SHOWING A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Good example to be Of the most al.
sistance must appeal to US individ-
ually. 1t is then that W. are able to
appreciate it to its fullest measure.
Our natures act impulsively. as 1t
were, and we respond In a manner
which could not have resulted from
merely a few practical and we'll
meant suggestions on the part Of 9TH
ers. The good influence which is pow
erfui enough to enfold US In Its en-
brace before we are prepared even for
Its approach is the influence which is
most far-reaching and enduring. 1t
asserts itself Of its W accord and
finding a ready welcome remains with
us long enough to help US on u way,
says the Charleston News and Cour-
Ter. Happy, indeed, is he who Is SO
fortunate as to discover for himself
the power for good which is Of most
use to him in his life work. W. need
all the help we a get. for life is not
all roses and sunshine, and when the
nettles prick and the shadows deepen
We are glad enough to feel the power
Of some good influence. 1t is in Our
most trying ordeals, however. that we
turn impatiently from those who
would force upon us some example
whose oft exploited projections have
become an old story, and it is in such
moments of trial that we greet with
Joy the wonderful power of that inlu'
ence which appeals to US naturally
even through the shadows that may
have gathered about US.

STREET STORIES

1t was amusing to the judge, court
attaches, jurors and others to hear
the definitions of the term assault
as given by two young attorneys in
the circuit court room recently
One attorney, in an accommodating
manner, attempted to explain the
term, but gave a slightly wrong def
milton
A young attorney ION the other
side arose and in a heated manner
gave vent to his pent up feelings on
what he regarded as as a wrong def
milton of the term.
LAS a student of law | say that the
assistant states attorney is wrong,
he said. 81 repeat, as a student of law
he is wrong on that definition"
The second barrister then went on
to explain the word. His definition
proved to be more erroneous than
that of his opponent. Old lawyers
and others in the court room smiled
at the attempt,

Christmas Attraction.

Aside from it's intense dramatic in
terest and spectacular features, The
Light Eternal" which comes to the
Gennett theatre Christmas, matinee
and night, has in it's makeup that
peculiar quality that demands support
if there is sincerity in the cry of the
public for the elevation of the stage.
The theatre is becoming more and
more a great popular teacher. and has
in the past so often made propaganda
for hippancy, irreverence and immor
ality that every encouragement should
be given to an effort that demon
strates the high purpose it may serve,
and please the public at the same
time.
This play, primarily a sensational
and spectacular drama, embodies ev-
cry good feature that counts for sue
cess in present day theatricals, and
at the same time depicts scenes and
conditions teaching a powerful moral
and religious lesson. The Light
Eternal is drama of the early Rom
an period, having to do with the per-
secution of the early Christians by the
pagans under Emperor Diocletian.

Unconscious Bravery.

At a place called Anghin. about for
ty miles south of Bangkok, China
man and his wife cultivated a small
sugar cane plantation. The man had
been greatly annoyed by having his
cane eaten by his neighbors' buffalo
calves. Coming home one evening just
at dark, he saw what he thought was
one of the marauders at work on the
cane. Stealing silently up behind it,
he struck 1t a mighty blow with a
heavy club. The animal dropped with
out a sound. The Chinaman told his
wife what he had done and added.
THAT calf will steal no more of my
cane" In the morning he found that
the "ca'f'' was a full grown tiger. He
had killed 1t by breaking its neck, just
as the woman Of Nam had done. And
John was so much impressed with his
own narrow escape that he took to his
bed and was sick for a week.-Youth's
Companion.

THE TINY HUMMING BIRD.
In One Species Its Bill Is Nearly az

Long as It's 0COy.
All humming birds. though varying
much in size and color exhibit the

wings being strong considering the
small size Of the bird). while the legs
and feet are remarkably weak and del
icate. clear indication that these lit
tie creatures are intended to spend al
most all their time in the air.
In accordance with this we find that
humming birds are never seen on the
ground; that even when feeding they
seldom trouble themselves to alight.

fore the flower on whose juices they
mean to feed. the rapid vibration of
the wings causing them to appear like
two fans of filmy gauZe and producing
at the same time that peculiar hum

derive their popular name.
The beak of most humming birds is
long, delicate and slightly curved to
enable it to reach the Utmost receSSes
OF the trumpet shaped flowers which
abound In the tropical regions, but the
shape OF the beak is very variable.

flower on which the bird feeds.
In some instances it is nearly straight.

Where to Find Things.
Among twenty clerks employed by
a New York importing house it was
no easy matter for one to attract the
attention Of the manager. And it was
not with any such idea. in fact. that
young Gaven kept his desk and the
papers in his care in the most neat and
careful order. He did 1T just because
he had a systematic mind and liked
things In place.
He was always able at a moments
notice to put his hand on anything he
needed. So when the manager hap
pened to need certain price list.
copies of which had been given not
only to Gaven. but to every one of the
other nineteen clerks. it was Gaven
who placed his hand on his copy while
the others were just beginning to won
der where they had put theirs.
There was no comment on that. but
q few days later when the manager
again needed certain papers Gaven
found them first.
Aren't you the man who gave me
that price list on Monday?" asked the
manager. Yes" We'll, my private
secretary has just been promoted, and

know where to find things Would you
like the placer"
There was only one answer to that.
That was how Gaven got his first step

If we seek the original creator Of
landed wealth in New York we must
look over the heads of Astor and the
Goelets to De Witt Clinton. the man
who in 1925 pushed to completion the
Erie canal.
Up to that time New York was not
inevitably marked out for the Amer
lean metropolis. In 1900 Philadelphia
was actually a larger city. and Balti-
more, with it's splendid harbor and its
inland river communication, confident
ly expected to grasp the nations COM
mercial leadership.
But the Erie canal changed the stu
alton in twinkling 1t placed the city
in communication with inland New
York-an agricultural empire in itself.
whose wealth had previously flowed
by way of the Susquehanna river to
Baltimore-aEd New York became the
seaport for the agricultural states Dor
dering on the great lakes.
Until the Erie canal was opened it
had cost $SS ton to transport wheat
from Buffalo to Albany With this
new waterway the cost fell to some
thing more than IS. A string of cities.
several of which became large ones,
sprang up along its course. all tribu-

Pennsylvania Official at FL
dorado Sends a Bullet
Through Brain.
palladium Specially

ELDORADO, o., Dec. 23.-Ill health,
1t is believed, was responsible for the
death of Charles Petry, aged AZ, who
committed suicide here Friday after
noon. Petry had been ticket agent
here for the Pennsylvania railroad for
the last thirty years. Following the
suicide 1t was rumored that Petry was
short in his accounts with the COM
pany and that the arrival of Inspect
or Stackle of Columbus, here Friday
morning to make an investigation OF
the office had some Significance.
However, up to a late hour today no
shortage or other evidence of irregu-
larity had been disclosed.
Upon the arrival of Inspector Stack
le he was invited by Petry to lunch.
Before the luncheon was prepared,
however, the inspector and Petry
spent about an hour together chatting
pleasantly. After lunch they went TO
the office, but had not been there long
until Mr.. Petry told Inspector Stackle
that he had to return to his home to
secure something, which he said he
had forgotten.
Within a short time after he had
reached his home, his wife, daughter
and neighbors were attracted by the
report Of a pistol in an upstairs room
OF the Petry residence. fastening to
the scene, they were confronted by the
spectacle Of Mr.. Petry lying on the
bed with a gaping bullet wound in his
left temple and a. revolver lying by
his side

ployed by the company, was sum
