The Steady PlOdder Wins

You often hear people say: 81 really envy that man,
he has the happy faculty of making friends at first
meeting" or THAT girl is so brilliant, etc" but
there is another side to the story.
If you have particular destination, you do not
jump to reach it. You walk The trained athlete
spans much ground in a single bound and should
you measure it in comparison with the steps you
would take to cover the distance you would indeed
be discouraged That is nonsense, pure and sim
pie when you think of the strength required to
make the jump is many times that needed to walk
the distance. The trained athlete would not think
of jumping five miles, if he had that distance to go.
We cannot all be spectacular for if we were, the
spectacular would fade into the commonplace. 1t
is good, steady plodding that counts in the end,
You remember the story of the race between the
hare and the turte-the moral applies today just as
truly as it did when you thumbed the pages of your
Third Reader years ago. The moral also applies to
the spasmodic advertiser He shines for awhile and
then like a comet drops out of public notice.
Don't attempt jumps beyond your strength;
don't attempt to be comet, but rather a morning
star. If you have anything worth exploiting, choose
first what journal TO employ and then be consistent
and persistent in your advertising campaign. The
Herald is the silent salesman you are looking for.
Steady growth is of more value than spasmodic
| increase.

STRANGE DEATH
ANOTHER MYSTERY AT STATE
HOSPITAL FOR INSANE
Lad Said to Have Smothered Himself.
Physicians Declare That Method
Attributed Would Have At
tracted Attention
Especial to The Herald. ]

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 14.-Un-
der decidedly mysterious circum-
stances Burton Smith, an 1S-year-old
patient at the California state hospital
for insane at Patton, was found IN MS
bed yesterday morning dead, and, ac-
cording to the statements of the at
taches and officials of the institution
deliberately buried his face in his pill
low and smothered himself to DEATH
and such was the verdict of the COR
oner's jury.
DR.. L. Scott Blair, superintendent of
the hospital, in a statement tonight,
said it was the most mysterious death
ever coming under his observation and
it was beyond his comprehension how
the patient could have accomplished
his death in this manner, although
saying there is absolutely no suspicion
attached to other patients or attaches
The other physicians of the tnstltu-
tion state it is the strangest case on
record and there is no explanation Of
fered as to how the lad could have
died of asphyxiation by smothering
himself, in that the struggles which
would result from his efforts to end
his life in this manner would either
have attracted attention or caused him
to pull the bed clothing from around
his face.
The nurse in charge of the ward re-
morning it had been necessary to turn
the patient over on his back as he per-
sisted in burying his face in his pillow
and he was attending to other duties,
it is stated that the boy ended his life
to be found dead ten minutes later on
the return of the attendant to that
part of the ward.
1t is stated that Smith, who was
committed from San Diego county six
months ago during the past week has
made efforts to commit suicide by
chewing his arm and body and it was
necessary to put him in restraint. The
coroner conducted a personal investiga-
tion of the affair and had an autopsy
performed which resulted in the verdict
that the patient had died of asphyxia-
ton by smothering. The patient ended
his life in an open ward and was sur
rounded by competent inmates, none
of whom are known to be violent The
body was discovered shortly after

Especial to The Herald. ]

lSpeCldl " @AS AASAeNiN'l
PHOENIX, Sept. 14.-Four enraged
elephants broke loose from their keep
ers on the desert few miles from this
city today and tore down fences, at
tackled several houses and narrowly
missed killing two women and six
children.
After tearing off the roof of one
hacienda and tossing fence posts about
as boys toss baseballs, the animals
finally were subdued by their keepers
and brought to this city under control.
A vaudeville company travelling with
four elephants decided, for the sake
of economy, to march the big animals
across the Arizona desert from Mari
copa to Phoenix, a distance of thirty
five miles, on the way fording the Gila
and Salt rivers, now quite high.
A few miles from this city in passing
a Mexican hacienda the elephants be-
came unmanageable and broke loose
from their keepers. Fences were torn
down and fence posts tossed in the air
or used as battering rams jim the
trunks of the enraged pachyderms
The roof of the hacienda was torn off
and scattered about the plain.
One of the big brutes charged an
adobe house. breaking In the door,
Two women and six children were in
the hut but managed to flee through
the rear door, one of the women falling
in faint from fright just inside the
doorway.
Finding that the front door was too
small for the elephant to enter and
that the walls were too stout for the
animal to break down, the other wom-
an and children returned, resuscitated
their fainting friend and crouched in
terror until the keepers returned and
subdued the elephants.
