PRAISES PAUL GILMORE,

In AT Yale" as seen by large and
enthusiastic audiences at the Capital
theater yesterday afternoon and last
night, Paul Gilmore has the best vehi-
Gle he has yet had. 1t has all the
elements of what the editor men
call human interest story
says the Vicksburg Herald. 1t holds
up to our admiration all that is good,
manly and truly American in our col
lege boys. The public is prone to Judge
the collegian by those occasional ebulli-
lions of the few which bring about un-
enviable publicity and so reflect dis
credit on the body. The funny papers

o'clock yesterday was still at Lamar
at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon.
There are washOuts on both sides of

of the embankment four miles this
side Of Lamar and men were working
all night to protect the rest Of the

Work 81 Hours a Dav,

in the Sahara desert" said the sailor
You work Fl hours a day there That's
too long, amt it?
ITS the fashionable fad to winte,
in the Sahara, and last January, us
lynn to in Philippeville for a cargo OF
dates, 1 bought a third-class ticket to
Biskra, and pushed from there to TOug-
COURT with a camel caravan.
"It was fine. The sun shone, the air
was like wine, the sand was as white
as salt. We seen mira es-phantom
cities, with white domes and minarets,
palm gardens, and girls walAin' on the
flat roofs of the white houses, lookin'
at you with dark, wistful eyes.
1--WE had a cargo of beer for the
French soldiers in Touggourt Ghardaia,
Ourgla and the neighborin' towns.
But what I wanted to speak about
was the hours of the caravaneers.
Them poor fellers worked p hours a
day. One stop of three hours was all
they took, and part of that time had to
be spent in feeding and groomin' the
camelS.
"Camels can get along, it seems, with
three hours rest day, but men! Them
caravaneers of Ourn had little donks,
the size of a Newfoundland dog to
ride on, and they'd lie on their stom-
achs across donk's back, head hang
in down on one side, feet on the other,
and in that position they could sleep
hour after hour whilst the donks
trudged on in the sunshine through the
white sand"

Groceries of all kinds are plentiful.
Walla Walla is better off than most
places in this respect for the reason
that it is supply point and the whole

Comfort for Missy.

Not long ago young lady of Macon,
Ca, visited the house of her fiance in
New Orleans. On her return home, an
old colored woman, long in the service
of the family, and consequently privi-
legged to put the question, asked:
Honey, when is you goin' to git
married?"
Indeed, can't say auntie. Perhaps
l shall never marry.

David Alison, 63, weary of stride and

delivered himself of the above declar-
alton. He wanted to go to the infirm-

Alison said he would turn himself over

Tuned Lightning Opens Up Fas.
cinating Fields
DANISH INVENTOR SPRINGS. LAT.
EST WONDER ON THE scIEN.
TIFIC WORLD.

Fleet ocean liners without steam or
any other visible means of generating
power, airships furnished with wire
less energy, and telephones and tel
legraph stations connected by wireless
ether waves only, are among the pro-
jected products of tuned lightning"
a marvellous new species Of energy.
Poulsen, the Danish inventor, known
as the Edison of Europe, predicts that
tuned lightning will make wireless
lighting, transatlantic telephOning and
telegraphy commercially possible very
soon. Wireless ocean liners and air
ships will follow in due course.
At a remarkable demonstration in
London lately, before Prof. Silvanus
Thompson, ST William Preece and
other distinguished scientists, Poulsen
succeeded in lighting a series of arc
lamps by means Of his new and mar
vellous energy, which first passed
through his own body. BY means also
of his wonderful electric waves sent
into the atmosphere he fused a piece
Of copper suspended in midair without
contact with wires or conductor of any
kind. .f-t'.
The lighting of electric lamps with
out wires by energy passing through
the uman body opens up wonder.
full vista of scientific accomplishment.
BY means of properly installed gen.
Grating stations Paulsen will soon be
able to affect electric lighting at great
distances; and this absolutely without
wires.
From his Danish generating station
near Copenhagen he is today sending
most powerful charges of what is
practically nothing but raw tuned
long distances.
Modern warfare will undergo COM
plete revolution when the POulsen
generating stations come into working
order If he can light a town by wire
less energy conveyed through the air
alone, it will be simple matter to ex-
plode at long range an enemy's mines.
or even burn up a ship and armies.
Owing to these startling possibilities
the British war Office through it's most
skilled electricians and scientists is
manifesting considerable interest in
POulsens experiments. Up to the pre-
sent however, the POulsen power is
only utilized for improvement and con-
venience: not for destruction. Lord
Armstrong, the famous cannon manu-
facturer, one of the wealthiest men in
England, has evinced his faith in the
new energy by undertaking to finance
Poulsen to an almost unlimited amount.
A big company has just been formed
with Lord Armstrong as chairman, and
it is anticipated that it will soon
be possible to send wireless messages
across the Atlantic as rapidly and as
cheaply as ordinary kilograms.
But this is not all. Wireless trans
telephones will be installed
before very long; while wireless cleo
trio lighting has passed the experiment
tai stage.
1t will even be possible-and that
perhaps before the end of two years
to build ships that will receive their
motor power from shore stations This
will result in immense saving of
space, for the great amount of room at
present taken up by the bunkers and
machinery Of a modern liner will be
available for passengers and freight.

the home of ]. D. Horton from destruc-

persons in this city this morning. Geo.
Mikes, a son-in-law of Mr.. Horton,
was awakened by the crying of his
year old child to find his room filled
with flame and smoke. He hastily
aroused the other occupants of the
houes, eight in number, all of whom
would probably have been suffocated
in a short time The fire department
was called out and the flames were
extinguished with small damage.

THE HOUSEHOLD

make everybody with whom we come
IN contact little better for the con-
hope, goodwill, to scatter flowers
as we go along, to enjoy each day, to
live the present to it's utmost and not
to wait for tomorrow before we begin
to enjoy this it is what opens wide the
door to happiness.
Happiness is question Of heart and
not money. It is mind and heart and
not things that make the JOY OF living.
i know children who are so poor
that they have never known such things
as toys, as most children have them,
and yet some Of these children are as
happy as lark. Put them on a street
or in garnet bare Of toys, and they
will find plenty Of things with which
to play and to amuse themselves
These children sometimes make me
ashamed of the fact that [ have not
found this same secret of enjoyment in
an education or an achievement They
often make me feel that they have re-
tanned something which [ have lost.
[ know people, in middle life, who
have not had a thousand dollars, in
property Or money, in the world, and
yet they have managed to retain the
secret of gladness and JOY. They
know how to be happy. They are in
fnrtely happier than some rich people
who do not look to mind but to things
for their happiness.
If there is a pitiable object in the
world, it is the person who has sorr-

How the Note Was Paid.

Out in Bedford County the other day
Farmer Wilkins got into deep trouble
about mortgage that the county bank
held on his farm The trouble was. he
could not meet one OF the notes for two
hundred dollars, and the bank told him
it would have to close him ont. The
officers agreed however, to give him
till the next day to settle it. He was a
farmer, and husband wise in his own
conceit, who rarely told his better half
OF his troubles. But on this occasion,
when he went home, he unbosomcd
himself, and told her all about his
financial straits, and the trouble then
hanging over him and their home.
'Why, Ralph exclaimed his wife,
YOU ought to have told me all this be-
fore now" He said nothing but look
ed little silly, while the good woman
opened an old trunk and took from it a
good sized shot bag She emptiei the
contents on the dinilg-room table be-
fore her astonished husbands eyes.
There was a great rattle and clinking
as the pile settled down. Then she
fell to counting the dimes, nickles AMI
quarters.
1.-TWO hundred and thirty-six dollars
and four CENTS she said, promptly.
''WIere did you get it, Nellie ?"
gasped the husband
Saved it out of my butter, eggs and
chicken money during the last two
years Take it to the bank tomorr ow
and pay that note
There are others. Many Of them
who think the little things on the
farm don't count much, while some
farmers even belittle themselves with
the thought that they count but one
in organizing, and SO won't be missed
This is a great mistake.

Sunshine.

The power of sunny soul-a man
who carries sunshine in his very pres
ence, to transform the most trying
situation in life, to light up the way
even in the darkest gloom-is beyond
all power to compute.
The world loves the sunny soul,
the man who carries his holidays in
his very eye; whose face is pleasure
ground. The magic power Of the sun
shine man to transform the most try
ing situation in life is worth more
than fortune in money. There is a
great medicinal value, also, in good
cheer. A patient has a better chance
of regaining his lost health if he is
cheerful and optimistic than he has
if he dwells on his pain.
What wonderful thing it is to be
able to carry ones sunshine with one,
to cast a glow of brightness and JOY
upon every condition of life! The
power to transmute gloom into glad
ness, the mirth7provoking faculty, is
worth everything to the youths who
are starting out to make their way in
the world. They pass through life
with much less friction; they carry a
talisman that will make them well
come wherever they go.
The determination to be kind and
helpful to every one, to be cheerful
and optimistic no matter what comes
to us, is one of the noblest of ambi-
tons. The persistent effort to give
every one lift, whenever possible, to
tact, to radiate| sunshine, cheer,
