Samuel G. Blythe-happy mani
He is living ten lives to the one of
the average man. He is kind enough
to tell the Springfield Journal mis-
recipie. and If you will listen and
heed. you too may live 500 years in
stead of the allotted four score. His
philosophy sounds 0. K.
Sam" blythe. as every one knows.
is the fellow who writes serious
things in a way to make us laugh.
He has broad smile that goes into
his copy, and when we read his
amusing words we know that he
ciiurkled when he wrote them His
name pronounces his character.
Surrounded by party of newspa-
per men, the genial Sam" outlined
hrs personal philosophy, and it is a
duty and a pleasure TO pass it along.
He, OF course, referred TO newspaper
men, but his words apply to most
people in every sort of bussn ness. 1t
is philosophy that fits human life.
Sam says he has earned his living
ince he was 10 years old by writing
and he believes that there is no busi-
| ness in the world where the hours
are so long, work so exacting, discip-
line so rigid and the sense of re-
spons7bility greater.
He says he wasn't fortunate
enough to go to collegs, but he be-
leves that it is good thing for
man to get all the knowledgs he can
from whatever source he can Men
who succeed en- business are men
who have ideas. OF course. that's
true in any business. He also adj
sises that men specialize-become
experts in particular lines of interest
and &c better informed upon them
| than anyone else Sam specializes on
people-writes about persons and not
about things. And it's really won
derful sometimes to see him pick
la man to p;eces-he tells men
truths about themselves that they
never thought OF.
But listen TO what he says about
living 500 years. The man who is
always serious, has no sense of hu-
NOR, lives day in swenty-four hours.
| III you have sense OF humor,"
says Sam, for heavens sake nurse
it. Humor is the scarcest commodity
in the United States. 1t is extinct
elsewhere, almos.. Be happy your
seh and contribute 10 ne happiness
OF other folks"
That's the secret OF long life The
happy person may live ten days in
one, or 500 years in one lifetime. You
see he has ten experiences to the So
ber-faced fellows one. Sam says,
speaking to the newspaper men:
Have lot OF fun see many strange
things, work, keep away from drink,
keep honest, don't grumble, and"
He admits that you may die in
''hononed and virtuous poverty" but
thinx how long you will have lived.

TAFT EXPLAINS WARNING.
President Fears No Repetition OF Re-
publican Disruption in 1894, In
sists on More Conservation.

Washington, July president
TAFT, at the White House this even>
ing, gave an interview to newspaper
men, in which he amplified the mean
ing OF his remarkable utterance at
New Haven the night before, when
he sounded a note OF warning TO his
party in reference to tariff legisa
lion. The President talked with the
utmost freedom, but with the assur-
ance that HE would not be quoted in
the first person, which is the stand
ing White House rule
As the time t. near at hand when
the President will take a personal
part in the final adjustment of tariff
schedules it was not inopportune for
him to send the note of warming to
those who have been daily raising
rates to an Irrational point.
The President lis an ardent expon-
emit OF the doctrine OF free raw ma
;erials He was gratified with the
action OF the House in removing such
raw materials as hides, petroleum,
COAL, etc, from the dutiable list and
lie hopes that the conference will
cave them on the free list.
Insists Upon Reductions.
His sincere belief is that the new
,ariff measure will be a good bill If
ne reduct. ons each branch OF Con-
gress has ordered are acquieSced in
~ the other. He believes that be-
tween the two the Republican pledge
of revision would be fulfilled in a
arge degree and the new LAW could
defended before the people.
But Mr.. Taft's warning note at
y ale is not intended to foreshadow
such possible disruption of his par
" as that which followed the pas
age of the WIsonIGorman law in
1894 which President Cleveland per-
mitted to become a law without his
;gnature after denouncing it in
measured terms.
Thus far the Presidents relations
with Messr. Cannon and Aldrich have
been harmonious and it is his ex-
rectation that he pending bill will be
whipped into shape without the cleav-
age III the party which resulted from
he 90 revision. He believes that
many OF the increases written into
..e bill by the Senate lately are for
trading purposes when 1t reaches
Cnference.
The President made clear that he
never consented TO limit OF two
ears on the HE OF the corporation
AK or any other limit, thus correct
ng an impression Senator Aldridll
gave TO the Senate day or two ago

Heavy Cherry Yield

THE season for cherries is now al
most over. The crop this year ha;
been very good, but owing to the in
ability of farmers ITO secure the prop
err help, large quantity of the cher

mand for the fruit has been heavy.

Big Shipment of Flour and Feed.

The biggest daily shipment ever

left Bremen WedDe sday and consist
ed OF AZ, 500 pounds of flour and feed.
The consignment was billed to Bal
timore and will be distributed from

Dean ports
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1909-07-08

There is every reason TO believe to-
day from what one learns indirectly
and from the chance official word,
that the engineers will turn the COM
pleted canal over to the people at a
day so early that it will surprise the
engineering experts OF the world.
President Taft feels the same IN
terest today IN the Psnama canal that
ne felt when he was secretary Of war
and was charged with the work OF
selecting men to carry forward its
construction 1t is not likely that the
cSident ~; uld express himself on
the matter publicly, for comparisons
might be Thought unkind; but there
IS no reason to doubt that on many
an occasion the president congratu-
lates himself that he once took &C.
casion to settle quickly a hard conaro-
versy, and that he did it by making
-fls canal digging a soldiers JOB.

, The Tomb of eenohi. Khan.

Genghis Khan, the Mongol chief, in the thirteenth century proved himself one of the worlds greatest warriors. His tomb exists at Edchen Koro and is described in Count de Lesdain's From Pekin to Sikkim:" 1.-TWO small tents, one behind the other and con- nected by a very low inner door made of wornout felt and admitting through their rents the rain and the wind, are the monument destined to perpetuate the renown of the greatest conqueror the world has known. The ashes of the body of Genghis Khan are deposit ed fin a kind of chest cubic in shape and placed on a wooden support made of small colored pillars adorned with paintings on all its sides except that facing south, which is covered with a finely worked copperplate represent ing divinity surrounded by four ami mals which are not easy to identify. The tomb, in fact, has not always been here, but it is difficult to know exactly where the first descendants of the great emperor laid his remains"

Responsive.

There was at least one responsive nearer in the crowded little church in an English village, and it happened this way:
 Guests had arrived unexpectedly at the country parsonage on Sunday morning.
 The weekly supply of butter had run short, so the hospitable host dispatch ed old Joe, the handy man, to his neighbor, MT. Paul, whose dairy al- ways boasted a surplus. The parson proceeded to church with his we'll pre- pared sermon on some of the deep sayings of the great apostle and was we'll under way with it when old Joe. returning empty handed, concluded he would quietly slip in and hear his mas ter preach.
 Just as he entered the minister leaned over the pulpit, stretched out his hand with a most impressive in- terrogation in voice and manner and called out, And what did Paul sayF' Distinctly sounded through the church old Joe's reply:
 'He say, marster, he ain't going to let you have no more butter till you pay for the last you got"

Couldn't Quite Qualify,

"Mebbe you'd like to put a piece about me in yer paper" quavered the old man, hobbling up to the city edi- tors desk.
 What have you done?' demanded the arbiter of publicity's destiny.
 ''Nothin' much, but was a hundred year old yesterday"
 "A hundred, eh? But can you walk without a stick and read fine print without glasses?'
 'N-no."

rhese societies have been organized in

These societies have been organized in many towns and cities, and they have accomplished much good. It is affirm | ed that much energy has been wasted | in trying to perfect a school system while the people were ignorant Of the motives and aims that animated the School Board and the teach ITS, and | were incapable of understanding and | approving the methods employed. There are a plenty of communities in | this state that have never yet been reached by the spirit of modern edu- cation. There is such a club in Boston i the avowed purpose of which is to ] promote a finer public spirit and bet | ter social order. A similar organiza- l ton exists in Brookline. Mass. called the Educational Society. It has de- veloped a strong community interest in education and in helping to elevate the standard of the local schools It IS felt that a similar organization coulo do a good work in Fairfield.
