Are You q 6eaaar7

All the beggars are not holding out
a hand to passersby in the street. You
probably know the man who is ever
whining for help. II a farmer. he
thinks his neighbors should help him
get in his grain or do his blowing.
II in business. he Is always trying TO
borrow or wanting some one to boost
him or drum up customers. He never
seems to think OF relying on his own
efforts. There is a well known fable
about the larks in a grainfield. AS
long as the farmer depended on his
neighborS and relations to come and
cut his grain the larks felt perfectly
safe. When the man determined to
cut the grain himself the larks knew
it was time TO seek safety elsewhere.
There are times when every one
needs help. but help should be asked
only when one has made every posi-
BILE effort for himself.
Too much help given a man weakens
his character.-Milwauke Journal.

Captain Raabe was a man whose

~. he was a tall man. belonging to
the middle aged trooper type. With
military qualities OF the highest kind
he had a singular bearing. a savage
sort OF misanthropy and a cynical

A Clever Acrobat.

A diverting anecdote is told In San
mails of the Liverpool Stage" Of an
unrehearsed episode that occurred at
the Hop. a cheap but popular place Of
entertainment A troupe Of acrobats
were engaged. and one Of their num-
Der gave a ''single turn" in which be

Vultur. and R.ttl.r

An odd battle between a California
vulture and a rattlesnake was wit
messed In the COcOpah mountains Of
Lower California. II was in the early
morning. The big bird had seized thu
snake behind the head and was strug.
Cling upward with its writing. deadly
burden. The snakes captor appeared
aware that its victim was dangerous.
The burden was heavy. as the reptile
was nearly Eve feet long.
The grip Of the bird on the snakes
body was not OF the best. The snake
seemed to be squirning from its cap
tors talons. at least su&eiently to en-
able II 10 strike. Its triangular head
was seen to recoIl and dart at the
mass OF feathers.
II did this once or twice. and then
with a shrek the yulture dropped its
prey. The bird was probably 500 feet
or so above the observers. The as
tonished men were then treated to
spectacle seldom seen. Few birds but
a vulture could accomplish such a feat
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches It dropped earth
ward like a shot. and like a shot the
bird dropped after it. catching II in
midair with a grip that caused death
At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle, and the vulture scared away to a
mountain peak to devour its hard
earned meal.

A PhiIosophsr,. Fable.

Arthur AuIl Is responsible for this
one:
~Folly. Genius and Common Sense
once went walking and came to q
stream. Genius. having his head IN
the clouds. naturally started TO wade
across. paying no attention to the
depth. The waters soon went over his
head. and be was drowned. Common
Sense hunted for a safe way to get
across. and finally be found a foot log.
As he got out about the center Of the
stream the log swayed. and he fell into
the water and sank TO rise no more.
Folly stopped at the bank Of the
stream to amuse himself By throwing
pebbles into the water and watching
the waves. he sat upon the moist,
cold bank until he caught a cold which
developed into pneumonia. Of which
be soon died. MoraL--It doesn't make
much difference, after all. whether

described by Warren Lee Goss in his
article. Campaigning to No Purpose"
