to what prodigious sums money at
compound interest will increase. A
penny so improved from the yea.

A COMPOSITE GENIUS.
No Seems to Have Read Biography tho
Wrong Way.

In reading the lives Of men who
played great part in life We are
often struck by the fact that those
heroic men were in many cases adj
dicted to certain vices. But it
would be we'll for young men to re-
member that the great ones OF the
earth succeeded not because of any
bad habits they may have had, bat
in spite of them. To get the great
est possible benefit, IRON reading
biography we should make an ef-
fort to emulate great men in their
earnestness and goodness and not
in their littlcneSs or badness There
is something unworthy to be found
in the lives of all men, human ma
ture being far from perfect. But
such unworthiness is not to be cop
led. The young man spoken of in
the following little story seems to
have read biography the wrong way:
He fingered near the managing
editors desk, waiting for an ap-
pointment on the regular staff.

low down easy.

"And you swear occasionally"

"And you write fearful scrawl."
"Like Horace Greeley"
"Well," said the manager, plung-
ing at a heap Of. manuscript, "any-
how we don't need you. You won't
do. Good morning"
The young man turned away sor-
rowfully. "1t's no sort of use," he
said. "a fellow combines in his
own brain and person the traits of
all the great men from Alexander
to Greeley and can't even get a
place on a newspaper. The world
is growing too fast for genius.

Russia's Vast Forests.

Very nearly four-tenths Of the
surface of Russia in Europe is COW
cred with woods and forests, ac-
cording to the Revue Economique
Internationale. In fact, the Rus
sian forests are so great in extent
that they almost equal the entire
united area of western Europe, in
cluding Austria-Hungary, Germany,
Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, France
and Spain. Among European coun-
tries, next to Russia, Austria-Hun-
gary is the richest in forests.

We are pleased TO puollsn 10
another column the preamble to a
petition for additional passenger
service from Lane to Florence.
This is a matter of great i'm
portance to the travelling public
generally, AMI it is to be hoped
that ..Kingstree's efforts will be
backed up by the intermediate
points between Lane and Florence,
the people interested along the
Zines of the Central railroad, and
the large number of commercial
travellers whose interests are much
affected by the proposed extra
train. Should the matter be prop
erly presented to the railroad ofici-
ais We feel confident that they will
grant the petition, but in case they
refuse there IS little doubt that the
Railroad commission would require
them TO give the relief desired.

His First Refusal.

A young gentleman who had not
familiarized himself with the forms
of polite correspondence and lacked
the good sense to discover the form
for himself found it necessary to re-
fuse an invitation. The Chicago

wrote:
"Mr. J. Henry Newton declines
with pleasure Mrs. Raymond's invi-
tation for the 21st and thanks her
extremely for having given him the
opportunity to say So"

Equal to the Occasion.

Joseph H. Choate, the famous
lawyer and diplomat, said at a law
yers' dinner:
eve lawyers couldn't do better
than resolve to be gentler in our
cross examinations. Rudeness in
cross examination never, never
pays. This is a truth that I once
saw proved in a damage suit. In
this suit a cross examining lawyer
shouted at a witness in overalls:
"'You, there, in the overalls!

"Iess than you are,' the witness
retorted, 'or you'd be in oyeralls

FINDS FOX TERRIER
AFTER A LONG SEARCH
Real Estate Man Loses Pet and SPENDS
Night and Day Looking
for Him Until
Found

T. M. Morris, a Boyle Heights real
estate dealer has a fox terrier which he
has raised from pup and OF winch ne
Is very fond, but he has solemnly made
. VOW never to take any more dogs to
raise.
The dog has a habit of accompanying
Mr.. Morris when he drives out to show a
prospective customer good buy or rent
al property and last Friday the dog
jumped in the buggy as usual when MT.
Morris took an Interested man TO looh
at a house.
The deal was made. There was goou
commission in the transaction ana MT:
Morris had forgotten all about Togo,
the fox terrier. When he reached nome,
however, he missed him and instantly
suspected someone had stolen him. He
teIephoned the police, but they had no
lost dog locked up. He telephoned the
city pound but Togo wasn't there He
Jumped into his buggy and went over
the route they had taken during the
ride to and from the house, but no FOX
terrier could be found.
He gave up his sleep for the night and
hunted for the dog. He gave up business
all the next day and hunted for the dog.
He did everything he could think or
and all the neighbors could suggest when
finally he had a brilliant bunch. He
returned to the house he had visited the
previous day and heard sounds that left
no doubt where Togo was. He had
locked him in the house when leaving
Togo was forgiving and those who wit
messed it say the scene when the two
were reunited was most affecting.
