Disregarded Warning.

Being new corners, they were instructed to follow the car tracks closely in order not to fall into the prospect holes with which the hillside was honeycombed. They walked along the track for distance, but seeing light nearby, skiller left his companion to make short cut to

Well Known Conductor Dead.

s. R. Comfort, for the past three years or more the conductor on the Nacozari passenger train, died at l:40 o clock Sunday afternoon at Nacozari, the result of stroke of apoplexy. He died in a very short time after he had been seized. The body was taken to Douglas on special train, and sent to Fl Paso for interment. The death of Mr. Comfort came to his family and his many friends as a great and unex. pected shock. Apparently he was in his usual good health up to the time he was stricken, no premonition or indi- cation of the fatal attack being noted. He was stricken down at the home of his spn-in law, Gerald P. Windsor.

Bearing Others, Rurdsn..

This Is the paradox of experience that the way to bear ones burdens is to add to them the bearing of some one else's. The way out of your own trial Is by entering into the trials of others. The introspective and self ab- sorbed sorrow grows heavier the lon ger you watch it, and the self forget. ting service of another lightens the burden which you yourself have to bear. The more you shirk the more you have to bear. The more you add of others responsibilities the more you substract from your own.-Pro- lessor F. c. Peabody. Harvard Uni versity.

ly prints picture and sketch OF
Governor Swanson, of Virginia, to-
gether with a review of accomplish
ments under his administration.
We reprint brief extract from the
article concerning Governor Swan
sons early ambitions and Efforts
which may well encourage strug-
Cling young men of today to live
decently, study hard and rigorous
ly adhere to the basic principles OF
honorable endeaver and success.
We quote:
"While tilling the ground he
read the story of Warren Hastings,
whose successful efforts in winning
money and fame under the burn
ing suns of India filled youngSwan-
sons brain with dreams OF honor
and distinction, and the very obsta-
cles in his way served to stimulate
his ambition. He put his spare
time on his books; and at the age
of sixteen undertook to teach school;
and after two years saved enough
money to pay his way for two ses-.
sions at the Virginia Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Blacks
burg. He had then to 60 to work
again and clerked in grocery store
at Danville two years, and while so
engaged four prominent men OF
that city, one a leading lawyer,
and the other three worthy tobac-
co manufacturers seeing that there
was something in the young man,
a future before him with the as
sistance of helping hand, went to
him, and voluntarily offered to
lend the requisite money to COM
plete his education and equip him
for the practice of law. After
much hesitation he accepted the Of
fer, and gave the gentlemen his In
dividual notes for the amounts adj
vanced by them, respectively, de-
clining their generous offer to make
it free gift. With this money he
went for three years to Randolph
Macon College, taking the degreeof
A. B., the Sutherlin medal for ora
tory, and the debater's medal in
the Washington Literary Society.
While at this college he edited the
Hanover and Caroline News, the
organ of the Democratic party for
those counties, and thus at that
early period actively esroused the
principles and the practical work
of the party to which he has given
life long loyalty and devotion.
"In 1886 he attended the Uni
versity of Virginia, and took the
degree of bachelor of law. accom-
plishing in one year the two years
course at that famous institution.
On his return home he entered up
on the practice of his profession at
Chatham, Pittsylvania county, and
in two years his business enabled
him to return every dollar of the
money lent him by his generous
benefactors."

INTERESTS SHIPPERS OF CATTLE

Judge Jeter c. Pritchard, as an
ossociate of the United States cir
cult court of appeals, rendered in
opinion reversing Judge Edmund
Waddill, Jr., of the United States
circuit court at Norfolk in the IA
nous Norfolk calf case. Judge
Pritchard's ruling in that railroads
are responsible for the actions OF
their employees in questions regard
ing violations of the law regulating
the shipment of cattle.
The case has been in the courts
more than two years and grew out
of the shipment of three calves
from Autlander, N. c., in April,
1900. to Norfolk. The alleged
complaint was that the animals
were kept confined for more than
twenty-eight hours, in violation OF
the law, and were not furnished
with food or drink. Afterthe COM
plant was made the conductor OF
the train was discharged.
The charge was that the three
calves were kept in a car more
than fifty hours and that whtn
they arrived at Norfolk, owing to
neglect on the part of the otf1cIals,
they were in such condition as not
to be fit for delivery.
The case comes under what is
known in the statutes as the
"twenty-eight hour live stock law"
which provides a penalty Of $1CO
in each case where the live stock Is
kept in a car without food or wa
ter beyond the time stated.
