ANOTHER RAILROAD HERO.

Hendley Jones of Georgia was a sec.

board Air line. One night last week
ne was riding on a handcar near Rem.
Iroes, Stewart county. Ca. i'm the dis.
charge OF his dull duties. Three other
men were with him, climbing heavy
grade. Up to that moment all four
graded together. There dashed
around a curve ahead of them an ex.
ira freight, heavily laden and rushing
down upon them, grade and steam to.
gether.
Inc other three men jumped to
satety They would no doubt defend
their action by quoting the old axiom
about self-preservation being the first
law or nature. But Jones did not de.
pend upon axioms to justify his law of
conduct; he was the sort Of man who
reckoned by acts. So he stayed where
he was.
1t was a time when the fraction OF
a second was life. Jones saw this.
and saw also that to stop the train
was impossible. There was, in his
conception. only one thing for him to
do, and that was to save the crew of
the freight at the probable cost of his
own life. That he did. Calmly but
rapidly he stopped the handcar and
threw 1t from the track--and the train
rushed by unharmed over his dead
body.
Jones left widow and two little
children. Some men would have
pleaded that they must remain alive,
at the cost of the lives of others, for
the sake Of their families. But Hend.
ley Jones did his duty and left his
wife and children fathers memory

formance of ones duty so common.

DID THE ANClENTs SMOKE?

Did the ancients smoke? 1t is
strange that so simple question has
never been satisfactorily answered.
Heroditus mentions certain tribes that
became drunk from inhaling the vapor
of piles OF burning fruit, but the only
evidences that We have of smoking is
found In the prehistoric pipes of wood
and clay that are occasionally un.
earthed.
But II the ancients smoked what did
they smoke? 1t was certainly not to-
bacco, which We know Is modern so.

WHAT Is LOVE?

There are also nervous disorders
that are often termed love. A man or
a woman gets run down, sees every.
thing dark, hopes for nothing, aims
for nothing; then person of the op-
posite sex approaches. sympathizes.
plays on all the overtaxed nerves
with soothing :-.fiuence, which Ia
studied and deliberate, but the man
quaffs It blindly, as a sufferer drinks
brandy to ease pain without question
ing whether 1t be injurious or not.
We do not examine the character OF
the one obtaining this power over US,
because we are iii, and our illness con-
trolls us; We seek merely to ease the
inward gnawing with as little pain or
enort as possible. Normal love-the
love OF a mentally and physically
sound person--is not half so blind
as poets would have us believe. In.

that the world considers faults In the
one we love may be particularly dear
to us, they are hicks that correspond
to the hicks In our own nature; but
the individual is dissected again and
again by the unerring and ever busy
blade OF our passion. Every quick.
ened element in US prizes and probes
to measure itself with the same ele-
ment in the other; it Is the natural
mating Of things-of the many units
in the one unit. This is real love:
but the other-the other Is the cause
of ninetenths Of the worlds misery;
1t Is the creator of morbid genera.

TRAILING OLD FASHIONS.

How often in reading we run across
some such phrase as this: "Oldfash-
ioned ideas of morality" Or we hear
person about to deliver an i'm.
promptu homily, say: II may have
old.fashioned ideas about the sacred.
ness Of the marriage VOW. but" Or
mother say: my children could
have more money than had when I
wss a girl, but am going to bring
them up in the old-fashioned way. My
girls shall know how to cook and do
housewOrk II necessary, and they will
make good housewives and mothers" +"
Father has such old-fashioned no
tions," said high school boy. "He
has made us all promise not to drink
wine or play cards until We are twen-
ty-one. And he says It's the boys who
have Old.fashioned parents who be-
come the successful men,"
There are worse things than being
old-fashioned. Progress is all very
well, providing it progresses. But
why should we feel 1t necessary to call
our ideas of right living old-fashioned
and to speak of them in a semi-apolo.
getic manner? II old-fashioned so
much the better on that very account
They have the backing Of experience.
They have been tried and tested by
our parents and our grandparents.
We hear Of "Old.fashioned polite.
ness" and the gentleman of the old
school, who Is so rarely seen among
us. Why should these virtues be
called oldfashioned? Is it not a dis.
creditable reflection upon us twentieth
century people?
A few more old-fashioned people are
needed in this know-it-all age and gen.

COAxiNG TAXES OUT OF JOHN
BULL.

In ten years, said an English naval
expert day or two ago, the control
of the sea will pass from Great Brit
ain to the United States. Uncle Sam,
1t appears, is building more battle.
ships this year than John Bull.
Hence the alarm Of the English expert
quoted above. It is impossible to be.
lieve, however, that his fears are gen.
uine. Our British cousins have too
long start to be overhauled by Uncle
Sam unless We should increase the
number OF our shipyards and spend
hundreds of millions of dollars in the
next decade turning out battle.ships
and cruisers. The truth is that the
alarm expressed by our British cous-
ins Is part of their scheme to recon.

taxation to maintain England's naval
supremacy. That is the way the Brit

HENRY llJM SHOT.
Killed at BeIpre On The 9th, In A. Gem
eraI Shooting Scarpe.

Following is telegram from Belpre
to the papers, giving account. of a
fatal shooting scrape there. Lunz,
the man killed outright, was former
ly of Barton county, leaving relatives
near Clafin and about St. Peter and
Pauls church. -Pixley was Santa Fe
railroad man who for a time made
BIS home in Great Bend.
BelPre, Kss., Aug. 9...HenEy
Lunz is dead and John Flood and
Joe Pixley are seriously wounded as
the result of shooting scrape here
last night. Lunz fell dead dufing
the firing and when the. fracas was
over it was found Pixley was shot in
the head and Flood in the leg. Both,
i, is believed will recover. Pixley
was formerly a Hutchinson switch
man.
The trouble which eliminated in
the fatal fight of last night began two.
weeks ago. Some of the toughs Of
the town had two women camping in
wagon near town and the better
class of citizens resented it. After
trying to get the women out of the
community some of the good citizens
went to Kinsley, secured warrants
for them and had them thrown. in
jail, where they are-yet awaiting trial.
The toughs took up the quarrel of
the women and have been threaten
ing trouble. Last night they gather
ed at Curry's store where Lupz and
Pixley happened to be and renewed
the quarrel, which finally eliminated
in general shooting affray. Fifteen
or more shots were fired with the re-
suit announced above. C
Flood was the only one of the as
sailants who was injured and as soon
as the shooting became general the
others fled. 1t is not known for
certain whether Flood shot the
other two men, or whether they were
victims Of the bullets of others in the
party. 1t is presumed that Flood was
SHOT either by Lunz or Pixley.
OF course we want the Great Bend
& Southern, the Gulf, H. & n. W.,
the Rock Island-or any other old
railroad that is headed this way.
Great Bend has lots of business, and
the road that can give US a southern
outlet at freight-rates in proportion to
the haul will get that business. As
t see ms the new roads are onto this
fact, there are pretty good chances
that we'll have one or more new
roads. oa
