DIED TO SAVE Sons LIFE.-With
all hope of saving both their lives gone,
James Bennett, an Oxford, \. j., miner,
on Friday gave up his own that his 10
year-old son might live Father and
son were run down on the Lehigh and
Hudson river railroad bridge crossing
the Pequest river. In the moment given
them by the swiftly approaching engine
the father evidently thought only OF his
sons life, and at the last instant hurled
him into the shallow water below. At al
most the same moment he was struck down
and his body, cut by the wheels, drop
ped into the stream almost upon the
boy. Bennett and his son went to call
on some friends at Pequest Furnace
After spending the evening they started
down the railroad track, about 10 o clock,
and had gone but a short distance when
they came to the bridge. Thinking no
trains would be running on that branch
at that hour, they started across. But a
furnace locomotive, pushing box
car, came up behind them, the first
intimation of its approach being
the cry of their dog. The boy says the
car could not have been 80 feet away at
the time. Before he knew what was
happening the youth was given mighty
push. and he fell into the water dozen
feet below. He heard his father shout,
and minute later his body fell into the
water. The boys cries brought the
train hands, and the body Of Bennett
was conveyed to his home. Bennett
wife and two other children died yeaI
ago. The one whose life the father
saved will be sent to some institution.

Grafton favorable to the use of beer
and advocating personal liberty" in

college men of the times.
France is greatly alarmed over the
increase of inebriety. All workmen
on government railways are warned
against INDUCING in strong drink
while on duty, on penalty OF being
discharged. Letter-carriers are in

SuDerfiuOus knowledge.

Many people are satisfied to have
just and only just enough knowledge
to get along with. Not so with the
late Senator Cushman K. Davis of
Minnesota, one of the most scholarly
men this nation has produced. He
once said:
"Ibelieve in superhuous knowledge
l have little faith in the thing called
genius. think any young man can
attain success, and great success, by
good, hard studious labor, not inter-
mittent labor, but conscientious, con-
slant effort. The men who have
achieved success are the men who
worked, read, thought more than was
absolutely necessary, who have not
been content with knowledge for the
present need, but who have sought
additional knowledge and stored il
away for the emergency reserve. Il
is the superfuous labor that equips
man for everything that counts most
in life '-Erchdnge.

MAKING OF A METROPOLITAN PAPER

IF a paper like the NeaO York Journal
were living on the interest an
endowment fund without any business
income to balance its outgo, writes
Samuel E. Moffett in The Pilgrim, the
fund would have to be over 100000
600. The pay rolls of the great New
York newspapers run from 80 900 to
200 week, and that is only part
of their expenses.
A single press of the latest pattern
costs from 5000 to 500, 900 and the
Journal bias IA such presses, each able
by superimposing, to do photographic
job of a hundred shades if necessary.
E ach of these presses can pour out in
an hour cataract of SO, 900 eight-page
papers with five colors on front and
back, 1000 per minute, or over 26 per
second; 10000 12-page papers, $4,000
of 16 or "a 900 of 32-pages.
A four-page country paper that cir
culates 1000 copies may justly con-
slider itself reasonably prosperous.
The Journals battery of IA presses
can print that number of 8 page
papers in less than 3 seconds.
AS a seamstress puts her little
spindle of thread in her sewing
machine, the pressman feeds his press
with giant rolls of paper, each four
pages wide and about mile and a
half long.
Each of these rolls weighs from
1000 to 1900 pounds. An binary
edition will use hundreds of tn en-; an
extraordinary edition may devour as
many as 1,4OO, the load of two or
three good sized freight trains.
The Journal has from 1900 to 1000
people in its direct employ in New
York City alone, not counting its
army of correspondents. 1t has 5000
agents. 1t spends from $4,000 to
So, 900 month for Irvine and wrap
ping paper to wrap lis bundles. II
makes its own wagons and harnesses
1t has the largest factory for colored
and black inks in the country. II
makes it's own rollers and almos
everything it uses. In each depart.
ment it pays the highest wages known
in that industry.
The number of families dependent
upon this specimen of "yellow jour
nalismo would make big city.

GENERAL NEWS.
AHolocaust at Chicago.


In the destruction of st. Luke's
Sanitarium, I. Chicago, by fire, recently
twelve men and one woman were
burned to death. The sanitarium was
for victims of alcoholism and drugs,
and some of the victims of the fire
were suffering from delirium tremens
or were deranged. A number were
strapped to cots and could not
escape. Over 80 were injured in the
fire. An immense crowd of frenzied
people watched the frantic efforts of
prisoners to fight their way to the
open air.
President Investigating Coal Strike.
The anthracite coal miners are still
idle. Nearly all of the union bumpers
and engine tenders are filing with
water. Others are being pumped by
hands who live within the stockades
that have been built for their pro-
lection. There has been some violence
and one fatality, but on the whole
! things are quiet. President Roose-
welt sent Carroll d. Wright, com
missioner of labor, to confer with
President Mitchell of the mine
workers. union and also with the
mine operators, and he will report te
the president his findings. There il
no prospect of a settlement in sight

Don't Wait to be Told.

If you advance rapidly in your pos
ition, or get on faster in the world,
don't acquire habit Of waiting to be
told what to do. Anticipate the
wants of your employer. Use your
common sense and ingenuity in trying
to solve the problems that come up
from day to day. Nobody ever ad-
vances who constantly waits for
directions. It is the man who decides
promptly, and with precision, without
being told what is to be done, and
then does it, who gets on in the world.
A habit of doing nothing without
ones faculties and death to individu-
atty and originality. Don't labor
under the delusion that to initiate the
actions and methods of those above
you is all that your position requires.
| Original work commands attention,
and will be of great service in helping
your position, or in directing work of
your own. The valuable employee is
the one who anticipates the needs OF
his position and attends to them be
fore he is told.
Keep your eyes wide open for the
things which need to be done, and do
them before you are asked to. You
may think that actions which are not
prompted by the presence of your
employer will never be heard of by
him. Put aside this delusion. There
are innumerable ways in which al
employees habits of work are brought
the attention of your employer
and, in the near future, the right per
son will be sure of reward.

LETTER TO HENRY GAY,

BARTON, W.
Dear Sir: You know a good paint when you
see it. Devoe lead and zinc is paint that
costs half as much as lead and oil be cause it
wears twice as long.
But it looks no better, when first put on.
You must wait little to see the difference.
The first summer takes off the gloss of lead
and oil; the second summer it chalks; the
third, it wants repainting. 1t probably spots
in month or six weeks: the gloss goes off in
spots or in sections.
Devoe lead and zinc even holds it's gloss
longer than lead and oil wears. The loss of
gloss marks the beginning of wear, but it
keeps out water ten years, in favorable con-
ditions.
Painters think three years is enough. 1t is,
for lie I'd and oil.
Yours truly,
76 F. w. DEvoE & Co.
P. s. 81 g. Pierce, Barton, and W. g.

Haitian Honesty.

Haiti is the only country in the world
where "black rules white" Although
the present republic is not successful
because so large a portion Of the citl-
zens are lazy and uneducated, yet the
people have many good qualities which,
according to Mr.. Hesketh Pritchard,
show themselves in unexpected and
contradictory ways.
One Of the things that strike one most
is that Haiti is q country Of extremes
and contrasts. Logic is always at
fault. A Haitian's honesty is like a
Haitian's mind-it is apt to surprise
you round odd corners.
For example, hundreds Of thousands
of Haitian dollars pass annually along
the lonely track between Jacmel and
Port au Prince. The men who bear
them are low class Haitians-ragged,
uncouth, uneducated, wild and untu-
tored-yet only once have the dollars
failed to arrive | have heard it said
that $40 might tempt the Haitians Gu
pidity, but $4,000 awes him into i'm
maculate honesty.
During the last thirty years uncount-
ed couriers have made the desOlate
Journey over the mountain passes, each
with his load Of wealth, and there is
only this one instance known Of the
betrayal Of trust. A fine record!
