Chautauqua will become the most at
tractive on the coast.
Because of it's geographical loca-
tion and its proximity to the agricul-
tural and horticultural districts of
the county Medford is the logical To-
cation for a county fair. If these in
terests are not divided the combined
patronage will justify both a county
fair and a Chautauqua second to
none on the coast. Let the fair be
Medford's occasion and the Chautau-
qua ours.

SOME HEALTH HINTS

A bulletin issued by the Chicago
health commissioner, George B
Young, contains few epigrams worth
preserving in cities as big as Pine
Bluff or Us small as Chicago. Here
they are:
Cleanliness is the keynote in the
arch of life
To measure the health security OF
a neishbOrhood take look at its back
yards and its alleys. Shun a dirty
neighborhood."
Some people seem to think that
alleys are maintained as places where
they may indiscriminately deposit
their wastes and filth. Get that no.

MORE SUCCESSFUL
They Should Be in Demand for Positions
Requiring Good Judgment.

1t is eXhilaratlng to notice re-
turning wave of good sense in re-
gard to the dead line of human ca
pability. Ever since Dr.. Osler
made his unfortunate reference. to
the man who has passed the forty
year mark we have heard nothing
but nonsense on the subject. The
gossips made the learned physician
say that every man more than forty
years old might as well be killed,
for his best usefulness was past. In
reality he said nothing of the sort,
for he knew better,
The best work Of the world, with
some remarkable exceptions, has al
ways been done by mature persons
and without question it always will
be. Poetry, no doubt, flows more
freely from young genius than from
gray. Byron, Keats, Shelley, Burns,
unite to teach us that sad lesson.
We may as well add that great con-
querors have usually won their most
brilliant victories before the grass
hopper became burden. But the
important common work of the
world is always done better by men
of ripe experience than by youths.
This nobody who knows the history
of men and their achievements ever
questions. but for all that it is a
comfort to see the common opinion
supported by science.

DAN PATCH is DEAD

1t is always hard to chronicle the
death of friend, but doubly so. one
who through years of faithful SER
vice has endeared himself to those
about him and brought sunshine to
weary hearts through his always
cheerful disposition and mute conf
calities. So it is with feelings of
genuine regret that the Mirror must
herald the death of that faithful old
war horse Dan Patch who has been
a moving-a very slow moving fix
ture about this institution for twen-
ty years or more.
The end came peacefully. He
had not been feeling we'll since Gum
Shoe' his driver left several weeks
ago. They were much attached to
each other, were Gum Shoe and
Dan, and their parting was pitiful
to behold. After that Dan didn't
seem to care to live. He went about
his work listlessly and ate little, 80
when the news of his death reached
us we were not surprised. He had
died of broken heart.

THE ENTIRE NATION
IS AROUSED
And DeIeware Will be Compelled by Force
Of Public Opinion, to Abolished its
Barbarous Whipping Practice. Con-
gresham Evans Attacks the Law.
A NOTABLE SPEECH

Governor Miller's defense of the
whipping post in Delaware has
stirred the whole nation to action,
and has brought down upon his
head the righteous condemnation of
the press and influential men all
over the country.
The right thinking element in
Gov. Miller's own state has started
an effective, powerful crusade
against this barbaric treatment of
offenders, and as the right thinking
element of Delaware composes the
vast majority of her citizens, Gov.
Miller finds, that he has stirred up
hornets nest which will probably
cause him considerable grief before
his sojourn at the capitol as the ex-
ecutive head of the state government
is ended.
In speaking of Gov. Miller's atti-
tude in the House of Representatives
at Washington recently, Congress-
man John M. Evans of Montana said:
l am perfectly willing to abide by
the decision of the Attorney Gener-
al. Notwithstanding that, l still
feel that somewhere, at some time, a
remedy will be found that will for
ever put stop to the practice of the
courts of Delaware. Despite all the
good things Delaware has done,
there are millions of people who
feel there is one thing she has. left
undone that does not add to her
credit-that is, her failure to keep
abreast of the times and abolish the
last relic of cruelty incorporated In
her laws before even the adoption of
the American Constitution.
Women Not Flo&eed
Why is woman not f1ogged in
Delaware? The answer comes Oack
Immediately: To fog woman
would be crnel, so crnel that the
good people of Delaware would not
sit complacently by and permit it.
All of which appeal to me to prove
that corporal punishment as inflicted
in the great State of Delaware is
cruel and in direct violation of the
best sentiments of the country.
To resort to the whipping post
in this, the 10th century, is simply a
call of the Wild No crime was
ever deferred by the commission of
another crime. To take helpless
human being. bind him to post and
beat him to the extremity of human
endurance must of necessity be de-
grading to the helpless victim, the
man who applies the lash, the mob
which looks upon the crime and the
state or nation that sits idly by and
does nothing to prevent its COM
mission.

profit from the dirt and dust which
accumulates on the floors of the big
factory.
Twice each day the floors are
carefully swept and all dirt and dust
removed to the second floor rear,
where an ingeniusly constructed
machine separates the particles of
sisal from the dust and this is con-
verted into heavy rope to be used
in the bal1ng of twine for shipment.
AS the sisal is removed, the remain
ing dust is sucked through an I'M
mense vacuum tube to the boiler
room where it is used as fuel. Now

The Engineer.
(By George Fitch.)

\by NCOI SC r T1lCu)
 The engineer is the large, quiet man in overalls who acts as mahout of the modern locomotive.
 In the last 30 years locomotives have quadrupled in weight. But the same sized engineers are still used, and are giving very good satisfaction.
 The engineer is one of the few men who can ride free on our railroad trains nowadays. His s pleasant life. All he has to do is to sit on cushioned seat and career blithely ov- CT and through the space and scenery and various Instructions
 He does not have to work at all. i The fireman does the work. All the engineer does is to pull the throttle and yank the reverse lever and ma nipulate the brake and watch the steam gauge and supervise the forced draft and jolly aloNg the headlight dynamo and lubricate the steam dome and keep an eye on the superheater and block up one side occasionally, when the high pressure cylinder head blows out
 The rest Of the time he rides en- tirely at his ease and amuses him self by wondering if he can pick up the next switch signal soon enough to stop the train if it happens to be red.
 The engineer, it will thus be seen, leads a jolly life and enjoys a great deal of travel during the year. He usually travels about 25O miles a day and when he gets off his engine he looks like Othello in overalls. If he travels too fast the company lays him off for speeding. If he travels too slow the train dispatcher reports him. and if he suddenly stops travelling al together in the middle of the journey the coroner usually sits upon him and the officials try to prove that he wrecked his train and himself on purr pose.
 The engineer is aiways present at all train wrecks, and usually he is in reserved seat in the front row. When the engineer observes anoth- CT 200-ton engine approaching his on the same track at the rate of 60 miles an hour he is supposed by etiquette to remain at his post. This he usu- ally does and when the wreckage is cleared away he is discovered holding the attacking engine in his lap.
 There are a great many different causes of wrecks in this country, but there is usually one standard result. The engineer is ruined for all flu ture use as a citizen. It almost seems, sometimes, as, if many rail- road companies used no precautions against accident beyond supplying engineers to serve as buffers between the opposing trains.
