Depends On How Many Are Behind

One day while the late Senator Hearst
father OF William Randolph Hearst, the
publisher, was young man and yet had
his fortune TO make, he and few COM
panions were on prospecting tour.
Along in the afternoon they sighted a
band OF Indians, and as in those days all
Indians were hostile. Mr.. Hearst and his
friends naturally wanted to getaway from
there. All the prospectors except the
future Senator were mounted on horses.
MIR. Hearst was on retired army mule
ana soon found himself in the rear.
The Indians were on his trail and things
began TO look serious when he called out
to his rapidly disappearing companions:
Hold on. boys; there's only lew OF
them-we needn't be afraid"
lust then the mule scented the ap-
preaching Indians and with wild snort
started out with a gait that soon left the
horsemen far behind. When Hearst was
about quarter Of mile In advance he
turned in his saddle and yelled at the top
OF his voice:
Hurry up. boys; you'll get scalped.
There's more than hundred OF them"

The Fly Lacks Sense.

at is mighty good thing for the peo-
pie of this country" says Abe Peters,
"that the fly hasn't any sense. A fly
will walk deliberately into any sort OF a
trap with its eyes wide open. Put down
a piece OF sticky fly paper and pretty
soon a dozen flies are fast on it. That
isn't so remarkable, but everyone OF them
will kick and struggle aSlongas itlasts, tell
ing every other fly that i is in trouble.
Naturally, one would suppose that the
other flies, seeing what the first dozen
had gotten into, would keep away, but
they don't. The more flies get stuck on
the paper, the more the others want TO
get on. II is so with any sort OF trap.
You can't fix up anything in the nature OF
a trap that fool fly won't fall for. II It
wasn't for the fact that fly can raise a
family Of fifteen or twenty thousand chill
dren inside oil week. and that baby lily
on Monday morning may be the great
grandmother of million flies before Sat-
urday night, the tribe would have been
extinguished long ago.
"And yet, come TO think II over, don't
know but that flies show about as much
sense as a lot OF humans. The fool hui
mans keep walking into traps with their
eyes wide open year after year, and don't
seem 10 learn much of anything from
either observation or experience. Every
time see a young fellow throwing him
self away and running all his chances
forever of amounting 10 anything and
doing il with his eyes wide open, ! say
to myself, We'll, guess there are good
many of us humans who haven't any
more sense than so many fool flies.

The Road.

The road II slips between the hills
And wanders up and down.
II idles past the country store.
II hurries through the town.
Its shining wheel-ruts cross the creek
Beneath the gum-trees tall:
II travels far through many lands.
Yet never moves at all.
And many pass along the road
BY nighttime and by day:
II greets them all with smiling lace
And helps them on their way.
And still they come. with horse and cart
With steers and creaking wains.
And still they come and still they 20

From town to town, from sea TO sea
Yet always stay at home.

The beggar-man and dame.
To be friend TO all the world.
But still remain the same.
To help them all upon their way
Along my shining track,
The farmer with hi. heavy load,
The pedler with his pack.

As | can never be-
Then who will take the twining road,

Atlanta. Ga. Jan. 2S.-Charless w.
Morse. whose prison sentence was re-
Gently committed by President Taft,
left the army hospital at Fort Nc
Pherson, Saturday morning. He was
brought to n local hotel, where he will
stay until he is able to be moved,
probably to some Florida resort.
Morse was accompanied by Mrs.
Morse and his sister, Miss Jennie
Morse. He is conveyed from the mill
tary reservation in an ambulance. His
physicians thought the removal from
the hospital, where he spent so long
a time after his transfer from the
federal penitentiary, would aid his I'M
provement.
For the first time in more than two
years Morse escaped the eye OF gov
eminent officials. Most of that time
he spent in the penitentiary. About
two months ago he was taken TO the
Military hospital. Since his freedom
was given, two weeks ago. he has re-
manned at the hospital, too i'll to be
removed, according to his doctors.
