Deal Gently With the CranI<s.

S. L. at this point, is a philosopher
as well as "a cultured physician. He
lis & prototype of the illustrious Bob
Burdett and he preached us sug-
gestive little sermon on the very
familiar subject ola Ttcrank. ;"
"What would we do" said the
doctos,' s'were it not for the crank?
How slowly the tired old world
would moYe did not the cranks keep
it rushing along. Columbus was a
crank on the subject Of American
discovery and circumnavigation, and
at last he met the fate of most cranks,
was thrown in prison and died in
poverty and disgrace. Greatly ven
Grated now? Oh, yes, my boy, we
usually esteem a crank most pro
foundry after we starve him to
death. Harvey was crank on the
subject of the circulation of the
blood, Calico was an astronomical
crank. Fulton was crank on steam
navigation. Morse was telegraph
crank. All the old abolitionists
were cranks. The Pilgrim Fathers
were cranks; John Bunyan was a
crank; any man who doesn't think
as the most of us do is a crank
And by and by the crank you de-
spise will have his name in every
mans mouth, and half completed
monument to his memory crumbling
down IN a dozen cities, while no.
body outside of your village will
know that you ever lived. Deal
gently with the crank, my boy.
OF course, some cranks are crankier
than others, but do you be very
slow to sheer at man because he
knows only one thing and you can't
understand him.
A crank is thing that turns
something; it makes the wheels 90
around; it insures progress. True it
turns the same wheels all the time
and it can't do anything else, but
that's what keeps the ship gong
ahead. The thing that goes in for
variety, versatility, that changes its
position hundred times a day,
that is no crank, that is no crank;
that is the weather vane, my boy.
You nevertheless thank heaven you
are not crank. Don't do that,
maybe you couldn't be crank if
you would. Heaven is not very
particular when it wants weather
yane; almost any man will do for
that. But, when it wants crank,
it looks around very carefully for
the best man in the community.
Before you thank heaven you are
not crank, examine yourself care
fully, and see what is the great de-
ficiency that debars you from such
an election ."-Diamondville News.

was probably going at the rate of about
ten miles an hour. or a trif1e faster than
the ordinary speed. The car went about
twenty feet before it was stopped after the
accident occurred.
Edward Parker. conductor of the train.
told the jury that while approaching the 4l2
street crossing Thursday afternoon he
heard the motOrman give a number of
sharp rings of his bell. Looking ahead he
saw an elderly man walking beside the
track Presently the pedestrian started
across the track and the car struck him.
He fell in the fender and then rolled out.
The motorman already had his current
turned off. and When he saw the danger
he APPLIED the brakes. Witness said the
car reached AZ street at 3:1J o'clock. on
time, and when the accident happened it
was making speed of about six miles an
hour.
d. p. McCann. the motorman, described
to the jury the circumstances under which
the accident occurred. He said he was
running car No. 16 Thursday afternoon,
which was due at Az street at 3:15 O'Clock.

his bell several times to warn the pedes-
trian, and when the car was almost up
with him the pedestrian turned and started
across The track. The motorman said he
shut off the current and applied his brakes
as soon as possible. but was unable to pre-
vent Tbs accident. His car was going be-
tween five and six miles an hour at the
time. and was a down grade. Mr..
Fischer did not pay any attention to the
ringing Of the bell. This closed the testi-
rnony.

Capital In Necessary.
But the writer would not advise any one
without ample capital to venture to South

make the poor man rich. and all the mines
are in the hands of companies with thou

other pursuits-there is practically no op-
portunity for the white man. Wages are
not commensurate to the cost of living
To-day there are hundreds of capable white
men out of work, and when peace is de-
CARED industries will not revive with suffi-
Gent rapidity to warrant an American rush
for employment.
If, however, the prospective emigrant has

many good chances for investment. Let
him go to Capetown unbiased and unham-
