Andrew Carnegie was young man
himself once; he was very poor: he
had no friends; but he possessed great
courage OF conduct and found out ear
ly In his career that the young man
who drinks liquor for the passing
pleasure ii gives is the young man
who will not succeed in the practical
affairs OF this life. Business men
whatever their own personal habits
may be, are not inclined to give re-
munerative employment to the young
sters who are fond of drink. The
young fellow who starts out with his
appetite uncontrolled is undone before
he begins. Substantial people do not
trust him; the great industrial corpo-
rations will not employ him, and in
the vast majority OF cases the young
man who fails to make any mark i'm

Andrew Carnegie is wise man; he
is worth millions OF dollars; he has
given away millions OF dollars for
many charitable purposes, but he new
er made n dollar that he owns by
drinking liquor.

WHY MOSeY WAS DISMISSED

The story of dismissal of Colonel
John S. Mosby from the Department
of Justice is another instance OF
snake killing" not altogether to the
credit of the president administra-
ton. AS the Times Dispatch aptly
says:
There is nothing 'superanuated' in
Colonel John s. Mosbys use of the
English language in his letter to
Leroy Sweetser, of Boston, in which
he writes of his dismissal from the
Department OF Justice"
He was dismissed on the ground
that he is snperanuated, or. at least.
he has heard that was the excuse
made for his removal. He thinks. how.
ever, that this was a mere pretext
that the real reason was to punish
me for having three scoundrels in
dlcted for robbing the Indians. and NV
opposing their application, which was
finally successful, to get the prosecl;.
ton dismissed. They had arranged
another 100000 steal and wanted
me out OF the Department Senator
Gore near the close OF the session ex
posed IL in speech in the Senate. "
The only fault Colonel Mosby has
to find with Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Wick
ersham is that they condemn me with
ont a hearing on the word of an As.
sistant Attorney General. who is nor
&Pw in the Department; who repre-.
sented that / was superannuated. He
had to do that to justify himself for
giving me no work The true reason
was that he was an active partisan of
those criminals who wanted to punish
me as we'll as to get me out OF their
way for another steal"
Colonel Mosby claims that all bi.
faculties, mental and physical are in
as good condition now as they were
thirty years ago, and there is certainly
nothing that indicates decrepitude in
the way he writes about the cause
OF his dismissal. His case should have
the immediate attention OF the Prosi
dent He is just man and would
find. doubtless. upon a careful review
OF this case that Colonel Mosby. who
was the friend OF Grant at the sacri
fee Of the friendship Of many of his
own people, has been outrageously
treated, TO the disadvantage of tho
service and the injury OF one OF the
bravest Of the brave.

IN EXTREMES.

A few designing politicians have
been exhibiting tho issue OF the Lea.
Ger OF September 9th, containing an
outline OF Governor Paterson's cam.
paign in Tennessee, with the argument
that the Leader was fighting for a wet
ticket.
The Leader gave an outline used by
the supporters OF Governor Patterson
as news item jut as it had previously
referred TO the arguments used
against Patterson.
The Leader is not in sympathy with
Governor Patterson. We believe that
he should be overwhelmingly defeated
for the good OF the state.
The matter referred to was not an
editorial, was not even on the editori.
nj page. and in no way indicated that
we voiced the arguments used by
Patterson's adherents in behalf of the
whiskey interests.
Such tactics indicate the fact that
the Republican machine is in extrem-
is. We shall never be so narrow as
to give only one side of question.
Our own opinions as reflected by our
editorials is a different matter en-.
tirely.
The drowning man will catch at a

THE ANIMAL MIND.
A Story About Cow and the Cali

a Story About a Cow and the Cali
She Licked.
An absurd story Is cited about a
cow, showing what creatures Of habit
animals are. This particular COW
would pot stand to be MIXED unless
she could lick her calf at the same
time. For long time she always had
calf OF some age or other to lick
but at last by Ill fortune one of her
calves died.
There is no reason why bereayec
mother should mourn her loss just q.
milking time. but there was the fixed
habit OF making certain motions. The
farmer. however. was Il prncticai
psychologist He stuffed the skin OF
the calf with hay and let the COW
have TINT TO lick. 70 be sure. the hay
calf had neither head nor legs. but
cow has no general ideas concerning
the nature OF calves nor any speeia,
reason for assuming that calves should
have heads and legs. 1t felt right. and
Ii smcllcd right. 1t enabled her to 20
through the customary motions al
milking time. Therefore it was sutB
cient.
Wy dlnt Of caressing and licking her
little calf the tender parent one fine
morning unripped It. The hay issued
from within, and the COW, manifest.

ton. proceeded TRANQUILITY to deyour

Ridge Mountains.
The Blue Ridge mountains abound
IN natural wonders" observed an old
resident OF Pcnmar. Most wonderful
OF them all. In my opinion. Is the Dev.
lis Race Course. which is but short
walk from Penmar.
AT first view this strange natural
phenomenon appears like broad

tends away up the mountain I'm path

Many OF these great stones weigh

binary spectacle
Tradition has 1t and scientists agree
that thousand or more years ago
this strange track was the bed Of an
ancient river. The conclusion Is drawn
from the looks OF the stones. They
are all we'll rounded and worn smooth
showing the action OF wnter. which
mad polished their rough edges no
doubt for centuries.
But the mystery is If this theory 10
true to explain how the great body of
water was confined at the sides, for
the course is not hemned in by high
