DON'T KICK OR KNOCK.
A Marietta COntempory Makes
Some Sage Remarks.

Don't kick or knock or balk. If
your neighbor is prosperous let him
prosper. Don't grunt, growl or 2rum-
BILE. Say good word for him. and let
it go at that. Don't be a knocker.
Your turn will come no one man is
the whole show. If you see the town
is moving along, feel good about it.
Help it along. Shove little. Push.
Try and get little of the benefit
Yourself. Don't stand around like
chilly old cadaver. Don't waste your
time feeling sore because some other
fellow has little more sand and sense
than you have. Do a little hustling
yourself. Don't be knocker. If you
have good word say it like a prince.
II you are full OF bile and feel disposed
to say something mean, keep your
mouth shut. Don't be kuocker. No
man ever gets rich or happy Winding
everybOdy's business but his own. No
man ever helped himselfup permanent
~ by knocking his neighbor down.
Give him kind word Give it liberal
ly. 1t won'6 cost you cent;-you may
want one yourself some day. You may
have thousands today, and next day be
without the price of shave. So don't
be a knocker. You can't afford it.,
1t won't pay. There is nothing in it,
If YOU want to throw something at
somebody, throw cologne. Or roses.
Don't throw brick oats. Or mud.
Don't be knocker. If you must kick
90 around behind the barn and take q
kick at yourself. For you are the man
that needs kicking. Don't be a knock

Sewing Done by Ants.

Ants are credited with so many mar
velous accomplishments that q new one
must be remarkable to the noteworthy.
Mr.. e. G. Green of Ceylon, an authori-
ty upon insect habits, has. however.
made an observation which is we'll
worth putting on record. He has watch
ed red ants holding grubs in their
mouths and using the web they spin to
repair rent in their nest.
Some leaves which had been fastened
together by the ants We're separated by
Mr.. Green, and in short time after he
saw small white grubs being passed
backward and forward across the gap.
Closer observation showed that each
grub was held in the jaws of one of the
worker ants, and its movements were
directed as required. A continuous
thread of silk issued from the mouth of
each grub and was used by the ants to
sew up the rent in their shelter
There We're no grubs in the neighbor-
hood, and those used were obtained
from nest at some distance This de-
liberate use of a naturally formed web
as sewing thread is as astonishing as
any instance of the intelligence of ants
yet observed.

PROCESS TOO Expensive.

Warts are curious things. They
come and go mysteriously, although
their going is frequently marked by
eNasperating delays, and there are al
most as many infallible cures as there
are warts, the only trouble with these
cNres being that they are useless when
applied to the particular wart you hap
pen to have. They are only good for
other peoples.
I'm my opinion said clubman who
was discussing the subject with q
friend one day. "a wart is merely the
outward correspondence of some men
tai eXcrescence. Get rid of that, and
it goes away.
Let me give you a bit Of my own
experience" he continued. Last year
l went to Europe. For about three
years had had wart on my little fin
ger, on which had tried everything I
could hear of. but without effect. 1t
only grew larger.
well, in the excitement of preparing
for the trip and of the journey itself
forgot all about my wart, and when I
looked for it about six weeks later it
had vanished without leaving the
slightest mark. l simply forget it, and
it had 10 mental condition to feed on.
l see you have one on the back of your
hand. Forget all about it for few
weeks, and it will go away of ITSELF"
Yes" said the other clubman, shrug-
ging his shoulders, but 1 can't afford
to take a trip to Europe for the sake Of
curing one wart.'

Peculiar Trees.

The visitor to the Falkland islands
sees number of what appear to be
weather beaten, moss covered powders
of various sizes scattered here and
there. On attempting to turn one over
he is surprised to find that it is anchor

strength. These are not powders. They
are trees. No other place in the world
can show such popularity of forest"
growth. The Falkland islands are ex-
posed to strong polar wind which rem
ders it impossible for trees to grow in
the proper form. Nature has conse-
quently adapted herself to the prevail

Fatal Accident.

Last Monday Herman Hahn, son of
Chris Hahn, was dragged to death by
~ colt he had lead to water. The colt
was not of a wild nature but was well
broken to the halter as they lead it to
water every day. But this time
Herman had for some reason taken
the halter of and placed a rope twenty
feet long or more around the colts
neck. 1t seems he had led the colt to
water and had taken it to the barn
when it became frightened from some
unknown cause and dashed out of the
barn. The rope was jerked from his
hand, and he in some manner got his
foot through moose in the end of the
rope and could not get loose. He
made two or three Intellectual at.
tempts to get hold of the rope after he
started, but could not reach it. The
colt Jan about eighty rods before it
stopped and then of its own accord
stopped and came back to the boy and
stood quietly beside him, nor would it
leave after his father reached his side
until driven away by force. His faith
er saw the colt start and could see his
boy dragged to his awful death, some
times on the ground and sometimes in
the air, while he was perfectly help
less to do a thing to help him. He
reached his side as quick as possible,
but the boy breathed but few times
9afterward. He was almost entirely
destitute of clothing aud awfully
bruised up.
