A Dangerous Roll.

X. Engels, an Oakland, Cal, boiler
maker, met with an experience which
nearly cost him his life, while at work
inside 2S-inch water pipe. The line
Of pipe ran along steep hillside and
was held in position by wooden sup
ports. While Engel was riveting two
sections together the supports gave
way and the section in which he was
working started down the hill at a ter
riAo speed. 1t rolled several hundred
feet and finally dropped into a ditch in
which stream of water was running.
Engels' companion supposed. of course.
that he had been killed. but rushed to
the ditch. The inpiped man was
taken out alive, but seriously cut and
bruised and almost drowned Detroit

simple Remedy for Loeklsw.

Cal Johnson, an old-time printer
was in the city recently and claims to
have simple and effective cure for
lockiaw. one that never fails. Re
membering his boyhood days when the
rusty nail was always lying in wait
for the barefoot boy and serving as a
menace to all who attempted to pass
the summer months without shoes on
their feet, Mr.. Johnson thinks that his
advice may be OF some use to the ia
theirs and mothers who still have bare
foot boys.
The remedy is to smoke the wound
caused by the rusty nail or other i'm
plement of torture to the small boy,
with woolen cloth. Twenty minutes
with this kind of treatment, it is said,
will take out the worst case of in
fiammatson and cause a speedy heal
ing Of the wound without disagreeable

DEGREES THE PERPETUAL GRIN
Writer Taxes Issue with Man Whe
Says Keep s-smilins."

A faFOrite motto with many people
in these latter days, when the whole
some gospel Of cheerfulness is being
preached so extensively, Is. Keep a.
smiling" It is very good motto
within limitations. In so far as its
adoption as a rule Of conduct prevents
the wearing Of q lugubrious counte-
nance when no overwhelming grief or
calamity is being endured or is i'm
pending, IN SO far as il overcomes the
tendency TO look on the dark side and
anticipate evil, in 80 far as it enables
one to look for the best in all situa-
tions and to keep up his courage when
troubles threaten-in all these re-
spects It is a maxim worthy OF com
mendation.
But it should not be Interpreted too
literally; its spirit rather than its let
ter should be observed. It's spirit
means a persistent hopefulness. a re
fusal to be cast down by discouraging
or unfavorable circumstances, a sturdy
defiance Of adverse fate. Its literal
observance may include these things.
but IL means also perpetual grin, and
a perpetual grin leads to thoughts Of
crime on the part OF beholders. No
one becomes 50 irritating or has such
a maddening effect upon sensitive as
sociates as the man or woman who
wears the smile that never comes
