Wonders Of the Wireless.

The government at Washington
is preparing to establish at the ma
tional capital a high power wire
less station, which is to be the be-
ginning of a system whereby the
Navy, War and State Depart
ments may communicate with all
the world. OF course, it is a
simple matter at this time for
Washington to reach most of the
earth's cities by cable and tele.
graph, but under the planned
method the Secretary of the Navy
will be able TO communicate with
every ship of his department.
This means that Washington,
talking by wireless to San Fran,
cisco, will have small difficulty in
getting a message to any part of
the Pacific Ocean. Stations will
be erected at Honolulu, Guam,
Samoa and IN the Philippines,
from one of which places any
ship may be signaled.
All of this sounds very mar
velous, but its realizatian is very
close at hand. Within a few
years wireless telegraphy will
be as commonly effective as cleo
trio illumination is today St.
Louis Times.

Have Respect for the Aged.

The young man cannot do a
better thing than show courtesy
and respect to the aged. The
one whose head is white with the
SHOWS Of many winters, the one
whose body is SCARED with the
arrows Of many battles, the one
who has encountered the winds,
the SHOWS, the sleet and the rains
for many years, the one who has
had his share of sorrow as well
as his protion Of JOY, he needs
your kind word and your manly
act and deed. When 1 was young
my father took me by the hand
and led me in order that my feet
might not slip and my body fall.
He led me across the meadows TO
the old country church, down the
road to grandfather's house and
how often I wished that 1 we're a
man. In after years, sweet years
to me they are, he came to my
home and instead of father TAX
ing my hand and leading me as
he once did, l walked by his side,
leading him in his grand old age.
Of manhood. The plow-share
had furrowed his cheek, his feet
were slippery; they are now at
rest. Young man tip your hat to
the aged, get out of your way to
keep their feet from slipping,
extend to them an open hand, an
open heart. Columbia Herald.

Referring to the impossibility
of conducting a newspaper which
would be satisfactory to every

Journal says:
Running a newspaper is just
like running a hotel, only differ
ent. When a man goes into a
hotel and finds something on
the table that does not suit him,
he does not raise hades with the
landlord and tell him TO stop his
hotel. Well, hardly. He sets
that dish aside and wades into
many dishes that suit him. 1t
is different with some newspaper
readers. They find an article
that does not snit them exactly

other readers, make a grand

The fire Department.

The merchants made up a
purse of 500. and gave to the
fire department for their heroic
work at the Royce fire recently.
This is the right spirit and was
deserved. The boys volunteer
TO do the work and in this case
spent a great deal of time with
the fire even after the danger
was over. For several days
flames would break out in the
debris and had to be watched.
The fire department should be
encouraged in every way pos
sible.

sleep, however. Just try lying on

You will find the amount Of repose
you get is double what you derive
from them when placed in the ordinary
fashion, which really leaves nothing
for the base of the neck to rest upon.
