Mr., Wilson disclosed no new trait
Of character by his anti-panic declara-
ton. What he said was wholly in
keeping with the general run of his
public utterances. The Press is be-
lated in its appreciation, but an organ
usually is behind time in all matters
vitality affecting the public interest.
Still, although late, its approval is

About the Spare Room.

How often the best and sunniest
bedroom in small house is set aside
for the rare visitor, while the chill
dren are cramped for space, or its
master, the bread-winner, has some
dark cupboard as his special sanctum.
If he attempts to write in the dining
room he must bundle away his papers
whenever the table is required for q
meal, and the wear and tear to his
temper--for every man finds 1t ag-
gravating to be "hustled"-often
makes him "gey Ill to live with" But
for the fetish" of that seldom used
spare room he would find home far
more home-like, and his wife would
reap a sure reward for the sacrifice
Of the petty pride which makes her
think more of what people will say
than Of her husbands comfort.

BEAVER FINDS AN ADVOCATE
British Rancher Of Opinion the Little
Animal Is Much Abused, and
olves His Reasons.

There has been a lot of garbled
stuff written In regard to the moor
humble beaver" says a correspondent
He is the most cussed animal of any
In existence in British Columbia to-
day.
He shuts up water in creeks, over
flows meadows eats off apple trees II
you get them too close to his wander
ings, and. in fact, to hear the COM
plants about him, you folks on the
outside would think he should be ex-
terminated But not so; he is mans
best friend in regard to the water
question.
Nov, am an admirer of the beav-
er; he has not lazy hair on his body.
He works increasingly to shut up what
you have torn out; not only for his
part, but for the rancher that wants
the water. AS fast as you can open
their dams every morning all the sum-
mer through, they will close them
again at night But put in a good
dam and fiume box with gate, and your
trouble Is over in a great measure.
"They will once in q while shut I'D
the box, but not often. Hang up a
piece of bright tin on a spring hole so
the tin will swash in the water. and
you will not be bothered much at the
box. Now, If the ranchers left all
these cuts open, which they all do,
your water would all run off in the
winters thaws. So that is where the
beaver comes to their relief. He shuts
them up himself. And then he gets
blamed for doing 1t.
"a beaver is awful shy when he
first sees man. He certainly puts out
for hole in the bank. But you show
up evenings for about a week or ten
days and just walk around and pile
few sticks across their path where
they are hauling down cotton wood or
willows to the lake or pond and they
will come and smell Of the stick and
get the scent Of your hands and your
tracks.
Then they will quit that place and
go make another. Well, you do the
came at that place and SO on two OF
three nights and they will get your
scent so that they know 1t means no
helA Al w Ih@AA. AAOy Will pull I'LL your
sticks out of the road and keep right
on at work. Now their fear of man is
all past; they take no more notice of
your being around than they would
Of horse or COW.
1.-THE beaver is one Of the easiest of
the larger animals to domesticate. He
is fond Of most any kind of roots, but
Of all the wild roots, he likes the big
pond lily root that grows to enormous
size. Some roots are ten to fifteen
feet long, three to four inches in d.
ameter. They criss cross and grow
together till they are a regular mat.
Then what he likes next is the white
carrot, also the red They are poor
eaters out Of dish; they want to sit
up and brace themselves on that mus
cular tail and take the food In their
forepaws, or their little hands."-Fur

LEARNING TO KNOW WILSON.

Woodrow Wilson says that he said
the same before the nomination that
he has said since. 1t was at the Staun-
ton dinner he made this statement:
There are certain gentlemen, /
dare say one of them is present to-
night, who have frankly told me that
there was time when they were
afraid of me, because they thought |
had some screw loose or l was rather
wild, Virginia herself in the conven-
ton showed no great enthusiasm for
my nomination. But these gentlemen
now say to me that in view of things
l have said since l was NOMINATED
the same things l said before | was
nominated-they are no longer afraid
of me. BY which | draw the simple
conclusion they did not read the
things that l said before l was nomi-
mated and that after l was nominated
it became worth their while really to
find out what l did actually say"
One of the new light-seers is the
editor of the New York Press. This
is unexpected, because the Press was
the special organ of Mr., Roosevelt in
the recent campaign, having been
purchased from Mr.. Einstein by Mr..
Munsey in order that Mr.. Roosevelt
should have the earnest support OF a
New York daily.
Mr.. Wilson's recent warning to
stock gamblers that they had better
not think of starting a gamblers
panic in Wall Street appeals to the
Press editors fancy, and, lin conse-
quence we read the following taken
from that paper;
"The Woodrow Wilson who has
stood up to shake his fist in the face
of stock-market manipulators is not
the Woodrow Wilson we thought he
was in the campaign.
He is a bigger and a better Wood
row Wilson than the American people
knew in the contest for the presiden.
cy. He may even be bigger Wood
row Wilson than he imagined himself
to be. A mans courage, suddenly
demonstrated in trying emergencies,
often astonisnes himself more than
any one else; he shows himself quail
ties that were never revealed to his
own consciousness.
I'VE saw Mr.. Wilson in the presi-
dental battles as a timid man, avoid
ing some issue, skimming on the
surface of others, and giving quarter
to some men worse than few he
had put to the sword.
1--WE feared that he was not fight
er. We never quite trusted in his
stamina or in his consistency.
"If the majority of the American
people were not with Mr.. Wilson on
election day the vast majority will
follow him on any issue like the one
of letting unofficial power intimidate
presidents.
"The whole American people will
be at his back when he takes a stand
like this. No question of partizanship
can come in here. After all, what the
nation wants is truly progressive gov
eminent, and it will be glad to get it |
from any party or any combination of
parties through which progressive gov
results.
I'm carrying out progressive meas
ures Mr.. Wilson needs the sentiment
Of the whole country solidly behind
him, for he win have to fight the big
powers Of his own party on some is.

Rich Senator Asks Pension

Washington, D. c., June 22.--Sen-
ator Warren of Wyoming, one OF the
richest members of the upper house
of Congress, has formerly applied for
Civil War veterans pensions OF SIG
per month.
In giving his reasons for asking
for the pension, Senator Warren
said:
"First, the pension will be given
to charity. l shall not receive the
benefit of single penny.
Second, l have had occasion to
hunt for the war records of my rev.
dictionary ancestors. If they are re-
corded anywhere | could not find
them. So it occurred to me that my
Civil War record should be accessi-
BILE to my children and | thought it

Manufactured Arrowheads

That American souvenir seekers in
Europe are often victimized is freely
admitted. Furniture manufactured
a few years ago is roughed up and
sold under the guarantee Of having
done service in the breakfast room OF
Queen Anne. limitations Of all sorts
of anciently used household furnish
ings, utensils and ornaments are made
UP by skilled workmen and palmed
off on the gold-afflicted tourists at
phenomenal profits. But this sort OF
thing is not restricted to Europe; nor
to our hoveau rich, as is proved by
the confession of a man who recently
visited in Joplin.
This man, when boy, lived near a
great university and took much inter-
est in the museum maintained in the
geological department. Especially
was he interested in the collection OF
Indian arrow heads, which he thought
was not as large as it should be. SO
he and other boys obtained some flint
and surreptitiously went into the ar
rowhead business. Flint chips easily
when heated. 1t was quite feat for
Indians to make arrowheads, because
they had not iron or steel implements
to hold the heated stone while chip
ping it. The boys used simple pin
GERS. In a short time they had man.
ufactured a large and interesting
bunch of arrowheads and sold them
to the head of the museum depart
ment at the college for $40.
Probably the largest collection OF
genuine Indian arrowheads in the
world was that made by the late COL
onel Charles A. Ballou' of Rogers,
Ark. He was an extensive traveller
and an expert Judge Of genuineness
in all Indian relics.

Here's Hot Weather Don'ts.

Washington, D. c., June 3d.
Here are the "Hot Weather Dont's"
of DR.. Carl Alsberg, successor to DR..
H. w. Wiley, as chief Of the United
States Bureau of Chemistry:
Don't eat to excess.
Don't wear too many clothes.
Don't drink ice-cold beverages.
Don't look at the thermometer and
keep thinking how hot it is.
DR.. Alsberg says that cold drinks
delay digestion and may disorder the
stomach with consequent illness.
Temperate eating, barely keeping the
pangs of hunger in check, he says, is
one of the most effective methods OF
keeping well.

TOURING CAR JUMPS DITCH
Adrian Boy Killed; A Componion
Badly Hurt


Lester Walbourn OF Adrian was
killed and Mac Mccoy was seriously
injured Tuesday evening at about
$50 o'clock, when an automobile in
which they were riding jumped ditch
throwing both young men out.
Walbourn, Mccoy, Homer Mefford
and Claud Boswell with Frank Moody
driving were riding in the car near
the Whittmore farm u miles west OF
Adrian when the accident occurred.
At this place, a long hill slopes down
to a branch running across the road
with an abrupt turn onto a culvert
over the branch. The young men
drove down the hill at high rate OF
speed, missing the culvert with the
two wheels. The machine, however,
cleared the ditch, but the right hand
wheels struck the opposite approach,
throwing Walbourn and Mccoy out,
the car, which was of the UNDER
slung type, skidded sideways for
about twenty steps, then stopped
without overturning.
Lester Walbourn was thrown from
the car by the shock alighting upon
his head and shoulders sixty feet
distant.
His head and shoulders were bad
ly crushed and death resulted at l2:4O
O'Clock Wednesday morning. Coro-
ner R. E. Crabtree was notified, but
inasmuch as the circumstances clear
ly showed an accident, did not con-
slider an inquest necessary.
Mac Mccoy was thrown about for
ty feet and seriously injured. His
arm was crushed at the elbow and
he sustained several bruises. 1t is
thought he will recover.
None of the other boys were
thrown from the car.
Walbourn, who was % years OF
age, was to have been married in
july.

were cut in this county not over 20.

at % cents apiece. At that time the
timber was hardly valued at over SO
to SIS per tree. Here is another proof
