Ioolo for the Bow.

Modern education has scored a dis
tinct advance by training the hands
OF children as well as their brains.
In the schools 1t is called manual
training.
Tools are the indication, as well as
the result, Of civilization. AS a peo-
pie become enlightened their tools
multiply and their expertness with
them increase.
The reverence we pay to the skilled
use Of tools is shown In the higher
value we place upon an article that
ts Handmade" That term seems to
confer distinction in addition TO the
assurance Of better workmanship.
Every child should be taught to use
tools and to keep them in proper con.
dition. 1t will develop a spirit of self
reliance, a lore OF achievement and q
correct appreciation of the so-called
dignity of labor"

Hsoas Tickling PIumes.

Those of N who have suftered-and

the plumoS which women will insist
on wearing. stuck at ridiculous angles
In their hats, must needs feel much
sympathy with the irats individual
who caused miniature Donnybrook
In an omnibus by endeavoring TO pluck
one OF these inconsiderats turtle
doves. Probably his assault was not
deliberate. When q foot OF feather
whisks into one's face every half min
ute, It excites the same kind of reflex
action Of the muscles az does a fly set
Ting on ones nose. Mans costume
may be as, ugly as you please; but it
seldom offends anything but the eye.
Women. in their personal adornment,
are strangely apt to be without the
smallest consideration for the comfort
or convenience of their neighbors.
Men have groaned under the tyranny
OF the cart wheel hat and fed In ter

they about to rebel against the nose.

Time for Reflection.

An old negro parson in southern
church was denouncing theft to his
congregation, when he said:
''If there is any member Of this
congregation who is guilty Of theft,
he had better repent at once and be
saved"
On his way home he was stopped
by Old Rastus, who had listened to
the sermon intently.
Don't you think, parson, that next
Sunday will do just as we'll as tonight
to repent?" asked Rastus.

DEATH VALLEY FEARED
DISTRICT A TERROR TO PRosPEc-
TORS AND TRAVELLERS. "
No Hope for the Man Lost on That
Trackless Waste Of Sand-First
Madness From Thirst, and
Then Death.

Death Valley has lost none OF It's
terrors since 1S49, when many gold
hunters perished in their attempts to
reach the bonanza fields in California,
says a Phoenix (Ariz) letter. The
relics of that expedition yet remain
on Salt creek to remind passers by Of
heroic struggle against great odds.
Today Death Valley practically. Is
unchanged. True, prospectors have
dug for gold and silver and copper in
the hills on every side; camps have
been made and. abandoned here and
there; water holes and stations estab-
lished in times of cross-valley travel
between Panamints and Funeral
Range; ranch has been developed on
which figs and melons and vegetables
grow in great ,abundance-the mecca
of hundreds of desert pilgrims and
sightseeing parties.
A stamp mill and an aerial railway
have been built and operated with a
telephone line reaching to civilization;
mule teams have been driven into the
depths and hauled out borax; yet
Death Valley, deep between the tower
ing gray hills, sunken, treacherous,
desolate, isolated, is unaltered by
the coming of man. 1t Is still the val
ley of death, claiming its victims one
by one, and harboring many unmarked
graves.
Earls G. Clemens, writing Of the
death of Peter Busch a friend, says
that eight years of desert experience
failed to aid Busch, who was travelling
by automobile. The car stuck in the
deep sand.
Clemens says:
zone has no idea of the oppression
OF the heat in Death Valley in sum-
mer, unless he has a personal expert
ence of it. The sun rises hot and sets
hot, with night sky full of strange
lights, like the flashing Of fireballs, the
phosphoric phenomena of weird,
spooky waste.
"The night brings some relief, but
the new day dawns hotter, it seems,
than the day before. The water in
your canteen is nauseating, as it al
most sizzles under the glare of the
merciless sun. The air pressure, hot
from above and below, almost stag
gers you, while your thick tongue,
S"SiliuS Tdpluly lIOu IulTSJp Ill UuL
strangles you.
1.-THE sand dunes, marked only by
mesquite, swallow you without afford
ing refuge from the heat, the wind
blows as If from a fiery furnace; the
sand shifts with the wind and the
trail is lost; the burros may stampede
and the last Of your grub may be
hopelessly scattered.
MANY have suffered horrible deaths
in that far away and lonely place;
gone mad from thirst and hunger,
thrown away canteen, grub, clothing,
and wandered aimlessly, only to lie
down and die, the prey of coyotes and
the grief of loved ones to whom their
resting place is unknown.
Some day, perhaps, a more fortu-
nate pilgrim has found skeleton and
dug grave with an occasional find
OF jewelry and papers by which the
| remains could be identified, but In the
year in which have been familiar
with the stories of the lost in Death
Valley, but few missing ones have

Thomas Martin Emerson Dies
Suddenly at His Home in
Wilmington; N. c.

WILMINGTON, n. c., Nov 20
this morning to learn that during the
night President Thomas Martin En-
erson, of the Atlantic Coast Line, had
passed away, for at nightfall there
was every assurance that his illness,
which began with'an attack of acute
Indigestion at Dupont, Ga, Sunday,
was not such as to cause undue
alarm.
In fact it was announced at his
home early in the evening that he eX-
pected to be at his office within two
or three days. Later in the night he
suffered an attack of angina pectoris,
which caused his death at II O'Clock
while surrounded by his family and
physicians at his costly home at
Carolina Heights, a fashionable SUI
burb. -
The funeral will be held at 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon from ST.
Johns Episcopal Church, this city,
and interment will be in the family
lot in the cemetery here.
President Emerson is survived by
his second wife, two daughters-Mrs.
Cornelius Vanleuvan and Mrs. Albert
Sydney Williams-and one son
Thomas NJ. Emerson, Jr., 3 years old.
Mr.. Emerson was a native of Ohio,
being born in Preble County, that
State, March 20, 1851. He entered the
railway service in Hagerstown in
1867. He rose successfully to the
presidency of the Atlantic Coast Line,
