HOW DID YOU nIEo.


Did you tackle that trouble that came
your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful
Or hide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh troubles ton or a troubles an
ounce
Or trouble is what you make 1t.
And 1t isn't the fact that you're hurt that
counts,
But only how did you take It?
You are beaten to earth? Well. we'll
what's that?
Come up with smiling face.
It's nothing against you TO fall down fat
But to lie thcre-that's Disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why. the high
or you bounce.
Be proud of your baclSened eye.
It isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts:
It's how Gid you fight and why?
And though you be dcne tc the death
what then?
If you battlcd the best you could.
If you played your part in the world OF
men,
Why. the critic will call 1t good
Death comes with q crawl or comes with
pounce.
And, whether he's slow or spry
It isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts.
But only how did you die?

HOT TIMES IN ANDERSON.
Popcorn Popped by the Excessive
Heat While on Stalk in Field.

Manager F. w. Andrews, of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
has left at this office an ear of pop
corn on which there are dozen or
more grains which have been popped
on the stalk during the excessive heat
of the past, few days. There are
several ears of the corn in his field
which show the popped grains, and
much interest mas been manifested
by those who nave seen it.
1t has often been said by those
who suffered most from heat that II
sometimes get hot enough to COOK an
egg in the sand, but less heat is
necessary for this than for, the pop
ping of corn, and it is doubtful II
those who make such assertions
themselves believe that they are
founded on truth. There is no one
who can fully explain why the corn
is popped, and those who see II are
puzzled -, .
The best explanation possibly IS
given by Mr.. Andrews himself VINO
saws he believes, the popping or the
corn was brought about by steam'
In a number of the ears the COD eA-
tends out of the shuck and on the
end there are fully matured grains
showing the corn to be of a very
hardy variety. Mr.. Andrews says IT.
is his opinion that water has gone
down into the shuck through the open
end. and that the steam formed pE
the excessive heat has brought apo''
the change in the corn.-AndersoH

AWES ARMY MEN
TESTS SHOW POSSIBILITIES OF
SHOOTING WITHOUT NOISE.
Innudible at $50 Feet Appliance At
tached to Service Rifle Meets Sue
cessfuny Every Trial.

At Springfield, Mass, in the pre-
sence Of a committee of United
States Army officers, Hiram Percy
Maxim, the veteran inventor. Mon
Iday demonstrated beyond all doubt
that the noisless gun which he has
contrived is success. He proved
during the tests held both in the
Armory and in the fields near North
Wilbraham that his new gun can be
fired within one hundred feet of a
person without detection by him.
To make clear to the minds of the
officers the tremendous revolution
which this gun would cause in war
fare, Maxim utilized little cricket
which was found in bush. The Of
icers could hear the cricket chirp
at a distance of fifty yards. And
they heard it chirp even when the
Maxim gun was being fired.
Those present at the test, which
was the official Government one, were
Mr.. Maxim, Major Morton, Captain
Allen, Lieutenant Meals. Henry
Southey, city engineer of Hartford.
Conn. and six enlisted men.
The party went to the Armory,
where tests for penetration, noise
lessness and accuracy were conduct
ed. One of the soldiers, crackshot
with the rifle, fired the regular army
gun several times, the explosions
ringing out above the noises Of the
factory where Uncle Sam makes
small arms. Then Maxim adjusted
AIS 'noise-killer" to the weapon.
The sharpshooter took aim at
target far down the yard and pulled
the trigger. From the white plate,
more than hundred yards away,
there came a sharp, metallic ring.
The bullet had ploughed into the
steel-but not sound excepting
soft one, as Of fingers swapping,
came from the gun.
Then, slowly, a slight Kissing, SO
slight as to be hardly audible, was
heard, and the officers looked at one
another in bewilderment. The sold
ier who did the firing looked at the
weapon in his hands and held it from
him an. instant, then laughed in.
childish way.
The Party adjourned to the fields.
Forty regulation cartridges were
given to the marksman. The officers
posted themselves 1000 yards from
where the sharpshooter stood, and
he was given the word to fire. Me
thodically he sped bullet after bull
let into distant target, each time
the service gun emitting roar that
was audible 5000 feet away. in the
village.
After Maxim adjusted the noise
killer" the soldier fired again, and
eight times he hit the target All
the time the officers were coming
closer to him. They could hear the
steel proiecsle smash against the
target, but nothing else. Finally,
when within $50 feet of the soldier,
they heard faint sound. 1t was the
hammer of the gun striking the
cartridge. But they heard nothing
more. nor did they see either smoke
or fire coming from the weapon.
Not contented, Maxim invited the
experts to the lake near North Will
hraham. One of the soldiers was
posted across the water, flve nun
dred wards distant A target was
erected near a little booth he occu-
pied. Eight times he heard the steel
iacketed bullet plunge into and nat
ten on the disc. but he heard no other
sound, although the place is wilder

Government from the losses accruine
from the abolition. He only expressed
his own feelings and what he believ-
