Plays important Part in Life ct
Community

The labor of gathering and print
ang items of local interest in a
weekly paper is considerable. It al
SO requires some ability, and calls
for certain OUTLAWS of money. Some
thing must come back to balance
this outgo, otherwise the service can
not be maintained. It is necessary
that the weekly visit of the paper
be paid for, and that its advertising
space should not be abused.
The service is real and important
to the life of the community, though
it necessarily irritates some and
arouses more or less criticism from
first one and then another. What
ever inspires definite action and sets
people thinking will do that. Dis
cussion implies division of opinion
Or conflict of interests; and there
is no worse enemy of the common
welfare than one who would not toll
crate free expression Of thought,
and the publication of facts that con
Germ the public. Morgan City Out.

Where lightning Strikes.

Now comes the negation of an old
saying that lightning does not
strike twice in the same place" A
government map has been printed
showing a zone where trees are
most likely to be struck by light
ming, and the fallacy of lightning
not striking twice in the same place
has been proven by a scientific in
vestigation conducted by three thou
sand forest service officers in a ma
tlonal forest territory covering near
ly two hundred million acres. 1t
has been observed that some trees
are favorably located for attracting
the flashes of lightning and bear the
scars Of seven or eight thunderbolts.
The same is true Of some rocky
SUBMITS and buildings, and out of
907 cases recorded by one observer,
q covered repeated strokes on trees
and buildings. This ought to furnish
a new pointer or two for the ubi-
quitous lightning rod agent.
The old theory that the majority
of persons killed by lightning are
those who seek shelter under trees
is also exploded, for more than half
of such deaths occur in the open,
and less than one-quarter under
trees. The report also throws light
on the origin of forest fires, and light
ming has been given as one of the
chief causes second only to the
sparks from locomotives. Forked
lightning is much more destructive
than the ball or thunderbolt variety.
1t is more freakish, while the thun-
derbolt makes the most noise.
Scientific investigators have also
exploded the old-fasilioned verse
which insists that Lightning never
strikes the LAUREL ands also the old
saw: ID
"Beware the oak, ito draws the
stroke,
Avoid the ash, it courts the flash,
Creep under the thorn, it saves
from HARM
These verses are probably con-
structed for the purpose of rhyme
rather than to exploit scientific fact,
although report does show that some
trees suffer more than others. but
this it is claimed is because of posi-
ton rather than the variety of the
Magazine.

An Ant Illustration.

1t does not pay to advertise, say
some merchants who have done but
little Of it, and that without keeping
it up. The incident of the boy and
the pump illustrates the matter very
well. The boy was sent after a pail
of water. He poured in the printing
and poured out as much as he poured
in. Then he stopped to rest and
the printing ran down. After some
time of alternate pumping and rest
ing he concluded it did not pay to
pump and quit in disgust. The mer-
chant who does not believe in adver.
Using does like the boy who did the
pumping He advertised few
weeks, then stopped while and al
lowed the people to forget him and
bis business before he advertised
again, and then concluded advertis-
ing didn't pay.-Colfax Chronicle.

Watterson on TAFT.

Henry Watterson expresses the
feelings of the American people to-
ward ex-President Taft, when he
says:
Hats off to William Howard Tafti
The president who goes out today
did surely find Jordan a hard road
to travel! He that journeyed from
Jerusalem to Jericho. found not a
harder
Injins on the upper way,
And death upon the lower,
every mile beset with peril; the tar
if sink holes; the Ballinger morass;
the Pinchot ambuscade, though of
popguns, exasperating if not murder
Gus; the yawning chasms and impass-
able CULTS of progressiVism, as, still
surviving, he came down the home
stretch, the Jersey steep1echaser
forging ahead and finding a bridge
over the bodies of the slain piled up
in the ditch which Roosevelt made.
''Hats off to William Howard Taft!
He was called to answer many sins
not his. own. There is something
worse in this wicked world than de-
feat: dishonor. All the Teddys on
top O. dirt can not lay that cross of
humiliation upon the back, nor press
that cross of shame upon the brow,
of William Howard Taft. He'll is
full of desecrated friendships; broken
pledges; unexpiated sins and unes-
capable mistakes; but heaven has
still one halo left for him, He done
his duty as he seen it, writ all
over in letters of living light.
Hats off to William Howard Taft!
Long may he live to show what ali
ex-president ought to be- Nature
herself may stand uncovered and ex-
claim, "Behold a Mani"

Carnegie's Hero Fund.

| In answer to an inquiry as to
| which of his many benefactions he
| liked best, Mr.. Carnegie responded
that next to pensions to needy
friends, he was most interested in
the hero fund. This has the distinc-
ton of being Mr.. Carnegies own
idea and is entirely original It was
conceived after a serious mine acct
dent in Pittsburg, when a former SUI
perintendent of the mine, Mr.. Taylor,
hearing of it, drove many miles to
the scene and organized a band of
volunteers to save those entombed in
the mine. He went down into the
mine, saved a great number of men,
but lost his own life. "He had a fam
ily,' said Mr.. Carnegie, and contin-
ued in a sympathetic tone, what
are the valors of war compared with
such acts? I felt that such heroism
should be rewarded
The hero fund is now established
in the United States. Canada, Great
Britain, Germany, Belgium, Holland,
Norway, Sweden and Italy, and Mr..
Carnegie finds the reports from
these countries are the best of ton
les. The work was especially COM
mented upon by the German emperor,
who declared there was nothing like
it, and in his communication to Mr.
Carnegie stated that never before did
he know there We're SO many acct
dents, nor SO many heroes within his
borders, and he made particular men
ton of accidents which had recently
occurred-all relieved by the fund.
