Speaking of filial ingratitude, old
Bill MUMMY of the Buford Tribune
says: The report to the effect that
We editor was badly cut by his son,
who returned from the Philippines a
year ago, in a contest on Sunday last
as to whether the young man should
treat his mother and sister and young
brothers in a civilized manner while
eating the "old mans" bread, is not
as bad as some have stated. While
the young man cut US with knife
and also assaulted US with hoe, we
proved too athletic for him, and but
little injury was done US, and we still
manage our own farm, notwithstand-
ing the attempt of the young man to
nut us out of the way. 1t may be
necessary for us to have him exam
ined by the board of insanity COM
missioners, for there seems to be no
doubt but that his service in the Phil
ippines has made him imagine that
all of his relatives and even others
with whom he comes in contact are
Filipino slaves, and therefore subject
to actions akin to those of southern
slave-drivers, who, thanks to the
Boys in Blue" were nearly all ex-
terminated in the war of the rebel

Prussian Railway Managers Introduce
convsnisnces For Trainmsn.
The railway authorities in Prussia
evidently mean to be up to date in the
matter Of care for the comfort and
we'll being Of their employees. Their
last movement In this direction Is to
provide clubhouses for employees who
end the days service at point dis
tant from their homes.
At certain points along tho various
lines they have built two story houses
with comfortable sleeping and eating
rooms. where engineers. conductors,
Inspectors and section hands can pass
the night and take supper or break
fast. The dormitories contain two.
four and six beds. and there are sep
arate sleeping rooms for specially priv
ileged ofiicials.
Each railroad man actually employed
on q train who has to pass the night
away from bis home is supplied at the
point Of departure with a bedding out
fit packed in handy case. II lie
wishes he can take provisions with
him, which he can have cooked or
warmed up at the sleeping station.
Some Of the newly opened houses are
supplied with a small library of books
or a few Of the days papers. No
charge II made for the accommodation
or service.

SOFT COAL IS DESTROYING
NOTED ENGLISH BUILDINGS
Oxford Factory Chimnsys Rot Stones
Of University Buildings.

Recent local legislation in England
which forbids factory owners to per-
init black smoke to issue from chin
neys does not touch the equally sooty
smoke from the soft coal used in mil
lions Of old fashioned English CRATES
and kitchen ranges.
1t Is not only In London that the
smoke laden atmosphere rots the stone
work and is a menace to historical
buildings like Westminster abbey. Ac-
cording to the Local Government Re-
view, large quantities Of the blacklist
smoke are issued from factory chin
neys in aud about Oxford.
Over the stones Of its colleges there
is a deposit Of SCOT. The acids held In
the SCOT blister the surfaces Of the
stones. After u time that blister falls,
leaving a rough. crumblng surface. the
precursor Of rapid decay. An 1n1or-
mant officially connected with the uni
versity has said that be has little doubt
that the decay Of the stonewOrk Of the
older buildings has been greater In the
nineteenth century than In amy former
century. and this Is due to the increas-
ed use of coal.
The paper gives also particulars OF
the damage to portions Of Canterbury
cathedral by smoke. especially to the
great Angel tower. on which the ca
thedral authorities have spent q large
sum in repairs. AS regards Exeter
cathedral. noble edifice $50 years old,
the writer says that SCOT has eaten Its
way into all parts Of the delicate trac-
cry Of the western front Of the struc-
ture. Efforts have been made with
more or less success to remedy and to
replace, but the ancient glory has large
ly departed.

INDIANS AND BULLETS.
A Sample Of the Strenuous Life In
kentucky In 177.


In 1777, while Harrodsburg. KY.
was so beset with Indians that the
Inhabitants were In straits for daily
bread. n young man. only sixteen years
old, made himself extremely useful by
venturing out Of the fort before day
break and returning with load Of
game after nightfalI. This intrepid
youth was James Ray. afterward Cen
eral Ray.
One day in the year just mentioned
Ray and another young man were
shooting at mark near the fort, when
the second man was suddenly shot
down by the Indians. Ray looked In
the direction whence the shot had
come. saw the enemy and was on the
point Of raising his rifle when he was
set upon by another band who had
crept near him unseen.
He took to his heels and, being q
quick runner. reached the fort amid a
shower Of bullets. but the gates were
shut. and the men inside were so
frightened that they dared not open
them. Finding himself shut out, Ray
threw himself fiat on the ground in
the rear Of stump, and here, perhaps
seven steps from the fort and within
sight Of his mother. he lay for four
hours. while the bullets Of the Indians
tore up the ground on either side Of
him.
At last he grew impatient and called
out to the garrison:
"For heavens sake, dig hole under
he cabin wall and take me in!'
The men inside set to work imme-
diately. and the brave young hunter
was speedily safe inside the fort.

GOOD AND BAD CROPS.

In general, everybody knows what
good crops or bad crops mean to In
dustry at large; but their influence
Is sometimes obscured by other
causes. There was 1906, for instance,
when the American wheat and cotton
crops broke all records but one, and
the corn crop broke all records; yet
the season of viol0nt liquidations,
which led to the panic of 1907, began
before that crop was marketed. On
the other hand, there was 1900, when
the wheat yield was the smallest in
four years, and 15O,OOO,OO0 bushels be-
low 1898, the corn crop of mediocre
size. and the cotton crop we'll below
the recent average; yet 1t was while
these crops were moving to consum-
ers that there occurred the uaparal-
leled outburst of financial enthusiasm
which reached its climax in April,
1901. And again, there have been
years like 1903, when wheat ran no.
900 900 bushels under the previous
maximum harvest, corn 279,000,00O
bushels, and cotton 1,250,00O bales.
Nevertheless, financial and industrial
recovery had begun before the next
years barvests.
Sometimes one exceedingly good
crop seems to offset another which is
bad. The corn crop of 1901 was half
failure, but the wheat crop OF that
year has never been matched, before
or since, and the country's business
went through the autumn smoothly.
Again, there was 1904, whose wheat
yield was disastrously small, but
whose cotton crop broke all records
for magnitude at an hour when a big
crop was most needed; and 1904 was
a year of rapid industrial recovery.
Perhaps the safest conclusion Is,
that crops do not accomplish every
thing, whether for good or Ill, but
that abundant harvests are, neverthe'
less, something to conjure by. The
story of 1907 might not have been
altogether what 1t was but for the
shortage in wheat and cotton, and the
story of 1906 would certainly not have
been as brilliant as it was, up to the
later days of autumn, but for its rec
ord-breaking agricultural yields. 1t Is
reasonable, therefore, to assume that
1910 still has very substantial stake
in results in that direction.

What NAPOLEON Couldn't Do.

An incident connected with Napoleon
when he was in exile in Elba Is COM
memorated on the island to this day
by an inscription affixed to the wall OF
a peasants house. A man named Clio
conf was blowing when the famous
exile came along one day and ex'
pressed an interest in his work. Ma
poleon even took the plow handles and
attempted to guide it himself. but the
oxen refused to obey him. overturned
the plow and spoiled the furrow. The
inscription runs thus:
Napoleon the Great. passing by this
place In MDCCCXIV, took in the
neighboring field a plow from the
hands Of a peasant and himself tried
to plow. but the oxen. rebellious to
those hands which yet had guided Eu.
rope, headlong fed from the furrow."

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
How u Would Affect Mans Weight on

the Celestial Bodies.
If the planet Mars be really inhab-
tied the people who live there must be
an exceedingly agile race. The av.
erage weight Of u man is about 40
pounds. but the force Of gravity on
Mars is so much less than on the
earth that the $40 pound man would
weigh only ffty-three pounds If he
were transported thither. With such
light weight, and still retaining the
same strength. an individual would
be able to run with the speed Of an
express train. 60 skipping over ten
foot walls and do various other ex-
traordinary things. On the moon a
man would be even lighter.
But on the sun our 40 FOUNDER
would have his troubles. Instead Of
being an airy individual he would
weigh In the neighborhood Of a ton
and three-quarters. he would prob
ably have the greatest difficulty in
raising his hand. for that member
would weigh about 800 pounds.
According to scientific computation,
q man who on earth weighs 40
pounds would on the other celestial
bodies weigh as follows:
The moon. q pounds; Mars. 81
