RETURNS
I FROM THE
g SPRINGS
Plenty of Hot Water and Bear
Meat for the Summer
B0arderS

| WIN. r. Anderson, the retired Sa-
lem saloon man, returned Sunday
from his outing at the Green River
Hot Springs. He had a good time,
but, as usual, there were too many
women there to suit him, and they
demanded more attention than he
could give them. He says the place
swarms with lean women and fat wo-
men, slim women and tall women,
fat women and scrawny women. Such
variety made it impossible to please
them all, and he gave it up early.
There was plenty of hot water and
cold water, but the hotel was up on
stills, and you had to go down kind
of fire escape ladder, and cross the
river to get at the water. Uncle
Bill took his youngest daughter along
to keep him company, and at first
Miss Maggie was very lonesome.
She didn't know any of the people,
and complained to her father about
having a dull time.
THAT amt the way to do at
summer resort. Butt right In any
where, and don't wait for introduc-
tions, and you'll have a good time.
Watch your father" and Bill sailed
into crowd of the Tacoma and Sc
attle society ladies', and they scat
tered in every direction. Maggie
got along better, and reports that
she had the time of her life.
Killed a Bear.
A farmer living near by COM !,
planned about bear raiding his
sheep. Several efforts were made to
capture bruin, but all without avail. |
until Mr.. Anderson, of Salem, ar
rived on the scene, and then the bear
iidnt last longer than lump of |
1utter in hot frying pan. He had
eaten so many sheep that his hair
lad turned to the finest Merino wool
md he was mutton fat. Bill SAYS he

Splitting Granite with Air.

The expansive force OF compressed
air is employed in very interesting
way by the North Carolina Granite
company. on slopng hillside, com.
posed Of granite which shows no bed
planes, but splits readily in any d.
rection when started, threeinch
bore is sunk about eight feet deep.
and the bottom is enlarged by ex.
ploding a hali.stick Of dynamite. A
small charge Of powder is fired in
this hole, which starts a horizontal
crack or cleavage, says the Youths
Companion. Charges increasing in
size are exploded until the cleavage
has extended over a radius Of % or
100 feet. Then pipe is cemented
into the bore, and the air Is forced
In, under pressure OF from so to
100 pounds The expansion OF the
air extends the cleavage until It
comes out on the surface on the slope
Of the hill A horizontal sheet of
granite several acres in extent may
thus be separated

fling You alls got a mighty big
wash dis week" The carter bring
ing out your box OF books-not
large box, either-and charging what
he pleases bitterly exclaims when he
finally lands il in your study: The
man what packed that box ouGhter
be made to handle H." Odd isn't It?
And perhaps there is no commoner
expression than You don't catch me
doing more'n I'm paid for" Boys or
men, in low positions or high-to their
employers they may not be actually
worthless; but assuredly they are
worth less, far less, than they might
be- Apparently hey have not learned
that in every case OF successful work
there is an employer that towers
above the employer, an inner con.
science that Is higher than the boss 90
Every man or boy who does anything
worth while, does more than he IS
paid for or ever will be paid for, in
cold dollars. However, It is well to
remember that conscience is a good
paymaster as well as a rigid taskmas.
