KEEPING HIS BALANCE.
A Story With Moral That 10 Told
Amonq the Tartars.

There is a story told among the Tar
tars which has moral for the civil
lized men Of the present day. 1t is to
this effect: Robo, cousin of the great
mogul. was condemned to death for
participation In rebellion. The most
skillful swordsman In the empire was
provided for the execution, and the
great mogul and his court were pres
ent as spectators.
The thin, keen blade flashed in the
sunlight ard descended upon the bare
neck of Robo, who stood upright to re-
ceive the stroke.
The executioner's work was SO deft-
ly done that, though the head was sew
cred, not vital organ was disturbed.
Robo remained standing.
what, Robo, art thou not behead-
ed?" exclaimed the great mogul.
MY lord, ] am" replied Robo, "but
as long as 1 keep my balance right my
head viii not fall Off"
The great mogul was placated. A
band was put ON Robo's neck, and be
recovered. He afterward became a
loyal subject and was made cashier OF
the empire because, as the great mogul
remarked:
"Eie knows that II he keeps his bal.
ance right his head will not come on
Exchange.

Our business men ought to break
away from trade exactions long before
they do-ought to do 50 as aamatter Of
volition and ethical Judgment rather
than Of physical necessity. They ought
to get and give more enjoyment In life.
They ought to do less for self and more
for others. They ought to live more In
books and more in the open and less
, ut their desks and realize better health
and longer lives as IA result. More and
more culture In all it's forms is exer-
cislng growing influence, which must
manifest itself In lessened effort along
the lines OF money getting and the de-

business men TO the pursuits which

Middleboro, Mass, Aug. 14.-Today'
Boston will be besieged by an armed

the southern coast of Massachusetts,
the hostile force will make every ef.

New England.
The hope OF the city in the matter
of defense and security must lie with
Brigadier General william A. Pew,
Jr., who has been designated by Gov
ernor Draper to command the entire
force OF Massachusetts troops.
DESPITE the fact that In the coming
bloodless war the enemy in fighting
strength and numbers will be nearly
40 per cent stronger, General Pew
has no fear that Boston will be cap
tured." Major General Tasker II.
Bliss will command the invading
force
Both generals will follow closely
the regular rules Of warfare. The
automobile is to play an important
part in the maneuvers, and as the
enemy, or the army of the Red,
will be much stronger In this respect
than the defending blue" force, Gen
eral Pew must use his wits to com
bat their effectiveness. One plan he
will adopt Ia unique. BY his orders
Captain Charles s. Clark, quartermas
ter of the Eighth infantry, has Sc
cured a large barrel OF giant tacks
two inches in diameter across the
head and the same length in the
shank. These are to be distributed
over the sandy roads of Plymouth
and Bristol cpunties, which may be
used by the RED" army. A high OF
| ficer of General Pew's official family
| gives information of one of the legit
innate military plans which may b'
/ followed. IL Is one always favored

l Pew should win success, II woult

land it's main force on the shores o
Buzzard's bay and knowing that !
will march toward Boston, It will b,
the plan to let the Red" army pro
ceed unmolested except for som
skirmish work to bait the enemy. A
| the logical time General Pew will
rush his main body of troops dow
the south bank of Taunton river, pos
sibly as far as Dighton, and throw
all his strength of arms on the enc
my's base and attempt to captur
that.
BY the acknowledged rule of wa
an army can not subsist without
base, and this would mean that Ger
eral Bliss must about face" and al
tempt to recapture his base, at tn

is also probable that General Pe'
would endeavor to smash the rea

Float a Mssnetized Sewing Needle In
Bowl Of Water.

II thoroughly dry and clean sewing

Of water in basin the needle will float
In spite of the high density of steel
seven or eight times that OF water.
On close inspection it is found that the
surface Of the water is depressed under

slightly indented by the weight Of the

This property of liquids Of Offering
a certain resistance to a force exerted
upon their surface is termed surface

OF surface tension varies from one
liquid to another. 1t is greatest in the
case Of mercury. The cause OF the
phenomenon must probably be looked
for in the attraction Of the liquid MOLE

A sewing needle thus floating upon

He Fearful Punishment by Primitive
MsxIosn Tribsi

Msxlcsn Tribsi
Speaking Of primitive law among
the Mexican indians brings to mind a
curious case that was toll me some
years ago in tie state Of Onxaca by an
old Zapoteca chief who had become a
convert to Christianity.
He said that a. long while ago an
American botanist was travelpg
through the mountains Of Oaxnca
studying the rare and beautifuf dora
of that region. He had with him a
mozo from another part of the coun-
try.
He carried several gold pieces sewed
In the lining OF his jacket The mozo
became aware of that fact. and one
day when the botanist got down ON his
knees to drink at little spring the
rnozo cut his head off with a machete.
took the gold pieces and fed to the
higher sierras.
Not long after the body was found
by some Zapoteca Indians who had
seen the botanist In former days
studying the flowers and plants near
their village. They knew that he was
a harmless and good man because he
loved flowers. All Mexican, Indians
love flowers. so they took the body to
| the chief and told him what they had
seen and found. "Whatw he said
"Shall the kind stranger with the
white face who loved flowers and
sought not our goods nor insulted our
| women come to such dogs death
among us aud not be avengedT
He then dispatched four swift In
dian runners In different directions
with orders not to return without the
murderer. After weeks time they
returned bearing the mulefactor bound
In their midst. A council of old mel
was called. and the case was exam
ined. The guilt of the mozo was prov
ed, as he still had with him the strang'
pieces of gold. ta'
Then the old chief gave the sen
