Percention of Fact.

"What is the way to success?" we
ask the great men. They cannot tell
us. They know what upheld them in
every emergency, but they cannot de-
fine it. 1t was the sense of proportion.
1t measured, plumbed every circum-
stance and gagged every condition. 1t
weighed relative values, material and
human. 1t knew character when it
found it and sifted the wheat from the
chaff. 1t recognized opportunity, and
it likewise made the most of it.-Cos-
mopOlitan.

are wanting to get out into the coun-
try to see things. All these move
ments, though they get their initia-
tive largely from the city people, are
of such great Importance to rural in
terests, and touch the farm life in
SO many ways, that no thoughtful
farmer can disregard them.
The condition of the country roads
and roadsides not merely influences,
but very largely determines, the
course of vacation travel; and, to a
certain extent, the courses of bust
ness traffic. A very hurried inquiry
after real estate in any neighbor-
hood will show how matters stand.
On certain road where travel is
and the roadside are kept up as they
ought to be, farms will sell for IS to
so per cent. more than on another
street a mile away where the road is
succession of ruts and mud-holes
and the roadside a panorama of di-
lapidated outbuildings, tin-can dumps
and poison ivy tangles.
So much has been said about good
roads that it is not worth while to
add anything to that discussion now,
but attention should not be too much
diverted from the protection, pre-
servation and improvement of the
roadsides. The road master or COM
missioner in a great many cases can
do great deal at little or no ex-
pense to make the roadsides more
agreeable, If only he is man of
taste and has his mind on the mat
ter. Sign boards at the crossroads
should be supplied everywhere, OBJ
jectionable buildings can often be
removed, attractive trees can be pre-
served, convenient watering troughs
can be located, and dozens of other
things done for the convenience and
satisfaction of the public. The les
son which we are just beginning to
learn is that such things pay. It
pays TO be clean and tidy anywhere,
in public or in private.-F. A. Waugh,
in Ohio Farmer.

COUNTRY ROADSIDES.

tive Anywhere.

For the last so years every one who
could afford to take a vacation has
been going to Europe for it. Only in
the last few seasons have Americans
begun to discover that it is fashion
able to stay in this, country. OF
course everybody knew long ago that
this country had finer scenery, of
any sort mentionable, than can be
found in Europe, but what was lack
Ing was the endorsement of fashion.
Now we have got that. It is now per-
fectly proper for any one, no matter
how rich he is, to spend his vaca-
lions in the ''land of the free"
Other signs are not wanting to
show the remarkable increase in out
door life. The sales of automobiles
indicates 1t, for one thing. The de-
mand for good roads, also connected
with bicycling and automobiling
rather than with hauling hay to mar
ket. testifies to the fact that people

REPORT on COTTON.
A New Plan 10 Secure Quickly Accurate
Statistics OF the Cotton Crop.

Mr.. VIM. $. Howell of Bryan
has been appointed a local specia
agent of the Census Office TO col
lect cotton-ginning statistics To-
this county, and we join the Gov
eminent in urging the ginners e
give Mr.. Howell their hearty sup
port and cooperation. thus ena
bling him TO make prompt and &c.
curate returns. We would i'm,
press upon the ginners the fact
that this agent is a sworn officer OF
the Government, and that their re.
ports are forwarded as given to
him directly to the Census Office,
at Washington, without passing
through the hands Of any middle
men. The information given il
held as strictly confidential, and
the operations OF individual gin
ners are not divulged. Upon the
joint cooperation Of the cotton
growers, ginners, and local agents
must depend the success of the
Census Office in this Inc uiry, and
its ability to render this great SER
vice 10 the Southern people and to
all interested in the cotton staple.
The Census Office has demon
strated in three annual reports,
the fact that the ginners are the
only reliable source of information
as to the volume Of the annual
cotton crop. This is very compli.
mentary TO ginners, who no doubt,
will feel a pride in sustaining the
reputation earned.
In undertaking the frequent and
hurried reports now sought, it is
Of vital importance that the re-
turns be made with absolute uni
formity, aud that all be received
at Washington at one time. This
result could not be expected from
individual requests made by mail.
The statistics for the October re-
port will be collected during the
week beginning Monday, Oct. 20, !
and ginners should keep such re-
cords as viii enable them TO fur
nish promptly The required infor.
nation. These returns will be I
tabulated, and the result published |
within one week from their receipt !

miles from Ottawa. While watching the
bears, Warden Cormier in giving piece
of meat TO a young one approached near
an old and ugly brute.
Col. Turner said: THAT bear is getting
too ugly. You had better be careful"
Scarcely had the words been uttered
when the bear. which was chained TO a
post. made lunge at Mr. Cormier, catch
ing his neck with both paws, and dealt
the game warden successive blows with
his claws, decorating his head. shoulder
and hands.
Mrs. Turner. without thought of herself,
rushed at the animal. and her SUDDEN at
tack alarmed the bear, permitting Col.
Turner to seize the warden and drag him
to safety. Mr.. Cormier was taken TO his
home. and on examination it was found
that one Of the bears claws had pene-
trated almost TO the juglar vein.

Young Men Were Put on the Train
Mt Wichita.

Yesterday morning when the Santa Fe
train running between Kansas City and
Purcell, l. T., pulled up to the depot, the
conductor put off two young men. one
without coat OF vest.
The young fellows had boarded a train
at Kansas City and had taken sleeper.
Each time the conductor went TO collect
their fare he found them asleep. He dis
liked 10 disturb them and at the end OF
his run, which was at Newton. he turned
tncm over to Conductor Glazier. Gla-
zier thought there was something wrong
and awakened them. Neither had tick
cts and both refused to pay their fares.
The only available things of value were
the coat and vest Of one young man.
These the conductor turned over to the
Santa Re officials until the fare should
be paid.
During the forenoon the loser Of the
coat raised enough money TO pay his fare
from Newton TO Wichita and was given
back his clothing.
