sad Tale Of Deceit from the Blue
Grass Country.


Grass Country.
Old man Wowton, the meanest citi.
zen In all the Blue Grass country,
drove up to the market place in Lex
ington, where an army Of negroes stood
about or lay basisins in the early
morning sun waiting for some man to
hire them. The old man was so stingy
that he usually had great difficulty in
engaging negroes to do extra work on
ms farm, but this time he struck a
bargain with big Bill Saunders and
the half-dozen powerful but lazy
blacks who followed at his heels. All
the others were greatly surprised to
see this gang ambling out on the big
road toward Mr.. Wowtons place. Next
morning they were mystifed to see
big Bill and his cronies again in the
market place.
"Whadia doin' hyuh, Bill?" asked
Hannibal Harrison Tyler.
'LOOkin' TO wuk," Bill replied, sad
ly.

Turtle Tortoise Shell.

Most of the tortoise shell of com
merce is obtained from the hawks
bill turtle, which is taken chiefly in
the Caribbean Sea. Turtles caught in
these waters vary in size from / TO
Az feet long, with maximum weight
of $50 pounds, and the average weight
of she'll obtained from each is from
to 7 pounds. The commercial value
of tortoise shell depends upon the
thickness and size of the plates rather
than upon the brilliancy of the colors
The price of shell in this market fluc
tuates from 50 to So in gold per
pound. AS the best prices are OBJ
tanned in England, the largest amount
of the shell shipped from these parts
goes to that country. The San Bla'
Indians, however. trade a larg,
amount of shell to eoasting schooners
which is partly carried to the States
and partly brought to Colon.

that her attention is SO bound up with
the expression Of her own charm that
It stops with that. And the honey
woman who eompetes with her has
still more absorbing problem. The
foolish and disrespectful customs of
courtesy which men practice toward
women are also product of woman's
dress, and tend to keep her helpless

involved in lacing, high heels, undivid.
ed skirts. and other impedimenta OF
women has a certain charm in the
eyes Of man. Their helpfulness shows

his protective and masterful instincts.

ironically:

That sileneed his assistant. But the

There is an old saying to(the effect
that lightning never strikes twice in the
same place, and there are a good many
persons who believe this to be true, al
though it has often been proved to be O
fallacy. ....
According to an Associated Press dis
patch published in the Miner yesterday
morning. it would seem that lightning
struck four times in the same place at
American Fork, Utah. with fatal re-
suits.
This calls to mind the fact that the
tower upon the Butte library was struck
twice, although an interval of several
years interviewed between the two visi-
tations Of the thunderbolt
Probably this reference to lightning
never striking twice in the same place is
"a figure of speech, intended to convey
the same thought that it conveyed in the
statement that opportunity knocks only
once ut every mans door,
This last expression is not true, as
the successful lives of nearly all great
men show. 3.
This would be rather poor world if
every man in it only had one chance.
Instead of that, we know that every
man has innumerable opportunities to
make something out of himself, and it
often happens that success is built upon
q foundation of previous failures
The spider that Bruce watched made
his failures to climb his silken web, but
at last was successful.
Failure acts differently upon differ
ent men.
To some it simply urges on to greater
effort, while the craven few it brushes.
The rightly constituted individual
always learns from his mistakes and
avoids them in the future, and, in a
way, his setbacks are an education of
great value.
Lightning can and does strike more
than once in the same place and oppor-
tunity is seldom satisfied with one Wis

Redi'S Experiment

It was fixed belief of the ancients
that many living creatures could come
into existence in a spontaneous fashion,
to which allusion has often been made.
The true b4:sinning of the germ theory
arose out of ludicrously simple
observation made by Redi. Florentine
physician, about the middle of the
seventeenth century. He debated with
his confreres in Florence the question
of the origin of the maggots appearing
in decomposing meat. The old view
held, of course, that the maggots were
bred within dead and putrefying sub
stances. Redi, taking piece of meat,
covered the mouth Of the Jar in which
it was contained with piece of fine
gauze. He beheld the flesh flies
attracted by the smell of the decaying
meat, coming to deposit their eggs,
after the manner of their kind. in the
decomposing substance. The gauze,
however, kept them from effecting this
natural object, with the result that the
eggs were laid on the surface of the
gauze and the maggots there Matched
out, while the decay of the meat went
OH uninterrnptedly without q single
maggot appearing in it's substance.
On this childisely simple experiment
the great fabric of the germ theory of
today was founded, for if the law of
universal parentage applied to the case
of maggots and meat it was clear,
argued Redi. that it must apply univer-
sally. Subsequent experimentation
proved the words to be true, and so to-
day, when our attention is focused upon
germs or microbes SO minute that we
might accommodate many hundreds of
thousands of them on the surface of q
postage stamp, we again come face to
face with Rodi's first principle that
each germ could only have sprung from
Il preceding and parental organism.
