Railroad Notes.

A new girl arrived at the home Of
George Garvln last Friday. George is
able TO work again.
r jim Casey, formerly yard master
here, is braking ON Nos. II and 7S be-
tween PhlllipSburg and Fairbury.
RailroadIng Tuesday night was
about the worst Of the season and the
night force had all they could do to
keep things moving.
PhiIlipSburg has been supplying
Goodland with Head Light oil, car
oil and both cotton and wool waste
for few days until their supplies
can reach them.
The railroad company now has three
tre plugs located and ready for bust
ness, and when 1t gets new and

pretty we'll prepared to combat a fire
II one should break out.
Bert Clark, Ed Thomas and Tom
Cook have been suffering from very
bad colds for the past week. Bert was
of duty several days, Ed one day and
Tom 'soldlered" a good deal OF his
time for two or three days.
Mrs. A. L Roberts returned Tues
day night from her visit to Omaha.
On account Of the threatened blizzard
In this territory, Mr.. Roberts did not
get to join her at Omaha and return
with her as he had intended to do.
The car men are again working ten
hours per. day. Bad order cars were
accommodating so rapidly under the
nine hour rule that something had to

This extra hour helps matters quite
good deal.
We understand that Frank Gray,
after giving up his job Of cleaning
dining cars, through no fault Of his
own, lost the job OF pumping which
he understood he was to have. This
Is not only unfortunate for Frank,
but an injustice to him.

A Rural picture,

Let the discontented farmer look
upon this picture. The poor and tax
burdened farmer lives In the center OF
his park (called by plain people a
farm) for which he pays no rent. He
drives his own horses, so pays no. car
fare. He has his own, pork, mutton,
beef. chicken, turkey, eggs, milk,
butter and vegetables and he cuts his
own ics from a near by stream, pro-
duces his own honev to use on his
pancakes made from buckwheat
grown on his own farm. His cooking
ana heating are done by wood from
4 bis own timber, and when he wants
more cash he sells of some Of his sur
plus. He has his own telephone, bis
mail brought to his door, and besides
a score of other advantages. In the
face of all this many are drifting tC

horace Mann.

1t isn't every boy or girl who knows
that they are indebted to Horace
Mann for freedom from the kind of
punishment at school that was once
termed licking" Horace Mann did
more to improve the public school sys-
TEN than any other man. His own
state felt the benefits of his efforts
first, but the system he organized
soon became general throughout this
country, and even in England.
Perhaps his work in this direction
grew out of the difficulty he expert
enced in obtaining his own education.
His parents were very poor people,
living on a small farm in Massachu.
sets, and young Horace was obliged
to work very hard with the rest Of the
family. He had to work so hard, in
fact, that until his fifteenth year he
could not go to school more than two
months in any year. In those days.
too, there we're very few subjects
taught and the few books that Hor-
ace needed were not provided free, as
all are now. This was very discourag
ing to little Horace, for he had to
braid straw to earn the books his
studies required. Most of his early
education was gained in a small
library in the town, where he found
some books on history and theology,
books so dry that no scholar of to-day
could take the slightest interest in
them.
Horace persevered finally passed
through college and became a great
lawyer Long before middle age he
devoted his life to the improvement of
educational methods, and our wonder
full system Of schools stands to-day as
the greatest monument a man could
have.

Homemade Lanterns.

The materials needed for a home
made lantern are a baking powder
can. nail, hammer, candle, two
yards of wire a piece of cardboard
and a piece of rounded wood to fit
into the can.
Insert the round wooden wedge into
the can and with hammer and nail
make as many holes as you wish,
say perhaps three holes in group all
over the can, which makes a very
pretty pattern. With the wedge in
side the can will not bend.
The stand for the candle is made
from the pasteboard, which should be
thick. Cut this into circular piece,
a shade smaller than the can, first
making a hole in the center large
enough for the candle. Push this, with
the candle in it, into the bottom of the
can and the lantern itself is finished
Hammer three holes at equal dis
tances in the cover Of the can and
then put three more holes in the Ian.
tern itself close to the top of the can,
also at equal distances apart.
If you have some old chains use
these to hang the lantern, as in the
picture. If not, use wire.

Cane Trick.

Measure the length of your forearm
along a cane by placing your elbow
even with it's head and marking the
point to which the tip Of your middle
finger reaches.
Take hold of your cane with your
middle finger covering the mark and
your little finger nearest to the head.
The cane must be at right angles to
the hand and be grasped firmly, so
that the tips Of all the fingers are
pressed tightly against the palm of the
hand. It is not fair" to hold the cane
obliquely.
Now try to put the head of the cane
to your lips. If you succeed you are
an exception to the general rule, and
even you will probably fail If you hold
the cane, in the same manner, at a
point little farther from the head
But any one can do the trick easily
by holding the cane at less distance
from its head than the length of his
forearm.

Can You Do This7

there a wireless message was received
saying that a feet Of powerful Rus
sian battleship was In the vicinity pre-
pairing to blockade the entrance to the
river. The Japanese commander was
in a quandry. To remain meant death
by starvation; to go out meant de-
struction by 13.inch guns. He was re.

young midshipman, who guaranteed to
get the feet of transports safely out

caddle Was Deliberate.

Beerbohm Tree has revised an old
saying and gives this reading: "A man
is never a hero to his golf caddie.
While out on a Scottish link some
time ago he had particularly silent
and stupid-looking caddle, who fol-
lowed close at his heels without say
ing a word. But since silence some
times speaks louder than words the
actor was nervous, and after a partic-
ularly bad drive which seemed to de-
mand an apology, exclaimed: did you
ever see worse player on these
llnks?" The caddie said nothing. A
still worse drive from the next tee
called forth the same query. The
caddie stared silently for a few mo-
ments. II heard what ye said RIGHT
enough" he at last slowly replied.
I'm Just theenking."

Paris every year, choosing a different
title for each visit, and that he is

lives, for should he be recognized he
would be almost sure to suffer insult
Two years ago he was recognized by
a newspaper man while in a railway

How to Attract Hornets and Bees.

Last summer Ned went to the coun.
try to visit his cousin VIII, and one
day the two boys walked out into the
woods. They were sitting on log,
poking around with stick, when sud
denly a crowd of yellow jackets
swarmed out from a hole intent upon
furnishing the disturbers Of their peace.
Ned took to his heels and ran. wav-
ing his hat in all directions, while
viii stood perfectly still The bees
pursued poor Ned, and stung him
frightfully, and paid absolutely no at
tention to VIII.
This will invariably happen. If you
keep perfectly quiet bees will seldom
attack you, but if you run they will
surely follow.
