Birthplace Of Individuality.

Many great human qualities come
to their best In a life OF comparative
isolation. A big tree, an oak or elm,
standing out in an open field has
toughness of fiber, a spread of boughs
and roundness of shape that is never
seen in a tree that stands in the
woods. So people get individuality by
being much alone. They become self
reliant by relying on themselves. They
gain clear opinions by thinking things
over, and thinking them out to their
necessary conclusions. They acquire
inflexibility of purpose by facing OBJ
stacles and conquering them. The
pioneers of our country and the faith
ers of the republic were such men.
The projectors of great undertakings
carried through triumphantly have ac-
quired their power In this way. The
country is the natural nursery of such
qualities. People are wanted on the
farms to raise corn and grow stock
for the markets; but they are wanted
there far more for the training of
manhood and womanhood in moral
worth, in religious sensibility, in all
the traits of a strong, upright person
atty. In the future as never hereto
fore, our cities with their multiplying
wealth and lavish luxury are likely to
need the country for that steady re-
newal of their better life which shall
keep them from relaxing into sensu-
atty and sinking into decay.-Atlan.

Gas Found In Trees.

Professor J. A. Ferguson OF the
Pennsylvania state college, reports .
curious phenomena connected with the
cutting of hardwood trees in the Ozark
mountains. Cavities near the base of
the trees are often found to contain
gas. When these cavities are cut into
by the oak tie cutters of the region
the gas escapes with a whistling
sound, showing it to be under pres
sure, and If lighted it will burn with
a faint yellow flame. The sides of
the cavities containing gas are in all
cases darkened and look as though
scared with hot iron. The popular
belief of the district is that these trees
are connected through their roots with
a subterranean supply of natural gas,
and the land on which they grow is
valued accordingly. An examination
of the gas collected from a cotton
wood tree was made by Professor Blu
song Of the university of Kansas, and
it was found to be substantially the
same as natural gas with the addition
of some free hydrogen. Professor
Ferguson believes, however, that this
gas is the product of decomposition
Of the heartwood Of the trees.-Pitts-

Edison Invention Opens

Keller heard her own voice and was
able to distinguish some words of
song for the first time is vouchsafed
for by Mrs. l. M. Ilsen, the personal
representative of Mr.. Edison in Cleve-

During the experiment Miss Keller
held wooden piano key in her hand
which she laid inside horn. This
key method has long been used by Mr..
Edison as an aid to his own hearing.
After the music was over, relates
Mrs. Ilsen, Miss Keller placed her
head in the horn and spoke to her
teacher, Mrs. Macy. She appeared
startled and then told that she heard
herself speaking and that she did not
pronounce her words as distinctly as
she thought she did.
"The dream of my life is to meet
that wonderful man. He has given
me the greatest pleasure in all my
life," was her comment when the ex-
pertinent was over.
Edison, learning of the wish of Miss
Keller to meet him, sent his auto fol

the hippopotami of the Chobe, Living

males are expelled from the herd they
become soured in their temper and SO
misanthropic as to attack every canoe
that comes near them. The herd is
never dangerous except when canoe
passes into the midst of it when all
are asleep, and some of them may
strike the canoe in terror. AS a rule,
these animals flee the approach of
man. The 'solitaires,' however, fire.

the inhabitants on the banks and, like

MURDER RUNS RIOT
Rubber Colony in Venezuela Scene
Of Unparalleled Atrocities.
Armed Band of Drunken Rebels
Plumber Freely and Kill All
Who Oppose Them.

Manaos, Brazil-A motor launch has
arrived here with refugees from the
rubber colony of the Territori de Am
azona, Venezuela, telling of l73 MUIR
ders there in the last few months and
confirming stories of atrocities brought
here by Michael j. Gilleran, an Amer
lean refugee who had been ordered to
be shot and who escaped in canoe,
making the trip here through several
hundred miles of the Rio Negro.
Refugees arriving here tell of a
reign of terror and anarchy in the
rubber colony. A rebel force has been
organized under General Gonzales and
all who are suspected of being opposed
to him are shot.
The latest crimes include the MUIR
der of eight women and four young
girls in the rubber territory between
San Fernando de Atabapo, on the
Orinoco, and San Carlos de Rio Negro.
1t is believed here that these women
and girls were put to death because il
was feared they would escape and
spread to the world news of the hor-
rors being committed in the colony.
1t is believed they were members Of
the families of men who already hac
been murdered.
This condition Of anarchy and muir
der has been brought to the attention
of President Gomez, of Venezuela, but
no troops have been sent to oppose the
rebels.
The most atrocious murder was thai
on May last, of General Roberto
Pulido and 26 men and boys at Sar
Fernando. Mr.. Gilleran tells thrill.
ing story of this butchery.
General Puido was appointed gov
ernor by President Gomez a few weeks
BEFORE" he said. 1.-The traders wait
ed on him and tried to make terms
but he told them he would accept NJ
bribery, that the export taxes woult
have to be paid and that lawlessnes
must cease. From that minute h

Antonio Varella, whom Presiden
Gomez had sent to the colony in charg
of customs.
1.-THE traders gathered about go me-

them with rum and at o'clock in tn
evening armed them with rifles, re
volvers and knives and turned Their
loose. The house in which Geners
Pulido had taken quarters was attack
ed and the governor and rs other
were murdered in the butchery tha
followed.
1.-The house was plundered of a

RailrOaders Say Traffic
Equal to Last Year

Chicago-Little change was noted in
the amount of traffic handled by the
Western railroads during the last
week, although on some roads there
were heavier movements of general
merchandise and grain. This was par
ticularly true in the Northwest, where
shipments of both of these commodi-
ties considerably exceeded those of the
same period last year. The Christ
mas holidays probably are responsible.
Railroads operating eastward from
Chicago and St. Louis last week

under that of the same period year
ago.

tables and other seasonable fruit

TRUST TO DISSOLVE
Telephone & Telegraph Company
Bows to Antitrust Law.
Disposes of All Western
Union Stock-Long Distance
Service Given to Rivals.

Washington, d. C.-Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds made public Saturday
details of an agreement for reorgan-
ization of the American Telephone &
Telegraph company, the telephone
trust" which will prevent litigation
to dissolve that corporation under the
antitrust act and under which compe
titive conditions would be restored in
the telephone service of the entire
country and the combine will dispose
of its holdings in the Western Union
Telegraph company.
The reorganization plan originated
with the company, although it fol-
lowed many reports that suit against
it might be filed. 1t was regarded by
department of justice officials as the
most striking indication offered in a
decade that "big business" has come
to the conclusion that it is better to
follow the Sherman law than fight it.
The plan met not only the approval
of the attorney general and his chief
"trust buster" G.. c. Todd, and Off
cials of the subsidiaries of the COM
bine, but was heartily approved by
President Wilson. In letter to Mr..
McReynolds the President expressed
his admiration for the attitude of the
telephone company and his conviction
that such conduct on the part of bust.
ness men meant building up of bust.
ness on sound and permanent lines.
Coming on the heels of the an
nouncement that Postmaster Genera
Burleson is interested in government
ownership of telephone lines, the &C
ton of the department of justice tool

cials went so far as to express the
opinion that it indicated legislation tt
