During the electric storm, last

on a farm near Galatia, was struck
by lightning and instantly killed, and
his brother, Ben Meyers, was severly
stunned. They took refuge In a
granary during the storm, when the

Concrete examples of success are
far more useful to the army of young
graduates from our colleges and
schools than any amount of writing
ON the subject Alfred II. Smith,
who at thirty-nine years of age has
just become general manager of the
New York Central Railroad, is,
moreover, concrete example that is
valuable as an object-lesson to the
largest number of our young candi-
dates for success-those who have to
start in life with a grammar-school
education only.
Mr.. Smith began to work for his
living at fourteen years of age, and
at first his opportunities of advance
ment seemed small lie was not
rich mans son, and the first question
with him was, how can I Immediately
earn the most money! He took his
place with a gang" of railroad
laborers at $3.50 day. This gave
him at fourteen a weekly income
larger than many college graduate
at twenty-five is obliged to accept as
beginner in some more refined
occupation. Young Smith learned to
spike a rail as we'll as the best man in
the gang, and while still in his teens
became foreman of laborers.
Having no rich father at his back,
he had to climb himself or stay at
the foot of the ladder. He climbed,
and was successfully a brakeman,
conductor, telegraph operator, train
dispatcher, division superintendent
and general superintendent. And
now he has become general manager.
There is plenty of hope and en-
couragement for the boys who have
to step straight from the grammar
school to the workshop or into the
Office in the career of General
Manager Smith. But they must be
careful to see the real point of 1t.
Boys do not rise because they lack
liberal education and rich fathers
unless the lack of these advantages
acts as spur to bring out all the
strength and speed there is in them.

A New Machine.

The Russell Reformer has the
following description of a new
threshing attachment which may be
of interest to our farmers:
For number of years the Mahoney
brothers of the Bunker Hill country
have been working on a machine to
do away with the pitching of stacked
grain to the threshing machine. Last
year they operated one of the machines
which they had made themselves.
This year they had three made at the
factory. One of these has stood OPP
posite the depot for the past week.
All three, the only ones made SO far
except the home made one which the
Mahoneps use, have been sold in this
county. One goes to Mr.. Roe on Big
Creek, another to Kramer, the colored
thresher south of the Smoky, and the
third to Mr.. Bromhouer on Sellens
creek. This machine looks at a dis
lance like small separator. 1t is
provided with revolving derricks, one
on each side. They are so arranged
as to reach four and often times six
stacks at one setting of the machine.
On the end of each derrick is a fork
running on a rope and pulley which
takes the grain from the stack. 1t
swings around and drops its load into
the machine where it is carried on
canvas to the cylinder of the separa-
tor. Several devices well contrived
serve to tear the grain apart and
send it to the machine evenly and
free from punches. 1t is claimed
that this machine will reduce thresh
ing crews from twelve to eight men.
It costs $500.

Give the peddlers and patent right
sharks a cold reception. If there is
anything you are in need of about
the house or the farm, the merchant
who has been helping you pay taxes
and run the county; the man who,
gave you goods on credit when cash
was short; the men who buy your
butter and eggs and give your surplus
help employment when labor is not so
scarce, can sell it to you, or if he has
not got it, can procure it for you.
The peddler, like the Cuban small
pox, is here today and gone tomorrow.
He is generally neither a tax payer
nor voter in your county; his only
interest in you or your county, or
township, or town, is to get his hands
upon a part of your hard earned
cash. Beware the travelling peddler.

New Mileage Book.

The mileage book adopted by nearly
all OF the Eastern railroads June 1 has
proved to be a big success, the travel
ing men particularly being highly
pleased with it,
Division Passenger Agent Bronson. of
the Chesapeake and Ohio, said today
that the sales Of the book had exceeded
the greatest expectations OF the pas
senger agents.
One feature of the book that com
mends it to travellers is that II is inter-
changeable on a number OF the Eastern
roads, which does away with the ne
cessity and bother of having TO buy diff
ferent tickets when quitting one rail-
road for another.
The roads which entered into the
agreement that made the book possible
are the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore
and Ohio. the Chesapeake and Ohio. the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western,
the Erie. and the Lehigh Valley. One
thousand miles of transportation is sold
at $40. which makes fat rate of 2
cents a mile.
