Shobe, smarting from the wounds OF
the imaginary pitchfork, and, fearing
another thrust, started hastily in. the

and, forgetful Of the fact Of his hay

to the already terror stricken Shobe,
and he fairly flew.
Away went Peters, with the unearth-

and on came Shobe, with legion of
demons, as he imagined, in his rear.
Peters, in going down the slant of

horizontal position caught on a limb of
a fallen tree in such way as not only
to arrest his onward course, but to
jerk him around with his face in the
direction of his imaginary pursuers.
On being thus brought face to face
with the sheet, the recollection flashed
upon his mind at once as to how it
came to be attached to him, and the
righteousness of the idea of his get

WORDS OF WISDOM.
The only sure defense is self-defense.

The only sure defense is self-defense.
The only sure dependence is self-de-
pendence.
There is a greater power than might;
its name is right.
There are things dearer than life,
higher than peace.
He is an idle rascal who objects to
work-between meals.
Learn to govern yourselves and to
be gentle and patient.
The earnest believer in good time
coming will help to make it come.
Guard your temper, especially in
seasons of ill-health, irritation and
trouble.
Remember that valuable as is the
gift of speech, silence is often more
valuable.
Words are the carriage in which
thoughts ride, so the human body is the
souls chariot.

r1Nrs uy MOTORISTS


w Dy speed Ficndss
The tribute levied upon motorists by
the magistrates OF the United Kingdom
during 1904 reached the enormous sum
Of E21S,000. This amount averages
very nearly f10 per head for every car
Astonishing as these figures are, it
is probable that when the total of this
years fines can be made up it will
reach well over 100000.
The increase this year is due to the
persistent manner in which the police
in many parts Of the country. and espe-
cially in the southern counties, have
pursued their campaign against motor
cars by means Of traps.
"The latest form of police trap is an
electrical arrangement" says Stenson
Cooke, Secretary of the Automobile
Association. "a piece Of rope is almost
buried across the road at the start of a
measured furlong. When the car
touches the rope it starts timepiece.
Another rope is laid at the end of the
trap, and when the car touches this it
stops the timepiece. This is the most
just and reliable form of trap, for it
does not depend for its accuracy upon
cheap stop watches and unskilled po-
lice as timeheepers.
by the system of patrols which the
Automobile Association has established
many Of the police traps have been
completely nullified. At Guildford
some time ago as much as f1O5 was
taken in fines from motorists in one
day. Now that our scouts are at work
things are very different.
ION two main roads, working two
days a week, the patrols exercised the
necessary restrain on POT motor cars.
But for the associations efforts at least
half of these would have been fined
We estimate that we save f100 a
week on each road."-London Express.

II Forms Hill That Covers About
Twelve Acres.

Probably the largest sawdust pile in
the world is the one at Cheboygan,
Mich. This is the product of one mill
operated by the W. & A. Macarthur
Company. The mill being run by
water power had no way of disposing
of It's sawdust. The company was not
permitted to dump it into the river
and for few years an attempt was
made to burn 1t. There was so mucn
smoke that the village passed an
ordinance prohibiting that form of de-
struction. AS a consequence it was
simply hauled out into vacant field
and during the thirty years of its
growth has acquired monstrous pro
portions. 1t Ia hill 1850 feet long

80 feet In height. So 4stsf 9a

that 1t has a considerable chemical

when some one will find way OF
