fatally injured about $3.50
last night as the result of an
accident which occurred in the
company's yards in the east
ern part Of the city. The
train on which Davis was run
ming had just arrived from
the east and he had uncoupled
the engine preparatory to ac-
companying it to the round
house.
AS near as can be learned
the engine was backing toward
Davis and as it approached
him he reached for the steps
on the rear Of the~tender. Hi5
foot slipped, however, and h4
was drawn beneath the. tender,
the front wheels passing over
his right limb, practically sever
ling it at the thigh. The
limb was horribly crushed and
mangled and in addition Davis
suffered internal injuries.
Engineer Arthur N. Sheri-
dan Of this city, who was run
ming the engine, saw Davis
/ just as he was drawn beneath
the wheels. He made a her
oic effort to bring the engine
to. an immediate stop but was
unsuccessful in doing so before
the wheels had passed over
Davis limb. The unfortunate
man was found between the
engine and the engine tender.
Engineer Sheridan and other
members Of the train crew re-
moved him to the yard office
where an ambulance was sum-
moned and the Great Northern
surgeon allied. In the meantime

this Condition
S. M. Hallquist, for many
years a resident Of this great
Bowbells country, but who left
here several years ago for
Tompkins, Sask., where he filed
on 320-acre homestead and
where he has since made his
home, was here several days
this week while on his way
home from Montevideo, Mimi,
where he spent two months
with his family at the >old
home. While here he and his
family were guests at the home
of his brother Olaf of near Nj

some real estate here and had
planned on disposing Of it while
on this trip, but changed his
mind after learning what land
was selling at. ut is perfectly

fore leaving for his Canadian
home, ito see how low the far
mers in Burke county are hold

is worth several times what
they ask for it. and they don't
seem to know it. Down at Monl
tevideo where I just visited the
land is just about the same as
it is out in the hills here. The
farmers are unable to cultivate
all their land and put in patches
here and there on the hillsides
or in the low places. They
have to work like the devil to
get their land into crop each
year and have just as big a:job

me crazy to make all the short
turns they make in working In
their fields, but still this land
is selling at from $100 to $685.

there would starve to keAth

alone. Most of them raise hogs
and cattle. / also noticed In
the eastern and southern part
of this state where crop failures
are just as frequent as they are
here that land is selling at from
$50 to SIS per acre. The farmers
there have no advantage over
the farmers in Burke county
and their land is worth no more,
but they ask the price and
seem to be getting it. Land
is selling for about a third what
it is worth here in Burke coun-
ty. and the owners of the land
have only themselves to blame
for til They should go more
into dairying and stock raising
and at the same time put the
price of land up to at least $50
per acre. It is worth it and
they can get it, Mr.. Hallquist
told us that he was doing excep-
tionally well on his farm near
Tonpkins and that it was his
intention to eventually dispose
Of his real estate here and to
reside on his Canadian land per-

DR.. Blanchard of Columbus Dies
Wednesday Evening After
Short Illness

DR.. Harold B. Blanchard of
Columbus, one of the leading
physicians in this section of the
state, died at his home at $3.50
o'clock Wednesday evening aft
ter an illness of but a few days
death deceased seemed to beget-
week he contracted a severe
case of scarlet fever and was
compelled to take to his bed.
Drs. Doe of Bowbells, Paulson
of Flaxton and Keyes Of Sher-
wood were with him almost con-
tinually from the time he took
ill until his death, but were un-
able to do anything to prolong
his life.
A few hours prior to his
death deceased seemed to be get
ting better, but an attack of
heart failure. brought the final
summons that called him into
the great beyond.
The deceased was, 20 years of
age, married and had a son four
years old. He came to Column
bus about four years agotoprac-
tice his profession from Brook
vile, Ont, and by his great sue
cess among his patients and his
many pleasant ways he built up
"a custom which he extended
some distance outside the Col
unbus territory. Since coming
to Columbus he has visited Bow
bells on numerous occasions and
was known almost as well here
as he was at home.
The remains were shipped
last night to his old home at
Brookville, Ont, where inter-
ment will take place. The sor-
rowing friends and relatives
have the sympathy Of the en-
tire county.
The Tribune takes pleasure is
complimenting States Attorney
H. A. Hanson on his habit of
staying in his office a major
portion of the time. Since he
moved to Bowbells he has spent
practically every minute during
the days at his office rooms, ex-
cept when called away on busi-
ness, and our people always
know where to find him. No
other county officer is attending
to business as close as Mr.. Han
son is.

ANCIENT cITYs SITE LOST
Treasures Of Lystra Taken Away BY
Town Builders.

All that we saw In the early days Of
1912 on the site Of ancient Lystra wal
a hillside covered with fragments o1
broken marble and q few larger stones
scarcely one Of them in the position
where It was originally placed, says
Christian Herald correspondent. Lys'
ira, like most Of these ancient cities
has served as a quarry for the neigh.
boring villages, and for Thousand
years past when any Of the inhabitants
wished to build house or mosque
q retaining wall or buffalo shed, they
have hastened to the almost inexhaus
tible treasures Of marble and granite
which were erected with so much pains
and expense into the beautiful cities oi
old
Magnificent marble columns, ornate
capitals, memorial stones covered WITH
inscriptions, the tombs Of the deao
even, have served the vandals OF latel
generations and provided for them
abundant building materials.
So 1t has come about IN Lystra' as II
other cities of antiquity. that scarcely
a trace of its ancient glories remains
Indeed 1t takes a skilled and learned

Of many Of these ancient cities. Lystra
was passed by Sir William Ramsay
who journeyed within few yards Of
the ruins of the city without ever real
izing that he was practically on the site
of the town for which he was search
ing, and it was only the discovery OF
Lystrian coin and single monumental
inscription by Professor Sterrett, oi
Cornell university n few years later
that settled forever the position OF the
ancient, city for which explorers and
archeologists had so long been search

BIue-Eyed Men.-Blue-e men
says a Kansas expert, make very poor
husbands. They had 326 cases of wife
abandonment in Kansas this year, and
in almost every case the offender was
a man with blue-eyes.
Upon the other hand, blue-eyed mer
make excellent presidents. and our owr
republic has scarcely looked anywhere
else. The only dark-eyed president we
ever haL was William Henry Harrison
He took one good look at the problems
ahead of him and died In Office, leaving
John Tyler, blue-eyed man, to worR
it.all out.
Moreover, blue-eyed men have al
ways been the worlds champion
marksmen, and but for them, tyrants
had not been overthrown, slavery had
not been put down, and there would be
no liberty. Dark-eyed men are brave
but they never hit anything. This is
borne out every time there is an inter
national shooting match. 1t is proven
over and over again in the occurrence
of great wing shots like Crosby and

OUR PROVERBS
Many Of them Originated Centuries
| Aoo.l t

Many Of them Originated Centuries
Ago.
Many proverbs have come down to us
from remote ages, and are common TO
all nations.
It Is said that king of Samos work.
ed his slaves nearly to death in MAX
ing a vineyard. This provoked one OF
them to prophesy that his master would
never drink the wine. The king being
told of this, when the first grapes were
produced took handful and, pressing
the Juice into q cup In the presence OF
the slave, derided him as false proph-
ct. Many things happen between the
cup and the lip" the slave replied.
Just then q shout was heard that
wild boar had broken into the vine
yard The king, without tasting, set
down the cup, ran to meet 1t, and was
killed In the encounter. Henceforth the
words of the slave passed Into pro-
verb.
From the Greek original came two
French proverbs: Between the hand
and the mouth the soup Is often split
and Wine poured out is not swallow
ed" Neither Is so near the orig nal as
our English, There's many a slip be-
twixt cup and lip"
It Is curious to trace how similar
ideas have taken root In different Ian
guages and the various modes OF illus
trating the same thought. For instance,
one or two familiar proverbs In our
own language. We say, "A bird In the
hand is worth two In the BUSH" The
same idea Is expressed by Italians
when they say, Better an egg today
than a pullet tomorrow" and the
French proverb Is still more signifi-
IL io to q u
you shall -have-its." Better leveret
in the kitchen than wild boar In the
forest" is the Livonian saying con-
veying the same meaning.
The proverbs on luck are numerous
and expressive in all languages. In
English we say, 1T Is better to be born
lucky than rich" The Arabs convey
the same idea In the apt proverb,
Throw him into the Nile and he will
come up with fish in his mouth"
while the German says, If he flung
penny on the roof dollar would come
back to him."
A Spanish proverb says, God send
you luck, my son, and little wit will
serve YOU" There Is Latin adage.
Fortune favors FOOLS" and 1t is to this
Touchstone alludes in his reply to
Jacques, Call me not fool till Hea-
ven hath sent me fortune"
The Germans say, Jack gets on by
his stupidity" and Fortune and wo-
men are fond Of FOOLS" There is also
Latin proverb which shows that the
converse Of this holds good: Fortune
makes fool Of him she too much ia
vors."
Some unlucky Englishman is re-
sponsible for the saying: IF my father
had made me a halter men would have
been born without heads" but this can
scarcely be called original, as an un-
fortunate Arab, ages ago, declared, IF
I were to trade in winding sheets no
one would die"
"Misfortunes Sc. ,om come singly,"
has many equivalents in all languages
The Spaniards say, welcome, misfor-
tune, II thou comest alone" and
whittier thou goest, misfortune? To
where there Is more" .
