VIII Make II Il Success.

We are in receipt of a personal letter from
Mr.. Jos. Z. Thropp, the purchaser of Ca
toctin Furnace, and among other things, he
said: IL do not believe in raising false hopes,
nor Am "a boomer l do feel justified in
saying that my best efforts will be directed
to the making of the property (Catoci'n)
SUCCESS in some line, aud to this end | am
now cndeavoring TO carefully prepare plans"
This is the statement of q business man
and it has the right sort of "ring" to it,
There is no reason to make all sorts Of fool
statements abou, large furnaces, rolling mills
etc, being built before the purchaser can
perfect his plans. Time alone VIII develop
plans, which, when carried out will mean
much to our community, SO let us wait pa
tienlly and not expect too much to start
with. This is n big proposition and it will
not only take money to develop this proper
~, but ii will take time as well.

Judges Pension Law.

1t seems like the Judges are sure of their
pensions for while, At least The senators
decided by vote of Is to II to kill the bill
which would have repealed the law. 1t takes
sometime for the people to realize what's
what, and they may in two years from now
see to it that representatives be sent to An
napo.is pledged TO repeal this unpopular
measure. Tie Baltimore Sun has been more
than ardent in its support of the Judges
Pension Law, and the reasons advanced edi'
toria!ly and in interviews published oft times.
bordered on the ridiculous, for instance, one
of the main arguments has been that you
could not get fit men TO scrvc at the bench
for the pittancc ~ of salary received
and therefore a pension of $2.40O, was ne
cessity, so that, fit men could be induced tc
give up their practice and SO On the bench
What Tommy rot!
Senator Devbiss of this county voted In
favor of retaining the Judges Pensions.

Presence Of Mind Saved Life OF Eng
!ish Surveyor.
How an English surveyor routed a
Malayan tiger, with no other weapon
than a rolled-up map. is told by the
Straits Times of Singapore: while a
well-known local surveyor. who had
been kept out late at work on Satur-
day night. was driving in a rikisha
along Tampenis road, about 1880
o'clock, his rikisha coolie suddenly
dropped the shafts and ran for his life
into the edge of the jungle. On peer
ing into the da.kness-the vehicle
was not carrying a light-the gentle
man saw large creature standing in
the middle of the road. He got out OF
the rikisha and went towards the
beast. thinking 1t some large dog that
had frightened the coolie. When
within six or seven yards he per-
ceived that the brute was a large IT,
ger.
He had no weapon except large
district survey map rolled up. He
saw the futility of attempting to dis
able the tiger with the rolledup map.
but the thought struck him that he
might manage to Brighten 1t my mean
of his roll. Suddenly he unrolled 1t
with a quick flip, spreading 1t to Its
full area of four or five feet square.
With a single bound the tiger cleared
off into the jungle.
THE next thing was to find the
coolie. who eventually was discovered
in a state of collapse in the ditch. He
was unable to pull his fare back and
1t was not until three or four miles
had been traversed with both men on
foot that he recovered sufficiently to
pull the European home"
