Clarintia, March 24-The school book
controversy will not down. At the re-
cent school elections five townships vo1-
ed on the question of endorsing the ac-
rion of the boards in contracting for
school books. East River and
Buchanan voted to reject the
action of the boards and to in
stall the American Book Company's
books. Cofax also practically re-
pudiated the contract made last July
and Douglas and Valley voted to sus-
tain the boards. On Monday this
week injunction suits were started
from Buchanan and East River to
restrain the boards from adopting
the American Book Company's books
on the ground that to do so would be
a violation of the statute and asking
for a writ of injunction to restrain
the board making the changes. In
Buchanan the suit is brought by
Charles D. Rouse VS.. the directors
and the directs elect The direc-
tors are e. P. Hardee, E. NJ. Miller.

The Reasons For 1t.

Many man wonders why his salary
is not raised and never thinks to-
blame himself for it. He sees others
who are no smarter than he is, adj
vance step by step, up the ladder Of
success and envies them the ''luck, :"
while he bemoans his own. He de-
clareS the other fellow mas u.pull'
and is thus able to secure positions
and salaries otherwise understandable.
In this he is generally right. The adj
Vancing one as haIpull and a strong one
and he made it all himself. 1t is call
ed "work" and it is within reach of
every climber who wishes to avail
himself of it. Its the only "pull'
that always succeeds. The great mis-
take of many young man is in expect
ing his reward before he has earned
it. The man or company employing
him cannot be expected to know that
$40 clerk is worth Si2 unless he
proves 1t by doing $12 worth Of work.
Even then it may take some time for
the raise to come, but come it will.
The man who is willing to do more
than he is paid for will always climb,
but the one who does just what lie is
paid for and no more will either re-
main stationary or stumble. Don't
think your weeks salary is all in
your pay envelope. The man who

BOY SAVED BY ST. BERNARD
Big Dog Plunges Into Manhole in New
Orleans and Holds Child
Out Of Water.

Little Ralph Johnson, son Of street
peddler of New Orleans, had the honor
of being saved by ST. Bernard dog
to whom he was an utter stranger. At
Valence street and ST. Charles avenue
sewerage was recently being con-
structed. When the workmen quit the
well for the night the manhole was
left open. Mrs. Johnson, with her
boy, three years old, and wearing a
dress, were in the vicinity, the mother
trying to sell laces. While the mother
had gone to house in the block the
child remained on the sidewalk for
awhile, and then walked to the man
hole and peered into it. Accidentally
he fell in. The child screamed loudly
for help, but being six feet under the
ground, no one heard his cries.
Just at this time an old milkman
passed. With him was great st. Ber-
nard dog. The dog heard the cries Of
the child, and for second could not
locate them. The child cried again,
and this time the dog plunged into the
well and seized the child's clothing in
it's mouth. The dog held the little boy
above the water until both dog and
child were hoisted out Of the manhole
by passers by. The dog then trotted
after the old milkman as though saw
ing a child's life were an everyday oc-
currence.

LIGHTNING ROD INDICATED
Experiments of Sir oliver Lodge Prove
That Copper Conductors Attract
the Destructive Bolts.

Unless some inventive genius comes
forward with method by which wet
string may be made to do service as
lightning rod the demonstrations recent
ly given by Sir Oliver Lodge before the
London Institute of Architects may
eventually lead to the restoration OF
the highly profitable times OF the llghtn-
ing rod agent. His demonstrations go
to show that this gentleman OF smooth
language was far from being mistaken
in his statements that his copper tipped
rods would draw the electric bolts from
their course of destruction. The trou-
BILE was that they were too good. In MS
experiments he used three different SUD-
stances as onductors-copper, iron anu
wet string. While copper was the most
intense and rapid conductor, it produced
sharp crack at the flash and showed
by the intensity of its action that it was
likely to set up a side flash, which III
protected buildings has been the origin
Of most of the lightning accidents which
have resulted in the loss OF faith on the
part of the people in the verac1ty OF tne
much maligned lightning rod man. Iron
took the bolt with less noise and the wet
string with hardly any, yet the latter was
efficient in protecting the two other con-
ductors. Wet string is, of course, impos-
sible in practice, but Sir Oliver main
tanned that iron was quite as efficient
conductor as copper and far more SAFE,
in so far as it did away with the side flash.
His conclusion was the trial showed that
copper as a lightning conductor should
be dismissed with costs. Should it be
possible to convince the American house
holders Of the correctness of his views,
the practical outcome of the demonstra-
ton may be the revival of the lightning
rod industry, with iron as substitute
for copper.

Long Conventions.

Harper's Weekly says that the long,
est convention in our political history
was the Democratic national conven-
tion which met at Charleston, S. c.,
in 1860. At the end of ten days it
had accomplished nothing, and adj
journed to meet in Baltimore.
Even when the majority of the dele
gates reconvened in the last named
city, they needed four days to nomin.
ate Stephen A. Douglas In 1868, the
Democratic national convention met
in Tammany Hall. New YORK, on July
4, which fell on Saturday.
1t did not begin balloting until the
following Tuesday, and it was not I'm.
til Thursday that the convention was
stampeded for Horatio Seymour In
1892 the Democratic national conyen
tion which nominated Mr.. Cleveland
for the third time, was In session
three days. Neither was it until the
third day that Mr.. Bryan was nomin

years later. The Kansas City conven

after the platform was carried
through the committee on resolution.

thing his'Own way. And there was ;
