There is no reasonable excuse
for any man to live in a town
if he doesn't like it. If you have
no words of commentator to say
for your town, its institutions,
or people, emigrate. You won't
stop the town clock by leaving.
The church bell will have the
same musical ring, the little dogs
will play just as well, and the
pure air. bright sunshine and
sparkling water will have the
same health-giving properties.
Speak a good word for your
neighbors, if you can; if you can
not, don't everlastingly enlarge
on their faults. If you have
become thoroughly disguised
move away; go somewhere where
things will suit you. Polk Coun-
ty (Fla.) Record.

CANS FOR THE REFUSE
The Board of Public Works Will Ty to
 Keep Streets Clean.

The board of public works expects to have cans placed at convenient spots in all parts of the city before the schools open for the fall term, so that the children will have some place to throw waste paper, banana peels, apple cores and other refuse, instead of littering the streets and sidewalks with them. As soon as the receptacles have been placed in posi- tion and the children get a few les sons about the use of them, the police will be expected to see that young sters as well as older folks observe the law in this respect. At the pres ent time the officers are engaged in an uphill effort to convince store- keepers and others that they have no right to throw old papers in their back yards, but before much notice will be taken of what they say it is likely that some arrests will have to be made. There may be some ex- cuse," said an officer, flor people who don't read the local papers, but l can't understand why good citizens who know the law as we'll as we do, and whose attention has been called to 1t on and of for the past few weeks, persist in violating it. It looks to me as if they wanted to see how far they can go in that direction and escape punishment" Some of the officers feel aggrieved at the con-. duct of certain people whose places of business are located on their beats and If they don't mend their manners there will be trouble in the near fu- ture.

CIRCUS WAS ENJOYED
Big Crowd Tuned Out, and Some (f
 Them Were Drenched With Rain.

Despite the threatening weather, large crowds were present at the per- formance of the Colonel Cummins' and Walter Mains combined shows which exhibited in this city yester- day. The audience in the afternoon seemed to enjoy the show very much and was very liberal in applause. while in the evening many left be- fore the show was over.
 The ring. or arena, was uncovered, as Is the case with all Wild West shows, and this made 1t much more comfortable for the spectators. Of course the spectators had a covering over them to protect them from the weather and 1t is a good thing they did. for the rain came down in tor rents towards the close of the after noon performance. Nevertheless, the full program was carried out and one of the principal acts, the Custer bat tie, was given Tn a downpour of rain during the afternoon.
 There were very few vacant seats In the evening. but the show did not make a very big hit. The riding of the cowboys. especially Mexican George. alias ''The Red Shirt wond- er." was good. The broneho busting was rather amusing. During the per formance the fakirs as usual adver- tssed the concert after the big show. The management of the circus should get wise right away and cut their concert out. Without doubt it was the biggest "bunco" ever seen in this city. Putrid could not begin to de- scribe 1t and the players themselves. knowing that their supposed min strel performance was all to the bad, quit after singing a few songs.
 The circus had much trouble the past couple of days It jumped from Northampton to this city and the shov people had nothing to eat from o'clock saturday night until Sun lsy afternoon at o'clock There rere many other little things. such as . vrecked car. whifh eaused them uuch annorance. but they carried out tkeir program without . hifcA-

had been immune and had been grow

received. however, what will probably
prove to be a disastrous setback. The
extent of the shock is reported to have
covered an area Of 2 degrees, Or about
14O miles in length. The city is backed
by the enormous range Of the Andes
which is famous for it's terrible gorges
and towering peaks. recently success
fully surmounted by the Iransandean
railway, which connects the west coast
with Buenos Ayres on the east. Rail
ways, telegraphs, water and electric
mains were all broken down as in San

darity OF the houses preserved them
from ruin. The tremors caused by the
earthquake spread over the world and
were recorded on numerous seismo-
graphs.

The earthquake at Valparaiso occur
red on the slopes Of the great chain of
the Andes, a district which has been
shaken by such movements ever since
the country has been known to history.
The strata Of the continent has been
pushed up to heights of nearly 10000
feet, all along the western side of South
America. A large number of volcanoes
exist in the chain Of the Andes, but
they are not continuously distributed.
There is one numerous group in Colon
bia and Ecuador, and then a gap oc-
ours, Peru being almost free from vol
canoes, the second group occurring near
the southern boundary of the country
in the Lake Titicaca district Then an
other break occurs, and the third series
of volcanoes begins just south of San
tiago.
The sectional view shows how the
great range Of the Andes rises ON the
western edge of the continent and slopes
away to a wide plain towards the east
The ocean depths off Valparaiso are also
severe, the 6,OOO-foot line coming close
in shore as indicated in the one-column
map. The strata adjacent to these
great inequalities Of height and depth
are in state Of great strain.

Stricken Valparaiso and the Earth
quake Which Devastated 1t.
Valparaiso, the South American city
that has suffered a fate similar TO that
OF San Francisco, is built upon 10 hills
or mountains belonging to the coast
range and varying from 300 to LOO
feet in height. These hills are some
times separated by deep ravines
through which flow small streams Of
water. The level ground along the bay
covers only narrow strip, in some
places wide enough for four parallel
streets, in others barely wide enough
for two. 1t is nowhere more than one
half mile in width. Much Of this mar
row strip was made by filing up the
low ground along the bay and protect
ing it from the sea by stone walls and
iron rails.
Streets in the level part of the city
are generally straight, but the hills are
reached by winding roads, stairways
and steam lifts. Belgian blocks form
the principal material for street paving,

How to secure farm help, Is one OF
the most vital questions before the
farmers of this country to-day, says
Farming. Wherever one goes, he finds
that every farmer Is deficient In the
proper kind of help on the farm. and
that many farmers are hampered and
prevented from doing the best work
possible for lack Of efficient help.
Twenty-Five years ago this difficulty
did not confront the farmers to any
thing like the extent existing to-day.
Then. the boys Of the families remain
ed on the farm and were not above aid
