He Won.

Thursday morning o. Maddox
was painting the screen at the Gem
Theater. He had a ladder leaning
to the north wall and another lad
der to the south wall. About 16
feet from the floor he had a board
resting on both ladders. He walk
ed on the board which sprineine
down with his weight pulled the
ladders from the wall caused Mr..
Maddox to see that all was going
down, so in order to get to the floor
before the board he was standing
on landed he made flying leap
and won. The bucket of aluminium
paint followed and covered him as
a blanket. AS he went down he
saw his accident and death policy
being paid, but this scene was pre-
mature as he sustained no serious
injury.

Early to Bed.


Some children wonder why it is
that they must always be sent to
bed so much earlier than grown
folks and many of them make all
kinds Of excuses to stay up a little
later.
Sleep ic natures provision to en-.
able the body and brain to rest and
grow, and most of the growing is
done by children while they sleep,
so that if they do not 90 to bed
early and get plenty of sleep they
must lose some of their growth,
both bodily and mentally.
In the old days some parents
were very careless about their chill
dren's sleep. but people understand
such things better now. and parents
know that if they want their boys
and girls to be tall and straight and
bright they must give them plenty
of sleep.-Ex.

The Original Advertiser.
Nature was the first advertiser

AhS OllBlHdl AuNeTllSSTs
Nature was the first advertiser.
Her advertisements assumed var
ious forms and every form was
honest
Nature could never be enmeshed
by the Pure Food and Drug Law
for false and misleading advertise
ments.
She always tells what is so.
Pain is Natures way of advertis-
ing that something is wrong with
the physical side of man.
Bad odOr is her way of telling of
decay.
Thunder is the advance announce
ment of storm.
The cackle of a hen is a top.of.
column ad there's an egg in the
nest, and the crow of a rooster is a
bold statement that the advertiser
has faith in his provinces and chal.
lenges combat.
The peacock advertises his ward
robe by full page spread of his
tail and the bark of a dog is ad-
vance notice to keep at a dis
lance.
Hunger is the stomach's adver-
tisement of Food wanted" and
drowsiness is the advertisement OF
the brain for sleep.
The falling leaves advertise the
approach of fall, and the violets
modestly foretell the coming of
Spring.
Any advertiser of merchandise
who is a close observer of Nature
realizes that the only thing worth
While Is Truth.
Tell what is so, and tell it in a
way that must be seen or heard.
Tell it in the proper place and at
the right time.
Tell it over and over, so that in
time your advertisements will come
to be recognized as being as true as
Natures advertisements.
A man can be honest and truth
full without boasting about it.
Do no say in every advertise
ment that you are honest.
Simply be honest. Put your ad-
vertisement in an honest newspa-
per. Let them be honest, telling
what you have to say in a simple,
straightforward way and you will
quickly establish a reputation that
will prove very valuable.

Beware of Pretty Soon"

Beware of Pretty Soon"
In the valley of Sometime there
dWelleth a race,
In the village of Wait-and-delay;
Where the go-easys swarm, and the
by-and bys chase
The elusive perhaps all day.
Where the let-'-er-goes scatter false
visions of gain,
And of peace, and of plentitude
free,
With never thought of misfortune
and pain,
In the futures dark fullness to be
The streets they are covered with
promises flush,
And with after. awhiles galore,
While the wait-a-bit fits like a robin
or thrush,
Around every window and door.
But sad is the thought that while
pleasant today,
AS effect must follow cause ever.
The habit Of "pretty-soon" cometh
to stay,
And darkens away into Never

Clark Says Put Shoulder to Wheel
and Elect Ticket.

In letter answering one from a
personal friend at Louisiana, Champ
Clark says to him:
But there is no use crying over
split milk No difference how it
was done, l was defeated at Balti-
more, and Governor Wilson was
nominated, and the only thing for
us to do is to take off our coats and
put our shoulders to the wheel and
elect the ticket. If we cannot elect
a president with the republicans
fighting like the cats of Kilkenny,
we are not likely to elect one in
your day or mine, so l hope all my
friends will quit mourning and line
up for the ticket.
No man ever had friends who stood
by him more Loyalty than mine
have stood by me. l wish you would
tell all my friends what l say about
it, and that the only thing to do in
the premises is to 60 to work and
elect the ticket.-MiSsouri Tele-

Standpat HumbueeerY.

The standpat leaders in the re-
publican party, led by President
Taft, and with First Lelutenants
Penrose. Smoot, Crane, Guggenhein
and Boss Barnes constituting the
board of strategy, have decided to
make the tariff the issue of their
campaign, This was decided on at
a conference of standpat senators
and republican campaign managers
at the Taft Notwithstanding, and
while there were some who were in
favor of making the high cost of
living and the antitrust record the
main issues. the tariff men won.
In pursuance of this decision it
is the plan of the Taft advisors to
drag out the full dinner pail slogan,
and to try once more to achieve
victory by making the people be-
lieve that prosperity can continue
only under republican rule.
The republican conference, in the
light of its results, was wholly I'M
necessary, for it was decided long
ago the tariff was to be the issue of
the campaign Every democrat in
the country, from the leaders in
congress down to the most obscure
worker in the ranks, made up his
mind Immediately after the passage
of the Payne Aldrich bill that the
tariff was to be the issue, and the
republicans are discovering every
day that the tariff is the issue.
There was no necessity for them to
solemnly meet and decide that
question. for it was decided for
them long ago.
The full dinner pail argument. in
these piping days of trust domina-
ton, is almost an insult to every
man who labors. and its employ
ment by the republican leaders is
another evidence of the fact that
these men are either blind to actu-
al conditions. or desperately hope
full that they can keep up their de-
ception a while longer.
Democratic investigations of var
ious trusts during the past year
have revealed that men who work
for trusts receive pitifully low
wages. The Lawrence strike in
quiry showed that men, women and
children work for the highly pro-
tected wooden trust for wages of SIS,
Sc and ST week. With prices for
foodstuffs what they are it does
not require much of a mathema-
tician to figure out that the dinner
pals carried by trust workmen are
full of nothing except air.
This slogan of the republicans
should be changed to the full din
ner table" and should refer to the
groaning boards of the trust mag
mates, rather than to the humble
pals carried by their workmen. The
dinner tables of the trust owners
never were heaped higher. In
Washington this winter one of the
benefciaries of high tariff protection
gave single dinner which cost
$35,OOOi
With beef selling at IS and 80
cents a pound. and wages So and
ST week. it is not difficult to I'M
derstand that the dinner pals car
ried by trust Workmen are full of
nothing but the chief constituent of
republican promise, namely, thin,
blue wind.-Quincy Journal.

A Skinned Milk Patriot.

The man who stays away from
the polls is in direct conspiracy
with the voter whose ballot is de-
bauched-because he makes it pro.
portionately easier for the tainted
ballot to win its cause.
No non-voter is a good citizen.
At most he is merely not a bad
citizen.
If he does not vote today (when
his country needs him) he should
not be permitted to vote tomorrow
(when he may have an axe to
grind).
This non-voter is a menace wher-
ever he lives and he lives every
where.
If he had an ounce of conception
of what it cost his forefathers to OBJ
tain the ballot, he would not so
lightly treat its use.
He is skinned milk patriot.
His negligence is born of thought
lessneSs and habit rather than of
malice the same refined distinction
that exists between kleptomania
and theft.
The mere passage of compulso-
ry voting law would have tremen-
dous moral effect that would add
years to the life of the republic.
The mere statement of the case
as it is proves uncontrovertihly the
need for action. - "Democracy's
Prime Need" A. H. Vandenberg, in

 It was stated by Councilman Me ElrOy last evening that the dust nuisance was working d two-fold in jury. In the first place the rising of dust in the late afternoon, the time when the effects are. mostly felt, carries disease germs into the throats and lungs of pedestrians.
