Dust Showers.

Particles of dust which came from
the Desert of Sahara have often set
tied on ships in the Mediterranean
and even out on the North Atlantic.
A still more remarkable phenomenon
is reported by Science. A dust fog"
SO dense as to interfere with naviga-
ton was observed in the Malay Archi-
pelago in 1902. Scientific experts at
Batavia, on the island of Java, have
been studying the matter, large num-
beers of circular letters o. inquiry hav-
ing been sent to ship captains whose
business took them to those seas at
the time in question. The causes OF
this remarkable dust fog have been
sought in the deficient rainfall of the
year of 1902; in extended forest fires.
especially In Borneo and southern
Sumatra, and in the transportation OF
dust by the southeast trade from
Australia. AS the progress of the dust
from Australia could be followed by
successive stages northward, the last
named cause was doubtless the most
important one

grit
Remember that always, my lad
Ambition will solemnly sit,
And energy, mayhap, go mad;
Unless grit will push them along
To the goal where success reigns SUI
preme,
Your life's but somnolent song,
Your struggle wearisome dream.
All, then, If the nail you would hit,
Be sure that you do it with grit;
For, until you do,
You will find it quite true
That nothing is gained without grit,
my lad
That nothing is gained without grit
You struggle until you are old,
Then say, with a sigh, Nothing won,
Oh, why didn't some one take hold
And drive me till something was done ~
Why didn't you know how to grasp
The value of each fitting day,
And not let old Idleness clasp
You tight in his meshes, and say: &
"Ah, lad. you can't win on your wit,
1t takes lots of courage and grit
You may conquer a place
Near the first in the race
But nothing is gained without grit

No, nothing is gained without grit,

had changed to look Of admiration.
''You see, the others l shot at didn't

While he was talking Dunstan had
mentally concluded that Miss Huntress,
confronting him, was one of the girls
from New York seminary on the out
skirts of the woods. Since coming to
the village he had heard of their latest
craze for hunting, and certainly, judg-

"She must regard me as petty poach-

ridiculous to this brown-eyed girl was
particularly disagreeable to him. A
sudden wild resolve to carry the sltua-
ton with high hand came upon him
and his line of action was decided In a

Really, 1t doesn't disturb me in the

TO Avoid scabby Potatoes.

Even with the greatest care 1t is not
always possible to grow potatoes free
from scab, but 1t surely pays to take
all the precautions possible. 1t is de-
cidedly an uphill job to attempt to
grow potatoes on soil that Is infested
with the scab and the only way to
avoid this is to put the ground into
some other cultivated crop for two or
even three years. If possible. obtain
seed tubers that are free from scab
and under any circumstances they
should be treated or sterilized SO rs to
prevent the spread Of the scab. This
process Is very simple and is easily

prise millions Of people owe iiiany joy
6us moments In theif lives.
Mi. Bailey; %hohe real name was
McGlnnis, came UP from the ranks 81
poor boys and emily experienced the
hafdshlps of life. Born in Detroit,
Mich, fifty-nine years ago, he set out
at the age Of II TO make his way III
the world. He worked at first on a
farm for $3.50 a month and then be.
came bell boy In Pontiac hotel.
There Frederick Bailey, general agent
for the Lane & Robinson circus, became
interested in him and gave him place
on the advance stan of the circus. Out
of gratitude the young man changed
his name to Bailey. Many years later
when Frederick Bailey was old and
needy, his wants were tenderly cared
for by his former protege.
In 1854 young Bailey quit the show
business and became clerk to sutler
in the army. At the close Of the war
he rejoined the circus, then managed
by Lake, as an agent. In 1872 he be-
came equal owner with ]. b. Cooper Of
the Great London Show and Travelled
with It all over the world, visiting the
Sandwich Islands, Australia, India and
South America. Bailey at this time
had no serious rival besides Barntim
and the competition between them was
for several years keen. tn 1881 they
United their shows and after Barnum's
death Bailey purchased the interests Of
the latter's heirs, becoming sole pro-
prlet6r. Other shows were at different
times bought and added to the Bailey
aggregation. Bailey had almost the
whole responsibility and management
of the Barnum & Bailey combination
and 1t was his ideas that entered so
deeply into Its success, although Bar
nun reaped the credit.
Therein Is seen the difference be-
tween the two. Barnum courted no.
toriety; Bailey Stunned 1t. The latter
was unassuming and retiring quail
ties one does not usually associate with
the business.
By those who know Mr.. Bailey init
l ID
mately, will be best remembered for his
benefactions. These, while numerous,
were secretly performed and this phase
of his life will appear new to many. By
his employees he was beloved. He was
one of the most generous employers in
the country. He educated the children
of those who worked for him, and those
who had become aged In his service he
never let pass therefrom. There are
men to-day about the circus who have
no possible work to do but to draw
their salaries.
He never forgot former friend.
Once from Vienna, amid multiplicity
of duties, he sent check for $1,000 to
a former acquaintance, whom he had
not seen in FIVE years, but whom he
had learned was In need. Often at
Christmas he would distribute as much
as $4,000 among his employees.
In private life Mr.. Bailey was blame
less. His chief interest conferred In his
home, his show and his quiet philan-
