FoiLlf;G A HIGHWAYMAN.
The Proper Thing 70 DO When Intro.
duccd 10 d HolduD.

A mar who carries his money and
his watch In bis left hand will never
lose a penny nor a timepiece In q hold
up. The prccaution, which Is a per
feet one, is SO simple that few people
have thought OF 1t, Yet 1t has the
sanction OF the police, and Its efficacy
has been proved In more than q ipe
stance.
As soon as the citizen Is confronted
by the holdup man he will. III he has
his money and bis watch In his hand,
throw them on the nearest lawn or
into the ditch No highway robber has
time enough TO stop TO look for either
There IL no sense III carrying valuables
In the right hand. because the first
move Of every accomplished hoIdnp
man Is to grab his victim by the right
arm This movement Is made to pre-,
vent the victim from reaching for Il
revolver.
The nan who tries to draw a re
volser while a holdup man Is in front
Of him takes his life In his hands. Ii
a citizen carries ii revolver at all he
should carry il in his right hand while
In 4 dangerous street. Ills money and
his witch should always be In his left
Then after he has thrown them away
and the robber has departed discom
fitted the victim can take his time about
finding his property.
This simple plan discounts all the re-
v~olvers, sword canes. slungshots aud
brass knuclles ever invented and has
the added beauty that 1t can be en-
ployed by a woman MS well is by i
man. To throw the purse or the watch
away takes but a fraction Of i second.

competitor la business in his own
town enjoyed like concession, and
was told that he did not, for the
reason, they said, that he could not
guard such secret.
1t is generally understood that the
railroads prefer dealing with one or
two large shippers rather than with
many small ones. and to kill off the
little fellows they give the larger
ones freight rebates.
One can easily see the advantages
in business way Of such "a policy
but why a whole state should be dis
eliminated against, as Wisconsin is,
is hard to understand. The only
plausible explanation is that the
roads make this discrimination to
make money, and do it because
they can. Illinois and Iowa have
state boards which control freight
rates to some extent, but Wisconsin
has none.
1t would seem to be good horse
sense for Wisconsin to get some
means of controlling freight rates
right away

Chicago is the biggest city OF her age

ting up n celebration to commemor-

hot time in the old town while the

"lllinois Rate s."
Darlington Democrat, Sept. II.

Darlington Democrat Sept H.
A retired stock and grain buyer
and shipper who lives in Wiscon-
sin town near the Illinois line was
in the Democrat Office n month or SO
ago. In the course of the conversa-
ton which ensued, the question of
discriminating freight rates came
up, and the eN-shlpper spoke freely
of his experience with the railroads.
He said that there were two buyers
and shippers Of live stock and grain
in his town, OF whom he was one, and
that his railroad (his town has but
one liue) offered, n good many years
ago, to give him freight rebate.
that is, return TO him part of the
money he paid for freight on grain
and live stock The road offered
him, ne said, what they called "llli-
nos rates" or the equivalent of rates
paid by Illinois shippers at like
distance from Chicago. Why the

Along the Road to Damascus.

Inter Ocean
There is a revolution pending in
Syria that involves no political or
religious issue. An Indication Of
this was seen in Damascus few
weeks ago when ii large crowd as
sembled to cheer an innovation from
the United States.
The crowd, it is officially reported,
was larger than that which assem-
bIes at Damascus once u year to see
the pilgrims start for Mecca. Nazim
Pasha, recently appointed to chief
command ut Beirut, was there, and
with him many pashas and other
officials, and thousands of Moham-
medaus and Christians. All had as
sembled to witness the entry into
the grain fields Of Syria Of the second
steam thresher ever seen in that
part of Asia. The first steam thresh-
er entered Syria, coming from Rich
mond, Ind, in 1902, and created n
greater sensation than an outbreak
among tine Druses Of Lebanon.
The interest was so intense that
the grain growers of Syria began to
abandon their old-style implements
in use for 900 years, and the Ameri-
can Consul General at Beirut reports
that there are now In all Syria sew
enty-five modern reaping machines,
twelve modern windmills, and two
threshing machines,
One of the latter went along the
Damascus road and into the city,
drawn by traction engine. The
multitudes assembled along the road
and in the city were wild with en-
thusiasm, and many farmers were
heard to say that they would never
thresh grain again by driving cattle
over it in the old way.
When the Russian surveyors some
years ago set out TO begin work on
the Vladivostol division of the
Trans-S Siberian railway they were
met in the wilderness, hundreds of
miles from their objective point, by
an American acting as agent for
American manufactures. He solicit
ed orders for locomotives and such
materials as were needed for con-
struction. His rates were extremely
low, and thinking they would never
see him again, the Russian engineers
ordered large quantities of railway
material.
When they reached Nladivostok
some months later they found the
material piled up in warehouses
awaiting their orders. The agent
had gone to the nearest telegraph
station and had telegraphed his or
ders to the United States and the
material was ready for the engineers
before bids had been solicited from
European manufacturers. So it hap
pened that American materials Were
used to so large nu extent on the ST.
berian and Chinese railroads.
In much he same way the Ameri-
can is Invading the great grain fields

The Independent Farmer.

To prove that it is not all sunshine,
prosperity and independence with
the tillers of the soil an exchange
draws upon the following facts de-
veloping in 1903;
"The farmer may be less depend
eut upon other men than the dweller
in the cities, but he is more depend
ont upon the clements for success. In
the southwest last spring thousands
of acres of wheat which wGs sown,
and sprang up and grew under the
most promising conditions was COW
cred, ironed out smoothly and coated
with mud by the floods Of June. On
the lower Missouri one man watched
the water creep up and upon his
nearly ripe wheat until it was de-
stroyed, then went raying mad.
Many were ruined financially by the
unusual rainfall. In Montana, the
extreme north OF Dakota and further
north in Canada, hundreds of miles
OF country covered solidly with fields
Of waving ripe W heat, dotted here and
there with fields in the shock, were
overwhelnned, borne down aud bur
led under three feet of snow. The
snow rose higher than the wheat had
stood. Shocks appeared only as bum
Knocks appraised little higher than
the surrounding waste. For mile uf-
ter mile the golden promise of rlen-
~ gave place in few hours to ST.
Lent white desolation."

There will be more deer in the
state this fall in the northern Wis
consin timber lands than perhaps for
twenty-five years back. This does
not mean that the number Of deer in
the state has increased, for the area
of the deer country in Wisconsin has
decreased, but in the country where
the deer have lived in late years
their number has actually multiplied.
This is the testimony Of northern
Wisconsin residents, tourists and
others who are supposedly informed
on the subject.
