A lesson that should have a power
full effect may be read in the story
that is told of Engineer Bush, of
the Southern railway, whose train
was wrecked near Bristol, Va. Bush
was pinned under the engine, but was
finally extricated, suffering from NOR
tai injuries. When the passengers
tried to survive his waning strength
by stimulant he protested. He first
asked them to'satisfy themselves that
he had not been drinking before
taking the liquor offered. His record,
he said, was all he had and if he had to
dieh wanted it known that the wreck
was not due to his intemperance.
The young men of this country are
being made to realize as never before
that responsibility in business life is
one of the most valuable assets that
worker in the field of human effort
can have. As never before the stand
arsd of personal trustworthiness is
beiug maintained. Employers are
Insisting upon good habits on the part
Of all whom they engage. No man
IS intrusted with difficult or dangerous
duties unless it is assured that he is
temperate, for the Incorporate man
may fail at the supreme moment-fail
in judgment or physical capacity.
The business aspect of the temperance
movement is the most powerful. 1t
is this end of the proposition that is
carrying weight chiefly to-day. In
the specializing of industries the man
who succeeds must have not only ca
pacity for his particular calling, but
a moral quality to insure that ne can
and will use his abilities to the full
lest extent. The Washington Star
we'll says that the engineer on the
railrod is simply a type of the pre-
sent requirments. He must be com
pletely master of himself from the
start to the end of his run. Lives
are intrusted to him on the strength
of his reputation as a sober man as
we'll as skillful engineer. Had Engi-
neer Bush been drinking before the
accident at Bristol he would have
been remembered in the railroad
world as a man recreant to his trust,
who had sacrificed the lives and pro.
perty intrusted to him through his
selfish indulgence. His insistenct
upon proving himself true to the faitf
placed in him is an eloquent example
OF what a man should be, and it i!
hoped that this incident will become
known not only in every railroad
roundhouse but every business estab
Iishment in the United States.

been opened years ago but this time

1t now looks as though Delaware

tended from Frazier street to Hamil-

1.-THE HOLY CITY"
Greater Play iEver Seen In Urbana,
Ohio.

"The Holy City," Clarence Ben
nett"s Biblical play, appeared before
a fairly good sized audience last
night at the Clifford. Judging from
the quality of the production, how
ever, the audience should have filed
the playhouse to standing room. The
play deals Of the last few days Of our
Savior and the days following his
crucifixion. All Of the Bible charac-
ters of that time were introduced in a
strongly dramatic play. Of the com
pany it may be said that rarely has
so well balanced lot of play actors
been gathered together. Mr.. Ben

Which do you think wonP

Not long ago two men, athletes, weht
into a contest to see which could stand
erect and hold his arms stretched out
full length at either side OF his body for
the longer time. One man had fed on
steaks and chops, sausage, ham, roast
beef, etc. the other ate heartily, but con-
fined himself to such foods as Quaker
Oats, rice. macaroni, etc. Which do you
think held out longer?
The first man lasted twenty-five min
utes. The Quaker Oats-macaroni-rice
chap concluded to stop after he had been
il more than three hours.
There's more strength and economy in
eating lots OF Quaker Oats than most
people imagine
Every family should eat plentifully Of
Quaker Oats at least once every day /;
breakfast is the best time, II strengthens
you for the day.
The regular size package sells for l0c !;
the big family size package costs 25c;

Oats, costs 30c. Grocers sell all OF
these.

The Tri-State Telephone Co. s
long distance line has finally
reached Browns Valley and connec-
ton has been made with the indie
pendent local exchange this week.
In view Of the fact that less than
two months ago agents of the Min
nesota Central were circulating the
information that the Tri-State
would not build into Browns Valley
this season and probably never
would, the coming Of the new line
at such an early date is interesting,
to say the least. By building an
independent exchange, Browns VAL
ley people not only have saved the
sum Of SO cents per month on each
telephone, but it has secured the
Tri-State company and will save
many dollars each month on long
distance business. for the reason
that the Tri-State rates are lower
than those charged by the Bell trust
company. and the service will be
found to be much better. Inter-

In fact, when his foot was on the first
step and he was small and obscure
play producer in San Francisco-he
was one time rehearsing mclodrama
at the old AlcaZar theatcr The play
contained Il few Biblical lines, and the
rest was stirring western drama. The
company rehearsins was none too in

the great literary works of history.
MelOdrama was about all some of
them understood. When the hero came
to the quotation from the Bible he
looked little puzzled and turned to
companion to ask who wrote that
part with the quotation marks around
it.
''Oh. David" replied the other actor.

wild West Show was Punk.

Wiedemann's Big American Show
was in town Saturday. Aside from
a clever acrobatic feature and some
fairly good work with the lariat,
the show was worse than mediocre.
Their Indian Congress- proved
fully as tame and uninteresting as
the Washington brand, and qua
ker meeting supplied with dummy
guns could have made "Custer's
Last Charge more realistic than
the ''grand. sublime and dramatic
spectacle" put on by Wiedemann' S

Indians. The show received just
about the patronage it deserved.
