A Primer for Heroes.

In rescuing q beautiful woman
from drowning, do not allow her to
put her arms around your neck.
This is a terrible sacrifice, of course,
but it is necessary if you wish to
sport a medal
Remember the principal danger
of mounting the ladder of fame is
that the huzzas of the populace
may jar you off.
Do not allow your neighbors to
learn that you are a hero. They

time you stole hen eggs and loved
your schOOl-teacher.
Before proceeding to the rescue of
one of those young men who per

count twenty or even a hundred.

Not All Smooth Sailing.

This is not a satin world where
everything goes smooth.
No tent upon silver shore nor yet
an Orient booth,
This world is plain rag carpet, with
some calico to boot,
And if it does not please us we will
have to make it suit.
It's not all pleasant sailing on this
ocean of our life,
For storms are always breaking and
the deeps are stirred with strife.
It's quite windy planet, with some
thunder and rain.
But, oh, how sweet it's solace if we
only bear its pain!
Some think it's velvet Brussels all
along the daily road,
With naught but song and gladness
and no bearing of the load.
It's not all woven tapestry by any
means till you
Have borne your share of sorrow as
the Lord Ordains you to.
It's just a cornbread country, and
the cake we eat we win
By sacrifice and service and a daily
fight with sin
So don't expect the roses while the
gardens full OF weeds,
And somewhere there's a brother
with a heart that aches and

His eye is not of the .shifty kind OBJ.

critics. On the witness stand Mr.. Post
looks quietly but very steadily straight in
to the eyes of the hagglinR, twisting lays

followed some discussion between attor~
neys.
When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply.
he said, "I don't know until read the
book over to see.'
This book, it turns out, was written by
Mr. Post seventeen years ago and prob
ably has not been read carefully by him
in the last fifteen years. It would require
a remarkable memory to instantly say
eyes or ''no'' as to what book of lat
pages did or did not contain, withouo
reading it over,-but such conservative
and well balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be "dodging.
The attorney sought by every art to
impress the Jury with the fact that Mr.
POSTS belief in the power OF Mind In
relation to the body branded him as un-
reliable and worse.
The following is quoted from one Of
the questions:-
(The lawyer reading from tho book.)
e"The writer of these pages desires to
say nothing of himself other than as q
simple instrument through which the Dt.
vine Principle chooses to manifest itself
by precept and example.
"Skill in mental practice is gained In
the same way as skill in any departments
of science-by observation, study, expet
rience and the ability to evolve correct
conclusions.

The Postum Company does pay out up

Captain Tommy Guiheen who has
piloted the Elizabeth, n. c., team to
the championship in the first period in
the Tidewater league, telegraphed early
in the week asking whether Brattleboro
could make use of his services. There
was also an intimation that Robertson,
his star twirler, who had been drafted
TO Detroit for next season, would like
to come here. Manager Breckenridge
wired him asking for the terms of the
two players. Nothing has been heard
from Guiheen since then. Tommy
would be the greatest drawing card the
management could obtain. He has lived
in Brattleboro from his birth, for sew
eral years ranked as the best all round
r5Iayer in the New England league and
tht past three seasons has made great
record In the South He has always
been a heavy hitter and this year batted
above the 400 mark, many of his drives
being for extra bases. Robertson Is q
