How a Snake Moves.

Now any one who has looked at the
skeleton of a snake-and 1t is really
a very beautiful object-will have
been struck by the great number OF
ribs, which may be as many as ten
hundred and fifty pairs. In these
lies the secret of the ability of the
serpent to do some of these wonder
full things. The lower end Of each
rib is connected with one of the broad
scales that run along the under side
of a snake, and when a rib is twisted
slowly backward, it pushes on the
scale, the edge of the scale catches
on the ground or whatever object
his ~snakeship may be resting on,
and the body of the snake is pushed
just a little bit forward. Of course,
each rib moves the body but a mere
trife; but where the ribs are so many,
and they are moved one after an
other, the result is that the snake
moves slowly but steadily ahead

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
Horace Greeley.

mlnd that valiant, but tragic, career
which closed under a cloud of despair
in 1872. Greeley had been nominated
for the Presidency by reform Repub-
licans and also by the Democrats; the
notorious corruption of Grants ad-
ministration had called for correc-
tom The great New York editor
was judged to be the right man to
defeat Grant, one who could com
mand a great following among Re
publicans and perhaps, a greater
among the Democrats who remem-
bered his efforts in procuring the re-
lease of Jefferson Davis from prison,
or, his opposition to much that Lin
coin had done during the war. But
when the returns came in, it was seen
that the military services of the Pres
ident outshone all the civic and per-
sonal virtues of Greeley. Grant was
elected by an overwhelming majority.
Greeley, already overcome with
grief because of the death of his wife,
just before the election, was abused
and m~aligned numerically by the
triumphant Republicans; even his
own fellow-workers, on his paper, the
New York Tribune, joined his ene-
mics; he could not bear up under the
disappointment which had come
thick upon him, and yielded up his
life three weeks after election day.
Horace Greeley was born in 1911
OF a f~fty-acre farm in New Hamp-
shire; his father was all his life in
debt, a bad manager who labored
hard with his own hands from early
morn till late at night striving to pay
his debts; but they were never paid
and the farm was sold and the poor
father forced to flee the State to es-
cape Imprisonment. Young Horace
saw, with heavy heart, the wreck of
the home of his boyhood; but he join
ed the father in the new State, Yer
mont, where they contracted at seven
dollars an acre to clear fifty acres
of heavy forest land. The land was
cleared, but the owner died and the
laborers, hard pressed as they were,
did not receive their pay. By this
time the boy was fifteen yea old,
and beginning to seek a calling for
himself. So when the father decided
to move again Horace engaged him
self as a country printers apprentice,
hoping in that way the better to help
his struggling parents; he was to
work six months for his board, after
which he was to receive about six
dollars a month eff he suited"
Was ever a great and useful career
begun under such harsh conditions?
Rather was there ever a great soul
which did not pass through some sim
liar ordeal? The life of the man
which grew out of that boy is an hon
or to this country of ours. It has
been a stimulation to thousands who
have struggled through equally try
ing difficulties to useful careers.
In 1880 young Greeley arrived in
New York City with only a small sum
of money and only one suit of
clothes, After three dovo oF oo-..

given a task which four others had
given up in despair. Greeley was not
of that class which shuns a rough
piece ofwork. While he was at work
the owner of the printing house came
in and, cycling the young ~type-setter
sharply, told the foreman to "pay
off that fellow and let him CO." but
the foreman soon found out that
there was Something in Greeley"
and let him go on to other work when
his first task was completed. This
was the beginning of a series of
triumphs which made Greeley known
throughout the city and State of
New York within ten years.
In 1912, in the face of rivalry and
actual opposition, Greeley had the
courage to begin the publication of
the New York Tribune on a capital
of $4,000. At the end of the first
week the income OF the enterprise
was 800 and the expenditure about
$500: but the undertaking was not
given up. Within one years time the
Tribune had made a place for itself;
all the great papers of the town COM
bined against it and tried to prevent
newsdealers from selling it; they in
trigued with the postmaster of New
York to get Greeley's mailing list
and sought in that way to injure the
rising editor. But Greeley continued
to prosper. In two years the Tribune
was the most widely read paper in
the United States and it's editor was
looked upon as a veritable tower of
strength for whatever was good, hon
est and patriotic.
Space forbids a further review of
this wonderful life. The reader has
seen how it went out in a sad eclipse;
but not until after many a triumph
had been won. Greeley's awkward
form and homely, but benevolent,
face became familiar to Americans
in every part of the country. He was
enthusiastically received every
where, very much to the chagrin
many a time of aspiring politicians.
And when he at last laid down his
armor, friend and foe united to do
him honor. Fifty thousand people
viewed his remains in one day as they
lay in state in the old New York
city hall, and President Grant, his
triumphant rival, followed him to
the tomb.
The simple record of such a life is
calculated to do more good, if put
into the hands of young men and
boys s, than many months of routine
teaching of the ordinary sort. There
are hundreds and thousands of boys
IN North Carolina today, struggling
against great odds, who would be
helped UNNECESSARILY if some one
would give them this simple Life of
Greeley, published by the Appletons,
of New York. Such a life in the O m
crete is so helpful to the truly ambi-
tlous, to him who sometimes feels
that there is no use to fight forever
against adverse circumstances. Such
a life as Greelev's makes h;n+om

cd AT $50 by the violent ringing Of a
bell. He wondered but managed 10 get
