THE COUNTRY BOY.
He is in Demand Where His City
Cousin Cannot Find EN-
plOYment.

The "calI to the country" has
reached the ears of the city boy,
who Is rapidly being supplanted at
home by the boys from towns, viii
lagos and rural districts Manv
boys feaTe the farm because they
know nothing but the drudgery of
farm life; they have never been
taught the use of labor-saving ma
chinery, because. as rule, their
parents have been too poor to in
dulge in these things; and because
there Is always Job open in the
city for them. The city boy need
not apply for this job; he has been
trained to Incidence and self-indul-
gence. and the keen business man
does not want him. On the other
hand, the country boy, used to all
Kinds OF hardShipS, ana stimulated
by the alluring things of the city,
Is tireless worker.
An illustration of this was re.
Gently furnished in letter written
by former Port Gibson boy. now
employed in New Orleans, to his
parents here. He said:
cit seems that it takes country
boy to get along in a city, as you
have no idea the amount of boys
who were raised here and cannot
even get Job. l do not know of
one single boy who is dependent
upon himself, I mean friends of
mine, who has not got good job"

THAT POSTAL ORDER.
Uncle Sam After Newspapers with
a sharp Stick.

It is difficult to uproot noxious
plant after it has had years of un-
disputed possession. So is it hard
to abolish the credit system which
has dominated a country for posi-
bly, hundred years, becoming the
hoary idol of an indulgent people.
But the cold hand of law is ruth
less and cares not for these senti-
mental follies. So it is with the
postal order furbidding credit by
newspapers to their subscribers.
1t is said that the service is over
burdened with second class mail,
and that the order is means of
wedding out the unnecessary-the
illegitimate, so to speak. Be this
as it may, the order comes with no
uncertain terms. 1t says "you
must" and we shall. The conse-
quences for non. compliance are
rather grave, just little too grave
for the average paper, and the
order will be obeyed.
1t is not for US to say whether it
is just or unjust. Our part is to
submit to the inevitable. 1t may
be that in doing SO we may appear
Indifferent to the feelings of our
subscribers, but as soon as it be
comes known that we are the
greatest sufferers, these subscribers
will settle past dues and become
paid-up subscribers. The paper
has favored them in the past by
extending credit, and they should
favor the paper in future.

Mr.. Reeds Visit.

Mr.. Richard F. Reed, of Match
ez, candidate for congress in the
seventh district, spoke this morn
ing to a most appreciative audi
ence, his talk being along broad
lines and most delightful.
Many of those present have been
heard to say that it was the first
speech from candidate ever heard
by them which did not contain
some reference to their opponents.
Nor was this all, Mr.. Reed did not
"make no miration 'bout hisself'
as the old darker put it.
Instead of confning himself to
the race for congress, Mr.. Reed
dwelt with the present race for
president and gave bright pro-
phecies of the great day comming
for the democrats. His rating of
both candidates is high, and his
pleasure and pride in their Christ
ian character was beautifully ex-
presseda Indeed, all of his address
was eloquent and eloquently re-
.ceived. Simple in its arrange
ment, clear in its conception, and
delivered without mannerisms or
affectation, the very simplicity and
evident honesty of the man won
the hearts-and what will count
for more at the polls-the votes of
the good people who seem to have
come to realize that the need of the
hour is clean, upEight, honest men.
And certainly they will get just
that if they send Richard F. Reed
to congress-as they are going to
do.-Chatauqua Correspondent.

The Abuse Of the AUTOMOBILE.

L He ABUSE Oh the AulOHlOOIie.
The twentieth century may fairly
be called the age of speed. The
trolley-car, rushing through city
streets and country roads, replace!
the jogging horse.car and rumbline
stage; the fast steamers take yor
to England in FIVE days; the thou
sand miles between New York and
Chicago is covered in, eighteen
hours; and mankind has almost
forgotten the joys of a quiet saunt'
er. Distances have been shortened
by the bicycle, the automobile and
the motor-boat, and the aeroplane
is to outspeed them all.
Although much is gained per-
haps, the physician knows that
something is lost. The uses and
benefits Of the automobile, for ex-
ample, are great If it is. sensibly
used; but when it is abused, the
danger to those in and out OF the
car is even greater. Driving a
high h-power car at full speed is a
pleasurable form of intoxication,
hnt like all intoxication, it has its
penalties, and they are heavy.
The drivers eyes and nervous
system may suffer seriously, al
there are numerous minor
ills 10 which heis liable that may
come first, and teach him modera-
ton.
The tax on the eyes is enormous,
for they are kept al constant strain
looking for obstacles and inequali-
ties in the road The wind and
dust, in spite Of goggles, often
cause a troublesome inflammation
that yields only to rest in a dark
ened room and appropriate medical
treatment.
A not uncommon affection of the
eyes is failure to focus properly;
the ciliary muscles become exhaust
ed and suddenly cease to act-a
paralysis that causes
sudden blurring of the vision. If
that comes while the car is going
at full speed, the driver is fortu-
nate if he can stop it in time. The
only course for the driver who has
had this af1iction is to give up the
wheel, for if it has occurred once,
it may occur again at any time.
Another ailment that may affect
the passengers as we'll as the driver
is a painful stiff neck caused by
unconscious muscular tension. But
the most serious penalty that fol-
lows abuse of the automobile Is
neurasthenia. or nervous break
down. A man whose brain Is fa-
iigued with business cares cannot
with safety substitute another form
Of mental strain for the needed re-
taxation. Youth $ Companion.

the habit of raising before the

does not include the vast increase

prospects that not as much damage
will be done, and that, after all,
there will be fair crop gathered.
