THE WALKING CONTEST.

Cowboy Will. A. Smith, who
walked two ten-mile races here
last summer against ten of the
champion local walkers, and was
heated, came back for third con-
test Wednesday night.
The locals lost the contest We'd

something near a quarter of a
mile. The contest took place in
the Ration hall and was witnessed
by fair sized crowd.
The locals had only eight men,
so the contest was for but eight
miles. The time made by each
man was as follows: HI. A. Gire,

Band is by far the best in the Uni

band at the Worlds Fair last
year. In touring the country this
season they only make six stops in
Arkansas, and Batesville is to be
congratulated in securing a date.
Special rates will be made by the
railroad to Batesville on that date,
and there is no doubt that the
music loving people of Newark
will be we'll represented. An at
tempt is being made for special

pie this train will no doubt be Sc

The great thing about poverty

Viewed from all points, proba-
bly, one of the greatest successes
recorded is that of President
Schurman, of Cornell University.
1t is impossible" he says, for
the boy of today to appreciate
the poverty of life as it was on
Prince Edwards Island forty
years ago. 1t had no railroads or
daily newspapers, nor any of the
things that are commonplace now
to the boys in country districts. |
was never inside a theater until |
was 20, and did not see railroad
until | was in my teens. The on
ly newspaper was a little provin-
cial weekly, and the only book the
Bible and Pilgrims Progress.
And this was all since 1854. Ny
father had cleared away the land
upon which our house stood, and
no amount of land or work could
yield more than the necessaries of
life in that time and place.
Though there were eight children
of us my father was no poorer
than his neighbors.'
These were the conditions which
forced the boy to go to work at
the age of ten. He had become
clerk in country store at $50 a
year, when he was ID. He had
become college student at Is,
supporting himself by working in
the evenings as ook-keeper
He had won a scholarship in the
University of London, in competi-
tion with all other Canadian stu
dents, at 20. He was professor of
philosophy at Arcadia College,
Nova Scotia, at %. He was pres
ident of Cornell University at 3S.
And in all this he never had pen
ny that he did not earn after he
was 10 years old.

who is lucky enough to own some
of it never worries about gold

POOR BOYS HAVE
THE BEST CHANCE
So Declare Many of the Most Wealthy
Men Who Began Life in
Humble Circumstances.

There has been a disposition to
believe that poverty has been ov-
errated as a promoter of success,
and yet the many millionaires who
started poor declare that no worse
luck can happen to youth than
to begin life with a dollar.
In discussing this matter in a
recent magazine article well
known writer says that Schwab
speaks Of success as beginning
with the indispensable heritage
of poverty" Daniel X. Pearsons
declares that most people who
are good for anything are the
children of poor parents. They
make the right sort of men and
women. " THE poor man is the
man whose son is more likely to
succeed in life. y 1t is not pan
dering that makes purpose, and
men need to HUSTLE" he adds,
with the emphasis on the need.

most as soon leave young man a
curse as to burden him with the
almighty dollar" Consider

No Forests, No Fish.
From Recreation.


The preservation of our streams Is nee
essary to the preservation of our fish, but
many of the readers may not yet have con-
sidered how intimately the preservation of
our streams and hence the very existence
of many fish. especially brook trout, de-
ponds upon the preservation of the forests.
To illustrate this relationship between for
ests and water. make a couple of troughs,
line one with clay to represent the country
denuded of trees. the opposite trough lined
with sods of grass or moss to represent the
forest-clad mountain side. set them on an
incline and connect their upper ends with
a rough reservoir. Pour a pail of water into
this reservoir and there will be wild rush
of water down the clay-lined trough while
the moss and srass-lned one will drip for
hours. 1t only needs q little Imagination to
convert this machine into a forest-clad
mountain and one denuded of timber.
The cloudburst represented by the con-
tents OF the bucket suddenly poured into
the top reservoir is only a dangerous cloud
burst on the barren slope. By the use of this
simple device You can explain to child the
absolute necessity of preserving the for
ests upon the watersheds If we would have
continuous running water and not the GER
tainty of flood and drouths. which are
caused by the watersheds being reckiessly

to cut our timber and to dig our ores. But
