Looking at Both Sides.

To De willing to see and ap-
preciate an opponents point OF
view is not to sacrifice ones own
convictions of right, but to cult
vate a spirit of tolerance and jus
tice. The truly patriotic man is
just and generous, while the
mere partisan is purely selfish.
Patriotism may be broadly de
fined as an ardent desire and in
tentiou to promote the best in
terests of ones own land, with
out the desire or intention to do
hurt to any other country until
the latter has been justly con-
victed of some form of criminal
aggression.-Macon Telegraph.

Tar and Turpentine for
Diphtheria.

The Scientific American gives
this recipe as one which the
world ought to know At the
first indication Of diphtheria in
the throat of a child. make the
room close and then take a metal
cup and pour into it quantity
of tar and turpentine, equal parts.
Hold the cup over the fire SO as
to fill the room with fumes The
patient on inhaling the fumes
will cough up and spit out all
membranous matter and the
d1ph liberia will pass out. The
fumes of tar and turpentine
loosen the throat and afford a
relief that has baff1ed the skill OF
physicians. Great care must be
exercised to prevent the tar and
turpentine, which are highly
inhammable. from taking fire.

Long Life.

An octogenarian sends the
following maxims for long life :
"No pies or cakes; no pains or
aches Most men dig their
graves with their teeth. Don't
get angry or excited; every time
you fret you lose a minute OF
life. If you overwork your liv
er it will soon tell on your brain.
Live like farmer, and you will
live like prince. Men can live
ten days without eating; they
can't do without pure air for five
minutes. If you catch cold,
lose your quinine and eat an
onion. Employ yourself in use
full work, and take plenty of
sleep.'

They Are What You Make
Them.

Once upon a time there was
said to be man moving from
one section of the country to an
other. One night while camp
ing near farm house, the gems
tleman went out to chat him
awhile. The man who was
moving said that he was glad to
get away from his old neigh bor>
hood-that he had the meanest
neighbors in the world. His
visitor replied, They will be
just that sort where you are GO
ing"
Soon, another man from the
same neigh borhood camped at
the same place and had the same
visitor. lie remarked that he
was sorry to leave his old neigh
bOrhood, for he had the best
neighbors IN the world. "You
need not trouble yourself about
that" said the other, you will
have just as kind neighbors
where you are going "

a Sta nIey County Man
Who Makes Organs.

Mr.. I. F. Osborne, the organ
builder, Of Stanley county. was
in the city last Monday. He has
built thirty-two organs within
the past tour years. Mr.. Os-
borne says that his organ build
ing was the outgrowth of a great
desire to own an organ, and not
being able to purchase one and
having a mechanical turn of
mind he set to work and built
an organ. His first organ was
a very crude affair, but it did
what 1t was built for. 1t made
music. Since then Mr.. Osborne
has had many orders for instru>
ments. He makes a good double
reed, eleven stop, solid oak-case
organ and sells them for thirty
five dollars each. Those who
have tried Mr.. Osborne's organs
say they are equal to the organs
of Northern make which sell
for seventy five dollars.-Mon>

It.IS'nt Great

The cost of insurance
isn't great. The ease OF
mind, the feeling of secur-
ity it brings you is worth
ten times as much as you
have to pay for the pro-
lection. And if your prop
erty wasn't insured, and it
should burn up, what
would be your condition?
Uninsured property is
very uncertain wealth.
What you call home to-
day may be a heap OF
ruins tomorrow.
Some insurance policies
are very questionable Sc
curity, and insurance IN
one company costs just as
much as in another.
Be careful what COM
pany's policy you buy,
Investigate the character
and financial standing OF
the company before you
buy insurance.

SOUND KEEPS FLIES AWAY.
That IL why Musicians Are Not An
noyed While They Are
Playing.

"While listening to an open-air con-
cert the other day." said young man,
reports the Philadelphia Record, 81
was greatly annoyed by the flies, which
were so persistent that / could hardly
drive them away. wondered how
the musicians, with both hands busy
playing, stood them, and drew near
the shell in which they sat to see. To
my surprise 1 found that there was
lot fly in the shell, and then, to my
greater surprise, discovered why this
was. The sound waves of the music,
rolling with tremendous volume from
the shell, kept out the flies. The in
sects could not fly against the waves,
though they tried hard. Hundreds Of
them were struggling frantically to
reach the shell, but they might as well
have tried to fly against a tornado as
against those sound waves. Thus pro-
tected, inclosed by a magic curtain
made Of their own music, the musicians
played Wagner, unannoyed by the
sticky and Fostering flies"

The shark a. a Swimmer.

For long-distancs swimming the
shark may be said TO hold the record,
as he can outstrip the swiftest ships
apparently without effort, swimming
and playing around them and ever on
the lookout for prey. Amy human be-
ing falling overheard in shark-fre-
quented waters has very little chance
of escape, so rapid is the action Of the
shark, the monster of the deep. The
dolphin, another fast-swimming fish
a near relative of the whales credit
ed with a speed of considerably over 20
miles an hour. For short distances
the salmon can outstrip every other
fish, accomplishing its 25 miles an hour
with ease. The Spanish mackerel is
one of the fastest of food fishes and
cuts the water like a yacht. Preda-
tory fish are generally the fastest
swimmers.

I have no doubt but that this coun-
try excels as grazing or ranching
country, because they have such rich
grass, having an abundance of rain to
keep it fresh. They also have plenty
of water streams, and a rule water
may be reached at depth of from 20
to 40 feet. From this you can see
there can be plenty OF hay mown for
winter feeding, and I have had re-
liable farmers to tell me that their
stock will feed on hay alone. and be
ready for market in the spring Upon
inquiring about the expense OF raising
a steer, farmer replied that he did
not consider 1t would cost any more
than 81 or Sc to develop a three-year-
old steer.
truly think Canada offers a fine
opening for a young man a man
who is renting land in Indiana. One
hundred and sixty acres of good black
land will cost you on4y $40 at the time
you enter it, and by blowing and Gull
tivating five acres each year for three
years, gives you one hundred and sixty
acres of good land for So This land
can be bought from the railroad COM
panies, private corporations or the gov
eminent for So to 81 per acre.
From financial standpoint, I be-
Heve that for a series OF years (five)
young man can make $40 in Canada,
whereas he would only make 81. here,
and I feel sure that I spent more
money to get my eighty farm in
White county. Indiana, cultivated than
it would cost me to cultivate eight
hundred acres in Canada This may
seem a strong view to take of the
matter, but when you take into con-
sideratfon the clearing, ditch1ng, fenc-
ing and the expensive breaking in of
the stumps, and then compare the ex-
pense to that of land needing only the
breaking, you will conclude that it is
not such a wild or exaggerated state
ment as you might at first think.

On making inquiries regarding the

the people never suffer from the cold,
as the weather is dry and inv1gorat-

The man Czo1gosz who attempted to
aSSaSSinate the President at Buffalo
ard succeeded in wounding him so
dangerously, may may not be the
ezn1ssary of a particular group OF An
arch1sts; but he is unquestionably the
representative and acted as the instru-
ment of a spirit of anarchy which is
present in modern society and menaceS
the civilization of the world. It's VIC
lence is not directed against any in
d1vidua1 ruler executive head of a
state, good or bad, beloved or hated,
by his people, but against government
OF itself, against our social system as
st has developed In natural order.
This spirit of savage resistance to
the working of a law of human deve1-
Opment as memorable and unchangea-
bic as it is benign, manifests itself in
$ne beginning in futile attempts to run
counter to the irresistible current of
Auman progress, and to provoke re-
bsalion against social conditions which
san be improved and up1ifted by it's
operation alone. The sentiment which
would set labor against capital and de-
GtrOy fidelity to duty in the employed,
IS a servile and despicable impulse,
which would turn the servant into an
