices and over l, 900, 900 miles of
wire. The annual number of mes
sages handled thirty years ago was
5,S79, ,282; today it is $4,000, OOO
The average cost to the sender thirty
years ago was 81 OH; the average
cost today is 800 cents. At the start
the cost to the company was more than
twice what it is today to the sender.

Good Roads Congress.

The Farmers National Congress,
which has just closed its annual ses-
sion at Fort Worth, Texas, has adopted
resolutions strongly indorsing the sys-
tenn Of State Aid to road building, and
commencing the efforts of the League
of American Wheelmen for it's general
introduction.
The resolutions in full are as follows
Resolved, That the best interests of
American agriculture demand the con-
struction of frst-class roads connect
ing farms with market towns;
'That the cost of their construction
is too considerable to be borne by
farm property alone;
"That, as the entire population is in
terested in and benefited, directly and
indirectly, by good roads, all property
ought to contribute to the cost of their
construction, through the medium Of
State tax;
"That we indorse the system of
State cid to roads, because it appears
to solve the good roads problem in
the farmers interests; it largely de-
creases the cost of road construction
to local communities, provides the
means by which the large city tax
payers and corporations owning valu-
able franchises from the State are
made to share in the expense, and
properly leaves it optional with farm
ing districts to avail themselves of its
provisions or not, as they may choose;
'"rhat we believe the State aid sys-
tenn suitable to most States in the
Union, and commend the efforts of
the National Road Parliament. the
League of American Wheelmen and
the Government Office of Road In
quiry to make this system .of road
construction generally known and un-
derstood, and to bring about its gen
eral adoption.

Who shall say to what extent the
exposures and the comments of the
newspapers have prevented abuses
and deferred wrougdoers? Call it
newspaper scolding if you will, yet
who can maintain that it does no
good? Thousands of people would
never follow the straight aud narrow
path were it not for fear of the pub
licity of the newspapers, says the
Milwaukee journal. Besides, the
newspaper serves to hold up before
the young and those active in life
some sort OF a standard Of right do
ing.

The most critical road inspector is
the bicycle.
The resolution of the Good Roads
Parliament "that each agricultural
college (ought toy furnish a course on
good roads construction" should re-
ceive prompt and careful consideration
by every one of those institutions.
On the road question, J. NJ. S. says
in the L. A. w. Bulletin: "To my
mind more common sense would help
US. Narrow roads, q more convex sur
face, and frequent small repairs; but
unless we do these things ourselves /
don't see how they will be done. Open
bitches, kept open, and wide-tire
law would help u.s."
"Good roads assist in making pros
perity for farmers. Prosperou STAR
mers bring prosperity for cities.
Prosperous cities and farming dis
tricts, when coincident, mean happy
people, healthy people-healthy be-
cause happy. A happy and healthy
people is the goal of existence. Good
roads are great foroe in reaching the
goal. Therefore all classes should as
! sist in securing them"

A Hint About Tea Making.

DIR. Goodfellow, an English analyst
of note, denies the oft-heard state
ment that anybody can make a good
cup of tea. He lays down half a
dozen rules, as follows:
l. Always use good tea.
9. Use water which has just got to
the boil.
3. Infuse about four minutes.
A. Do not allow the leaves to stand
in the infusion.
5. Avoid second brews and used tea
leaves.
6. If suffering from heart or nervous
complaints, only use the very finest
qualities of tea, with short infusion.
If this cannot be afforded give up tea
altogether.

"Wood is bringing fabulous prices
in Vassar nowadays on account OF
the condition of the roads," says the
Vassar mich. Pioneer. "Almost any
kind of fuel is eagerly sought after by
dozen or more purchasers almost be-
fore it gets into town. The high prices
will not last longer, probably, than
do the muddy roads, when hauling is
an easier task" The Grand Rapids
Herald adds that substantially the
same condition of affairs exists in every
county in Michigan. The autumnal
rains have done their work, and with
roads hub-deep or bottomless, rural
traffic is impeded or stopped entirely,
and this will continue until friendly
freeze makes the roads hard again. ="

Buried with His Weapons.

A doctor died and was buried at
Miltonville the other day. In the
funeral procession the doctors team
was lead just behind the hearse and
propped on the buggy seat was the
doctor'e medicine case. And yet
some people reject the belief that
heredity has brought down to US the
customs of 5000 years ago. The
earliest account of man tells us that
the warrior was buried with his
weapons. Kansas City Journal.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A Table Bookcase

An odd table bookcase has three
shelves for books, the highest about
as high as an ordinary table. A shelf
is built at either end at the height Of
the second shelf, on which a teacup,
inkstand, a vase of flowers or some
other "id to industry" can be placed.
The set OF shelves is strongly built,
so that heavy lamp can be placed
on the top without any fear of a
eatastrope.

The window should be made quite
decorative feature of the room, not
simply left, as it often seems to be, to
the tender mercies of a pair of muslin
or thick curtains, allowed to hang al
most as they please ON either side.
True, the ordinary sash window
which is found in the majority of
houses, does not seem to lend itself in
any way to decorative treatment; still
there are ways and means by which
even this seemingly hopeless struc-
ture may be converted into effective
shape if not into absolute picturesque
ness.
An attractive treatment for the
window is to have the frame taken
entirely out and substitute q loaded
glass easement opening outward in
the centre; but this naturally is an
extensive change, and partakes more
OF structural alteration, which should
hardly be undertaken except on free
hold property. Much can be done in
the way of improvement without al
tering the glass by the skillful manip-
ulation of draperies and the arrange
ment of window seat.
The bow window requires little
care in draping, and should never be
cut off from the room by having q
straight curtain pole fixed across it.
The pole should be shaped to the
window. and the curtains fixed near
to the glass, with pair of heavy
handsome ones at the sides. A win
dow seat will also be found helpful
addition, or large Chesterfield may
find place in the recess with very
good effect.
With the long French window
there can be no difficulty, as its only
requirement is short festoon drapery
at the top, with nice pair of side
curtains; but the square window is al
together different, and must have
short draperies falling from the top to
just below the ledge, fixed close to the
glass, and the window seat is almost
an indispensable adjunct.
The small easement window is
without doubt the least troublesome Q
to arrange, us it is already decora-
tive feature, which only needs pretty
short curtains to complete. -Philadel-
phia Press.

ANOTHER,

Ten thousand men obeyed his hyhtes,
world;
de pressed button at his desk and 10
Men who for years had struggled on and
on
Awoke to find their dreams of riches gone,
And bowing servants saw him come and
go.
He spoke, and markets rose forthwith or
fell;
He governed all that mighty wealth will
buyl
Fame, honor, power, homage he possessed.
And yesterday you would have called him
blest-
But millionaires and paupers have to
diel
The shouting in the market still goes on,
Though whispering servants tiptoe
through his hall;
How pooc was l beside him yesterday
How rich, to-day, beside his pulseless
clay
Make fast the lid and let the curtains
fail.

One of the latest examples of the
ability of the United States to sue
cessfully display its practical inde-
pendence of the rest of the world is
furnished by the course of prices in
the iron and steel industry, says
Bradstreet's. In most European coun-
tries the tendency of the iron and
steel market has been upward for
some years past, active demand fur
nishing satisfactory reasons for this
price development. In this country,
however, the contrary has been the
case, and the tendency has been toward
The lowering of the price of both the
crude and manufactured product. At
xention has been called to this feature
5y some foreign trade papers,
which contrast the upward movement
in prices which has occurred abroad
with the even more pronounced down
ward movement occurring in iron and
steel products in the United States.
In the case of Germany advances have
been particularly marked in pig iron,
but it is to be remarked also that
the price of iron and steel in Other
countries, not excepting Great Britain,
have all been toward higher plane.
In this country the contrary has beer
the case, and on total volume o
business, unprecedented in size, values
have shown little improvement ovel
one or two years ago.

Deceptive Photographs of the Sultan.

Photographs Of the Sultan have
been much in evidence in consequence
of the Kaiser's visit to the Holy Land.
But these portraits give false i'm
preston of the Sultan as he really
looks to-day. Abdul Hamid has lot
had his photograph taken for twenty
two years, and the pictures which
have appeared in the illustrated papers
represent him as he was when he as
aended the throne. The Sultan was
born in 1912, and he is therefore
fifty-six years old. He wears O long
beard, which is now turning gray.
When he was prince he was without
a beard, but as soon as he assembled
the throne he abandoned the use of
razors.-Londsn Globe
