Robbed The Grave.

A startling incident, is narrated
by John Oliver of Philadelphia,
as follows: 81 was in an awful con-
dition. My skin was almost yell
low, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides,
no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had
given me up. Then I was advised
to use Electric Bitters; to my great
joy, the first bottle made decided
improvement. 1 continued their
use for three weeks, and am now a
well man. l know they rob-
bed the grave of another vic

If you get the foolish idea that
everybody else has an easier and
better time than yourself you
simply make your own life miser-
able, and the probabilities are that
if you were in the other fellows
place you would fail more abund-
|antly than you do now. If the
budding of Nature into new life in
the Spring time, the blossoms on
the old apple tree, the roses in the
garden, the golden corn of the har-
vest, the richly colored fruifage of
the orchard, the song of the uncaged
birds, the frisking of lambs in the
pasture awaken no admiration in
your heart; with Natures sym
phony attuned by Creator who
was able to play the role of worlds
through the space OF a universe
without discord or a. jar; if you
cannot find entertainment for the
leisure hours of the mind and food
for the needs of your soul amid
such surroundings and in such en-
vironments as these you were never
intended for an agriculturist, and
you had better huddle yourselves
together in the great cities where
one man feeds upon the miseries of
a thousand-you have a chance in
a thousand to win.
Do you appreciate that on the
old farm you can be your own die
tator9 You can take your horses
and carriage and with your family
enjoy a day of recreation, and that
old partner of yours-Nature-will
run the business at home pretty
successfully while you are away.
Did you ever think what a good,
healthy place it is to live and rear
yonr family, amid the blessings of
pure air and outdoor exercise that
are so essential to the best develop
ment Of the youngq
Money will measure commodities,
it will buy many things, and it will
also bring trouble and trial and
worryment by misuse, but there
are some things it will not measure,
and some of these things you get
from the old farm. I like the man
who is thankful for what he has
rather than the man who is envious
of the possessions of another. econ
tentment is better than riches"
Somehow 1 like to see a young
man start to make a home on the
farm. I want to say to him-study
and think, think and study; with,
in yourself deep hidden lies the
germ, which if but developed will
yield a power undreamed of. The
golden treasure il hidden in the
rock or buried in the sand, but it
is gold when you get it.
1t has been said "the homes of a
nation are its strongest forts, its
schoolhouses it's defenses," but
from its farms must come its sub
stance, its life-from them will
come the Drawn, the brain, the
health, the energy to bear a nation
up and on through the imperative
needs of the advancing ages in
working out its destiny.
I have great hope for the future
of my country. I am proud that !
am an American and prOuder yet
that 1 am an American farmer.
From the farm homes of this great
nation, dotted over her plains and
valleys, and through the little red
shoolhouse on the hillside imagine
1 can see coming the procession
that is destined to civilize, Chris
tianize and rule the world for good.
In life's great rush to win,
Ye tillers OF the soil
Forget not, "They who think
Will govern them that TOLL"

LONG HOURS NO EXCUSE
Sleepy Railrosders Should Quit Work
Rather Than Jeopardize Life.

Philadelphia. Oct Judge Swartz,
in the Montgomery county court at
Norristown. refused TO affirm a point
in law submitted by an attorney. that
when a railroad employe falls asleep
from physical weakness from illness
or from WEAKNESS from long hours OF
steady employment. and an accident
happens the empl0ye should be ac-
quilted.
The case was that OF John I.
Fleischutt. Of POttsyille. Pa. an engi-
neer on a Pennsylvania railroad freight
train. The freight train and a passen-
ger train collided near Pottstown last
April. in which two persons were
killed and a dozen injured. The crew
of the freight train we're held by the
coroner for criminal negligence.
Fleischutt was the first to be tried.
II was testified by the fireman OF the
freight train that the freight train
had been ordered to wait on a siding
until four trains had passed. He said
the crew had been on duty % hours,
and that while waiting for the trains
TO pass they fell asleep. They awoke
before the fourth had passed, and.
thinking that the fourth had gone by,
the freight train was taken from the
siding,
Before the case went to the jury
Fleschutt's attorney made the point
above stated. In refusing to affirm 1t,
Judge Swartz held that no man had
a right 10 work on a railroad unless
in fine physical condition. and II he is
sleepy, no matter from what cause, he
should discontinue work, even though
he should lose his position. rather than
ieopardize human life By continuing
on duty.
Fleisehutt was convicted. The trial
OF Conductor Charles "A. Brentz, also
OF POttsYille, began today.
