HOUND AS GUIDING STAR.
A story OF Three Gold Hunters which
Should Not lie Discredtted
by Doubters

"A number of years ago, says a con-
tributor 10 the Los Angeles Times,
three prospectors were working some
mining claims south of Prescott, Ariz.
When they left town they had expect
ed to return in two days, but, finding
more to do than they had anticipated,
worked a third day without grub in
order to finish up. They worked as
long as they could see, thinking they
should have no trouble in following
the trail after dark. The night, how
ever, was unusually dark and they
could not see the trail. Being ia
tigued and hungry, they were losing
much valuable time roofing about to
no purpose. They had a b~lack-and-tan
hound with them and the idea oc-
Cured to one of the boys to rub the
phosphorus from a bunch of matches
on the dogs tail. 1t was done accord
ingly, thus making a sort of pillar of
fire by night. The scheme worked
beautifully. The dog found no diff
Guilty in following the trail; the men
followed the phosphorized narrative
of their canine guide and reached
Prescott in time for an early break

LONG LIFE AND MERRY ONE.
Americas. who Are strenuous ost-
Ave the Africans Who Are
IndOlent.

It seems that we are all wrong
about the hurtful and life-shortcning
effect of American hustle" Our ma
tional motto may be said TO have
been: "a short life, but a strenuous
one" We are willing. as n people,
to have the span shortened n little
if only we could have something
worth while. something active and
effective, going all the time. But it
seems, according TO the latest bulle-
tin of the census bureau, that the
fast life is also the long one, says
Harper's Weekly. Our "medinn age"
that is, the age which is such that
half the population is under it and
half over it's more than seven
years greater than it was a century
age. and increases from decade to
decade. We are surprising casy-go-
ing foreign countries in this re-
spect; we are surprising even the
loose-jointed, incident, beautifully re-
Taxed, never-worrying African in our
midst; for whereas the median q
of our American whites is 23.4 years,
that of the devil-may-care colored
person is but 1873. Lately much on
fusion has arisen in the minds of
many Americans over the statement
made by certain eminent neurolo-
gists that it is next to impossible
for a man to "overwork," provided
his bodily functions are kept in good
order by temperate and wholesome
living. Other physicians, TO be sure.
tell us that hurry and worry spell
death. We have accepted the latter
judgment, with the qualifying refec-
ton that no matter what science
tells us. it always seems to have
another thing coming" This CEN
sus bulletin which links the long life
with the fast one appears to be the
other "think."

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet 1t
may be of some help 10 consider the
matter. If the cause is something over
which you have no control it is obvi-
Gus that worrying will not help the
matter in the least. On the other hand,
if within your control you have only
to act. When you have a cold and fear
an attack of pneumonia. buy a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and

could converse fiuently in French and

DlunderbusA.

In using the word "blunderbuss" we
unconsciOusly imply a sense Of dis
paragement for the shooting powers
of our fOrefathers contracted with the
precision of the modern rifle. The
word itself has, however, a terrible
enough meaning and disdains all con-
nectiOn with "blunder." 'Blunder-
buss," in fact, as we have it, is a
strange corruption-perhaps not alto
gether untinged with the sense and
sound of "blunder"- the old Dutch
word 'donderbuss," which can be liter
ally translated into the English "thun-
der box" or thunder barrel"

the one creature that stands between

where snow lies on the ground for more

as a machine for converting birch
