SEVERAL WAYS.

There il more than one way to kill a
cat. There is more than n way to kill
many other things.
A great many towns thet ought to
have prospered and blossomed like the
rose, have been frosted, blighted or kill
ed by the negative course OF the people
who lived in them. Natural location
and peculiar advantages count for m
thing in the growth of a place, but they
will never avail much unless they are
coupled with a genuine and progressive
public spirit among the people who set
tie there. The ways in which towns are
annihilated or stunted-and n is as
| bad as the other-are ~innumerable, but
there are some that come quickly to
mind that may be mentioned. There is
that strange creature, worse than a
snake in the grass, who, in order to
satisfy some petty revenge, will set to
work deliberately to destroy business,
credit or break down the reputation of
his neighbors. Then there is his close
kinsman, who ascribes TO every man who
is alert in pushing on improvements and
manifesting public spirit, some un.
worthy motive.
Belonging to another class, but equal
ly detrimental to the common welfare,
are those twins of monumental egotism
and c~onceit, one of whom derides and
pronounces chimercal and unsafe any
thing proposed in which he is q promi-
nent factor, and the other who takes
equal delight In hindering and opposing
anything which does not directly put
dollars into his pockets.
Again there are those counterparts of
one another, one imagining that he has
a patent right on the town. When
anything is proposed it must first have
his o. X. stamped on it in round plain
letters or 1t doesn't go. The other 10
opposed to all progress on general prin-
ciples. He was born that way and
never had sufficient energy to reform.
In addition to these there are those
who make it a point TO buy eS erything
outside Of town that they need, having
no concern about building up home in
dustries.
Happy the community that has the
smallest possible number Of these folks!
They are dead weights and only serve
to clog and obstruct the pathway of
bright. enterprising, large-hearted men
who believe in building up values about
their own firesides and who watch for
every opportunity to help their town
grow.

Senator Jones on Pensions.

Somebody the other day repeated to q
Cleveland Plain Dealer man a story of
Senator Jones of Nevada, which was
told at a Roadside Club dinner not long
sgo.
The incident was the result OF one Of
President Cleveiand's vetoes. The Pres
ident had voiced an old wonan's pen
sion bill on the grounds that ''she got
drunk"
"Once in San Francisco y said Senator
Jones, as he discussed the veto on the
Senate floor, "a mar fell into a hole in
the sidewalk and sued the city for his
injuries. The defense put in vas that
the man was drunk. This nightly in
censed the Court.
There is nothing in such q defense
said the Judge s~avagely. "a drunken
man has az much right to have q perfect
sidewalk as o sober man, and needs one
worse"
THAT" concluped Jones, sis the way
l feel about this old lady's pension
And he voted to pass Ii over the veto.
The pension went through.

IT looks as if Park River is
not SO free from violators of the
prohibitory law as the papers there
apparently would like the outside
world to think. Last week there
was communication in the
Gazette, in which the writer de-
p]ored the fact that the blind pigs
down there don't wink, while the
bottle industry of the small boys
thrives in a most alarming manner.
When the children of one family
alone in town of the size of Park
River can gather up $500 empty
whiskey TASKS in month it looks
pretty bad.

with other compilations these
figures are found to be accurate,
but they are calculated to cause
tho misleading conclusion that
this country is better supplied
with railroads than Europe, on
account of it's excess of 10000
miles. If the railway mileage of
this and other different European
countries is computed in terms of
hundred square miles of territory
it will be found that the United
States stand near the bottom of
the list and that every 100 square
miles of land we have less than
six miles of railroad. Among
European countries Belgium
comes first with 30 miles of rail
to each 100 square miles. Great
Britain on the same basis has
about three times as much railroad
mileage as the United States, Ger
many, France, Switzerland and the
Netherland, each has relatively
double the mileage of this country,
Italy, even, exceeds the United
States by IL per cent in railroad
mileage on the 100 square miles
basis. On the other hand, Aus.
