The "kickcr" may be a necessary
factor of society as it exists, but
he cannot be a happy member.
There are eXcrescences upon the soc.
ial fabric that are a menace and
that are so constituted that they
will only respond to a kick sayagely
administered. His job is like that OF
the hangman's, a bsotless one. The Z
is little profit in knocking down
things and men unless you are in
position, to fill their places with
that which works an improvement.
Falls City can gain nothing from
any spasmotic effort at driving out
existing evils unless, she is pre-
pared to put something better to
replace what has been done away wit
Always give me n bad men, in pref.
erence to hone The biggest danger
before us Is, the cultivation of that
type of pharisaic goodness, that
erentuates in our being so good that
coed to wash their hands of any
further concern about it, except pos
sibly to kick if things do not pro
coed precisely to their liking. No
more vicious idea could prevail. With
the election of a new administration,
the individual citizens responsibility
only fairly begins. An officer is
the tool of his constituency and can
only act with power and effect when
supported and abetted by the poo
pie. The fact that Americans so
largely ignore all responsibility in
government, is chiefly responsible for
the wretched bungle that is the
present experience of our cities in
self government.

third is a medium policy upon which

ROMANCE OF COLD WEATHER
Man Saves Two Lives but Subsequent
Llonlzlng lie Much TO His
Disadvantage.

Two lovers were strolling along a
canal bank on the outskirts OF Paris
the other day when the woman sud
denly ran from her companion and
threw herself into the water. Though
but q bad swimmer, her companion at
once jumped In to rescue her, but he
was unable to do so, and both were
in peril of drowning. At this mo-
ment a stranger came along, and see
ing the struggling couple, bravely
jumped In and succeeded In bringing
both the man and the woman to the
bank, where they were soon revived.
A cheering crowd assembled to con-
graduate the rescuer who, however,
showed great reluctance to be lion
lied. He was quickly walking away
when two policemen came on the
scene and insisted that the anne and
address of so brave a man should be
taken. Their surprise was great
when they found that the gallant
rescuer was a burglar for whom the
police were anxiously searching. He
was taken into custody and will be
brought up for sentence. 1t is expect
ed that the gallant rescue will lead
to his dismissal, or at least to a re-
duction in any sentence that might
otherwise have been passed on him
for his less heroic deeds.

Preachers Free on This Boat.

Preachers will be carried free on
the Mississippi, river steamer G. w.
Hill owing to a request made by the
late Capt. G. w. Hill, who died several
weeks ago at his home in Alton. He
was n Of the owners Of the steamer
and said that 1t had always been his
custom to carry preachers free on
any steamer of which he was the in
dividual owner, and he wanted his
boat to accord the same privileges to
clergymen as long as 1t bore his name.
Captain Hill said that he began that
custom on the first steamer he owned
and operated, which was on the Des
MONIES river in Iowa in the early SOS.
While on a trip down the river from
Fort Des Moines, 0 Des Moines, he
found that one Of his most prosper
Gus looking passengers was a preach
or. He at once refunded the fare,
which was $40, and aver afterward he
made 1t a rule to carry preachers on
the complimentary list.-St. Louis Re-

SCALES ALL OVER HER BODY

about three years ago I was af-
fected by white scales on my knees
and elbows. I consulted a doctor who
treated me for ringworm. l saw no
change and consulted a specialist and
he claimed I had psoriasis. I contin-
ued treatments under him for about
six months until l saw scales break
ing out all over my body save my
face. My scalp was affected, and my
hair began to fall. I then changed
hospitals and each wanted to make a
study of the case and seemed unable
to cure 1t or assure me Of a cure. I
tried several patent medicines and,
was finally advised by a friend who
has used Cuticura on herr children
since their birth, to purchase the
Cuticura Remedies. I purchased a
cake of Soap, the Ointment and the
R~esolvent. After the first application
the itching was allayed.
IT am still using the Soap and Oint-
ment and now feel that none other is
good enough for nay skin. The psor-
iasis has disappeared and 1 every
where feel better. MY hands were so
disfigured before using the Cuticura
Remedies that I had to wear gloves all
the time. Now my body and hands
are looking fine" (Signed) Miss Sara

EFFECTS OF INTENSE LIGHT
Eatiuue of the Retina Depends Mostly
on the Amount Received by
That Organ.

It is not so much the intensity OF the
light focused on the retina as 1t is h
quantity received by that sensitive
organ that causes retinal fatigue or
worse. In the great snow fields OF the
arctic regions the natives protect their
eyes from the glare Of the snow by
goggles made Of followed pieces OF
wood in which they have made small
holes to look through. This, says the
Optical Review, reduces the quantity
Of the light which passes into their
eyes with consequent relief from the
glare.
So, too, If we look through a min
ute pinhole disc at the sun we can en-
dure the very bright light much longer
than when we look with the naked
eyes. If we look at a distant electric
arc light there is no retinal fatigue,
while IL we look at the same light from
a short distance there is great dis
comfort, and yet the two retinal i'm
age are of equal brilliancy, only in
the first case this image is very much
smaller than in the second case; that
is the quantity Of light is very much
different.
Then there is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in all
of the large cities of the country. This
light is much less brilliant than that
of the arc light, and yet its size is SO
great that this more than makes up
the difference, and 1t is therefore very
glaring and uncomfortable to look at.
In skiascopy 1t is possible to s a
very intense light If it is made small
in area, and for the eason above
stated.
