HALF POUND OF DYNAMITE
EXPL0DEs IN HIS FACE.
Sid Cook Crawls One Hundred Feet
Through Passway in Mine After
Being Torn by Explosion,

AtlI30 O'Clock THURSDAY morning,
July 6, Sid Cook, a miner employed
by the Western Stove Lining Com
pany, had his face and breast badly
torn by the explosion Of a half pound
OF dynamite. Physicians say that it
is doubtful II his eyesight can be
saved.
Cook has been in the employ Of the
Western Stove Lining Company for
about two months, coming here from
Pennsylvania, and is a sober and
steady workman.
He was down a 9s-foot shaft 100 feet
back from the entrance aud had
placed a charge Of dynamite in the
ground and retired to a safe dis
lance TO await the explosion; after
waiting. as he thought, long enough,
he went back to light the fuse
again, but Just as he got lin front
OF 10 the charge exploded, tearing bis
head and breast and binding him.
Unassisted and In total darkness, Mr..
Cook crawled 100 feet back to the
mouth OF the tunnel, got in the cage
and came to the surface, his face un-
recognizable for the blood that was
streaming from his wounds. He wa;
taken to the office and medical aid
summoned Immediately, and after
making a hasty examination anc
dressing his wounds, Drs. Basket ant
Rodes announced that his injuries
were not necessarily serious, but the,
feared for his eyesight.
He was taken To his home in south
east Mexico.

Breeders Gazette.
The world is a strange place to the
young man Born filed with am
bition. associated for a time, II he is
so fortunate, with men OF high ideals
and noble attachments, be is after a
time pitched out into real life to APP
ply as much Of his burning zeal and
new ideals as he can find place to use.
Often he becomes dismayed and disap-
pointed aud sometimes discouraged at
the apathy he finds In the seeming
lack Of appreciation he receives. The
writer has sent several young men
from the agricultural colleges to begin
their life work on stock farms. A re-
cent letter from one such young man
who is fulf of high purpose and enthu-
siasm tells OF his encouragement on a
farm rather backward, under a fore
man incaple and unappreciatlve and
somewhat given to dissipation. The
young nan asks: ''Shall | stick?"
There is the very place to stick 1t
is the place where a good man is
needed. No better thing a befall a
young man than to have opportunity
to do good and faithful work and this
young man has that chance. The
owner is bound to see the value Of a
young man who goes steadily on put
ting things on a right basis, straight
ening out the crooked places, bringing
order out Of chaos, The fear Of the
young man that his employer will
never know that be is doing honestly
and we'll, as be is not there to see, is
entirely groundless Employers who
have any sense at all do know, and do
consider how to reward the faithful
one,
In such cases there is always the
possibility that the young man fresh
from school has too much Of theory
just at first, and must learn to fit it to
practice. Sometimes seeming back
wardness is the expression Of prudence
founded on experience. Methods,
plants and animals that are adapted
TO one place may not fit in another.
1t is wise for beginners to think a
good deal, observe a good deal and say
little OF the practices they find in a
strange land. Sooner or later the
chance will come gradually to try
newer and presumably better methods.
Employers will welcome successes thus
achieved.
The chance TO work is the young
mans opportunity. The harder the
place the better the opportunity, the
more sure the development.

to the thousand dollars given by the
State and will be awarded as prem
iums. The show will be held some

as many fine chickens to Mexico.
This enterprise should prove Of
great benefit to the citizens OF Aud

the growing Of poultry. This show

splendid satisfaction to all concerned.
We trust our people viii move
