GAVE THEM A SETBACK.
How the Automobile Interfered with
the Domestic Economy of
One Village.

Il was making little tour of SUI
summer" said a New Yorker, relates the
Sun, land one day drew Oft to one side
OF the road with my machine and stopped
to let an approaching farm team pass.
The team came up, showing no fear at
the sight of the auto, and hailed the
team.
I'm glad to see that the horses
through here have become used to the
automobiles and are no longer fright
eae1 by them, said.
Yes replied the farmer, "but it's a
big setback to us farmers. It's goin' to
raise our taxes like all possessed
Raise your taxes!' said |.
Yes, he replied You see, some OF
our feller citizens has been hot foot fer
good while back to have the town git
one o these steam road maxim ma
chimes, and they cost tremendous-$2,O 900
or $3,0OO-and we've been objectin' to it
every time, and carryin' our pint, on the
ground that one O. them machines work.
in on the road and tinkerin' of 'em up
all the time would be everlastinly sheer
in our hosses so at every turn that
there'd be nothin' but smashed wagons
and broken bones in the town from one
years end to t'other, and it wouldn't
be safe fer us to drive nowheres.'
'Well?' said not little puzzled.
Well continued the farmer, then
by and by along comes the automobiles
of all kinds and sizes and shapes, and
with all sorts O. noises, and the first
thing us farmers knows it gifts so our.
hosses amt no more afeard of 'em and
don't keer no more about 'em than if
they was only OK teams geehawin' by.
And that knocks u.s.
How so?' said |, still puzzled.
How SOP responded the farmer.
Why, consarn it. if our hosses amt
skeered by automobiles, of course they
amt goin' to mind steam road maxim
machine, and so we hain't got no legs
to stand on in arguin ag'in the gittin' of
one! And they're goin' to get one and
set it to work, and our taxes is goin'
to be bumped up like all possessed TO
pay fer it! Two or three thousand dol
lars, and all because our hosses has got
used TO automobiles on the roads. and
won't skeer no more! Big setback? l
should say so! Geet up, BillH
"And the farmer drove on, but he
didn't appear to be much cast down
over the setback as one might have
thought.

Coolest Liuufd.

Liquid hydrogen is by far the coldest
LIQUID known at the present time. AT
ordinary atmospheric pressure it boils
at-422 degrees F., and reduction of
the pressure by an air pump brings the
temperature down to-432 degrees, at
which the liquid becomes solid, resem-
bling frozen foam. According to Prof.
Dewar, TO whom the credit is due of hav-
ing liquefied hydrogen in 1898, the liquid
is a colorless, transparent body, and is
the lightest liquid known to exist. its
density being only one-fourteenth that
of water; the lightest liquid previously
known was liquid marsh gas, which is
six times heavier. The only solid which
has SO small density as to float upon its
surface is a piece Of pith wood.-Cas-

LIFE HLOTTERY.
Mexican Publication Points Out the
Many Chances Human Beings
Take Upon Entering Existence.

A far northern contemporary objects
to the phrase, Life is lottery" and
goes on to repeat the time-worn plati-
tudes that Life is an opportunity" q
struggle" etc. But life may be both an
opportunity and battle, says the Mex
ican Herald, and yet have some of the
features of a lottery. In the first place
men and women are not responsible for
their temperament, which makes or mars
fortunes, and renders life happy or the
reverse. We think as our temperaments
incline us, and here does fate lay heavy
hand upon us at the very outset Of ex-
istence. Then there is the bare chance
of being born into a well-to-do family
with civilized instincts, and so having
the benefit of solicitous care bestowed
on ones health and education. The child
born into a cross grained, unhappy. per-
haps struggling, family is surrounded
by unfortunate influences.
There is the lottery chance of draw
ing health prize. To be born with a
strong constitution in addition to a
genial and care-free temperament is an
immense advantage. To be born nerv-
Gus, rickety, subject to fits of depres-
sion from childhood, is nothing less
than a calamity. Many man who has
won fame, though handicapped by an
irritable disposition, has confessed how
hard was his struggle. To make enc
mics more easily than friends is the lot
of many men and women.
No human being can select his time for
entering the world; he may arrive just
when the lean years" begin, when
parents are forced to deny themselves
and their children not merely luxuries,
but comforts. The child born of care
worn or anxious mother is marked for.
moodiness during life. The child whose
mother is superstitious, timorous per-
son is handicapped in a world where
courage and cheerfulness are the great
success-compelling qualities.
All through life the lottery features of
human conditions are made manifest.
Luck may easily 60 past the careful,
honest and Industrious, and throw its
prize into the laps of fools. Life is very
much a lottery.

Shorthand and Mental Discipline.


The mental discipline which may be
derived from the practice of stenogra-
ply is permanent. Speed may be lost,
word signs may slip away. but the
power of concentrating the attention
persists. Nor is the increased power of
analysis confined to the analysis of
spoken words. 1t is brought into play
in all kinds of mental work. Possibly
the truth may be that only persons
with minds naturally analytic can be-
come expert stenographers, and that
the faculty is cause rather than an
effect of such proficiency. However
that may be the man who has a mind
of that sort can select a topic at ran
dom. analysize it rapidly into its nat
ural subdivisions and make a speech or
write an essay on it while the other
men would be cropping around for an
introduction. The value of this sort of
discipline to a lawyer or preacher or
writer is obviols. Mathematics is the

NOT WHOLLY DIsINTEREsTED.
Minneapolis Police Judges Suspf-
ciOus Reason for Not Arresting
All the Gamblers.

Judge" Emory. who for years gained
fame throughout the west for his de-
cisons while serving on the police court
bench in Minneapolis, arrived in Duluth
a few days ago, says the Duluth Herald
The story is told Oh the judge that he
was on the bench VIXEN an attempt was
being made several years ago to put the
gamblers out of business. At all of the
resorts where gamblers were wont TO
take the money from the pockets of their
victims by means of rake-offs and hold
outs, arrests were made by wholesale,
and the number in one day amounted to
scores.
Just after the raids the judge and few
Of his friends were indulging in little
game of draw poker at one of the large
clubs. The game was interspersed with
remarks about the raids, and one of the
players finally turned to the judge.
Judge" said he, what are you CO.

brought up before you tomorrow

HANS SOLITARINESS
Subject of Address by Dr. Mckinney
 at the Presbyterian Church.

The regular Sunday services were held in the Presbyterian church, with Rev. Preston Mckinney. D. D., occupy ing the pulpit. The music committee has engaged the services Of Hrs. C. :. Cravens for the winter, and under Der efficient leadership the chorus choir ts doing excellent work. At the morning service they sang the anthem, Rejoice Ee With Jerusalerl,' and the afternoon Folo was sung by Mrs. Dr. Richards.
 pr. Mckinney preached from the text, The heart knoweth its oWl bit terness, and a stranger doth not inter- meddle with it's joy" Prov 14:1O. He said in part: "The Individuality and solitariness of our deeper experiences seem to have been the thought Of the wise man in writing these words. To everyone his own and solitary inner history. All human faces are cast on the same general mold, but eacn Las it's own distinct individual eXprs ssIon; no two are-alike. All human histories gre laid out on the same general plan. but they all differ; each has it's own distinct experiences. No record of one life could be used for that Jf another by erasing and substituting names. So also of the deeper experiences of Ite- 1erent human lives; they are alike. our they are unlike. They are govcrneI by the same general laws, bUt they are distinct; they are individual, and they are so different that no two are so alike or SO allied, that they can tho roughly understand each othe-. Each man knows his own inward life, no oUh- CT does. Each heart, therefore, alone understands it's own bitterness or jOy. No feeling is SO general no sympathy so perfect, that any one can enter fully into .another's experiences or cOmpre- bend perfectly arothers feelings. Down below the surface of every heart there is a chamber which is a chamber Ef solitude, a chamber whose weeping CF whose laughter, whose motives or EhoSe hopes can never be heard out eide or understood.

is a popular expression for a proper Injunction. It means endeavOr 10 en- ter into sympathy with the man, con- sider his nature and environement, his peculiariues of temperament and his cfrcuns stances before assuming to pass judgment on him. But after all can you put yourself in his place in fact or in fancy? Can you get in touch with all the lines electric-like that thrill his soul, or if you could would their currents have the same effect on you that they had on nim2 No two per sons at different standpoints see just the same landscape, and it is quite as true that the standpoint of ones feel
 ings has it's effect and no two are just alike. What may be joy to one may be Ngrief to another, and what may be amusing to one may crush the heart of another. How then can you understand
 his struggle or his griefs, where you
 would have no griefs? You simply cannot. His heart alone can know it's
 own experiences, sufferings, or joys. And criticism would many a time be ! less severe and less unjust if we should always remember that when we have
 done our best to consider all and be just, we have after ali taken but an exterior view and know but little of what is really beneath, and we should condemn softly, if at all for the sake
 of what may be all unknown to us. | We condemn each other often because
 we do not understand each other. | Some eminent man said, T never met ragged boy without feeling disposed
 to take off my hat to him, for I neve- know how great a man may be con | cealed and growing under those rags and within his little person.
 And We never know when we meet
 a fellow man what great anguish may
 be hidden deep down in his soul. We
 should ofTen feel like uncOvering in
 the presence of an unspeakable grief, instead of criticising and condemning if we should only consider the pain and ! anguish of spirit that may lie at the
 root Of the actions of the people, ev-
 en of some who annoy and provoke us. | Of course these hidden agonies do not make a hidden life justifable, nor a bad heart good. Yet would it not be we'll to let such thoughts as these sOf- ten our criticisms, temper our judg- nents and cause us to act the comfort CT, rather than the critic. Many a time
 we cannot excuse the act, yet we may
 at least show some respect to the grief
 that may lie deep at the root Of it."

Sorrow is not always wretchedness. Perhaps ycu have stood at your mothers coffin and remembering her heavenly spirit, and assured of her present rest, you "C-! scarcely say that you were unhappy, though in q sense yOIr heart Was broken. There was something pe2Se- ful, almost triumphant. in your grief The Christ-lil1e, unselfish gricf tends to elevate and ennoble and make peace ful and glorify the soul rather than em- bitter it.
 But there Is a grief which is unal- loved wretchedness. Grief is mixed with gall when conscious tha- t is oar very own, that no one can share it nor fully understand it. and We so give ourselves up to it that we snuc our selves up in our own hearts with it and commune with it until we are absorb ed by it. Then our souls will grow mar row, our joys will be sappei, and cur bitterness intensified. And here is tho danger that arises from the individual Ity and sOliIariness of our experiences as set forth in the text. The auUGOte is Jesus Christ, so let his spirit into the
 most solitary being, so far as earthly
